阎王的由来

在东方有一块土地，人们勤劳、善良，生活非常美好，但好日子没有过多久，灾难突然降到他们头上。
一天晚土，天崩地裂，河水暴涨。
大水吞没了一个个村庄。
幸存的人不仅发现亲人的死尸，而且还发现土地不能耕种。

有一个叫阎罗的小伙子，决定去南方寻找解救的办法。
路上，遇到一只老虎，阎罗吓得钻到山洞里，昏了过去。
醒来后，沿着山峰爬了出去，遇见一位天神。
在天神的指引下，他杀死了小青蛇，划开蛇皮，接满了一碗蛇血就往回走。

半路上，一位老大婆拦着阎罗说：“这蛇血，本是天上地上难找的灵物，你要是喝下去，就会成仙，就不会在人间受罪。
”阎罗并不为之所动，回到了故乡。

原先那个天神得知此事，腾空而起，把种子撒向大地的各个角落，又降了一场甘露。
从此天下有了生气，人们又有了活路。

天帝知道此事，就超度阎罗成仙，专管人间的生死。
后来阎罗高傲起来，胡作非为。
天帝将他降为鬼。
阎罗虽然降了一级，还是干的本行，只是不敢再胡作非为了。

从此以后，人们死后都要到他那里报到，人们叫他“阎王爷”。
