The five hundred and fifty-first chapter, Mazu
The locals asked Mazu to relieve the harm, and Mazu said, "Disasters are caused by people's accumulation of evil. Since the monarch intends to relieve the harm for the people, I should pray for the blessing of heaven." So he burned incense and prayed. Suddenly, the wind began to rise in the sky, and a dragon flew away by the clouds, and the sky was clear.
That year, the people also received a good harvest. People were grateful to Mazu, so the local officials sought merits from the monarch and were sure to receive praise.
One day in the autumn of Mazu's sixteen years old, when his father and brother drove a boat across the sea to the north, strong winds and waves were caused on the sea, and the ship was damaged, and the situation was critical.
At this time, Mazu weaving cloth at home, suddenly closed her eyes and supported the loom with all her strength. Seeing this, her mother hurriedly woke her up. When Mazu woke up, she accidentally dropped the shuttle on the ground. Seeing that the shuttle fell on the ground, Mazu cried, "Father is saved, and my brother is dead!"
Soon someone came to report that the situation was true. After my brother fell into the sea, Mazu accompanied his mother to search for it. Suddenly, he found a group of aquariums gathered on the turbulent sea surface. Everyone was very worried. Mazu knew that it was the aquarium who was ordered to welcome her. At this time, the sea water became clear, and his brother's body floated up, so he transported the body back.
After that, every day on Mazu's birthday, before fishing crisscrossing Meiyu at night, dawn dispersed, and this day became the day for local fishermen to take a break from boats.
One year, a plague prevailed, and the whole family of Master Guan also contracted illness. Someone told him that Mazu had the power to solve problems.
So, Master Guan personally invited Mazu. Mazu remembered that he was not bad at ordinary times, and he was a foreign official, so he told him to boil the Jiujie Cangpu water and take it, and put the spell at the door. After Master Guan returned, he followed the instructions and soon the disease was cured.
There are two monsters, Jiaying and Jiayou, who often appear and harm the people. One day, a passenger of the ship was caused by a monster and the ship would sink.
When Mazu saw this, she turned into a cargo ship and went to rescue the victims.
When Jiayou saw the cargo ship coming, he immediately came to chase the cargo ship. Mazu recited a magic spell and subdued it.
Jiayou immediately kowtowed and accepted his guilt. Mazu took him into the Shuique Immortal Class. In order to subdue Jiaying, Mazu used a plan and walked alone on the mountain road. Jiaying thought it was just a folk beauty, so she came to violate it with evil intentions. Mazu waved the dust and Jiaying ran away when he saw something wrong.
A year later, Jiaying came out to harm the people again. Mazu said, "If this monster does not return to the right path, it will inevitably disturb the world." So he asked the villagers to bring talismans and burn incense to fast, and he took a small boat to the sea and unexpectedly surrendered Jiaying. Mazu also accepted Jiaying as a member of the Shuique Immortal Class.
When Mazu was sixteen years old, she went out to play with a group of female companions. When she was wearing makeup to the well, a group of immortals followed her with a pair of copper talismans, and walked upstairs to the well and gave the copper talismans to her. The female companions were scared away while Mazu accepted the copper talismans and did not doubt it.
After receiving the bronze talisman, Mazu was very wise and changed, and her talismans warded off evil spirits. Her magic powers showed her magical powers more and more. She was able to travel around, cross the sea, and rescue her for emergency treatment. People called her "Fairy Girl" and "Dragon Girl".
Both Ma and Grandparents did good deeds and accumulated virtues. When their father was in his forties, he had a man and five daughters, but he was worried that one son would not be able to pass on the family line, so he often burned incense and prayed, wanting to have another son.
The couple's piety moved God. One night, Cihang sent a dream to Mazu and said to him: "Your family does good deeds and accumulates virtues. Now I will give you a pill. I will take it to receive the gift of Tzu Chi." Soon his mother became pregnant.
One evening October later, when she gave birth, a hypocritical red light shot into the house in the northwest, accompanied by a loud sound, Mazu was born.
Because Mazu is a girl, her parents are very disappointed, but Mazu is born strangely and loves her very much.
Mazu didn't cry at all from birth to the full moon, so her parents named her Lin Mo.
Mazu was twenty-eight years old at the time. The day before the festival, he said to his family: "My heart is so pure and I don't want to live in the mortal world. Tomorrow is the festival, and I want to go climbing mountains and climbing high places. I say goodbye to you in advance."
My family thought she was going to climb high and look into the distance, but she didn't know she was going to become an immortal.
The next morning, after Mazu burned incense and chanted scriptures, he bid farewell to his sisters and went straight to the highest point of Mei Peak. At this time, there were thick clouds on the top of the peak, and Mazu turned into a white light and rushed into the sky and rode the wind.
After that, Mazu often appeared in her spirits, protected the country and the people, and saved people in danger. The local people were grateful to her and built a temple on the top of the peak and worshipped her devoutly. It is said that the cliff "Ascendant Ancient Site" behind the ancestral temple is where Mazu flew to the sky.
When Mazu was alive, there was a stone bridge across the sea in the area, which was the main road for local people to travel south and north.
One day, a strange wind suddenly blew, breaking all the bridge piles, and traffic was cut off for a while and people could not pass.
The people thought it was done by the wind god, so they prayed to Mazu to solve the problem.
Mazu went to the stone bridge to observe and saw a black air in the distance. He knew that there was something strange about it, so he used spiritual techniques to drive the monster away. From then on, the stone bridge was unobstructed and harmless.
There is a monster called Yan Gong on the sea, who often makes waves and overturns the ships on the sea.
One day, Mazu sailed to the eastern sea, and the monsters started to make waves again. The ship Mazu was riding was shaking very violently.
When Mazu ordered to break down, she saw a golden crown and embroidered sleeves on a boat in the waves ahead, and the god with a beard and eyes striking was causing trouble.
Mazu remained silent and set off a strong wind and waves to fight against it. Yan Gong was afraid of Mazu's divine power and bowed to the boat and left.
But the monster was temporarily dissatisfied with magic power, so it turned into a divine dragon and continued to make trouble. Mazu said: "This monster will not be eliminated, and the storm will continue." He broke down in the middle and subdued the divine dragon.
Mazu ordered Gong Yan to lead the Shuique Immortal Clan, with a total of eighteen shipwrecks guarding the sea. Later, Gong Yan became the general manager of Mazu's subordinates.
According to legend, when Mazu was alive, a monster appeared in a place. The local people suffered from it and contracted hundreds of diseases. The local people went to ask Mazu for treatment. Mazu gave the person who asked for treatment and told the people to go back and put the talisman on the head of the patient's bedside.
The monster knew that the magic power of the talisman was huge, so it turned into a bird and ran away. Mazu chased it out and saw the bird hiding on the tree, and the bird's beak was spewing a ball of black gas.
Mazu said, "This monster cannot be left here, it is a troubled countryside." He chased and captured the birds. It turned out to be a wren.
Mazu sprayed the bird with talisman water, and the bird fell to the ground and turned into a pinch of dry hair. Mazu burned it with fire, and found the original appearance of the little ghost.
The little devil hurriedly asked Mazu to take it in, and Mazu took it in the audience to serve.
One day, Mazu wanted to cross the sea, but there were no boats. At this time, Mazu saw an iron horse hanging in front of the eaves next to her, so she had an idea and took it and waved it. The iron horse ran away from the sea and rushed to the other side. Suddenly, the iron horse disappeared without a trace, and everyone next to her was amazed at the vast power of "Dragon Girl".
I don’t know if someone believes it or not, before something happens to a person, he will have various signs of himself.
For example, I once heard from a friend that some death row prisoners in prison generally do not tell them to execute the death row that day because they are afraid of causing panic among the prisoners.
But even if he doesn't know the execution date, the prisoner will be upset the night before the execution, and then yell in the prison. Perhaps this is a premonition and feels that his deadline is approaching.
In the past, Xun Dao also heard such a story. There was a family named Huang in their village. Their family was a mother. Everyone in the village called "Aunt Huang" and she was with two children.
In fact, they were originally a happy and harmonious family, but as the saying goes, "Good times will not last long."
Their men were in the town at that time and drove a carriage for the government office. For some reason, something happened to the carriage and turned off the cliff, and even died.
After the man at home disappeared, Aunt Huang didn't look for him, so she took two sons with her. The eldest son was called "Huang Cong," and the younger son was called "Huang Ming."
The eldest son seemed to be less than 20 years old at that time, and the younger son was thirteen or fourteen years old. There was no man or labor force at home. Aunt Huang could not afford the tuition for the two children to go to the school alone.
So his brother Huang Cong took the initiative to drop out of school and gave the opportunity to study to his younger brother.
After quitting school, Huang Cong was not old and did not have any skills. He followed the villagers to a nearby small brick factory and moved bricks as a labourer.
I have been working for three years. If you say that Huang Cong is really filial to his mother, he really feels sorry for his younger brother and is very good at being a person.
Many people in the village asked him to help if he had something to do, and he would definitely not postpone his help. So at that time, many parents in the village asked their children to learn from Huang Cong. These children also followed Huang Ming to call Huang Cong "Big Brother."
Because the family is poor, Huang Cong always leaves it to his younger brother without any regrets as long as he has some delicious food and good clothes.
My younger brother is also very committed and has always been very good at studying. Huang Cong often said: "When his younger brother finishes his studies and becomes rich, he won't have to be so tired."
One day, when Huang Cong came back from working in a brick factory, Aunt Huang had already prepared the meal. Although she still had a little bit of food, she still had no problem with having enough food at that time.
At that time, the grain was not easy to get, and basically it was coarse grain every day. If you had some fine grains such as rice and flour, you had to wait for the holidays or when there was something at home before eating them.
Needless to say, the fine grains in their family are all for the dick to feed them. Because the dick is in school, my mother also feels sorry for him and is growing up.
The eldest brother Huang Cong never said that his mother favored the second brother because he also loved his younger brother.
After Huang Cong washed his hands, he sat in front of the table and started eating. His mother made the soles of his shoes there.
While eating, Huang Cong suddenly asked, "Mom, is this rice steamed in the pot? It's so delicious."
Aunt Huang was busy placing the soles of her shoes, and said without looking up, "Yes, it's steaming, I left it for your brother."
