Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Gu Sheng from Jiangnan lived in a certain inn in Jinan, his eyes were swollen, the pain was unbearable, and he moaned day and night.After more than ten days, the pain subsided slightly, but every time I closed my eyes, I saw a huge house with four or five layers of front and back, the door was open, and people were going back and forth in the deepest part, but the distance was too far to see clearly.

This day, Gu Sheng closed his eyes again, and suddenly flew into the courtyard, passed through three gates, and there was no one there.One of the halls faces south and north, and the floor is covered with red carpets. At a glance, the room is full of babies, sitting, lying, or crawling.In astonishment, a person walked out from the back of the room, saw Gu Sheng for the first time, and said with a smile: "The little prince said that there is a visitor from afar, it is indeed true. Young master, please come with me to the banquet."

Gu Sheng asked: "Where is this?" The man said: "This is the residence of the Ninth Prince's son. The son has just recovered from his illness. Today, relatives and friends came to congratulate him. It happened that Mr. caught up with him. It is a good fate." Came to a large hall with carved beams and painted buildings. There are nine wooden pillars in the hall, tens of feet high and tens of meters thick, with marble steps spread out layer by layer.Going up the steps, as far as you can see, there are many guests in the hall, a young man in the north, with a dignified appearance, is naturally the prince.

Gu Sheng knelt down to salute, the prince lifted him up and asked him to sit down beside him.In the hall, there is a masterpiece of drum music, singing and dancing, and performing dramas. The performance is a "Hua Feng San Zhu".At the third turn, Gu Sheng's ears buzzed, and the shop owner's voice came, calling: "Master, it's time to eat."

Gu Sheng got up and stood up, excused himself to go to the bathroom, and left in a hurry.When I came outside the hall, I saw the red sun hanging high, it was already noon.Looking intently, he was lying on the bed, still in the inn, and had not left. There were two men standing in front of him, one was the owner of the shop, and the other was the bookboy XX.

Gu Sheng was eager to return to the main hall, dismissed the two of them in a few words, closed the doors and windows, and closed his eyes again.As soon as he closed his eyes, he immediately returned to the mansion.Walking along the old road, I came to the previous hall. The babies in the hall had long since disappeared. Instead, there were many middle-aged and old women, all hunchbacked and ugly. When they saw Gu, they cursed in unison. "Where is the scoundrel who dares to peep!" Gu Sheng didn't dare to distinguish, his footsteps flew like flying, and he left in a hurry.

Erqing, when he came to the main hall and met the prince, he saw a thick beard under his chin, more than a foot long, he was shocked and shouted: "Your Highness, I have only been away for a quarter of an hour, why do you grow so many beards? "The prince laughed and said: "For a moment in the palace, for the first half of the world, there is no need to make a fuss. Watch a play, watch a play." While speaking, he clicked on the play "Peng Zu Marries a Wife".

During the banquet, a prostitute held a coconut ladle and came forward to pour wine. A ladle of fine wine was as much as five buckets. Gu Sheng was startled and declined, "I have a disease in my lower eye and cannot drink. Please forgive me, master." The prince said: "What's a mere eye disease? I have a lot of imperial physicians, let them show you." Patting his hands lightly, a man stepped forward and took out a bottle of plaster from his arms, which was as white as snow.The man stretched out two fingers, opened Gu Sheng's eye sockets, dipped some ointment on the jade hairpin, and applied it on Gu Sheng's eyes, and said: "Close your eyes and rest your mind, go to bed and lie down for a while, and the illness will heal automatically."

At present, Gu Sheng went to the bedroom to rest under the guidance of the maid. The bed curtain was soft and exuded a faint fragrance.Gu Sheng felt comfortable all over, and fell asleep soon.In his sleep, he seemed to hear the sound of gongs and drums beating, he woke up with a start, looked around, and returned to the inn before he knew it.The movement just now was just caused by the black dog licking the frying pan.But the eyes are cool, and the disease is completely recovered.Close your eyes again, see nothing.

Huafeng Sanzhu: Emperor Yao went to Huazhou to inspect, and the guards of Huazhou said to him: "Hey, isn't this a saint? Please let me bless you. I wish you health and longevity." Emperor Yao said: "I dare not accept it. "The guard said: "Then I ask God to make you rich." Emperor Yao said: "I dare not accept it." The guard said: "Then I ask God to let you have many descendants." Emperor Yao said: "I dare not accept it." The guard asked He said: "Longevity, wealth, and many descendants are all things people wish for, but you don't want them. Why?" People invite more disasters, longevity will make people suffer more humiliation, none of these three things can promote virtue, so I reject your blessing."
