During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a general soldier Liu in Hebei who married Mrs. Feng, the daughter of a relative of the emperor, and gave birth to a son, named Wenting.
The general soldier invited a teacher for his son, surnamed Wang, named Mu Chun, who was very knowledgeable, and the general soldier respected him very much.
This Mr. Wang Muchun has taught Liu Wenting for many years, and his family gradually discovered that he has strange skills, and sometimes he will show his hand when he drinks too much.
One night, Wang Muchun was drinking with the housekeepers, servants, and scholars, and one servant got drunk and said, "Now if only I could have a bowl of fresh fish soup to drink." ”
Wang Muchun was drunk, and then said: "It's not easy, I'll catch a fish for you right away." ”
He found a basket, asked the scholar to carry it, closed his eyes and circled the room.
The scholar did as he said, just walked two laps, only to hear Wang Muchun say something in his mouth, and the scholar stretched out his hand to touch it in the air as he walked, as if he was touching a fish.
The scholar turned around more than ten times, and Wang Muchun suddenly shouted: "Stop, I got it." ”
When the scholar was shouted by him, he immediately opened his eyes, looked down, shouted oops, and then was stunned on the spot.
When everyone stepped forward to see it, there was a fish more than a foot long in the basket, jumping around, as if it had just been caught.
Everyone looked at Wang Muchun in surprise, but he stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Take this fish to the kitchen and make it." ”
After the fish was cooked, it was served and everyone immediately started to eat it, and the taste was extremely delicious.
Everyone asked him if the fish was **, but he said: "Didn't you see it just now, it was the scholar who touched it in the water." ”
Another time, Wang Muchun wanted to open the meat, but he was too lazy to go to the market to buy it, so he took out a penny of silver and put it in the basket, let the scholar carry it, close his eyes and circle around the yard.
After turning twelve times, four plates of wine and a pot of wine suddenly appeared in the basket, and the wine and food were still steaming, as if they had just come out of the pot.
This kind of miraculous thing happened many times, and when everyone asked him if he was a god, he laughed and said that he was a god, but he could just change a few tricks.
In the summer of this year, Liu Wenting suddenly fell ill without warning, and found dozens of famous doctors to diagnose and treat him, but all of them were helpless.
Relatives and friends came to visit, comforted him in front of him, and came out to discuss, saying that he was terminally ill and would definitely not survive.
Mrs. Feng only has one son, who takes care of her at the bedside every day, and she doesn't know how many tears she shed for her son's illness.
Seeing that it could not be cured, the housekeeper said to his wife: "Young master, this disease is strange, I'm afraid it can't be cured by ordinary langzhong, I heard that Mr. Wang, who is teaching, is proficient in foreign arts, why don't you ask him to come and see?"”
Mrs. cried and said: "I can't cure it after inviting so many famous doctors, Mr. Wang is just a teaching gentleman, but he can just do a few tricks, ** can cure diseases?."”
The steward said, "What if he can cure it?"”
The lady felt justified, and asked the housekeeper to invite Wang Muchun over, crying and begging him to save his son.
Wang Muchun looked at Liu Wenting's symptoms and shook his head.
Seeing this, the lady knelt down and said with tears in her eyes: "I am just his son, I heard that Mr. has a strange skill, for the sake of him calling you a teacher for so many years, I want to save him!!"”
Wang Muchun hurriedly helped his wife up, lowered his head and didn't speak.
Madame knelt down again, and after a long time, Wang Muchun nodded and said, "Let me go back and think about it, and give Madame an answer tomorrow, but I don't dare to guarantee that there will be a way to save my son." ”
Madame seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and said: "Sir, if you have any recipe, if you can't save it, it is his life, and I have no complaints." ”
Wang Muchun returned to the library and said to the scholar: "I want to think of a way for my son in the room, you are guarding outside, and no one is allowed to come in and disturb me." ”
The scholar stood guard outside the door, Wang Muchun plugged the door of the room, then lay down with his clothes, and soon fell asleep.
There is a mountain in Liu Zongbing's house, and the ancestral tomb is on this mountain, and three mausoleum guards are arranged to guard it.
On the second watch of the same night, the mausoleum keeper woke up in the middle of the night, and suddenly saw a person appear in front of the mausoleum.
The mausoleum keeper was very surprised, thinking to himself that Mr. Wang was in the city, how could he appear here in the middle of the night
Without waiting for the mausoleum keeper to think more, Wang Muchun came to the mausoleum, waved his hand lightly, and a palace appeared next to the tomb, which was magnificent and brilliant.
After a while, a person who looked like a judge came out of the palace and invited Wang Muchun in. The two saluted, the judge sat on the main seat, and then invited Wang Muchun to sit down.
Wang Muchun did not sit, but stood next to him and talked to the judge, looking like he was pleading for something, because it was too far away for the mausoleum keeper to hear what he was saying, so he had to hold his breath and peep in front of the door.
Not long after, a shout was suddenly heard, and a group of guards with crotch knives and spears walked in, escorting a man wearing a python robe.
When Wang Muchun and the judge saw this prince, they hurriedly ran over to pay respects, and then walked into the main hall together. Wang Ye sat down in the center, Wang Muchun stood on the left, and the judge stood on the right.
Wang Muchun seemed to have been pleading with the prince, but the prince didn't say a word.
After a while, a wail was heard, and a man in coarse cloth clothes dragged another person's hair to the prince, and beat him as he went, and the beaten man kept wailing and begging for mercy.
The two of them came together to the steps in front of the prince, and the man in coarse cloth fell down and cried, still clutching the man's hair in his hands, and the man who was beaten also knelt down and begged bitterly.
The mausoleum keeper took a closer look, and the person who was beaten turned out to be Gongzi Liu Wenting.
The judge walked up to the man in coarse cloth clothes and seemed to beg him to let Liu Wenting go, but he just didn't listen. Wang Muchun also walked up to the man and talked a lot to him, but he still refused to listen.
Wang Muchun saw that the man did not agree, and walked away with a gloomy expression, and the prince in the palace walked down and continued to talk to the man.
After a long time, the man reluctantly let go of Liu Wenting, and ran away crying, crying heartbreakingly.
Wang Muchun thanked the prince repeatedly, and the prince left immediately, and then Wang Muchun thanked the judge again and again and left, and the judge sent him out of the door, and after the door was closed, the palace disappeared.
Early the next morning, the mausoleum keeper came to Mr. Liu's house and told him in detail what he had seen last night.
The lady didn't understand what was going on, and the mausoleum keeper didn't understand what was going on.
Wang Muchun didn't wake up until noon, and immediately found his wife after waking up, and said: "I went to the underworld to see the judge, and the reason why Gongzi got sick was because when Liu Zongbing's father was alive, he had wronged a fisherman, and the fisherman died unjustly in prison.
After the fisherman died, he was angry and sued Liu's father to the Hades, and the king of Hades sentenced the Liu family to be the heir, and the son's illness was because of this.
I tried my best to persuade the fishermen, and he agreed to let Gongzi go for the time being, but the resentment in his heart was always difficult to dispel, and Madame had to make a 7749-day water and land dojo for him, surpassing his undead, so that Gongzi could be safe and sound. ”
The lady was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked her son when he would be well. Wang Muchun told her that Liu Wenting was already well, but now he was weak and needed to recuperate for a few days.
The lady thanked her again and again, and immediately asked the housekeeper to invite the monk to do something for the fishermen who died unjustly.
Liu Wenting's illness was quickly cured, and since then, the Liu Mansion has regarded Wang Muchun as a god and has great respect.
One day a year later, Liu Wenting made an appointment with Wang Muchun, and more than a dozen people including the housekeeper Ding went out of the city to play, played until dark, and set up a tent on the mountain for the night.
At night, everyone was drinking and chatting around the fire, and suddenly they didn't know that a black beast rushed out of **, strong as a bull, standing more than a dozen steps away, staring at everyone closely.
Everyone was so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, Wang Muchun hurriedly stepped forward and said to the beast: "I know, you go back first, you wait for me in Yubotan in Xishan three days later, I will never break my word." ”
After Wang Muchun finished speaking, the beast turned around and left, disappearing into the night in an instant.
Seeing that the beast was gone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Wenting asked what kind of monster it was, Wang Muchun sighed and said
It's all because I can't control myself, and I often show off in front of people, and the monster has found me and wants to compete with me. His spells are pure, I'm just afraid that he is not his opponent, please ask Gongzi to prepare a coffin for me, and go to Yubotan to collect my body for me in three days. ”
The people were shocked when they heard this, and advised him not to go, he said: "If I don't go, he will come to find him, and there is no way to avoid it, otherwise it will affect relatives and friends." ”
When everyone heard him say this, they all sweated for him.
Liu Wenting was not worried that he would go alone, and three days later he came to Yubotan with more than a dozen family members.
Everyone searched for a long time, but they couldn't find any trace of Wang Muchun and the monster, until after dark, they suddenly heard something galloping and jumping in the reeds, emitting a dazzling white light, as fast as lightning, and the sound of hundreds of horses neighing.
Everyone was frightened, squatting on the rocky beach next to them, and they didn't dare to come out.
The fighting continued throughout the night, only to cease at dawn.
After dawn, Liu Wenting asked the family to inspect the reeds, and the family carefully searched for it, and found a beast like a pig and a cow lying on the ground, full of arrows, and did not move.
Not far from the beast, Wang Muchun also fell to the ground, his clothes as if they had been burned by fire, and his hair, beard, and eyebrows were all gone.
Everyone immediately stepped forward to check and found that Wang Muchun was still breathing, so they hurriedly took him home and invited Lang to treat him.
After Lang Zhong saw it, he said that he was not in serious trouble, but he was over-exercising, his body was overdrawn, and his qi and blood were deficient, and he fainted temporarily, and he would be able to wake up tomorrow and recover completely after a few days of recuperation.
The next day, Wang Muchun woke up.
Liu Wenting asked him what happened, he said, that monster is really powerful, almost planted in its hands, fortunately ** taught him the same life-saving skills, at a critical moment can turn hair and beard into sharp swords and arrows, and finally defeated the monster.
The magical stories of Wang Muchun came out of Liu Wenting's mouth. Liu Wenting later relied on his ancestor Mengyin to become a guerrilla general, and eventually became the general soldier.
