Xiucai Kong Jun, who lives in Xuzhou, has a custom in his hometown, all those who have died, on the night of the first seven, sprinkle firewood ash on the soft ground at the door, and the next day they can see the footprints on the ash, and use this to determine what kind of animal the deceased person has reincarnated into.
Kong Jun was very suspicious of ghosts and gods, feeling that it was nothing and not worth believing, and many of the patterns displayed on the gray could not be recognized, so he was even more certain that there was no such thing in the world.
One winter, the neighbor's family had an old man die, and after the funeral, the neighbor also sprinkled a layer of ash at the door according to custom, wanting to see whether the dead relatives were reincarnated as adults or animals, and the next day, the ash did show the footprints, which looked like the footprints of the chickens.
This neighbor thought that his relatives had reincarnated into chickens, very sad, cried at the door for a long time, at that time to see a lot, Kong Jun listened, also ran to see the liveliness, he saw the footprints on the ground, sure enough, like a chicken stepping out, and then look at the wood ash, but not ash, but with the grinding out of the chaff.
Kong Jun saw that there were several sparrows in the trees above his head, one of which had chaff on his feet, while the others were more or less there, and thinking of this, he suddenly understood this matter, and couldn't help but laugh! The neighbor was sad, laughed at him and was very angry, and asked him why he was so disrespectful. Kong Jun pointed to the bird in the tree: "Your chaff has been eaten by the birds, it is not strange to leave footprints, just a little loss of chaff, why are you so sad?" ”
When the crowd heard this, they all laughed. The neighbors wanted to understand what was going on at this time, but seeing Kong Jun laughing at him in front of so many people, his heart was very unhappy, and he would no longer have any contact with him from then on. Kong Junfeng laughed and said, "How can this kind of thing be taken seriously?" ”
After several years of this incident, Kong Junduo's sick father died, and after the funeral, on the first seven nights, Kong Jun's mother told him to look at the ashes, and Kong Jun did not believe in such a thing, but he could not survive his mother, so he sprinkled a layer of firewood on the ground at the door. Early the next morning, there were hoof prints of two or three animals on the ash, very deep and clear, looking like pigs.
After Kong Mu saw it, she couldn't help but cry, sighing that her husband's life was bitter, kong Jun saw it, how to not understand, suddenly very suspicious of his previous thoughts, maybe it was wrong, seeing his mother so sad, Kong Jun was also sad to leave tears. Later, when he talked about this matter to his good friends, he said, "I would rather believe in the affairs of ghosts and gods!" ”
And Kong Jun's friend and his neighbor also knew each other, the two of them drank together later, talking about this matter, this neighbor drank too much, and smiled at Kong Jun's friend and said: "Kong Xiucai threatened not to believe in ghosts and gods, but now he is rebellious, and he says that ghosts and gods exist, it is really stupid, the pig's trotter print is clearly carved by me with wood, secretly covered at night, this move just let him taste the taste of being teased, did not think he was so sad!" ”
After the friend listened, he went to tell Kong Jun the next day, Kong Jun was very angry at first, and then he was relieved: "Originally I thought that only a reader was intelligent and could use reason and scheming, but now it seems that I have shaken my faith, after all, I am stupid, compared with him, what can I be proud of!" ”。
Conclusion: Kong Xiu only finally understood that he was being teased, but if he had always insisted on the belief that there was no ghost in his heart, this matter would not have appeared, it seems that some things really have nothing to do with reading.
