Chapter 189 Chapter 27 Dragon Boat Festival Exorcising Evil

"Can you lose your life if you are lazy?" I was dubious. The smoke immediately reached the filter tip. Grandpa still took a puff, then pressed the filter tip with his thumb and middle finger, flicked his fingers lightly, and the filter tip flew out.Grandpa licked his lips, as if reminiscing about the smell of the cigarette just now. He said: "Didn't the Seven Fairies tell him that cooking one rice can keep him from starving for a month. But that lazy Dong Yi thought it was too troublesome to cook one rice a month, so he just poured out all the rice in the small bag at once." Put it into the pot. After cooking like this, a mountain of rice was cooked. Dong Yi was so happy that he simply sat on the mountain of rice, ate and slept, and ate again when he woke up. He lived like a pig. If he ate like this When you get old, it's okay, and it won't arouse the hatred of Seven Fairies and Guigu."

"Cause the hatred of Seven Fairies and Guigu?" "Yes. Dong Yi was afraid of the sun and night dew, so he dug a hole in the rice mountain and lived in it. Unexpectedly, the rice mountain was loose, and he crushed the lazy Dong Yi to death in the cave. When the seven fairies heard about this, they hated Guigu. His teeth were itching, and he complained to the Jade Emperor. When the Jade Emperor heard what the seven fairies had said, he immediately patted the dragon case and said that there is such a powerful person in the mortal world who can guess everything in the sky without any errors. !"

When I heard the story, I no longer believed it was true.However, many myths may not be myths in the mouth of the first person, but things that actually happened.But through word of mouth, in order to attract the attention of the audience, the story became more and more exaggerated, and finally became a myth.For example, "this is not bad" is a common catchphrase that grandpa often used when telling ancient stories. Obviously, neither the Seven Fairies nor the Jade Emperor would say "this is not bad".While I don't believe in the truth of this story, I do believe that it was not the case in the mouth of the first person.When the first person tells this story to the second person, it may be slightly personal, but it will not cast a strong mythological color on it.

Perhaps the true face of the story is: Guigu did reveal the future to someone who came to ask for help, but good intentions may not lead to good deeds, and that person got into trouble and died because of it.The man's mother sued Guigu.That person may not be called Dong Yi, and that person's mother may not be Seventh Fairy.Perhaps during the transmission of this story, the storytellers subjectively substituted the names of Dong Yi and Seven Fairies. Grandpa continued to speak with undiminished interest: "So, the Jade Emperor sent the Dragon King of the East China Sea to Guigu to find out the truth."

I also found many similarities in the following plots in other stories, which reminded me that there are eight characters in the titles of many TV dramas, "If there is any similarity, it is purely coincidental." Grandpa said: "The Dragon King of the East China Sea thought to himself, I don't believe there is such a powerful mortal who can calculate everything. After the Dragon King found Guigu's residence, he stepped outside the door and in the door, and asked Guigu , Guigu, Guigu, you can count everything, so do you figure out whether I want to enter the door now or go out? Guigu said, I said you would come in if you wanted to go out, and you would come in if I said you would come in. I just want to go out, so I won’t talk about this, I will calculate the rainwater in our place for you.”

"Dragon King thought, the thunder and lightning are controlled by the father and mother of thunder, but the rain is controlled by me, the Dragon King of the East China Sea. I would like to see how you count the rain in Guigu. So the Dragon King of the East China Sea said, then you will calculate the rain for tomorrow. Right. Guigu calculated with his fingers, and replied, tomorrow, the shallow water in the city will run a layer, and the rainstorm outside the city will fall three liters. The Dragon King was surprised, this is exactly the rain order given to him by the Jade Emperor, and this mortal actually said it exactly. gone."

"Dragon King thought about it, I just want to run a layer in the shallow water outside the city. The torrential rain in the city will fall three liters, and then you will be embarrassed. The Dragon King smiled and said to Guigu, if tomorrow is not like this, you will never be in Guigu again." Let others pinch it again. Guigu nodded and agreed. The next morning, the Dragon King ran a layer of shallow water outside the city, and the torrential rain fell three liters in the city. After finishing this, the Dragon King hurried to find Guigu, forcing Guigu to stop pinching. .” "Guigu yelled at Dragon King Dao. Rain is a major event related to people's livelihood. Although you are the Dragon King, how can you adjust it without caring about people's livelihood! Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has been a prosperous age, and the weather has always been good. You deliberately turned the rain upside down, and countless crops outside the city died due to lack of water, and countless people were drowned in the floods inside the city. You are in a catastrophe, and you still come to trouble me, Ghost Valley."

"Why am I in such a catastrophe? The Dragon King is puzzled." "Gui Gu said that there is a minister named Wei Zheng in front of the emperor. He is a true god who is very concerned about the suffering of the people. He specializes in killing evil and harmful ghosts and gods. This time you have caused so much pain to the people. He will not spare you. When the Dragon King heard it, Immediately, he was so frightened that his previous aura was gone, he quickly asked Guigu to help solve the problem. Guigu sighed and said, Wei Zheng is different from other people, even the real dragon emperor wants to give him three points. It is impossible for him to let you go Yes. But you can beg the empress dowager, the mother of the current emperor. The empress dowager is a kind person, and she may agree to help you. The Dragon King asked, how can the empress dowager help me?"

"Guigu pointed out that Wei Zheng only drives away evil spirits during the Dragon Boat Festival, so it is enough to ask the empress dowager to keep Wei Zheng on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon King thanked Guigu and hurriedly asked the empress dowager for help. The empress dowager agreed. By the time of the Dragon Boat Festival On the day of the festival, the Empress Dowager deliberately summoned Wei Zheng to play chess with her in order to restrain Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng did not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager's will, and played chess with the Empress Dowager for a whole day. Seeing the evening, Wei Zheng lay down while resting in the middle of the game. Fell asleep on the chessboard."

"Seeing that Wei Zheng was asleep, the empress dowager dared not wake him up, for fear that he would remember the matter of the Dragon King when he woke up. After a while, the empress dowager saw that Wei Zheng's face was rolling with sweat. The empress dowager thought that Wei Zheng had a fever, so she slapped him out of kindness Three fans. After three fans, Wei Zheng woke up and kowtowed to thank the empress dowager. The empress dowager was puzzled. Wei Zheng said that the minister chased and killed the Dragon King of the East China Sea in his dream, but he couldn't catch up after a long time. He was panting When he was dripping with sweat, three gusts of precious wind suddenly blew to help him catch up with the Dragon King and cut off the Dragon King's head."

"The empress dowager sighed, regretting it too late." Grandpa stopped.I asked, "Is this the end?" Grandpa said: "Since then, Guigu has no longer been calculated by others, but taught this method to a few blind men, and entrusted these blind men to teach other blind men so that they can make a living."
