Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 210 Guo Sheng

Guo Sheng, a native of Zichuan County, loves reading less. Unfortunately, the mountains are remote and there is no famous teacher to teach. Therefore, you are in your twenties. There are many mistakes in writing and painting. The Guo family once had fox demons and food utensils. They were often stolen by fox demons and had a headache.

This night, Guo Sheng was reading at home and put the article on the desktop. Unexpectedly, he was painted black by the fox demon, which was a mess. What's more, in some places, the words are full of ink, which is difficult to recognize. Guo Sheng shook his head and sighed. He copied the slightly clean text, leaving only sixty or seventy songs left. He was resentful in his heart, but he had no choice.

Guo Sheng has written more than 20 articles on weekdays. He thinks it's good. He collects them together and intends to ask celebrities for advice. When I got up early the next day, I saw all the articles spread out and thrown on the desk. Between the lines of the font, the ink was dripping and destroyed. I knew that it was a fox demon, and I hated it. Coincidentally, his good friend Wang Sheng came to the mountain village and went to visit Guo's family. At first glance, he saw the text on the table and asked what was going on. Guo Sheng complained and scolded the fox demon's evil deeds. While resenting, he took out the remnants and asked Wang Sheng for advice.

Wang Sheng looked at the play and found that the fox demon's smeared and remained was not messy. What was deleted was some nonsense, and what was left was the essence. He said, "The fox demon seems to do it deliberately. Not only does it not need to worry, but you can also worship it as a teacher." A few months later, Guo Sheng re-read the old article and found that the modification of the fox demon was very correct. So I rewrote two articles and put them on the desktop to see the changes. At dawn the next day, the new work was smeared again.

After a year like this, the fox demon no longer smears the article, but circles the dots with ink, and the paper is full of ink dots. Guo Sheng was surprised and gave the article to Wang Sheng to watch. After reading, Wang Sheng said, "The fox demon is really a good teacher. Brother Guo has made great progress in writing and can participate in the imperial examination."

In this year's college examination, Guo Sheng was indeed admitted as a scholar. Since then, he has been grateful to the fox demon and often prepares fat chickens for the fox demon to enjoy. Every time I buy a textbook, I don't make up my mind. It's all up to the fox demon. He participated in the township examination twice, both of which were among the top students, and the deputy list of tribute students in the examination.

At that time, Mr. Ye was famous, and his articles were gorgeous and recited by his family. Guo Sheng had a manuscript of Ye Gongwenxuan. He cherished it. Unexpectedly, he was stained by the fox demon splashing ink. A masterpiece he carefully conceived was also stained by the fox demon. He was unhappy, so he no longer believed it.

Soon after, Mr. Ye was arrested and imprisoned for reforming his literary style. Knowing this, Guo Sheng couldn't help admiring the fox demon's foresight. However, every time I wrote an article, I took great painstaking efforts, but in the end, none of them were spared, and they were all smeared by fox demons.

Guo Sheng was proud and arrogant in the previous examination room, and became more and more dissatisfied with the fox demon, so he specially found a few articles to try it. These articles were annoying. Those were all good works that the fox demon had selected before, and he was smeared again.

Guo Sheng smiled angrily: "Fox demon, fox demon, you are simply unreasonable. It's you who says it's good, and it's you who says it's not good. It's really difficult to serve. Since then, he has no longer prepared meals for the fox demon. In order to prevent the fox demon from retaliating, he has locked all the articles and textbooks in the wooden cabinet.

When I got up in the morning, the wooden cabinet was locked and the lines did not move, but when I opened it, I saw that there were four more lines of ink on the writing and the thickness of my fingers. On the first page, five horizontal bars were drawn on the paper, and the second page was also five bars. Guo Sheng was full of doubts and did not know the meaning. However, from that day on, the fox demon disappeared and never appeared again.

Later, Guo Sheng took the exam and ranked fourth for the first time, and two or three times in the fifth class. Only then did he understand that the fox demon did not know the prophet, and the examination results had already implied that he was just confused and stupid, and had no eyes.
