01Before Bailu Festival, he will die in a sudden disaster.
There was once a young man whose family was extremely poor and often put them in a pot for a few days without rice.
That year, he was going to Beijing to take the exam, but a fortune teller on the street who had a very accurate reasoning and fortune telling told him that before the Bailu Festival, he would die of a sudden disaster.
At that time, the boy was very sad and thought that he could change himself by passing the exam.destiny，Unexpectedly, the end of fate is coming so soon.
Because of what the fortune teller said, he planned to give up taking the exam and try his best to serve his parents in his last days.
There was a Wang Sheng, who was rich and loyal in his family, got along well with this young man, and tried his best to persuade him to go with him, and said, "The fortune teller's words are not enough to believe.If you are worried that there is no travel fee, I will bear it!"
The Wang Sheng took out ten gold and gave it to the boy and said, "This is for home settlement, and I will do the luggage used on the road, etc.! Brother, don't worry!" The boy was grateful for his generosity and decided to go there together.
02Life and death are not enough to turn the world back without great virtue.
Come to Jinling (Jiangning Prefecture )，They heard that there was a courtier in Cheng'en Temple who talked about good and bad luck and good fortune. They were always surprisingly accurate. The people who came to see the court were crowded like a bustling city.
The boy went to see the photos with six classmates who lived in the same hotel.
The subject scholar looked at the six of them and told him who was the student of the statutory school, who was the student of the statutory school, who was the student of the statutory school, who was both parents, and who both died. He said it clearly in a slight way.
The fortune teller said that one of them passed the deputy list in this scientific examination, and no one else won.
When it was the turn of a teenager, he first asked where his county he lived and how far he was from, and then he calculated his fingers and said, "Go back quickly, it's still time!"
Everyone was puzzled and asked the accuser why.He said, "Your face is withered, your spirit is weak, and there are dark patterns in the heavenly court. According to the law, you will die in the next five days.You should go home quickly, but according to your own opinions, you should die on the road.Even if you set off right away, it might be too late.”
Wang Sheng and everyone were shocked and said, "Please check carefully again, is there any way to rescue me?"”
The monk said: "If life and death are large, if there is no great virtue, it is not enough to turn the world back.Now the date is imminent, what can I do? If from now on, six days later, if this gentleman is still alive, I will never talk to others about faces!”
Everyone was silent all the way back to their residence.The young man said to Wang Sheng: "My brother tried his best to persuade me to come.What the accuser said today is exactly the same as the fortune teller said in the past, and it must be fulfilled.There will be death in life, but I am not afraid of death.But dying here will cause you a lot.It’s better to rush back immediately and have hope of dying at home.”
Wang Sheng had pity for him.He hired a boat for him, gave him travel expenses, and gave him another ten gold, saying, "Leave this for emergency use.”
The boy knew his intention and thanked him with a smile and said, "This is the funeral expenses given to me by my brother, and I dare not refuse.If I know when I die, I will beg my brother Gao Jie to thank you for your friendship!" So I bid farewell to everyone and board the ship.
03Suffering five people with kindness
After walking on the Yangtze River for more than ten miles, the boatman tied the boat to the shore and stood there.
Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and the wind became stronger. The boy thought that the five-day deadline was almost over and the boat could not leave. The prophecy of "death of the way" seemed to be fulfilled.
At this moment, he was determined to die, and his worries were empty, but he was suffering from loneliness and boredom and could not be relieved, so he went ashore and walked around alone.Suddenly I saw a middle-aged pregnant woman with three young children, holding one with her left hand and pulling one with her right hand, and following her, crying while walking. She was very sad and passed by the boy.
Having walked a few steps, the boy suddenly thought, "The river bank is empty and there are no households around, where is she going? The situation is very suspicious.”
He hurriedly asked the woman what difficulties she had, but the woman ignored her.
The boy asked anxiously: "If you are in a hurry, please tell me, maybe you can help me!"
The woman had no choice but to say, "I unfortunately married a butcher. I was violent in nature and was often beaten and scolded, and I was completely useless.Today he went to the market and had two pigs at home. Before leaving, he told me that he wanted to sell ten gold.Later, someone came to buy it, and it turned out that I got ten gold. I was afraid it was fake silver, so I went to the silver shop with him to check the estimate. The quality was right.When he got home, the man suddenly thought the price was high and took the money back.After a while, I came back and wanted to buy pigs with the original silver.Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the money, I had no doubts and handed the pig over to him.The neighbor from the west came to my house. When he saw the silver, he was surprised and said it was copper. I hurriedly chased him out to find the buyer, but there was no one left.I quickly went to the silver shop to check it out and said it was copper. I walked several stores in a row, and they all said it was copper.I thought to myself that after being deceived, my husband would be beaten to death when he came back.Anyway, it is better to die in the water than to die under the whip.I have all the three children, and the mother and son die together, so as not to let them suffer the humiliation of the evil father.”
The boy felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. He wanted to pass the silver and saw that it was indeed copper.
At this time, the silver that Wang Sheng gave was just in his sleeve, thinking that he was almost dead, what's the use of asking for this money?He quietly changed the silver in his sleeve and said to the woman, "You almost made a big mistake! This is real silver, why is it copper!"
The woman said angrily: "Several silver shops say it's copper, why do you want to coax me!"
The boy said, "No! Those silver shops bully you are a woman! You go with me, and they dare not say that.It's really copper, it's not too late to die again!"
After hearing his words, the woman walked three or four miles together before she arrived at a silver shop and handed over the money to verify, saying that it was real silver.Then I went to several more stores, all of which said it was silver.The woman was overjoyed and said, "Fortunately, I met Mr. I would have made almost a big mistake!" She took the money and thanked her.
04 Accumulating good deeds, the emperor changed his fortune to his fortune
The young man rushed back immediately, but it was dusk and had to squat on the eaves of the ruined temple for a night.He thought to himself, the night is empty and there is no trace of anyone. If there are fox spirits and wild ghosts coming to eat, it should be my death!
After running all day, I was extremely tired, and after sitting down, I fell asleep deeply.In the hazy, I heard the shouts of yamen runners.The young man stretched out his head and saw that the hall was brightly lit and the attendants stood bravely. There was a man who looked like a king in the middle, sitting behind the hall, as if he was Guandi.
Emperor Guan said: "Today, one person saved five lives by the river. We should find out this person and give us blessings.”
At this moment, a purple-clothed official, holding a document book, reported to him: "I just received the land god's declaration, and I am a scholar in a certain county."The Emperor ordered the Lu Ji Book to check again to see if he won the autumn list this time.There was a wardrobe embroidered official holding a book of papers in his hand and said, "This man's official position and life have been exhausted.At midnight tonight, he was crushed to death by the wall under the temple corridor.”
The Emperor said, "If this is the case, how can we persuade people to do good?! We should change the credit card.Yesterday, I received a notice from Wenchang Palace that a Jiangnan Jieyuan was removed from the list for being a lewd maid in this autumn examination, so I asked this person to fill the gap.”
Someone said, "His money was given to Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng was despised by wealth and righteousness, which made this person achieve good results.By tracing the origin, Wang Sheng should also be named Lu Ji.”
The Emperor said, "Okay!"
The embroidered official came forward to ask for instructions: "The 53rd place in this examination is the case, and one subject will be suspended for the crime.Wenchang Palace has not yet decided who will replace it.Please tell me if Wang Sheng will replace him?”
The emperor said, "Yes!"
The boy was listening to the answers in the hall attentively. Suddenly someone shouted in his ears: "Get out! Come out!" He woke up in shock, his body was still curled up under the eaves of the temple. It was pitch black all around, and he could not see anything. He heard the soil on the wall falling down. He quickly got up, stumbled out in the darkness. As soon as he walked a few steps, the wall fell down with a bang, pressing down where he was sitting.So I had to stand there and wait for dawn.
After dawn, I went to the hall to pay homage. It was indeed the Guandi Temple.After dressing up and worshiping, he turned around and walked out of the temple courtyard and found a way back to the boat.Meditation on what God said in my heart will definitely come true.So I discussed with the boatman to return to Jinling.
05 A squid face (Yin De Fu )，In today's exam, I will definitely win the top list!
Sailing along the way, it will be here soon.Everyone was surprised when the boy came to the inn.The boy only said that the wind was blocked and he could not move forward. He also thought that the five-day period had passed, so he came back.
Recalling what the accuser said, the teenagers surrounded him and went to find him.
The monk was talking to someone else. When he looked up and saw the boy, he was surprised and said, "Aren't you the one I said to be dead within five days?!"
Everyone replied in unison: "Yes! It's been seven days today, how about it!"
The olympian said, “Now will not die.After not seeing each other for a few days, his bones were very different from each other, and his complexion improved all of a sudden.The gentleman must have done extraordinary great good deeds and saved several lives, so that he could save the power of fortune.”
The boy smiled and said, "Mr.'s words are really irrelevant! I am so poor that I have the power to save people!"
The monk said, "Sir, don't lie to me! I have said before that without great virtue, you cannot turn the world back.Today you're covered in vain (Yin De Fu )，In today's exam, I will definitely be the top ranking! Next year, I will be the Hanlin leader and will be the first rank, and my life span will increase to 80!"
He smiled and said, "This is not accidental! I took a photo for a scholar half a month ago. His eyebrows were extremely bright and bright, and it must be the Jie Yuan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.Yesterday he looked at the photo again, but there were striking needles on his forehead. (That is, the broken pattern )，If he loses his former glory, he will definitely have great hidden thoughts (Shameful evil things )，Lu Ji was stripped of it.Unexpectedly, you were the one who replaced him.”
He pointed at Wang Sheng and said, "There is also a silence on his face, and he will definitely pass the exam with this gentleman.”
Wang Sheng smiled and said, "I don't know how my friend is.As for me, where did I do any good deeds!"
The minister said, "It is because of doing nothing that is called Yin Zhu!" Everyone rushed up and mocked the minister for seeking scammers to avoid excuses.
The young man smiled and said, "Speak nonsense! Why do you have to be serious? Why don't you go back!"
When he returned to the inn, the young man quietly said to Wang Sheng: "That man is really a god.His words are true! Brother should be ranked 53rd!"
The young man told him the whole story and said, "If there was no gold given to me by my brother, I could only watch others die! Fortunately, I am blessed by God today, it is all my kindness!"
Wang Sheng said in surprise: "Your brother has such a large number! If you really want to do this, I should thank you! That osman is so magical!"
This year, the boy really learned about Yuan, and Wang Sheng passed the exam.The next year, the two joined Hanlin together.
