After Han Xin was tricked into the Weiyang Palace and killed by a trap set by Empress Lu and Xiao He, his ghost lingered, full of grief and anger, turned into a ball of black smoke, and went straight to the Zhenru Taoist Temple in his hometown to fight with the Taoist. Discuss the merits and seek justice.
The Zhenru Taoist Temple was built in the early years of the Qin Dynasty. It is surrounded by peaks, ancient trees and bamboos, and is lush and green. There is always an endless stream of people visiting and performing Hajj, and they have left a lasting legacy and rich cultural heritage. There is a main hall in the temple, with a plaque hanging saying: "There are few faults and no faults." There are couplets on the left and right, which say "the water of wisdom dissipates the fire of the heart" and "the wind of benevolence sweeps away the world". The Taoist priest inside the temple has white hair and a beautiful face, and has an immortal spirit. He is over a hundred years old. I was sitting on the futon in the palace meditating when I saw a cloud of black smoke slowly rolling in from the distance. I hurriedly counted with my fingers and realized that it was the ghost of Han Xin who came to disturb me. I smiled slightly and waved the dust fly in my hand towards the door. , sternly scolded: "Where are the wandering ghosts, dare to come and disturb the Taoist temple!"
The black smoke was frightened by the Taoist priest's majestic flames, and Han Xin's lonely soul did not dare to rush in, so he had to stop at His Highness, faintly He said: "Taoist Master, please calm down. I am the Marquis of Huaiyin, Han Xin. Because he was unjustly killed by Empress Lu and Xiao He, I have a lot of unsolved problems in my heart. I came here specifically to pray to the Taoist Master for answers to the riddles."
The Taoist Master chuckled. , "Since the Marquis of Huaiyin is here, please give me some advice."
Han Xin replied sadly and angrily: "I have heard since I was a child that the Taoist master has great supernatural powers, boundless magical power, is good at judging yin and yang, and can know the past and the future. Therefore, in 10 When I was 36 years old, I asked the Taoist priest for advice and asked him to calculate the number of years I would live next. The Taoist priest said that I was 66 years old, but now I died at the age of 36. Who on earth shortened my 30-year life expectancy? If there is any injustice, Han Xin will definitely go to heaven to complain!" The Taoist priest shook his head repeatedly and sighed: "Marquis Huaiyin, don't you really understand? What? The person who shortened your 30 years of life is not someone else, but you yourself!" Han Xin was shocked when he heard this, "Wow! What the Taoist said is wrong, how can you do it in the world? Someone who has lost his life span?"
The Taoist priest smiled, "Yeah, this is really unreasonable! It's ridiculous that there are people like this in the world, who obviously have lost their life span, but they still keep doing it. It's so sad to be kept in the dark!"
Han Xin became more and more confused and urged: "Master, there is no need to pretend to be mysterious, let's solve this mystery!"
The master nodded! , "Yes, what you hear is false and what you see is true. I will give you justice!" After that, he waved the whisk in his hand, and saw a white light flashing past, turning into an illusory illusion. Han Xin returned to His own youth——
When he was a teenager, Han Xin came from a very poor family. His parents were dead and he was alone, begging from door to door, and lived a miserable life. That night, Han Xin lived in a ruined temple in the wild. Just after falling asleep, I heard two people whispering outside the temple. One of them exclaimed: "Yesterday, the rich man Wang from Dongzhuang went to the funeral and unintentionally chose an excellent Feng Shui land. His descendants will surely be prosperous and live a long and prosperous life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another one But his voice took over the topic and he actually showed off: "This is a Feng Shui treasure land. It is rare and strange. Not long ago, I discovered that the loess hill on the bank of the Xilian River is really a perfect Feng Shui treasure land! This hill is surrounded by water. Hug, hide the wind and gather energy. If someone is buried on this hill, his descendants will definitely be crowned as marquises and honor their ancestors." Han Xin was eavesdropping with great interest when a small insect suddenly got into his nostrils! , couldn't help but sneezed loudly. Then, the voices at the door suddenly stopped. Han Xin hurriedly ran out of the temple and looked around, but saw no one, so he couldn't help but shuddered. Could it be that two lonely ghosts were chatting here just now? Because I was scared, I never fell asleep again. It wasn't until dawn that he walked out of the ruined temple and strolled to the bank of the Xilian River. Sure enough, he found the loess hillock. It was really a treasure land of good Feng Shui, showing his royal aura.
After Han Xin looked at it carefully, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity. It's a pity that my Han Xin's parents died early when he was young. Otherwise, I would have buried them here. Isn't it only me, Han Xin, who deserves this honor as a general?" Before he finished sighing, another thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "Although my biological parents are dead, can't I no longer be recognized as my godfather and godmother? If I bury my godfather and godmother in this geomantic treasure land in the future?" , Can't I, Han Xin, still be prosperous?"
Han Xin really opened his mind after thinking about it, and he quickly remembered the lonely blind old woman in the village, wasn't she the one he was looking for? He immediately made up his mind and ran into the blind old woman's home. He knelt down in front of the old man and shouted: "Mother-in-law, the gods asked me, Han Xin, in a dream last night to worship you as my godmother and serve you as my godmother." For life. From now on, I will be your godson!"
The blind old woman recognized a godson out of thin air, and she was so happy that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. From then on, mother and son depended on each other and supported each other. Although life was difficult, Han Xin served his godmother very filially and had a good reputation in the countryside.
That night, Han Xin suddenly picked up his godmother and walked out of the village, saying that he wanted the old man to go to the town to listen to books. The godmother was so unhappy that she praised Han Xin for his filial piety. Unexpectedly, Han Xin carried her back and forth on the hillock. After explaining his intention with a smile, the godmother was so angry that she trembled all over and scolded Han Xin for being a heartless beast. She would definitely meet him in the future. Suffer retribution for sin. But in this deserted wilderness where the heavens and the earth didn't respond, even if the poor blind old lady screamed, it was of no avail. In the end, Han Xin threw her alive into a pit that had been dug and buried her. Moreover, this kid also erected a stone tablet in front of the grave with the words "Tomb of Han Xin's Mother" written on it.
Later, everything turned out to be true. After Han Xin defected to Liu Bang, he was strongly recommended by Xiao He, built an altar to worship his commander, and quickly helped Liu Bang pacify the world. On the day when the King of Han ascended the throne, Han Xin was indeed made a prince and became rich and powerful...
When Han Xin's ghost witnessed this scene in the past, he couldn't help but trembled in his heart and asked in a trembling voice: "Excuse me, Master, is it possible?" Does such a mistake take away 30 years of my life, Han Xin?"
The Taoist snorted: "Burying my godmother alive only takes away 10 years of your life, and there are two other sins. !" After that, he waved his whisk, and another phantom came towards his face——
After Han Xin buried his godmother alive, he joined the army under Xiang Yu and became a halberd-bearing guard. He thought that Xiang Yu had underestimated him, so he was depressed and frustrated, so he deserted. In order to improve military discipline, Xiang Yu personally rode his horse to chase the "deserters".
Han Xin was exhausted from being chased by Xiang Yu. He hid under a large bluestone and wanted to catch his breath. Suddenly, a stream of liquid poured down from the top, making him feel very ashamed. Han Xin looked up and saw a child standing on the big bluestone, peeing condescendingly. Han Xin was immediately furious and cursed, "It's unlucky for a person to have a mouthful of cold water and his teeth are blocked!" I deliberately wanted to teach this kid a lesson. On second thought, he resorted to the trick of "killing someone with a borrowed knife". He coaxed the child with a smile and said, "Little devil, you are so smart! Someone will pass by here soon. You can urinate on his head again." They will give you sweets!”
The child believed it and stayed there. When Xiang Yu, who was chased after him, chased him under the big bluestone, the child really peed again from above, and it was soaked in water. Xiang Yu's head. Xiang Yu suddenly became furious, his eyes widened with anger, and his roar was like thunder. He actually drew his bow and arrow, and shot the child to death with just one arrow...
After Han Xin's ghost relived this fantasy, he finally After realizing this, he sighed repeatedly: "It turns out that this prank has shortened my life span by another 10 years, but I still have 10 years to live, so I have to give me an explanation!"
The Taoist priest smiled coldly and scolded sternly. : "This prank is also a human life!" With a wave of dust, another illusion appeared - after Han Xin became the commander, he once led his troops on an expedition. Passing by a certain place, he found that two brothers were separated and worried about the uneven distribution of a basket of oil. . In front of the basket are a 7-jin oil gourd and a 3-jin oil gourd. Han Xin had an idea and divided the basket of oil between the two brothers on the spot. In fact, the two brothers did not want to separate their families, but just wanted to reconcile and become a family again on the grounds of unfair division of oil. Unexpectedly, Han Xin's many incidents really separated the two brothers. Naturally, he did something immoral and his life was undoubtedly shortened by another 10 years.
At this point, Han Xin’s ghost was silent.
It turns out that it was these three immoral things that shortened my life span of 30 years. It is really incredible! After a long time, he finally realized something, and sighed with regret: "Oh, no wonder the saying goes: Don't do anything bad for a human being, there is a god with your head three feet up! It seems that the sky has eyes, and will supervise right and wrong, right and wrong! Think about it! I, Han Xin, lost 30 years of my life because of it, and now it’s too late to regret it!”
