Chapter 208: Do many evils, never supersede(1/2)
"One Bridge" and "Naihe River".
This is a well-known land on this "Yan Luo Hill".
Many years ago, it was just a cliff and no bridge.
Many mountain people who want to hunt on the opposite mountain must circumnate to the bottom of the mountain and then climb to the opposite side, which is very tiring.
The mountain people wanted to build a bridge, but no one understood how to build such a suspended bridge.
Every time they walked to this cliff, they could only look at the stream under the cliff and sigh.
Therefore, the name "Naihejian" was found.
Later, a teacher came to a village at the foot of the mountain.
He was a kind-hearted man, and it was not easy for the people who were wise, so he spent all his money and invited craftsmen from the capital to build the suspension bridge.
The mountain people cheered and surrounded the gentleman to the cliff.
They asked the gentleman to walk up the suspension bridge first and look at the Qin scenery at the foot of the mountain.
The gentleman was also very happy, so he recited a poem on the spot, which contained the sentence "This is the place of bliss, how can you be alone?"
So, the bridge also has its name - "One Bridge."
In order to thank the gentleman, the mountain people erected a monument on the edge of the cliff, recording the gentleman's kindness in detail, so that it can be passed down to future generations.
Not long afterwards, a wealthy businessman from another place came to the village.
It is said that there is iron and stone underground in this village, which is worth a lot of money, so he wants to buy it all and excavate it.
The mountain people have lived here for generations, relying on this acre of three-point land to support themselves. After selling it, what can I use to settle down?
No one wants to.
The rich businessman was so angry that he found a large group of thugs to beat and intimidate the villagers, and said that if they did not move away, they would burn the village all over with fire.
The mountain people were simple and afraid of trouble, and no one dared to speak out.
Only the teacher stepped forward and took the villagers to deal with the wealthy businessmen, which made the wealthy businessmen look dirty. After a long time, they still failed.
Finally one day, the wealthy businessman decided to compromise.
He found the teacher privately and said that he was making an appointment to discuss and find a way to compromise.
The place for discussion was arranged on the cliff in front of this "Naihejian".
That night, the teacher went there alone as agreed.
Unexpectedly, the wealthy businessman had already arranged a thug, and when the husband arrived, he beat him up and tortured him.
The rich businessman even went up in person, picked up the stick, and broke both hands of the gentleman.
Then someone threw the bloody gentleman down the Naihe River.
The next day, the mountain villagers found that the gentleman was missing and were about to look for him.
The rich businessman brought a large group of thugs into the village and forcibly demolished all the houses in the village. All those who dared to resist were beaten to death.
The wealthy businessman finally got what he wanted and drove all the mountain people out of the village and turned into displaced refugees.
Then, he asked someone to dig out all the land in the village, as well as the ancestral tombs, and began to dig out his iron and stone.
The iron stones were dug up one after another and sold them, and the money came, and the wealthy businessman was very happy.
One day, he was in great interest and walked back and forth on this "alone bridge".
When he returned to the edge of the cliff, he saw the stone tablet. The monument was engraved with red words and also wrote about the gentleman's kind deeds.
The rich businessman gritted his teeth and said, "This old thing will never disappear after death."
He immediately asked his entourage to bring iron tools and wanted to push the stone tablet down.
But it was strange that no matter how hard they tried, the stone tablet was like it was growing there, without moving at all.
Finally, the wealthy businessman asked someone to go down the mountain, and called a large group of stoneworkers to come up, and used all kinds of digging guys.
Then finally the stone tablet was pushed down and moved to the edge of the cliff.
The rich businessman was so proud that he finally got rid of his "heart disease". He walked up and wanted to kick the stone tablet under the cliff.
At this moment, something strange happened.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the falling stone tablet suddenly stood up.
The red characters on the monument turned into a pool of blood, which instantly covered the entire monument, as if it was a sea of blood.
Two bloody arms stretched out from the sea of blood and hugged the rich businessman.
A trembling voice, with a crying voice, rang out on the monument:
How to be alone...
No one is here to accompany you...
The rich businessman was so scared that he was shattered and struggled desperately to shout for help.
The followers next to him were frightened, and no one dared to save him.
The cold wind suddenly broke out!
The stone tablet, bloody hand, hugged the wealthy businessman's wealthy body, floated up and fell down the cliff!
ah……
The shrill cry gradually disappeared, and only the surging sound of water came from the bottom of the cliff.
Later, the people who dug and quarrify in the village were so scared that they all ran away, and no one left.
No one dares to covet this land.
After hearing this, the displaced mountain people all returned to the village. After they hugged their heads and cried, they suddenly remembered the strange thing that happened on the cliff.
This is the gentleman who showed his soul and helped us.
We cannot forget his great kindness, we must find his body back and be buried in peace.
Thinking of this, the mountain people immediately traveled through mountains and rivers and went to the edge of the water stream at the bottom of the cliff.
There, they saw a scene that was stunned.
The stream water is surging and rushing.
On the shore, he lay there well, wearing the usual coarse cloth gown, without any bloody wounds on his body, and was spotless.
His eyes closed lightly and his expression was peaceful, as if he was asleep.
Next to him was the stone tablet, which was intact. However, the red characters on the stone tablet disappeared, as if something had been erased, completely clean.
The mountain people were all surprised.
It took a long time before someone remembered the body of the bully and wealthy businessman?
That guy fell down with this stone tablet. Logically speaking, it should be nearby.
Everyone searched everywhere but found nothing.
Then everyone quickly carried the husband's body back, found a treasure land in the village, specially built a large tomb, and buried it in a grand burial.
Later, the wealthy businessman's family also came to find the unscrupulous businessman's body and wanted to use it for burial.
But they searched all the upstream and downstream of the Shuijian, but the body of the rich businessman was not even found.
So people say that this is really evil and will be punished.
God lets all good people be buried, and evil people are not allowed to be reborn.
The more the villagers think about it, the more grateful and awe they feel.
They built a temple in front of Mr.’s tomb and worshipped Mr. as a “god”.
People from dozens of miles around gradually heard about this and came to worship. The incense in the temple was endless.
There was also the stone tablet, which the villagers also put back on the cliff and specially invited a nearby scholar to re-enter the words for it.
The great scholar heard about this strange story.
He stood by the cliff bridge, looked into the earth from afar, recalling the past, feeling infinite emotion.
He wrote a couplet on the spot and carved it on the stone tablet until today:
After doing good deeds for a long time, I will enjoy the ultimate happiness in this place
Do many evil deeds, never be born after crossing this bridge
This means that when those who do good things come here, they can enjoy the beauty of the scenery. When those who do evil walk on this bridge, they will never be reborn.
Is that true?
In this world, there are so many evil people who are incredible and good people cannot die in a good life. Do you know?
Dugu Tai looked at the couplet, snorted, and walked onto the suspension bridge.
The wind is strong in the mountains, and the bridge is shaking.
