Zhang Zhishu, a scholar from Longnan, was tired of politics and liked Taoism. After resigning his position, he started a hut in his hometown to practice. During this period, he would not be a guest, and he did not travel far. After practicing for more than ten years, he gradually realized something. Suddenly one night, Zhang Zhishu was sitting in the hall, and suddenly two Taoists, one black and one white, came in from outside, holding a book in their hands, and said they came to pay him a visit. The man in white had a kind and kind face, and the man in black had a vicious and fierce face. I don't know who he was. Zhang Zhishu asked, who had never known the two Taoist brothers, how dare he accept this etiquette! The man in white smiled and said, "Lord Zhang doesn't know that as soon as a person is born, two of my brothers will follow, one remembers good and the other remembers evil. My brother has been with you for decades.

Zhang Zhishu heard the words and said in shock, I read in the "Yin Law Collection" that there are two gods of good and evil, three feet above a person's head, to record the good and evil behavior of a person's life, but two gods? The man in white nodded and said yes. Zhang Zhishu sighed again, if I say this, is it that my time has come? The man in black replied, exactly so! Zhang Zhishu has been in Tao for a long time, and he is very indifferent to life and death, but there are still family members, and it is regrettable that he did not explain his funeral, so he prayed, can you give me some time? Si Shanshen said, the five days of yin difference are approaching, and the rest of the time should be enough! Zhang Zhishu heard the words, so it is!

When he said goodbye, he was very curious about the book in the hands of the two gods who recorded his past and asked for a look. With God's permission, he first showed her the record of doing good. The book is very thick, and it records his kindness and help others throughout his life, even small things like giving meals to beggars. There are records, and a detailed time is given. The evil book only records seven or eight pages, and the records are all past events that he does not want to mention. For example, at a certain time in a certain month of a certain year, he scolded his servant for no reason because of his bad mood. Great good, small good, big evil, and small evil. There is no omission, and I am shocked! The good God comforted him, more good deeds in public, less evil, and there is no need to worry about things after death. The shady priest rewards good and punishes evil is the most fair!

Zhang Zhizhuo only came back to his senses when he heard the words, thanked him and said goodbye. After the two gods left, Zhang Zhizhuo burned incense and bathed, changed his new clothes, first wrote about what happened behind him, and then sat in front of the hall and silently read the scriptures.
