In ancient times, one loach cultivated for 400 years and finally became a refinement. Just as he was about to take shape, he was caught by a man, took it home and cooked it. The loach was unwilling, and cried to the king of Yan after arriving at the prefecture. Who knows, the king of Yan said, "This is all as it should be!"
During the Southern Song Dynasty, this loach, which had been cultivating for four hundred years, was almost kicked at the door, and it had to ascend to heaven and become a refinement.
But in the process, it is still an ordinary loach, still hungry and thirsty, so after a few days of hunger, ready to go out to find food.
It slipped out of the cave, because it had been cultivating and had not eaten for many days, so it was less sensitive to threats to the environment, so after passing through a mossy rock, it was grabbed by a rough big hand, and its slippery body was useless in his clenched fists.
When it saw his appearance, it didn't know why it felt a sense of peace of mind, it thought that this was a previous omen of its transformation into a human form, and gradually had a sixth sense.
However, until it returned to a low eaves, the man lowered his head and entered, and did not release himself, its heart was cold, and it turned out that its sixth sense was very accurate this time.
The man washed it and cooked it and ate it, I don't know why it still felt a sharp pain, and he still had pain and perception when he was dead.
The loach felt very dissatisfied with his ghost-like state and was also a little aggrieved. It was very unwilling, and after many hardships, it discerned its direction, and when it arrived at the prefecture, it immediately cried to the king of Yan.
Who knows, King Yan said mysteriously: "Loach, this is all as it should be!"
Yan Wang summoned the little ghost, asked him to take the book of life and death and open it, and pointed to the column of the little loach, which happened to be He Yan's name underneath, and drew a red circle.
This man named He Yan is the savior of loach, whose parents have died since childhood, and his family is surrounded by four walls, and once wrote couplets in the town by reading a few words.
A few years later, in the firewood room of a large family surnamed Xu, the head of the Xu family invited someone to come to the house to teach his children to read, and Young Master Xu loved to play, so the head of the Xu family asked people of the right age in his family servants to accompany him to study, and the remuneration was still paid. He Yan is one of them.
Young Master Xu was bored in private school every day, doing nothing, looking at the sun for a while, touching the inkstone plate for a while, and when Mr. He Yan got up to answer the question, he played Lai Pi and hooked He Yan's stool out, so that he fell and gnawed mud when he sat down.
At this time, he laughed so much, the people in the private school were all human spirits, and after a while, the laughter was about to lift the roof.
And He Yan always silently patted the ash on his butt, and continued the class casually.
The days passed like this day by day, until He Yan's indifference made Young Master Xu feel bored, and he did not stop.
On this day, he patted He Yan's shoulder, leaned in to his ear and said: "Take me to play, in this way, I will not bully you in the future, let you concentrate on studying." ”
He Yan is not afraid of bullying, but there is still a place to live and food to eat, which is a good thing for him to drop pies in the sky, He Yan thought about it and agreed.
He Yan was not from the town at first, but from He Village, but came to the town later to make a living.
So, he made up his mind to take Young Master Xu to He Village, Young Master Xu likes to grab things, He Yan took him to the river, Young Master Xu immediately caught a loach, and smiled and played with other companions and said: "This loach is a fool, spinning around here in the rock, and now it hit my hand." ”
After speaking, he laughed loudly, called He Yan, and put it in the basket, He Yan saw that the loach was a little red, and he couldn't bear it, so he took advantage of Young Master Xu's lack of attention and released it.
Remembering what Young Master Xu said, he estimated that this was a loach without a sense of direction, so he chanted words in the direction it went: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a sense of direction, you must avoid the crowd, silly loach." ”
The silly loach may have heard what he said, and did not encounter the crowd along the way, and then later, it picked up an immortal book and began to cultivate immortals hard, and after many years of hardship and simplicity, it was finally about to achieve positive results.
At this time, He Yan, who appeared back then, caught the silly loach that had not encountered the crowd for so many years and had degraded.
When the loach heard this, it understood most of it, but it still had doubts and asked, "But if you just teach me a lesson, there is no need to eat me." ”
Yan Wang Ye smiled and said, "Do you know what your status is in the book of life and death?" This is an era of the law of the jungle, dead is dead, even with the help of nobles, there is a new way. ”
It turned out that He Yan was possessed by a god in the sky, and he saved the life of the loach with the compassion of his desolate life, and the immortal was originally a sinful body, because he unintentionally disturbed the order, and his divine power was weakened.
The immortal thought that it was because of the little loach, so he sent the man to capture it and cook it to pay for the crime.
But the man could not bear the slaughter of the loach himself, so he prayed in front of the Buddha for 7749 days to pray for it. Sincerity touched the heavens, so he still retains his soul after death so that he can be reincarnated in the next life.
In the end, the silly loach was silent. Yan Wang Ye asked, "What do you want to be in the next life?" Loach thought for a moment and said, "Then become, a woman with both talents and appearances." ”
Later, a beautiful woman really appeared in front of He Yan's door, and when she raised her hand, a red line appeared, pointing to the He family.
