Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 377 Niu Tongren

Scholar Niu Tongren, the fox demon at home, steals property and confuses relatives from time to time. At noon this day, Niu Tong fan passed by his father's room and saw him sleeping in bed. He didn't wake up, knowing that it was a fox demon. He said angrily, "The bold fox demon dares to harm my father. It seems that you are tired of living. I will send it to the emperor of Guan and ask him to go down to the earth to catch demons. Humph, the next fox demon is rampant, and I don't care about it!" Now write an ultimatum, burn it to ashes, and play the Jade Emperor. In the ultimatum, there are many complaints about the responsibility of Emperor Guan's dereliction of duty.

A few times later, Guan Dihuer appeared in the clouds and scolded angrily, "How dare a scholar be rude! I'm in charge of the creatures in the world. I'm busy with my business. How can I catch demons for your family? You didn't complain to me about this in advance. What's the reason to complain about me? He ordered his men to capture Niu Tongren, and the stick was responsible for twenty. He beat him straight to open the skin and flesh. After the punishment, a black-faced general held a hemp rope, landed in the courtyard, tied the fox demon away, and left. Since then, the fox demon has disappeared at home.

Three years later, a guerrilla daughter in Jinan was fascinated by the fox demon and was unconscious. She invited a master to open the altar, drew charms and curses. The methods were exhausted, but there was no effect. The fox demon said, "The only person I fear in my life is Niu Shusheng." The guerrillas don't know the origin of Niu Shusheng, and there is no way to find it for a while.

It happened that Niu Tongren went to Jinan to participate in the township examination. Inexplicably, he was insulted by the guerrilla men. He was indignant and immediately went to the guerrilla mansion to complain. When the guerrilla learned that he was the person he was looking for, he was overjoyed and treated him warmly. He punished his soldiers heavily and calmed Niu's anger. Then he asked him to catch the demon.

Niu Tongren had no choice but to burn the ultimatum and ask Emperor Guan for help. Suddenly, a golden armored god fell from the sky. The fox demon suddenly saw the god. The color suddenly changed and showed its original shape. He looked like a dog. He ran around the house. He knew that he was guilty and did not dare to resist. He took the initiative to kneel under the steps and did not move.

The golden armor god said, "Last time I spared you not to die, but now I do evil again, and my sins are unforgivable." Take out the rope, tie the fox demon, hang the horse's neck, and go away.
