Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 149 Rain Money

A scholar in Binzhou was reading at home. Suddenly, he heard a knock on the door. When he opened it, he saw an old man in front of him with a simple appearance. Please enter the house, and the two exchanged names. The old man said, "The surname is Hu, and the name is Yangzhen. It was originally a fox fairy. I've heard that the prince is elegant for a long time, and I hope to get along with him day and night.

It's not strange that the scholar is open-range. The two talked about poetry, commented on the past and the present, and got along well with each other. The old man is eloquent, quick-witted, and his tongue is full of flowers. Sometimes he talks about the history and principles, which is profound and surprising. The scholar admired him very much and stayed for a long time.

One day, the scholar begged the old man: "You and I have a good relationship. Thank you for your wrong love. Thank you very much. But next time, I'm so poor that the fox fairy can get property thousands of miles away. Can you help me get some silver flowers? The old man was silent and smiled for a long time and said, "This is easy, but it needs to be cited by a few copper coins." Xiucai took out more than ten copper coins in his arms. The two entered a secret room. The old man stepped on the spell and recited a spell. Suddenly, thousands of copper coins fell from the sky, as dense as a sudden rain, and there was a sound on the ground.

The copper money on the ground piled up like a mountain, drowning the knees, pulling up, and drowning the ankles in a blink of an eye. A secret room of several feet, three or four feet deep. The old man looked at the scholar and asked, "Are you satisfied?" Xiucai said, "That's enough." The old man waved his sleeves, and the copper coin stopped abruptly and no longer landed.

The two walked out of the house hand in hand and closed the doors and windows. The scholar was secretly happy in his heart, "I got rich overnight and got rich this time." In an instant, the scholar entered the house to withdraw money, and the wealth on the ground was wiped out, but more than a dozen copper coins were still there.

The scholar was disappointed. He was angry with the old man and scolded, "Old man, how can you play tricks on people?" The old man said angrily, "I have intercourse with your words, and I have never thought of being a thief. The prince is obsessed with money, and he is only suitable for being with Liang Shangjunzi. It's hard for me to obey. I'll leave. Go away with your sleeves.
