Chapter 92 The Story of Abdullah Fazri and His Two Brothers-3

When Abdullah spoke up to this point, he turned around and asked the two dogs, "Brother! Is what I said true?" The two dogs listened, bowed their heads, and closed their eyes to prove that his narration was true.The caliph was amazed at what he saw. I was thrown into the sea by my two brothers, and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.Later, under the impact of the current, it slowly surfaced.At this time, a bird as big as a person suddenly swooped down from the sky and immediately grabbed me and flew up.In a daze, I opened my eyes and saw that I was in a palace decorated with carved beams and painted buildings and various treasures.There was a woman among a group of beautiful girls, sitting on a throne studded with jewels.Her whole body is full of jewels, and the dazzling luster radiates makes people who face her unable to open their eyes.

At this time, the big bird that flew me to the palace suddenly turned into a fairy-like girl.She is the white snake that I met in the mountains that time and was chased and bullied by the black snake.Just listen to the woman sitting on the throne say to the girl: "Who is this person? Why did you bring him here?" "Mother, this is the warrior who saved my reputation with brave actions in times of crisis." Then she asked me: "Do you know me?" "I've never seen you before." I replied. "I met you in the barren mountains. I was fighting a black snake to the death. It was you who killed it and saved me."

"At that time, I just saw a white snake fighting a black snake." "I am the white snake. In fact, I am the daughter of the Red King among the gods, and my name is Theodai. This is my mother who sits on the throne, the concubine of the Red King. The black snake was originally the black snake. The king's chancellor, named Delphile, was a shameless man with an extremely ugly character. He wanted to possess me the first time he saw me, and he had the audacity to propose marriage to my father. My father refused and sent a message: "You scum of the gods, you don't even look at what you are. How can you marry the emperor's daughter?" For this reason, he became angry, held a grudge, and wanted to achieve his evil goals at any time. Since then, he has paid attention to my whereabouts, where did I go, where did he follow, and he was determined to harm me. There was a fierce battle between him and my father, but he was cunning, and it was difficult to completely subdue him. Whenever my father had the upper hand and victory was in sight At that time, he can always find an opportunity to escape, so there is no way to eradicate future troubles. In order to avoid him, I have to change an image and a color every day, but whenever I transform, he correspondingly changes into a confrontational image; Wherever I run to hide, he can always smell my scent and follow me there, causing me to be in danger all the time. That time when I turned into a white snake and fled to the mountains, he also turned into a black snake , tracked and chased him. When I was about to lose my strength during the battle, I was fortunate enough to be rushed to you and stoned him to death. I was out of danger. At that time, I said to you: "I have accepted your favor, and I will I will repay you.' This time I saw your two elder brothers murder you and throw you into the sea, so I have this opportunity to repay you. You have treated me as much as a mountain, and you should be respected by our whole family." Then she said to the concubine Said: "Mother, because he has saved your daughter's life, please respect him."

"On behalf of our whole family, I sincerely welcome you, an honored guest! Because you have done good things to us, you deserve our respect." After the concubine finished speaking, she rewarded me with a very valuable set of expensive clothes, some gold, silver and jewelry, and finally ordered : "Take him to the king." So I was taken by them to a hall, and I saw the king sitting on the throne.The guards around him were tall and heavily guarded.His clothes and crown are inlaid with jewels, gold and jade, shining brilliantly.When I saw him, I felt dazzled and dared not look straight at him.When the king saw me, he rose to meet me, and all his guards also stood up.The King welcomes me, blesses me, treats me with great respect, and bestows on me the most precious gifts.Later, the king ordered the guards: "You take him to see Princess Seodai."

The princess decided to send me back to the ship, so she carried me on her back and took the gift from the king to fly together. Besides, my two elder brothers just threw me into the sea, when the sleeping captain heard the noise, he got up and asked, "What fell into the sea?" My two elder brothers immediately cried cats and rats in fake mercy Said: "Our brother lost his life. He was swept away by the waves when he was defecating at the side of the boat, fell into the sea and drowned." Then they started to rob me of my property, and argued endlessly for the sake of the girl. , They said to each other: "This girl is mine, and no one can touch her."

The two of them kept arguing like this, and they had completely forgotten about my younger brother. Just when my two elder brothers were fighting for it, Seodai took me into the boat suddenly.When the two elder brothers saw me, they were quite surprised at first, and then they pretended to be very happy, and said naggingly: "My brother! How is your situation after the accident? We are very worried about you, thank you An La, you escaped and came back." "If you two really cared about him, or really liked him, then you shouldn't throw him into the sea while he's sleeping." Seodai answered the two brothers for me, "You two deserve death for your ugly behavior, Now I want your life, how do you two want to die? You can choose for yourself."

She said, grab my two brothers, and they will be executed. "Brother! Please beg for mercy on our behalf." The two elder brothers were terrified and begged for mercy loudly. In this situation, I had no choice but to intervene, and said to Seodai: "I beg you to forgive my two elder brothers with kindness, so that they will not die." "No, these two treacherous guys deserve death." Saioudai was determined to execute my two elder brothers, so I begged hard and repeatedly begged her for mercy and forgiveness, and finally she was moved by me, and she said generously: "For your sake, I will spare their lives. But spells must be cast on them as punishment."

As she spoke, she took out a cup filled with seawater and muttered a spell, then sprinkled the water in the cup on the two elder brothers, and said, "Get out of the image of a man and become a dog." With her voice, the two elder brothers really turned into two dogs. They are the two dogs His Majesty sees now. At this point, Abdullah turned to the two dogs and said, "Brother! What I have said is the truth, right?" The two dogs immediately lowered their heads and seemed to reply: "What you said is the truth." Theodai cast a spell on my two older brothers and said to the others in the boat: "You know, Abdullah Fazri is my brother. If any of you oppose him, I will kill him." Deal with him like you dealt with these two treacherous guys, turn him into a dog, be a beast for the rest of his life, and never stand up again."

"Master!" The people in the boat said in unison after hearing Saioudai's instructions: "We are all his servants, and we will absolutely obey him. Please rest assured." Before leaving, Seodai told me: "When you return to Basra, you must carefully check your belongings. If you find any shortage, please tell me immediately, and I will investigate for you; I will punish the thief in the same way. Use magic to turn him into a dog. In addition, when you return home, first collect your belongings, and then put a shackle around the neck of these two treacherous guys and tie them to the foot of the bed. And in the days to come Get up in the middle of the night every day to flog them, and you can’t stop until they pass out. If you don’t perform the flogging task according to the above requirements one day, I will flog you first, and then beat the two of them.”

After I understood what she meant, she left calmly. We arrived in Basra the next day. When the merchants saw that I had returned safely, they all came to see me and greet me. No one asked about my two brothers, but they were all surprised to see me with my two dogs. So someone asked, "What are you doing with the two dogs?" "In order not to feel lonely during this trip, I adopted two dogs, and now I brought them back by the way." My answer made them laugh, but no one knew that these two dogs were my two older brothers. On the day I came back, I locked the two dogs in the storage room. On the one hand, I was busy entertaining the visiting guests, and on the other hand, I was busy sorting and storing the cloth and belongings, so I was negligent and even forgot to put the dogs on a chain. Of course, he didn't perform the whipping task, so he hurriedly fell asleep.In the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up from my dream and saw Theodai, the daughter of the Red King, standing in front of me.

She asked me angrily: "You may have completely forgotten what I told you, and now I will punish you, because I always mean what I say." As she spoke, she grabbed me, pulled out a whip, and whipped me mercilessly until I fell unconscious. After punishing me, Seodai immediately went to the storage room where the two elder brothers were, beat each of them with a whip, and then said to me: "From now on, you must beat them like this every night. , if I don’t beat you all night, I will beat you like this tonight as usual.” "My lord! From tomorrow onwards, I will chain them both as you command, and flog them every night without interruption." I expressed my determination to her.She gave some more instructions on punishing her two elder brothers before leaving. The next day, I didn't dare to be negligent, so I immediately went to the craftsman and asked him to make two sets of golden shackles for me, put them on the necks of my two elder brothers, and imprisoned them according to Sioudai's instructions, and Since that night, the whipping task has been carried out reluctantly, and it has never stopped. It was the time when King Mehdia was in power, and I have always had a close relationship with King Mehdia, and I mainly contacted him by donating gifts, so he conferred a title and appointed me as the governor of Basra.During my time in power, whipping missions were performed consistently.Later, considering the time had passed, I thought that the time had passed, so I thought to myself: "Maybe Theodai's anger has disappeared!" So that night, I deliberately didn't hit my two brothers, but unexpectedly, Theodai went away again. He suddenly appeared in front of me and beat me hard.Her passion left a deep impression on me, which I will never forget.Therefore, from then on, I had to flog my two elder brothers without interruption, until the death of King Mehdia, and His Majesty succeeded him as King, and still appointed me as Governor of Basra, and it has been twelve years now.During this long period of time, I was forced to whip and confine my two older brothers every night. After the beating, I comforted them, apologized to them repeatedly, and gave them food and drink. I have kept this matter a secret from anyone.It wasn't until Ishag was ordered to go to Basra to urge me to pay the taxes that he discovered the secret and reported the truth to His Majesty.His Majesty sent him to Basra again, and told me to take them to Beijing.I have told Your Majesty the whole story today.Finally, I would like to emphasize that what I have mentioned above is all my own personal experience, and it is absolutely true, without any concealment or fabrication. After listening to Abdullah's narration, the caliph was amazed at what had happened to the two dogs and couldn't help feeling compassionate, intending to lend a helping hand so that the two dogs could return to their original appearance.So he said to Abdullah, "So much time has passed, can you now forgive the crimes committed against your two brothers?" "Your Majesty, may Allah have mercy on them both, and forgive them both in this life and in the next. In fact, I also need their forgiveness, because I have whipped them every night for twelve years without intention, and never Interrupted." "Abdullah, since this is the case, I will try my best to mediate in the name of Allah, first restore their true colors, then persuade them to tolerate you, and finally make your brothers abandon the past and spend the rest of your life lovingly. Now you take them back for the time being, don't hit them tonight, and tomorrow, there will be a satisfactory result." "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I still have specific questions to state. If I don't beat them tonight, Seodai will definitely come and beat me, and my body can't stand it." "Don't be afraid, I will arrange everything. Now I will write you a note first, and when she comes, show the note to her. I believe she will forgive you if she reads the note. If she doesn't If you follow my instructions and insist on beating you, you will have to rely on Allah to be patient for the time being. If the matter really develops to this point, that is, she insists on fighting me, then it is my duty as the Lord of the Peoples. I will deal with her, and I believe I can compete with her." The caliph gave such instructions, and then wrote a note with his own hand, stamped it with the imperial seal, handed it to Abdullah, and ordered: "Abdullah Rah, if Theodore comes to-night, show her this note, and do not be afraid. Tell her that it is I, the Caliph King of Men, who ordered that they should be beaten no more, and that to convince her, And wrote this letter to her." Abdullah followed the caliph's order, agreed to do what he asked, and returned to the apartment with the two dogs. He muttered to himself: "If the daughter of the god-king beats me against the caliph's will, I can only bear it." Let the two elder brothers rest for a night, and I am willing to bear the torture for them." He changed his mind and thought again: "If the caliph did not have a perfect plan, he would not ask me to lay down the whip." So he resolutely decided to release the two elder brothers shackles around his neck, and prayed silently: "Almighty Allah, I can only rely on you." Then he comforted his two brothers: "Bless Allah, you two will be free from misery from tonight. Don't worry, this is the king's caliph's grace and my long-cherished wish." After listening to Abdullah's words, the two dogs barked and wiped Abdullah's feet with their cheeks, as if to bless him, showing a humble and docile appearance. Seeing the expressions of the two dogs, Abdullah felt very pitiful, and could not help feeling pity and pity, so he stretched out his hand to stroke the backs of the two dogs, and stayed with the two dogs reluctantly until dinner time.When the waiter brought the food, Abdullah said to the dogs: "Eat and drink with me tonight, both of you."
