This variety of sounds excited his heartstrings. He was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself. He couldn't help but quietly walked to the door, stretched his neck and peeked inside.

Inside is a very spacious garden, magnificent and full of maids and servants. The luxurious atmosphere is like the palace and family of a prince. The breeze brought the fragrant smell of rich dishes. He could not help but salivate as he savored the tempting aroma.

Finally, he looked up at the sky and murmured: "My Lord! You are the Lord who created the universe and gave people food and clothing. You will give abundant food and clothing to whomever you are willing to give without hesitation. My Lord! Please! You forgive my faults and accept my repentance. My Lord! You are almighty and can do whatever you please, so no one can resist your judgment and power. My Lord! Praise you, let whoever you wish be rich; you Whoever you want to be poor, let him be poor; whoever you want to be noble, let him be noble; whoever you want to be humble, let him be humble. My Lord! You are the only master; how great you are! How authoritative! How well-organized! Servant! Whoever you want to enjoy, let him enjoy the favor as much as possible, just like the owner of this house, wearing silk, eating delicious food, and enjoying the glory and wealth of the world. In short, you control the destiny of people, so that some of them Running around and being poor, some are comfortable and leisurely, some are happy and lucky, and some, like me, are hardworking and humble all day long." Then he chanted sadly:

There are so many poor people in the world who have no place to stand and can only live under the shelter of others and enjoy the remaining shade.

I am one of them, exhausted, selling my labor all day long, and my life is getting more and more tortuous.

The burden on our shoulders is always increasing.

Others are happy, leisurely, and carefree, and have never lived a day like me.

They have plenty of food and clothing, wealth and honor, and enjoy themselves to the end of their lives.

Everyone is made of father’s sperm and mother’s blood. He and I are one, and there is no difference in essence;

But there is a gap between them, like the difference between wine and vinegar.

I'm not talking nonsense, just because you are a judge,

I hope you will judge fairly.

After the porter Tian Tongda chanted, he picked up the burden and was about to leave. A young servant with a handsome appearance, good posture and gorgeous clothes came out of the house. He took his hand and said, "Our master invites you. Are you welcome?" I tell you, come in with me."

The porter was about to refuse and didn't want to go in, but he couldn't refuse, so he put down his burden and handed it to the gatekeeper, and then went in with the servant.

I saw that this house was majestic and magnificent, and it was filled with a pleasant and solemn atmosphere. The people sitting at the banquet seemed to be all dignitaries; a variety of fruits, fine wines and delicacies from the mountains and seas were placed at the banquet. The fragrance of various flowers, mixed with the delicious food, is intoxicating and pleasant. Musicians and artists hold instruments and sit in sequence, preparing to perform stunts and show off their skills.

Sitting at the head of the table is an old man with all white eyebrows and eyebrows. He has a slim appearance and a dignified and serious manner. It is obvious at a glance that he is a pampered and well-off man.

When the porter Tian Tongda saw this scene, he was stunned and thought privately: "I swear by God, this is a paradise, or an emperor's palace." So he greeted and blessed them respectfully, knelt down and kissed the ground. Then he stood aside with his head bowed humbly.

The master invited him to sit beside him, talked to him cordially, expressed his welcome, and entertained him with the best food and drinks. Tian Tongda, the porter, recited the name of God and then ate and drank. After he had eaten and drank enough, he said: "Praise God, I am full!" Then he stood up, washed his hands, and then respectfully thanked the host. The master said to him: "We welcome you and wish you all the best and good luck. What is your name? What do you do?"

"My name is Tian Tongda, and I work as a pig carrier."

After hearing this, the host smiled slightly and said, "You and I have the same name. My name is Tian Tongda, the navigator. But I hope you can recite the poem you recited in front of the door just now."

Tian Tongda, the porter, felt ashamed and embarrassed for a moment, and replied angrily: "I swear to God, because I am tired, toiled, and poor, I am shameless and talk nonsense. Please forgive me, Master."

"Now that you have become my brother and sister, don't be shy, just sing it. Because I heard the poem you recited in front of the door and found it very interesting."

The porter Tian Tongda obeyed his master's instructions and recited his exclamation poem.

The master listened, admiring and moved. He said to him: "Porter, you have to know that I have had a strange experience in my life. I will tell you about the various encounters that happened before I obtained the position I have today and enjoyed this happy life. Because I am happy today. Life and the status you see here are obtained through countless hardships and thrilling struggles. I have been on seven sailing trips, and every time I encountered dangers during the journey, they were thrilling and unimaginable by others. Arrival. In short, everything is destined before death; there is no escaping what is destined before death.”

First sailing trip.

My father was originally a businessman. His business was very prosperous and he owned countless properties. He was always willing to do good things and charity throughout his life. He was one of the few wealthy businessmen and philanthropists at that time. I was still young when he died. The inheritance he left behind included a large amount of cash, houses, property, goods, etc.

After I became an adult, I managed my own property and lived a happy life. I ate delicacies from the mountains and seas, wore silks and satins, lived in high-rise buildings, made fair-wine friends and dandy children, spent money like water, and wasted money like water. At that time, I thought that my property was enough for my lifetime, so I didn't care and continued to live a squandered and luxurious life.

Later, I realized that I was in a coma, and I suddenly realized it, but it was too late. My environment and situation were no longer what they used to be, and all my money was spent. I was all alone, with empty hands, full of depression and fear, and was about to fall into despair.

At this time, I suddenly remembered what my father said about the great sage Ku Kong's legacy: "Three things are better than the other three: a death day is better than a birthday, a living dog is better than a dead lion, and a grave is better than poverty." So I Cheer up, collect the remaining furniture, clothing and property, auction them all, and get a total of three thousand gold coins as travel expenses, determined to make a long journey and run a business in a distant place.

Having made up my mind, I packed my preparations, bought the goods and necessary luggage, and decided to set off by sea. So I went to Basra with other merchants, set out in a boat, and sailed on the sea for several days and nights, passing many islands. Everywhere we went, we were engaged in business and sometimes bartered, and life at sea was very happy and interesting.

One day, I passed by a small island. The scenery was very beautiful and lovely, like a paradise, so the captain ordered us to berth on the shore, drop the anchor, and set up the gangplank. The tourists all left their boats to land, some carried pots and pans to light the fire and cooked, some were engaged in washing, and some went to enjoy the scenery.

Everyone was eating, drinking, and playing. While they were enjoying themselves and lingering, the captain suddenly shouted: "Passengers! For the sake of safety, you should get on the ship quickly. To save your life, throw away your belongings and return immediately. Come on to the boat. You must know: this is not an island, but a big fish floating on the water. Because over time, it has been filled with sand and soil, so grass and trees have grown up, forming the shape of an island. You light a fire on it Cook, it feels the heat and is already moving. As soon as it sinks to the bottom, you will be drowned. Throw away your things and get on board quickly."
