During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a magistrate surnamed Wang. He was in charge of a place, and he was quite fair.

However, the magistrate had a favorite hobby, that is, he liked to eat goose paws and sheep's heart.

Why is it a fetish? Because not only did he love the flavor of these two dishes, but he also enjoyed watching the excruciating pain of the geese and sheep as they were slaughtered.

There was once a Taoist who went to his house as a guest. After learning of his addiction, he tried to persuade the king's magistrate that he could not kill livestock in this way, or else he would anger the heavens and not get a good end.

But the magistrate only said, "Since they are livestock, they are eaten by people, so why talk about cruelty or not?"

The Taoist saw that he could not persuade him, so he stopped communicating with him. The king's magistrate did not think so.

Let's talk about how the magistrate killed the goose:

He ordered the cook to put the goose on top of the iron plate, and then use the iron cage to cover the goose inside, and then made a fire under the iron plate to heat it up.

As the iron plate got hotter and hotter, the geese would hide on the iron plate, and would also make a wailing sound.

When the goose's paw is hot and thick, the cook takes the goose out, cuts off the paw, and puts it on a plate.

Isn't that a cruel way to eat a goose?

And again, how does the magistrate kill the sheep:

He ordered the cook to tie up the sheep, then shave off the breastbone, and then take out the heart of the sheep to cook.

The only thing I heard was that the sheep was screaming. But Wang magistrate will be this as a theater.

Many of the servants could not stand the sight of this, and privately commented that the magistrate's practice was too cruel.

But they couldn't stop them, so they just let him do what he wanted.

One day, a white-bearded Taoist priest who traveled here came to the door of the magistrate.

This Taoist priest is full of immortal style, and looks like he knows that he is not a normal person. The king's magistrate is also very respectful to him.

The Taoist priest opened his mouth and said: "I have traveled here, and I heard that the magistrate has a hobby, which is to kill the geese and sheep. But your practice is extremely cruel, I have come here to persuade the magistrate to stop, but also for your own accumulation of some blessings. If the magistrate doesn't listen to me, then you're on your own!"

He is a county magistrate, the Taoist priest out of words, the heart is born to resist.

He put down the respectful attitude, tilted his head to the Taoist priest and said: "You do not have a high-ranking official, I am at least a party of the parents of the official, but you threaten to speak with me, in vain, this body of your immortal style of the Taoist bone!

That the Taoist master smiled faintly, shook his head, no further words and then walked out of the king's mansion.

Not far away, the Taoist priest will be transformed into a clear wind floating away.

Wang magistrate is still my way, less than half a year, Wang magistrate body began to birth sores. The sores on the palms of his hands, his feet, and the front of his chest were particularly serious.

He invited all the famous doctors in the neighborhood, but the condition did not get better. Then he became bedridden, and the pain that tore at his heart and lungs made it difficult for him to sleep or eat.

He often tossed and turned on his sleeping couch and suffered a lot. A few months later, he saw the immortal Taoist priest in his dream again.

"You have brutally killed countless livestock, and this is your bad karma. I was kind enough to persuade you, but you were bent on having your own way, and today this is what you deserve."

In his dream, Mr. Wang begged the Taoist priest many times, but he didn't pay any attention to him.

When he woke up, the magistrate died.

The servants said that the death of the magistrate was due to the fact that the magistrate had killed too many animals.

Everything has a spirit, although they are livestock, but Wang magistrate such behavior is too cruel, ended up in such a fate, it is their own fault due to.
