In the Song Dynasty, a poor scholar was wrongfully stolen from his master's money bag, and the scholar could not prove his innocence, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into a well in one breath. Unexpectedly, Shusheng did not die after falling into the well, he also picked up a palm-sized copper mirror at the bottom of the well, and Shusheng saw the beautiful woman in the mirror waving to him, so he embarked on the peak of his life.
The story takes place in a place called Wenhua Academy outside Luoyang City, where there is a scholar named Zhao Junze, who is wearing only coarse cloth clothes because of his family's poverty, and he looks very shabby and depressed in front of a group of well-dressed peers, and he is also in trouble.
On this day, when the master came to class with a money bag, when the class came, he found that the money bag was lost, and everyone looked for it, but found the master's money bag where Zhao Junze was sitting, and people said that Zhao Junze stole the master's money bag. No matter how Zhao Junze defended himself, no one was willing to believe him, he could not prove his innocence, and he committed suicide by jumping into a well in one breath.
Zhao Junze thought that he was bound to die, but he did not expect that after he jumped into the well, he could breathe freely under the well, and he also saw a sparkling thing at the bottom of the well, which seemed to have a magic power, guiding Zhao Junze to keep getting closer.
Zhao Junze picked up the sparkling thing and found that it was a copper mirror the size of a palm, and the copper mirror did not know how long it had been soaked in the water, it still looked like a new one, and there was no trace of erosion by the water on it.
Just when Zhao Junze took the bronze mirror to examine carefully, he did not expect that a beautiful-looking woman suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror, and the woman smiled and waved to Zhao Junze, and a golden light flashed, and Zhao Junze was sucked into the copper mirror. When Zhao Junze woke up again, he found himself lying in a room made of gold, and in front of him stood the beautiful woman.
The woman told Zhao Junze that she was originally a rain god in the sky, and because the poor people died in the drought and rained privately, she had been sealed in the bronze mirror by the Jade Emperor for more than two hundred years. The Jade Emperor once said that only the person who picked up the bronze mirror sincerely begged the Jade Emperor to release the Rain God, and the Jade Emperor would help the Rain God lift the seal.
Zhao Junze was amazed after hearing this, he did not expect that he had such an adventure, and then he knelt down and begged the Jade Emperor to let the rain god go, but he sincerely prayed for half a day, but there was no movement, and the rain god laughed when he saw it.
The rain god smiled and said to Zhao Junze, "I can fulfill your three wishes, and then it is not too late for you to ask the Jade Emperor to let me out." ”
Zhao Junze listened to the words of the rain god, and told her about his being wronged and forced to jump into the well, and then he asked the rain god to help him find out the truth. The rain god said that the matter was too simple, she told Zhao Junze: "When you go back, let the master see if there is oil on his money bag, your nemesis is stealing chicken legs above the academy, his hands are stained with oil, he deliberately stole the master's money bag to marry you, just to drive you out of the academy." ”
After the rain god said and waved his hand, Zhao Junze took the bronze mirror back to the moment before he jumped into the well, he knew that the rain god was helping him, so he immediately reminded the master, let the master see that there was oil on the money bag, the master carefully checked the money bag, and finally caught the person who framed Zhao Junze for stealing the money bag, and sure enough, as the rain god said, that person was Zhao Junze's nemesis.
Zhao Junze's nemesis was called Ling Zhongtian, a son of a rich family, and although he had good literary skills, he had always been suppressed by Zhao Junze, and his heart was naturally dissatisfied, so he came up with such an idea to deal with Zhao Junze. Later, Ling Zhongtian was expelled from the academy, and since then, no one has been looking for Zhao Junze's trouble.
After that, Zhao Junze studied seriously and never looked for the rain god again, and the rain god couldn't help but appear from the bronze mirror to ask why Zhao Junze did not allow the remaining two wishes, she told Zhao Junze: "Whether you want the title of the gold list, or gold and silver jewelry, or a beautiful dress, I can fulfill your wishes." ”
Zhao Junze shook his head as he listened, and he said that if he was in trouble, he would take the initiative to find the rain god to help, and as for other things, he would get them through his own efforts. Not long after, the imperial court opened Enke, Zhao Junze with his own efforts to gold list inscription, became the emperor's hand-picked Tanhualang, Zhao Junze also married a Daughter of Shangshu, the husband and wife are very affectionate.
A year later, Zhao Junze's wife had difficulty giving birth, Zhao Junze found the rain god to ask for help, the rain god gave Zhao Junze a bowl of divine water, and Zhao Junze's wife drank the divine water and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses safely. When the dragon and phoenix were born in the full moon, Zhao Junze found the rain god again, and he made a third wish, and his third wish was that the rain god could leave the bronze mirror and be free.
This time the Jade Emperor heard Zhao Junze's wish, he cast a spell to make the rain god leave the copper mirror, after the rain god was free, the copper mirror that Zhao Junze picked up also disappeared, and after that, he lived happily and happily, and never saw the rain god again. Since encountering the rain god, Zhao Junze can solve the problem and embark on the peak of life, and what he does not know is that the rain god has been standing in the sky silently protecting him, and whenever Zhao Junze encounters danger, he can always turn the danger into a disaster.
Editor's note: The rain god helped Zhao Junze solve the problem, Zhao Junze knew how to be grateful, helped the rain god restore his freedom, and they helped each other to win-win. In real life, if people can help each other a little more, a little less of an attitude of not caring about themselves, a little more understanding, a little less embarrassment, we can reduce a lot of trouble, and our lives will become better.
