Charms
Shanyin Qiu was a gentleman in Huzhou, and the weaver was a fellow villager with him, and the two were kind to each other and drank together from time to time.
One day, a certain A came with a volume, and the book recorded was the art of drawing talismans to catch demons and serve the gods to drive away the gods. A is not very literate, so he brought Qiu for advice.
Qiu also liked it very much, and the two discussed it every day after dinner until late at night. Every time at the second watch, a baker would pass by the door, and they would call for the bread to be bought.
After a long time, the baker regarded them as the last patron of the day, and took the initiative to bring the bread without calling. Once he asked the two of them what they were studying, and when they learned that it was a charm, he couldn't help but be envious, and said, "It's a pity that I can't read, if you two can take me to practice together, you can give it away every night for free, and you can use it as tuition." ”
The two agreed, so Qiu served as a teacher, a certain A was a high foot, and the baker became a junior brother. A month later, all three of them were able to draw talismans and recite incantations, but the talismans drawn by Qiu and A had no effect, but the baker was able to summon the golden armor god.
Qiu and the others were very envious, and they studied hard, but there was no progress, and the baker's spells became more and more proficient. One day, he said to the two: "It's not good, Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain knows that we are studying spells and wants to come here to ask for guilt." The crowd was shocked and at a loss. The baker said, "I'll try to block it." ”
Zhang Zhenren really came to Huzhou, and when he crossed Poyang Lake, the wind suddenly poured heavy rain, and he couldn't move forward several times. The real person wrote a letter to the Huzhou government and asked the prefect to inform the three people, saying that as long as the three stopped and stopped stopping him from coming, they would not be punished. If they are stubborn, they will send divine soldiers to fight, and they will not be forgiven when the time comes.
The baker didn't dare to do it again, and the real person came to Huzhou. The three of them hid in the house and did not dare to come out, and the real person did not summon them, but took the apprentice around the alley for two days, and on the third day, they dug a three-foot-deep pit under the apricot tree at the mouth of the alley, and then filled it and left.
From then on, the baker's talisman no longer worked, and he could not summon the golden armor god.
The story is from "Zheyuan Wild Language", and a story was excerpted in "Crazy Talk" before, about someone who was a guest in Longhu Mountain**, collided with the evil god, and Zhang Zhenren could not save him. can only let him go home quickly and see his family. The man was saved by a warlock on the way. Zhang Zhenren was shocked when he learned about it, and invited the warlock to the mountain, warmly entertained him, gave words and guidance, and made the man swear not to be the enemy of Longhu Mountain, so he relieved his heart and gave a generous gift to let the warlock leave.
It seems that Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain also excludes dissidents, but his methods are relatively gentle. Longhu Mountain is located in the southwest of Yingtan City, Jiangxi Province, Shangqing Palace Heavenly Master, that is, Zhang Zhenren, is hereditary, experienced the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and accepted the false position given by the imperial court (depending on the dynasty, from the second to the fifth grade).
The Qing Palace on Longhu Mountain has accumulated a lot of property and property. In 1926, Fang Zhimin broke through the Shangqing Palace, and the Demon Hall was destroyed, saying that all the bottles and jars that imprisoned the demons were broken, and the Heavenly Master Seal and Heavenly Master Sword were confiscated, and their whereabouts were later unknown. The last Heavenly Master was arrested, released and fled to other places, and later died in Taipei. Longhu Mountain has fallen.
Woman who fell off the cliff
Li is the wife of Ren Shihong in Song County, Henan, beautiful and virtuous, and the relationship between husband and wife is very good. After three years of marriage and no children, the husband and wife went to Shaomuro Mountain to pray, and when they came to a steep place, an animal suddenly came out, and Li panicked and fell off the cliff. Looking down at the cliff, there is no bottom, there are cliffs on both sides, and there is no way to go down to check, Ren Shihong can only cry and return. He invited the monk to recite the sutra and vowed not to marry again for the rest of his life.
There is a shepherd boy named Zhang Yi in the Ren family, who usually does some chores. One day, two years later, he was arranged by his master to go to the mountains to collect firewood, and when he was drinking water from the mountain spring, he heard someone calling his name. Zhang Yi looked around and saw a woman not far away, covered with yellow hair, five inches long.
Zhang Yi was afraid and didn't dare to respond, and the yellow-haired girl said: "Don't you know me, it's the sister-in-law of the Ren family!" Zhang Yi looked at it for a long time and saw that it was indeed Li, so he asked, "Sister-in-law is fine, how did you escape?" "I fell off a cliff and landed on a vine, so I was not injured, and when I was hungry, I fed on ligustrum (the fruit of an arbor), and after three months I was covered with hair, and after half a year I was able to leap and jump, and the cliff was as flat as if I were walking on the ground." This mountain spring is very sweet, and I come here every day to drink water, and I don't want to meet the old people. ”
Zhang Yi said that Ren Shihong missed her and implored Li to go home. "I'm so happy in the mountains, why go back to the cage!" Tell Ren Lang for me, continue the strings as soon as possible, and don't think about me anymore. After saying that, he jumped away.
Zhang Yi hurriedly went back to report to the master, Ren Shihong was overjoyed, and went to the mountain spring to wait the next day, and sure enough, he saw the Li family. He stepped forward to hug him, and with tears in his eyes, he told him about the pain of parting. Lee was touched and went home with him. After half a month of eating and drinking in the world, Li's yellow hair gradually fell off, and his body became clumsy and unable to leap. She had several children with her husband, and died of illness forty years later. She sighed before she died: "If you hadn't called Zhang Yi at the beginning, how could you be reduced to today." ”
The story is from "Hairpin Cloud Building Miscellaneous", and it is also recorded in other collections, so I can't figure out which book is the source of the story.
Big fish
My family lives by the Huangpu River, and I often see animals in the water, but I have never seen them very large. Mr. Shen said that during the Qianlong period, a giant fish appeared on the Huangpu River.
At that time, there was a merchant ship sailing on the river, carrying more than 100 stone meters. While he was moving, the sound of wind and waves came from behind the ship, and a huge fish quickly chased after it, with its head held high and its mouth open, and its body was longer than that of a merchant ship.
Everyone trembled, and in a hurry, they picked up the rice bag and threw it into the mouth of the big fish, and threw more than ten bags, but the big fish still followed behind and refused to leave. The ship also carried several bags of salt, each with more than 300 catties. The crowd lifted the salt bag and threw it down, and the big fish swallowed three bags and slowly sank to the bottom.
Two days later, the big fish died in the shallows, and people gathered, cut the grease on its body, boiled it with oil, lit a lamp, and cut out a handful of copper buttons in the belly of the big fish, presumably many people had eaten it.
After hearing about it, the admiral wanted to see it, and hundreds of villagers worked together to carry the fish head to the city, but they couldn't enter the city gate, so they had to ask the admiral to stand on the city tower**.
A rich man once heard that there were jewels in the backbone of a big fish, so he hired someone to remove the meat and dig the bones, and checked them section by section, but there was no pearl.
Mr. Shen is in his 70s, and he also listened to his father and did not see it with his own eyes. It is impossible for such a large fish to be produced in the Huangpu River, and it should have been strayed from the sea. "Dou Cun".
