Back then, in the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, there were individual families in Youzhou who had been doing business for generations. The ancestor of this family started a business and accumulated virtue, and the descendants continued to multiply, and the current head of the family is named Ma Zhongwen, and gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Ma Dalang, the second son Ma Erlang, and the third son Ma Sanlang. The three brothers are all handsome and intelligent. They inherited the family business, took care of the business, and became familiar with the local business. Ma Zhongwen watched his three sons take care of the family and prosper, and his heart was very happy. At the dinner table that day, Ma Zhongwen raised his wine glass and exclaimed: "The children and grandchildren of my Ma family are all shrewd and capable, and they run the family business like a cloud. Haha, good, good! Ma Dalang said in a humble manner: "Father, this is all your teaching, we promise that you will share weal and woe, and we will definitely carry it forward!" ”
When the Ma family's business was in full swing, a strange thing happened - the three brothers died violently one after another! And without warning! Ma Zhongwen tugged at his sparse white hair and cried bitterly. He stood up tremblingly, slapped the table with indignation, and his eyes were resolute: "I must find an explanation for my sons!" "There is a goddess in the village who is very powerful, and Ma Zhongwen invited her to come to the house with a generous gift. The goddess burned paper money, played the drum and played the piano, and recited words in her mouth. Suddenly, her eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Ma Zhongwen with a wary expression. Ma Zhongwen asked anxiously: "Granny Wang, how did my sons die?" Please! The goddess Wang muttered: "Master Ma, with a sincere heart, summon spirits and ask questions, and do not be abrupt; The rebirth of injustice is easy to attract wind and rain. Ma Zhongwen choked up and said, "I understand your hard work!" also bluntly told each other, how did they die? Mrs. Wang said slowly: "According to your son's statement before his death, they coveted power and wealth, secretly trafficked human beings, and had many inhumane deeds. Bringing retribution to life! As a father, you can't escape the blame! Ma Zhongwen was stunned when he heard this, and sat on the ground, self-blame and shame made him unbearable. The girl Bai Xue was born bright and moving, and she was very intelligent. Ill-fated, he was abducted and trafficked by the Ma brothers and imprisoned in a gloomy cell. Bai Xue went on a hunger strike, and the three brothers tortured her to force her to comply. Bai Xue smiled dumbly and vowed not to give in. Her unbending pride turned into a long moaning and pain, and it was shattered in this eternal night. Before she died, she stared at the three brothers with resentful eyes, and the curse turned into a ghost, and she was tightly entangled.
The three brothers were sallow-faced, in a trance, and panicked all day long. Their ears seemed to echo Bai Xue's complaints, and in their dreams they were all resentful eyes. The three brothers lingered like the walking dead for a few days, still haunted. Finally, in the middle of a stormy night, a golden light suddenly pierced the hearts of the three brothers and took their lives! Wang Shenpo said that there is a definite number of life and death, and only with justice in the heart can the root of resentment be eliminated. Ma Zhongwen is honest and upright in his life, and he should not bear the obstacles. Therefore, Bai Xue's soul only entangled the three sons and dispersed, and Master Ma was blessed by righteousness. Ma Zhongwen's tears rained down, he had never done anything bad in his life, how did he fall to this? Fate made people, his son went down the evil road, and it also caused him to experience the ups and downs of life! After the three Ma brothers died violently, the family business was unmanaged, and the business collapsed! The Ma family's savings are rapidly depleted, and they see that the family property is about to be realized to pay off debts! On this day, several creditors came to the door to collect money, shouting and shouting. Ma Zhongwen had no long body, pointed to the spiritual position of his eldest son and cried bitterly: "Da Lang, you have done evil! My family is ruined! "
Ma Zhongwen couldn't sleep all night, but his mind was unusually calm. He decided to donate the last bit of his family's savings to atone for his sins. The next day, Ma Zhongwen came to the local ancient temple. He knelt down at the golden body for a long time, and his body trembled. Then he delivered two beautiful packages to the benefactor, which was his entire savings in this life. The strange story of the violent death of the three brothers and the destruction of the family soon became a good story among the villagers. Some people say that it was the Ma brothers who abducted and trafficked people and suffered retribution, some people said that it was Bai Xue's soul who asked for his life, and more people tacitly agreed that it was caused by Ma Zhongwen's inspiration. There are many versions of these legends, but the general meaning is to warn the world: if you do many evils, you will be punished in the end! Under Ma Zhongwen's diligent support, Bai Xue's soul gradually found a way to exceed. Late one night, Ma Zhongwen saw a girl in white standing on the lotus platform in a dream, radiating a clear light all around her. "Donor, my sins have been relieved and I have been reborn! The girl was overjoyed and radiant. Ma Zhongwen burst into tears and knelt down in front of her. All kinds of intricate fates and sorrows, at this moment, the gorgeous curtain call, Ma Zhongwen's heart rose with relief, after the wind and rain, he will see a rainbow, he believes that his sons can also pass away, and all kinds of rise and fall in the world will eventually be light and light.
