In the Ming Dynasty, a pregnant woman had difficulty giving birth, and after seven or eight days of tossing and turning, she had not given birth to a child, the midwife was powerless, and the pregnant woman's family was anxious, just at this moment, a Youfang Daoist came to this family to ask for water to drink, and after the Youfang Daoist learned about the situation of the pregnant woman, he said to this family: "Hang a white lantern in front of the door." ”
There is an oil seller named Zhen Taki in Yongchun County, he and his wife Zhao Shi have been married for three years, Zhao Shi finally has a pregnancy, so Zhen Taki and her parents attach great importance to her fetus, they carefully serve Zhao Shi every day, do not let Zhao Do anything, only let her raise a fetus at home, no matter what Zhao wants to eat, her husband and in-laws will also try their best to satisfy her.
Under the care of the Zhen Taki family, Zhao's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, and in the blink of an eye, when it comes to the day of Zhao's advent, Zhen Taki invited the best midwife in the vicinity to deliver the baby for Zhao, and also invited her father-in-law and mother-in-law to come and sit in town, she did not expect Zhao's difficult childbirth, she tossed in the delivery room for seven or eight days, and the child just couldn't be born.
On the day of Zhao's birth, a gust of wind suddenly blew outside, and the gust of wind was so big and urgent that people's eyes could not be opened. What made people feel even more strange was that there was still a black cloud floating above the Zhen family, and the black cloud was pressed very low, as if it could fall down at any time and smash into the Zhen family's house.
At that time, the Zhao family tossed for seven or eight days without giving birth to a child, and the black cloud had been floating above the roof of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family only cared about the Zhao family at that time, and did not care about these strange phenomena. The Zhen family saw that the Zhao family was exhausted and could not even say a word, the family was anxious to see such a situation, they were very worried that the Zhao family would die twice, and could only hope that the midwife would find a way to save the Zhao mother and son, but the midwife was also very embarrassed and uneasy in the face of such a situation.
The midwife's surname is Liu, known as Liu Da Niang, the children nearby are basically delivered by Liu Da Niang, Liu Da Niang has delivered children for many years, and has never encountered the situation of Zhao Shi, she is also anxious and helpless, and does not know how to be good.
Just when the Zhen family was in a hurry and panic, a white-bearded old man who was wandering around knocked on the door of the Zhen family, and the old Man called himself the Head of the Jade Void Dao, he said that he had come to ask for water to drink, but his eyes looked directly at the dark cloud above the Zhen family, and his face was very serious.
The person who entertained the head of the Yuxu Dao was Zhen Taki's father, Zhen Laohan, who politely invited the Yuxu Daoist to the hall, brought tea to the Yuxu Daoist, and said with a sad face: "Please forgive me for not being well entertained, my daughter-in-law has had a difficult birth for seven or eight days, and now the child has not been born smoothly, and our family is worrying about this matter." ”
When Elder Yu Xuan heard Zhen Laohan say this, he seemed to be sure of something, he hurriedly put down the tea bowl, and said to Zhen Laohan in an anxious tone: "Hang a white lantern in front of the door quickly, if it is too late, it will be too late!" ”
When Zhen Laohan heard the Yuxu Daoist commander say this, he immediately frowned, hanging a white lantern in front of the door represents that there is a white thing in the family, although the daughter-in-law is difficult to give birth, she is still safe, what does this dao chief let him hang a white lantern in front of the door? Zhen Laohan only felt that the Dao Commander was cursing his daughter-in-law and grandson, and his face was a little ugly, he was about to open his mouth to issue an eviction order, but he did not think that the Yuxu Dao Commander would open his mouth again: "If you want your daughter-in-law's mother and son to be safe, do as I do!" Go, a little later they'll be dead! ”
Old Han Zhen saw that The Jade Void Daoist Looked anxious and had a serious attitude, not like nonsense, so he decided to believe him once, so he found two white lanterns to hang in front of the door. After Zhen Laohan hung a white lantern in front of the door, the head of the Jade Void Dao silently recited a few incantations, only to see that the Zhen family's house emitted a faint layer of golden light, as if it was covered by a transparent spherical object.
After a while, the black cloud above the roof of the Zhen family suddenly disappeared, and the black cloud disappeared for only half a quarter of an hour, and the cry of the baby was heard in the room, only to hear Liu Daniang shouting loudly in the delivery room: "Born!" Mother and child are safe! Gave birth to a big fat boy! ”
When Zhen Laohan heard that his daughter-in-law had successfully given birth to a child, he immediately cried with joy, and the head of the Jade Void Dao also smiled, only to see him wave the dust in his hand, and the golden light on the Zhen family's house disappeared.
Zhen Laohan knew that it was the Jade Void Daoist who had saved his daughter-in-law and grandson, and first thanked the Jade Void Daoist before asking him why he let himself hang a white lantern in front of the door. Yu Xuan Dao told Zhen Laohan that his daughter-in-law Zhao Shi could not give birth to a child for seven or eight days, and was targeted by a child-eating ghost, this kind of ghost specially eats the child who is just about to be born, they will make it difficult for pregnant women to give birth when the child is born, and they want the child to stay in the belly of the pregnant woman for nine more days, so that the child born is heavy yin, and after eating it will help them improve their cultivation.
The head of the Jade Void Dao said that the group of eating children's ghosts were hidden in the black cloud above the Zhen family, and he asked Zhen Laohan to hang a white lantern in front of the door, just to pass on a false message to those ghosts, so that they thought that Zhao and the children were not saved, and he also cast a spell so that the group of ghosts could not spy on the situation in the house, and the ghosts only thought that Zhao's children were stillborn, so they left.
After Zhen Laohan learned the truth, he thanked and thanked The Elder of the Jade Void Dao, and Zhen Taki also rushed to kneel to thank the Head of the Jade Void Dao for saving his son and wife. Seeing that Zhao And the children were safe, the Jade Void Daoist commander resigned and left the Zhen family, he caught up with the group of eating children's ghosts and forcibly overtook these ghosts, after this incident, there was no strange thing happening nearby.
