Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Yang Yuwei, who lives on the shore of Surabaya, lives in the wilderness, and there are many ancient tombs outside the wall.Reading by candle at night, the wind blows poplars outside the window, the sound is like waves, and my heart is sad. Suddenly, someone outside the wall recites the poem "The wind blows in the dark night, and the fireflies make the grass touch the curtain again." Repeatedly, his voice is sad and delicate Wan is like a woman.Yang Yuwei became suspicious, so he went to check outside the wall the next morning, but there was no sign of anyone, only a purple belt was left among the thorns.Yang Yuwei picked up the purple belt and put it on the window.At the second watch of the night, the sound of chanting poems started again outside the house. Yang Yu moved his chair to look up, and the chanting stopped suddenly.

The next night, Yang Yu crouched on the wall to watch. At the end of the night, a woman slowly walked out from the grass, holding a small tree in her hand, bowing her head and moaning.Yang Yuwei coughed lightly, the woman woke up in shock and disappeared into the weeds.From then on, Yang Yuwei often watched under the wall. This night after listening to the woman reciting a poem, the partition wall added the last two lines for her, "Who will see the sad feelings? When the green sleeves are single and the cold moon is on the moon." For a long time, there was silence outside the window, Yang Yuwei entered the room disappointed.

As soon as he sat down, he suddenly saw a beautiful woman coming from outside. He bowed his knees and said, "Young master is an elegant man. I shouldn't keep avoiding you." Yang Yuwei was overjoyed and took the woman to his seat.Looking at his appearance, he was thin, timid and cold, and he was too weak to wear clothes. He asked: "Where is Miss's hometown? Why has she been wandering outside for a long time?" The woman said: "My concubine is from Longxi. More than ten years. Nine springs in the wilderness, lonely and lonely. The poems chanted by Shicai were written by myself, and I talked about them to express my hatred, but my talents are limited, and I can't think about it. Fortunately, my son continued it for me. The concubine is very grateful. "

Yang Yuwei wanted to make friends with him. The woman shook her head and said: "Ghosts in the vagina are no better than strangers. If you have sex with a man, it will damage his life. A concubine can't bear to harm the son." Yang Yuwei stopped when he heard the words, and joked Touching the woman's chest with both hands, it looks like the flesh of a chicken head, plump and smooth, like a virgin.Wanting to watch the woman showing her feet again, the woman bowed her head and smiled and said: "Crazy life is too wordy." Yang Yuwei held the woman's ankle and played with it gently. , and a purple belt on the other foot.

Yang Yuwei asked, "Why don't you wear purple belts on both sides?" The woman said: "I lost a purple belt in a hurry last night because I was avoiding the young master. I don't know where it is left." You can change it." Walking to the window, he took off the purple belt and handed it to the woman.The woman asked in amazement, "Where did it come from?" Yang Yuwei said, "Isn't it the one you lost? I just picked it up." The woman smiled and said nothing, leaned over and untied the colored thread, put on the purple belt and put it on again. Well, looking through the books on the table, I saw a copy of "Lianchang Palace Ci", and said with emotion: "This concubine loved this book the most when she was alive, and now I read it again, it's like a dream."

The two talked about poetry, the woman was clever and cute, Yang Yuwei couldn't help but cut the candle to the west window, just like meeting a good friend.Since then, as long as Yang Yuwei recites poems every night, the woman will arrive in a blink of an eye.Privately told him, "Don't reveal the matter of our friendship. The concubine was timid since she was a child, and she was afraid of being invaded by evil guests." Yang Yuwei promised.The two are like fish and water, although there is no physical relationship, but the depth of friendship is better than the thrush in the boudoir of husband and wife.

The woman often copied books for Yang Yuwei under the lamp, and her handwriting was beautiful.He also selected hundreds of palace poems, recorded and recited them one by one, and presented them to scholars.She has a gentle personality and is knowledgeable and versatile. Yang Yuwei bought a chessboard and a pipa, and asked her for advice every night.

Women sometimes get up, and they will play the tune by themselves, playing the tune of "Zero Rain on the Banana Chuang", which hurts Yang Yuwei.The two entertained themselves by lighting a lamp, forgetting their tiredness after having fun, and waited until the dawn appeared before the woman reluctantly left.

This day, my friend Xue Sheng came to visit, and it happened that Yang Yuwei was taking a nap at home.Seeing the pipa and chessboard in the house, Xue Sheng thought to himself, "Brother Yang is not good at playing piano and chess, what is he doing buying these things?" Looking through the books, he saw that there were palace words in them, with good handwriting, and he became more and more skeptical.Er Yang Yuwei woke up, Xue Sheng asked: "It's a pipa and a chessboard, what the hell are you doing?" How about women's poems, how to explain them?" Yang Yuwei said: "It was written by a friend of mine."

Xue Sheng didn't believe it, so he checked the poems repeatedly, and saw a line of small characters recorded on the last page: "A certain month and a certain day chain book." He smiled and said: "Who is Lianlian? Why do you want to hide it from me?"

Yang Yu was too embarrassed to answer.Xue Sheng asked repeatedly and threatened to take away the poems, but Yang Yuwei had no choice but to tell the truth.Xue Sheng hoped to meet Lian Lian, Yang Yuwei said: "She doesn't like to meet strangers." nodded.

In the middle of the night, Lianhe came, and Yang Yuwei relayed Xue Sheng's words to her, Lianhe said angrily: "How did I tell you? Who allowed you to chatter endlessly and reveal your words to outsiders." Yang Yuwei defended himself with the truth, Lianhe said: "The fate between you and me is over." Yang Yuwei comforted him in every possible way, Lian Lian was always depressed, got up to leave, and said: "I will avoid it for the time being."

The next day when Xue Sheng came, Yang Yuwei said, "I'm sorry, you go, Lian Lian doesn't want to see you." Xue Sheng suspected that he was making excuses, and brought two friends to visit again in the evening, and the three of them stayed and refused to leave. Yang Yuwei was very dissatisfied with the noise at night, and even rolled his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

For several consecutive nights like this, none of the chains appeared, the three of them started to retreat, and the noise gradually stopped.Suddenly, I heard the sound of reciting from outside the window, which was very sad.Xue Sheng listened attentively and let his imagination run wild.Another guest, Wang, is a brave warrior with a bad temper. He grabbed a huge rock and threw it out of the window, cursing: "I'm squeamish and refuse to see guests. What kind of airs are you putting on? You're always clinging, crying, it sounds so irritating." Bored." The moaning outside the window stopped abruptly.Everyone couldn't help complaining about Wang's recklessness, and Yang Yuwei was even more indignant, with a sullen look on his face.

The next day everyone dispersed, and Yang Yuwei stayed alone in an empty fast, waiting for the woman hard, and he waited for two nights without a trace.Just when she was feeling sad, the woman came suddenly and cried, "My friend, you are so fierce, you scared me to death." Yang Yuwei apologized quickly, and the woman sighed, "The fate between you and me is over, so let's part." She fled away vaguely.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and I haven't seen the chain show up again.Yang Yuwei misses her beautiful woman day and night, and he regrets it too much.That night, he was drunk alone and entered through the curtain, Yang Yuwei wept with joy, "You forgive me?"Yang Yuwei questioned the reason, and stopped talking, and finally said: "I used to leave in a fit of anger, but now I come here to beg you, so I am ashamed." Yang Yuwei asked, "What happened?"

Lianlian said: "A ghost messenger came from somewhere and forced me to be his concubine. How can I bow down to serve the evil ghost with my innocent body? But I am a weak girl, and I can't resist. If you don't forget the old love , please help me." Yang Yuwei was furious, wishing he could stab the ghost messenger to death with his sword.But humans and ghosts have different paths, but there is nothing they can do.Lian Lian said: "Master, go to bed early tomorrow night, you and I will meet in a dream." The two discussed the countermeasures, sat until dawn, Lian Lian said goodbye and left.

It was afternoon, Yang Yuwei drank a few bowls of strong wine to strengthen his courage, drank until dusk, got on the bed drunk, and fell asleep dimly. Go to a courtyard, enter the house side by side, and close the doors and windows.Suddenly there was a deafening noise outside the house, and boulders smashed into the door. The woman said in shock: "The enemy has arrived." Yang Yuwei opened the door and ran out, and saw a man standing in the yard, with a red hat and green clothes, and a sharp mouth full of hard thorns. Can't help reprimanding angrily.

The evil spirit was annoyed, staring and speaking fiercely.Yang Yuwei was furious and ran up to fight.The evil spirit threw a stone back, like rain, and the boulder hit his wrist. Yang Yuwei frowned and cried out in pain. With a ding, the saber fell to the ground.The situation was critical, at this moment, a person came from a distance, with an iron bow on his back, and stared at him, it was Wang. When the old man met, Yang Yu couldn't help but call for help.

Wang had discovered the evil spirit a long time ago, so he bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot the evil spirit's thigh with one arrow, and another arrow killed it.Yang Yuwei went forward to express his thanks and told the whole story, Wang said with a smile: "I offended Miss Lian last time, I will save her once tonight, and I can redeem my sin." He bowed his head, not daring to make a sound.

On the wooden table in the room, there is a small knife, only one foot long, and the scabbard is decorated with gold and jade, which is extraordinarily luxurious.Wang took out his treasured sword and stared at it, appreciating the light, couldn't put it down, and praised it again and again.After talking a few words with Yang Yuwei, he saw the woman shrugging her shoulders at a glance, as if she was very afraid of him, with a pitiful expression, and immediately said goodbye and left.Yang Yuwei also got up and went home, fell to the ground when climbing over the wall, woke up with a start, and heard cocks crowing at the entrance of the village, and it was already dawn.

There were bursts of severe pain on the wrist, and looking at it under the sun, the skin and flesh were all swollen.At noon, Wang came to visit and told him about his dream.Yang Yuwei smiled and said, "Did you dream of shooting arrows?" Wang wondered, "How do you know?" Se, wishing to see her, said: "Brother Yang, please help me, no matter what, let me meet the real girl Lian."

Yang Yuwei said: "You go back and wait, I will reply to you tomorrow."

At night, Lian Lian came to thank you, Yang Yuwei said: "This is all thanks to Brother Wang, he wants to see you, what do you think?" Lian Lian said: "Prince Wang helped you and dare not forget. But he looks mighty , I was a little scared. In this way, the meeting will be avoided. Didn’t he like my small knife? Things. Now pass it on to Prince Wang, seeing a knife is like seeing a person."

When Wang came the next day, Yang Yuwei presented him with a treasured knife, saying: "This knife is not from China, it is extraordinary, so keep it well." Wang was overjoyed and thanked again and again.

Since then, Yang Yuwei and Lianlian have reconciled as before, and see each other every night.Several months passed in the blink of an eye, and this night they laughed and laughed under the lamp, as if they had something to say, their face blushed, and after a long while, they finally said, "I have been loved by the young master for a long time, the concubine absorbs popularity, eats fireworks every day, raw bones, as long as The blood of a stranger can be brought back to life." Yang Yuwei said: "I have plenty of blood, how much do you want?"

Lian Lian blushed and said, "Blood is not enough, you also need vigor."

Yang Yuwei asked, "How to get Jing Qi?"

Chain said: "It's fine for a man and a woman to have sex. It's just that after the handover, the young master will be seriously ill. Please consider carefully."

Yang Yuwei said: "What else are you thinking about? To be able to linger with a beautiful woman is something I wish for. To be honest, I have been coveting your beauty for a long time."

The two went to bed to have sex. After the matter was over, Yang Yuwei pierced his arm with a dagger, and the blood dripped and fell into Lianlian's navel. Lianlian smiled and said: "You're done, I'm going. After a hundred days, the treetops in front of the concubine's grave will meet again." There are blue birds chirping, young master remember to dig the grave for me, don’t forget the date: it’s a hundred days, one more day or one less day won’t do.”

After more than ten days, Yang Yuwei was really sick, with abdominal distension and wanted to die. He consulted a doctor for medicine, took a few prescriptions, went to the toilet a few times, and he recovered from his illness.Counting the days in my mind, when the hundred days expired, I took a hoe and came to the chained graves, and I saw the blue birds singing, and said happily: "The grave can be dug." Swing the hoe and shovel the soil, dig open the grave, see that the coffin is rotten, and open it The coffin cover was lifelike, put on a coat for her, and carried her back to the bed. After a while, there was a sound of breathing in her nose, as thin as a gossamer. Yang Yuwei fed her half a bowl of soup. Finally woke up.He laughed and said, "Rebirth, 20 years, is like a dream."
