Not daring to say a word, the eel hid in the inner bend of a hunchbacked ghost and sneaked into the Chakravartin Palace. The hunchbacked ghost walked to the large table where the Chakravartin King distributed the reincarnation certificates. The eel ghost suddenly jumped out and appeared under the eyes of the Chakravartin King. He turned over and wagged his tail and said, "Your Majesty, I am bowing to you and begging for your permission to be reborn as a human being."
The King of Chakravartin was about to send the reincarnation invitation (also known as the reincarnation invitation) to the hunchback ghost. When he saw the eel, he suddenly remembered that it had been classified as a four-legged animal. How could it escape again? Then he yelled: "How dare you, why don't you go back and support the four-legged animals?" Otherwise, I will ask you to suffer the pain of being steamed again in the next hell of soup and fire.
The eel argued: I want to be reborn to avenge my mother. My mother and her many unborn eels were all steamed to death by that mother. The Wheel-turning King had no intention of listening to its defense, saying that he knew all these situations. Then he stood up and said sternly: You will have to reincarnate for many lives in the animal realm before you can hope to be reincarnated as a human body.
The eel was dissatisfied and furious. The Wheel-turning King became angry and waved his sleeves, and the ghost of the eel disappeared.
It turned out that it was thrown into the category of four-legged animals again, but the difference was that its soul disappeared and it had turned into a crocodile. The ghost soldiers grabbed it and threw it towards the sea.
At this moment, there happened to be a pair of crocodiles in the sea, making small waves in the lingering joy of squawking and beeping. It followed the industry and turned into an embryo in the belly of a female crocodile.
Soon it was born and swam in the sea. It stayed relatively safe with its crocodile mother. That time, it followed its mother to a shallow water, lay down to bask in the sun, and then slowly fell asleep. It was almost trampled to death by a huge hippopotamus that rushed over. It was its mother who saved it. She was very shrewd and opened her mouth. With its big mouth, it fights the approaching hippopotamus. The hippo was frightened and turned around and dived into the water.
Unexpectedly, a few weeks later, the little crocodile grew up, and it gradually turned into a bloody hunting career. Turtles, seahorses, sea fish and other small creatures in the sea were devoured by it one by one.
Once, it provoked a seal. The seal didn't seem to be afraid. It adopted a tactic of avoiding the real situation and attacking the weak. It circled around its tail and bit it with its sharp teeth. The crocodile turned its head in pain and tried to devour the seal. The seal cleverly bit its tail and held on. When the crocodile swung its body, the seal was always out of reach of the crocodile's head.
Water splashed several meters high on the sea surface, and was seen by a fisherman on a wooden boat in the distance. The fisherman was of medium build, chubby, and about thirty years old. He quickly rowed the boat over and saw seals and crocodiles fighting. He took a long-handled iron fork and waited for the opportunity to get closer, trying to kill them and catch a pair. Because seals and crocodiles are valuable animals, their market value is high.
When the seal was fighting with the crocodile, it also discovered the fishermen on the wooden boat. It quickly gave up the fight and dived into the water to avoid becoming prey of the fishermen.
The seal left, and the crocodile was shocked. It was slower than the seal and had not noticed the fishermen paddling the wooden boat closer. When it raised its neck and looked around with its bulging pebble-like eyes, it realized that it was standing on the wooden boat. fisherman, it wanted to jump up and pounce on him to eat him. Why do you hate fishermen so much? Because in the past life, it was an eel roe in the belly of an eel before it was born, so my mother was fished out by an old fisherman with a fishing net, and then brought home and cooked by an old woman. This incident has never been forgotten, and it should have been forgotten, because it died once. It is said that the souls of dead people go to God Meng Po to drink the Forgetting Soup. After drinking the Forgetting Soup, all the things in the previous life will be lost. Everything is forgotten. However, eels are reincarnated in the animal realm, and the ghosts after death are not qualified to drink a sip of the forgettable soup. Therefore, the things experienced in the previous life, especially the memorable things, are unforgettable.
Now the crocodile hates people and wants to eat. But when he sees the fisherman holding a long-handled iron fork in his hand, he shrinks back in fear and dives under the water to escape like a seal. Otherwise, a head-on collision on the water will not only be difficult to hurt the fisherman, but will also help the opponent. Once he becomes the prey of the fisherman, even the flesh and skin will become his profit-making capital.
Seeing that the seals and crocodiles had fled, the fisherman waited for a while. The sea was calm and the waves did not appear again. He felt a little disappointed. He put the long-handled iron fork on the sampan and continued to watch the sea.
Suddenly, the sun was setting in the west, and the sea surface seemed to be plated with gold. It was easy to dazzle the eyes when looking at it. The fisherman squinted his eyes and still felt uncomfortable. This discomfort made him fearful. If a big shark or crocodile suddenly appeared on the bright sea surface at sunset, it would be difficult for him to detect it. If it was difficult to find, he would be easily attacked. So, the fisherman picked up the long-handled iron fork to encourage himself, freed up one hand to shake the oar, and let the wooden boat row on the sea with lighter sunset light. He slowly rowed into the bay and took out a basket of fish from the cabin. Anchor ashore.
An old man with a white beard waiting on the shore called him a navy and asked what he had gained. The navy put the fish basket away and said that the harvest was not big, and then told the story of encountering a fight between seals and crocodiles, but unfortunately not a single one was caught.
It has been more than ten years since then, and things have changed. The navy used to be thin, but now he is fat, and he has a family and a career. The old man's beard has changed from green and white to completely white, and his forehead lines are denser and deeper. After hearing what the navy said, the old man sighed and said: It is more cost-effective to get a crocodile or a seal than to catch a thousand kilograms of ordinary raw seafood. But it’s also quite dangerous. If it’s not done right, fishermen may become the prey of crocodiles or seals.
The crocodile, which swims in the sea and hunts small creatures, has grown up, and its body has grown from less than one meter to about one and a half meters. The stronger it becomes, the more surly it becomes. It will abscond when it sees a large ship on the sea. It can correctly estimate its own capabilities, not those behemoth opponents. But every time this happens, it remembers the tragic situation of its mother being hunted by an old man in the past life, so the arrogance of hatred fills its entire body, wishing it could find the old man and devour it in one gulp to avenge the past life. But it didn't see the old man appear again. It seemed that it couldn't control it. It made a leap in the sea and turned up a huge wave about ten feet high. This huge wave spread in the air and fell on the sea, trembling. Tuan Weilan.
In fact, this has no effect. The old man cannot feel at all that there is a crocodile seeking revenge and waiting for an opportunity to devour him. This crocodile is just a way to vent his emotions. After that, it calmed down, raised its head, and stared at the sea, as if the old man would appear soon. It grinded its ring-shaped sharp teeth, and then opened them toward the sky, as if it was preparing to eat the old man. fully prepare.
At this time, the old man was also thinking about how to go to sea to catch a crocodile or seal. He walked among the crowds in the market, and walked, and walked, and came to the door of a restaurant. The hot buns that had just come out of the cage inside were so eye-catching that they almost made him salivate. He also happened to have some Feeling hungry, I asked the seller for four hot buns and sat at the restaurant table to eat them. After eating two, a crippled man with a cane approached him, his bulging eyes almost jumped out of his head when he looked at the hot buns.
The old man always showed pity to beggars, let alone a disabled beggar who could not take care of himself. Of course he looked disgusting, but the old man's dislike of him was diluted by his own kindness. He took a fixed look at the beggar and took the food he was about to eat. Picked up the other two buns and handed them to him.
