Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 32 Spiritual Officer

A Taoist priest in Chaotianguan has the art of sexual pleasure. An old man lives in the Taoist temple and has the same interests. The two become good friends.

For several years, every time there is a incense meeting and sacrifice to the gods, the old man will leave ten days in advance and wait until the sacrifice is finished before coming back.

The Taoist priest was puzzled and asked the reason. The old man said, "The two of us are in the same way. To tell you the truth, I am not a human, but a fox demon.

Every time there is a sacrificial meeting, the heavenly spiritual officials will go down to clear the turban. Things, I have no place to accommodate, so I have to escape first.

On the eve of this year's sacrifice, the old man disappeared as usual and did not return for a long time. The Taoist priest was secretly worried. After several months, the old man returned.

The Taoist priest hurriedly asked the reason, and the old man said, "Old friend, I almost didn't see you.

At the sacrificial meeting a while ago, I didn't escape in advance because I wanted to be lazy.

I only hid in the gutter to avoid disaster. Who ever wanted to be noticed by the spiritual officer and threatened to beat the old man with a whip. I was afraid for a moment and ran away. The spiritual official chased me all the way to the edge of the Yellow River, but refused to give up.

The old man was anxious. Seeing that there was a cesspit on the side of the road, he jumped in.

The spiritual official disliked the dirty smell of dung and water, so he was reluctant to leave.

When we waited for the spiritual officer to go far away, we dared to climb out of the cesspit. Our whole body was full of shit and urine, and we could no longer travel around the world, so we jumped into the Yellow River to wash the dirt, and then hid in the cave for more than a hundred days.

Today, I returned to the temple and said goodbye to you.

When leaving, there is a gift: The catastrophe is coming. This is not a place to settle down. Old friends should return to hiding as soon as possible.

After saying that, I took care of myself.

The Taoist priest obeyed the instructions of the fox demon and lived in seclusion from then on.

Soon after, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and the Ming Dynasty perished, that is, the change of Jiashen.
