Chapter 219 He Jiansheng
A scholar in Hejian County piled up wheat straw on the threshing floor at home. His family extracted wheat straw from the wheat pile every day and burned it to cook. Gradually, a cave was formed on the wheat pile. A fox demon lived in it, often going in and out of the cave, transforming into an old man and meeting his master.
One day, the fox demon invited the scholar to enter the cave. The scholar was very embarrassed. The fox demon repeatedly asked, and the scholar had no choice but to get into the cave. The house in the cave is spacious and luxurious. As soon as he sat down, the fox demon immediately offered hot wine and sat until the sun was dim. Then he got up and said goodbye. On the way back, the scholar occasionally turned back, and the furniture in the cave disappeared, all of which disappeared.
The fox demon often comes out day and night. When the dragon sees the head and the end, he asks him where he has gone and always says, "Have a banquet with friends." The scholar asked him to take him to the meeting with him. The fox demon refused and repeatedly asked, and then he agreed. He stretched out his right hand and took the scholar's arm, galloping like flying, as fast as the wind, in an instant, to the capital city.
When the two entered a hotel, the store was full of guests, and the wine fighting was noisy and lively. The fox demon led the way first, took the scholar upstairs, and looked down from the upstairs. The dishes and wine in the living room were vivid. The fox demon went downstairs by himself, took wine, vegetables and fruits from the table, and invited the scholar to enjoy it. The guests were unaware of it.
After the meeting, the scholar saw a guest in red, with a golden orange in front of him, begging for the fox demon to ingest it. The fox demon said, "This is a gentleman who can't be approached." The scholar secretly thought: The fox demon and I were intertrayed, thinking that it was because of my words and deeds. Dang, from now on, we will definitely change the evil and return to the right. While thinking about it, his body couldn't help but fall to the ground from the second floor. The guests were horrific and scolded one after another, "Where did the monster come from? How dare you come here!"
The scholar looked up and saw that he was not on the second floor, but on the beam, so he told the truth. When everyone saw that he was sincere and did not lie, they gave him a travel fee and ordered him to return to his hometown.
The scholar asked, "Where is this?" He replied, "Yutai."
The scholar was shocked. It turned out that he had reached thousands of miles away unconsciously.
