Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Once upon a time, in the yamen of Fengdu County, Sichuan (a legendary ghost town), there was a servant named Ding Kai. He was a loyal and honest man, and his family was poor. His wife has been dead for many years, but he is unable to remarry.

One day, he was assigned by the county magistrate to go to Kuizhou (now Fengjie County, Chongqing City) to deliver official documents.

When passing through the Gate of Hell on the way, I saw a stone tablet standing on the road ahead with the words "Yin and Yang Realm" written on it.

Ding Kai walked under the stone monument and watched it for a long time. Unknowingly, he walked to the other side of the boundary monument.

When Ding Kai realized that he had crossed the boundary and wanted to return, he found that he had lost his way and could not go back.

He had no choice but to walk aimlessly.

After a while, Ding Kai walked to an ancient temple.

When I walked in, I saw that the sculptures of gods had begun to peel off and looked dilapidated. Next to it stood a statue of a Minotaur, covered in thick dust and covered with cobwebs.

Ding Kai felt sorry for this statue. Seeing that there were no monks in the temple, he stepped forward and used his sleeves to brush away the dust and cobwebs.

After leaving the ancient temple, Ding Kai walked forward for more than two miles when he suddenly heard the sound of running water in front of him and a large river blocked his way.

There was a woman washing vegetables by the river. The color of the vegetable is dark purple, the leaves are messy and the roots are intertwined, and it looks like a hibiscus.

Ding Kai took a closer look and saw that the woman turned out to be his deceased wife.

When the wife looked up and saw Ding Kai, she was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Why are you here, husband? This is no longer the human world!"

Ding Kai told his wife how he accidentally walked through the "Yin and Yang Realm" and then got lost again.

Then he asked his wife where she lived now. Why are you working here?

Then asked her what kind of dishes she was washing? Why haven't I seen it in the earthly world?

The wife answered one by one: "After I died and came to the underworld, I was married to the Minotaur Ghost, a soldier of King Yama. The family here lives under the locust tree in the west of Hexi.

What I am washing is not some kind of dish, but an embryo that is going to be reincarnated into the human world, which is the legendary ‘Purple River Car’.

If the person is washed ten times, he will be handsome and wealthy after reincarnation; if he is washed two or three times, he will be an ordinary person; if he is not washed, he will become a dull, incompetent, poor and chaotic person after reincarnation.

The King of Hell assigned this matter to the management of the many bull heads under his subordinates, and I was helping my husband clean them. "

When Ding Kai learned that the Minotaur was in charge of reincarnation, he asked his wife, "Can your husband help me return to the earth?"

The wife said: "I can't make the decision on this. I have to wait for my husband to come back to discuss it. However, I was once the wife of my husband, and now I am the wife of the Minotaur. The old and new husbands are together, and I feel embarrassed to speak!"

The two chatted for a while. After the wife finished washing the "Zihe cars", she invited Ding Kai to sit at her house, chat about family affairs, and ask about the recent status of relatives, friends and old friends.

Ding Kai arrived there and not long after sitting there, he heard someone knocking on the door.

Ding Kai knew it was her husband who had come back and felt very scared, so she ran and hid under the bed.

The wife went to open the door, and when the bull-headed ghost came in, he habitually took off his own bull's head and put it on the table.

Ding Kai, who was hiding under the bed, suppressed the fear in his heart and looked over secretly. It turned out that what the Minotaur Ghost took off was just a mask.

After the Minotaur took off his mask, his appearance, speech and behavior were just like ordinary people.

He said to his wife: "I'm so exhausted! Today I accompanied King Yama and tried dozens of major cases. I was standing all the time and my back is sore. Madam, please pour me some wine and have a few drinks with me."

Suddenly, the Minotaur seemed to feel something, and said in surprise: "Why is there the breath of a living person in the house?!"

My wife knew what was going on and couldn’t hide it any longer.

He walked to the bed and pulled Ding Kai out from under the bed.

Then the wife knelt down, kowtowed to the Minotaur, told the whole story, and interceded for Ding Kai, hoping that the Minotaur could help Ding Kai return to the world.

The Minotaur thought for a moment and said, "I can save him! But not just because you were his wife, but he was also kind to me!

My statue in the temple was covered with dust and cobwebs. After he saw it, he helped me wipe it clean. It can be seen that he is a loyal and kind person.

But I don't know how long he will live. If the Yang life is over, there is no way to go back to the Yang world.

I will go to the judge tomorrow and secretly check the book of life and death to see what is recorded on it, and then decide what to do! "

As soon as he finished speaking, the Minotaur invited Ding Kai to sit down and the three of them drank together.

After a while, the wife brought the dishes to the table.

Just as Ding Kai was about to take the chopsticks to pick up vegetables, the Minotaur Ghost and his wife hurriedly snatched them away and said to him: "It's okay for you to drink ghost wine, but you can't eat ghost food. If you eat, you will stay here forever and will not be able to return to the earth." ”

So Ding Kai listened to their words and only drank wine without eating vegetables. The guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

The next day, the Minotaur went out early and came back in the evening.

As soon as he entered the door, he happily congratulated Ding Kai and said: "I went to check the life and death book of the underworld today. Your yang life is not over yet. You just entered the underworld by mistake, so you can still return to the yang world. There is more to be happy about." Yes, I happen to have an errand to get you out of the Yin and Yang Realm."

As he spoke, a piece of red meat suddenly appeared in the Minotaur's hand, and it also exuded a rancid smell.

He mysteriously said to Ding Kai: "I'll give this to you. You can keep it and make a fortune from it!"

Ding Kai didn't understand why, how could a piece of rotten meat make him rich?

He asked out of curiosity what he could do to make a fortune.

The bull-headed ghost explained: "This piece is the meat on the back of Zhang, a rich man from Henan. Zhang has many evil deeds and serious sins.

The king of hell sent people to catch him to the underworld, hooked his back with an iron hook, and hung him on Mount Tieshui. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, the flesh on his back ulcerated and the iron hook fell off, so he was able to escape.

Zhang is now in the human world. He has malignant sores on his back and is in terrible pain. He has called in countless doctors, but they can't cure him.

When the time comes, go over and treat him. Don't worry that you don't have medical skills. You just need to crush this piece of meat and apply it to his injury, and it will heal immediately.

In that case, he will definitely thank you profusely! "

Ding Kai was very happy and thanked him again and again. Then Ting wrapped the pieces of meat tightly in oil paper and stored them well on his body.

Immediately afterwards, he followed the Minotaur Ghost out of seclusion. As soon as he stepped out of the Yin and Yang Realm, the Minotaur disappeared quietly.

Ding Kai immediately rushed to Kuizhou to deliver official documents and pay official duties. Then he rushed to Henan.

When I went there to inquire, I found out that there was a rich man named Zhang who suffered from malignant sores on his back and could not be cured for a long time.

Ding Kai came to the door and treated him according to the method taught by the Minotaur Ghost. Sure enough, he recovered instantly.

Zhang was overjoyed and rewarded him with five hundred taels of gold.

Ding Kai used this reward to build houses and buildings, marry a wife and have children after returning home. Lived a happy life from then on!
