During the Wu Zetian period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a scholar surnamed Xiang in the small mountain village, who married a wife and took a concubine, but he never had children, which made his parents sad to death, and he has always been bored about this matter. He used to ask for medicine everywhere, but to no avail.
On this day, the scholar surnamed Xiang was walking on the river beach, and suddenly a white crane flew in front of him, landed in front of him, and began to speak. I only heard it ask, "Hi, scholar, let me ask you, what do you think I look like?".The scholar surnamed Xiang was stunned, looked at Bai He in surprise, and asked, "Why do you speak?"”
"I have been practicing for hundreds of years, but anyone who cultivates, whether it is an animal or a plant, can speak when he reaches a certain age. The scholar with the surname nodded and said, "I see, you are begging for a seal, right?"Bai He nodded and said, "Exactly." The scholar with the surname said, "I see you like a crane." The crane danced happily on the spot, and after a moment it asked, "I want to repay you and fulfill one of your wishes”
The scholar with the surname spoke of his hardships and said, "I want to have an heir." Bai He closed his eyes, stood on one leg, and after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "You were originally a prosperous family, and the reason why you have no heirs now is because your grandfather's grave is buried in the wrong place, you hurry home and find someone to move the grave." The scholar with the surname said suspiciously: "How can you move the grave casually, you have to tell the specific reason." The white crane spoke in detail.
It turned out that Mr. Feng Shui was clumsy and regarded a desperate cave as a normal tomb. This tomb looks normal at first glance, but its special feature is that there is a snake nest under the tomb, which sucks away the yang energy of the tomb, so it will cause the Xiang family to not be able to give birth to children. Mr. Feng Shui can't be blamed for this, because mortals can't see through the ground, only the immortals they practice can see it.
The scholar with the surname asked, "Where is the best place for me to move my ancestral grave?"Bai He said, "Any place is better than that, just move away." The scholar surnamed Xiang was about to walk away, but the white crane stopped him and said, "When moving the grave, if you encounter a snake, don't kill it, remember it." With that, the white crane flew away.
The scholar surnamed Xiang returned home and told Bai He about begging for a seal, and the family asked him to call his relatives and friends to prepare for the relocation of the grave. In the evening, they took their hoes and went to the cemetery to take out the coffin. At this time, 9 small snakes came out of the tomb, and the people exclaimed, raised their hoes and beat them.
By the time the scholar with the surname remembered Bai He's advice and hurriedly stopped it, he had already killed 4 small snakes, and the other little snakes had disappeared into the grass. They carried the coffin and buried it in another tomb.
After a few months like this, the wife and concubine were happy at the same time and became pregnant. When the period expired in October, they each gave birth to a big fat boy, which made the Xiang family very happy.
But, strangely, both children were born sick, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The scholar with the surname guessed that this was related to the killing of the little snake when moving the grave?So I decided to go to the old Taoist chief and ask.
When he arrived at the Taoist temple, the scholar surnamed Xiang talked about the doubts in his heart, and the old Taoist chief smiled and said, "I can't tell if there is a relationship between this." But what I do know is that as long as people do more good deeds and accumulate more blessings, disasters will naturally disappear, and evil spirits will not invade, and this method is all-powerful. ”
The scholar with the surname nodded, returned home, and told his family. The wife said: "Lao Pan at the end of the village, both husband and wife are sick, and the family is so poor that they can't open the pot, you send them money and food, you are doing good." The concubine said, "The wooden bridge on the river in the west of the village is dilapidated, and people often fall into the water when the water rises. The scholar with the surname did as he was told, and after a while, the two children were no longer sick.
Later, the scholar with the surname had a total of 5 children, his wife gave birth to 2 sons and a daughter, and the concubine gave birth to a son and a daughter. As for the 5 children and the 5 little snakes that ran away, it is unknown whether there is a connection between them.
The scholar with the surname insisted on doing good deeds, and by the time he died, he had done a total of 99 good deeds. All five of his children grew up healthy, and all three of his sons later became prosperous. When he was dying, he regarded doing good deeds as a family style and wrote it into the ancestral teachings, and his children and grandchildren insisted on doing good deeds, and the Xiang family became a prominent family in this area and prospered for hundreds of years.
The old Taoist chief is right, doing good deeds to avoid evil is omnipotent. As the saying goes, don't ask about the future when you do good deeds, if you do more good deeds, good fortune will naturally come. Don't ask why I have done good deeds and good fortune has not yet comeIn fact, no disease, no disaster, peace and security, isn't it a blessing?This story adopts an absurd penmanship, which is to use facts to illustrate and persuade the world, and has nothing to do with feudal superstition.
