Legend of "God Fish"

According to legend, a long time ago, there lived a skilled old Taoist priest in Tian Xuanting, Luxi, who was called "Tang Shenxian". The immortals of the Tang Dynasty were all knowledgeable and talented when they were young. However, they experienced a lot of ups and downs in the imperial examination, and there was no way to get into the imperial examination. The immortals in the Tang Dynasty saw through the corruption and darkness of society and were cynical. They chose the paradise-like Shen Alu ancient cave to hide their architectural and practical enlightenment. The kind wife insisted on sending him meals for many years and begged him to go home and live. The wife's fiery feelings can't melt her husband's frozen heart, and dead wood can't sprout new buds. One day, immortal Tang said to his wife, "I appreciate your kindness, but the world outside the cave is really unbearable." Today, we learn from this fish bone. If the fish survive, I will continue to breed in the cave. If not, I will follow my wife's orders and go home. "Say that finish, the fishbone was thrown into the water. In an instant, the fishbone turned into a transparent fish that shook its head. The locals regard it as a "magic fish".

The story of the treasure jar:

Once upon a time, there was an old uncle, whose family was very poor and lived by farming on the hillside. On this day, he went up the hillside early and waved a hoe to dig the ground. Digging and digging, I heard a bang and the hoe hit something. Strangely, the old uncle squatted down and dug up the loose soil, only to see a small water tank inside. It seems that many years have passed.

He thought, the family is too poor to put rice, so take it back and put rice.

He continued to hoe the ground until it was getting dark before he picked up the small water tank and went home. Although the old man is busy on the hillside all the year round. The food stock at home is really pitiful, only a small bowl is left, only enough for him to eat for one day. He poured this small bowl of rice into the small water tank and went to busy collecting tools. When dinner was ready, he went to the small water tank and scooped up a small bowl of rice. To his surprise, when he finished scooping a small bowl of rice, a small bowl appeared in the jar. He is scooping, but it is still a small bowl, and it will always be a bowl of rice. Then he understood that what he found was not a small water tank at all, but a magnificent treasure chest.

Old uncle, don't mention how happy you are. He distributed the extra rice to the villagers in the same village so that they could all eat their stomachs.

It soon reached the ears of the rich Wang Man Pippi. This guy is full of bad water. He hypocritically ran to his uncle's house and asked him to sell him the treasure chest. The old uncle won't be fooled by him. No matter what his conditions are, he just doesn't agree to sell. The king flayed his skin and was furious. The next day, he rushed into his uncle's house with a bunch of lackeys, trying to steal the treasure chest.

The old uncle angrily raised the treasure chest and said, "I will never let you take it even if I smash it!" " "

Wang Pipi was afraid that the old uncle would really do that, so he had to take the dog away. But he refused to give up at all and lay in bed.

After three days of searching, I finally came up with a bad idea. He first complained to a wicked man and went to the county grandfather to say that his uncle had robbed his treasure jar. The county grandfather ordered the old uncle to be brought into the county town together with the treasure jar. In fact, the county grandfather became interested as soon as he heard that it was a treasure chest. He tried to put a gold ingot into the jar and took out ten gold ingots from it without much time. Don't mention how happy you are. He pretended to be serious and asked the old man whose cylinder this was. The old uncle told him that he dug it from the hillside.

Wang skinned to one side and shouted, saying that the old uncle hit their house and stole it.

The county grandfather suddenly struck the table and said loudly, "Neither of you is right. This jar is mine. " Say that finish, let the men put the old uncle and tortoise skin out of the county.

The treasure jar was sent to grandpa's home. Grandpa's father heard of this miracle and took a gold ingot to try. County grandpa wanted to help his father get it. The old man thought his son was slow, so he pushed him away and rushed to get it himself. I didn't expect him to push too hard and turn over the treasure chest at once. County grandfather quickly pulled out his skill, took out a father, and another one appeared in the cylinder; Pull it out again, there is another one inside; One * * * pulls out ten dads.

The county grandfather was dumbfounded and jumped with anxiety: "Which one of you is my biological father?"

Ten old people said in unison, "I am your biological father!" " "

Then they quarreled with each other and said that they were true and others were not. Finally, they simply fought, and they heard a bang, and the treasure chest on the side was broken by them. County grandfather really lost his wife and soldiers. Instead of getting the treasure chest, he got ten dads.
