Shi Tian Zhong Kui exorcism story.

The Tang Dynasty was prosperous and prosperous, and the country was rich and the people were safe. At that time, at the foot of the mountain, there lived a scholar named Zhong. Although Zhong Xiucai studied hard, his career was not smooth. He was in his fifties and had not won an award, so he was not famous. However, his wife gave birth to a son because she dreamed of the arrival of a giant star in the sky. Zhong Xiucai loves his son very much and named him Zhong Kui according to his wife's dream. The moral of this name is also obvious, that is, he pinned his lifelong hope on his son, expecting him to win the first place in the future and get the first place in the exam, so as to realize his lifelong ambition.

Shortly after Zhong Kui was born, his parents died one after another, leaving him and his sister Meier alone. Brother and sister live a very poor life. However, although Zhong Kui is poor, he has high aspirations. He inherited his father's legacy from childhood, studied hard, learned a lot of literary talent and martial arts, and wanted to be the top scholar, honor his ancestors and do something great.

Ten years later, Zhong Kui has grown up, and the scholar and juren have passed the exam easily. This year, he can go to Beijing to take the Jinshi Palace Examination. However, Zhong Kui is as poor as a church mouse, without any travelling expenses, and the examination period is about to be postponed. At this time, Du Ping, a kind-hearted man, generously helped, and Du Ping gave Zhong Kui twenty taels of silver. Zhong Kui is very grateful. He took the travel expenses and hurried to the exam at once. He is determined not to go home without passing the exam. Due to the hasty road and the hot weather, Zhong Kui accidentally caught a cold and had a fever on the way. He didn't dare to miss the exam, and he didn't dare to live up to the expectations of Du Ping and his sister, so he stumbled forward. One dark night, he went to a ruined temple for the night and was met by a group of wild ghosts in the middle of the night. The wild ghost was very jealous when he saw that he was a man with extraordinary vision, literary talent and martial arts. He beat Zhong Kui around and turned Zhong Kui into a ghost. Zhong Kui himself didn't notice it, only felt a sharp pain all over, but he just walked to the capital to take the entrance examination.

Zhong Kui, after all, is a star in the sky, and the articles are excellent. He finally topped the list and won the first prize. However, when the Imperial Palace summoned the top scholar in the exam, he saw that Zhong Kui was ugly and ferocious, and refused to choose him as the top scholar. Ministers worked hard to persuade and fight for it. Zhong Kui also told the emperor about his adventures on the way. However, the emperor's longkou has been opened and will never change.

Zhong Kui is a man of short temper. When he saw that the emperor refused to be the number one scholar because of his ugly face, he was so angry that he repeatedly shouted, "I'm almost bent to death!" I am going to die! " Say that finish, he bumped into a nearby bronze tripod and lost his life. Seeing such a heroic scene, the emperor felt a little sorry, so he ordered Zhong Kui to be reburied.

Besides, Zhong Kui's murders, full of resentment, floated to the underworld. As soon as he entered Yan's temple, he pointed to Yan's nose and swore, "You are the sky in the underworld, and you should be impartial. Why do I lose my reputation even if evil spirits come to ruin my appearance, and I am ashamed to see my poor sister and Du Ping who helped me? " How can the emperor be so fatuous without mercy! What kind of' world' is this! "

Hades don't know what's going on, but Zhong Kui threw himself into it, picked up a glittering spike stick and wandered around Rosen Hall, dancing in Rosen Hall again. This is terrible. This spike is no ordinary stick. It is the treasure of the town hall in the temple, which was given to Yan by the Jade Emperor in heaven. As long as you hold it in your hand, all demons, including Yan, dare not approach yourself.

Zhong Kui was holding this wand in the city hall, jumping left and right in Rosen Hall, chasing after GREAT GHOST kids everywhere. Even Yan was scared by him to leave the DPRK and hide. Later, Zhong Kui saw a big clock in the temple and rushed to thunder. It doesn't matter whether you knock or not. This is a bell. When you knock, it will disturb the jade emperor in the sky.

The jade emperor asked the white Venus around him. Taibai Venus pinched her finger and said to the Jade Emperor, "This is someone making trouble in Rosen Palace. This man used to be a star in the sky, but now he is complaining in the underworld. " So he told the story of Zhong Kui from beginning to end. On second thought, the Jade Emperor thought that the Monkey King made trouble because he refused to obey the control of heaven, and now Zhong Kui is making trouble again. It's better to roll with the punches and roll with the punches. He immediately summoned the prince and ordered, "This Zhong Kui is a star in the sky. It is understandable that he came to this place because he suffered many grievances on the earth. When you go back, as I said, let him be an exorcist and take charge of all kinds of monsters in the world. This is the touch of Green's sword, please give it to him! "

Yan got the jade emperor's will and hurried back to hell. Calling Zhong Kui to him conveyed the jade emperor's will, gave him the sword and gave him a devil's gourd as a magic weapon.

In this way, Zhong Kui became a special god to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts. However, what really made him famous was that he caught ghosts for Emperor Tang Ming and a generation of painter Wu Daozi painted for him. Words Tianyuan years, Tang Wuhou returned to the palace after inspecting the school in Lishan, has been unhappy, and soon fell asleep. After sleeping, Tang dreamed of a child: one foot was bare, the other foot was wearing sandals, a shoe was hung around his waist, and a broken fan was nailed. He saw the ghost go to the dragon's bed and stole the imperial concubine's sachet and her jade emperor. Ming Taizu got the nerve to scold when he saw this. The kid smiled and said, "I'm a kid named waste." Waste is to steal other people's property for fun. Waste is to make people more unhappy and worried, and turn people's good things into bad things. " When Ming Taizu saw that he was so unreasonable, he was furious and asked the samurai to catch the boy. Suddenly, I saw a huge ghost, holding a sword, a gourd hanging around his waist and wearing black boots. As easy as blowing off dust, I grabbed the boy, broke it in two, and stuffed him into the gourd around my waist. Ming Taizu was frightened to disgrace and asked who he was. GREAT GHOST said respectfully, "I am Zhong Kui, an exorcist on earth. I have come to repay you for your gracious burial. " Hearing this, Tang felt ashamed and sealed Zhong Kui.

In this way, when Tang woke up, he was in a good mood. He called Wu Daozi to the temple cheerfully and asked Wu Daozi to paint Zhong Kui according to his dream. As a painter, Wu Daozi naturally writes good articles. In a short time, he seemed to have experienced a dream and painted Zhong Kui's portrait vividly. Ming Chengzu saw the portrait and was full of praise. He was rewarded with 120 gold. The Ming Emperor immediately issued an imperial edict to the world: In the future, every household will hang a portrait of Zhong Kui, the exorcist, on New Year's Eve.

From then on, Zhong Kui became famous and became a famous exorcist.
