During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, a strange thing happened in Jiangcheng County. That is, every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, there will be a round of large bright moons in the sky. That night, there will always be a man or woman missing in Jiangcheng County. And after such a man or woman disappears, everyone will clap their hands and applaud. The matter attracted the attention of the authorities, but in that era there was no way to decipher such a strange and mysterious thing. Such strange things are being played out every year.

There is a mountain in Jiangcheng County called Xieyue Mountain. At the foot of The Inclined Moon Mountain, there lives a middle-aged couple. The couple was nearly fifty years old but had no children, and later, after they picked up a Buddha statue at the foot of Xieyue Mountain and brought it home to offer offerings, their wife's stomach suddenly moved. After becoming pregnant in October, the old woman gave birth to a child, and the old couple named the child Zheng Jingui. Because they are old and have children, the couple can't spoil their children. It is really afraid to melt in the mouth, and it is afraid to fall in the palm of the hand. Because of the over-spoiling of parents, children grow up to become very unfilial and often beat and scold their parents for no reason. The villagers looked at it and shook their heads and sighed.

When Zhang Jingui was eighteen, his parents were nearly seventy years old. However, Zhang Jingui is still unfilial to his parents. This year's Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a seller of mooncakes in the village, he passed by Zhang Jingui's door, saw Zhang Jingui's door all the old father punching and kicking, he shook his head and sighed: "You young man, how come you don't know filial piety so much!" As the saying goes, 'filial piety comes first', and if you do this, you will be taken away by heaven! As soon as Zhang Jingui, who was tall and tall, heard this, he was on fire, and he shouted angrily: "Where is the seller, dare to take care of my business, see if I don't kill you!" After saying that, Zhang Jingui ran towards the seller.

When the seller looked at it, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Moonlight, shine on the skylight, not filial piety Lang will be chained!" After saying that, he picked up two baskets of goods and ran quickly. It is also strange to say that the seller carries two baskets of goods, and his two legs are like a raw wind, allowing Zhang Jingui to chase with his life, but he can't catch up. In this way, one of them ran, one chased, and gradually, it was dark. Zhang Jingui found that he had come to a strange and strange village. The village is under an oblique mountain bag, and every house in the village has only a wooden door and a skylight. The people in the village look very amiable. Zhang Jingui walked around the village for a long time, and did not see the seller, so he had to ask an old man in the village to stay for one night. The old man happily agreed, and mysteriously told Zhang Jingui that if Zhang Jingui could leave the village smoothly the next day, then he would receive a hundred and two gold gifts from the villagers.

The old man took Zhang Jingui to a dark house, which only had a small wooden door and a large skylight. The bright moonlight shines through the skylight into the house, and the house is as bright as day. Zhang Jingui felt very strange, but because he was too tired to chase after the seller during the day, as soon as he lay down on the wooden bed, he snored. In the middle of the night, Zhang Jingui suddenly saw some men in his village, slowly floating down from the skylight, trembling majestically to his bed, stretching out his white hand, and pleading: "Moonlight, illuminate the skylight." Zhang Jingui, we are also from Xieyue Village, I have not eaten for several years, you give us some steamed buns. Zhang Jingui was frightened and woke up, and found that he had a dream, so he scolded and fell down to sleep.

The next morning, Zhang Jingui got up and wanted to go to the old man from last night. But before he could open the door, the old man pushed open the wooden door and said coldly, "You can leave!" Zhang Jingui walked out of the house nervously and came to the outside of the house. Suddenly, a group of women rushed up, and while they scolded Zhang Jingui for being filial piety, they threw rotten and smelly wild vegetables at Zhan Xiaosan, causing him to kneel and beg for forgiveness, and then left indignantly. Zhang Jingui's body was dirty and smelly, and he was shocked and afraid, and ran to the mouth of the village. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw the seller from yesterday sitting leisurely under a big tree with his eyes closed.

Zhang Jingui was angry at once, he rushed forward, grabbed the seller, and scolded loudly: "You damn seller, lead me to this ghost place." You see, what have I become now? The seller pushed Zhang Jingui's hand away and said with a smirk, "You could have left here smoothly, but the fact that you punched and kicked your parents was reported by the people of your Xieyue Village, so you were beaten." Zhang Jingui said angrily, "You nonsense! What I do, how will people here know? The seller sighed and said, "'If people don't know, unless they don't do anything about it.'" Alas, you did something unfilial, not only did the unfilial villagers who came first last night know it, but even our heavens know it. ”

When Zhang Jingui heard this, he was so frightened that he "pounced" and knelt down: "Big brother of the seller, I was wrong, I swear, if I can go home, I will definitely change myself." The seller pointed to his cargo and said, "Your parents are really pitiful, and they have enshrined the Buddha statues in our Moonlight Village." Now I'll give you a chance. First, when you return home, you must be filial to your mother; second, after you leave the village, within three days, you must sell out the mooncakes in my cargo. Otherwise, you will never be able to return to this home, and you will still be caught by the villagers of our village and tied to this village. Zhang Jingui nodded repeatedly, and he followed the seller out of this mysterious village. On the way home, every time Zhang Jingui sold a piece of mooncake, he would find that his heart was pricked by a needle. He couldn't stand the pain, and just then a beggar came over, and he gave the beggar a moon cake. However, something strange happened, and after giving the beggar a moon cake, he found that his heart no longer hurt. So, Zhang Jingui seemed to understand something, and along the way, he gave the mooncake to some poor people.

Three days later, Zhang Jingui finally walked out of that moonlight village. Back at home, as soon as the parents saw Zhang Jingui, they anxiously asked, "Child, where have you been in the past two days?" But it made us anxious. Zhang Jingui looked at his parents' ragged appearance, remembered that his parents had brought himself up with hard work for many years, and thought of the words that the seller warned him when he was parting, and he couldn't help but regret and be afraid. He "pounced" and knelt down: "Father, mother, I was not good before, I was not filial piety, in the future, I will definitely be filial to you." After saying that, he hugged his parents and cried. Since then, the parents have changed as individuals, filial piety to the parents, and the parents have ended up in a hundred years. Zhang Jingui has also become a model for spreading filial piety in the village, often telling people about the strange things of "moonlight, illuminating the skylight, and those who are not filial piety will be chained", and admonishing the villagers to be filial to their parents. Since then, Xieyue Village has never found any strange things about villagers being taken away by heaven, and Zhang Jingui has also lived to ninety-nine.
