Chapter seven hundred and ninety-third black and white stone
The Baiji rice shop in Wuyuanling Town was opened by a handsome young man with his newlywed wife twenty years ago. Although the shop is not big, the boss Bai Shi and the boss lady Zhi said are both kind-hearted. They are more expensive than other families when collecting grain, and the price is lower. It is worth mentioning that people in the same city are willing to take a detour and come to his house to buy rice. They are famous but not rich. Only Bai Shi and his wife are busy with their work, and the man does not hire them. The couple doesn't care. They talk and laugh every day, which makes others envious.
But the good times never lasted. Bai Chengfan, the son of the Bai family, was three or four years old, and his mother began to get sick. Although she took countless medicine stones, she was unable to turn things around.
Shiraishi was depressed for a while after his wife passed away, but his youngest son was ignorant and needed his father's care. Shiraishi was so energetic that he lived with his son alone.
More than ten years later, Bai Chengfan grew up. He looked very similar to his parents and was a handsome young man, but his temperament was completely different from his parents. He was impatient and selfish when encountering things.
His father Bai Shi often taught him to be kind to others. Bai Chengfan frowned and teased his father: "Everyone said that your mother and I are good people, but kindness do not command soldiers, and do not support wealth. Now the family is still poor, and they are just holding the title of Boss Bai. Dad, look, in this city, who is not rich in money, only you can't live up to the old ways. Who doesn't laugh at the children of the merchants I have made about our family's poverty? Dad, you also need to be more flexible. Money is a good thing, and you still think it's hot?"
No matter how Bai Shi taught this son, Bai Chengfan just agreed on the surface and did his own thing behind his back. He fought with friends and owed a lot of debts and was often asked for it by others. Bai Shi had no choice but to piece it together to pay off his son's debts.
This year, the famine outside the city was frightened, and the people in the city were also anxious and started to grab rice and grain. Bai Shi calculated the stored grain in the shop and did not dare to sell it out at once. He set the amount of two stones every day, one without adding a price, and the other was to sell it to someone who had really empty the rice jar. This was a good deed, but it caused a lot of gossip, saying that Boss Bai was also terrible, and he would probably have to make a fortune if he didn't sell the grain in the future!
Bai Shi had no way to explain, so he sighed all day long, but he couldn't get sick. When he was worried, his son Bai Chengfan volunteered to Ying, saying that he should share his father's worries by running the rice shop.
Bai Shi repeatedly told him, and Bai Chengfan agreed and said that he would do what his father said.
In the first seven or eight days, Bai Shi was still worried and forced to go to the rice shop to take a look. Bai Chengfan really abides by the rules and honestly sells rice to pay. Bai Shi was very pleased and thought that his son was finally sensible.
But in the next half month, the famine became more and more serious. Bai Shi was recuperating at home, and the gate and courtyard were thrown into dirty things and spilled dirty water.
Bai Shi grabbed the passerby with a crutch and asked why? The passerby turned his eyes and despised him. Finally, the neighbor who had some friendship with Bai Shi told Bai Shi: "Boss Bai, the noble man is now the master's shop, which is very different from you. The rice price has increased a few times over the past few days, and the rice is mixed with sand and gravel, which makes us poor people unable to afford it or eat it!"
Bai Shi was furious and coughed up blood. In the evening, he called his son Bai Chengfan to ask. Bai Chengfan smiled coldly and said, "Dad, this is a hero in the times. I just follow the trend. Speaking of which, I am obeying your teachings. If you are willing to buy it with sand and gravel, you must be the one who has no food at home. Isn't it just for the rich to hoard it?"
Shiraishi looked at his son and then let out a sigh for a while. His tone was quite discouraged and said, "My son is indeed eloquent. Such harmful things can make you speak loudly. You have abandoned the teachings that require you to be kind and kind on weekdays, right? Since that's the case, I won't be noisy about you anymore. You will be the host in the future."
"There is one thing in the end. There is a grain storage cellar under the ruins of the suburbs under the ruins of the countryside. It is stored a lot of rice and grain. It was originally intended to be used for the wasteland years. Let me tell you all, and you can deal with it yourself!"
When Bai Chengfan heard this, all the coins passed by were all shining by. He went to the dilapidated temple alone early the next morning, wanting to see how much "wealth" his father hid.
But the barren mountain had long been occupied by a group of strong men, and the ruined temple became a "Weihu Hall" with robbers. He caught Bai Chengfan with his limbs tied up, and wore it with a cooked copper stick like a pig, and threw it in front of the hall with a noisy clamor!
Bai Chengfan sneaked into the temple scene, facing the pale and dry bones everywhere, and there were minced meat on it. These strong men actually feed on people!
Many vulgar robbers pulled their legs and yelled: "This little white face is fine and tender, so it must be delicious..."
Bai Chengfan's teeth chuckled and said to himself: "My life is over!"
But Bai Chengfan was not dead. For some reason, the robber leader looked the same as his father Bai Shi. If he hadn't had the fierce eyes and different voices, he would have almost no way to tell.
The thief called himself Ishiguro. When he saw Bai Chengfan's appearance, he laughed and said that God saw that I had no son, he gave me a "son". Since your surname is Bai, I will call me Dad. I will accept you as the young leader of the village. I am so happy to drink and eat meat!
Bai Chengfan didn't want to die, but he didn't want to call the robber leader as his father, so he gritted his teeth and refused to speak. Ishiguro seemed to like him very much, and did not bother with him. He used chains to put his hands and feet away. He ordered his subordinates to go and snatch people from another person to eat.
That night, Bai Chengfan shrank beside the pillar, trembling. Seeing the forced man chopping and killing the victims and eating flesh and blood, he also divided the roasted palms, which he refused to eat.
Shi Hei was eating "free" and pointed at Bai Chengfan and laughed, saying, "Don't pretend to be a fake kindness. I know you, you are buying rice grains with sand at a high price. What's the difference between you and me, who are as sucking in a human heart?"
Bai Chengfan's face turned red and he roared for a while: "I don't harm others, I'm different from you!"
Ishiguro salivated and said in disdain: "Starting people to death for money and eating people for life are all harmful. You can't be a good person or a bad person. It's so pitiful!"
In the middle of the night, all the strong men were full and drunk, and they slept all over the floor. Bai Chengfan kept muttering, "I'm not a bad person, I don't eat people." His heart was like beating a drum. He suddenly woke up. He saw Shi Hei sneering on a broken chair, snoring like thunder, and throwing a sharp knife under his feet...
Bai Chengfan touched the copper rope and knew he could not escape. He regretted that he shouldn't have made money while taking advantage of the disaster and became like this cannibalist robber. But now he has the opportunity to atone for himself. He gritted his teeth, picked up a sharp knife and stabbed it into Ishiguro's heart. Killing a thief may save more lives. His life and death are no longer important!
But strangely, no blood was splashed out when the sharp knife entered his body. Shi Hei shrank like a leaky pig urine, and finally disappeared in front of him, without even a corner of his clothes, and the robbers and Shi Shan Bone Sea all over the ground disappeared.
Bai Chengfan didn't have the locked copper chain, so he didn't dare to look at the "strange things" here, so he rolled and crawled home...
But after arriving at home, Bai Chengfan found his father Bai Shi lying on the bed, dying, with a big blood hole in his chest, and blood was flowing. When he saw his son come back, he showed a gratified smile on his face...
It turns out that Bai Shi is not an ordinary person. He was originally a huge rock on the barren mountain. When he met Bai Chengfan's mother, he fell in love with him at first sight and gave up his Taoist practice for ten thousand years to exchange for a physical body. However, his spirit was divided into two, half of which was good and half evil. The ruined temple Shihei was his evil soul.
Bai Chengfan's life comes from Bai Shi, but good and evil are difficult to distinguish. Seeing that Bai Chengfan is in a bad and evil nature, Bai Shi had no choice but to let Bai Chengfan go to the dark place of the ruined temple. If Bai Chengfan could swallow his flesh into his stomach, then he would have become a "human body becomes a demon". The ruined temple is a place where the demons are detained, and he will never be able to come out.
Fortunately, Bai Chengfan was able to return to the wrong path. He would rather give up himself than stop Shi Hei from harming others. He cut off good and evil with one knife and destroyed evil spirits.
Unfortunately, Shiraishi Ishii was originally one, Shiraishi disappeared, and Shiraishi was about to die.
Bai Chengfan's eyes were red when he cried, but his father Bai Shi touched his hair and smiled and told him that he could see his son defeat the evil thoughts of his inner demons. He was enough in this life.
Since then, Bai Chengfan has distributed good food and Bai Ji Rice Shop has restored his good reputation in the past. Bai Chengfan has kept in mind the "good family tradition" that his father exchanged for his life and named him Ren Ning, hoping that his descendants will inherit each other from generation to generation: greed for money is the poison of chewing bones, and goodness is the foundation of peace of mind...
Ren Ning is evil, but he goes from evil to good, which is worthy of self-reflection on the world. But without his father's self-sacrifice teachings, how could he reform himself and become a new person?
In order to save people, Ren Ning, who was good at saving people, so he sought Taoism from the old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. Finally, after hard work, he mastered many yin and yang affairs. Because his good name is well known, many families ask him for help in yin and yang affairs, so this "master" who understands ghosts and spirits quickly talked about it with relish.
The reason why the Black King knew Ren Ning was because he was traveling and staying in the Taoist temple, he accidentally discovered that there were people who were more diligent in studying Yin and Yang Taoist affairs than himself in this small view.
The two fell in love with each other at first sight, and they felt they had a long time to get along with each other, and gradually became close friends. Since experiencing Lishu's incident, Qi Laowu has been pestering Ren Ning to become a disciple every day, and Huang Jiutian often walks with him. The Black King believes that Qi Laowu and Huang Jiutian's motives are impure, but Ren Ning thinks that as long as they are good and accumulate virtue, they can become friends. It's just that something is a coincidence. In less than half a month, Qi Laowu and Huang Jiutian died suddenly one after another, and the cause of death is unknown, which makes Ren Ning very sad.
