Let's talk about this day. On the path in front of a hillside of Wuzhong Mountain came a man carrying eight ropes. The person who is said to pick eight ropes in Wu end is actually the salesman. At that time, the income of peddlers was not as high as that of farmers, so they were unable to make a living.
The man carrying the eight ropes saw three people resting under a tree in front of the hillside. He recognized that they were the three immortals, and went forward to enjoy the shade and chat together. During this period, the man who was picking up eight ropes asked Wu Zhong San Jue, "Little Pu Er, the three masters have great magic power. Can you show me how many acres I can buy when I am tired from running around every day?" Are you going to be an honest farmer?"
The short young man among the Three Jue smiled and said: "Your requirements are not high. Although people's fate is destined, it is not as perfect as the legend says. Sometimes, the same opportunity, the character of a person Different people have different ways of doing things, and naturally there will be different results. This is called having the same person but different destiny."
The salesman immediately asked with surprise on his face: "According to the master's words, I still have hope of luck?" The short young man smiled and said: "There is no big chance of change. It is better than now. I don't have to worry about food and drink. It's no problem." The salesman quickly raised his hand and said, "Please give me some advice, I'm sure you won't forget it!" The short young man shrugged and said with a smile, "I'm willing to praise you, but I'm afraid that you won't listen to me in the future and will destroy your future."
The salesman hurriedly kowtowed and said, "This little man has no chance to succeed. The master has promoted you, and I will never forget it! Please feel free to tell me!" The short young man then said, "I want to promote you to be a government servant. This is an ordinary job." But you have some living money, so you don’t have to worry about food and drink. But you must remember not to go overboard. If you blindly focus on money, you will destroy your future. Don’t blame me for not warning you in advance. "
The salesman kowtowed repeatedly, and the short young man looked back at the young man with the sword behind him: "Then I have to ask Master to do some work." The young man with the sword behind his back smiled helplessly and said, "You can come over here. That's it... "As he spoke, he tapped the salesman's forehead with his hand, as if he was reciting something silently.
A few days later, in the Zunhua territory to the north of Wu Zhong. A salesman walked up a mountain road, it was Pu Er. Pu Er saw that it was getting late, and he felt thirsty. He looked around and saw a light on the hillside in front of him. When he got closer, he saw that it was a thatched hut. Pu Er stepped forward and knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone there? Little man Pu Er, From now on, when I pass by, my mouth is thirsty and I look for a bowl of water to drink." The door slowly opened, and a voice said: "Brother, please come in!"
Pu Er drank half a scoop of cold water. After putting down the ladle, I saw that the person who opened the door was a man dressed as a scholar, and inside the room was a young woman, also well-dressed. Seeing the common people who didn't look like ordinary people, he clasped his fists and said, "My lord, you're so handsome, how come you don't look like ordinary people living in such a remote mountain?"
When the scholar heard this, his eyes filled with tears and he said: "To be honest with you, I am a lonely ghost! Don't be afraid, I came from a scholarly family and we will not harm others."
After talking with each other, we found out that the young man's surname was Qin and the woman's surname was He. The two are family friends and have been married since they were childhood sweethearts. Later, Miss He's father passed the imperial examination and became an official in high school, and the family moved to his post. However, Master Qin's father's name was lost in Sun Shan, and the two parted ways. They were both young when they parted. Later, Mr. Qin's father took several scientific examinations, but his name failed in all of them, and he was not even admitted to the imperial examination. He could only place his hopes on Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin was quite successful and passed the provincial examination. He then bid farewell to his parents and went to Beijing to take the Spring Wei Examination.
Hungry and thirsty all the way, we stayed overnight at dawn and saw that we were only two or three hundred miles away from the capital. Young Master Qin was happy and in sight of victory, so he stayed in an inn at night. Inns in the mountains are not like prosperous places. They usually only have a few rooms and a big bed. Several guests in the same room were gambling at night. Mr. Qin was only thinking about the scientific examination and did not care about sleeping alone.
We set off early the next day and walked all the way until the sun set in the west. We were not far from the city. But at this moment, a group of robbers came out of the woods, put a knife on Mr. Qin's neck, and ordered Mr. Qin to hand over the money. Mr. Qin was a first-year scholar. He had never seen such a battle, so he was so frightened that he handed over his baggage.
The robbers found a few taels of silver from the package, and searched Master Qin's whole body. They found nothing valuable and cursed him for being unlucky. At this time, a robber accidentally dropped the black cloth covering his face. Mr. Qin recognized him as the gambler who lived in the same room at the previous inn! When the bandit saw that he was exposed, he killed Master Qin, dug up a new grave beside the road, and buried Master Qin hastily in it! Little did he know that this new tomb was the tomb of Miss He, Mr. Qin’s childhood sweetheart!
It turns out that Ms. He's father, Mr. He, has only had Miss He as an only daughter for many years, and he is always a little unwilling in his heart! Later, my wife died of illness, so I had a second wife. The later lady was unruly by nature and disliked Miss He. In addition, she gave birth to a son, so she often encouraged Mr. He to marry Miss He to someone else.
But the young lady firmly opposed it. Mr. He also felt that as an official, the young lady was already engaged. Not to mention that you should not regret the marriage without permission because you dislike the poor and love the rich. The young lady often made things difficult and beat the young lady, and the young lady lived like a year. She was looking forward to Qin Sheng's early marriage, but there was no news. She gradually became depressed and became ill, and died.
After Miss He died, since she was an orphan and could not enter the ancestral grave, Mr. He bought a cemetery in the suburbs and buried her. Unexpectedly, the bandits killed Mr. Qin and buried him in the lady's grave. The two were not together in life, but unexpectedly shared the same acupuncture point after death. The two miserable ghosts held their heads and cried loudly, determined to become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks and achieve a marriage during their lifetime. But unfortunately, both of them came from scholarly families and refused to have a casual relationship.
At this point, the two of them knelt down and begged Pu Er to marry the two dead souls. Pu Er said in embarrassment: "I have never presided over a marriage, and I don't know what to do!" Mr. Qin said: "This is easy. I will write a marriage letter immediately, write our names and yours, and you can choose an auspicious day to go to the City God's Temple. Burn it, buy us a new coffin, and bury the two of us together." After saying that, Miss He handed over two ingots of silver and said, "In addition to buying the coffin with incense candles, this is our reward for you!"
Pu Er immediately said that if he asked you two to spin the thread, he would definitely be able to do it!
The next day, Pu Er took the silver to the bank and exchanged it for copper coins, preparing to buy a coffin with incense candles. The shopkeeper of the bank took the money from Pu Er, looked at it, and said, "Sit down and drink tea. I'll go to the back to prepare the copper coins!" Pu Er drank tea, but didn't want to rush in with a few government servants, so he stepped forward and locked Pu Er. Take it and go. It turned out that the shopkeeper noticed that Pu Er was dressed as a salesman, but he was holding silver ingots. He suspected that he was a robber and immediately reported it to the police.
Lord He of the government was shocked when he saw the silver ingot. The silver ingot had his own character He cast on it, which was his own silver! Why did my silver fall into the hands of the salesman
He and his adults were confused and immediately went to court to hear the case. Pu Er recounted what happened to him all over again and presented the marriage certificate as proof. When Master He looked at it, he recognized his daughter's notes and burst into tears. Unexpectedly, my daughter did not sleep with her son-in-law during her lifetime, but unexpectedly died in the same bed! He immediately took someone to verify it, opened the lady's grave, and found two corpses!
Mr. He immediately went to the Chenghuang Temple with Pu Er, filled in his name on the marriage certificate, married Pu Er together, and then put his daughter and son-in-law into the same coffin and reburied them.
Later, Mr. He thanked Pu Er for being entrusted by the soul of his daughter and son-in-law and doing things sincerely, so he kept him by his side to take care of things.
After everything was done and he returned to the back hall, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Okay! Okay! The matter is not finished yet!" Mr. He followed the voice, and the three of them came uninvited. A tall and heroic man, a scholar with a sword on his back, and a short figure. Pu Er hurriedly told Mr. He: "These three are masters outside the world called Wu Jing San Jue, and they are well-known masters in Wu Jing. This time, they are the three guides. Only the young ones have the opportunity to meet the young lady and the uncle. That's right. Three mages cast spells, and the youngest one was able to communicate with ghosts without harming himself!"
After hearing this, Lord He hurriedly saluted: "I heard you have three unique skills in the end! We haven't been able to meet each other. I'm disrespectful! I'm disrespectful! I can't thank you enough for what you three have done for your son-in-law and daughter!" The three young men also clasped their fists. In return, the shortest young man among the three glanced sideways at Mr. He's little wife and said, "People in our profession are straight-talking, so please forgive me if I offend you! Mr. He is not strict with the inner house!" The lady was about to get angry when she heard the dwarf say: "Sooner or later, your love and your son-in-law will have an argument with the young lady in the Yama Palace. Why should you get angry now? Besides, monsters and monsters are not our opponents, so don't be dissatisfied with a woman." Ugly."
The lady was so frightened that she sat on the ground, her face turned ashen! The young man carrying the sword among the three people clasped his fists and said, "The three of us are here today. One is to remind Pu Er not to forget our instructions. The other is to remind Mr. He that the gambler in the inn that day was The murderer, sir, can be captured quickly and brought to justice to prevent the robber from harming others again!" After saying that, the three of them turned and left.
Mr. He immediately ordered the government officials to report the owner of the inn to the county government. The owner did not dare to hide it and truthfully confessed the names of the bandits. Mr. He sent out detectives to capture them one by one, interrogate and convict them. I won’t mention being executed for banditry here.
