Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 208 Wu Qiuyue

Gaoyou Wangding, Zixian Lake, generous, powerful, and extensive. At the age of 18, he was not married, and his wife died before he passed the door. Wang Ding often travels far away and doesn't return for many years.

Wang Nai, the brother of Wang Ding, is a famous scholar in Jiangbei. The two brothers have a deep relationship. The elder brother often advises his younger brother not to go out and intends to marry a wife for him. Wang Ding didn't listen and took a boat to Zhenjiang alone to visit his old friends. It happened that my friend had something to do to go out, and Wang Ding didn't care, so he lived in a hotel. The inn is close to the Yangtze River, the river is vast, and you can have a panoramic view of the golden mountains.

The next day, a friend came and asked Wang Ding to enter the house, but Wang Ding refused. After living for half a month, I fell asleep at night and saw a girl, fourteen or fifteen years old, with a beautiful face. She went to bed with clouds and rain. When she woke up, she was left behind. Fine. Strange in my heart, I thought, "Maybe it's a coincidence. I had a spring dream occasionally."

Late the next day, I dreamed that the girl came for three or four days in a row. At night, I was so terrmented that I didn't dare to turn off the lights. Although I was in bed, I was vigilant. As soon as she closed her eyes, the girl really came again. She was being affectionate. Wang Ding woke up in shock. When she opened her eyes, the girl was as beautiful as a fairy, as if she was in her arms. Seeing Wang Ding wake up, the girl was very ashamed.

Wang Ding knows that the girl is inhuman, but she is not afraid. Huo Gongxin didn't have time to ask the girl's origin and hurriedly untied her clothes. They were happy with each other, and the girl couldn't stand it. She said, "The prince is so violent. No wonder they are afraid of you." Wang Ding laughed and asked, "Who is the girl?"

The girl said, "My concubine's surname is Wu, and her name is Qiu Yue. My father was a famous Confucian student, good at easy-to-understand and proficient in magic. I once told me that my daughter didn't live long, so she didn't let me get married. At the age of 15, my concubine really died. My father buried me in the east of the attic. The cemetery was level with the ground, and there was no tombstone. Just on the side of the coffin, there is a stone piece with twelve words written on it, 'Female autumn moon, buried without a grave, thirty years, marrying Wang Ding.' Now exactly 30 years have passed, and the prince happened to come here again. Isn't it God's will? The little woman was happy and eager to recommend herself, but she was shy and had to meet her dream.

Wang Ding was very happy and begged, "If you are predestined with your wife, can you make me kiss me?" The girl said, "I don't have enough yang. I have to keep it for resurrection. I really can't stand the wind and rain. The future is long, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to linger with you?" Get up and leave. The next day, the girl visited again. The two hugged and laughed, turned off the lights and went to bed. Although they did not deviate, they touched each other and grabbed each other. Wang Ding was still shaken. Then the girl got up and said goodbye. Wang Ding was careless and left. It's refined.

This night, Yuehua was bright and the two walked leisurely in the courtyard. Wang Ding asked, "Is there a city in the underworld?" Qiu Yue said, "It's the same as Yangjian. The Yinsi City Wall is not here, and it is still three or four miles away. However, contrary to the world, the night is the day. Wang Ding asked, "Can you open my eyes?" Qiu Yue said, "Yes."

The two went by the moon. The autumn moon was like the wind. Wang Ding tried his best to catch up. Or came to a place, and the autumn moon said, "It's almost there." Wang Ding stared at him and saw nothing. Qiu Yue smeared his eyes with saliva, and Wang Ding condensed again, and his eyesight doubled. He identified objects in the night, which was not inferior to the day. In the confusion of the smoke, a city appeared. Pedestrians on the road come and go endlessly.

Suddenly, two ghosts held chains and locked three or four prisoners, coming towards them. One of the prisoners looked like his brother. Wang Ding was shocked. He looked forward and saw that he was indeed his brother. He was stunned and asked, "How did my brother get here?" When Wang Wei saw his brother at first sight, he burst into tears and said, "I don't know what happened. I was caught in a muddle."

Wang Ding said angrily, "My brother is a modest gentleman. Let him go." The two ghosts refused and were arrogant. Wang Ding came forward to argue. His brother stopped him and said, "This is the official ordered by the court. You can't be rude. It's just that I don't have money around me, and the two officials are struggling to ask for bribes and ask my brother to try to burn some paper money for me. Wang Ding took his brother's arm and cried bitterly.

The ghost was very angry. Suddenly, you grabbed the chain in Wang Nai's neck and pulled it hard. Wang Nai couldn't help it, and his footsteps staggered unsteadily. Wang Ding was furious and angry. It was difficult to restrain it. He pulled out the knife with him with a brush. He cut off the ghost's head with one knife, and the other ghost shouted. Wang Ding did not stop and killed him again. It is.

Qiu Yue was shocked and said, "It is a great crime to kill officials. Sooner or later, there will be a big disaster. The prince ran for his life and took the boat home overnight. Don't take off the spiritual flag after you go back, close the door to thank the guests, and you will be safe in seven days. Wang Ding nodded and obeyed, and together with his brother, he paid for the boat and quickly returned to the north. After returning home, I saw a gathering of conces at home, and then I knew that my brother was dead. Now send the guests, close the door and lock it.

As soon as he entered the hall, his brother's soul disappeared in the blink of an eye. Soon he heard a sound in the coffin. When he opened it, Wang Yu had recovered and shouted, "I'm starving to death. Go and prepare soup cakes."

At that time, Wang Nai had been dead for two days, and his family was all terrifying. Wang Ding briefly described the whole story and comforted him one by one. Seven days later, the spiritual flag was taken off. When relatives and friends saw Wang Li's death and resurrected, they asked what was going on, and the two brothers casually said perfunctory.

Wang Ding missed the autumn moon day and night. He went south again and came to the inn. He waited for the girl with a candle. The autumn moon was too late. Wang Ding was sleepy and sleepy. Suddenly, he saw a woman visiting and said, "The little lady Qiuyue ordered me to send a letter to the prince: the day before yesterday, the prince killed the ghost, and the wife was arrested. At present, she is locked in prison and abused, and I look forward to the prince every day. Please try to save it."

Wang Ding was inexplicably sad and indignant. He followed the woman on the road. The two came to a city and entered the west wall. The woman pointed to a door and said, "Mrs. Qiuyue is imprisoned here for the time being." Wang Ding broke into the door and saw that there were many houses and prisoners gathered, but the autumn moon was not among them. Another small door was opened. There was a hut in the door, lit the lights, and walked close to the window to peep. Qiu Yue sat **, covering her sleeves and crying. Two ghost pawns beside him, touching their faces and grabing shoes, and flirting frequently.

A ghost pawn put his arms around Qiu Yue's neck and smiled, "If your wife has become a criminal, do you still have to stick to chastity?"

Wang Ding was furious and went straight in with a knife, one by one. He killed two ghost pawns and escaped with Qiu Yue in his hand. Fortunately, no one noticed it. When he came to the inn, Wang Ding suddenly woke up and thought, "Is it a dream?" But seeing Qiu Yue standing with tears in her eyes, Wang Ding was overjoyed and pulled her to sit by the bed and told her about the dream. Qiu Yue said, "It's true, not a dream."

Wang Ding asked in shock, "What should I do now?" Qiu Yue sighed, "This is a fixed number. I had to wait until the end of the month before I could return the sun. That's it. I don't have time to wait any longer. Please dig the grave immediately, carry my body back, and return home together. Call the name of the concubine every day, and after three days, she can be resurrected. It's just that the time is not full, and the bones are weak, and I can't do the housework for you. After saying that, he hurried to come out. Orr turned back and said, "I almost forgot. What if the yin division can't be investigated?" After meditating for a while, he said, "When I was not dead, my father passed on two runes. He said, "Thirty years later, husband and wife can wear it." While talking, he mentioned the red pen and wrote two yellow symbols. He said, "One is for the prince, and the other is on my back."

Wang Ding sent Qiu Yue out of the gate and saw that she had disappeared in the courtyard, so he dug the ground and dug more than a foot deep where she disappeared. Sure enough, he saw a coffin, which had already decayed. There is a small stone tablet next to the coffin. The inscription is exactly the same as what the autumn moon said in the past. Opening the coffin, I saw that the autumn moon's skin was ruddy and lifelike.

The body was carried into the room, and the clothes were blown by the wind and turned into ashes. Wang Ding pasted the yellow charm, wrapped the body in a quilt, carried it to the river, and said to the boat family, "This is my sister. I'm sick and I'm going to rush home." The boat owner had no doubt about him. He immediately rowed into the water. The south wind blew on the water, and the boat was flying. Just at dawn, the two returned home safely.

Wang Ding put Qiu Yue in ** and told his brother and sister-in-law the truth. The family was skeptical. Wang Ding called Qiu Yue's name, and at night he went to bed with the body in his arms. The next day, the body of Qiu Yue gradually warmed up, and he woke up three days later. Seven days later, Qiu Yue was able to walk on the ground and changed her clothes to visit her sister-in-law. She walked lightly and floated like a fairy. However, ten steps away, you have to help others to walk. Otherwise, the body will sway in the wind and fall at any time. Seeing this, the onlookers all said, "Although Miss Qiuyue has a minor illness, she is more charming."

Qiu Yue often persuades Wang Ding: "The prince's sin is too deep. He must accumulate virtue to recite scriptures and repent of his own sins. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't live long." Wang Ding always did not believe in Buddhism. Since then, he has converted to Buddhism. He is very devout and safe all his life.
