Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Yue Yujiu in Yidu County had a fox demon in his house, and the silk utensils were often ingested by the fox demon and thrown on the next wall.Yue Yujiu left a bundle of fine cloth for making clothes, but when he opened it, a large amount of cloth was cut off by the fox demon.There are countless pranks like this, and the whole family suffered so much that they couldn't bear it, and scolded one after another, Yue Yujiu stopped and said: "Don't scold, I'm afraid the fox demon will hear it." The fox demon said on the beam: "I've already heard it." .” Since then, it has become more and more rampant.

One day, the husband and wife were bedridden, the fox stole their clothes, and they squatted on the bed naked, begging for nothing.Suddenly a woman walked in from the window and threw her clothes on the bed.Taking a closer look, the woman is of medium build, wearing a red dress with a long white skirt outside.

Yue Yujiu put on his clothes, bowed and saluted, and said: "Since the Immortal intends to take care of you, please don't bother us in the future. If you don't mind, I want to take you as a righteous daughter, can you?" The fox demon said: "I am older than you. How can I be your daughter?" Yue Yujiu said: "Then let's become sworn brothers, what do you think?" The fox demon nodded and said: "It's more or less the same." So the two sides made peace, and Yue Yujiu ordered his children to call him the fox demon. "Auntie".

At that time, there was a fox demon living upstairs in the house of Mr. Zhangba in Yanzhen, and he often talked with his family.Yue Yujiu asked the fox demon: "The Zhang family is similar, do you know it?" The fox demon said: "That's my Aunt Xi, why don't you know me?" Yue Yujiu said: "Aunt Xi never disturbs others, why don't you follow me?" She studies?" The fox demon didn't listen and continued to make trouble.

However, the fox demon doesn't play tricks on others, and only focuses on fighting against his daughter-in-law. He either throws her shoes, socks, hairpins and other things on the street, or puts dead rat feces in her bowl while her daughter-in-law is eating.At this time, the daughter-in-law is always furious, throwing bowls and yelling, sao fox, dead fox and other vicious words emerge in endlessly.

Yue Yujiu privately begged the fox demon, "The children and juniors keep calling you aunt, why don't you look like an elder at all?" The fox demon said, "Tell your son to divorce his original wife and marry me as his wife. I will guarantee your safety from now on." "The daughter-in-law was sitting on the closet embroidering, when she heard the words, she scolded: "Yin foxes are shameless, do you want to compete with others for a man?" As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of smoke from his buttocks, and his lower body was as hot as fire, and he stood up At a glance, I put a large pile of clothes in the wooden cabinet, all of which were burned and turned into ashes.

The fox instigates Yue's son to send his wife away, but the man doesn't listen, the fox keeps urging him, but the man still ignores, the fox is furious, beats him with stones, beats him to the point of bleeding, and almost kills him .Yue Yujiu was angry and impatient. He heard that Li Chengshui in Xishan was good at drawing magic charms, so he invited him to come to catch the demon.

Li Chengshui used lacquer gold to draw symbols on the red cloth, and it took three days to complete the painting.He also tied the mirror to a wooden stick, and took a picture through the room, and ordered the children to follow the left and right, and if they found it, they would call the police immediately.Coming to a place, Tong'er said, "It looks like a dog is lying on the wall." Li Chengshui moved like the wind, took out a magic talisman, and stuck it on the wall.Then he walked in the courtyard and chanted spells.

After a while, the pigs and dogs of the Yue Mansion came one after another, bowing their heads and begging for mercy, as if they were listening to Li Mou's teaching.Li Chengshui waved his hand and said, "Go." The pigs and dogs nodded and filed away.Li Chengshui continued to chant the mantra, and a group of ducks followed orders, followed by a group of chickens.Li Chengshui pointed at a hen and yelled loudly, the chickens scattered away, only this chicken lay on the ground, flapped its wings and croaked, saying: "I dare not."

Li Chengshui said: "This time the fox trouble is caused by the statue of Zigu in your mansion." The family members shook their heads and said, "I don't have any impression of the statue of Zigu." Li Chengshui said: "Zigu is still there today." The family thought deeply , finally remembered, and said: "Three years ago, when we were having fun, we used straw to tie up a statue of Zigu God. From that moment on, our family has been infested with fox demons, and it has continued to this day."

A group of people searched around, found the statue on the beam in the stable, and handed it to Li.Li Chengshui took the statue, threw it into the fire and burned it, took out a wine bottle from his arms, chanted three times in succession, scolded three times, the hen got up and left without a trace.

Hearing the words of the fox from inside the bottle, he said bitterly: "Old Yue is so cruel! I will come again after a few years." Yue Yujiu heard the words, was afraid in his heart, and begged Li to burn the bottle, Li Chengshui No, put away the wine bottle, bid farewell and leave.

Later, someone saw dozens of wine bottles hanging on the wall of Li Chengshui's home, the bottles were tightly plugged, and the bottles were full of fox spirits.Therefore, everyone suspected in private: Li Chengshui deliberately released the fox demon to do evil, and used the demon to collect a lot of money to make huge profits.
