Meng Yan's Transformation

King Yama flicked his sleeves and said, "Old hen, please leave for now." Then King Yama pulled out a command arrow from the dragon desk, threw it down and said, "Where are the two devils?" The two devils flashed out and said, "What do you want, my king?"

King Yama said, "I order you two ghosts to go to Zhaojiazhuang quickly and capture the monkey."

The two ghosts, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, shouted "Understood, sir" and drove on a dark cloud towards Zhaojiazhuang.

The monkey was praised by his master and was rewarded by his master in the past few days. He had enough to eat every day and lived a life of luxury. He had nothing to do and was now leisurely taking a nap in the sun.

Suddenly, he saw two demons, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, approaching him, and they put an iron chain around his neck and left. The monkey was shocked and asked hurriedly, "Two officers, what crime have I committed? What is the crime? Are you going to lock me up?"

"A chicken in the underworld has accused you, and King Yama has ordered us to bring you there for confrontation. Stop talking nonsense and just follow us." said the two ghosts, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced.

The cunning monkey knew that his crime had been exposed, so he hurriedly took out a stack of paper money from his pocket and handed it to the two ghosts, saying, "Please accept it. I hope you will say good things about it to King Yama."

The two devils looked at the money in their hands, smiled at each other and said, "Okay, okay, we will speak for you."

The monkey followed the two ghosts, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, to King Yama.

King Yama shouted loudly: "Monkey, do you know that you have committed the sin of killing?"

The monkey hurriedly defended himself, "King Yama, I have always been law-abiding, I don't steal or rob, I help those who are injustice, I uphold justice, I fight violence and protect the good, I uphold justice, I often do good deeds and get rid of harm for the people, what crime have I committed?"

King Yama's expression changed and he said, "You bold monkey, didn't you kill the old hen and her family of three with your own hands? The witness is here, do you still dare to deny it?"

The monkey pretended to be calm, and he already understood about 70% of it. He sneered and said, "It is true."

Upon hearing this, King Yama flew into a rage and said, "Du, you are such a cunning monkey! Do you know that killing someone is a crime punishable by death?"

At this time, the monkey saw the two ghosts, the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, approaching King Yama and whispering something into his ear. After that, they winked at the monkey.

The monkey argued more confidently, "Lord Yama, please calm down. Since the old hen and her family came to Zhaojiazhuang, they have been stealing grain, destroying things, spreading plague, and harming poultry. They have done all kinds of evil and bad things. The bird flu and swine flu in the past few years were spread by the old hen family. The poultry and livestock hate the old hen family. Monkey, I am entrusted by the poultry and livestock to eliminate this scourge and bring peace to the poultry and livestock. I didn't expect that the old hen would come and file a complaint first, talking nonsense, confusing the truth with the false, and confusing the facts. I hope that the Lord Yama can distinguish the true from the false, distinguish right from wrong, listen to the truth, and be fair in this case and make it clear."

"Hearing what you said, you were right to kill them?" King Yama pondered for a while and said, "Monkey, you said that the old hen family was not doing their job properly and was harming poultry and livestock. Do you have any evidence?"

"Lord of Hell, every word I said is true, and the neighbors can testify to that. If I lied, I am willing to die!"

King Yama listened to the monkey's eloquent speech, which made a lot of sense. King Yama pondered for a while and said, "Call the duck, goose, pig, dog, and rabbit to the hall." So the duck, goose, pig, dog, and rabbit came to the hall. Because the duck, goose, pig, dog, and rabbit were bribed by the monkey. They got a lot of benefits. The monkey was eloquent and eloquent. He spread rumors that the bird flu and the swine flu were caused by the old hen family. They believed the monkey's slander and believed it to be true, but they still felt that the monkey was wrong, but no one dared to say it out loud, so they had to follow the monkey's meaning. At this time, King Yama pointed to the old hen and said, "All the livestock and poultry are here to testify, what else do you have to say?"

The old hen cried and said, "Some of them were bribed by the monkeys and colluded with them to frame me. Some of them were deceived by the monkeys and did not understand the truth. I am innocent!" King Yama said, "What are you accusing? What crime should you be punished for framing the monkeys?" The old hen was so angry that she trembled and could not speak. Finally, she said, "You are in cahoots with each other. You are really corrupt officials."

Upon hearing this, King Yama became furious and said, "Kick this crazy chicken out with a stick."

King Yama walked down the hall, holding the monkey's hand and said, "Monkey, I almost killed a good monkey by mistake. You are a good monkey for getting rid of harm for all living beings and doing what is right. From now on, I allow you to kill the chicken without reporting it."

The owner originally meant to "kill a chicken to scare the monkey" by killing a chicken in front of the monkey, which would serve as a warning to the rest. However, the actual result was not so. Killing a chicken in front of the monkey often taught the monkey to kill chickens. In this way, the monkey not only gained a reputation of "impartial law enforcement" and "honest official", but also played the role of "killing a chicken to protect the monkey". Therefore, the monkey became more and more courageous and did whatever he wanted.

Although the old hen failed to bring the monkey down in front of the King of Hell, she was unwilling to give up. Was there no place for reasoning in the Three Realms? Was there no upright official who could uphold justice? So the old hen went to the Heavenly Palace to appeal for justice. The Jade Emperor asked the old hen, "Your master cannot distinguish between good and evil, because he is a mortal. Could it be that the King of Hell also cannot distinguish between right and wrong?" The old hen said, "The King of Hell is not observant, confused, and only listens to one side. He does not distinguish right from wrong and allows monkeys to kill innocent chickens. I really have nowhere to turn to, so I have to go to the Heavenly Palace for help from the Jade Emperor." After listening to the old hen's appeal, the Jade Emperor said, "You go back first. I will definitely get to the bottom of the truth."

The next day, the Jade Emperor disguised himself as a chicken and went to Zhaojiazhuang for a private visit. He found out all the evil deeds of the monkey and sentenced him to death. The King of Hell was also punished for his ignorance and unfair judgment. In the end, the unjustly killed chicken was vindicated.

"That's great, the hateful monkey finally got punished!" Zhan Yingying said after listening to Yunqing's story.

"Mom, as a human being, we should be like the old hen. When we encounter unfair treatment, we should have the courage to not give up and fight for our own fairness," said Zhan Mengyan.

Yunqing smiled and said, "You are all still young, and you still have a long way to go in life. You will encounter a lot of injustices and difficulties. No matter what, don't lose your original intention, and don't give up on yourself. Mengyan, the caterpillar in your pencil case must have scared you and disgusted you when you saw it. But you know, no matter how much people hate it, the caterpillar will not forget its original intention, and will not give up its goal no matter what difficulties it encounters. Finally, one day, it will use its accumulated energy to spit out silk to make a cocoon, and finally break out of the cocoon and transform into a beautiful butterfly that everyone likes."

"Yes, Sister Mengyan, don't be afraid. Just go to school and resume your classes tomorrow. Do you still remember how happy you were when you first went to school? That was your original intention. You can't forget your original intention just because of the misunderstanding of your teacher." Zhan Yingying said encouragingly.

Yunqing looked at Mengyan who was still in deep thought and said, "Mengyan, if you have any worries, please speak up and don't keep it in your heart. You haven't spoken for the past few days, and I know you are feeling wronged. I promise you that your head teacher will give you an explanation after understanding the situation, but you have to give the teacher time. You have to learn to untie your knot and adjust your mood. I hope you will go to class tomorrow in a good mood and be happy every day."

"Okay, Mom, I will go back to school tomorrow." Zhan Mengyan said with a long sigh of relief.
