Chapter 118: Lord Stove

After hearing this, King Yefeng laughed happily and said: "Haha! Baby lady, don't be angry with this king, tonight's good night is a big day for the two of us, of course this king wants to make you happy." I'll tell you another story called: The Lord of the Stove.

This little story is even more interesting, legend has it that a long, long time ago, every year on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the heavenly realm would send down a stove prince to the earth, let him come to the world to visit the people.

Every year, after the people of the human world gradually learned about this incident, on the 24th day of the lunar month, they were all ready: every household used rice flour with brown sugar or white sugar, wrapped together and baked into a sugar cake in an iron pot, and placed on the stove in the kitchen.

Not only that, but also offered some wine and so on, and enthusiastically offered it to the stove prince. I want this stove prince to be sympathetic to the people's feelings, say good things to the heavens, and keep the lower world safe!

Let's say that this stove prince is the same no matter where he goes, every family is the same, all of them have food and drink, so that the stove prince is very happy.

Every time he returned to the Heavenly Realm to report to the Jade Emperor, he always said good things about the Human Realm. For example, everyone in the human world is kind, everyone believes in Buddhism and is good, and every year during the Spring Festival, every household will burn incense and offer some whole pigs, chickens and ducks, etc., to worship the heavens and gods, and worship the gods and people in the heavenly realm, and so on.

The Jade Emperor was naturally overjoyed and laughed heartily when he heard this! But after a long time, year after year, the Jade Emperor gradually became suspicious of this stove prince, so he asked a little boy to follow the stove prince to visit the human world.

In this way, because the people of the human world did not know the reason, they still offered a piece of sugar cake to the king of the stove as usual, and the poor boy could only go hungry empty-handed.

Although this is the case, but this stove prince is still very happy in his heart? He said in his heart: I was alone in previous years, and you, a little boy, were sent by the Jade Emperor, it is none of my business to be hungry, I deserve to die of hunger--- it is better to die, who told you to follow me for what?

It was like this in every house, but the poor little boy was hungry all day from morning till night, and there was no family offering two sugar cakes.

He had no choice but to endure hunger, and there was nowhere to cry out for grievances--- but he said that there was a poor family named Wang San.

Although this Wang San's family is poor, he has no parents and no wife, and he is a bare-bones commander. But he was loyal and kind-hearted, and when he saw that there was a little boy beside the Lord of the Stove, he offered two sugar cakes.

In this way, the little boy will also eat a piece of sugar cake. Therefore, this little boy also regarded Wang San as his savior, and always wanted to find an opportunity to repay him.

In one year, all the crops were destroyed, and the harvest could only be harvested by planting grain. After that little boy heard the news from the Jade Emperor, he gave a dream to that Wang San at night, asking his family's two acres of thin fields to be replanted with millet, and if he planted other crops, would it be miserable?

When Wang San woke up, he felt skeptical, but he still preferred to believe what he had rather than believe that he didn't? Insist on doing what the little boy said: planting all the two acres of thin fields in his house with millet.

The rest of the families did the same as in previous years: what to plant and what to plant, but all the crops were washed away by the rain, and it was a great famine year, and the crops were not harvested.

The three families of this poor ghost king had a bumper harvest, and he harvested many catties of grain at once. The Jade Emperor was angry when he found out, and he wanted that Wang San to be as unlucky as others before he would give up.

In order to punish that Wang San, he actually issued an order to Lord Yama in the underworld, and asked Lord Yama to find a way: punish that Wang San.

Let's say that after Lord Yama received the holy decree, he asked the two little ghosts to go to the lesion room to carry a disease to Wang Sanxing: I wanted him to get sick and sell the millet to cure the disease, and when the millet was sold out, the disease would be cured. Besides, after the kind-hearted boy knew about this, he went to the dream to the third king that night, and told the third king to hide and take refuge?

After this Wang San woke up from a dream, he took some dry food and hid in a cave that no one knew. The heart said: I hid in this cave where the bird doesn't, and no one will know!

But he said that the two little ghosts that Lord Yama asked to carry the sick were both good ghosts with good hearts and kindness. After these two ghosts received the holy decree, they went to the sick room to carry a sick disaster, and then discussed together: "Brother Li, I, Zhang San, and that poor ghost Wang San, have no grievances and no hatred, why do I have to harm others?"

As soon as the words fell, I saw that the little ghost named Li also said: "Yes---- yes, Brother Zhang San, what you said is so right, this is not easy to be a man, and it is not easy to be a ghost?

In my opinion, why don't we find a cave and throw this plague into the cave and pull it down? Anyway, people don't know about ghosts, no one knows, so the two of us might as well go back and pay attention to Lord Yama. ”

After hearing this, Zhang San said happily: "Good idea, let's do it." After the two ghosts finished speaking, they found a cave that was very secret, sparsely populated, and birds didn't, and then threw the disease into the cave, ready to go back to pay to Lord Yama. ”

Let's say that just as the two little ghosts were about to leave, they suddenly heard the third king in the cave shouting: "Ouch---- I have a headache, it hurts me to death!"

The second ghost immediately looked into the cave, and suddenly saw the poor ghost Wang San holding his head in his hands, crying out in pain and having a headache.

Le's second ghost laughed and said: "Haha! This is really called: is it a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided!"

After listening to the report of Zhang Sanli and Si'er, the Lord of Yama praised and said: "You two ghosts are doing the right thing today, this is the same as being a person and a ghost: everything has to talk about kindness, kindness, and kindness!"

After King Yefeng finished speaking, Yaqing said happily: "O king.... King..... You've got a good story, but I wonder what else you're going to tell you?"
