Otherworldly Merchant

Zhang Yaowu pushed his glasses: “I didn't expect the clue, but I remembered a story. ”

“Story? What story.” I asked some strange questions.

“Ear the story of God.” Zhang Yaowu took a teacup and sipped gently, continuing: “In addition to being able to predict the future and convey the message, the ear god in both places has a completely different personality. ”

“China's ear gods like to be secretly fed and must not be advertised outside. If people are told to go out, ear gods will no longer give him the will, or even bring disaster. The ears around South-East Asia are eccentric, especially for men, who have a passion for old men. ”

“With regard to the history of the ear gods, there is much to be said and the source is long overdue. But this is a very interesting little story. ”

“It is said that this ear god was originally a pair of one-on-one men, with a brother named Dark and a brother named Letter. The two brothers grew completely together from the top of their heads to their heels, born opposite each other, just like the double-faced, never to see each other. The rest is fine, just sharing the same pair of ears. ”

“This pair of ears is very strange: one can only hear the chirping birds thousands of miles away, but cannot discern the sound close by, while the other can only hear close, but not far away, and at the same time only one ear works! ”

“They can manipulate any ear they want, but they're completely different. An inner lust, but because he was born with such a face, he could not reach beautiful girls, gradually distorted his inner heart and became a freak. Another natural coward is afraid of seeing people because of his ugly appearance. ”

“In addition to being different in heart, they have also made a huge difference as to how these two ears should be used. The slutty one wants to hear the sound of pleasure coming from afar, the cowardly one hears the sound of nearby, afraid of danger. ”

“Gradually, the differences between the two people grew bigger and bigger, and they were arguing all the time, but because they were born with their backs turned, and they were all connected, no one could do anything about it, not to convince each other. ”

“Later, they heard that a magical old fairy lived on the Mount of Immortals and was able to solve all the problems. So they decided to ask for the help of the fairy. ”

“After so much ordeal, they finally climbed up the hill and met the all-powerful old fairy! ”

“After listening to both of them, the old fairy took out a sword and said," It's simple. If I split the sword, you'll have one ear each, and you can use whatever you want. Then you will march forward, one to the east and one to the west, and you will never see each other again, or you will be punished by heaven. ”

“The two happily agreed that the old fairy had fallen with a sword, and the two separated, all getting the ears they wanted. ”

“It was supposed to be a big joy, but then they found more and more distress. The one who was born horny, because he could hear the sound of joy and had no connections, he couldn't help but follow his voice to peek. But the closer you get, the lower the sound, until you see the image that's been itching him for a long time, but you can't hear a thing. ”

“Another coward, always afraid of others hurting himself. It was reassuring that there was a man behind it, but now that it was split up, it always felt like someone was going to kill him from behind at any time. ”

“At the same time, they both remembered that they had another ear - both of which were supposed to be their own. ”

“So they were all killing themselves, turning in the same direction, towards each other. ”

“At first, they were cautious and afraid that they would find out, but slowly they were very happy. Because they found that the other side, which was empty, also had a little ear, which became louder every step of the way, and the sound they wanted to hear, became clearer. ”

“But what they don't know is that every step they take, they shrink by a point. Until the distant sight of that shadow across the street, it had turned into a rice particle size! ”

“Since then, the slutty can no longer be slutty, but the cowardice has become even more cowardly, fearing that the other party will murder itself, and can only hide in the ears of others, listening exclusively to gossip and rumours. So since time immemorial, there have been two clichés: bias is dark, bias is belief. ”

Zhang Yaowu said this and poured another cup of tea complacently. He continued: "There is also a slightly more recent version of the legend of the Ear Gazette. ”

“As you all know, during the late morning period, there was Wei Zhongxian, the famous archdeacon of Hehe. He was called ‘Nine Thousand Years Old' by the Minister of Manchukuo. Until later, he was able to build temples for him all over the country, to the same extent as a sacred immortal. The Secretary of History said that he was overzealous and that the heavens and the earth were thick. If he did evil, it might be true that he could build a temple, but he had to do it. ”

“He was said to have had a strange illness at the time, always feeling a little man sitting in his ear, chattering every day, looking for countless doctors, grabbing more than a hundred formulas without any effect. Later, a Taoist said that the nine-thousand-year-old had not been ill at all, but had been favoured by the fairies. ”

“Wei Zhongxian asked what was going on. The Taoist said the fairy resides in your ear, commonly known as the Ear God. Having been able to hear the words of all the people of the world, he/she is then selected to speak to himself/herself in relation to his/her residency. Because at 9,000 years of age you have a great reputation and are well known to the world, there are more words that come back. If you want to get rid of this disturbance and not take prescriptions, just build some temples for him and make yourself look like one, so that the Ear God can live separately, and you will naturally be spared his suffering. ”

“Wei Zhongxian did a lot better after listening. Moreover, a number of Higashiyashi parties have actually heard him secretly denounce his guilt. However, he was very defensive, but failed to prevent the newly enlisted emperor Zhu Yuzhao, who had already set his heart on him! Until after fleeing to Fucheng, Wei Zhongxian heard the emperor's own killing order through the ear gods again. Wei Zhongxian saw that the great power had gone, drank it and then died. ”

“With the death of Wei Zhongxian, a fierce upward and downward campaign was launched to eradicate the castration party. Those temples set up for him were naturally destroyed continuously, and the ear gods were transformed from gods believed by men to demons shouted by everyone. Once the power of faith had been lost, the deities of ear and ear, who had nowhere to live, could only stay away from Nakahara and follow the exiled prisoners all the way to South-East Asia. ”

“But Wei Zhongxian was a castrated man, and the ear god who resided in him changed his temper. And because many gods have been overthrown, a large number of people have been converted from worship to hatred, the power of faith has been greatly diminished, the original deity of ear and ear gods is not strong, so the demon has gone off, adultery, special interest in old men. ”

“Of course, the story is obviously coming out of the original, and most likely from rumours made maliciously by those who fought for its orthodox followers. ”

“Not rumors!” All of a sudden, he didn't speak for half a day, and he kept thinking about what Cold Sheng was shouting.
