English version: In a certain place, some months later, someone kicked a servant, accidentally hitting a pillar. The toe ruptured, forming a strange sore that gradually swelled up to the whole body, causing extreme pain. He saw Weituo (Skanda, a Buddhist guardian deity) come to reprimand him and died. Zhang Hanchong from Quanzhou was a Jinshi (successful candidate in the highest imperial examination) in the Bingchen year (the specific year needs to be checked, for example, it could be the sixth year of Tianqi (1626) in the Ming Dynasty or the thirteenth year of Shunzhi (1656) in the Qing Dynasty). He served as the magistrate of Jintan County. As he was about to go to the capital to await selection for an official post, one day while sitting in the public hall, a monk suddenly came directly to the hall and said: 'I was your Daoist friend in a previous life. Seeing that you are in trouble, I have come specifically to save you. You can resign from your official position and enter the mountains with me to study the Dao, which will not only save you from disaster but also liberate you from birth and death.' Zhang Hanchong thought this was absurd. The monk then recounted several things from his childhood, which even his wife and children did not know. Zhang Hanchong was very surprised and wanted to follow his words, but he was ultimately prevented by his wife and children. The monk then left. Zhang Hanchong went to the capital to participate in the selection of officials, and as soon as he arrived at the capital gate, a strange carbuncle suddenly grew on his foot. He could not take off his boots, so he cut open the boots to treat it, but it did not get better, and he died. Xu Zhaoxin from Jinjiang was a Juren (successful candidate in the provincial imperial examination) in the Wuwu year (the specific year needs to be checked, for example, it could be the forty-sixth year of Wanli (1618) in the Ming Dynasty or the fifteenth year of Shunzhi (1658) in the Qing Dynasty). He went to Fuzhou to visit his teacher (the chief examiner of the imperial examination). He happened to pass by a nunnery, fell in love with a young nun, and then used his official power to coerce her and forcibly defiled her. The next day, he suddenly bit off his own tongue and died. Wang from Jinjiang was known for his writing among the students. He brought wine to Chengtian Temple to drink, entered the Sutra Repository, and saw a young Shami (novice monk) sitting upright reading scriptures. He forced him to drink wine. When the Shami refused, he hugged and teased him. Three days after returning home, he suddenly slapped his own mouth and cursed himself. His family did not know what he was saying. After half a day, he bit off his tongue and died. Yang Gong, a student of Xiaofeng County, bought eight arquebuses and raised several hunting dogs, harming living beings everywhere. One day, he wanted to go to the village to get rice. The whole family had the same dream, in which it was said: 'Ten years of creating karma, the retribution is coming.' Yang Gong did not believe it. He took the arquebus to the village again, saw a pheasant, and shot at it with the arquebus, accidentally hitting his own head, causing his brains to burst and he died. The daughter of the Xu family in Quanzhou, named Sanjie, was sixteen years old and not yet married. She suddenly fell ill, and her parents sought a doctor for her. The daughter said to her parents with tears in her eyes: 'I will surely die, there is no need to find a doctor. Because in my previous life, I was the daughter-in-law of a certain family, and my husband favored a maid. Because of jealousy, I murdered her. Now she is suing me in the court of the Mingguan (officials of the underworld).' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 当往偿之。不得逭也。翼日遂死。

English version: He should repay it and could not escape. He died the next day. A daughter of the Xu family in Quanzhou, named Tidi. After marrying, she gave birth to several sons. During her confinement, she ate a lot of chicken, killing quite a few. Later, she fell ill again during confinement and saw a group of chickens demanding her life, and she died. Yao from Jinjiang, whose cousin Xu Xiaowu, donated a hundred taels of silver to relieve famine due to a bad harvest, entrusting Yao to manage the matter. Yao embezzled more than ten taels to enrich himself. A few days later, he fell ill and cursed himself, saying, 'Xu entrusted you to relieve the famine, how could you embezzle and conceal it, causing many to starve to death. Now I will take your life in return.' Then he died. Later, his two sons also starved to death. A daughter of the Xu family in Quanzhou, named Xiying, contracted infantile malnutrition at the age of seven and was on the verge of death. Her father, Yuhai, chanted Buddha's name loudly while playing a chime to send her off. Her breath had already stopped, but suddenly she revived. So they invited a nun to recite one hundred and twenty volumes of the Diamond Sutra. The daughter was peaceful as if she had no illness. The whole family said that she was cured. The daughter said to her father alone, 'I will borrow a few days to listen to the sutra and then leave.' After finishing listening to the sutra, she passed away. There was a man surnamed Lai in Quanzhou, whose family was very wealthy and liked to harm living beings. He opened a small pond in his house, covered it with iron nets above and below, and raised loaches, eels, fish, turtles, and the like, for occasional consumption. Later, he fell ill and was about to die. His sons were lined up in front of the bed. Lai suddenly disappeared. After searching everywhere, he was found in the iron net of the small pond, already dead. There was a rogue in Jinjiang, whose name I forgot, who always made a living by killing dogs. He slaughtered countless dogs beside the ditch at the street entrance of Xingquan Road. Suddenly one day, he lay down beside the ditch and barked like a dog, and died a few days later. During the Shenzong (1068-1085) era, there was a man named Wang Wanzuo in Nandao, who was in charge of patrolling the river. He was the most honest and upright official, but his temperament was very strict and impatient, and many people lost their lives under his beatings. Suddenly he fell ill, and hundreds of wronged ghosts in the yamen shouted before and after him. His fellow censors went to visit him, and no one did not hear or see them. At the fifth watch, Wang Wanzuo did not get up. There was a resident in the mountains of Nan'an County. He got up at night and saw a neighbor driving a person into his house, but that person refused. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
