Ghost Story of Liaozhai

He Shishen, courtesy name Zixiao, lived in the east of Tiaoxi River, with the gate facing the wilderness.When I went out at dusk that night, I saw a woman riding a donkey, followed by a young man.The woman is about fifty years old, with a clear temperament, and the young man is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with extraordinary appearance, and his beauty is better than that of beauties.He Sheng has always had a habit of breaking his sleeves. He saw the young man's spirit go out of his body, and he sent him away with his feet up.

Early the next morning, He Sheng went to the side of the road to wait, hoping to see the boy again, and at sunset, the boy really came.He Sheng asked flatteringly, with a smile, where the young man came from.The young man replied, "Grandfather's house." He Sheng invited him to the fast for a while, but the young man declined because he was not free.He Sheng begged bitterly, but the young man reluctantly agreed, and after sitting for a while, he left. He Sheng took his hand and sent him out the door.He instructed: "If you drop by next time, you must remember to look for me." The young man obeyed and left quickly.

From then on, He Sheng missed the boy day and night, restless, and went to the door to look at it from time to time.In the evening of this day, the boy finally appeared. He Sheng was overjoyed, invited him into the house, and ordered Tong'er to hold a banquet.Asked his name, the boy said, "My surname is Huang, ranked ninth, and I was young and unknown." He Sheng asked, "Why do you often see you passing by the door?"

After several rounds of drinking, Jiulang said goodbye and wanted to go.He Sheng grabbed his arms to keep him, closed the doors and windows and refused to let him go.Jiulang had no choice but to sit down with a blushing face, and the two lit up the lamp to talk together, Jiulang was as gentle as a virgin.Sometimes He Sheng speaks recklessly, but Jiu Lang shyly faces the wall and refuses to talk to him.He Shengyu slept with him in the same bed, but Jiulang refused.He declined and said, "I'm not used to sleeping with other people." He Sheng insisted repeatedly, but Jiulang couldn't do it, so he took off his coat and lay down on the bed with his pants on.He Sheng extinguished the candle, lingered next to Jiulang, stretched out his arms and hugged him into his arms, intending to make him happy, Jiulang said angrily: "I regard you as a gentleman, so I linger with you, but just watch his behavior. The same sex is intimacy, it is not as good as a beast." Hatefully got up, and went to look after himself, He Sheng stared at the stars and stars outside the window, and sighed.

Since Jiulang left, He Sheng was worried that he would never see each other again, and he was in a daze every day, missing the boy and staring at the Big Dipper.After several days, Jiulang was willing to show up. He Sheng was overjoyed, stepped forward to apologize, and forced him into the fast.The two sat down and laughed and chatted, Jiulang looked natural, He Sheng secretly thanked him for not thinking about the old bad things.After a while, He Sheng undressed and got on the bed, and asked Jiu Lang to sleep with him again. Jiu Lang said, "I have already engraved the meaning of lingering in my heart. But why do you have to do this when you are friends?" Kissing Yu Mu, Kuro had no choice but to agree.He Sheng waited for him to sleep soundly, and was frivolous in the dark. Jiulang woke up with a start, put on his clothes suddenly, and fled by night.

He Sheng was unhappy, if he lost something, he forgot to sleep and eat, and gradually became haggard.The only thing I do every day is to tell Tong'er to wait for Jiulang outside the house.On this day, Jiulang passed by the door, and Tong'er pulled his clothes into the house.Seeing He Sheng's thin face, Jiulang felt horrified, and went forward to express condolences.He Sheng told the truth, tears streaming down with the words.Jiulang spoke softly, and said: "What I mean is that you and I love each other, which is neither beneficial to my brother nor harmful to my brother, so I don't want to do it. But if you insist on it, what else should I cherish? Wait for you Let's talk about recovering from illness." He Sheng Dayue, since Jiulang left, his condition has improved, and he recovered within a few days.Soon after, Jiulang arrived as promised, and the two undressed and went to bed, and they were in love with each other.

At the end of the matter, Jiulang said: "Tonight, I reluctantly obey you. This matter should not be taken for granted." Then he said, "I want to ask you for help." My mother suffers from heartache, and only the Imperial Physician Qiye Wangzhi Xiantian Pill can treat it. You and Imperial Physician Qi have always been friends, please ask for some pills for me." He Sheng nodded in agreement, went to the city to ask for medicine, and handed it to Jiulang the next day.Jiulang was overjoyed and thanked again and again.He Sheng wanted to have sex with him again, Jiu Lang shook his head and said, "Don't get entangled. Let me find another beautiful woman for you, who will be ten thousand times better than me." He Sheng asked, "Who is it?" Jiu Lang said: "I have a cousin , glamorous. If you want, I will go matchmaking for you." He Sheng smiled and did not answer, Jiulang left with medicine.

Three days later, Jiulang came again, still asking for medicine, He Sheng resented him for not showing up for several days, and there was a lot of sarcasm in his words.Jiulang said: "I couldn't bear to hurt you. Since you are stubborn, please don't regret it." Since then, the two have been happy every night.Jiulang would ask He Sheng for medicine every three days. Doctor Qi was very surprised and said to He Sheng: "My elixir is extremely effective. Three prescriptions of medicine can cure stubborn diseases. It has been so long. Your illness has not yet recovered. Okay?" While speaking, Xing wrapped three packs of pills for him at once.Looking at He Sheng, he said: "I see that your expression is gloomy. Could it be that you are sick?" He Sheng said: "No." Be careful, life is short."

After He Sheng went back, he mentioned this matter to Jiu Lang, and Jiu Lang praised: "King Qi Ye is really a good doctor, but I am actually a fox demon. We can't date anymore, or you will be hurt." He Sheng didn't believe it, and was worried about Jiu Lang. No longer meeting with myself, so only part of the pill was given to him.The two continued to hang out, and after a while, He Sheng fell ill.Doctor Qi gave him a diagnosis and treatment, and said: "You didn't listen to my advice at the beginning, but now your soul is out of your body, and you have no way to recover, so I can't do anything." Jiulang came to visit He Sheng in his study every day, and sighed: "If you don't listen to my words, you will die. this."

Not long after, He Sheng died, and Jiulang returned weeping bitterly.

Prior to this, there was a Taishi in the county, who was a classmate with He Sheng when he was young, and became an official at Hanlin at the age of 17.At that time, the government was corrupt, and the corrupt officials Qin Fan monopolized the power, and no one dared to be an enemy.Tai Shishu impeached Qin Fan for his crimes, but was dismissed instead.Qin Fan and Taishi are at odds with each other, and they never forget to kill the enemy.It just so happened that Taishi had a close relationship with a rebel king when he was young, and this matter fell into the hands of Qin Fan. Taishi knew that his life was in danger, so he simply committed suicide and his wife hanged himself to death.

After Taishi died, he woke up suddenly after a night, and shouted: "I am He Zixiao." The family members asked repeatedly, and what Taishi said was all about the He family. It turned out that he had been resurrected by He Sheng.

After He Sheng was resurrected, he went out to run wildly and returned to the old house.This incident soon spread to Qin Fan's ears, thinking that Taishi had cheated his death to avoid disaster, and wanted to put him to death.He sent someone to ask for a thousand taels of gold, but He Sheng pretended to agree, feeling very depressed.

While worrying, Jiulang suddenly visited, and the two met with sorrow and joy.He Sheng wanted to have sex with Jiulang again, and Jiulang scolded: "Do you have three lives, so you are not afraid of death?"Jiulang frowned and thought for a while, and said for a long time: "You and I are reunited. You should be glad. How can you commit suicide? Your son is single for a long time, and my cousin Huili is resourceful. She will be able to share your worries." He Sheng said: "How can I see your cousin? ?”

Jiulang said: "It's not difficult. My cousin and I will pass by here tomorrow. You can call yourself my elder brother. I will pretend to be thirsty and come to ask for water, and I will bring my cousin into the house. Then you will act in camera. When you see me In the blink of an eye, he said 'the donkey has run away', I have my own opinion." The two decided on a plan, and Jiulang said goodbye.

At noon the next day, Jiulang and his cousin passed by the door. He Sheng waved his hands to say hello.Jiulang coughed and said, "It's so hot, do you have tea?" He Sheng nodded quickly, "Yes, yes. Please come in, please come in."

Jiu Lang dragged his cousin into the house together, the girl looked hesitant, as if unwilling, Jiu Lang said with a smile: "Third sister, don't be surprised, this brother He is my elder brother, we are all in the same family, so don't avoid suspicion." Persevere, nodded.Jiulang tied the donkey to a stake outside the house, and the three of them walked into the room.

He Sheng served tea, looked at Jiulang, and said, "If you can't keep what you said to me last time, then I'll just die." To myself, I understood in my heart: the two of them are plotting against me.Li collapsed and said softly, "Let's go."

He Sheng was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted: "The donkey has run away." Jiulang jumped up, his expression panicked, and he said in surprise: "Oh, the donkey has run away, I'll go out and have a look. Cousin, don't go, wait for me Come back." He walked out quickly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only a lonely man and a widow were left in the house. He Sheng hugged the woman into his arms and forcibly made love with her.The woman turned pale with fright, and called repeatedly, "Cousin Nine, help me." But there was silence outside the room, and there was no answer.The girl was so anxious that she pleaded softly: "Master already has a wife, why don't you care about your shame and come here to bully me, a weak girl?"

He Sheng smiled and said: "I have no wife and family, and I am still a widow." The girl thought for a long time before saying: "Then you make an oath: Even if the mountains and rivers are wiped out, you must never abandon them in chaos. I will follow you." Without any hesitation, He Sheng immediately pointed to the sky and made an oath.The woman no longer resisted, and the two went to bed to have sex.

After the incident, when Jiulang came back, the woman was cheated and suffered a loss. She hated him very much and looked annoyed.Jiulang persuaded: "This is He Zixiao, a famous scholar in the past, and today's Taishi. I have always been friends with my brother, and I can entrust him to him for life. Even if my aunt knows about this, she won't blame me."

During the conversation, the sky became darker and darker. He Sheng asked the girl to stay. The girl was worried that her aunt would blame her, and she didn't want to stay overnight. Jiu Lang said: "Mother, don't worry, I'll explain it for you, just stay at ease." Smiling slightly , straddled the donkey and left.

The girl lived in the He Mansion for several days. One day a woman passed by with a maidservant. She was about forty years old and looked like Sanniang. He Sheng called the girl out to watch. It turned out to be her mother.

When the woman saw her daughter for the first time, she was very surprised and asked, "Why are you here?" Sanniang was ashamed and could not answer.He Sheng invited the woman into the house, bowed down on the ground, and explained the reason.The woman smiled and said, "Jiulang is really messing around, he hastily decided on the marriage, why didn't he discuss it with me?"

Sanniang cooks and prepares meals to entertain her mother, and the woman takes her leave after a meal.He Sheng was happy to marry a beautiful woman, but when he thought of being extorted by Qin Fan for a thousand taels of gold, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, Cheng Ri frowned, with a worried look on his face.Sanniang asked the reason clearly and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this matter, cousin Jiu can handle it alone." He Sheng asked: "Why do you say that?"

San Niang said: "I heard that Qin Fan is very masculine, and that he is the director of Jiu Cousin who confuses men. He will take the initiative to seduce Qin Fan and do what he likes. Resentment can be eliminated and revenge can be avenged." He Sheng He hesitated and said: "I'm afraid that Jiulang won't agree." Sanniang said: "Cousin Jiu is the softest-hearted, as long as you beg hard, everything will be done."

The next day when Jiulang came, He Sheng knelt down and begged for help. Jiulang said in surprise: "You and I are friends of two generations. If there is anything I can do for you, just ask. As long as you can contribute, you will never refuse. Why are you so aloof?" Sheng was overjoyed, and confessed all the strategies in his heart.When Jiulang heard this, his face was embarrassed, and Sanniang said: "I cheated on my husband, who caused it? What should I do if my husband is murdered by someone?" Jiulang had no choice but to agree.

The three acted according to the plan, and He Sheng wrote to his friend Wang Taishi, asking him to help deal with Qin Fan, and introduced Jiulang to him.Wang Taishi understood, hosted a banquet for Qin Fan, and ordered Jiulang to dress up as a woman and perform a demon dance during the banquet, just like a beautiful woman.Qin Fan was full of lust, and immediately discussed with Wang Taishi, wanting to buy Jiulang with a lot of money, Wang Taishi pretended to be in a dilemma, declined, and finally nodded.

Qin Fan was overjoyed, and immediately took Jiulang back to the mansion, and was happy with him day and night. As for his original wife and concubines, they all treated him like dust.Jiulang was quite favored by Qin Fan, and his food was provided with luxury like an emperor, and he was bestowed with ten thousand taels of gold.

Half a year later, Qin Fan was sick in bed. Knowing that his life was not long, Jiu Lang took care of the gold and silver, and used the excuse to go home to visit relatives, and took the opportunity to escape.

Not long after, Qin Fan died, and Jiulang returned to He Sheng's residence, invested in a new mansion, bought field maids, and brought his mother and Sanniang's family to live there.

When Jiulang goes out, chariots, horses and servants gather, and the people don't know that he is a fox demon.
