When he was still a scholar, he passed Mirror Lake one day and saw a fisherman killing a turtle on a small boat by the lake. When Yin Zhijie passed by, the turtle had already been killed, leaving only a small turtle. The fisherman killed him again. Once, he was swimming in the lake with a few friends, and when everyone was in high spirits, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, overturning the boat, and more than a dozen people in the boat fell into the lake. Yin Zhijie was not familiar with water, and only said that he could not escape bad luck. At the moment of life and death, a wooden board suddenly emerged from the water and pushed him out of the water. Yin Zhijie was startled, and when he looked again, no one else in the group was rescued. When he saw clearly under his feet, he saw a big turtle holding him up and swimming to the shore.
On the shore, Yin Zhijie knelt down and said, Thank you for the help of the immortals and saved me from suffering. The big turtle said, "Don't thank me, I am the little turtle you saved in Mirror Lake ten years ago. Today I am here to repay my kindness. Yin Zhijie said in shock, ten years can have such a cultivation base! The big turtle sighed, this is a long story, and the pain of the benefactor has not been completely lifted. Today, the people on the boat are all in the death book of the King of Hell, and the benefactor is no exception. After listening, Yin Zhijie was shocked and said, like this, what should be done! The big turtle said, "After the benefactor saved me that day, I came to this place. The lake god here is the master of my clan and one of the five lakes under his jurisdiction. Because he appreciated my ability to do things and was of the same kind, he accepted me as an adopted son. The father and the King of Yama had some friendship, so he went to ask him if there was a way to let the benefactor live for a few more years.
At that time, I saw that the lake water parted and changed all the way. Yin Zhijie and the big turtle walked to the bottom of the lake, and the water rejoined. Not far away, I saw a palace, which was quite large. A guard asked, "Where is the second prince?" The big turtle said, "Where is my father today?" The soldier said, and just went south to study. The second prince took the way again and went south to study with Yin Zhijie. When they arrived at the south study, they saw a stalwart, dressed in royal clothes. The second prince knelt down and told the previous situation, asking the king to try to save him! A few days ago, the Dragon King of the East China Sea sent me precious seafood, but I didn't enjoy it. Now, I'm going to the Netherworld to invite the King of Hell to a banquet, and I'll make plans during the banquet. Seeing that, Yin Zhijie did not stop kowtowing to thank him. The king ordered the second prince to send Yin Zhijie to the other courtyard to rest.
At night, the king summoned Yin Zhijie and the second prince to accompany him to the banquet. Seeing the King of Hell coming. Only the civil and military judges accompanied him, the lake god frequently toasted wine, and the king of hell thanked him, and he repeatedly accepted the lake master's kindness, which disturbed him a lot, but there was nothing rare and precious in my underworld to thank. I'm really ashamed! Lake Shinto, Hugh said this, today I just have fun. After that, I toasted three more glasses. After three rounds of wine, the guests and the host were all happy. The lake god pointed to Yin Zhijie and said to the king of hell, this person is the head of Tongjiang County, and he is very honest and diligent in government and loves the people. I just learned today that he is the benefactor of my adopted son. I dare not hide it, but I ask you to check the life of this person? Yama Dao, that is, the benefactor of the little master and the clean official of the young world, it's okay to investigate. Immediately ordered the judge to check the life and death book. Not long after, the judge reported that this son should have lived for thirty-eight years and died in the flood. When the lake master heard this, he only said that it was a pity. Yin Zhijie and the second prince worshiped and cried on the ground, and asked Grandpa Yama to be kind.
The King of Hell looked embarrassed, and the second prince worshiped again. I would like to reduce my life span by a hundred years and my benefactor, and I also hope that the grandfather of the King of Hell will fulfill it. The King of Hell said, you are a turtle and he is a human, how can you live an easy life? The lake god said with a smile, I also asked the King of Hell to look at my thin face, and I would subtract a hundred or two hundred years from my adopted son and that person, so that he could benefit the people more after returning to the sun, this is also a good thing! After hearing this, the King of Hell said in shock, One or two hundred years, there are people who can live for so long, forget it, today, for your sake, take sixty years from the little master and this person, what do you think? The lake god said with a smile, so good. Yin Zhijie quickly kowtowed and thanked him, and everyone just drank heartily! After the banquet, the second prince sent Yin Zhijie out of the lake and said, "If the benefactor is in trouble, he can go to the lake to meet him. Then he was reluctant to leave. Yin Zhijie remembered his kindness and was an honest official. He lived until he was ninety-eight years old before he died.
