The Story of Fisherman, Devil, and Four Colored Fish

Fisherman and Devil
Long, long time ago, there was an elderly fisherman who made a living by fishing every day. The old fisherman's family, in addition to his wife, has three children who rely on him for support, so the family is very poor and has difficulty living. Although he makes a living by fishing, he has a fresh habit of only fishing four nets a day and never willing to fish an extra net.
One noon, the old fisherman arrived at the seaside. He put down his fishing cage, rolled up his sleeves, went into the water to set it up, and then scattered his net into the sea. After waiting for a while, he began to collect the net. The fishing net is very heavy, no matter how hard he tries, he can't pull it up. He had no choice but to return to the shore, lay a wooden stake on the shore, tie the net rope to the stake, then take off his clothes, dive into the sea, exert all his strength, and finally put away the fishing net. Then, he joyfully returned to the shore, put on his clothes, and carefully examined the net. But there was only one dead donkey in the net, and the fishing net was also broken by the dead donkey.
Seeing this situation, he felt discouraged and sighed, "There's nothing I can do but hope that the Almighty God Allah can save me. It's really fresh to net up this kind of thing!" So he murmured
Oh night! Those who run on the brink of death,
Don't overwork yourself too much,
Clothing and food are not solely earned through labor.
Have you never seen it,
Under the sea and sky illuminated by the stars,
The fisherman stood by the seaside,
Staring at the internet head——
Are waves washing over him?
At night, he guards the net and fish.
In the morning,
People who are not affected by the cold wind enjoy fish meat.
Master,
You give this person enjoyment,
Make that person cry;
You call this person hardworking,
But let that person enjoy
After reciting, the fisherman muttered to himself with a gloomy mood, "Go to another internet cafe. Thanks to Allah, I may receive a reward
The fisherman sorted out his things, wrung out his net, brought it into the water, and said, 'In the name of Allah,' while scattering the net into the sea. After the net fell to the bottom of the sea for a while, we started to collect it. This time the net is heavier, as if a big fish has already been caught. He tied up the net rope, took off his clothes, dived into the sea, and went to great lengths to get the net ashore. However, at first glance, it was just a clay pot filled with mud and sand.
He felt very painful and hopeless, and murmured with resentment:
What a furious fate!
Why don't you stop,
Can you be gentler?
I am busy running around,
But the source of clothing and food has been cut off.
Many rude and foolish people,
Soaring to great heights,
Those who know books and etiquette,
But he is penniless
The fisherman was unwilling and threw away the clay pot, cleaned the fishing net, wrung out the water, prayed to heaven, and then descended into the water again, casting the net and tightly pulling the rope. After the net fell into the water for a long time, he began to collect it, but this time the net was all broken bones, broken glass, and various shells. This made the old fisherman extremely angry. He couldn't help but cry and sadly recited:
This is your food and clothing,
Not bound by your constraints,
Not allowing you to survive.
Remember! Learning will not give you clothes,
Calligraphy cannot provide you with food.
Clothing and food are predetermined by fate,
There are no loopholes to exploit.
A bird swims and hovers,
Fly from east to west;
The other one sleeps peacefully in its nest,
But enjoy a life of hunger and cold
He looked up at the sky and said, "Oh Allah! I only fish four nets a day, as you know. Tomorrow I have already caught three nets, but still haven't caught a single fish. Oh Allah! Please reward me with food and clothing, this is my last net

He recited the name of the Almighty God Allah and cast the net into the sea. After it fell to the bottom of the water for a while, he began to retract the net, but still couldn't pull it. The net seemed to be connected to the bottom of the sea. He sighed, "There's nothing I can do, I just hope Allah can help me
So he murmured
Bah, this world!
If this continues,
We will cry out in disaster,
In such an era,
Even if you pass the morning safely,
I drink the wine of pain at night
The fisherman took off his clothes, dived into the water, explored and worked hard, and finally retrieved the net from the bottom of the sea. Open it and you'll see a brass bottle in the shape of a gallbladder inside. The bottle mouth is sealed with tin, and the seal of Suleiman Ben Dawood is printed on the tin.
Looking at the gall bottle, the fisherman smiled happily and said to himself, "If you take this bottle to the market, it can definitely sell for ten gold coins
He picked up the gall bladder and shook it. The gall bladder was very heavy and seemed to be filled with something inside. He muttered to himself, 'What exactly is in this bottle? By the name of Allah, I swear to open it and see for myself, and then take it to the market to sell.' He took out his small knife, slowly peeled off the tin from the bottle mouth, and then turned the bottle upside down. He shook the neck of the bottle a few times to pour out the contents inside. But there was nothing, and the fisherman felt very fresh.
After waiting for a while, a wisp of blue smoke emerged from the bottle, floating into the air and then spreading across the earth. It gradually contracted back into a ball, and eventually condensed into a devil. He stood in front of the fisherman, disheveled and towering like a mountain: with a fortress like head, iron fork like arms, mast like legs, cave like mouth, stone like teeth, trumpet like nostrils, lantern like eyes, strange and sinister.
The fisherman was so scared by the strange appearance of this devil that his whole body trembled, he gritted his teeth, his mouth was dry and his tongue was trembling, and he was stunned and didn't know what to do. After a while, he heard the devil say, "Allah is the only Lord, and Suleiman is his follower. O Messenger of Allah, I dare not disobey your commands again. Forgive me
You traitor! You say Suleiman is a follower of Allah, "the fisherman said." Suleiman has been dead for 1800 years, and now it is the last century after Suleiman. How could you, this strange devil, hide in a bottle? Tell me
Allah is the only ruler! Fisherman, let me give you some good news
What joy do you want to give me
What joy? I'm going to kill you fiercely right away
I salvaged you from the sea to the land, released you from the gall bladder, and saved your life. Why did you kill me? Did I commit any crime in saving you
Notify me, what method of death do you want me to choose? How do you want me to execute you
What crime have I committed? Are you going to treat me like this
Fisherman, if you listen to my story, you will have a clear understanding
Tell me, let me know. Has my soul sunk to the bottom of my feet
Fisherman, you should know that I am an evil and heretical heavenly god who does all kinds of evil. I once opposed the Great Saint Suleiman Ben Dawood, went against his teachings, and angered him. He sent the Prime Minister Baruhaia to capture me. The Great Saint Suleiman had advised me to convert to his teachings, but I refused. So he ordered me to take this gall jar, imprison me, seal my mouth with tin, seal it with a seal, and then ordered the gods to throw me into the sea and not stand out.
I live a dull life in the sea. In the first century, I thought to myself, 'Whoever saves me in these hundred years, I will repay him and use my abilities to make him prosperous and powerful for life.' But a hundred years have passed, and no one has come to save me; In the second century, I said, 'Whoever saves me in this century, I will use my abilities to develop underground treasures for them.' But still no one came to save me; In the third century, I thought to myself, 'Whoever saves me in this century, I will repay him and fulfill his three wishes.' So, after four hundred years, no one came to save me. At this moment, I was very angry and swore, 'If anyone comes to rescue me at this time, I will kill him, but I can let him choose his way of death.' And it was at this moment that you saved me, so I want to kill you, but I let you choose your own way of death
Ah! Oh my god! How could I come to rescue you on this day! Please forgive me. If you don't kill me, the Almighty God Allah will forgive you. He will help you defeat your enemy
I have to kill you! Tell me, how do you want to die
I saved your life, can't you forgive me with such kindness
It's precisely because you saved me that I want to kill you
Master Mo, I treated you with kindness, but you repaid me like this? Sigh! The ancient saying is indeed correct:
We did good things to them,
They repay kindness with resentment.
Swear with my life,
This is the behavior of a prostitute.
Do good to those who should not do good,
The end will be as sad as protecting a wolf
Don't say too much! You have to die
In despair, the fisherman thought to himself, "He is just a devil, while I am a dignified human. The Almighty God Allah has given me human intelligence, so I should use strategy to deal with him. I will use strategy and reason to subdue his demonic aura." So he said to the devil, "Do you really have to kill me
Not bad
In the name of the Almighty God Allah, I implore you to tell the truth
When the devil heard the name of Allah, he was caught off guard and trembled uncontrollably. He said, "Okay, you can ask and speak plainly
You used to live in this gallbladder jar, and it's really fresh. Normally, this gallbladder jar can't even accommodate one of your hands, let alone one of your legs. How did it accommodate such a large body like you
Don't you believe I was in this bottle back then
I couldn't believe it without seeing it with my own eyes
At this moment, the devil became proud. He shook himself and turned into smoke, gradually shrinking into a wisp and slowly entering the gall bottle.
The fisherman waited until all the green smoke had entered the bottle, then quickly picked up the tin seal covered with the seal, plugged the bottle mouth, and loudly said, "Tell me, devil, how do you want to die? Now I have decided to throw you into the sea and build a house here to live, and never let people fish on this sea surface again. I want to inform people that there is a devil here. Whoever rescues him from the sea must choose his own way of death and be killed by him
The devil's body was imprisoned in a bottle, trying to escape, but was blocked by Suliman's seal and unable to return outside. Only then did he realize that he had been deceived by the fisherman. In a state of panic, he said:
Fisherman, I was just joking with you
You despicable and shameless devil! It's ridiculous to lie like this. "The fisherman took the gall bottle to the shore and prepared to throw it into the sea.
No, I dare not lie. "The devil tried to show humility and speak kindly, then asked," Fisherman, what are you planning to do with me
I will throw you into the sea. If you have only lived in the sea for 1800 years, then you will live until the end of the world this time. I have told you that if you do not kill me, Allah will forgive you and help you overcome your enemies, but you will not listen to my advice and must repay kindness with resentment. Now that Allah has called you into my hands, I will never show you mercy
Please spare me, let me repay you well
Damn devil! You still want to deceive me. If you don't intend to harm me, the Almighty God Allah will forgive you. But if you are determined to harm me, of course I will put you in a jar and throw you into the sea to suffocate you
The devil pleaded, "In the name of Allah, you cannot do this! Although I have done something against my conscience, you are a kind human, and you should forgive me. As the ancients said, 'Those who do evil will repay their kindness with resentment, and their bad deeds will result in their own consequences.'
Stop talking, I must throw you into the sea so that you never have a chance to make a name for yourself. When I begged you so hard and humbly, you insisted on killing me. I saved you, saved your life, but you repaid me with resentment and insisted on killing me. It shows that you are despicable. I not only want to throw you into the sea, but also inform people of your bad behavior, so that they can be careful not to make the same mistake as me once you are salvaged. I want you to live forever, sink to the bottom of the sea, suffer all kinds of pain until the end of the world
Fisherman, let me out. This is your opportunity to speak of benevolence and righteousness. I swear to you that I will never harm you in the future, and I also want to give you something that can make you rich
The fisherman was finally persuaded by the devil and accepted his request. They agreed that the fisherman would release the devil, who must not harm the fisherman and must repay him with his abilities.
The devil swore in the name of Allah, and the fisherman finally believed him. The fisherman opened the bottle, and a wisp of green smoke emerged from the bottle, floating into the air and gradually collecting it, turning into that ferocious devil. As soon as the devil got out of the gall bladder, he immediately kicked it into the sea.
The fisherman was startled when he saw the devil kick the gall bladder into the sea, thinking that he would definitely suffer this time. He secretly sighed, "This is not a good sign!" Then he gathered up his courage and said, "My lord, Allah said," You should keep your promise, because your promise will be subject to scrutiny. "You have made a promise with me beforehand, swear not to deceive me, and if you do not break it, Allah will not punish you. Although Allah is tolerant, he never neglects
The devil burst into laughter.
After laughing, he pulled out his feet and walked forward, saying, "Fisherman, come with me
Fisherman and four-color fish
The fisherman followed the devil tremblingly, not believing that he could escape. They went straight ahead, passing through suburban areas, crossing mountains, and arrived at an open valley with a clear lake at the bottom.
The devil waded into the lake and said to the fisherman, 'Follow me.' So the fisherman followed the devil down to the lake.
The devil stood below and ordered him to set up his net and fish. The fisherman lowered his head and saw white, red, blue, and yellow fish swimming at the bottom of the lake, which surprised him greatly. So he took off the net and scattered it in the lake. With one net, he caught four fish, one of each color.
The fisherman looked at the fish in the net and felt very happy.
The devil said to him, "Fisherman, when you return, bring the fish to the palace and offer it to the king. He will make you rich and prosperous. I swear in the name of Allah that this is the only way I can repay you now. Please forgive me. I have been submerged in the sea for 1800 years before seeing the light of day, and I should repay you. From now on, you only need to come to the lake every day to catch a net of fish for the king. Don't be greedy. Now, Allah will bless you
After the devil finished speaking, he stomped his feet and the ground cracked open, sinking out and disappearing.
The fisherman returned to the city with four fish, thinking about the process of dealing with demons along the way, feeling very strange.
He returned home, took a bowl, filled it with water, and put the fish into the bowl. Fish get water, become active, and swim back and forth in the bowl. He followed the devil's command and brought fish into the palace with a bowl on his head. The king looked at the four-color fish presented by the fisherman and was very surprised. It was the first time he had seen such a fish in his life. He instructed the prime minister, 'Give these few fish to the female chef and let her fry them carefully.'
There used to be a female slave in the palace who was good at cooking. She was sent as a gift by the Greek king three days ago, and the king didn't know her skills yet. He asked the female chef to fry fish in order to test her cooking skills.
The prime minister brought the fish to the kitchen and handed it over to the female chef, saying, "Tomorrow someone will bring four fish to the king. The master hopes you can show your martial arts skills, cook them seriously, and let the king enjoy them excitedly
After the prime minister finished giving orders, he returned to the king. The king ordered him to reward the fisherman with forty gold coins, and the prime minister obeyed the order to reward the fisherman. The fisherman was overjoyed when he received the reward and stumbled back home. He sat down and stood up, thinking he was in a dream. He used the reward money to buy essential items for daily life.
That night, the fisherman's family sadly spent the night.
The female chef in the palace, following the king's instructions, proceeded to dissect and wash the fish, put it on a frying pan, and then put it into the pan to fry. After frying one side, she started flipping the fish and prepared to fry the second side. At this moment, a crack suddenly opened between the walls on one side of the kitchen, and a very bright and charming young girl walked out. The girl was wearing a blue silk scarf, beautiful earrings, bracelets on her arms, rare gemstone rings on her fingers, and a rattan cane in her hand.
The girl poked one end of the cane into the frying pan and said, "Fish! Do you remember the Old Testament
The female chef was scared unconscious by this scene. The girl repeated her question time and time again. At this moment, the fish in the frying pan suddenly lifted their heads together and answered clearly and loudly:
Yes, yes, "he continued to chant
If you turn against each other,
We also turned against each other;
If you fulfill the contract,
We also fulfill our obligations;
If you abandon your oath,
We are also here to accompany you
After the fish finished singing, the girl used a cane to flip over the frying pan and walked back to its original place through the crack in the wall. Then the kitchen wall closed and returned to its original state.
The female chef slowly woke up and when she opened her eyes, all four fish were burnt and withered like charcoal. In addition to being surprised, she sighed and said, "On my first expedition, the gun barrel broke first." She was anxious, angry, and unconscious.
At this moment, the prime minister came to the kitchen and saw the female cook awake unconscious, so he kicked her with his foot. The female chef woke up, crying, and informed the prime minister in detail about the situation. The prime minister was surprised when he heard this and said, "This is really a fresh thing
So he immediately sent someone to call the fisherman and shouted loudly, "Fisherman! Bring me four more of the fish you brought last time
The fisherman came to the lake, cast his net, and caught the same four fish. He was frightened and sent to the palace. The prime minister once again brought the fish to the kitchen and gave it to the female chef, saying, "Fry it in front of me, let me see this strange thing with my own eyes
The female chef cleaned the fish, put on a frying pan, and put the fish in the pan. This time, when they just started frying fish, the wall immediately cracked, and the girl appeared in front of them again. Her dress and cane in her hand were exactly the same as the first time. She poked the cane into the pot and said
Fish! Do you remember the Old Testament
Accompanied by the girl's voice, the fish in the pot lifted their heads together and chanted:
If you turn against each other,
We also turned against each other;
If you fulfill the contract,
We also fulfill our obligations;
If you abandon your oath,
We are also here to accompany you
After listening, the girl used a cane to flip over the frying pan and returned to its original place. The wall immediately closed and returned to its original state.
The prime minister was very surprised and said, "This matter is difficult to conceal and must be reported to the king." So the prime minister immediately went to see the king and reported this fresh news to him. The king listened and said, 'I must see it with my own eyes.' Then he sent someone to call the fisherman and gave him three days to bring four more fresh four-color fish into the palace.
The fisherman went back to the lake anxiously, caught four fish, and promptly brought them to the palace. The king ordered to reward the fisherman with four hundred gold coins before saying to the prime minister:
Come on, you can enjoy frying fish in front of me
Yes, as ordered, "the prime minister replied, immediately bringing a frying pan, washing the fish, and placing it in the pan. When he put the frying pan on the fire and started frying, the walls suddenly cracked open between them. This time, a burly man emerged from inside, resembling a bull and a remnant of the Woding tribe. He held a green tree cane in his hand and asked in a rough voice, "Fish! Fish! Do you remember the Old Testament
As soon as the words fell, all the fish in the pot lifted their heads and replied, "Yes, yes, we fulfilled our promise." Then they murmured
If you turn against each other,
We also turned against each other;
If you fulfill the contract,
We also fulfill our obligations;
If you abandon your oath,
We are also here to accompany you
The black slave had already left, lifted a branch, overturned the frying pan, and then hid through a crack in the wall.
The king carefully examined the fish and saw that they were all burnt dry like charcoal. He couldn't help but tremble and said, "We can't remain silent about such things. This fish must have had a strange fate." So he ordered the fisherman to enter the palace and asked, "Damn fisherman, where did you catch this strange fish from
It came from a lake in a valley outside the city
How far is it from here
Your Majesty, it's about a half-hour journey
After listening to the fisherman's words, the king was surprised. He was eager to figure out the hidden plot, so he ordered his subordinates to immediately prepare and set off. So, the king's troops marched out of the city in a grand and clear manner. The fisherman leads the way ahead. They passed through the suburbs, climbed mountains, and eventually arrived at a vast valley. The lake was clear to the bottom, surrounded by mountains, with red, white, yellow, and blue fish swimming inside. Everyone was amazed because they had never seen such a scene before, and no one had ever seen this lake. The king asked the older people, and they all said:
We have never seen this lake in our entire lives
The king said, "I swear in the name of Allah that I will find out the origin of the lake and the fish before I am willing to return to the palace." So he ordered his subordinates to camp on the mountain and said to the wise, knowledgeable, and experienced prime minister, "Tomorrow night, I want to hide quietly in my tent alone, blocking all nobles, generals, and servants. Notify them that I am not in good health, cannot receive them, and cannot reveal my true intentions to anyone
The prime minister followed orders and carefully guarded outside the tent.
The king changed into casual clothes, put on his sword, quietly left the camp, and climbed up the mountain under the cover of night. He always trudged until dawn, enduring the heat and exhaustion for a whole day and night. The next day, after walking for another day and night, at daybreak, he found a faint shadow in the distance. He was very happy and said:
Maybe I can meet someone who can tell me the origin of the lake and the fish
That black shadow line was originally a palace built of black stone, with two gates that opened and closed.
The king came happily to the door and knocked lightly, but there was no reply. He knocked again for the second and third time, but no one agreed. He knocked fiercely for a while, but no one agreed. He thought to himself, 'Without a doubt, this must be an empty room.' So he mustered up his courage, broke into the door, went to the corridor, and shouted loudly:
People living in the house! I am a stranger. As I pass by here, do you have any food that can satisfy my hunger? "He shouted three or four times, but no one agreed.
He mustered up his courage, refreshed his spirit, and rushed straight into the hall. The room was empty but well-organized, with all the furnishings made of silk, very luxurious. There was a sparkling carpet on the ground, embroidered curtains hanging in front of the windows, and four arched halls surrounding a spacious courtyard. There were stone benches and a fountain pool in the courtyard, with four golden lions squatting by the pool, spewing pearl like water from their mouths. Songbirds were kept in the courtyard, and golden nets were hung in the air to trap birds. The scenery here is puzzling, but no one has come to talk to the king. The fresh mountains, lakes, four-color fish, and palaces surprised and suffocated the king.
There was nothing he could do, he sat dejectedly in front of the door, bowing his head in contemplation. At this moment, he suddenly heard a gloomy sigh in between. The voice murmured:
I'll hide everything from you,
But you exposed yourself.
Sleepiness fades from my eyes,
In exchange for insomnia.
… "
The king stood up in response and looked inside, only to see a curtain hanging from the hall door. He reached out and lifted the curtain, and a young man sat on a bed behind the scenes, which was over a foot high. This young man is a handsome, dazzling, and graceful figure, who is:
A handsome young man with black hair and pink face,
Day and night appear in front of people.
It is undeniable that he has a mole on his cheek,
Autumn peonies all have a black spot.
The king was overjoyed when he saw the young man and greeted him.
The young man sat upright, wearing an Egyptian style embroidered robe with gold thread and a pearl crown, yet his eyebrows and eyes were filled with sorrow. He politely bowed to the king and continued, "Due to my disability, I cannot stand up to greet you. Please forgive me
Young man, there's no need to be humble. I'm your guest now. I came to you for a major matter. Can you tell me the origin of the lakes, four-color fish, and this palace here? I want to know why you live here alone? Why are you so sad and painful
The young man listened to the king's words, tears streaming down his face, and couldn't help but mournfully chant:
People with heavy dreams,
How many people have fallen under the domination of the times,
How many people have stood up again.

Entrust everything to the master of humanity,
Setting aside hatred,
No need to trace:
What has already disappeared, why has it evolved like this
Because fate is the root of everything
After listening to all of this, the king felt fresh and asked, "Young man, why are you crying sadly
How can I not be sad about my experience! "He lifted his robe and showed the king his lower body. It turned out that half of the young man's body, from waist to feet, had turned into stone, except for a sensation in his upper body.
The king couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this situation and let out a long sigh, "Young man, you have added new sorrow to my old injury. I came here to inquire about the four-color fish, but now besides the condition of the fish, I also want to know about you. There is no other way but to hope for the help of the Almighty God Allah. Young man, please inform me of your situation
I will notify you
I'm listening, please speak up
I have had a strange experience with the four-color fish myself, and if I record it, it would be a good lesson for my ancestors
What's going on here
The Experience of the Enchanted Youth
Sir, you should know that my late father was once the king of a country called 'Black Island', named Hamoud. Black Island is surrounded by mountains on all sides. My late father ruled for seventy years. After his death, I took over the throne and married my uncle's daughter. We are in love with each other, loving each other deeply. She respects me so much that she doesn't want to eat unless she sees me. This kind of life lasted for a full five years. One day, she went to the bathhouse to take a shower, and I instructed the chef to prepare dinner quickly so that she could enjoy it together when she returned. In advance, I reported in this palace that two palace maids were sitting at the head and foot of the bed to serve. Because my wife was not by my side, I felt restless and lay in bed, tossing and turning, just closing my eyes to rest. The two palace maids thought I was asleep and started chatting. I heard the palace maid sitting at the bedside say:
Mais, our master is extremely pitiful! He has been living with us, the magician's wife, and it's really a waste of his youth
Yeah, may Allah punish this evil woman! "Said the palace maid sitting at the foot of the bed." How could our master, who is so young, marry such a woman
The master is extremely foolish and doesn't care about restraining her at all
Damn you! If the master knew about her condition, could he not interfere? She was fooling around behind her back. The master drinks alcohol before going to bed every day, and she puts anesthesia in the alcohol. The master will wake up after drinking, but of course, he doesn't know where she went, what she did, or where she came back from. She dresses up neatly, slips out, and only returns in the morning. Then she extinguishes the incense and smokes it in front of the master's nose, and the master will wake up
Upon hearing the palace maid's conversation, I was both anxious and angry, my face turning black.
In the evening, my wife came back from the bathhouse to take a shower, and we prepared meals and ate and drank together. After dinner, we sat and chatted for a while. It's getting late, I'm tidying up as usual to prepare for sleep. My wife, as usual, instructed the servant to bring me wine and handed it to me with her own hands. I took the drink and secretly poured it out, then pretended to be awake and fell onto the bed, pulling the blanket over as if I had fallen asleep. At this moment, I heard my wife muttering to herself:
Go to sleep with you, don't get up again. I hate you, especially your personal image. I'm tired of you, and I don't know how much longer I have to endure before Anla comes to take away your soul and make you die
After she finished speaking, she calmly put on her fancy clothes, applied makeup, and dressed up. Then, she took my sword and opened the door to go out.
I immediately jumped out of bed and followed my wife out. She walked out of the palace gate, through a street and alley, and arrived at the city gate. She muttered something to herself, and the iron lock immediately fell down, and the city gate opened. She slipped out of the city, and I followed her quietly, chasing after her all the way to a group of mounds. There stands a fortress in the mound, with a brick dome shaped house inside. I followed her out and climbed onto the dome to supervise her. She came to meet a black slave living in the house. The black slave's lips broke apart into a line, protruding outwards, wearing dirty clothes, and lying diagonally on a pile of sugarcane leaves.
My wife knelt in front of the black slave, kissed the ground, and then the slave lifted his head and cursed:
You damn thing, why did you delay for so long
My master! You don't know, my cousin and I were married before? But I hate him and don't want to live with him. If it weren't for your safety, I would definitely destroy his city before sunrise, make owls and crows roar everywhere, let wolves gather in groups, and move all the stones in the city to Gofu Mountain

Damn it, do you still dare to lie and deceive me? In the name of a black hero, we black people have much stronger heroic spirit than you white people. From now on, if you continue to delay and behave, I swear to cut off all contact with you. You dirty, despicable, and despicable guy, you actually play with me at will
Seeing such a scene and listening to such a conversation, I was so angry beforehand that my head and mind were swollen. The whole universe seemed to become gloomy, and I felt like my soul was out of my body.
My wife had always stood in front of the black slaves, crying and groveling, begging, "My master! If you hate me, who else will cherish me? If you abandon me, who else will take me in?" She wept sadly until the black man forgave her, then she jumped up and said
My master! Do you have any reward for me to eat here
Go open that copper basin, "the black man said," there are cooked mouse bones inside. You can use them to gnaw on them. There's leftover soup in the jar, go and drink it My wife did indeed follow his instructions, gnawing on bones, drinking leftover soup, and then washing her hands and rinsing her mouth.
I saw my wife's despicable behavior and finally realized that she was an evil person, so angry that I wanted to commit suicide. I tiptoed down from the roof, broke into the house, picked up the sword my wife had brought, and pulled it out. I was furious beforehand and struck the black slave's neck with a sword, thinking it had already taken his life.
When I wielded the sword, I intended to cut off the veins and arteries on the black slave's neck, but only injured his flesh and throat. He kept panting heavily beforehand, and I don't think he will survive. At this moment, my wife took the opportunity to escape, unaware that it was me who did it.
I put my sword back in its scabbard, hurried back to the city, arrived at the palace, and then leaned down on the bed to sleep.
In the morning, my wife woke me up. I saw her cut her hair short and dressed in mourning clothes, saying to me, 'Brother! Please don't blame me for what I did, because my mother passed away and my father died in battle. Two brothers, one was stung to death by a scorpion, and the other choked to death.'. I should mourn and be filial when I have experienced such a tragic event
I don't object to you, "I said calmly to her," you can do whatever you like
From then on, she mourned all day long, wept in her corner, and focused on filial piety.
One year later, she said to me, "I plan to build a dome shaped house in the palace, similar in shape to a tomb, and name it the 'Mourning Room'. I want to quietly observe filial piety alone inside
What are you going to do, "I said to her," just do it
She indeed built a dome shaped mourning room in the palace, with a tomb built inside, which looked like a mausoleum. Afterwards, she moved the black slave to the mourning room to recuperate. That black slave, although still alive, has actually become a useless cripple. Since he was injured in the sword that day, he has had to rely on soup to make a living. He is so weak that he cannot speak and is about to die. My wife watches over him from morning till night, crying and comforting him, delivering soup early and water late, and tirelessly serving him. I allowed my wife to live in this situation for a year because I was tolerant and did not hold her accountable.
One day, I went to the mourning room while she was not on guard. Seeing her crying and muttering, "My flower in my heart! Why did you leave me and refuse to meet me again? My soul! The person I know! Let me talk about your innermost thoughts
After she finished speaking, she continued to chant:
After you left,
I no longer exist in this world;
Because besides you,
My heart belongs to nothing.
You go to any region,
Please carry my soul, my bones.
Where should I stay,
Bury my bones beside you.
You stand at the grave and summon,
Listen to the echoes,
My bones retract and moan,
Echoing your voice
After she finished reciting and crying, I suddenly appeared and said, "Sister! You must be sad all day long, and that should be enough! If you continue to cry in sorrow, your tears will never run out. Crying in sorrow has no benefit
Don't obstruct me! "She said." If you insist on intervening, I'll have to commit suicide
After that, I remained silent, letting her wear mourning clothes and cry sadly.
By the third year, I had already felt immense resentment and couldn't bear the grinding incident before me. One day, I walked into her mourning room again, and my wife was sitting in front of the grave she had built inside. She let out a long sigh and said, "My master! I haven't heard your voice for a long time. Why haven't you answered me
After she finished speaking, she continued to chant:
The grave,
The grave,
Has his handsomeness passed away?
Still erased by the brilliant scenery?
The grave,
You are not heaven, not earth,
Why do the sun and moon converge inside
Her praise and condolences to the black slaves made me furious, and my resentment became even more intense. Therefore, I angrily asked, "Which day will you mourn and cry until?" I then recited
The grave,
The grave,
Did you eliminate his dark color?
Probably that dirty scene.
The grave,
You are not a pond or a pot,
Why gather charcoal ash and debris
After listening to my cursed poem, my wife stood up and said, "Damn it! It turned out that you did this good thing, cutting my lover, destroying his youth, and causing him to suffer in a situation of neither death nor life for three years
Not bad, it was indeed me who did it, "I said, pulling out my sword and holding it in my hand, leaving to prepare to kill him.
My wife listened to me and saw that I had decided to kill her, so she laughed and said:
Get lost! It won't be easy to repeat what happened in the past! I can't bring the dead back to life, but I can make you suffer, "she said softly after reciting some spells." With my spells, turn your lower body into stone
Since then, I couldn't stand up, couldn't sleep, my lower body was lifeless stones, and my upper body was a living person with freedom of movement. After my lower body turned into stone, the entire city, including the streets and gardens, was also controlled by her magic. There used to be believers of four religions living in the city: Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and Zoroastrianism. After they became obsessed, they all turned into fish. Muslims become white fish, Zoroastrians become red fish, Christians become blue fish, and Jews become yellow fish. After the original four islands became enchanted, they transformed into four mountains surrounding the lake. From then on, she abused me to her heart's content, hitting me a hundred times a day until my skin was torn and bleeding. Then she draped a towel over me and wore this gorgeous outfit outside.
The Destruction of Magic City
The bewitched youth talked about his experiences and hardships, couldn't help but cry sadly, and murmured:
Master,
Your verdict,
I am willing to endure it,
As long as it is your will.
They are cruel and evil,
They invade and plunder,
Be patient,
Perhaps we can get a corner of heaven.
All of these experiences,
Leaving me helpless,
It's difficult to move a step,
Praying only to Muhammad
After the young man finished reciting, the king looked up at him and said, "Young man, after knowing this secret, I have added another layer of sorrow. However, please inform me, where is your wife? Where is the grave where the injured black slave resides
The black slave slept in the grave in the mourning room, and as for my wife, she lived in the hall next door. She came here every day at sunrise, took off my clothes, beat me a hundred times, and made me cry and scream, unable to move. Then she went to the mourning room to serve the black slave, bringing him soup and water. As soon as dawn came, she came again
Swear to Allah, young man, I will do a good deed for me. I will save you
The king accompanied the young man to talk until late at night before going to bed.
Before dawn the next day, the king took off his clothes, went naked, picked up his sword, and walked into the mourning room, where lamps, candles, spices, and ointments were placed. He had already passed away and killed the black slave with one sword. He threw his body into a well in the palace, then returned to the house, wrapped himself in the black slave's clothes, held the sword in his hand, and fell asleep.
After about an hour, the witch indeed arrived. She first took off her husband's clothes and gave him a severe beating. Her husband begged desperately, saying, "Sister, please have mercy on me
Have you ever pitied me? Have you ever forgiven my lover for me? "She retorted, continuously beating her husband until his skin was torn and bleeding, and she was exhausted herself, before putting a towel on him and covering him with a brocade robe. Afterwards, she carried a glass of wine and a bowl of soup in her hand and went to the mourning room to serve the black slaves. In the mourning room, she walked up to the grave and cried, "Master! Answer me, if you have any concerns, tell me
She continued to chant:
I shed endless tears,
But when can we break through the blockage?
Does jealousy play a role in it?
Then he should feel at ease,
Are you procrastinating and not letting us gather
After reciting, she cried bitterly and said, "My master, speak up. If you have anything to say, just let me know
The king lowered his voice and imitated the tone of a black slave, saying, "Alas! Alas! There's nothing we can do but hope that the Almighty God Allah can save us." The witch heard the black slave speak and was overjoyed, shouting loudly. She woke up and said, "Master! Master
At this moment, the king said in a weaker voice, "You detested fellow! You have made me weak and difficult to control
How could this happen
You torture your husband every day, and his cries for help disturb me, making it difficult for me to sleep all night long. His prayers and curses make me uneasy and restless. If it weren't for your disturbance, I would have recovered long ago, which is why I have always ignored you
Since you allow it, I'll forgive him
Please spare him and let us be quiet
Xiaochang has cleared up
She stood up and immediately walked into the palace, took out a bowl, filled it with water, recited a spell, and the water in the bowl suddenly boiled. She sprinkled water on her husband's body and said, 'You have been transformed by my spell. With the power of my spell, restore your true form.' After she finished speaking, the young man suddenly regained his health and stood up, feeling immense joy in his heart.
Get out, "she cursed," you're not allowed to come here again in the future, otherwise I'll kill you. "After the young man left the palace, she calmly went to the mourning room and said to the black slave," Come out, my master, let me see you. I'll be happy for your health
What have you done? "The king lowered his voice and said," Healing me in this way is not the fundamental solution
My dear, what is the fundamental solution
You damn hateful guy! The people of the island country are still enduring disasters. Every night when the silence deepens, the fish in the lake will raise their heads, pray to Allah for help, and curse me. That's the real reason why I can't recover. Go ahead, you go rescue them immediately, and then rescue me. Now my health is gradually recovering
Swear in the name of Allah, master! With my head and eyes as a guarantee, I will go and rescue them
She thought it was a black slave talking to her beforehand, so she was so happy that she lost her head. She immediately set off and ran excitedly to the lake, reaching out to grab a handful of water and muttering a spell softly. Suddenly, the fish in the lake became active and transformed into various types of humans. The demon ban was lifted, and the people were rescued. The land and towns immediately returned to their old ways, with people buying and selling, agriculture, industry, commerce, and merchants thriving.
At this moment, the witch hurriedly returned to the mourning room and said to the fake black slave, "Stretch out your kind hands and let me lead you out
Get closer to me, "the king whispered, quickly drawing out his sword and piercing her chest with one strike. Then he slashed her waist, splitting her in two and taking her life.
The king walked out of the mourning room and went outside the palace to meet the young king, and the two of them were very happy. The king wished him well and the young king kissed his hand, expressing sincere gratitude. The king said to him:
Would you be willing to come with me to my country
Your Majesty, do you know the distance between our two countries
It's a two-and-a-half-day journey
Your Majesty, that was under the spell of magic, and now we have come to our senses. In fact, even a able-bodied person would need to walk a whole year from here to your country. You have only been here for two and a half days because our country is under the spell of magic. Your Majesty, I will never want to leave you again in the future
Praise the great Allah, who has rewarded you to me. From now on, you are my son, and I have never had a son in my life
So the two embraced, ecstatic. Then they went to the palace and ordered the courtiers to prepare their luggage.
After preparing everything necessary for the king's journey, the young king reluctantly set off with the old king. He selected fifty strong attendants and brought many precious items. They traveled day and night for a whole year, finally arriving safely in the kingdom of the old king and sending someone to report the news to the capital.
When the news of the king's safe return spread, the people were desperate because the king had been missing for over a year. Upon hearing the news, the people were overjoyed. The prime minister and the people all went out of the city, knelt before the king, and welcomed him back. The king, surrounded by the crowd, returned to the palace and regained his throne. He recounted his experiences during this trip to the prime minister, who listened and sympathized greatly with the young king, wishing him to break free from the demonic prohibition. Afterwards, the king held a grand banquet to entertain the young king and his attendants, rewarding the courtiers.
After the king returned to his country, he focused on managing national affairs and handling government affairs, and everything became orderly again. One day, he instructed the prime minister, "Where is the fisherman who has already offered us fish? Go and invite him to come see me
The prime minister obeyed the order and found the fisherman, bringing him into the palace. The king rewarded the fisherman generously and inquired about his family situation, asking if he had any children. The fisherman truthfully answered that he has a wife and one son and two daughters. The king was delighted and brought the entire family of the fisherman into the palace. He chose his eldest daughter as the queen, assigned his two daughters to the young king as his wife, and appointed the fisherman's son as his treasurer. The king also appointed the prime minister as the king of the Black Island Kingdom, instructing fifty accompanying attendants to escort him to take office, and asked him to bring many gifts to reward the officials of the Black Island Kingdom.
Since then, the fisherman has risen to become the country's ruler, his son has become the king's treasurer, and both daughters have become queens. The fisherman's family enjoys endless glory, wealth, and happiness in the palace.
