At that time, the family god who also had supernatural powers knew that his mistress, sister, was unfilial to her parents, so he expressed his position and said, City God, you will see my actions soon. The City God is no ordinary person, he has even greater magical powers. After listening to the family god say this, you will understand. The city god said, "Okay, we will give you the task of punishing the mistress of your family who pretends to be filial but is really seeking personal gain."
So, the family god who returned home cast a spell on a newly planted tree in his yard, so that when his sister tried to get the gold bars, when she shook it, the leaves all over the tree turned into bricks and tiles and smashed down, causing her sister to be seriously injured. , even after taking herbal medicine for half a year, I still didn’t recover.
What's even more unfortunate is that her sister, who was not ugly at first, became ugly due to facial injuries. Her husband didn't like her, so he found reasons to divorce her the next year. One of the obvious reasons is that she is not filial to her parents-in-law and often quarrels with them.
The King of Hell told this story very concisely and concisely, so that all the sentient beings in the underworld here can understand it at once.
At this time, Shi Zaitian, who was listening very seriously, felt a little tired, so he swallowed one of the two calming pills left in his body. Suddenly, his tiredness disappeared, he felt refreshed, and he seemed extra energetic. Together with all the beings in the underworld, they applauded the King of Hell who had finished telling the story.
When the applause stopped, the King of Hell smiled slightly, and combined with the story of "Hiding Meat to Filial Piety", he talked about the importance of giving, saying that whether people are rich or not, the most important thing is giving. There are many kinds of giving, including giving of wealth, giving of Dharma, and giving of filial piety. Give alms and so on. Wealth and poverty can be transformed, and the reason for transformation is whether one is generous or stingy.
The sister in this story was originally rich, but because she was too stingy in filial piety, she even refused to give alms to her parents. When she found out that her sister was hiding meat to honor her parents, she considered honoring her parents once too.
But she demonized the way of honoring her parents and deliberately threw fish and meat into the latrine, thinking that by following her sister's example, she would get a treasure tree that would drop gold bars when shaken. She was seriously injured and disfigured, making her look hateful, and she was divorced by her husband.
In this way, the elder sister went from rich to poor because she was too stingy; the younger sister went from poor to rich because she was willing to give alms. Generally speaking, it is not easy for people in this world to change from poverty and humbleness to wealth and wealth. There are some, but not many. In most cases, being kind and charitable in this life will lead to a wealthy life in the next life.
Speaking of this, the King of Hell told another example to prove it. That is the filial son whom the world has seen with his own eyes. It is said that there was a mother in Xinghua Village who was blind, his father died young, and his only son was a cripple with both hands. But he was also a well-known filial son. Due to the poverty of his family, the son had to go around begging on crutches to make a living every day.
What is admirable is that no matter what he asks for, whether it is too much or too little, he will first send it back to his mother to eat before eating it himself. Although he is also a disabled person, he takes care of his mother in every possible way, even excreting, peeing, mending, washing and cleaning everything. Do it all, and have no regrets, and are very filial.
After more than ten years of this, his mother suddenly passed away. He exchanged his only thatched hut with a wealthy family for a coffin for his mother to sleep in. After his mother was buried, he had no place to sleep, so he lived in a broken kiln near the back of the village.
That day, the sky was filled with dark clouds and thunder and lightning. On his way back from begging for food, this filial son was suddenly struck to death by lightning and lay on the road. The villagers raised money to bury him. Before the burial, everyone in the village burst into tears. Some said that he was a filial son and should be protected by God. Even if he was not protected, he should not be struck to death by thunder.
A young man named Mu Fu looked at the corpse of this filial son and sighed, God is unfair! And he took out a pen and wrote the words "Unjust" on the palm of the filial son's left hand.
Sixteen years later, Mu Fu went to Russia to study. One day, he came to a professor's house for business. The professor had a son who was at home, looking polite. Without giving the professor's orders, he made tea for Mu Fu. When the tea was brought over, the son held the tea in both hands to show respect for the foreign dignitaries.
When the son carefully placed the tea cup on the coffee table in front of Mu Fu, his hands gently let go, looking very elegant.
Mu Fu, who knew how to close the scene or observe, suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and it could be said that his soul was touched. Guess what Mu Fu saw? Mufu did see something. Mu Fu, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly stood up and said to the young man, "Put your left hand over and let me see."
The young man was a little shy and glanced at the unsmiling professor - his father. His father nodded, and then he stretched out his left palm in front of Mu Fu and said in the poor Dongtu language, Sir, are you looking at the four characters on my palm?
right. Mu Fu replied and looked carefully at the four characters on the young man's left palm. Immediately, a dutiful son who was struck to death by a thunder in his hometown village of Dongtu Kingdom 16 years ago came to mind. The four words on the left palm of the dutiful son were written by him.
At this moment, he took out a pen and paper from his bag, spread the paper on the coffee table, and wrote the same four words with his hand. I showed it to the professor's son and he was very surprised. How come the writing methods of these four characters are exactly the same as the writing methods of the four characters on my left palm?
At this time, the professor also came over, picked up the piece of paper with four words written on it with one hand, and took his son's left palm with the other hand to look at the four words on it carefully, and then nodded repeatedly. He also said to Mu Fu in Russian that the four characters on my son's left palm were born from a viviparous state. It's incredible. I even thought that my son must have been from your Dongtu country in his previous life. Otherwise, why did he have four characters on his left palm? What about the word Dongtuguo?
possible. Mufu also answered in Russian. Then he asked the young man if he could recognize the four Chinese characters for "东土国" on his left palm.
Yes, I can still pronounce these four Dongtu characters. The young man immediately converted the Russian he was speaking into Eastern Mandarin: God is unfair, isn't he?
right. Mufu affirmed in Russian.
The young man resumed speaking his native language. I didn't know these four words, but my father taught me them.
Yes, I taught him. The professor looked at Mu Fu and said, What a coincidence, the four words "viviparous" on his left palm were written by you.
Mu Fu laughed and continued talking without saying more. But I thought to myself: Could it be that the lame filial son who was struck to death by lightning was reincarnated as the son of this professor in Russia?
Having said this, the King of Hell said in a positive tone that the professor and Mu Fu's conjectures were correct. The Russian young man was indeed the reincarnation of the lame filial son of the Eastern Kingdom. He was born into a professor's family and belonged to a wealthy family in Russia's upper class.
In this way, the fate of the lame dutiful son in the past life changed. Maybe you have questions, he is a filial son respected by everyone, why did the thunder strike him to death? Isn't this unfair? In fact, the laws of heaven are fair, and God took pity on him and aimed to change his destiny.
What happened was that the kitchen god of this filial son's family wrote a memorial about his touching filial piety deeds, and asked the Emperor of Heaven to use his divine power to save him. The Emperor of Heaven led the gods to the Nantian Gate to observe the filial son's behavior in the lower world, and found that he had indeed worked hard to establish various good virtues and Yin Gong, which was highly praised by the world.
The Emperor of Heaven then went back to the palace with all the immortal officials to discuss, and believed that in order to change the fate of this filial son, he must first have a healthy body, and then send the God of Wealth to help him make a fortune, get married, have children, and prosper the clan, which is a beautiful thing. thing.
However, after discussing for a while, the gods all thought that this method was not feasible. The reason was that the filial son was a flesh and blood body, which was limited by his own prerequisites and was not easy to be blessed. For example, his legs were on crutches and he was a severely disabled lame. Even if God could help him, he would not be able to save his life.
At that moment, the Emperor of Heaven suggested that the filial son should be reincarnated into a wealthy family as soon as possible and become a man with a strong body and a promising future. However, an immortal official raised objections, saying that the filial son's lifespan has not yet come and will not come soon, so he can only be allowed to survive this life and reincarnate in the next life to live a good life.
At this time, another immortal official frowned and said, "I think it's easy. I suggest sending a divine general down to earth to absorb the soul of the filial son as soon as possible. He will die soon, and then let him be reincarnated into a wealthy family." .
Then some of the immortal officials agreed, and some put forward some different opinions in the agreement, saying that this method is good, but it only hurts the filial son. The filial son has lost his soul, and it will take about half a year to die of illness. How unbearable half a year is! A filial son has no relatives. If he is sick at home, no one will take care of him.
I suggest that he should not be allowed to die in a sloppy manner, but should die happily. Another immortal official sneered, will death be pleasant? The immortal official who just expressed his opinion said that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. You can get rid of the pain for a while. What's wrong with it? There is still such a saying in the world.
All the immortal officials turned their attention to this immortal official. He preached loudly like a poem, and the phoenix was reborn from the ashes.
What I love makes sense. The Emperor of Heaven approved. After hearing these words just now, he seemed to be inspired. He immediately thought of a pair of divine generals in the heaven who could summon wind, rain, thunder and move the wind vigorously, and he called out, "Mother Xuan Lei, Male Lightning, come to the temple." Suddenly, the same voice came from inside the hall to outside the hall - Duke Xuanlei and Mother Lightning came to the hall.
After a moment, the Duke of Thunder and the Mother of Lightning came to the front of the palace one after the other. They all clasped their fists and saluted, and then asked, "What is the emperor's order?" The Emperor of Heaven said that I ordered the two gods to go to the lower world to use wind, rain, thunder and lightning to absorb the soul of the lame filial son of the Eastern Land Kingdom and ensure his reincarnation, but they cannot strike him with thunder and lightning like a bad guy. Can this be done?
Lei Gong said he obeyed. Mother Dian shook her hand and spoke slowly. Looking at the Emperor of Heaven, he said, "Forgive Mother Dian for speaking bluntly. The Emperor of Heaven has given orders. How can a little god disobey it?" I just want to ask the Emperor of Heaven, if that lame dutiful son is captured by us and ends his life in this world, where should we send his consciousness to be reincarnated? As a filial son, he can naturally be born into a human body. There are three, six or nine levels of human beings with different blessings and longevity. What level should the lame filial son be born into? How much happiness and longevity should it deserve?
The Emperor of Heaven was stunned for a moment. What Daqing Qingdian Mother said made sense. Why couldn't he let the lame dutiful son bear the bad reputation of being struck to death by a thunderbolt, and on the other hand, let his undead souls wander everywhere after his death, with nowhere to go? It was like that. It was painful for him.
So the Emperor of Heaven subconsciously opened his eyes, looked over the world from east to west, south to north and around the world one by one, and finally set his sights on a family on the Russian land adjacent to the Eastern Kingdom. It was discovered that a newlywed wife of this family was pregnant, and many infant spirits came to her doorstep, eager to enter the woman's body, recognize her as a mother, and reincarnate to raise a fetus.
However, the door god and family god of this family tried their best to stop it, thinking that the spiritual merit of each infant was too shallow and not worthy of being the descendant of their family. It turns out that this family belongs to an official family in the upper class, and the husband of the newlywed wife is the youngest professor at Moscow University.
After the Emperor of Heaven learned about this situation, he smiled and immediately told the God of Thunder and the Mother of Lightning that if the two generals absorbed the consciousness of the lame and dutiful son, they would give it directly to the God of the West. When the time comes, won't it be enough if I assign the Divine Lord of the West to go to the Eastern Land to support you?
Lei Gong once again cupped his fists and saluted, and muttered: God's grace is great, the little god will remember the Emperor's instructions and must complete his mission.
Mother Dian also cupped her fists and saluted, and the little god had another word to say to the Emperor of Heaven.
The Emperor waved his hand and it was accurate!
Mother Dian said, why bother bothering the God of the West? Can't I directly escort the lame son's consciousness to the young professor's house in Russia, and reincarnate his daughter-in-law as his mother? The Emperor of Heaven does not know that the little god was a midwife in the mortal world in his previous life! Escorting infant souls to recognize their mothers and be reborn is still my specialty!
The Emperor of Heaven did not answer immediately, appearing to be very democratic. He asked His Highnesses in a soliciting tone, "Do you agree with what the Mother of Lightning said?"
