During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a Taoist in Suzhou City who did not know where to come from, who was dressed in a Taoist robe and looked like a Dao bone fairy wind, walking to the streets of Suzhou all day, often going to the door of the rich merchants to raise money. The Taoist held an iron bull the size of a palm in his hand, and when he saw it, he said: "The iron bull Daoist is here." "People look at the dress of the Iron Bull Daoist and feel novel.
On this day, the Iron Bull Daoist came to a rich family, this rich man opened a large pawnshop in the city, and he was one of the few rich families in the city, and the Taoist came to make friends with the owner of this house. This rich man, who has always believed in Taoism, invited the Iron Bull Daoist into the living room, and the two chatted for a while. Seeing the iron bull in the hands of the Taoist who never left his hand, the rich man asked curiously: "The iron bull in the hands of the Daoist is very peculiar, I don't know what is the magic use?" ”
The Taoist twisted his beard, smiled slightly, and replied: "The iron bull in the hands of the poor Dao is not comparable to ordinary things, but a Taoist treasure. Listen to me recite the Green Grass Taoist Sutra three times a day, and the next morning I can pull out several melon seed gold. The poor road has the opportunity to obtain this immortal treasure, and he cherishes it, and he does not dare to leave his body for a moment. ”
When the rich man heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, the pawnshop in his home had collected a lot of rare treasures, but there was no such magical treasure as this iron bull that could pull melon seeds and gold. He then asked if the man would be willing to endure the pain and sell him the iron bull, and he was willing to pay a high price to buy it. I didn't want the Iron Bull Daoist but resolutely refused, and when the rich man saw this, the more he wanted to get this treasure in his heart. He left the Iron Bull Daoist begging in every way, and gave another sum of silver as the income of the Taoist fate, and the two entangled and discussed for a long time, and the Iron Bull Daoist reluctantly agreed to rent the Iron Bull to the rich man for a day.
The Iron Bull Taoist taught the rich man to read the "Green Grass Dao Sutra" and instructed him many things to pay attention to, and then handed over the iron bull in his hand to the rich man. The rich man nodded again and again and said yes, regarded the iron bull in his hand as a treasure, held it in his hand and played with it for a long time, and recited the "Green Grass Dao Sutra" over and over again. In the evening, the rich man put the iron bull in the secret room where he stored the treasure, and the next morning, the rich man couldn't wait for the maid to open the secret room and take out the iron bull, and sure enough, under the tail of the iron bull, he found several golden melon seeds. The rich man held the iron bull in his hand and couldn't put it down: "It's really a Taoist baby!" ”
Unfortunately, it didn't take long for the Iron Bull Daoist to come to the door and ask for the Iron Bull: "Outside the staff, the one-day contract has arrived, please return my Taoist Immortal Treasure." The rich man had no choice but to return this iron bull to the iron bull governor reluctantly. The Iron Bull Daoist took the Iron Bull, slapped a hand at the rich man, and then turned around and flew away.
The rich man couldn't eat, couldn't sleep well, opened and closed his eyes every day, and the iron bull fluttered in front of him. The rich man was deeply regretful: "Such an immortal family treasure, how can you lose it when you finally have this immortal fate witnessed?" Even if you give up thousands of family furniture, you must also leave this thing as a family heirloom. As soon as this thought appeared, the rich man became even more anxious day by day. He ordered his family to go around the city to find the Iron Bull Dao people, and make sure to invite the Iron Bull Road people home.
The kung fu lived up to the hard work, and the rich man finally found the Iron Bull Daoist. This time, the rich man no longer wanted to miss the opportunity and directly asked the Iron Bull Daoist to sell the Iron Bull to him. The Iron Bull Daoist shook his head: "This is my Taoist treasure, how can I bargain for everything?" The rich man begged the Iron Bull Daoist in every possible way, and the Iron Bull Daoist was forced to helpless, so he had to nod and agree: "It's just an immortal treasure, worth a lot, how to make a price?" If you don't take anything, you are afraid that you will lose the Taoist immortal treasure. ”
The two people discussed for a long time, and then they agreed that the value of the melon seed gold pulled by the iron bull every day was calculated as the value of the melon seed gold for 365 days a year, and it would be the value of this iron bull. The account room calculated the total price, and the rich man handed over the silver to the iron bull Daoist, and the iron bull Daoist reluctantly handed the iron bull to the rich man: "Be sure to take good care of my Taoist immortal things." ”
The rich man got his wish and finally got the iron bull, which he brought with him every day and showed off everywhere. In the first few days, the iron ox pulled out a few melon seeds every morning as before. But after a few days, the iron bull stopped pulling out the melon seed gold, and the rich man felt very strange, at first he thought that his "Green Grass Dao Sutra" was reciting less, and after reciting for a long night, the iron bull still did not pull out the melon seed gold. The rich man was worried that the iron bull was sick, but looking closely at the iron bull, there was no change from before, the rich man raised the iron bull above his head, and the small hole in the tail of the iron bull that pulled melon seeds was also intact.
The rich man also suspected that the servants of the family had unclean hands and feet, and secretly took the melon seed gold. Because in the past, this iron bull was taken care of by a handmaid of a rich man, and the melon seed gold pulled out by the iron bull was also collected by her and handed over to the rich man. But two days ago, this maid suddenly had an emergency, which seemed to be very dangerous, and the rich man did not want her to die in his own home, so he asked the people of the maid's family to take her back.
Day after day, the iron bull still couldn't pull out the melon seed gold. The rich man sent someone to find the Iron Bull Daoist to inquire about the situation, but after searching all over Suzhou City, there was no trace of the Iron Bull Daoist, and even the sick maid did not know where she went. At this time, the rich man gradually woke up: he was a fool of the Iron Bull Daoist. Some people also analyzed that the iron bull actually couldn't pull out any melon seed gold, it was the iron bull Daoist who bought out the handmaid in the rich man's family in advance, let her secretly do tricks, put the melon seed gold next to the iron bull, pretending to be the melon seed gold pulled out by the iron bull, attracting the rich man to be deceived.
This matter spread ten, ten and hundred, and soon became a joke in Suzhou City. In the tea house wine shop, people made fun of the rich man Li Ling Zhi faint and fell for the scammer. Why did the owner of the tea house ask and said to the tea customers with a smile: "The wig that iron bull can really pull out gold, why do the iron bull Daoists need to go around begging?" ”
