Chapter 27 Magic

Yu Gong, when he was young, he was chivalrous and righteous, proficient in boxing and swords, and his strength was infinite. He could raise his feet and leak the pot, and the whirlwind dance was not a problem. During the reign of Chongzhen, Yu Gong went to the Kyoto temple to have a test, and the servant fell ill in bed, secretly worried. I heard that there was an old fortune-tome on the market, and his divination was effective, so I went to visit him.

When he came to the gossip stall, he had not yet opened his mouth. The old man had guessed, "Does the prince want to ask the servant about his condition?" Yu Gong was terrled and nodded to admit it. The old man said, "The servant is harmless, but he is a little dangerous."

After saying that, he took a hexagram for the public test and said, "The prince should die in three days."

Yu Gong smiled and said, "There is life and death. What are you afraid of?"

The old man said, "I can relieve my son's worries, but I need ten taels of gold as a reward."

Yu Gong laughed without saying a word and turned around. The old man shouted, "Your Excellency is stingy with tips. Don't regret it!"

When I got home, on the third day in a blink of an eye, I sat in the hostel in Gongduan and watched the change all day long. At night, the prince picked up the lamp and held the sword and sat until the night. There was no movement, and he was about to go to bed. Suddenly, I heard the creaking on the window and stared at it. I saw a four-inch little man turning over the window with a spear in his hand and jumping down to the ground. His body soared and gradually being on the same height as ordinary people.

Yu Gong picked up his sword and stabbed, and he didn't hit it. The next person suddenly became smaller, looking for the cracks in the window on all sides, intending to escape. Yu Gong rushed up with an arrow, and the long sword fell down. The villain fell down and cut his waist in two. Looking at it under the candlelight, it was a paper man.

After a while, another thing came in through the window, ferocious like a ghost. His feet fell to the ground, and he waved his sword and cut it in half from head to foot. The sword in the monster, the corpse does not die for a while, and it can still squirm. Fearing his resurrection, Yu Gong quickly added a few swords. The swords and swords were all in the middle, and the sound was strange, not like that of human skin. After a slight examination, it was a mud puppet, broken piece by piece.

Strange things happen frequently. Yu Gong was vigilant and did not dare to fall asleep. He sat under the window and waited for a little spirit. For a long time, the sound of gasping outside the window was like a cow. A monster pushed the window lattice, and the wall of the room vibrated and was about to fall. Yu Gong was worried about the collapse of the house and thought, "Where did the evil come from?" I'll have it for a while when I get out of the house.

Thinking of this, I pushed the door and ran out. I saw a giant ghost in the courtyard, as high as eaves, black as coal, yellow in his eyes, upper body **, bare feet, bow in his hand, and arrows around his waist.

When the giant ghost saw Yu Gong, without saying a word, he bent his bow and shot an arrow, and took his throat with an arrow. Duke Yu waved his sword to resist, and his arrow fell to the ground. When he came forward to challenge, the evil spirit shot another arrow and dodged sideways. The arrow was like electricity. He inserted it into the brick wall with a bang and went straight into the handle.

The giant ghost couldn't hit the number, and he was furious. He abandoned his bow and drew his knife, waved like the wind, and hit the top of the male head. Yu Gongyi was not afraid. He walked up and walked between the legs of the evil spirit. The sword came out like a tide. A sword stabbed the evil spirit's ankle, and the sound was like hitting an iron, buzzing.

The evil spirit was hit, roared like thunder, and the knife cut angrily. He hit a hard stone, and the stone broke like powder.

In an instant, one person and one ghost fought for life and death, and the fight was insoluble. Suddenly, the evil spirit cut off the corner of Yu's clothes with a knife. Yu Gong was furious. His hand raised his sword and fell, stabbed the devil's left side. The evil spirit screamed and fell to the ground and died. Looking closer, it's not a devil. It's just a puppet, as tall as a human, with a bow and arrow wrapped around his waist and a ferocious face. Strike it with a sword, and the blood comes out.

Yu Gong suddenly realized that "Whether it is a villain or a mud puppet, they are all sent by the old fortune-tender, waiting for the opportunity to harm people and kill, so as to prove that he is good at divination and take the opportunity to accumulate wealth. Well, I can't forgive him."

At dawn the next day, Yu Gong rushed to the gossip stall to find the old man to settle accounts. The old man saw it from afar and hurriedly used the invisibility method to dodge. Yu Gong searched on all sides, but no one was seen. It was clear in his heart that he found a basin of dog blood and splashed with blood. The old man's magic was broken and he immediately appeared. He was stained with blood and looked embarrassed. He looked like a human and a ghost.

Yu Gong was rude. He tied the old man's hands behind his back and sent him to the government. After some interrogation, the old man got the punishment he deserved: be decisive.
