During the Northern Song Dynasty, a child in his teens lived in a village, who was disabled in his legs and died of both his parents.This child is not only lonely, but also has a very difficult life, and even lives by charity or begging for his neighbors.There is a river in front of this village, and villagers and passers-by need to wade through the water, especially the elderly.Whenever the riverbed rises, it is even more inaccessible.But year after year, no one wants to change it.Only this child picks up stones every day and piles them by the river.When people saw it, they asked the child why he picked up stones and piled them by the river.The child replied that he should build a stone bridge to facilitate walking in the neighbors.Everyone disagreed and thought that the child was talking crazy, so most of them laughed it out loud.
But over time, year after year, stones piled up into hills.The neighbors began to change their understanding and were moved by the child's spirit, and devoted themselves to the actions of picking stones, quarrying and building bridges.
The neighbors invited craftsmen to start building the stone bridge.This disabled child is devoted to it.The bridge has not been built yet, but the child blinded his eyes in a stone chisel.People regretted and resented God for being unfair and said, "Oh, such a pitiful child is devoted to everyone, but he has brought such retribution."But the child himself had no complaints and was groping every day to do the work within his ability at the bridge repair site.
After everyone worked together to get down the bridge, they finally completed their cultivation.While everyone cheered and celebrated, they all cherished Ling.ApologizeHis eyes were focused on the lonely child who was originally disabled on one leg but now blind.Although the child could not see anything, his face showed the happiest smile in his life.
Soon, an unexpected heavy rain seemed to wash away the dust and make the stone bridge strong.But after a deafening thunder, everyone found that the child had been hit by the thunder and fell to the ground and died.Everyone was shocked, and then the uncontrollable emotions erupted, sighing that the child was in a difficult life and accusing the heaven of unfairness...
At this moment, Bao Zheng, the prince of Bao Zheng, who is called Master Qingtian, happened to be here.The people stopped the official sedan chair and shouted for justice for the children.Asked the Prime Minister: Why can't good people be rewarded? How can good people do good things in the future? Bao Xiangye, who is so popular in the world, was inspired by the emotions of the villagers. He wrote a quick letter, wrote the six words "I would rather do evil than do good" and then left.
When he returned to the capital, Bao Gong reported to Emperor Ming about his own inscriptions along with his experiences and experiences.Because even though I do good deeds for that child in my heartBad retributionI was puzzled by the matter, but after thinking about it twice, I still felt that the six words like the title were inappropriate.Unexpectedly, after the emperor retreated, he insisted on pulling him to the harem to say something private.It turned out that a few days ago, the emperor added a new dragon son.The little prince is very popular, but he just cries all day long.So the emperor specially asked Mr. Bao to take a look.Bao Xianggong saw that the child's skin was as snow as snow, and there was a line of words on his tender and white little hands.When I looked closer, I saw that it was the six words I wrote, "I would rather do evil than do good."His face suddenly turned red to the base of his neck, and he quickly reached out to wipe it off.It doesn’t matter if Bao Xianggong reached out to wipe it, and the handwriting on the little prince’s arm instantly disappeared!
Interestingly, the six words on the prince’s hand are words in Bao Zheng’s eyes, but in the eyes of others, they are just birthmarks.When the emperor saw that the birthmark on the prince's hand was erased by Bao Gong, he was afraid that the blessing root would be erased, so he refused to refute to scold Bao Zheng.Bao Zheng quickly knelt down, saying, "The criminal should die", and then told the whole story of the inscription he wrote on his anger.The emperor felt something was strange and ordered Bao Xianggong to use the Yin-Yang Pillow to go to the underworld to find out.
Bao Xianggong's pillow and the Yin and Yang pillows go to the underworld for a trip, and the truth is revealed.It turned out that the child did many evil things in his previous life and had a great sin.To repay the sins in that lifetime, you will need to repay the evils in three lifetimes.God originally arranged that he was lonely and lonely in the first life with a disabled body; he was blind in the second life with his eyes but lived in the third life with his corpse stormed in the wilderness.That child's first lifeReincarnationPoverty and disabled, but he is worried about repentance and just wants to do good things for others.So God let him return his karma for one life and two lifespans.It made him blind.But the child does not blame others, but just does good deeds for others silently.God also took his third life karma for the rest of his life, so he killed him by thunder.The King of Hell asked Bao Zheng, "Is it good or bad to return evil karma in three lifetimes?" He returned evil karma in three lifetimes. Because he devoted himself to good deeds, he only thought of others in his heart and did not consider himself. In some aspects, he has reached the state of "not practicing Taoism is already in the Tao" and has accumulated a lot of virtue. Therefore, after his death, he immediately reincarnated as the current crown prince and enjoyed the blessings of the emperor.
Doing good deeds does not show good deeds, and there are shortcomings in previous lives.Doing evil will not show evil, and you will have extra virtue in your previous life.
