1. "Changing into a Donkey to Repay Gratitude"

There was a monk in Shuilu Temple in Luoyang, whose name was Great Joy Master and he had a lot of money. He had a neighbor named Zhou who worked as an errand in a government office and his family was very poor. The police chief collected taxes and took advantage of them at every opportunity. Whenever the collection was submitted, he often had to borrow money from Monk Dalue to make up for the shortfall. Over the course of several years, I owed the monk seven taels of silver.

The monk knew that he could not repay, so he stopped asking him. Zhou was very grateful for this. When he met the monk, he always said: "I can't repay Master's Sidian while I'm alive. I will definitely repay him like a donkey and a horse when I die." Not long after, one night, the monk suddenly heard someone knocking on the nunnery in a hurry. He opened the door and asked who it was. A voice outside the door said: "The neighbor next door, Mr. Zhou, is here to repay his kindness to the Master.

A monk opened the door and saw no one at all. He thought someone was joking with him. But That night, a donkey raised by the monk gave birth to a calf. The next morning, he went to see his neighbor Zhou. Sure enough, the monk came to the donkey and carried the calf that had just given birth. He raised his head and crossed his legs again, as if he knew him.

Later, when the little donkey grew bigger, the monk used it as a mount and rode it for a year. One day, a guest from Shanxi stayed at Shuilu Temple. He liked the little donkey very much and asked to buy it. The monk refused, but he couldn't bear to explain the reason, so he said, "It's okay if you don't want to sell it. You just want to let me ride the little donkey to a certain place." Spend a night in the county, okay?" The monk agreed.

The Shanxi guest got on the donkey's back, held the bridle rope and said to the master with a smile: "I lied to you. Since I love this donkey, if I ride it away, I may not come back. I have already calculated the price and put the money to buy the donkey on your coffee table. You just go back to your room to get it. "

After saying that, the Shanxi guest hurried away without looking back. The monk could do nothing about it. When he returned to the room, he saw seven taels of silver on the coffee table, which happened to be the money Zhou owed the monk. The amount of money.

2. "Luxury is Guilty"

When Shen Yongzhi was in charge of Yunnan Post Road, he opened an eighty-mile road in Fenghuang Mountain on the order of Zhang Gong, the leader of Taiwan. The road leading to the Dai and Miao people is steep. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, there have been many strange and strange things happening here. It looks like a piece of white silk rising into the sky.

The toad is as big as a wheel. When it sees people, it stares fiercely at it, and anyone who faces it will faint and fall to the ground. The locals drank enough soju, stuffed their noses with realgar, chopped up the toads with a big ax, and then cooked them to eat.

Suddenly, they would not be hungry for three days. A beautiful woman with heavy makeup ran out of the cave. Thousands of workers came out of the cave to watch. Only some mature and steady people were not tempted and continued to work as before. After a while, Phoenix Mountain collapsed. Everyone who came out of the cave was crushed to death.

Shen Yongzhi said this when he saw people, and even joked: "It seems that people are not only lustful and innocent, but also very beneficial. This is the example.

3. "The Ghost in Tsing Yi"

There was a young man named Guan in Suzhou. Because his neighbor's daughter-in-law was beautiful, he tried every possible means to see her. One day, he peeked on the wall again and saw the wife winding silk under the eaves, her eyebrows furrowed, tears streaming down her face, and her face full of sadness. Her mother-in-law was nagging her in the house, although she sympathized with her daughter-in-law and hated her mother-in-law.

At this moment, a woman in green clothes came out of the side door of the hall. With a smile on her face, she walked straight into the Buddhist hall and bowed to the Buddha. Whether she was bowing down or standing up, her body was straight. Rough, like a zombie. Guan was shocked when he saw this, knowing that she was not alive. Observe more carefully.

After the woman prayed to the Buddha, she turned around and went to the eaves, made a circle shape with both hands to her daughter-in-law, and repeatedly pointed to the direction of the toilet with her hands. The daughter-in-law stopped winding the silk, as if thinking about something. Then she burst into tears and quickly got up and went to the toilet.

The low wall is only shoulder-height. Looking down from a high place, you can see everything clearly. After the daughter-in-law entered the toilet, she untied the foot-binding cloth and tied it to the beam. The woman in green clothes appeared around her again, feeling very proud. Although she knew that her daughter-in-law was seeking death, she couldn't help shouting: "Help!" and jumped over the wall.

When the neighbors heard the cry for help, they all came to inquire. Guan led everyone into the toilet and saw that his daughter-in-law had hanged herself. Everyone scrambled to rescue her, and she soon regained consciousness. Looking at the woman in green, she was gone. The daughter-in-law's mother-in-law was also shocked and stopped nagging.

After a while, the daughter-in-law's husband came home, and everyone told him what had happened. He was surprised and moved, and was very grateful to Guan.

He asked: "How come Brother Guan knows all about this strange thing?" Guan Gu made an excuse and said: "I went to the roof to pull weeds by chance and happened to see this." Everyone sighed. "As the saying goes, 'One's life is at stake.' It is fate that Madam Guan survived the catastrophe. Just when Guan Jun was pulling weeds.

It must have been the gods and Buddhas who sent him to rescue her." The husband asked. I rewarded Guan with gifts and gifts, but Guan refused and returned home. From then on, he put away his evil thoughts and stopped doing that kind of "watching from the wall" thing.

4. "Strange Dog"

The year before a certain young man became a marquis, he was only seventeen years old. He was handsome and had a hobby of fighting cocks and running dogs. He once raised a yellow dog and loved it so much that he ate and slept with it. In the summer, the young master took the dog out of the east gate of the city and visited the wilderness in the outer suburbs. Suddenly it started to rain heavily, and he took shelter in front of a tomb door. There is a pond in front of the tomb, covering an area of ??about several acres and covered with reeds.

Before a certain young master could sit down, three more scoundrels arrived here with falcons and bows and arrows on their backs. When they saw the young master, they whispered something quietly. The young master has a fair complexion. One rogue made up a rhyme: "The black ones are as black as iron, the red ones are as red as blood, and the white ones are as white as snow." The other two rogues laughed maliciously from the sidelines.

Although the young master is young, he is a member of a well-established family, and he is weak. Faced with this situation, he is frightened and wants to leave in the rain. The scoundrel grabbed him hard, and the young master asked in confusion: "What do you want to do?" The scoundrel laughed and did not answer, but just held him and refused to let him go. The yellow dog howled loudly and came to bite them. The scoundrel threw big rocks at it. , hitting it right on the head, knocking the dog unconscious.

So the scoundrel stripped the young man naked, tied his hands and feet, and pressed him into the grass to ejaculate. The young master cried and refused, his voice became hoarse, and he rolled on the ground. At this moment, several riders on horseback came from the woods, and the scoundrels fled in haste. The horseman came closer and felt surprised. He loosened the young master's bonds and asked why. Young Master Fu curled up and cried and told what had happened.

The riders sympathized with his plight, dressed him and sent him home. The dog reluctantly followed him home. After not eating for several days, his wounds developed and he died. The prince wept sadly, buried it in the garden, prayed for it and paid homage to it, as if a good friend had died. That night, I dreamed that the dog spoke human language and said to the young master: "Master treats me with deep affection, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

Master must be careful when going out in the future. If I encounter danger, I will accept your kindness in raising me. I will definitely come to rescue you." After the young master woke up, he felt strange and wrote these words down. One day, the young master was on business in Tongzhou. When I came back, I took a boat on the Datong River and met the three scoundrels from before, plus two young men. They were sitting on the boat hand in hand, and they all looked at the young master and smiled.

The young master was very scared. The boat could not be anchored at the lock, and the people on the boat were all separated. The young master sneaked into the restaurant and quietly watched the three scoundrels go away, and then hurried back via a small road. After walking for more than a mile, I suddenly saw three scoundrels rushing out of the sorghum field. They took the young master into a remote place, covered his mouth, and stripped him naked.

One of the scoundrels was about to strike when suddenly a big dog sprang out from the collapsed wall and bit the scoundrel. The scoundrel fell to the ground in pain, and the dog chased the other two men. One was bitten on the calf, and the other was bitten on the buttocks. The young master finally escaped from danger, put on his clothes and ran across the farmland.

After the dog came back, it followed the young master and barked until it reached a hut, where it fell down under the fence. Looking closer, it turned out to be a yellow dog suffering from a serious disease. The young master felt puzzled. An old woman was sweeping wheat on the ground. She looked at the young master and said with a smile, "This is my old dog. She was ill for half a year and died last night. Don't you think it's dirty if you get close to it and look at it?" The young master responded casually and happily. And back.

That night, I dreamed about the yellow dog I had raised. "I have repaid my master's kindness in raising me. The underworld will let me be reincarnated as a human being after seeing that I am loyal and repaying my kindness. I came here to say goodbye to my master, and I will never see you again."

After saying that, he cried bitterly and kowtowed. Leave. The young master was moved by the dog's profound sense of justice. He calculated the date of the dog's death and set up a sacrifice at its burial place every seven days, which remains unchanged to this day. Later I heard that two of the three scoundrels were disabled, and the one who was bitten died the day after the injury.

5. "Luo Piao"

The sea water flows into Penghu Bay, and the water gradually becomes lower. It is close to Ryukyu Island and is called "Luo Piao", which means that the sea water falls deep into the seabed. There will be no more backflow in the depression.

If a ship sails below Penghu Bay and encounters a hurricane and drifts into a deep depression on the seabed, only one percent will be able to come back. Because there are rapids in the sea water and the sea water is used as a cliff to form a huge whirlpool. It is really a spectacle!

A group of Fujian people went to Taiwan by boat and accidentally fell into the water in the blink of an eye. I don’t know how many thousands of miles I have traveled. Dozens of people in the boat all thought they were doomed this time, so they just stared in panic and let the boat drift.

After a long time, a loud noise was suddenly heard, the boat stopped instantly, and everyone on the boat fell to the ground. Everyone didn't know what happened, so they slowly went out of the cabin to take a look, only to find out that they were near a desert island. The boat was pushed by the rapids in the sea and went straight to the beach, so it ran aground.

Everyone told each other, cheered and rejoiced together. The sand and gravel on the shore are pure gold, and there are many strange birds in different shapes. They don't fly away when they see people. When people were hungry, they would eat strange birds, just like eating goose meat, which tasted particularly delicious. At night, the ghosts surrounding the boat were all ghosts, chirping and chirping. They disappeared only at dawn, and were the same as before at night.

After living there for half a year, people gradually became familiar with the ghosts and could even talk to them. The ghost then said: "This place is thousands of miles away from China. We were in trouble before, and our bodies drifted here. It was far away from home, and there was no way to reach our dreams. But we have lived here for a long time, and we know the laws of ocean tides very well. About every day In thirty years, the ship has been cleared once. Now it is only a matter of seconds, and it will be cleared in a month or two.

You may be able to repair the ship alive. Everyone is very grateful for this advice. Someone asked: "What kind of bird is the goose-like bird we eat?" The ghost replied: "This is not a bird, but also a ghost. After a long time here, the energy is worn away, and it becomes what it is now. Looks like it. "Everyone sighed for them. So they each picked up their axes and repaired the broken boat all night.

As soon as the boat was repaired, the raft was indeed full and not separated from the sea water. With thunderous cheers, everyone pushed the boat into the water. The sails were hoisted and ready to set off. A group of ghosts gathered together and cried to see them off. They also competed to give them the gold sand on the shore, and warned: "Don't forget us when you go back. I hope you can tell the fellow villagers to perform Buddhist rituals and save us." "Everyone rushed to agree.

The boat sailed through the waves and sailed for two days and one night to arrive at Kinmen, Fujian Province. Everyone missed the ghosts' affection and pitied their depravity, so they jointly funded the construction of land and water dojos, visited their homes, and provided relief. He appeased his family and divided the remaining gold. Each of them had tens of thousands of assets and became a rich man.

There is a Feng Shui master in Zhuo County, Hebei Province (hereinafter referred to as Mr. A), who is good at magic. If someone dies in a wealthy family, they must spend a lot of money to invite him and give him a banquet, so that they can be safe, otherwise something bad will happen.

There was a rich man in a certain village, and two of them. The sons were both studying in the martial arts school. The rich man died of old age and illness. Relatives said that Mr. A had magic powers and they must invite him to bury the rich man’s body in the coffin. This was mainly to avoid disaster for the living people in the family. , not just praying for God’s blessings on behalf of the deceased.
