Yellow skin is a leather spirit. He practiced in the school's Buddhist hall for several lifetimes. Influenced by his own experiences, he gradually became a bit bookish.

Can speak human words and act humanely.

With human touch, Huangpizi has the dream of getting rid of animal reincarnation and cultivating into adulthood.

I heard practitioners of the older generation say that adult practitioners must wear the clothes worn by those who have just died after 500 years of practice. Then have a living person tell you "you are a person" in your face.

Seeing that he was about to cultivate for five hundred years, Huang Pizi decided to follow the instructions of his predecessors.

The first thing is to get the clothes worn by the person who has just died. But the families of those who had just died kept vigil all night. There is no chance to start.

After thinking about it, I thought of a more suitable way, which was to steal the clothes of an old and frail old man who was dying.

1. Beating for stealing a shroud

That night, it was dark and the wind was strong, and the yellow skin jumped over the wall to Li Laohan's house. Old man Li's house was turned upside down. The shroud was also not found. Just as he was angry, a voice came from the other side of the bed:

"Yao'er, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Then, the oil lamp came on.

Li Lao looked at him with his eyes closed. Huangpizi felt guilty and panicked, ready to escape.

"Yao'er, the room is buzzing, what are you looking for??" Elder Li asked again.

"Yao'er?" Huangpizi was shocked for a moment and then calmed down. It turned out that Li Lao Han was confused, his eyes and ears were not working, and he mistook himself for his youngest son Li Shun.

Huangpizi was helpless, so he had to go with the flow and said in the tone of his younger son:

"That... The eldest son of the eldest brother's family, Qiangzi, your eldest grandson, has not returned home yet, the eldest brother is worried, let me go to you to find him! ”

Huangpizi knew that he lived alone, was deaf, and had few neighbors, so he deliberately raised his voice and spoke loudly to dispel doubts and escape as soon as possible.

"Monkey? What monkeys? I didn't see the monkeys coming! ”

Old man Li thought that the child was a monkey, and Huang Pizi had to raise his voice by a few decibels. Almost shouting:

"Dad, where did you hear that? Not a monkey, but a squeaky little child! ”

"Oops! You screaming monkey, I haven't been out all day and haven't heard anything! Old man Li said seriously.

Huangpizi sighed, looking at this situation, the old man had already admitted death. Have to! I didn't bother to tell him if he was a monkey or a child. Let's roll first. Then he said to Li Laohan:

"Okay, dad, forget it if you don't see it, don't look for it anymore, you go back to sleep, tomorrow this monkey is estimated to go home by itself."

Yellowskin walked out disappointed. I thought to myself, among these ten miles and eight towns, the only one who can hope to return to the west is Li Lao. Now that the old man is still full of energy, it is difficult to steal the shroud. We can only wait for him to finish before taking action.

So, Huang Pizi decided to go to Old Master Li's house every day to serve him. Thinking of "sincerity, gold and stone", serving him so wholeheartedly, one day, the old man closed his eyes, said only a few words, and left the shroud to him.

Since then, Huang Pizi has rode to the door of the old man's house every day. At this time, he aroused the suspicion of the old man's youngest son, Li Shun. He thought that Huangpizi saw that his father was about to die, so he wanted to act as a filial son and coax his father to pass on the ancestral house to him.

He rolled his eyes and thought of a way to treat him.

On this day, Huang Pizi had just entered Old Master Li's house. Suddenly, a man jumped out from behind the door. He raised his hand and hit him on the head with a stick. Looking closely, it turned out to be Li Shun, the youngest son of Li Laohan. He raised his eyebrows and cursed:

"You bastard, you have a conspiracy against me, you want to cheat my house, but there is no way!"

Yellowskin's head was broken and bleeding. He covered his head with both hands and said: "Li Shun, you misunderstood, this is not the case, you listen to my explanation first!" ”

"What's wrong with that? You don't want to take care of my family, can you be kind enough to take care of the old man? See if I don't kill you today! ”

Li Shun kicked Huang Pizi out of the door, and Huang Pizi had to flee in order to save his life.

With flying colors! Huang Pizi believes that as long as he is dedicated to doing good deeds, merit will be satisfied. Who knew that the path of cultivation would be so bumpy and bumpy.

The world is declining, and people's hearts are no longer as old as they used to be. Do good on your own and nothing will go your way.

2. Throw peaches and plums, and exchange food for life clothes

Unexpectedly, five days after Huangpizi was beaten away, Old Man Li closed his eyes and returned to the West.

The disheartened yellow-skinned man saw hope again, and he vowed to get the shroud this time and become a cultivator.

If you can't serve the old man, you can only repay the favor and start with Li Shun.

Li Laohan's son is lazy and greedy for money. Huangpizi ventured to remove two bags of food hidden on the school beam. Prepare to make a deal with Li Shun and exchange grain for life clothes.

During his practice, every year during the busy agricultural season, he would go to the field to pick up some ears of wheat. The grain stored on the beams of the school auditorium is a treasure he has saved up through years of hard work.

It transported grain to Li Shun's house. Li Shun originally wanted to pick up the bamboo pole and beat it out, but when he saw the grain on the back of the bamboo pole, he withdrew his hand. Anyway, I already have my father's house, so I'm not afraid that something will happen to him. Let's first see what this skin sprite wants to do.

Huang Pizi put down the grain and said with a smile: "I took two bags of grain and want to make a deal with you..."

Before Huang Pizi finished speaking, Li Shun grabbed the grain and said with a smile: "You say, what's going on?" ”

"Can these two bags of grain be exchanged for your father's shroud?" Huangpi Ziwei said. Afraid that Li Shunyi would not be happy, he hit it with a bamboo pole.

Li Shun is a person who loves money. He exchanged worthless shrouds for food and made money without losing money. How could he not have done it. I just don't like that two bags of food are too little. They took the opportunity to rob and bargain. In the end, four bags of grain were sold.

There are two steps to becoming an adult. The first step is to obtain the deceased's clothes. The next step is for the living to say to it, "You're human." Only in this way can the great cause of practice be accomplished.

Li Shun promised to give him the shroud in exchange for food. Now I have no money to exchange with him. Next, you definitely can't count on his help. I had to think of something else.

3. Why is it so difficult for you to say "I am alone"?

Huang Pizi aimed at Zhang Lao Han in the north of the village. The old man was an honest farmer. If he helps, he will definitely become a beautiful person.

So Huang Pizi put on his birthday robe and walked towards the north of the village. When I saw Zhang Laohan, he was shouting "ho ho ho", wielding a whip, driving cattle, ploughing the fields.

Huangpizi ran over and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you take a break, I'll help you plow the ground!" After that, he pulled the ox rope over his shoulder and ran forward one foot deep and one foot shallow. Old Man Zhang ignored it and continued to drive cattle sullenly.

It was already half-past noon when we ploughed, and the sun was hot. The yellow-skinned man was exhausted and panting and sweating profusely. It glanced back at Old Man Zhang and said:

"Uncle, it's too hot today, you sit down and rest first, I'll go and pour you some water to drink."

After that, Huang Pizi put down the cow rope and ran to the opposite river to scoop up a spoonful of water.

Old man Zhang was really thirsty, so he took water and drank.

Huangpizi thought about it, helped the old man plow the field all morning, and scooped water for him to drink. I must be very grateful to myself. So he asked, "Uncle, do you think I'm human?" ”

When Old Master Zhang heard this, he laughed out loud: "Are you kidding? Look at the big tail on your back, how do you look like a human? I see you as a bit like a human. ”

Huang Pizi listened to Old Master Zhang's words, and his heart was cold. I thought that Zhang Laohan would be honest and repay virtue with virtue, but I didn't expect that in exchange for humiliation and ridicule.

With flying colors! Just want people to say "you're alone!" Why is it so hard? The yellow-skinned man left dejectedly!

When passing by a hemp field, Huang Pizi heard a screaming sound not far away. Taking a closer look, it turned out that the cultivator Chicken Essence, who was decades before him, had passed away. He bragged at the funeral.

Huangpizi was very envious, how happy he would be if he died alone!

In the blink of an eye, it was the Zhongyuan Festival. The folk call it "Ghost Festival". Huang Pizi knew that this day was the day of rest for the demons and monsters underground. The gates of hell open. The ghosts of the underworld will take the opportunity to escape. Travel to a higher level of the Asura world.

Huang Pizi thought to himself, this chicken spirit will definitely not let go of this opportunity to escape from hell. , he is expected to run out of the cemetery and fly to the Asura world.

Why not take advantage of it before it flies away and get the Cultivation Sutra from it?

One night in mid-July, the moonlight was sparse and the entire cemetery was illuminated by moonlight.

Yellowskin followed the moonlight to the grave of the chicken essence. The tomb stands in a hemp field, when the stalks are ripe.

Wearing a birthday robe and a straw hat, Huangpizi squatted in the cemetery to watch. Looking around, I saw Old Man Hu lying in the hemp field, leisurely smoking a pipe, and looking at hemp.

This old man Hu is an old bachelor in his fifties and has a small steel cannon. Lying alone in a hemp field is not scary at all.

Old Man Hu was very shrewd and had long discovered the yellow skin hiding by the grave. Mistakenly thinking that I had come to steal hemp, he lay in the hemp field, waiting for the yellow skin to appear. But after looking at it for a few quarters of an hour, the yellow leather seemed to be welded to the side of the grave. It's like a statue.

Old Man Hu poked his head out and took a closer look. In the moonlight, he saw the big tail behind the yellow skin shining.

Old Man Hu guessed that it must have been the leather spirit who came to dig the grave. He laughed and shouted:

"Hey! Little brother, what are you doing lying here? ”

Yellow-skinned is sleepy-eyed, his eyelids twitching, and he is taking a nap. Hearing Old Man Hu's shout, he was startled. He stammered, "No... I didn't do anything, I just... In a hurry, that's why I came here to relieve my hands! ”

"Are you done playing? Come and sit for a while, smoke a pack of cigarettes, and relieve fatigue! ”

The yellow skin was also tired of squatting, and passed without much thought.

Old man Hu was holding a large cigarette bag in his mouth, and his cheeks shrank sharply. "Blah blah" sucked heavily. Next to it is a small steel cannon, which is a "protective weapon".

Huang Pizi was curious and pointed to the small steel cannon: "Uncle, what is this?" ”

Old man Hu said with a smile: "This is a big pipe, more powerful than my small pipe, you put it in your mouth first, I will light it for you, to ensure that you have fun!" ”

Huang Pizi didn't know that it was a small steel cannon, but seeing that Old Man Hu said it well, he believed it.

The corners of Old Man Hu's mouth raised and he lit the cigarette bag in his hand. Huangpizi just wanted to take a sip. Just listen to the "boom". First thunder, then smoke. Yellowskin's mouth immediately swelled into pig intestines. He screamed in pain.

Seeing the yellow skin running away in a panic, Old Man Hu laughed and spat out, "Look if you dare to row the cemetery!" ”

4. Self-cultivation, kindness does not live up

Yellowskin was desperate. During this time, it sees through human ugliness, greed, indifference, deception, pedantry, selfishness...

It begins to doubt its determination to become an adult. If people are so ugly, what is the point of us adults to practice? Since it is so unbearable, being a human is not much better than being an animal!

The yellow-skinned man was draped in a birthday robe, facing the wind, arching his neck, not caring that his tail was exposed. Walk down the street with your head down.

As he walked, Huangpizi saw a small beggar curled up in a corner, his eyes closed, as if asleep.

The yellow-skinned man was soft-hearted and could not bear to see such suffering in the world, so he took off the shroud and stepped forward to cover the body of the beggar.

These days he was so tired that he leaned on the little beggar and sat down. After a while, he started grunting.

The next day, before dawn, the yellow skin was woken up by the violent coughing of the little beggar. The little beggar's face was flushed, and when he touched his forehead again, he felt very hot. It must be a fever. The little beggar opened his mouth and said, "Uncle, thank you!" ”

"Don't call me uncle, I'm a leather spirit, not a human!" Huangpizi said with a smile. The first time someone looked at him as a human being, he was happy. Then he asked, "Are you hungry?" I'll find you something to eat! ”

"Uncle, why aren't you human? You are human! You're still a good guy! The little beggar said excitedly.

Huang Pizi felt as if there was an electric current flowing through his body, and his body was warm. Touched his tail again, "Huh? What about my tail? The yellow skin turned around several times and found that he had finally become a man.

He looked at the little beggar with tears in his eyes: "It turns out that kindness will not fail after all!" ”
