Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Yang, a member of the Bailian sect, is from Teng County, and he is proficient in heresy.Later, Xu Hongru was put to death, and Yang escaped by chance, wandering around, using heresy techniques to make profits, and there are countless gardens and pavilions in his home.On this day, Yang came to Surabaya to visit the home of a squire and perform tricks.Women came out to watch one after another, including the squire's daughter.Seeing her beautiful appearance, Yang had evil thoughts in his heart. After returning, he cast a magic spell and made a wooden bird. He ordered the concubine to go to seduce the squire's daughter, and taught the opportunity face to face, saying: "So and so, so and so."

The concubine, Mrs. Zhu, is elegant and elegant, and at the moment, according to Yang's instructions, she dresses up and climbs up to the attic.Yang pushed her down from the roof of the building, Zhu felt her body was as light as a leaf, she floated in the sky, and arrived at the squire's mansion in an instant.It was night, the moon was clear, and the surrounding scenery was clear at a glance. Standing on the top of the clouds, Mrs. Zhu took out the wooden bird and threw it on the ground.The wooden bird flapped its wings and flew straight into the lady's boudoir.When the squire's daughter saw the wooden bird, she called to the maidservant, "Catch it quickly." The two stepped forward to catch it, and the wooden bird came out through the window.

The two chased afterward until they reached the courtyard. Suddenly, the wooden bird landed motionless, flapping its wings and making a loud noise.The squire's daughter stepped forward to watch, and the wooden bird slipped under the skirt, put her on its back, and flew into the sky, straight into the sky.Seeing this, the maid was so anxious that she burst into tears.

Zhu said in the clouds: "Little girl, don't panic, I am Chang'e of the Moon Palace. Your lady is the ninth daughter of the Queen Mother, and occasionally falls into the mundane world by mistake. The Queen Mother misses her beloved daughter day and night, so I will go to meet her for the time being. I will send it back." After speaking, he walked away.

The two women flew in the air and came to the border of Surabaya, just in time for the fireworks to be set off on the ground. The fireworks rose rapidly and hit the wooden bird's wings. The squire's daughter was caught off guard. He fell and fell into the home of a certain scholar.

Xing Ziyi, a scholar, comes from a poor family and is upright.Once, the woman next door came to seduce her, but Xing Ziyi sternly refused.The woman left angrily, and when she returned, she falsely accused the good man and told her husband, "The scholar bullied me."

The scholar was so annoyed that he moved to live in another village.There is a sorcerer in the village who is good at divination.The scholar went to visit and asked him to calculate his future. The sorcerer said: "My son is rich, why wear a rag? Does bullying the old man have no eyes?" Xing Ziyi sighed: "I am so poor next time, where can I get my daughter?"

The sorcerer said: "Although you are poor now, your luck will change soon. Not only will you become rich overnight, but you will also have a beautiful wife." Xing Ziyi disagreed, and pushed the door away. The sorcerer said, "Go, go. Come here When the old man's words come true, you will come and reward him."

It was night, and Xing Ziyi was sitting alone under the moon, when suddenly two women descended from the sky, and when they looked intently, they were all stunning beauties.Thinking, "Could it be a monster?" Going up to ask what happened, Zhu refused to confess at first, Xing Ziyi said: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, I will arrest you to see the official." One hundred and fifty told the truth, and begged: "My lord, please don't leak the news. As long as you let me go, the two of us are willing to serve as slaves and handmaids for life." Xing Ziyi thought to himself, "The daughter of a squire is originally a Miss Shijia, how can you take her in privately?" So she was sent back intact.

Since their daughter's ascension, the squire husband and wife were terrified and worried. They were overjoyed when they saw their daughter came back safe and sound. In order to thank the scholar, they gave him 100 taels of silver.

Xing Ziyi took the silver, said goodbye and left, excitedly went to the warlock's residence, thanked him, the warlock smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry, what is a hundred taels of silver? Greater wealth is yet to come." Xing Zi Yi was dubious, and when she returned home, Mrs. Zhu came out to greet her and said, "Please help me, my lord."

Xing Ziyi asked: "What's going on?" Zhu said: "Since the last time the squire's daughter was abducted, a catastrophe has occurred. The squire was furious and sued the government. The government ordered the capture of Bailian's remnants. What should I do?" Xing Ziyi said: "Don't worry, I'll find a solution for you, and the worst thing is to save money and avoid disaster. By the way, your husband Yang is the chief culprit, where is he now?"

Mrs. Zhu said: "He has been rumored for a long time and fled. He is still at large. However, the house was confiscated by the government. I heard that it will be sold publicly for a while." Pleading, the county magistrate accepted the silver and promised to let the past go.

On the other hand, when the squire's daughter was young, she made a marriage contract with the young master of the Liu family. Liu suspected that she had an affair with Xing Ziyi and flatly refused the marriage.In desperation, the squire had no choice but to choose a new son-in-law for his daughter. After discussing the matter with his daughter, he replied, "If the child is not a son of punishment, I will not marry." The squire heard this and did not object, so he immediately married the two of them.

After getting married, the squire bought Yang's house and gave it to his daughter to live in.The family of three moved into it, repaired the utensils, bought servants, and there was not much money left.On this day, Mrs. Zhu said to Xing Ziyi: "The evil husband Yang once buried a lot of silver taels downstairs. I went to check just now. The bricks and stones are intact. I think the silver taels are still there."

The two went to dig, and they found a lot of treasures, including thousands of taels of silver.Since then, Xing Ziyi became rich overnight, and he sincerely admired the magician's commanding words, so he specially prepared a generous gift and came to thank him.
