Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 103 Bai Yuyu

Wu Yun, also known as Qing'an, became famous at a young age. When Ge Taishi saw his article, every time he praised it, he asked someone to invite him to enter the house for a chat. He took the opportunity to observe it and was very satisfied. He said, "The prince is so talented, and he should not be poor for a long time. I have a daughter who is not married yet. If the prince studies hard and he will get fame every day, he will give his daughter to you.

Wu Yun has heard for a long time that the daughter of Taishi's face is extremely beautiful. She is confident that she is the first in the imperial examination, and it is as easy as a palm. After the trial in the cooked village, she actually lost her name. Send someone to Taishi and say, "In my ability, I will only seek wealth sooner or later. Please wait for three years. If I still don't pass the exam at that time, I will remarry it again." Since then, I have buried a pile of books and studied hard.

This night, the moon was as bright as a mirror. Wu Yun was studying at home. A scholar came to visit, with a white face and short beard, a thin waist and long hands. When Wu Yun asked his origin, Xiucai said that his surname was Bai and his name was Yu Yu. The two talked, Bai Yuyu's words were refined, and their hearts were comfortable. Wu Yun was so happy that he stayed overnight.

The next day, at dawn, Bai Yuyu said goodbye and left. Wu Yun was reluctant to leave and told him to come back when he was free. He was eager. Bai Yuyu was quite moved and said, "I am sorry for Brother Wu's wrong love. If I don't give up, I will move in with you." Wu Yun nodded repeatedly, and the two made an appointment.

On the day of the move, an old man sent cooking utensils first. Bai Yuyu also came on a steed. Wu Yun vacated an empty room for him to live in. Bai Yuyu happily obeyed and handed over the white horse to the old man and sent him back.

Since then, the two have been together day and night, enjoying themselves. Bai Yuyu likes reading, and the books she collects are very strange, which are very different from the Four Books and Five Classics. Wu Yun was surprised and asked the reason. Bai Yuyu smiled and said, "People have their own aspirations. I'm not greedy for fame."

This night, Bai Yuyu invited Wu Yun to drink together and took out a book to give it to him. What was contained in the book was the art of breathing and spitting. Wu Yun also couldn't figure it out for a while. He took a look at it hastily and didn't pay attention to it. A few days later, Bai Yuyu said, "The book I gave you is the secret method of "Huang Ting" and the secret method of cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal." Wu Yun smiled and said, "I don't want to be here, and those who seek immortals must cut off their love. All thoughts are silent. I can't do it." Bai Yuyu asked, "Why is this?" Wu Yun said, "I want to pass on the family from generation to generation." Bai Yuyu asked, "Why haven't you married for a long time?" Wu Yun smiled and said, "I have a disease, and I am lustful." Bai Yuyu also smiled and said, "Wang, please don't have a good sex." What can make Brother Wu like must be the beauty of the world, but I don't know which girl it is? Wu Yun said, "The daughter of Ge Taishi." Bai Yuyu asked, "Is she really beautiful?"

Wu Yun said, "It's famous far and wide, and everyone says so." Bai Yuyu smiled and said nothing when she heard the words.

The next morning, Bai Yuyu suddenly packed some luggage and was ready to leave. Wu Yun was sad and said goodbye. Bai Yuyu ordered Tong'er to go first with his bag on his back, looking at Wu Yun and falling in love with each other. A green cicada flew out of the window and docked at the wooden table. Bai Yuyu said goodbye and said, "The car is coming, and we will be separated from now on. If you miss me, there is a bed in the room, sweep the bed and lie down. I will see you again.

Wu Yunfang wanted to ask again. Bai Yuyu's body turned and shrank like a finger in an instant, spanning. Sit on the back of the cicada. The green cicada fluttered its wings, went through the window, and disappeared into the white clouds. Wu Yun suddenly realized that he understood that Yuyu was not very human. He was stunned for a long time and was sad.

After a few days, the drizzle continued. Wu Yun missed his old friend. He walked into Bai Yuyu's bedroom and looked at his bed, which was covered with mouse claw marks. He was sad in his heart, swept away the dirt, and slept on the bed. Not many times later, when I saw the Bai family's children coming to treat, I happily went to the appointment. The two came out of the window, and there were a lot of birds on the sycamore tree. Tong'er caught one casually and said, "It's hard to walk at night. You can ride a bird." Wu Yun said, "The bird is so small, how can you sit?" Tong'er smiled and said, "Let's have a try." Wu Yun hesitated to step on the bird's back, which was very spacious. Tong'er sat behind him, and the bird and the two of them still had a lot of room.

Only a sudden sound was heard, and the birds soared in the air. Not long after, at a Zhumen, Tong'er jumped to the ground, and Wu Yun jumped down. He asked, "Where is this?" Tong'er said, "This is also the gate of heaven." There was a giant tiger crouching by the door, and Wu Yun was frightened. Tong'er smiled and said, "Don't be afraid." Escort him to the entrance. The two walked around, and the scenery was picturesque, which was very different from the mortal world.

Tong'er led him to the Guanghan Palace. In the palace, the crystal was used as a stone step, and he walked on the stairs as if he were in the mirror. There are two osmanthus trees planted in the hall, and the giant trees are towering in the sky, so that several people can hug them. The flowers are flowing with the wind, and the fragrance is fragrant. The pavilions are staggered, and they are all red windows. Sometimes there are beautiful people coming in and out, ice muscles and jade bones, gorgeous and unparalleled. Tong'er said, "The beauty in the Queen Mother's Palace is more beautiful."

Wu Yun was worried that his master had been waiting for a long time and had no time to linger. He crossed the palace with Tong'er and came to a house. Bai Yuyu waited outside the door for a long time. The two shook hands and entered the house. There was clear water and white sand outside the eaves, trickling, and the carved fence was made of jade, which was very luxurious.

Entering the hall and sitting down, a maid delivered fragrant tea. Bai Yuyu ordered the maidservants to serve them carefully, and the four beauties saluted and stood around. As soon as Wu Yun found that his back was itchy, a beautiful man reached out and scratched for him. His fingers were slender and massaged with his flesh, which made him feel comfortable.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wu Yun was slightly drunk, and her lust could not be restrained. She smiled at Gu Liren and flirted with her. The beauties avoided with a smile. Bai Yuyu ordered the maidservant to sing the song and wine. A maidservant in red filled the wine for the host and guest, and then danced during the banquet and turned to a clear song. The beauties played the flute and played the piano. After singing a song, a maidservant in green gently opened her red lips and played and sang while drinking. The remaining two maidservants, one in purple and one in white, ate and laughed, pushed each other and refused to come forward. Bai Yuyu ordered the two of them to drink wine and sing music. The maidservant in purple came to take the cup and poured wine for Wu Yun. Wu Yun took the opportunity to touch the palm of her hand. The woman in purple smiled and missed, and the wine glass fell to the ground and fell to pieces. Bai Yuyu scolded, "Why are you so careless?" The woman in purple picked up the broken cup with a smile and lowered her head and whispered, "It's as cold as a ghost's hand, strong to catch people's arms."

Bai Yuyu laughed when she heard the words and punished the woman in purple to sing and dance. After the dance, the maidservant in white came forward to drink again. Wu Yun shook her head and said, "I'm drunk. I can't drink anymore." The woman in white looked unhappy, and Wu Yun couldn't do it, so he had to drink another cup.

Wu Yun looked at the four women with wine, and the wind was elegant, all of which were stunning. He smiled and said to the master, "The beauty in the world is rare. Can you make me really ecstasy?" Bai Yuyu smiled and said, "Didn't you mean to be a middle-in? How can I get into the eyes of the law with a despicable face?"

Wu Yun said, "I only know today that I have a shallow knowledge. Can the beauty in the sky be compared with the mortal world?" Bai Yuyu smiled and said, "Okay, whichever one do you like, you can choose whatever you want." Wu Yun looked at the four beautiful people, each with their own strengths, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

Bai Yuyu pointed to the woman in purple and said, "If you have touched the palm of your hand, just choose her." Wu Yun nodded and agreed, lingering with the purple clothes, comforting inexplicably. After that, Wu Yun asked for a gift, and the woman took off the gold bracelet to send it. Suddenly, the child came in from the outside and said, "Xianfan's unique road, it's time for the prince to leave." When the woman heard the words, she hurried to escape.

Wu Yun asked, "Where's Brother Bai?" Tong'er said, "He went up to court and told me to send my son home." Wu Yun was obedient. The two of them turned back along the original road and came to Tianmen. They looked back at Tong'er and disappeared. The giant tiger roared in front of the door, and Wu Yun fled in shock. A bottomless abyss in front of him stood in the way. He couldn't think about it, and his body had fallen.

I was shocked and woke up, but it was Nanke's dream. At dawn outside the window, he got up in his clothes, and there was a sound of something falling to the ground. He stared at it. It was the gold bracelet that was surprised in his heart.

Since then, Wu Yun has been disheartened and no longer coveted for fame. Every time she wants to go out to learn Taoism and visit Chisongzi, but she can't let go of the continuation of incense. After more than ten months, I took a good nap one day. In my dream, I saw a woman in purple coming from the outside, holding the baby in her arms and said, "This gentleman's flesh and blood, it is difficult to keep this thing in the sky. Send it to the prince to raise." Wu Yun first met a beautiful woman and wanted to make friends with her. Huan, the woman did not object and said, "The last time Huan was good, it was for He Yu, and this time it was for Yongjue. This is the reason for the hundred-year-old couple. If you have the will to learn Taoism, on the day of becoming an immortal, there may be a period of goodbye. The two were extremely lingering. After that, the woman in purple drifted away. Wu Yun also woke up from a dream and found that the baby was sleeping in the bedding and happily carried it into his mother's bedroom. His mother was overjoyed and hired a wet nurse to feed the baby and named him Mengxian.

Wu Yun is already worried. He sent someone to tell Ge Taishi and said in his words: I will want to retire. Please don't choose a good match. Taishi refused. Wu Yun was stubborn. Taishi had no choice but to discuss it with her daughter. Miss Ge said, "People far and near, no one knows that her daughter has been betrothed to Mr. Wu. Today's remarriage is for transmutation. I can't do this."

Wu Yun knew about this and sighed, "I not only didn't mean to get a reputation, but also prepared to cut off the relationship between men and women. Desire. The reason why I refused to enter the mountain is that my mother still needs to support me. Miss Ge said, "I won't marry my son in my life. The prince's family is poor, and I don't dislike it. It's a light meal, and it's sweet. If the prince goes to cultivate immortals, I will take care of your mother-in-law for you. Wu Yun was so grateful to hear this. He couldn't bear to refuse the Ge family's father and daughter again, and now agreed to get married.

On the day of marriage, Ge Taishi prepared her makeup and escorted her daughter to the door in a carriage. Miss Ge was gentle and kind, served her elders and obedient. The husband and wife helped each other and respected each other like guests. Two years later, Wu's mother died. Miss Ge went out to take care of the funeral and greeted the guests. The etiquette was thoughtful.

Wu Yun said, "If you get a wife like this, what does your husband want?" But I am determined to be immortal, and I will leave now. As the saying goes: one person gets the way, and the house rises. After I go, you can take more care of everything at home. Miss Ge faced the reality calmly, did not keep her husband, and let him go.

Since then, Miss Ge has made a living outside, trained orphans internally, and is in good order. Meng Xian gradually grew up and was extremely intelligent. He was raised at the age of 14 and entered Hanlin at the age of 15. Whenever the emperor praises him, he doesn't know his biological mother's surname, and only rewards Miss Ge. During the frost season of this year, Mengxian asked where her father was. Miss Ge told the truth. Mengxian heard the words and wanted to abandon the official to find her biological father. Miss Ge said, "Your father has been a monk for 15 years now. Maybe he has become an immortal. Where can he find it?"

Later, Mengxian was ordered to pay tribute to Nanyue. When he met a bandit on the way. When he was in a hurry, a man entered with a sword and repelled the bandits. Mengxian was grateful and gave him gold to thank him. The Taoist did not accept it. He took out a letter from his arms and told him, "I have an old friend who is from the same hometown as an adult. This Please forward the letter to her for me. Meng Xian asked, "What's her name?" The Taoist priest said, "Wang Lin." Wang Lin, the Lin character is split and transformed.

Meng Xian said, "I remember that there is no Wang Lin in the village." The Taoist priest said, "The villagers in the grass field have a low status. Maybe adults don't recognize them." Turning around and about to leave, he took out a gold bracelet and said, "This is the thing of the boudoir. It's useless for Taoist people to stay with him. Please give it to the deceased for me." Meng Xian agreed, looking at the gold bracelet, the exquisite carving, and secretly praised it.

Mengxian returned home and showed the bracelet to her mother for appreciation. Miss Ge loved it very much. The skillful craftsman made another one according to the style. No matter how careful he was, it was not as exquisite as the original. There is no Wang Linqi in the village. Mengxian opened the letter privately and wrote: "Three years of Luanfeng, split the heavens; bury the mother and her son, and rely on Lai Qingxian. If you can't repay the virtue, take a pill of medicine; if you eat it, you can become an immortal. At the end of the letter, there are small words "Mrs. Lin Niang's makeup."

Meng Xian thought, "Who is Lin Niang?" It was difficult to solve. I took the letter and entered the room and asked my mother for advice. Miss Ge held the book and cried and said, "This is your father's letter. Lin Niang is my small name." Mengxian suddenly realized that he remembered that the father and son had met, but they had never met each other and regretted it. Then he took out the gold bracelet and handed it to her mother. Miss Ge said, "This is a relic of your biological mother's purple clothes. When your father is at home, he often takes it out to play."

The two looked at the pill together, as big as soybeans. Meng Xian said happily, "My father has become an immortal. With this pill, he will live long." Miss Ge smiled and said nothing, carefully collected the pills, and did not swallow them immediately.

Soon after, Ge Taishi visited her grandson. Miss Ge took out a letter to her father to watch, and took the opportunity to donate pills to celebrate her birthday. The father and daughter cut the pills and ate them separately. In an instant, Ge Taishi was refreshed. Taishi is over 70 years old. He was originally old, but once he took the pills, he was light and healthy, and he walked like flying.

A year later, a fire house broke out in the county, and the flames did not go out all day long. Mengxian's family gathered in the courtyard and dared not sleep at night. Suddenly, the flames spread and quickly approached the corner of the wall. The whole family wandered and there was nothing they could do. At this moment, the gold bracelet on Miss Ge's arm flew out and quickly expanded to the size of several mu. Tuantuan covered the house like a moon halo. The mouth of the bracelet faces southeast, which can be seen in the calendar. Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

Suddenly, the flame came from the west. As soon as it touched the bracelet, it automatically withdrew, turned to the east, and went further and further in a blink of an eye. Miss Ge's mother and son were worried that the bracelet would be damaged by the fire. Suddenly, they saw the red light converging, and the bracelet fell silently.

The houses in the county were destroyed by fire, and the losses were as high as 10,000. The front and rear houses on the left and right were all turned into ashes. The Wu Mansion was safe and sound, but there was only a small attic in the southeast, which was nothing, which was not covered by the gold bracelet.

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, Miss Ge is over 50 years old, and her face is like a young girl. No matter how you look at it, she can't exceed 20.
