Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 38 Wang Lan

Wang Lan, Lijin County, died of a violent illness. His soul came to hell. The king of hell surveyed the life and death book and found that Wang Lanyang's life was not over. It was the little ghost who caught the wrong person and hurriedly ordered him to send him back to live.

The kid did not dare to neglect, but when he returned to Yangjian, Wang Lan's body had rotted. The ghost pawn was worried about the king of hell and discussed with Wang Lan, "It's hard to be a ghost, and if a ghost becomes an immortal, he will be happy. I asked my husband to be a ghost fairy and be happy. Why do you have to be a man? Wang Lan thought to himself, "The body is gone. If you can't be a human, it's not impossible to be a ghost fairy." So he nodded.

The ghost said, "There is a fox demon not far from here, which has been cultivated into a golden elixir. I went to steal the golden elixir and give it to my husband to take. Since then, my soul has not dissipated and will last forever. Across the world, do whatever you want, sir, would you like it?"

Wang Lan was overjoyed and said hurriedly, "Yes, yes."

The ghost pawn led the way to a house, a high-rise elegant room, and there was no one. A fox under the moonlight looked up at the sky and exhaled slowly. A golden elixir flew out of its mouth and rose into the air, spinning constantly, absorbing the essence of the moon. Then the fox took a breath, and Jin Dan swallowed his mouth again. He breathed back and forth like this. Jin Dan rose and fell, flying up and down.

The ghost pawn peeped and got the opportunity. When the fox spit out the golden elixir, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed it in his hand, and ordered Wang Lan to open her mouth and stuff the golden elixir into his stomach.

The golden elixir was taken away, and the fox was shocked and angry, but he didn't want to be a ghost opponent and left angrily.

Wang Lan also separated from the ghost pawn and returned home. When his wife's family met, he was so scared that he fled. Wang Lan told each other the truth, and the people gradually gathered together and were no longer afraid.

After that, Wang Lan lived at home and ate and lived as usual. A friend Zhang came to visit when he heard the news. After a greeting, Wang Lan said to Zhang Sheng, "Brother Zhang and I have always been poor. Now I am pregnant with strange skills. If I travel around, I will get rich easily. Would you like to go out with me?

Zhang Shengwei only agreed. Wang Lan added, "I am now a ghost fairy. I have extraordinary magical powers. I don't need medicine to cure diseases, and I can know the past and the future, but there are different people and ghosts. If I appear rashly, I'm afraid of scaring ordinary mortals. I want to borrow Brother Zhang's body, okay?"

Zhang Sheng hesitated and said, "You mean: ghost possession? Is there any harm?"

Wang Lan said, "Don't worry, it's absolutely not harmful to your health."

Zhang Sheng thought about it sideways and agreed.

The two went on a long journey. On this day, they came to the border of Shanxi and heard the words of the people: There was a rich man here, and his beloved daughter suddenly became sick and fell into a coma. He specially asked for medical treatment everywhere and made a promise that he could cure his daughter's strange disease, and he was willing to give it to him with thousands of money.

Wang Lan quietly said to Zhang Sheng, "I am good at curing all diseases, and I can visit the rich man's house."

Zhang Sheng nodded, went to the rich man's mansion, and entered the boudoir. He saw the rich man's daughter fainting in bed. She didn't know anything about it. She was pulled and touched, but there was no response.

Wang Lan whispered, "This woman's soul has been hooked. I'll find it now. You can adapt to the situation." After saying that, a breeze blew in the room. Zhang Sheng knew Du Ming and that Wang Lan had left. He said to the rich man, "Although Qianjin's condition is critical, he can still be saved."

The rich man asked, "What kind of medicinal herbs should I use? I told my servants to prepare them."

Zhang Sheng smiled and said, "There is no need to take medicine. The daughter is not sick, but the soul is out of her body. I have secretly sent my men to look for it. Let's go to the hall for a cup of tea. How about we? The rich man did not dare to refuse and led Zhang Sheng to the hall to rest and send fragrant tea.

An hour later, Wang Lan successfully found the woman's soul, stuffed it into her body, and reported it to Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng got up when he heard the words and said to the rich man, "My daughter's condition has been cured. Please come into the house with me to check."

When she came to the house, the girl was still asleep. The rich man asked, "Didn't you say that my daughter was well? Why is she still in a coma?"

Zhang Sheng said, "Don't worry, it has been in a coma for too long time. Although the soul has returned to its place, the blood has not yet flowed. You can massage it gently with your hands. In a moment, you will wake up.

The rich man massaged his daughter's palm according to his words. He only heard a bang, and the girl opened her eyes. The rich man cried with joy and asked his daughter what had happened. The girl recalled, "I was playing in the back garden, but suddenly a teenager appeared somewhere, riding a steed, holding a slingshot, and followed by many men. Because of the difference between men and women, the daughter did not dare to get along with strangers. She was about to go back to the house. Unexpectedly, the teenager was very rude and blocked his daughter's way. He couldn't help but put the slingshot into my hand and said, 'Little girl, I'll teach you how to play the slingshot?' I shook my head and said, 'I don't know you, so I don't play with you.' The teenager was annoyed. He grabbed me, put me on the saddle, and laughed and said, "Young master, please slingshot. That's looking up to you. What's the shame?' With that, he ran around and took his daughter to a deep mountain. The daughter struggled hard, and the teenager was angry and pushed me to the ground. I wanted to go home, but I didn't know the way. At this time, a young scholar appeared out of thin air, grabbed his daughter's arm, ran all the way, and returned home in a blink of an eye. He just felt like a nightmare in a trance.

When the rich man heard this, he thought it was magical and incredible. He couldn't help but believe Zhang Sheng's words. He quickly took out a thousand taels of gold gift and held a banquet to thank him.

After the banquet, Zhang Sheng left. On this day, when I came to a suburb, I met a fellow villager on the road. The man's name was He Cai. He was both an alcoholic and a gambler. He did not do his job and soon lost his family's wealth. At present, he is as poor as a begling. I secretly heard that Zhang Sheng had a strange skill and made a lot of money, so he came here specially.

Wang Lan whispered to Zhang Sheng, "He Cai's character is not good, and he can't make friends deeply. Just give him hundreds of taels of silver and send him to walk.

Zhang Sheng nodded in favor and said to He Cai, "Brother He, I know the purpose of your trip is nothing more than asking for treasure. But when you eat, drink and gamble, your daily expenses are bottomless, and no amount of money can't be filled. If you are willing to reform, I will give you a hundred taels of gold. Otherwise, you can go."

He Cai hurriedly said, "I'm willing to change, I'm willing to change."

When Zhang Sheng heard the words, he took out a hundred taels of gold to congratulate him.

He Cai got such a huge amount of money and left happily. Since then, he has spent a lot of money. When the county government official heard the news, he thought to himself, "He Cai used to be very poor, but now he is hiding a huge wealth. He probably stole it." So He Cai was arrested and sent to prison, severely tortured. He Cai has been fooling around all day long. His body has been hollowed out for a long time. After several punishments, he was beaten to death.

After He Cai's death, he couldn't forget Zhang Sheng. He looked around and finally found his fellow villagers in an abandoned beacon. Because He Cai had become a ghost, he could naturally see Wang Lan.

One person and two ghosts sat together and drank. He Cai was as drunk as mud, shouted, and went crazy. When Lord Yushi passed by, he heard the sound and thought, "The beacon is a military place. Who is making a noise here?" He was ordered to check around and arrest and arrest Zhang Sheng. After an interrogation, Zhang Sheng confessed truthfully.

Yu Shi was furious and thought, "People and ghosts have different ways. This life is actually called a brother with evil spirits. It's simply unconformal. When I report to God, let's see how God punishes it."

So he burned the ultimatum and reported it to the gods. When he fell asleep in the evening, a golden armored fairy came down to dream and said to the imperial historian, "Wang Lan died innocently. At this moment, he has become a ghost fairy. His medical skills are magical, his hands are wonderful and kind-hearted. He has done many good deeds. The Jade Emperor personally appointed him as a Qing Dao. He can't be rude, and Zhang Sheng is not at fault and should be forgiven. As for He Cai, his evil conduct has been assigned to Tiewei Mountain as a coolie. You don't have to worry about it.

Yu Shi kept in mind one by one. When he woke up, Zhang Sheng was about to be acquitted.

Zhang Sheng returned to his hometown, and there were still 900 taels of gold left on his body. He added five to two, half of which was left by himself and half given to Wang Lan's wife and children. Since then, the Zhang Wang family has lived a rich life, and their descendants will be rich and noble.
