Scholar Feng from Lintao County became rich, but in his generation, his family began to decline. There was a turtle fisherman who owed the scholar some money and was unable to repay it. In order to repay the debt, he often used fish and turtles as substitutes. On this day, the fisherman sent another old turtle.

, there were white spots on his forehead. Seeing the strange appearance of the old turtle, the scholar did not dare to cook it, so he took it to the river and released it.

Later, one time, the scholar came back from his son-in-law's house and passed by the Ganges River. It was dark and there was a drunk man on the river bank, followed by three or two slaves. He saw the scholar from a distance and asked: "Who is it?" The scholar said casually: "

Passing by." The drunk man said angrily: "I didn't know you were passing by? Tell me your name."

The scholar was in a hurry and ignored him. The drunkard became more and more angry and grabbed the scholar's sleeves to prevent him from leaving. The two were very close to each other. The drunkard smelled of alcohol and was nauseated by the smell. The scholar was quite impatient and said,

Asked: "Who is your Excellency?" The drunkard said: "I am the former county magistrate, why do you ask?"

The scholar sneered and said: "Is there such a county magistrate as you in the world? You are simply a drunkard. Fortunately you have no power or position at the moment, otherwise, you wouldn't be so arrogant?" The drunkard was furious and gesticulated, and the scholar said proudly: "One word

If you don't agree with me, you want to use force? Come on, come on, I'm not afraid of you." The drunkard narrowed his eyes and looked at the scholar attentively. Suddenly his anger turned into joy and he apologized: "It turns out that he is my benefactor. Where he offended me, I am not afraid of you."

Please forgive me." He told his men, "Go back and prepare wine and food. I want to entertain my benefactor."

While talking, he took the scholar's hand and asked him to go to the mansion for a chat. After walking for several miles, he came to a small village with gorgeous buildings and seemed to belong to a wealthy family. The scholar asked the drunkard's name, and the drunkard said: "My benefactor and I

To be honest, don't be afraid. I am not an ordinary person, but a Taoshui spirit. Everyone calls me the Eight Great Kings. Just now, the young boy from Xishan invited me to a meeting. I drank a few more drinks during the dinner. I offended my benefactor with my words, and I felt very ashamed.

"

The scholar knew in his heart that he was a monster, but he was not afraid when he saw the respectful attitude of the eight kings. After a while, the table was full of wine and banquet, with delicacies from mountains and seas, extremely luxurious. The eight kings drank a lot, and drank four or five glasses of wine in one go, without changing their expressions.

Se, the scholar was worried that he would get drunk again and act recklessly, so he immediately said: "I'm a light drinker. I can't drink anymore. Is there a bed? I want to sleep."

The Eighth King guessed his intention and said with a smile: "My benefactor must be afraid that I will drink too much and go crazy. There is no need to worry about this. My benefactor has saved my life. No matter how bad I am, I will not dare to be arrogant in front of you."

The scholar said sternly: "Since you know that drinking will cause trouble, why don't you quit?"

The Eight Kings said: "When I was a county magistrate in the past, I drank even more than I do today. As a result, I offended the Jade Emperor and was demoted to earth. Since then, I have changed my ways. I haven't touched a wine glass for more than ten years, thinking that this can atone for my sins.

Returned to heaven. But more than ten years have passed, I am now dying and depressed, and the Jade Emperor still refuses to forgive me. I feel angry and uncomfortable, which leads to me falling back into the old ways and drinking heavily. Since my benefactor has spoken, I naturally want to listen, you

Don’t worry, I will never drink again.”

While they were talking, a bell rang in the distance, and the eight kings stood up and left the table, saying: "We have not been together for a long time, and we are about to part ways. I have a treasure by my side, and I will give it to my benefactor now, to express my sincerity, and to repay your life-saving grace. Please remember this.

, this treasure cannot be worn for a long time. If your wish is fulfilled, you still need to return it." He opened his mouth and spat out a small figure, one inch long.

The Eight Kings stretched out their palms, protruded their nails, scratched the muscles of the scholar's arm, and stuffed the villain into the veins. The scholar cried out in pain, and when he lowered his head, he saw that the villain merged with his skin, forming a lump of flesh the size of an egg.

, asked in shock: "What did you do to me?" The Eight Kings smiled and did not answer, sent the scholar out the door, and turned back on their own.

The scholar looked back and saw that the village had disappeared. Only an old turtle was left, crawling stupidly, and with a whoosh, it got into the river and disappeared. The scholar was stunned for a long time, and then returned home.

Since then, the scholar's eyesight has greatly improved. Wherever there is jewelry, even if it is hidden in the abyss of the earth, it cannot be hidden from the scholar's ears and eyes. His knowledge has also increased sharply. Now he can name things he didn't recognize before just by looking at them.

. There were hundreds of copper coins hidden under the soil in the bedroom of his home. The scholar took out the coins, and from then on he had no worries about food and clothing, and no shortage of silver. Later, a businessman sold his house, and the scholar went to see it. He saw that there was a lot of gold and silver under the ground of the house.

There were too many to count, so he bought a house at a high price, dug out money, and his family suddenly became rich. He was as rich as a prince, and he had all kinds of rare treasures in his hands.

The scholar dug out a precious mirror from the ground. On the back was painted "Picture of Concubine Shuiyun Xiang". It was radiant and could illuminate the scenery several miles away.

Keep the image of a beautiful woman in the mirror. No matter how much it is scratched, the image will not disappear.

At that time, there was a third princess in Prince Su's palace. She was so beautiful that scholars admired her name for a long time. He found out that the third princess would go to Kongtong Mountain to play, so he laid an ambush on the roadside in advance, took a photo of the princess's face with a precious mirror, and put it on the bedside after returning.

, watching it day and night. I saw the beauty in the mirror, holding up her towel and smiling, and her words moved. It was really wonderful.

A year later, his wife inadvertently leaked the news. Prince Su knew this and was furious. He immediately captured the scholar, confiscated the precious mirror, and prepared to interrogate and kill him. The scholar secretly bribed the prince's cronies and asked them to intercede with the prince, saying: "If the prince

If you are willing to forgive me, I am willing to offer you the world's rarest treasures, pearls and emeralds, for whatever price you choose. Otherwise, if I die, the prince will get nothing, and in the end it will be you who will suffer the loss."

The prince refused to listen and planned to confiscate the scholar's home to the army. The third princess said: "The scholar has seen my daughter's appearance and played with him day and night. Even if I kill him, it will not wash away my daughter's shame. It is better to marry him." The prince did not allow it, and the princess did not.

He was so angry that he refused to eat. He stayed in his room every day, sulking alone.

The princess was very worried and tried her best to plead for the scholar. The prince relented and decided to release the prisoner and told the scholar: "You can live if you want, but you must marry my daughter." The scholar shook his head and said: "I already have my first wife. If my wife doesn't

I agree, I would rather die than obey."

The prince was furious and imprisoned the scholar again. The princess secretly summoned his wife to the palace and wanted to poison her with poisonous wine. The wife was ordered to come to the appointment and gave the princess a coral mirror. The princess saw that she was gentle and spoke well, and she was very happy.

Yue, who had long forgotten the thought of killing, guided his wife to pay homage to the third princess. The two met, fell in love with each other, and became sisters.

At this point, seeing that his wife had agreed, the scholar no longer insisted and said to his wife: "The princess has a noble status. After passing the marriage, I am afraid that I will wrong you and make you a child. It is too late to regret it now." The wife refused to listen and prepared the betrothal gift when she returned.

Many jewels and jades were given as gifts, all of which were rare and rare. Although the prince was well-informed, he still could not identify them one by one.

The scholar was very happy to marry the princess. That night when he went to bed, he saw eight kings coming to him in his sleep, saying: "It's time for the things I gave to my benefactor to return to their original owners. Wearing them for too long is a waste of time."

Drinking blood will damage one's life span." The scholar Nuonuo agreed and kept the eight kings to eat. The eight kings declined and said: "Since I listened to my benefactor's teachings last time, I haven't touched a wine glass in the past three years. I can only accept my benefactor's kindness."

As he spoke, he opened his lips, bit the scholar's arm, took out the villain, and left.
