Why didn't Duke Jing take a bite before going to the toilet?

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, feudal superstition was still quite serious. Some people believe it, while others are dubious. According to Zuo Zhuan's ten years of success, Duke Jing of Jin once had a nightmare. In the dream, a group of ghosts took his life. After waking up, Qi Huangong asked Sang Tianwu to interpret his dreams. After Sangtianwu divined, he told Duke Jing of Jin not to eat new wheat in the coming year, which means you are dying. Duke Jing of Jin was furious and put Sangtian Wu in prison, ready to kill him after he ate new wheat.

Later, during Jin Jinggong's illness, he dreamed that his lesion had turned into two boys, whispering beside him-one said, "That brilliant medical skill is coming soon. I don't think we can escape this time. Where shall we hide? " Another child said, "It's nothing to be afraid of. We hide in the paste, no matter how he uses the medicine, we can't help it. " Later, the doctor invited from Qin (his apprentice, who was dead at that time) said that you were terminally ill after being diagnosed by Jin. After hearing the doctor's brilliant diagnosis, Jin gave the doctor a heavy gift and told him to go back to Qin, which is also the source of the idiom "terminally ill".

However, despite his poor health, Duke Jing of Jin is still alive and strong. In June, the new wheat came out, and Duke Jing of Jin asked people to offer it and cook it in front of the Sangtian witch. When Duke Jing of Jin was preparing to eat, his stomach suddenly swelled up and he felt very uncomfortable. He must go to the toilet first and empty his stomach. But he did not come back. In the morning, a small minister (divination sacrifice) dreamed that he was carrying Duke Jing to heaven. At noon, he found Duke Jing of Jin in the toilet, but Duke Jing had drowned in it, so he went in and took him out and gave it to Duke Jing.
