Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 326 Xing Ziyi

Yang, a Bailian, a native of Teng County, is a teacher of Xu Hongru and is proficient in the art of left Taoism. Later, Xu Hongru was killed, and Yang narrowly escaped and wandered around. He used the left-hand skills to make profits. There were countless pastoral pavilions in his family. On this day, Yang came to Surami and visited a squire's home to perform tricks. The women came out to watch, and the daughter of the squire was also among them. Seeing that she was beautiful and had evil thoughts, Yang went back to cast spells, made a wooden bird, ordered the concubine to seduce the squire's daughter, and said, "So, that's it's it's like that."

The concubine Zhu, the wind is elegant. At present, according to Yang's instructions, she dressed up and went to the attic. Yang pushed her down from the roof. Zhu only felt as light as a leaf, floating in the clouds, and came to the squire mansion in an instant. At night, the moon was clean, and the surrounding scenery was clear at a glance. Zhu stood on the top of the clouds, took out the wooden bird and put it on the ground. The wooden bird fluttered its wings and flew straight into the lady's boudoir. The daughter of the squire first saw the wooden bird and called the maidservant, "Catch it quickly." The two came forward to capture, and the wooden bird came out through the window.

The two then chased after them all the way to the courtyard. The wooden bird suddenly fell to the ground and waved its wings and vibrated. The daughter of the squire came forward to watch. The wooden bird got into the bottom of the skirt, put her on her back, and flew straight into the sky. Seeing this, the maid was so anxious that she cried.

Zhu Shi said in the clouds, "Don't panic, little girl. I'm Chang'e of the Moon Palace. Your young lady is the ninth daughter of the Queen Mother, and she occasionally falls into the mortal world by mistake. The king's mother misses her beloved daughter day and night. She will meet her for the time being and will be returned in a few days. After saying that, he went away.

The two women flew in the air and came to the border of Surai. They caught up with the ground to set off fireworks. The fireworks rushed up and hit the wooden bird's wings. The squire's daughter was caught off guard. In panic, she pulled Zhu's clothes. The two fell from the air and fell into a scholar's house.

Xing Ziyi, a scholar, has a poor family and integrity. Once, a woman next door came to seduce her, but Xing Ziyi refused sternly. The woman hated to leave. After returning, she falsely slandered the good man and said to her father-in-law, "The scholar bullied me." The prime minister was originally a scoundrel. He was furious when he heard the words. Sooner or later, he blocked the door of the scholar and scolded loudly.

The scholar was so annoyed that he simply moved to another village to live in. There is a magician in the village who is good at arithmetic. Xiucai went to visit and asked him to calculate his future. The warlock said, "The prince is rich, why wear shabby clothes? Do you have no eyes to bully the old man?" Xing Ziyi sighed, "In the next poverty, where did the daughter come from?"

The warlock said, "Although you are poor at the time, you will soon be transferred. You will not only get rich overnight, but also have a beautiful wife." Xing Ziyi didn't think so and pushed the door away. The warlock said, "Let's go, let's go." When the old man's words come true in the future, you will come to reward him.

At night, Xing Ziyi sat alone under the moon. Suddenly, two women fell from the sky and stared at them. They were all beautiful. I thought, "Is it a monster?" He came forward to ask what was going on. Zhu refused to confess at first. Xing Ziyi said, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, I'll arrest you to see an official." Zhu had no choice but to tell the truth and begged, "Please don't reveal the news. As long as you let me go, we are willing to serve as slaves and maidservants for life." Xing Ziyi thought, "The daughter of the squire is originally a young lady of the family. How can she take her in privately?" So I sent her back as it was.

Since their daughter's rise, the squire and wife have been frightened and worried. Seeing their daughter's return in good condition, they are overjoyed. In order to thank the scholar, they gave him a hundred taels of silver.

Xing Ziyi took the silver liang and left. He rushed to the warlock's residence and thanked him. The warlock laughed and said, "Don't be in a hurry to thank you. What is a hundred taels of silver? The greater wealth is still in the future. Xing Ziyi was half-confident. When he returned home, Zhu came out to greet him and said, "Please help me."

Xing Ziyi asked, "What's going on?" Zhu said, "Since the last time I abducted the daughter of the squire, I have caused a big disaster. The squire was furious and sued the government. The government ordered to capture the remnants of the white lotus. What should I do? Xing Ziyi said, "Don't worry, I'll find a way for you. At worst, you can break the money to avoid disaster. By the way, your father-in-law, Yang, is the first evil. Where is he now?

Zhu Shi said, "He has received the wind for a long time and fled, and he is still at large. However, the house was confiscated by the government, and I heard that it was going to be sold in public for a while. Xing Ziyi nodded and immediately went to the government office. He bribed the officials and pleaded for Zhu. The county magistrate accepted the silver and promised not to blame the past.

On the other hand, when the daughter of the squire was a child, she made a marriage contract with the young master of the Liu family. Liu suspected that she had an affair with Xing Ziyi and flatly refused to get married. In desperation, the squire had no choice but to choose a new son-in-law for his daughter, discussed this matter with his daughter, and replied, "The child will not marry if he is not punished." Hearing this, the squire did not object and now married the two.

After getting married, the squire bought Yang's house and gave it to his daughter to live in. A family of three moved in, remediate the utensils, bought slaves, and there was little silver left. On this day, Zhu Shi said to Xing Ziyi, "Yang, the evil husband, once buried a lot of silver liang downstairs. Just then, I went to check. The masonry is complete, and the silver liang is still there."

The two went to dig and found a large pile of treasures, with thousands of taels of silver. Since then, Xing Ziyi has become rich overnight. He sincerely admires the warlock's criticism and specially prepares a generous gift to thank him.
