Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 198 Changzhi Woman

Chen Huanyuan, from Changzhi County. There is a woman under her knee, intelligent and beautiful. On this day, a Taoist priest came to the door and met Miss Chen by chance. He looked at her sideways and left.

Since then, the Taoist priest has wandered around Chen's house every day. One time, a blind man happened to go out of Chen's house. The Taoist priest caught up with him and asked, "Where did you come from?"

The blind man said, "For the Chen family, fortune-telling." The Taoist priest said, "I heard that there is a young lady in the Chen family who is outstanding in appearance. I have a cousin who wants to propose marriage in Chen's house, but unfortunately I don't know Miss Chen's birthday." The blind man did not doubt and said, "Do you want to inquire about Miss Chen's birthday? This is easy." At this moment, telling the truth, the Taoist priest thanked him repeatedly and left.

A few days later, Miss Chen embroidered in her boudoir. Suddenly, she felt paralyzed at the bottom of her feet, and gradually spread to her thighs. Then it spread to her waist and abdomen and fainted to the ground. She woke up for a long time. She stood up from the ground and looked in a trance and wanted to tell her parents about her illness. As soon as she arrived at the door, she saw a vast expanse of outside, full of black water. A road in the water was as long as a line. Miss Chen was afraid, afraid and did not dare to go forward. After a while, the water waves flooded, and the threshold of the house was flooded by black water, but the road was still there.

There are few pedestrians on the road, and only one Taoist priest walks slowly. Miss Chen didn't have time to think about it. She thought that the Taoist priest was a fellow countryman, so she followed him and planned to ask him for directions. After walking for a few miles, I suddenly saw a house. When I stared at it, it turned out to be my home. He was terraffled and said to himself, "After running for so long, it turned out that I was still spinning in the village. Why am I so confused?" He happily opened the door, and his parents went out to farm and had not yet returned.

Miss Chen returned to her boudoir by herself, and the previously stabbed pair of embroidered shoes were still in **. After running around for a while, he was mentally exhausted and now sat by the bedside to rest. When the Taoist priest suddenly broke in, Miss Chen was shocked and turned around to escape. The Taoist priest grabbed her and pressed her on **. Miss Chen wanted to call for help, but her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak. The Taoist priest moved quickly, took out a sharp knife from his arms, cut open Miss Chen's chest, and took out his heart.

Miss Chen only felt that her soul was swaying and left her body. She looked around. This place is not Chen's house, but in the cliff in the wild. Seeing that the Taoist priest took out a wooden man, he dripped the blood of his heart on the wooden man, pinched his finger, and said a spell in his mouth. Miss Chen couldn't help it, and her soul was uncontrollable, and she gradually merged with the wooden man. I faintly heard the Taoist priest's cold advice: "Chen Moumou, since then, listen to my dispatch, and there must be no mistake." While talking, put away the wooden man at the same time.

Chen Huanhuai lost his daughter, and the whole family was anxious. They searched all the way to Niutouling. From the village population, they learned that there was a female corpse under the mountain, and her heart disappeared. Chen Huanhui went to check that the body was actually his daughter. He was so sad that the murder was about to be reported to the government.

The county magistrate sent his men to seize the mountain residents and tortured them severely. As a result, he found nothing. After thinking for a while, he decided to temporarily take the suspect in custody and slowly investigate.

The Taoist priest left the cliff, walked a few miles away, rested under a willow tree by the roadside, and ordered Miss Chen: "At present, assign you the first task and go to the county government to inquire about the case. Be careful about everything on this trip, and you can be invisible on the warm pavilion. If you see the county magistrate take out the official seal, run away immediately, remember, remember. It's time for you to set out and come back. When I came back a quarter of late, I pricked a needle in the wooden man's chest, which made you unbearable pain. If I was two quarter of an hour late, I would take two stitches. If I take three stitches in a row, I will definitely make you out of your soul and never be born.

When Miss Chen heard the words, her limbs trembled and drifted away. In an instant, he came to the court and obeyed the order of the Taoist priest. He lurked on the warm pavilion and looked from the window. Several villagers in the lobby knelt to the ground and had not been interrogated. The county magistrate took out the official seal and was preparing to stamp the official document. Miss Chen didn't have time to dodge, and the official seal had come out of the box. She only felt that her body was heavy and weak, which made the paper window cackle and smelled all over the house.

The county magistrate raised the official seal again. After raising it three times in a row, Miss Chen couldn't stand it anymore and fell to the ground with a bang. Everyone in the hall heard the sound, but no one was seen. The county magistrate got up and prayed, "If it's a wrongdoer, if you have something to say, I will tell you." Miss Chen choked forward and complained about the evil deeds of the Taoist priest, how to commit the crime, how to order herself to inquire about the news, one by one.

The county magistrate was furious and immediately sent his men to arrest the murderer. The yamen came under the willow tree. The Taoist priest was really here, caught him for interrogation, and immediately confessed. The county magistrate arrested the villagers by mistake and released them and asked Miss Chen, "What are you going to do now?" Miss Chen said, "I would rather follow you." The county magistrate said, "There is no place to live in the county government office. Miss, let's go home for the time being."

Miss Chen was silent and said for a long time, "The county government is my home, and I will go in." The county magistrate was puzzled and asked endlessly. There was silence around and no sound. He retreated from the hall and returned to his residence. His wife had just given birth to a baby girl.
