There was a young man surnamed Xu who lived in the north of Zichuan County and made a living by fishing.Every evening he would bring wine to the river, where he would go fishing while drinking.And before drinking, he always pours a cup of sacrifice first, and prays: "Drowning ghosts in the river, please come and drink!"This is how we get used to it.Others often catch very little fish, but he catches a basket full of fish every day. One evening, Xu was just drinking alone when he saw a young man walking around him.Xu asked him to have a drink with him, but the young man didn't refuse, so they started to drink with each other.Unexpectedly, he failed to catch even a single fish that night, and Xu felt a little frustrated.The young man stood up and bowed and said: I will go downstream to catch fish for you.After all, he floated downstream.After a while, the boy came back and said: A large school of fish is coming!Sure enough, I heard the sound of many fish swallowing the bait.Xu then cast a net and caught a dozen big fish with tail lengths in one net.He was very happy and thanked the teenager deeply.The young man wanted to leave, so he promised to give him the fish, but the young man didn't want it, and said, "I have drank your good wine many times. How can I thank you for such a small matter?"If you don't mind the trouble, I will come to you often.Xu said: We only met one night, how can we say so many times?You came to help me as you wished, and I can't ask for it, but how can I repay your affection?So he asked the boy's name.The boy said: My surname is Wang, and I don't have a name. Call me Wang Liulang when you meet.After that, he said goodbye and left.

The next day, Xu sold the fish and bought some more wine by the way.That night, when Xu came to the river, Liu Lang was already waiting, and the two drank happily.After drinking a few cups, Liu Lang caught fish for Xu.In this way, half a year passed.One day, Liu Lang suddenly said to Xu: You and I know each other as brothers, but we will part soon.Very sad to say.Xu was very surprised, and asked Liu Lang why he was like this. Liu Lang thought about it and said, "Since you and I are as close as brothers, you don't have to be surprised when I tell you."Now that we are about to part, you may as well tell the truth: I am actually a ghost, and I just drank too much alcohol and died of drowning after getting drunk. It has been several years.In the past, the reason why you caught more fish than others was because I drove them away secretly, as a reward for the libation.Tomorrow my time limit is over, someone will replace me, I will be reincarnated in the world, you and I will meet only tonight, so I feel sad.Xu couldn't help feeling terrified when he heard this, but after getting along with him for a long time, he was no longer afraid.Thinking of breaking up soon, I feel sad instead.So, he filled a glass of wine and held it in his hand and said: Liulang, I respect you for this glass of wine!I hope you don't feel sad after drinking.You and I will not be able to see each other from now on, although it is very sad, but you are freed from disaster, I should congratulate you.Don't be sad, you should be happy!So, the two continued to drink.Xu asked Liulang: Who will replace him?Liulang said: "Brother, you can wait in the dark by the river tomorrow. At noon, a woman crossed the river and drowned to death. She was my substitute."When the two heard the crowing of the village chicken, Fang shed tears and said goodbye.

The next day, Xu secretly watched by the river to see what would happen.At noon, a woman with a baby in her arms fell into the water when she reached the river.The baby was thrown on the shore, crying with raised hands and feet.The woman floated up and down several times, and finally climbed up the river bank dripping with water, sat on the ground to rest for a while, picked up the baby and left.When Xu saw the woman falling into the water, he couldn't bear it and wanted to save her, but he thought that this was Liu Lang's substitute, so he gave up the idea of ​​saving her.When he saw that the woman was not drowned, he suspected that Liu Lang's words were not valid.

That night, Xu still went fishing at the same place, but Liu Lang was already there, and said: Now that we are together again, let's not talk about the parting for now.Xu asked Liu Lang what happened during the day, and Liu Lang said: Originally, that woman was for me, but I felt sorry for the baby in her arms, and couldn't bear to hurt the lives of two people for my own sake.Therefore, I decided to give up this opportunity, but I don't know when there will be someone who will die for me.Maybe it's the unfinished fate between you and me.Xu sighed and said: Your benevolent heart can always move God.Since then, the two have been drinking and fishing as before.

A few days later, Liu Lang came to bid farewell to Xu, and Xu thought that there was another person taking Liu Lang's place.Liulang said: No, my previous kindness was indeed known to God, so he called me the land god of Wu Town, Zhaoyuan County.Tomorrow I will go to work, if you don't forget our friendship, you can go to Zhaoyuan to visit me in the future, but don't forget me because of the long distance.Xu congratulated and said: I am very pleased that my good brother has become a god because of his righteous behavior.But there is a long distance between man and God, even if I am not afraid of the distance, how can I see you?Liu Lang said: Just go, don't worry.He asked again and again to leave.

When Xu returned home, he had to pack up and go east to Zhaoyuan.His wife dissuaded him, saying, "If we go hundreds of miles away, even if there is such a place, I'm afraid we won't be able to talk to a clay idol."Xu refused to listen and went to Zhaoyuan.Ask the local residents, and sure enough there is a Wu town.When he found Wuzhen, he stayed in an inn and asked the owner where the Earth Temple was.The host said in amazement: Could it be that the guest's surname is Xu?Xu said: Yes, but how do you know?The owner asked again: Is the guest from Zichuan?Xu said: Yes, but how did you know?The owner of the store did not answer, but walked out quickly.After a while, I saw the man holding the child, and the women poking their heads outside the door. People from the village came one after another, surrounded Xu, and crowded the room.Xu was even more surprised.Everyone told him: A few nights ago, I dreamed that a man of God came to tell me that a person surnamed Xu from Zichuan was coming here and could give some help.So I have been waiting here for a long time.Xu was very surprised, so he went to the Earth Temple to offer sacrifices to Liulang, and prayed: "Since I parted from you, I have remembered it in my sleep, and I have come all the way for this purpose."You told the villagers in your dream again, and I am very grateful.I'm ashamed that I don't have a big gift to give, only a glass of beer wine, if you don't dislike it, you should drink it like you used to by the river.After praying, I burned some paper money.In an instant, I saw a whirlwind rising from the seat of God, and it took a long time to dissipate.

That night, Xu dreamed that Liu Lang came, well-dressed and very different from before.Liulang thanked and said: Thank you, you came to visit me from afar, which made me happy and sad.But now that I have a job, it is inconvenient for me to meet you. You are so close, but you are far away, and I feel very sad.People in the village have meager gifts to give, even if it is on my behalf to repay my old friends.When you go back, I will come to see you off. Xu stayed for a few days and planned to go home. Everyone tried to persuade him to stay, and every morning and evening they took turns to be the hosts for Xu's farewell.Xu resolutely said goodbye, and the villagers rushed to send many gifts to enrich him.In less than a day, the bags were filled with presents, and men, women and children gathered to send Xu out of the village.Suddenly a whirlwind blew up and followed Xu for more than ten miles.Xu bowed to the whirlwind again and said: Liulang cherishes it, don't send it away.With benevolence in your heart, you can naturally benefit the people of one side, and you don't need old friends to ask you.The whirlwind circled for a long time before leaving.The people in the village also returned with a sigh.

When Xu returned home, his family was a little better off, so he stopped fishing.Later, I met people in Zhaoyuan and asked them about the land situation. It is said that the effect is as good as the legend, and it is famous far and wide.Some people say that this incident happened in Shikeng Village, Zhangqiu County. I don't know which statement is correct. Yi Shi's comment: After the prosperity, he did not forget the poor and humble friends. This is the reason why Wang Liulang became a god.Among the dignitaries sitting in official sedan chairs, who else knows their poor friends back then?There is a retired person in my hometown, and his family is very poor.He had a childhood friend who held a very fat official position.He thought that if he went to him, he would be well taken care of, so he tried his best to buy luggage and traveled thousands of miles to go to him, but he was disappointed.He had to spend all the money he brought and sold his mount before returning home.He has a younger brother who is very witty, and made the first moon decree to ridicule him, saying:

This month, when my brother came back, he took off his sable hat, lost his umbrella, and his horse became a donkey, so the sound of his boots stopped.Reading this little order makes people laugh. 【original】 The surname is Xu, who lives in Beiguo, Zizhi, and is a fisherman.Every night, carry wine on the river, drink and fish.If you drink, you will drink to the ground. Zhu Yun: The drowning ghosts in the river can drink.As usual.Others fished and found nothing, but Xu Du filled his basket. One night, Fang was drinking alone, and a young man came and wandered by his side.Let him drink, be generous and drink together.Since I didn't catch a fish all night, I feel quite disappointed.The young man got up and said: "Please drive it away for the king."So he went away.After a while, he returned and said: "The fish is so big."Guowen 唼味【ㄕㄚ' ㄒㄧㄚ; the appearance of waterfowl or fish gathering together. 】Sound.Lift the net and get a few heads, all of which are full of feet.Very happy, thank you.If you want to return, give fish as a gift, but don't accept it, saying: "I have repeatedly talked about good brewing, so what's the point of reporting it?"If you don't give up, you should think of it as a long ear.Xu said: "Fang spent one night together, why do you say it repeatedly?"If you are willing to look after you forever, you are sincerely wishing; but you are ashamed of your love.Inquiring about his surname, he said: "My surname is Wang, but there is no character. When you meet, you can call him Wang Liulang."So farewell.

Tomorrow, Xu Huoyu, Yigu wine.When it was late to the river, the young man was there first, so he had a drink with him.Drink a few cups, noir to drive fish for Xu.The case is half a load.Suddenly told Xu, saying: "Worship is Qingyang, love is more than flesh and blood."However, it will be another day.The language is very sad.Ask in surprise.Those who want to say no more, said: "The love is as good as the two of us. Don't you be surprised if you say it?"Let's say goodbye now, so it's okay to say clearly: I'm a real ghost.Su was addicted to alcohol, intoxicated and drowned for several years.The former king's catch of fish, which was better than others, was driven secretly by his servants in order to repay him.Tomorrow's karma is full, and there will be a generation, who will be reborn in the future.The gathering is only tonight, so we can't be indifferent.Xu Chu was horrified when he heard about it; however, after a long time of intimacy, it is no longer scary.Because of the lack of debt, I said in a discretionary way: "Liu Lang drinks this, so don't worry about it."Meeting each other suddenly, good enough to feel sorry for, but the karma is full of kalpas, it is appropriate to congratulate each other, sadness is unethical.Then drink with you.Because he asked: Who is the substitute?Said: "Brother, look at it from the riverside. At noon in the pavilion, there was a woman who drowned while crossing the river. That's true."Listen to the village chicken singing, and say goodbye.

Tomorrow, I will wait by the riverside to see the difference.If there is a woman carrying a baby, she falls into the river and falls.The son threw it on the shore, raised his hands and feet and cried.The ups and downs of the woman are repeated, and she suddenly drenches and climbs the bank to get out, taking advantage of the ground to take a little rest, and walks away with her son.When a woman drowns, she can't bear it, and she wants to run to rescue her, but she changes her mind that she is the one acting on behalf of Liu Lang, so she stops and does not save her.When the woman came out, she doubted what she said. Arriving at dusk, fishing old place.The young man came back and said, "We are gathering again today, and we will not say goodbye."Ask why.Said: "The woman has been replaced. The servant took pity on her middle-aged son. She took the place of her younger brother, so she disabled her two lives, so she gave it up."I don't know when it will be replaced.Or is the relationship between the two of us unfinished?Xu sighed and said: This benevolent heart can communicate with God.From this get together as before. A few days later, I came to say goodbye again.Xu suspects that there will be a replacement for him.Said: No.The previous thought of pity, Guo Da Ditian.Now it is awarded the land of Wu Town, Zhaoyuan County, and will take up the post in Japan.If you don't forget your old friend, you should go to explore it, and don't be afraid to repair it.Xu He said: Your integrity is a god, which is very comforting.But the road between man and god is separated, even if you are not afraid to repair obstacles, what will happen?The young man said: "But go, don't worry."Repeatedly exhorted and left. Xu returned, that is to say, he wanted to govern and pretend to go east.The wife said with a smile: "If you go hundreds of miles, you will have a place. I'm afraid I won't be able to talk to each other."Xu refused to listen, but arrived in Zhaoyuan.If you ask the residents, there is Wu Zhen.Find it, rest your shoulders against the journey, and ask where the temple is.The host was shocked and said: "What is the surname of no guest?"Xu said: Yes.How do you know?He also said: "Wu Ke Yi is Zi?"Said: Of course.How do you know?The master didn't answer, but went out suddenly.Er Er, the husband is holding the child, and the daughter-in-law is peeping through the door. They come here in disorder, like a wall.Xu Nai said: "A few nights ago, the dream god said: "Xu You from Zichuan will come immediately, and he can help you as an axe."Only 【ㄓ; respectful. ] It's been a long time.Xu Yi is different, but he went to sacrifice in the temple and wished: "Farewell to the queen, I can't let go of my heart, and I will keep my promise far away."And Mengmeng shows people who live in the house, feeling in the heart of the seal.Ashamed of nothing, there is only wine [a glass of wine]; if you don't give it up, it should be like a drink on the river.Congratulations, burn money paper.After seeing the wind rising from the seat, it began to disperse when it rotated and moved. When Yemeng was young, he was well-dressed and well-dressed, which was very different from usual.Xie said: "I work far away as a consultant, and I am happy and tearful."However, it is inconvenient to meet in a small position, and it is very sad to be so close to rivers and mountains.If you live in a small house, you will have a gift, and the reward will be good if you talk about it.If there is a date to return, it is still time to send it off.After living for a few days, Xu wants to return.Everyone stays courteous, invites in the morning and evening, and counts the Lord every day.Xu Jian said goodbye.All the people are folded and folded to hold [luggage, baggage. 】, fight to get rich, not end up in the court, and give in to the legacy.Cangtou Zhizi finished the collection, and the ancestor sent [Farewell. 】 Out of the village.欻 [ㄏㄨ; suddenly] there was a wind of horns, and it followed for more than ten miles.Xu Zaibai said: "Liulang cherishes it!"Don't bother.With a benevolent heart, you can benefit one side by yourself, and you don't need to be told by your old friends.The wind has been circling for a long time, but it is gone.The villagers also returned in surprise.Xu returned, his family was a little richer, so he stopped fishing.Later, when someone from Zhaoyuan asked him, his spiritual response was like a ringing cloud.In other words: Zhangqiu Shikengzhuang.It is unknown which is. Yishi's family said: When you are in Qingyun, you don't forget poverty and humbleness. This is why you are a god.Today, you are in the car, and Ning Fu knows Dai Liren?There are people under the forest in Yu Township, whose family is poor.There are children and children, and they are fat ranks.You must take care of each other when you plan to invest.I tried my best to dress up and traveled thousands of miles, but I was disappointed; the horses with empty pockets and cargo were only able to return.The younger brother of his clan was very harmonious, and made a mocking cloud of the moon order: it is the moon, the elder brother arrives, the ermine hat is removed, the umbrella cover is not opened, the horse turns into a donkey, and the boots start to stop.It's a laugh to read this.
