Turtle climber

 


Turtle climber

 

The old Taoist priest Shui Ding called Big Elvis "old man", which made Big Elvis a little unhappy. However, Big Cat King's close servant, the guardian Ding, supported the old Taoist priest Shui Ding and deceived Big Cat King together, saying: "Old man" means old longevity star, leader, son of heaven.

Why does the guardian of the house speak for the old Taoist priest Shui Ding? Crow Betty told Agudengba and coachman Azhuo that the wife of the housekeeper and the wife of the old Taoist priest Shuiding were both turtle-climbing women. So what is a "turtle-climbing woman"?

Crow Betty said to Agudumba to the coachman Adhuo:

Since ancient times, Chinese history and culture have been full of various folk sayings, such as "The human heart is unpredictable", "The human heart is separated from the belly", "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", etc. Among them, a well-known saying is "The needle behind the wasp's tail is the most poisonous to a woman's heart."

Crow Betty said: The source of this sentence is in the ancient masterpiece "The Romance of the Gods". Jiang Ziya felt deeply saddened by his wife's infidelity, so he sighed like this: "Green Bamboo Snake'er" Mouth, a needle in the tail of a wasp, there are two kinds of freedom, but the most poisonous woman's heart." There is another saying from ancient Chinese, that is, "Although women can be poisonous in all kinds of ways, the most poisonous thing is the woman who crawls on a tortoise." So, what is this "turtle-climbing woman"?

According to historical records, the "Turtle Climbing Woman" was originally a rural woman from Yiwu and Dongyang, Zhejiang. During their leisure time, they would get together and study how to make money to supplement their family income. They started out as goddesses and told people's fortunes, but as time went by, their behavior gradually became worse and worse, and finally they even turned into charlatans.

Whenever these "turtle-climbing women" spot a house, they will first pretend to be gods and ghosts to scare people, and then make up some stories of "revenge of gods and ghosts" to deceive the family. They will continue to deceive the family until all their wealth is drained by them, and then leave to find the next target. Their intelligence network is very large and can even be connected to various provinces and abroad, which makes their behavior more covert and harder to be discovered.

The evil deeds of the "Turtle Climbing Women" don't stop there. After they defrauded people of all their wealth and kidnapped their children, they would also abduct and sell the women in the family when the men were not at home. In this way, an originally happy and happy family was completely destroyed by them. The family was ruined and all property was lost. This kind of behavior is simply unscrupulous and outrageous.

After Big Elvis came to the throne, he ordered a group of turtle-climbing women to be sentenced to death, that is, to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. These turtle-climbing women were punished by Lingchi, but they did not gain sympathy from the common people. Instead, the common people applauded.

Why does the guardian of the house speak for the old Taoist priest Shui Ding? Crow Betty told Agudengba and coachman Azhuo that the wife of the housekeeper and the wife of the old Taoist priest Shuiding were both turtle-climbing women. So what is a "turtle-climbing woman"?

Crow Betty said to Agudemba and coachman Adhuo:

The old Taoist priest Shui Ding was originally a cunning villain who relied on the art of witchcraft to harm the people of the world. His wife Feng Taini is a bit similar to what we often call witches and witches. Feng Taini initially relied on self-developed herbal medicine to practice medicine. She once developed a medicinal powder that could anesthetize people during tooth extraction. This ability to treat toothaches made her famous, and many patients would choose to see Feng Taini. Ni goes to the dental clinic.

Later, Feng Taini discovered that it was too slow to make money by treating toothache! Relying on the reputation she accumulated through her medical practice, she began to publicize among the people that her medical skills were learned from gods, and that she had the ability to ward off evil spirits and predict the future. Because her husband was the old Taoist priest Shui Ding, in order to enhance her persuasion, Feng Taini got some turtle shells, burned them, carved some strange symbols on them, and asked the old Taoist priest Shui Ding to carry these turtle shells everywhere At this time, many honest people were deceived and handed their money into the hands of the old Taoist priest and his wife, asking them to avoid disasters.

At that time, the guardian was the attendant of the feudal king, the tabby cat. When the taboo ascended the throne and became the great cat king, the guardian also transformed from an attendant to a close minister. Yan Poting, the wife of the housekeeper, was Feng Taini's best friend. The two of them used turtle shells to cheat and cheat everywhere, which is why people later called them "turtle-climbing women".

At this time, Yan Poting and Feng Taini were still just charlatans, and they were far from being completely conscientious. But things changed later. Yan Poting's husband became a close associate of the Big Cat King, and Feng Taini's husband, the Taoist Shuiding, was also deeply favored by the Big Cat King. So they were no longer satisfied with making money by cheating, but engaged in The business of human trafficking started; because these two tortoise-climbing women advertised their superior skills everywhere, many poor families gave their children to them as apprentices, but they sold them for money; in addition to abducting children, these people also abducted children. Women, they use drugs to confuse women and then sell them; what is even more outrageous is that for money, they actually start to commit murder.

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a medicine called Ziheche, which has the effect of tonifying the kidneys and replenishing qi. In fact, this medicine is a powder made from placenta. Due to the rarity of placenta, the price of Zihe Cart was also very expensive at that time, and turtle-climbing women Yan Poting and Feng Taini focused on this. They use their status as doctors or get close to pregnant women on the pretext of divining the gender of the fetus. When the pregnant woman lets down her guard, they will charm the pregnant woman, then remove the fetus, take away the placenta, and finally destroy the body and eliminate traces. Later, incidents of abduction and the killing of pregnant women occurred in many places, which aroused the vigilance of the government. However, during the investigation, the government learned that the matter involved Big Cat King's close minister Hu Jia Ding and the old Taoist priest Shui Ding, so they lost their conscience and let it go. Therefore, Yan Poting and Feng Taini, who were angry with both humans and gods, continued to do many evil things, and the tortoise woman did not disappear.

Where there are clouds, there is the world, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there will be good and evil. Tortoise climbing is a profession that has been practiced since ancient times, or it is called a trade, which means cheating. A turtle-climbing woman refers to a woman who cheats.

The old Taoist priest Shui Ding said to Big Elvis:

As we all know, the turtle is the northern Xuanwu among the four mythical beasts. It was named Zhenwu Emperor during the Tang Dynasty. The turtle has a long lifespan and is a very spiritual animal, so the turtle shell left behind after it dies will be regarded as a spiritual object by people. The structure of the turtle's skeleton is very unique, and there are tortoise patterns on the back of the turtle. There are three grids in the middle, which represent the three talents of heaven, earth, and man. There are ten grids around it that represent the heavenly stems. Some turtle shells also have twenty-four grids, which represent the twenty. There are four solar terms; there are twelve grids on the bottom of the turtle shell, representing the twelve earthly branches. Because of these characteristics, using the turtle shell as a divination tool is perfect.

The old Taoist priest Shui Ding said: Nowadays, when some people scold the "turtle-climbing woman", it is disrespectful to the divine turtle. Dear Elvis, Your Majesty will never allow anyone to attribute evil to the mythical beast Xuanwu.

The ignorant Elvis ordered her to be silenced and not allowed to say the word "Turtle Woman" again. From then on, "Turtle Woman" was cleared of any crime.

The crow Betty flapped her wings and sang the ballad "The Turtle Woman" to Agudemba and the coachman Adhuo:

 

The green bamboo hides the snake's mouth,

The wasp hurts people with needles on their tails.

The most poisonous person in human nature is the tortoise-crawling woman.

Evil-hearted and practicing witchcraft.

 

Divination and fortune telling, Feng Shui,

Pretending to steal money.

Kill pregnant women and steal their placenta,

Doing many evil things makes people panic.

 

Even if a woman is poisonous in all kinds of ways,

The most poisonous one is the emperor.

The emperor is ignorant, the court is black,

Corrupt officials ruin everything.

 

Witches and Taoist priests cast demonic barriers,

Using ghosts and gods to deceive people.

The powerful collude to exert lustful power;

The people are helpless amid the bloody storm.

 

Pour the copper coins into the turtle shell,

Look at the number of positive and negative tests.

Heaven knows and earth knows that people are ignorant,

Good luck, bad luck, good fortune and misfortune are determined by destiny.

  1. Taking the legendary wise Agu Demba as the protagonist, I started to create the Chinese-English version of "Snow Land Fable" using the traditional fable creation method that combines poetry and prose. Writing fableskes me feel like a child again. Studying snowy culture is my prescription to prevent Alzheimer’s di masease.
