Seeing Sun Wukong's ability, Xiao Shiyi was convinced, and Liu Xingyan also felt that he had met a savior.

Sun Wukong gave an order, and the monkeys all over the mountain gathered around him, chattering non-stop.

At this time, an old man with a book in his hand and a cloth coat came from a distance and shouted to this side: "Where did so many monkeys come from, disturbing the quiet!"

Sun Wukong put away his hair, and these monkeys disappeared suddenly. The old man in cloth was not too shocked, but was slightly stunned, then laughed, and said to himself: "The old man has been talking about books and writing stories for a lifetime, but he has encountered things that should be in the story here, strange, wonderful!"

The old man in cloth said as he walked, and walked slowly in front of Liu Xingyan and the others.

Tang Xuansong felt ashamed when he saw the old man coming so chicly, because he didn't dare to approach when he saw the monkey at that time, but this old man was very indifferent.

"You disturbed the purity of my old man's house, and in order to compensate for it, you must listen to my story. The old man in cloth was not afraid of anyone present, and he also had to tell a story, which shocked Tang Xuansong to grow his mouth, and the others were even more inexplicable.

"Old man, we're not in the mood to listen to your story, so you'd better find someone else to tell you. Liu Xingyan was eager to save his daughter, how could he still be in the mood to listen to him tell stories.

"Let him speak. "It's the monkey who speaks.

The old man in cloth looked at the monkey, suddenly stretched out his thumb, and exclaimed: "It's worthy of a spirit monkey, it seems that you like to listen to stories very much, let's tell you a story called Sansheng!"

"There was once a person, let's call him Hu, he could remember the events of his previous life and three lives......" The old man in cloth opened the book in his hand and began to speak loudly:

In his first life, he was a county magistrate, and he was the same examiner in the township examination, and was responsible for marking the papers. There was a celebrity named Xingyu Tang, who failed in the exam, died of indignation, and took his exam paper to the Yin Division to sue Hu.

Xing Yu Tang's complaint was thrown, and thousands of unjust ghosts who died of the same disease as him jointly promoted Xing Yu Tang as the leader and formed an accomplice in response. Hu was taken into the Yin Division and confronted the ghosts.

Hades asked him, "Since you are in charge of reviewing articles, why do you dismiss famous people and admit mediocre people?"

Hu called Qu and said: "I still have the chief examiner above, I am just acting on orders." ”

Hades then sent a sign and ordered the imp to detain the examiner. After a long time, the chief examiner was detained, and the king of Hades told him Hu's defense, and the chief examiner said: "I just summarize it at the end, even if there is a good article, the official does not recommend it, how do I know?"

Hades said: "You can't shirk each other's responsibilities in this matter, it is all considered a dereliction of duty, and you should be punished according to the law." ”

Just about to be tortured, Xing Yu Tang was not satisfied, and loudly shouted injustice, and all the ghosts under the two orders responded with ten thousand voices.

The king of Hades asked Xing Yu Tang for the sake of Xing, and Xing Yu Tang said loudly: "The flogging punishment is too light, and their eyes should be gouged out as retribution for not knowing the merits of the article!"

Hades disagreed, and the ghosts screamed more and more violently. Hades said, "It's not that they don't want to get good articles, it's just that their knowledge is too ugly." ”

The demons asked to cut out their hearts, and Hades had no choice but to order the little ghosts to strip off the examiner's clothes and cut out their hearts with a knife. The two of them were dripping with blood, screaming and screaming, and the ghosts were happy. They all said, "We are angry and depressed all day long, and there is no one who can breathe this way." Now, thanks to Mr. Xing, this resentment has been dissipated!" and then dispersed in an uproar.

After Hu was tortured, he was born as the son of an ordinary person. When he was in his twenties, he was caught up with bandits in his hometown, and he was captured by the bandits. The officers and soldiers went to arrest and captured many people, and Hu was also caught in it. I still think that I am not a thief, and I hope that the government can identify it and release it. When I saw the judge sitting in the lobby, he was also in his twenties, and when he looked closely, he was very excited. Lake was shocked. In a short time, all the captives were released, and finally Hu, who was not allowed to plead his case, was ordered to be killed.

Hu's unjust soul went to the Yin Division and sued Xing Tang. The king of Hades did not immediately detain Naxing in Tang, and waited until he enjoyed all his official fortunes, and did not hook Yin Si until thirty years later, and the two confronted each other.

Xing Yu Tang was born as an animal by Fatuo for killing people indiscriminately; Hu was afraid that he would be retributioned in the next life, so he begged to give birth to a big animal. The king of Hades sentenced him to be a big dog, and Xing Tang to be a small dog.

Big dogs are born in a market.

One day, the big dog was lying on the street, and a visitor from the south was leading a golden retriever, the size of a fox. The big dog took a closer look, and it was Xing Yutang. I despised it in my heart and bit it. Unexpectedly, the puppy bit the throat of the big dog and hung under the big dog's neck, like a bell. The big dog howled and rolled and fluttered, and the people in the market couldn't break it down, and after a while, both dogs died, and another went to the Yin Division to file a lawsuit, each with its own reasoning. Hades said, "When will it be settled for retribution like this, and now I will reconcile it for you." So he was sentenced to be the son-in-law of Hu in the afterlife of Tang.

After that, Hu was reincarnated as a human being. At the age of twenty-eight, she was promoted in the examination and gave birth to a daughter, who was very quiet and beautiful.

Everyone in the clan competed to propose, but Hu Mou did not agree.

Once he happened to pass by a neighboring county, just in time for the school envoy to announce the annual examination papers, a surname Li ranked first in the first-class papers, that is, Xing Yu Tang.

Hu invited Li Sheng to the hostel and entertained him hobbyly. inquired about his family situation and knew that he had not yet married, so he promised his daughter to him. People say that Hu loves talents, but they don't know that this is a marriage in a previous life.

Soon, Li Sheng married Hu's daughter, and the two had a good relationship. But Li Sheng often relies on his talent and treats his father-in-law slowly, and often does not come to his father-in-law's door for a year. Hu also endured.

Later, Li Sheng was frustrated in middle age and failed the exam repeatedly, and Hu did everything possible to help him, so that he could succeed in the scientific examination and get his wish. Since then, Weng's son-in-law has been as close as father and son.

"My story is finished, isn't it exciting, isn't it exciting?" said the old man in cloth with the book on his waist, turned his hands behind his back, and said with a smug face.

Tang Xuansong scratched his head and said, "When I was a child, my grandmother always told me a story similar to this three lives to put me to sleep......

"What do you mean, you mean that my story is to coax children? Hmph, since you don't like to hear Sansheng, there are many stories about Kao Chenghuang, Painting Wall, Painting Skin, Lu Judgment, Nie Xiaoqian, Ying Ning, Rakshasa Haishi, etc., you might as well listen to it. The old man in cloth was a little angry, blowing his beard and glaring.

"Come on, crazy old man, we've finished the story, we still have something to do, and we can't spend it with you. Sun Wukong stretched his waist, yawned, then raised his head, snapped his fingers, and jumped in the air, actually bringing the other four people up at the same time, flying into the sky, soaring through the clouds, and heading to the Rakshasa country.

After a few people left, an old man suddenly walked nearby. This old man was wearing a blue cloth robe, while the previous old man was wearing a white cloth robe.

The old man in white looked at the old man in Tsing Yi, smiled mysteriously, and said, "Old Wu, are they the people you are looking for?"

The old man in Tsing Yi, who was called Lao Wu, laughed loudly and said to the old man in white: "What is the person I am looking for, Lao Pu, are you talking nonsense?"

The white-clothed Lao Pu shook his head and said: "Don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, you and I are both storytellers, but what we tell are real stories." I've seen them many times in your books. ”

"You actually peeked at my books?" Old Wu in Tsing Yi stretched out his finger and pointed at Lao Pu in white, then nodded and smiled helplessly.
