It is said that after the Yunhu Daoist left the temple, he went straight to the direction of Zhongqi Mountain.

After several months, the Cloud Fox Daoist finally stepped into the territory of Zhongqi Mountain, without making any stops, preparing to walk towards the depths of Zhongqi Mountain in one go.

On this day, the Yunhu Dao people passed by a village called Lanshixi at the foot of Zhongqi Mountain, and felt very strange.

Yunhu Dao people saw that this village was very large, and it was about to catch up with the ordinary town, and the houses were also very delicate and neatly arranged. On the whole, the houses are scattered and quite imposing, and it looks like a village with a thriving population and a prosperous life.

It's just that when the Yunhu Dao people passed through the road in the middle of this village, they found that the population of this village was extremely sparse, and most of them were elderly people and a few children. This is very incongruous compared to the size of the houses in this village.

Yunhu Daoist felt strange, so he walked to the door of a family, ready to ask this family about the situation in the village, and begged for a glass of water by the way.

Yunhu Daoist entered the yard through the hidden gate, only to see a white-haired grandmother struggling to pull the rope with a bucket from the well by a well, and a two- or three-year-old child next to him stretched out two small hands very obediently and grabbed the rope leading to the well with the grandmother, and pulled it up hard.

The Yunhu Daoist hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man pull the bucket full of water up from the well.

"Old man, you and your grandson will rest for a while, and I will help you fill the water tank. After speaking, Yunhu Daoist helped Grandma to a chair next to her and sat down, and then helped Grandma fetch water.

Grandma sat on a chair, holding the child in her hand and said to Yunhu Daoren: "What a good person!"

After a while, Yunhu Daoist filled the water tank with water, then took a chair, sat opposite Grandma, and said to Grandma with a smile: "Old man, you are so old and have a grandson, your children." ”

"Oh! that's a long way to say. The old man said with a sigh.

"It's okay old man, you speak slowly, I'll just listen. Yunhu Daoren said to Grandma.

"In the past, our village was a well-known and wealthy village in this area, with prey in the mountains and grain in the fields. Because the village is close to the mountains, most of the people will hunt, plus the harvest in the field is good, even if the harvest is out in a year or two, no one in the village will be hungry because of lack of food, so the girls in the nearby ten miles and eight towns are also proud to marry into our village. In this way, the population of the village gradually increased, and later it became the size it has today. Ah!" said the old man, shaking his head and pausing.

"Old man, according to what you said, your village should be prosperous, why didn't I even see a young man when I walked all the way from the village just now? Cloud Fox Daoist asked deliberately.

"Young man, my aunt sees that you are good, handsome and handsome, don't ask so much, hurry up and leave this place to find a girl outside to live a good life." Grandma said to the Cloud Fox Daoist.

"Old man, I came here from the outside, and I want to go to the Zhongqi Mountain to find a relative. He was a hunter who had been hunting in the mountains for some days and had not returned home until now, and his family was very worried, so they asked me to come into the mountains to look for this man. Can the old man tell me if there is anything dangerous in this mountain, or you won't let me leave this place quickly. Yunhu Daoist said to the old man.

"That's right, young man. Then you have to listen to the words of the eldest mother, go back quickly, the eldest mother estimates that you are a relative, and eighty percent of them have been killed and can't go back. Grandma said to the Cloud Fox Daoist.

"Why do you say that?" asked the Cloud Fox Daoist.

"In the early years, there was a time in our village where the male protagonists of several families met to go hunting in this Zhongqi Mountain, including my son, and later, only a young man covered in wounds and blood came back alive. According to him, he was the only one who escaped alive of all the people they went there that time, and the rest were all eaten by a huge black blind man. Grandma said to the Cloud Fox Daoist.

"Then that young man is still in the village?" asked the Cloud Fox Daoren.

"It's long gone. The lad went not long after he returned. It is said that the reason why he was able to escape alive was because he was in a hurry at that time, so he ran to the side alone, and when he turned back to look for others after he was done, he saw a white fog appearing in the place where he had just stayed. At that time, he was wondering why there was no fog anywhere else when he heard screams coming from the fog. The young man was frightened at the time, but after all, he was young and curious, and although he had never seen such a strange thing, he also knew the danger, so he found a rock and hid behind it. Grandma said, and tears began to fall.

When the fog cleared, the young man saw only a huge black blind man, and the others were gone. The young man lay alone behind the rock, motionless, and did not dare to come out, until he saw the black blind man leave for a long time, and he dared to run to the place where the black blind man had just appeared. It didn't matter, except for a few blood stains on the ground, only a few pieces of broken clothing remained. The young man was so frightened that he ran all the way back to his house, and he didn't know how many falls and thorns he had crossed on the way, just to tell the people in the village what had happened to them, so that the people in the village would not go to the mountains again......" Grandma said to the Yunhu Daoist and couldn't help crying.

"Grandma, don't be sad, everything will pass. Thank you for telling me this, I still have something to do, so I won't bother you. After speaking, Yunhu Daoist stood up, took out some money from his arms and handed it to Grandma, and said to Grandma: "Old man, it is not easy for you to live alone with your grandson, this money is a little bit of my heart, please accept it." ”

"What a good man, since my son left...... You still listen to the aunt's words and don't go to the mountains......" Grandma said kindly to Yunhu Daoren while shedding tears.

In fact, the people of Yunhu Dao had already made up their minds at this time to go out to the end of the Qi Mountain to remove this scourge for the people of the nearby ten miles and eight towns.

After comforting Grandma for a while, Yunhu Daoist took out all his already small amount of money and left it for Grandma, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, and walked towards the depths of Zhongqi Mountain......

"There are clouds in Buddhism: God has the virtue of a good life...... Punish evil and promote good, and punish evil is to promote good......" Yunhu Daoist thought about what to do in his heart as he walked......
