During the Western Jin Dynasty, there was a man named Zhou Chu, who had great strength, but his behavior was not correct and he acted recklessly, and his neighbors regarded him as a great disaster.

One day he woke up and vowed to change his past.He said to the elders in charge of the village: "The weather is good this year, why are you so sad and unhappy?" The old man sighed: "The three evils have not been eliminated, how can you be happy?" ?” The old man replied: “The white-fronted tiger in Nanshan, the giant python under the long bridge, and you are the three evils!”

So, Zhou Chu entered the deep mountain and old forest alone, and shot the white-fronted tiger to death; then, he came to the long bridge, and killed the murderous giant python.People rushed to tell each other and celebrated endlessly. When Zhou Chu returned to the village, he saw the people in the village congratulating each other, and finally realized that the villagers were celebrating that he and the giant python died together.Only then did Zhou Chu realize how disgusting he was before!
Zhou Chu felt very uneasy, so he went to visit the two brothers Lu Ji and Lu Yun.Lu Yun said to him: "The most valuable thing about people in ancient times was that they could do what they said. They learned some truths in the morning, and they were able to reform themselves in the evening. You are still young and have a bright future." Zhou Chu listened After Lu Yun's words, he was very encouraged.So he was diligent and studious, and became a very cultivated person, and his reputation was extolled by this article.
