Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 6 Painting the Wall

Menglongtan, Jiangxi Province, and his friend Zhu Xiaolian live in Kyoto.

On this day, the two went out to play. They occasionally went to a temple, and the temple was not very spacious. The incense in the temple is not strong, and there are few monks, and there is only one old monk in the list.

When the old monk saw a guest coming to the door, he came out to greet him, leading two scholars to walk around and point out the scenery. After a while, I came to a hall.

The hall is clean and dust-proof. There is a statue of a Baozhi monk in the middle, and there are murals painted on the walls on both sides, which are lifelike.

On the east mural, there is a clear scattered flower girl, her posture is beautiful, and all of them are stunning. One of the drooping girls is smiling, her cherry lips are about to move, and her eyes are flowing, which is even more beautiful.

Zhu Sheng has been paying attention to him for a long time, but he doesn't feel that he is swaying and thinking about it. Suddenly, his body floated like clouds and fog, and unconsciously flew to the wall and got into the picture.

Looking intently, I saw that there was a magnificent hall, and the attic was heavy and solemn. An old monk in the hall sat on the futon and listened to a lot of people. At a glance, he didn't know that there were hundreds of thousands. Zhu Sheng was also mixed with the crowd and was demented.

After a while, I suddenly felt that the corners of my clothes were gently pulled. Looking back, a beautiful woman in front of me was smiling sweetly at herself, not someone else, but the flower girl in the picture.

The girl was still shy to say what she wanted to say. Suddenly, she smiled gently, walked and walked away.

This smile only hooked away Zhu Sheng's three souls and seven souls. He immediately chased after him without thinking. Through several corridors, he gradually walked to the front of a hut. Although Zhu Sheng had evil thoughts, he did not dare to act rashly. He stopped in front of the door and had no idea for a moment.

When the girl saw Zhu Sheng hesitating, she pinched a flower with her fingertips and waved her hand from afar, meaning, "What are you waiting for?" Come here quickly."

Zhu Sheng was in love and was in full bloom. He followed the girl and walked into the room.

The room is clean, with a wooden bed and a soft pillow, emitting a faint fragrance from time to time. The girl went to the bed and sat down, looking at Zhu Sheng without saying anything, but just smiling, her eyes were like water and full of spring.

A beautiful woman is like jade, and Zhu Sheng only feels desire. Burning body, lonely man and woman, how can you be polite? Immediately hugged the woman in his arms, touched and scratched her, and was careless and frivolous.

The girl did not resist. The two of them came and went together. In an instant, they spent Wushan together. After a cloud and rain, they didn't know what to do.

After that, the girl told Zhu Sheng, "Stay here, don't move around, and don't make a sound. I'll come to see you again in the evening." He closed the door and said goodbye.

It was night, and the girl really came to the appointment again. The two of them were lingering, not to talk about it.

In such two or three days, every day is happy, and things can't help but be leaked. Many of the girl companions are aware of it. They all went to the house to search and just grabbed Zhu Sheng.

The adultery was exposed, Zhu Sheng looked embarrassed, and the girl was also full of shame.

The fairies joked, "Intention, our good sister has changed from a girl to a young woman. Maybe we have children. Well, my sister has become a wife, and her hairstyle has to be changed.

After saying that, the female companions couldn't help but say that they combed the girl's buns, inserted hairpins, and put on earrings. The girl was at the mercy of her companions and did not dare to speak, but her face turned even more red.

After a while of busy work, a woman said, "Sisters, don't stand here in the way. The couple is newly married, so don't delay them from doing business. Otherwise, someone will be angry. The women laughed and dispersed.

After everyone left, Zhu Sheng saw that the girl had changed her hairstyle. Originally, her hair hung her shoulders. At this moment, the bun was towering, adding a little mature charm. He couldn't help but feel itching. He looked around and no one, and his desire flooded again. He reached out to untie the girl's belt and was ecstatic for the second time.

In the comfort, I suddenly heard the sound of boots, the chain sonorous, and then there was a mess and noise, mixed with shouting and scolding, and the noise kept ringing.

The girl was shocked and peeped under the window with the scholar. She saw a golden armored messenger with a black face, chain, a latte hammer, angry, surrounded by fairies, and looked afraid.

The messenger shouted and asked, "Have you arrived?"

The fairies replied, "It's all here."

The messenger said, "I haven't been here for a long time. Have you hidden a man from the mortal world? Be sure to be honest, so as not to ask for trouble.

All the women said, "This is absolutely not the case."

The messenger didn't believe it and looked around, as if he was going to get up and search. The girl was terruffened, and her face was ashes. She quickly told Zhu Sheng, "Hide under the bed quickly." As he spoke, he walked to the window, opened the window, and jumped out.

Zhu Shengyi hid under the bed, held his breath and did not dare to move.

Suddenly, the sound of leather boots kicked, and the messenger had already entered the room, turned over the boxes and cabinets, and searched randomly. Zhu Sheng was frightened and did not dare to breathe lightly. Fortunately, the messenger did not search carefully. He hurried around and then left. Zhu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and a hanging heart finally put down.

Listening attentively, the noise outside the house was still the same, and the conversation was endless. Zhu Sheng stayed under the bed for a long time. His knees were paralyzed, the cicadas in his ears, and his eyes were burning. He was very uncomfortable, but he did not dare to move, so he had to wait hard and wait for the girl to return.

After a long time, Zhu Sheng was dizzy and his memory was blurred. He forgot where he came from.

At that time, Meng Longtan was watching the murals in the temple, and he didn't see his companions in a blink of an eye. He hurriedly asked the old monk, "Where did Brother Zhu go?"

The old monk smiled and said, "Zhu Tanyue went to listen to Buddhism."

Meng Longtan asked, "Where can I listen to Buddhism?"

The old monk smiled and said, "It's not far away." While talking, he pointed to the wall and shouted, "Lord Zhu, why haven't you been back for a long time?" Before the words fell, a portrait of Zhu Sheng appeared on the wall, listening in the ear, as if he had heard something.

The old monk shouted again, "Come back quickly. My companion has been waiting for a long time."

Before he finished his words, Zhu Sheng fell to the ground from the wall. He was still in shock. His face was like wood, and his shape was very awkward.

Meng Longtan was terrled and hurried to ask why.

It turned out that Zhu Sheng was hiding under the bed when he suddenly heard the old monk calling. His voice was like thunder. He hurried to the door to listen. Somehow, he returned to the temple in a blink of an eye.

The old monk smiled and said, his fingers were murals, and the direction of his fingertips happened to fall on the girl. Zhu Sheng looked closely at the monk's gesture and was suddenly frightened: the woman in the painting was originally a drooping young man, but now she has become a young woman with a high bun, which is exactly the same as what she saw in the room. He was surprised and confused. He hurriedly knelt down and asked the old monk for advice.

The old monk smiled and said, "The illusion is born from the heart. How can the poor road be solved!"

When Zhu Sheng heard the words, he didn't understand anything. Seeing that the old monk was mysterious, he couldn't help but be angry and full of depression. Meng Longtan was also puzzled and didn't know what the reason was. He shook his head, reached out to help Zhu Sheng, and stepped out of the stone.
