Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 253 To the direction

Xiangjiao, the word Chudan, Taiyuan. My brother's name is Xiang Sheng, and the two have a deep relationship. Xiang Sheng was infatuated with the prostitute Persia, made an alliance with her, and always wanted to marry Persia, but the mother-in-law asked too much and failed to do so. A few times, the mother-in-law decided to dismiss Persia with good intentions.

There is a son of Zhuang, who has always admired the beauty of Persia. He discussed with the mother of the mame and was dedicated to marrying Persia as a concubine. Persia said to the mother, "Mom wants to leave the brothel, which is a good thing. But if you marry me to Mr. Zhuang, my daughter will die. If my mother still wants to make money, she can marry me to Mr. Xiang. He won't treat you badly. The mother nodded and agreed to discuss the matter with Xiang Sheng. Xiang Sheng happened to be widowed and lived alone. He was overjoyed to hear the words. He poured out everything in his family and collected dozens of taels of silver to redeem for Persia.

When Mr. Zhuang heard the news, he was angry and took love with Sheng and scolded him loudly. Xiang Sheng was not convinced and retorted. Mr. Zhuang was so angry that he ordered his domestic slaves to beat Xiang Sheng with a random stick and beat him to death. The bad news came, and Xiang Yu was heartbroken and angry. He immediately wrote the paper and went to the county government to complain about his grievances. The county magistrate collected bribes from Mr. Zhuang, condoned and shielded the criminals, which was difficult to reason. In order to avenge his brother, he held a sharp blade and ambushed next to the official road every day, preparing to assassinate Zhuang.

After a long time, the matter leaked, Mr. Zhuang was on high alert, and invited the warrior Jiao Tong from Fenzhou to guard him closely. Jiao Tong is proficient in martial arts and excellent archery. With his close defense, it is difficult to get close to him. Even so, Xiang Hao still did not give up and still squatted on the roadside.

On this day, in the ambush in the grass, suddenly there was a rainstorm, and the whole body was soaked, and the cold was unbearable. Then the strong wind blew, and the hail fell like beans. Xiangjia's lips trembled, his body lost consciousness, and he fainted.

In a daze, the soul came out of the body and came to the mountain shrine. A Taoist priest in the ancestral temple is making a fire on the ground. The Taoist priest once went out to beg and received favors from him, so he recognized him. Seeing that Xiangjiao's clothes were all wet, he took off his robe and said, "Change it first."

Xiang Tao put on the Taoist robe, and suddenly his skin was itchy and grew a lot of long hair. He looked down and turned into a tiger. Looking at the Taoist priest again, he has already disappeared. Xiang Yu hated it in his heart, but he thought about it: since he had turned into a tiger, Zhuang naturally couldn't recognize it. Just in time to ambush the roadside and take the opportunity to take revenge.

Thinking of this, I rushed down the mountain and saw my body fall in the grass. Only then did I understand that I was dead. I was afraid that birds and beasts would destroy the body and wait for a moment. The next day, Mr. Zhuang passed by the roadside and jumped up. He put his front paws out and swept Zhuang down to the ground. Then he opened his mouth and bit off Zhuang's head and swallowed it into his stomach.

Jiao Tong was shocked when he saw the situation. He bent his bow and took an arrow. An arrow hit the tiger's abdomen. He wailed and fell to the ground and died. After Xiang Yu's death, the soul flew out, re-integrated with the body, recovered from death, and returned home drowsily. His family came forward to ask why he didn't return all night. Xiang Yu hasn't recovered yet, and he can't speak. After a while, someone came to report that Mr. Zhuang was eaten by a tiger.

The family was overjoyed when they heard the words, but Xiang Tao was unmoved and said lightly, "The tiger is me." Let's briefly talk about the whole story. This matter spread everywhere. Zhuang's son thought that his father's death was too miserable, so he sued Xiang Yu to the government. The county magistrate refused to accept it because the case was too absurd and there was no evidence.
