Chen Erweng

One year, an old man who claimed to be Chen Erweng went to Xianyou County, Fujian Province to report the case, saying that his wife had been killed by a certain person in Xiali Village. The county order sent people to visit the scene of the crime, and the villagers all said that there was no such thing, and Chen Erweng was not from their village. The old man went to the county government again to complain, the county order was helpless, and he went to visit in person, but still found nothing, and the old man couldn't say that his wife's body was in **, but he repeatedly asked for a severe punishment for a certain person.

The county order could not be finalized, Chen Erweng went to the mansion many times to complain, and the government strictly ordered the case to be solved, otherwise he would be removed from his post and investigated. The county order is sorrowful, but there is nothing to be done.

Suddenly, a priest asked to see him, with a long robe and a scarf, and his appearance was strange. The Taoist priest held a cat in his arms and said to the county order: "The poor Taoist learned of the adult's embarrassment, and came to help, and took the cat with him for a while, and he will see it after three days." ”

After the Taoist priest left, the county magistrate saw that although the cat had smooth fur and good spirits, there was no other abnormality, so he believed it and took it with him.

Two days later, Chen Erweng came to the county office again, arrogant and did not kneel, and said sharply: "A ** kills people, and the adults have repeatedly sheltered him, he must have been bribed, so greedy and perverted the law, are you not afraid of death?" "The county commander wanted to be angry, but because of the strict orders of his superiors, he didn't know what to do for a while.

The cat squatting on the table suddenly jumped up, pounced on the old man and bit him in the face. Chen Erweng screamed, hid his face and left, and the cat chased him out.

The county commander felt strange and chased after him all the way with the officials. Thirty miles away, he saw the cat wrestling with a pig-sized mouse, with a dozen mice next to it.

The people went forward to kill the rats, and found countless food, clothing, gold and silver in the caves. Visiting the neighborhood, all of them have been lost by the people's homes in the past few years. A remembered that a year ago, he had killed a very large white mouse, and it seemed that he was the wife of this rat spirit. "Guangyan Variant Edition".

Old monk

During the Yuanhe period, Jinshi Xue was playing in Weizhou and occasionally entered a temple. I saw an old monk's beard as white as snow, and his appearance was very ugly. Xue couldn't help but say: "Strange this monk! The old monk said: "Young people are rare and strange, what is there to be strange about me?" If you want to hear strange things, I can tell you about them. Xue gave a salute and sat down to listen to the old monk tell a story.

The old monk said: "When I was young, I liked to travel, and I went far north and beyond the borders. One day, when I walked to a place, I saw a large withered tree stump, a hundred feet high and dozens of thick. There is a hole in the root of the trunk, peeking in, the trunk is hollow, reaching the top, and you can see the sunlight streaming through from above.

I was amazed when a woman ran up to me, as fast as the wind. The woman stopped in front of me, her hair scattered, her bare feet, her arms bare, her red shoulders and skirt, and her face was so charming.

The woman said to me, 'Master have mercy, save me!' When I asked him how he could save him, the woman said: 'Someone is chasing after him and saying he didn't see it!' Then he went into the hollow of the tree.

I had not taken a hundred paces forward when I was confronted by another knight, dressed in a golden robe, with a bow and arrow in his hand. The mount runs like the wind, and it can cross more than 30 zhang in one step, just like flying in the sky. The knight reined in his horse and said to me, 'Do you see a woman in red?' I shook my head. Then the knight said, 'If you see it, don't hide it, for she is a flying yaksha who led her henchmen to kill 800,000 people, and now all her henchmen have been exterminated, and only the first evil is left without subduing the law.' Our 8,000 men scattered in pursuit, and we chased 84,000 miles from Shatuotian to here. ’

I pointed to the dead wood, and the knight leaped there in a few strokes, peered into the hollow of the tree, and then rode towards the upper part of the stump. I turned back**, only to see a red dot flying out of the top of the dead wood, and the knight chased after me, gradually disappearing into the sky. I looked at the sky for a long time, and suddenly dozens of blood spots fell, thinking that the Flying Yaksha had been hit by an arrow, and I don't know if I was captured.

Young man, after listening to this story, do you still think that ugly looks are strange? Xue got up and saluted, praised the story, apologized for the gaffe just now, and then left the temple. "Taiping Guangji".

Muyu Mountain

Muyu Mountain, in fact, is a small Tugang, more than a mile away from the county seat, resembling a wooden fish, hence the name. There was once a Taoist priest who dug up a book of talismans and an ancient sword, so he learned spells. So he settled in Muyu Mountain and chased foxes and exorcised demons for many years.

One day, someone brought a horse and said that the master's daughter had been deceived by a fox, and asked him to remove the demon. The Taoist priest happily got on the horse, and came to a place an hour later, with a high-rise building, similar to your family. After meeting the master, he did not mention the matter of exterminating the demons, but just asked the servants to arrange food and accommodation. The food is gorgeous, but there is only a spoon and no chopsticks.

Three days passed, but the master did not show up again, and the servant did not bring any more food. He seemed to be the only one left in the huge house. The Taoist priest suspected that he was being teased by the monster, and drew a talisman in the palm of his hand with spittle, and a palm thunder was issued, and with a bang, the house disappeared, and he stood in the deep mountains and rocks.

He brushed aside the thorns and went down the hill to find the residents to ask for directions, but he couldn't understand the language. barely communicated to understand that he was in Yunnan thousands of miles away. Begging all the way, it took half a year to return to Muyu Mountain, he buried the book and sword in their place, and no longer gave people the method to exorcise demons. "Trivia of the Corridor".

Hangzhou Dazong

Wan Jinpeng does the dojo to give ghosts every year during the Midyear Festival, and this year, he and his friend Shi Liunan do this together. Shi Liunan used to be an official, but now he can see ghosts and communicate with ghosts who come to eat.

They don't give alms to wandering spirits and ghosts, but to invite deceased friends and seniors. When setting up the venue, write down the names of the people you want to invite on a piece of paper and burn them.

At the beginning of the almsgiving, Shi Liunan saw the ghosts all seated, matching the names one by one. Suddenly, an old man with a short beard and a jacket and no hat came in a hurry, and said: "Wan Jincang is my student, and it is really unreasonable not to invite me." ”

Shi Liunan didn't know this person, so Shi Li asked, "Where did the old gentleman come from?" Name? A ghost next to him introduced: "This is Mr. Hang Dazong, who was once a teacher of Wan Xiucai." The old man also said: "In my previous life, I was a parasitic boy and was responsible for lighting incense by the Bodhisattva's side. Seeing the beauty of Jinxiang occasionally moved, she was demoted to the mortal world. Originally, he could return to heaven after cleaning himself, but he was good at belittling people, and he formed a party to fight against dissidents and accept ** bribes, so he wandered between heaven and earth after death and had no home. ”

Shi Liunan asked: "Why doesn't Mr. re-enter the cycle of life?" Hang Dazong said: "Looking back on the more than 70 years in the world, it is not fun to pass by. Shi Liunan asked him if he was happy to be a wandering spirit, and Hang Dazong said: "There is no suffering, and there is no happiness, but fortunately, the body and mind are free." As he spoke, he sat down and began to eat. While eating, he said with a smile: "As long as Shi Liunan is no longer an official, we Tian Yun's friends will have something to eat." "Tian Yun" refers to ghosts. "The Son Doesn't Speak".
