The wild donkey blocked the way to beg for a seal, and the old man said that it was like a fairy donkey, but the wild donkey asked him to hurry home and cut off his feng shui
In the Northeast, the legend of animal cultivation has a long history, among them, weasels, foxes, snakes and hedgehogs are the easiest animals to become essence, commonly known as the "Four Great Immortals". And in fact, some animals live a long time, and they do more human beings and do things that surprise people, like the story I'm going to tell next.
In the early years, there was a small town called Huangnihe on the western slope of Changbai Mountain and Zhangguangcailing, which was mainly forestry, and the land was vast and sparsely populated. There is an old bachelor named Liu Laofu living in the east of the town, Liu Laofu's parents died early, the family is so poor that he is dingling, plus he looks average, and he has stuttering, so he has been playing a bachelor, and he has not been able to marry a daughter-in-law in his forties.
In order to make a living, Liu Laofu opened a steamed bun shop in the town, and his steamed buns are delicious, thin and filling, and are very popular with the local people, so the business is not bad.
Let's say that in the autumn of this year, Liu Laofu got up early and steamed two drawers of steamed buns, picked them up with a burden and hurried up the mountain, planning to go to the forest to sell them to the mountain people who were logging and collecting medicine. When he was halfway up the mountain, he was blocked by a wild donkey.
But seeing that this wild donkey is larger than the average domestic donkey, with a black body, snow-white hooves, and a pair of big copper bell-like eyes, staring at Liu Laofu with blazing eyes, blocking the already not wide mountain road. Liu Laofu was a little panicked in his heart, because this wild donkey was too big, like a calf. He hurriedly took out two hot buns from his burden and carefully placed them on the ground in front of the wild donkey, hoping that when the wild donkey ate the buns, he would get out.
At this time, the wild donkey suddenly stood up, hugged its two front hooves in front of its chest, and made a gesture at Liu Laofu, and said in a human voice: "Old man, what do you think I look like?"
Liu Laofu was taken aback, could it be that this is the legendary animal "begging for a seal"? I have long heard that some animals will ask humans for a seal when they have cultivated to a certain extent, and if humans say that they are like immortals, they will become immortals, and if they are like animals, then hundreds of years of Taoism will be destroyed in one fell swoop, and they can only cultivate again.
Liu Lao Fu settled down, he was already kind-hearted, plus he was alone, and he had nothing to worry about, so he respectfully said to the wild donkey: "Of course you are like a donkey, but you are not an ordinary donkey, but like a fairy donkey!"
Hearing this, the wild donkey seemed to have tears flashing in his eyes, nodded at Liu Laofu, and made a deep gesture, and said slowly: "Thank you old man, I was originally an ordinary wild donkey, and by chance, I opened my spiritual wisdom, and after hundreds of years of hard work, I finally attained the Tao today, and I can be ranked in the immortal class." But the old man's kindness today, I can't help but report it, what difficulties do you have in your family, you might as well talk about it, maybe I can help you with a thing or two!"
Liu Laofu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was busy talking about the distress of beating a single person all his life, and asked the fairy donkey for guidance.
The fairy donkey smiled slightly, and said slowly: "You have no wife, but today you and I are destined, and I will leak a little genius for you." After you go home, move your ancestral grave to the single pear tree in Xishan, and after three years, there will be a marriage!" After speaking, the fairy donkey flashed black light, and disappeared.
Liu Laofu was overjoyed, picked up the burden and hurried down the mountain, didn't even do business, ran home directly, picked up the pickaxe and went up to the West Mountain. There are many pear trees in the west mountain, and only one single pear tree grows on the top of the mountain, and the branches are luxuriant, which is particularly conspicuous. Liu Laofu found the single pear tree, found a feng shui treasure and began to dig, digging for a long time, actually dug out a stone slab, uncovered the stone slab, there is a big hole below, there is a big iron box in the hole, which is full of gold, silver and jewelry.
Liu Laofu was overjoyed, hurriedly moved the treasure home, bought a house and land, and lived the life of a rich man. After having money, he began to think about his marriage, and kept asking matchmakers to say goodbye, and said several yellow flower daughters in a row, but they didn't get married, until three years later, he was introduced by the matchmaker and married a woman who fled as his wife. Although this woman looks average, she is gentle and virtuous, and she is very good at running a family, and Lao Liu Tou is very satisfied.
Since living a happy life, Lao Liu Tou often thinks of the fairy donkey, and will bring offerings to the mountains to worship during the New Year's holidays.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the old Liu Tou brought good wine and meat into the mountain to worship the fairy donkey, when he came to the place where he met the fairy donkey, suddenly heard someone call his name, he looked around, but did not see a single figure. At this time, the voice said again: "Engong, you don't have to be afraid, I am the fairy donkey you met at the beginning, and now I have found a petty official in Heavenly Court, and this time I am looking for you, I have something to ask for!"
Old Liu Tou hurriedly said: "Lord Immortal Donkey, you are too polite, if you have any orders, I Liu Lao Fu will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!"
The fairy donkey said: "In order to repay your kindness, I leaked the secret of heaven, so that you can get a fortune and marry a good wife, now my calamity has arrived, and the heavenly soldiers will soon come to arrest me, and then there will inevitably be a fierce battle, which is likely to affect your ancestral tomb, so, I want to ask you to move the ancestral tomb to another place, I don't know if you are willing?"
After listening to the words of the fairy donkey, Lao Liu Tou muttered in his heart: "This fairy donkey is really strange, let me move the grave and say it clearly, why do you want to make up a nonsense that the heavenly soldiers will arrest him in the future? Isn't it that after I developed up, I never burned paper money for him, which made him unhappy? Hmph, don't think I don't know what calculations you played, the feng shui of my ancestral tomb is an excellent place, you want to occupy my feng shui treasure land, right?"
Thinking of this, Lao Liu Tou said: "Lord Immortal Donkey, it's not that my old Liu Tou is unwilling to help, it's just that when I moved the grave, I invited a master to see feng shui, and the master said that the place where my ancestral tomb is located is a treasure of feng shui, and it can't be moved!"
The fairy donkey sighed and said: "I have already said what I should say, it's up to you whether you listen or not, if you insist on not moving, I have nothing to do, just don't regret it in the future!" After speaking, there was no more sound.
Old Liu Tou shouted a few times around, "Lord Fairy Donkey", but like a mud cow into the sea, he snorted and said to himself: "What a bullshit fairy donkey, it must be a wild donkey who has become a jing, and there is no door to deceive me in the feng shui treasure!" After speaking, he went down the mountain.
A few days later, one night, Lao Liu Tou was sleeping in a daze, and was suddenly woken up by a strange sound, he sat up and listened carefully, the sound was like a lot of horses and horses screaming, running, which was also mixed with the sound of weapons fighting, Lao Liu Tou was so frightened that he got up and leaned on the crack in the window to look out.
This is not a trivial matter, I saw the faint appearance of many ancient soldiers in the courtyard, they were wearing armor, holding spears, and were fighting fiercely with some monsters dressed in black and with donkey heads. Old Liu Tou was so frightened that he trembled, and he didn't dare to come out of the house when he hid in the house, and he didn't know how long it took before the sound outside gradually calmed down.
After dawn, Lao Liu Tou boldly walked out of the house, and found many broken weapons and the corpses of some black-clothed monsters in the yard and on the roof, so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the house, knocked on the door from door to door, and asked the neighbors if they had heard or seen anything strange last night. But the neighbors all said they slept so hard last night that they didn't hear or see anything.
Lao Liu Tou knew that these must be the traces left by the battle between the heavenly soldiers and the donkey-headed monster that the fairy donkey said, ordinary people couldn't see it at all, and he regretted that his intestines were blue: he really had no eyes, and he mistakenly took the fairy donkey for the donkey spirit, which is good, and the feng shui of the ancestral tomb must have been destroyed.
He hurriedly took the offerings and ran to the ancestral grave to check, only to see that the grave bag had been dug open, his father's coffin had been smashed to pieces, and the bones were scattered everywhere, but the half of his mother was intact. Lao Liu Tou had to re-collect his father's bones and bury them, and bowed three times in the direction where the fairy donkey originally appeared, in order to express his remorse.
Strange to say, since the reburial of his father, Lao Liu's health has deteriorated, the crops in the field have begun to decrease, the livestock raised by the family have also contracted the plague, and they have died completely.
After thinking about it, Lao Liu Tou didn't know what he did wrong, until one day, he met a wandering Taoist, who circled around his ancestral tomb a few times, and then said to Lao Liu Tou: "The feng shui of your ancestral tomb was originally good, but unfortunately it was artificially destroyed, and only half of the good feng shui remained, it would be good to keep you worry-free, it is impossible to be rich and rich!"
Old Liu Tou hurriedly told the Taoist in detail what happened after he met the fairy donkey and moved the grave, and the Taoist pondered for a long time before sighing: "It's all your greed and suspicion, the fairy donkey was originally an immortal official in the upper realm, only because he made a mistake and was demoted to a donkey, and finally cultivated to the Tao, and returned to heaven, not only did you not know how to be grateful, but doubted his intentions, he only used a little trick to show punishment, you should have been ruined, or he was soft-hearted, leaving you half of the feng shui treasure, in the future, you can do it yourself!" After saying that, the man turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared.
From then on, Lao Liu Tou no longer dared to covet wealth and wealth, just for food and clothing, he worked hard, supported his old mother, and lived an ordinary life.
Editor's note:
Hypochondria is the enemy of happiness, and many times, we often let ourselves fall into misery because of our doubts about people and things, and even lose what we should have
Okay, I'll pick up where I left and continue to create for you:
Fortunately, after this incident, Lao Liu Tou completely understood the true meaning of life: ordinary is true, and everything else is fleeting, therefore, his mentality has become very peaceful, and he is happy every day, and people in the village say that he seems to have changed a person.
On this day, Lao Liu Tou went to the mountains to chop wood as usual, when he walked halfway up the mountain, he suddenly heard a miserable cry, he followed the cry to find, and found a woman in white was sitting on a big stone crying, Lao Liu Tou hurriedly stepped forward to ask what happened.
The woman raised her head, choked up and said, "Uncle, my family and I went into the mountains to play, and I accidentally got separated from my family, I am tired and hungry, I really can't walk, can you help me?"
Old Liu Tou took a closer look, and saw that the woman was very handsome, but her eyes were full of tears, her face was haggard, and she looked very pitiful, he hurriedly said: "Girl, don't worry, go to my house to rest and eat something, and then I will help you find your family!"
When the woman heard this, she was very grateful and thanked her again and again. Lao Liu Tou took the woman back home, let her eat something, and boiled hot water for her to wash. After some grooming and dressing, the woman was even more radiant, like a fairy descending to earth.
Lao Liu Tou asked the woman's home address and the names of her family, and planned to go to the town to inquire to see if anyone knew about the woman's family. At this time, the woman suddenly said: "Uncle, don't bother you to look for it, my family already knows that I am here with you, and they will come to pick me up soon!"
Old Liu Tou was skeptical, but since the woman said so, he didn't want to say anything more, so he told the woman to wait at home with peace of mind.
That night, Lao Liu Tou was asleep, suddenly woke up by a rapid knock on the door, he hurriedly got up in his clothes, opened the door to see, only to see a housekeeper-like person with a few housekeepers standing at the door, the housekeeper saw Lao Liu, he asked eagerly: "Old man, is my young lady here here?"
As soon as Lao Liu heard the word "Miss", he understood most of it, and he hurriedly let everyone into the house and shouted to the inner room: "White girl, someone from your house has come to pick you up!"
The woman in white came out of the back room when she heard the sound, and when she saw the housekeeper, she cried and pounced on her, and the housekeeper was also so excited that she burst into tears, and the two hugged their heads and cried. It turned out that the woman in white was surnamed Bai, named Bai He, and was the daughter of the white staff in the town, who was accidentally lost when she went to the mountains with her family a few days ago, and her family had been looking for her for several days.
After Bai He's family thanked Lao Liu Tou for their kindness, they wanted to leave with Bai He. At this time, Bai He suddenly turned to Lao Liu Tou and said: "Uncle Liu, thank you for saving your life, the little woman has nothing to repay, I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you, and serve you for a lifetime!"
Old Liu Tou was taken aback when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, I'm just doing it with my hands, don't take it to heart!"
Seeing this, Bai He's family also persuaded Bai He, and in the end, Bai He reluctantly left Lao Liutou's house.
The next day, Lao Liu Tou went to the town to sell firewood, and suddenly heard people talking about it, saying that Bai Yuanwai's family wanted to recruit a son-in-law, and if anyone was selected, he could not only marry Miss Bai, who was like a flower, but also get half of the Bai family's property. When Lao Liu heard this, he just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
A few days later, one evening, the old Liu Tou was chopping wood in the yard, and suddenly heard a sound of horses' hooves from far and near, he looked up, only to see a team of people stopped in front of his house, led by a person who dismounted and walked in front of him, and said with a deep salute: "Uncle Liu, my lord invites you to come to the house to talk!"
Lao Liu Tou took a closer look, this person was the housekeeper who came to his house to pick up Bai He a few days ago, he didn't know why Bai Yuanwai wanted to invite him, but it was difficult to be warm, so he had to follow the housekeeper to Bai Yuanwai's house.
As soon as Bai Yuanwai saw Lao Liu, he greeted him warmly, took his hand and said: "Uncle Liu, thank you for saving the little girl, I have a little wine today, I must thank you well!"
During the banquet, Bai Yuanwai suddenly said: "Uncle Liu, I see that you are alone and helpless, I wonder if you are willing to come to my house, be a companion with me, and spend your old age together?"
Old Liu Tou was taken aback when he heard this, and he didn't know why Bai Yuanwai would say this, he hurriedly said: "Bai Yuanwai, you are too polite, I am a poor old man, how dare I climb high?"
Bai Yuanwai smiled and said: "Uncle Liu, you are too polite, if you hadn't saved the little girl, she wouldn't know what to do now! Besides, I see that you are a kind and hardworking person, I admire you very much, if you don't dislike it, I am willing to become brothers with you and share the joy of family!"
After listening to Bai Yuanwai's words, Lao Liu Tou was moved to tears, he hurriedly stood up, picked up his wine glass and said: "Bai Yuanwai, you look up to me so much, I am really grateful, come, I toast you!" After speaking, the two drank it all.
Since then, Lao Liu Tou has lived in Bai Yuanwai's house, and the two are like brothers and sisters, closer than brothers. Although Lao Liu Tou did not marry a wife and have children, he also enjoyed the joy of family.
Editor's note:
Kindness is a beautiful quality that allows us to reap more friendships and joys. In this story, Lao Liu Tou saved Bai He because of his kindness, and thus met Bai Yuanwai, a good brother. His kindness not only allowed him to be materially rewarded, but more importantly, he was spiritually satisfied and happy. So, let's keep a kind heart and love and help the people around us!
I hope this little story can give you some inspiration and insight. On the road of life, we will encounter all kinds of difficulties and challenges, but as long as we maintain a kind, optimistic and brave heart, we will definitely be able to overcome difficulties and move towards success and happiness!
