有一天。
才入「三昧」中，見一暗影跪倒哭泣，「嗚……嗚……嗚……。」好淒慘，我嚇了一跳，怎來了這個枉死鬼。
我問：「何事？」
「伸冤！」
「有何冤屈？又如何找到我？」
枉死鬼說明：「平素敬奉土地公，單親而離婚，攜著兩個兒子同住，賣菜養家非常辛苦，那天清晨，出外做生意，過斑馬線，遭一輛闖紅燈的小客車輾過，我當場被撞死，小客車一看撞死人，沒有停，加速逃逸，我魂魄無依，只有暫棲土地公廟，承土地公告之，便來找你。」
我傻了：「要我如何幫？」
「我要抓住開車的兇手。」
「這個……。」我說：「我實在不會。」
枉死鬼說：
「我知道你不會，但那條馬路是有錄影的，是錄到那輛白色小客車撞死了我，然而錄影帶中的車牌號碼糢糊，因而警方也沒有辦法。」
「警方無法，我有何法？」我問。
「我是枉死的，我知車牌號碼，是××—××××，我來求你，是希望你在三昧中，拿筆在錄影帶中，把××—××××，車牌號碼描清楚些，讓警方一看車牌號碼，就可找到兇手了。」
「是這樣，我可一試！」
倏忽間，我拿筆，將車牌號碼，描得清清楚楚。
警方重看錄影帶，第一回，車牌號碼糢糊，第二回車牌號碼清晰。
哇！互相怪異驚歎，靈異事件，明明號碼糢糊的，這一下卻清楚明晰了！
我在此，奉勸世人，十次車禍九次快，人人要守交通規則，我相當憂愁交通事故，如果人人不守交通規則，車子闖紅燈，都市的人民不管開車或行走都惴惴不安了。
枉死城都快客滿了。
The Cry of the Ghost who was Unjustly Killed

One day, as I entered into samadhi, I saw a dark shadow kneeling before me, crying in great sorrow, “Whooooo…whoooooo…whooooo…” I was taken aback and wondered why there was a ghost who was unjustly killed.
I asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I’ve come to seek justice!”
“What grievance do you have? And why ask me?”
The ghost who was unjustly killed said, ”When I was alive I prayed to the earth god. I was a single parent after my divorce and lived with my two sons. I raised my family by selling vegetables, and it was a tough life. One morning, while leaving the house to conduct some business, I crossed the road using the crosswalk, yet I was hit by a car that ran the red light and was killed instantly. The driver, having realized he has killed a person, did not stop to take responsibility and instead sped off. My spirit was drifting around, and eventually I took shelter at an earth god temple, and was informed by the earth god to come look for you.”
I was stunned and asked, “How can I help?”
“I want to catch the driver who killed me.”
“But…” I replied, “I really don’t know how to do that.”
The ghost who was unjustly killed said, “I know you don’t know how to catch a killer, but the road where the accident occurred is equipped with surveillance cameras which had captured the moment where that small white car hit and killed me. However, the license plate of the car was blurry in the video footage, and the police cannot do anything about it.”
“If the police can’t do anything, what can I do?” I asked.
“I died an accidental death, and I know the number on the car’s license plate. It is XX-XXX. I plead to you to help me in your samadhi to write over the numbers in the video, so that the police can track the killer through the numbers.”
“So I see. I can give it a shot.”
In an instant, I took a pen and wrote over the numbers on the car’s license plate.
When the police first reviewed the video footage of the accident, the car’s license plate number was a blur. On the second review, the number was vivid and clear.
Wow! The police officers were amazed about the strange phenomenon, as the numbers were blurry earlier, but now they are clear.
I would like to caution everyone that nine out of ten car accidents occur due to speeding. All of us must abide by the traffic rules. I am very concerned about traffic accidents. If nobody abides by the traffic rules and cars run the traffic light, then people would be anxious and scared whether they drove or walked.
In hell, the City of Those who were Unjustly Killed is almost full.
