Folk Tale When a woman enters the door, the whole family is unlucky, and the Taoist chief looks at her in a mirror and finds it weird
In the Song Dynasty, there was a young man named Zhang Dashan outside the city of Bianliang. Although he has reached the marriageable age, Zhang Dashan is still alone, which makes his parents worried.
Zhang Dashan is known for his laziness and obsession with gambling, and the women in the neighborhood all respect him. His personality made the people around him reluctant to marry their daughter to him. Despite the painstaking persuasion of his parents, they hoped that he could reform his life in order to marry his daughter-in-law smoothly in the future.
However, as the saying goes, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change." ”
Zhang Dashan got used to a leisurely life and gave up after trying to work in the fields for a few days. He felt that he couldn't see an immediate return on his money by working hard every day, so he preferred to try his luck in the casino. Often he was able to make a profit overnight, which made him tired of labor.
The bitter persuasion of his parents seemed to be like water dripping on a stone, and it was difficult to reverse his decadent lifestyle. Zhang Dashan continues to fall into the whirlpool of gambling, and his future marriage prospects are clouded by it.
As his son grows up, his parents will inevitably restrain him, and they can only hope that he will not cause trouble to the family. But it is often said that the more you are afraid of something, the more it will happen.
Soon after, Zhang Dashan really brought a problem to the family, and the origin of it all was related to a woman he brought home.
The casino handed over a new daughter-in-law, but it led to the mysterious death of poultry one after another One day, Zhang Dashan walked into the casino in the town, and his luck was very good, winning two taels of silver in a row, which made him happy.
Wang Wu, who lost to him, was a famous gambler who had lost his family property in gambling. In order to participate in the gambling game again, he had to sell the last piece of land in his family in exchange for the only remaining silver tael. If he fails again, he will not be able to make ends meet.
Faced with Wang Wu's distress of asking for forgiveness, Zhang Dashan knew Wang Wu's personality very well, but he was penniless and could not help him. Wang Wu realized that the matter was irreparable, so he simply said: "That's it, I am willing to admit defeat." But I don't want to give it to you again. ”
Zhang Dashan was furious when he heard this, and was about to step forward and beat Wang Wu. However, Wang Wu's next words made him ecstatic.
I know you haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. The other day I picked up a girl on the road, who was beautiful but not good at words. I named her Wang Yueru and regarded her as my sister-in-law. ”
In the future, when she gets married, I will also get some dowry. In this way, she has something to rely on and I can profit from it. Today I will give this girl to you as payment for my gambling debts. What do you think?”
Zhang Dashan thought in his heart and decided to look at the girl's family background before deciding whether to agree or not. After all, if you find him a crooked melon and cracked date, it will be a big loss. So, he asked Wang Wu to take him to his home to have a look.
Seeing Wang Yueru for the first time, Zhang Dashan was overjoyed. She has a pretty face, a rosy face, and looks healthy and energetic. Zhang Dashan felt that although it was a little difficult to not speak, he would not nag after all, and he might be able to calm down in the future. Considering that if he didn't act again, he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law, so he agreed to Wang Wu's proposal without hesitation.
Wang Wu's response was beyond Zhang Dashan's expectations: "This girl can't speak, isn't it boring after a long time." I don't want to marry her, people laugh at us. ”
Zhang Dashan secretly wondered, did Wang Wu have other plans in his heart?But Wang Wu pretended to be embarrassed, in fact, the reason why he was reluctant to marry Wang Yueru was because after she entered his house, the five chickens in the family died one after another, and the blood was sucked dry.
Although he knew in his heart that it was the bad luck brought by Wang Yueru, he did not tell Zhang Dashan, but gloated a little. For Wang Wu, who won away his money, this can be regarded as a kind of retribution.
However, Wang Yueru didn't seem to care about all this, and actually followed Zhang Dashan home with a smile.
Zhang Dashan brought back Wang Yueru, and his parents were very happy. They have a heart-to-heart with their son, and think that it doesn't matter if the girl can't speak, but the most important thing is that the son has a partner. On the same day, they slaughtered chickens and ducks, and warmly entertained Wang Yueru, who was about to become a daughter-in-law.
However, after the wedding, a series of strange things happened that made the marriage confusing. Originally, there were more than a dozen chickens at home, but since Wang Yueru came, the chickens in the family have died mysteriously one after another. The dead chickens had no wounds, but the meat seemed to have gone through a drought, and there was no moisture at all, and the blood and qi in their bodies seemed to have been sucked dry by something.
Seeing the strange chicken, Zhang Laohan, the parent of the family, said worriedly
We have been raising chickens for so many years, and we have never encountered such a strange thing. Even those thieves and chickens, that is, they eat half of them, and they have never seen a thief dare to suck the chicken blood clean. What kind of monster is this?I'm afraid the chicken is also poisonous, so let's bury this chicken for safety. ”
The whole family decided it was a wise decision and buried the chicken deep under a tree.
They thought the chicken's death was an exception, but from that day on, a single bird died every night, all of them drained of blood.
Watching the poultry cages become empty was a big loss for the farmer.
Zhang Laohan said angrily
We still have a few ducks at home, and from tonight onwards I will be staying by the duck house to see what it is, specifically to plague our poultry. ”
For the next few nights, Zhang Laohan's vigil passed peacefully, and no strange animals appeared. The farmer still has to work during the day, and he can't stay up all night because of a few ducks.
After a few nights of vigil, Zhang Laohan resumed his normal routine. However, one morning when he let his guard down, he woke up to see that one of the ducks in the duck house was dead.
The death was exactly the same as the previous poultry, and the mysterious creature seemed to know the Zhang family's plan, so it came to the door to cause harm when no one was keeping vigil.
In the days that followed, the ducks in the family also died. Although the Zhang family's parents felt heartache, they were helpless.
However, Li Lanhua, the sister-in-law at home, is full of dissatisfaction with Zhang Dashan, why is she like this?
This series of strange things has only happened since Wang Yueru came to the house. Therefore, sister-in-law Li Lanhua thinks that Wang Yueru is simply an ominous star and brings bad luck to their Zhang family.
At the beginning, Li Lanhua was able to restrain her emotions when the chickens and ducks died. However, after the only big fat pig in the house suddenly miraculously lost weight, and turned into jerky five days later, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
She carefully fed this big fat pig day and night, and planned to sell it with the money for her son to go to a private school, hoping that he would have a better future.
This big fat pig died inexplicably, and he didn't even have the courage to sell meat, for fear of hurting others and causing a lawsuit.
Mother's love is like a spring, and the deep affection in Sister-in-law Zhang's heart for her child makes her unable to suppress her anger.
Since the second brother brought Miss Wang home, our Zhang family has been unlucky. I think this girl Wang may have bad luck on her, otherwise why did so many strange things happen to our family as soon as she came?”
If the second brother insists on marrying her, let's move out. I'm afraid that the blood-sucking weirdness will be transferred to people, and it's too late to regret it. Not only for our own sake, but also for our children's sake. ”
2 The poultry were all sucked to death, and the eldest brother of the Zhang family, who proposed to split the family, heard his wife's words and wanted to say that his parents were not separated together. But as soon as he saw his son's innocent and cute little face, his words choked in his throat. For this son, he loved him so much that he could even endure his wife's reproach for him.
Although he is not an unfilial son, and he is willing to take his parents over to live with him, all kinds of strange things that happened at home made him feel uneasy in his heart.
So, he chose to remain silent and let his wife decide.
The parents of the Zhang family saw the expression of their eldest son and knew that he also agreed. In that case, let them live separately, so as not to hurt the feelings between the brothers.
However, the younger son is not yet married, and they still have to live with him and share the household chores.
After Wang Yueru heard this, she silently shed tears, and she gestured again and again to show that she was willing to leave and didn't want to cause trouble to the family.
Wang Yueru's reasonableness made Zhang Dashan pity her even more.
Since the eldest brother and sister-in-law are worried that we will bring you bad luck, then let's split up. I don't want to touch your light, brother, and if my parents are willing to live with me, of course I welcome it. As for this Wang girl, I did decide to marry her. ”
The Zhang family also has a dilapidated old house at the head of the village. The eldest brother's family couldn't wait to move over that day.
Zhang Dashan was moved when he saw his parents living with him and supporting him to marry Wang Yueru. These days, he no longer gambles, the family is engaged in farm work together, and the atmosphere at home has become harmonious and warm.
It's a pity that as time passed, Zhang Dashan gradually felt exhausted, and his face became extremely pale.
Zhang's parents also had similar symptoms, feeling flustered and dreamy, and their bodies became weak and weak.
Wang Yueru was very worried when she saw this, and quickly invited the local Lang Zhong as the father and son. Her concern made her parents have an excellent impression of their future daughter-in-law.
Little did they know, however, that the cause of all this was the work of this seemingly amiable girl.
Lang Zhong quickly found out their **, calling it a deficiency of qi and blood, and they need to recuperate well and not be overworked.
Hearing the diagnosis, Zhang Dashan was dissatisfied: "Doctor, you have to see clearly, my father and I are both men, and we haven't suffered any injuries, where do we get our qi and blood deficiency?"Could it be that you deliberately made up such a statement to deceive us in order to sell those blood-replenishing herbs?”
Lang Zhong was furious when he heard this, and replied unceremoniously: "You kid gambles all day long, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay for the medicine." What's more, how can I sell you valuable medicinal herbs?If you think I'm not good at medicine, you can find a better doctor. ”
After that, Lang Zhong left with the medicine box on his back, showing no mercy to the Zhang family's business.
Seeing this, Zhang Dashan's parents hurriedly went out to apologize, but the doctor was in a slightly relaxed mood, and finally left some medicine to replenish qi and blood.
Zhang Dashan and his parents took the medicine for a few days, and felt that the effect was obvious, and their physical strength recovered a lot. He wondered if he had been sucked by something
When something like this happened to the parents at home, Brother Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang naturally came to visit.
After returning home, Sister-in-law Zhang said to her husband worriedly: "Xianggong, I always feel uneasy, first the chickens and ducks were sucked blood and died, and now it has spread to people. Although we moved out, who knows if bad luck will come to our door?”
Xiaobao is only 5 years old and can't withstand such a toss. Tomorrow, I'll go to the Taoist chief and ask him to help me think of a solution. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang is a smart woman who knows that her husband cares most about her children. When it comes to his son, he always gives in.
In addition, the bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. Zhang Dashan wanted to marry his daughter-in-law, and the Zhang family's parents looked forward to their son's marriage, but they ignored the weirdness of Wang Yueru.
She, an outsider, can see clearly that there are so many coincidences in the world that are concentrated in one family.
Wang Yueru got up frequently in the middle of the night and had touched Zhang Dashan many times. She didn't care about it in the past, but now she looks extremely suspicious.
After dawn, Zhang's sister-in-law hurried to a Taoist temple ten miles away.
After hearing what was going on, Daoist Qingyun took out the dust and swept it at Sister-in-law Zhang a few times.
Sister-in-law Zhang was stunned when she saw Qingyun Daochang's actions, could it be that she was stained with something unclean?
Qingyun Dao Chief's words made her even more shocked.
You are contaminated with demonic energy, and listening to what you say, there must be something strange about Wang Yueru. Either possessed by evil spirits, or deceiving people by mountain goblins, she should live by sucking blood. ”
This goblin is also shrewd, and knows how to disguise himself as a good man to deceive the people. That's why your parents and brother failed to doubt her true identity. As cultivators, it is our duty to subdue demons and eliminate demons, so I will disguise my identity and go to find out the true face of that woman. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Sister-in-law Zhang brought an old man home. She claimed that it was a distant relative, and that she had met him in the town by chance and invited him back to her home.
Subsequently, the Zhang family wafted the aroma, and the wine and food prepared to welcome relatives filled the table. Sister-in-law Zhang invited her family to enjoy it.
When Wang Yueru entered the door, Sister-in-law Zhang quietly took out a strange bronze mirror and took a photo of her back. When she saw the image reflected in the mirror, she almost screamed in fright.
Thinking of the task assigned by Daoist Qingyun, she forcibly suppressed all her fears, and quickly took out a piece of talisman paper, ready to paste it on Wang Yueru's back.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yueru was very vigilant, as if she sensed danger. She quickly dodged Sister-in-law Zhang's movements.
After seeing the rune paper, Wang Yueru's eyes flashed with fierce light, and then her eyes were full of tears, turning into a weak woman, pointing to the rune paper in Zhang's sister-in-law's hand and crying bitterly.
This change made the Zhang family's parents and Zhang Dashan feel very uneasy, and they immediately stood up and wanted to leave with Wang Yueru.
At this moment, Qingyun Daoist said with a smile on his face:
This goblin has some means, but unfortunately it is nothing in front of me. Sister-in-law Zhang, take out that mirror and let your father and brother also see it, lest they wronged the good people. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang took out the strange bronze mirror again and irradiated it at Wang Yueru. Wang Yueru was shocked when she saw it, and hurriedly fled outside the house.
However, she soon discovers that she can't escape the house. It turned out that the doors and windows of this room were plastered with rune paper.
In the space invisible to mortals, an invisible barrier has enveloped the entire Zhang family.
Qingyun Dao Chang then threw out three pieces of rune paper, which flew in the air and quickly stuck to the three places on Wang Yueru's body, making her unable to move.
Her figure was clearly visible in a bronze mirror.
The strange scene reflected in the bronze mirror made everyone exclaim, only to see a strange creature the size of a basin with long limbs revealed in the mirror. The Zhang family felt that this creature was somewhat familiar, but they couldn't recall it for a while.
Daoist Qingyun reminded: "This guy often lives on poultry. Guess what?”
Before anyone else could answer, a child's voice rang out: "Grandpa, I know, it's a flea." But how did this flea get so big?”
After hearing this, Daoist Qingyun smiled and said, "You are really smart." Because this flea has become sperm, it is completely different from ordinary fleas. ”
Sister-in-law Zhang was very happy when she heard her son being praised, and turned to her in-laws and brother-in-law and said, "This is Qingyun Dao Chief, and the bronze mirror in his hand is his demon mirror." My father and my brother lost blood for unknown reasons a few days ago, and I thought it was very strange, so I went to the Taoist chief for advice. The Taoist found out that I had a demonic aura on my body, and in order not to alarm the monster, he disguised himself as a relative and came to ** it. ”
As I expected, the woman turned out to be a flea. Now the strange things in the family have also been explained. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Dashan was so frightened that he hid behind Qingyun Dao Chief.
In the face of the facts, he had to believe. However, he suddenly thought of Wang Wu, so he asked Qingyun Daoist suspiciously, why didn't the flea spirit suck his blood?
Poor Dao is also very curious, in that case, let's let the flea spirit talk about it himself. Then, Daoist Qingyun took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it on the neck of the flea spirit.
As soon as the talisman paper was pasted, the flea spirit exclaimed in surprise, "I can actually speak." ”
It turns out that in order for the flea spirit to speak, it must complete the refining of the horizontal bone in the throat. Qingyun Dao Chief's rune paper was able to temporarily eliminate her crossbone problem, and she was finally able to speak.
With the flea spirit telling, everyone present finally understood the cause and effect of the incident.
Why does a little flea cultivate to refinement?
It turned out that there was once a Jiaodu in the deep mountains that turned into a dragon. Under the threat of thunder, Jiaolong was seriously injured, and a drop of essence blood fell to the ground.
The flea coincidentally encountered this drop of essence blood, and after swallowing it, it gained spiritual wisdom, and finally became a human form after hundreds of years of penance, but it has been troubled by the inability to refine the horizontal bones of the throat.
She often sucks the blood of youkai in the mountains, which is her racial talent, and with years of cultivation, those youkai are helpless.
When she couldn't take precautions, the demons told her:
If you want to refine the bones of your throat, you need to suck human blood, because you can only speak if you suck human blood. ”
The flea spirits were not passed on, and they were mistakenly thought that these monsters were kind enough to share the secrets of their practice. She turned into a woman in a hurry and went down the mountain, just when Wang Wu took her home.
As for why she didn't suck Wang Wu's blood?
It turned out that Wang Wu lived quite sloppily alone, and sometimes only took a bath once a month. The flea spirit hated him for being dirty, so he refused to suck his blood.
The Zhang family loves cleanliness very much, and it has no trouble sucking blood. Zhang Dashan wanted to cry without tears after hearing this, and love clean can actually cause trouble?
Daoist Qingyun asked her why she only sucked some people's blood at a time, instead of sucking all their blood like chickens and ducks.
A saturated meal can still be divided between the little demons, and this also prevents people from discovering their whereabouts. So he helped them to make up for them when they were weak. When you have sucked enough blood and can refine the horizontal bones, you will leave. ”
These words made everyone in the Zhang family creepy, thanks to the eldest daughter-in-law, otherwise they wouldn't be like those captive pigs, being eaten by fleas at will.
Zhang Dashan hurriedly asked Qingyun Dao Chang to help them collect the demons, so as not to harm the world again in the future.
After hearing this, the flea spirit hurriedly begged for mercy:
Please also ask the Taoist to be merciful and spare my life, although I have sucked some people's blood, I have never thought of harming their lives, I am willing to leave some money to compensate for the loss of the Zhang family. ”
The little demon was born as a flea, and it is much more difficult to cultivate than other races, because there is no inheritance to be fooled by other monsters, otherwise I am dedicated to cultivating in the mountains, so why bother to provoke such a killing disaster. ”
After saying that, she couldn't help but cry.
The Zhang family was originally a good family, and I felt a little unbearable to hear her say this.
Qingyun Dao Chang pondered for a moment and said
In that case, I will spare your life, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living sin cannot be escaped. You go back to the Taoist temple with me and help me guard the mountain gate. I often practice medicine to save people, and you walk around with me to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, so as to offset the sins you have committed, I don't know what you think. ”
The flea spirit was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately kowtowed to thank him. From then on, she followed Qingyun Dao Chief, listened to his arrangement, and finally realized her wish to speak ten years later.
The Zhang family found some precious medicinal materials under her guidance, and sold them for fifty taels of silver.
Zhang Dashan finally married his daughter-in-law with these wealth, and his nephew Zhang Bao was also able to enter the school. Since then, the family has returned to its previous happy scene.
After experiencing this twist and turn, Zhang Dashan has become more sensible. He decided to quit gambling once and for all, and understood the misfortune that gambling brought to his family. For their own safety, his parents asked the Taoist chief to solve the problem, and although his brother and sister-in-law were a little dissatisfied with him, they finally worked together to solve the problem.
This predicament made him deeply realize the value of family affection. In this world, only those who truly care about you will not hesitate to stand on your side, think about you, and look forward to your growth and change.
