During the Kangxi Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, Haichang County, Jiaxing, Zhejiang Province, had a member surnamed Wang, who was rich in wealth and had abundant assets. There was a large garden behind his house, and Wang Yuanwai built a small, exquisite and beautiful two-story building in the garden, so that the female relatives of the family could live in it with peace of mind and not be disturbed by outsiders.
On this day, the lady of the king went back to her room, but when she came to the door, the door was closed, and she pushed hard, and found that the door seemed to have been locked from the inside. Madame Wang wondered in her heart, Wang Yuan's affairs were not at home, there was no one else in the room, who would have the courage to enter the room, and also locked the door? Madame Wang pushed the door open with force, and she approached the crack and looked inside, and the scene inside startled her: a strange man was sitting in her room with a big grin.
Madame Wang's first thought was that the thief had entered the house, and she quickly shouted: "Come on people, catch the thief!" The servants of the king's house all swarmed with sticks, scrambling one by one to catch the thief: "Where is the thief?" Madame Wang pointed to the room, and everyone was about to rush into the door, but unexpectedly the door opened, and the man stood in front of the door without hurrying: "I am a fox fairy in the north, I want to move my family here, I plan to live in your small building, and I have not had time to greet your master for the time being." My family will arrive in two days, I came here first today, I want to decorate the room, you don't need these things in your house, first return to you. The man said, and with a wave of his hand, the boxes, tables, and beds in Madame Wang's room all took off and flew up, falling from the air and landing all over the courtyard. Fearing being smashed, the crowd retreated in fright, never daring to come forward again.
Madame Wang could not afford to see that the people had come, so she had to lead the people out of the courtyard first, and wait until Wang Yuanwai returned home and told him about this. Wang Yuanwai was incredulous at first, he came to the front of the two-story building, and sure enough, he saw that there were people upstairs, and the noise was noisy, and there were also the voices of women and children, as if the man's family members had arrived.
The man stood upstairs, and when he saw Wang Yuanwai, he very politely bowed his hand and saluted: "Wang Yuanwai, I dare to disturb." Despicable people come thousands of miles away, how can you, as the host, not prepare a table of good wine and dishes to wash the dust for the guests? Wang Yuanwai was afraid in his heart, worried that his actions would harm his family, so he had to let people prepare wine and vegetables and put them in the courtyard. The man waved his hand slightly, and the table of wine and dishes rose out of thin air and flew upstairs. After a while, the table flew down from the air again, and all the plates were "swept away".
Since then, the group of foxes has lived on the small upstairs in the backyard, and the Wang family has consciously not dared to come to the back, and the well water in the two times does not violate the river water, which can be regarded as a peaceful coexistence. However, Wang Yuanwai was unhappy in his heart, and his own building was forcibly occupied by others. If the other party is a person, you can also sue the government to apply for a grievance, but the other party is a fox demon with boundless mana, which can make it difficult for the king to do it, and he does not know what to do.
Someone suggested that Wang Yuanwai invite Taoist priests to drive away foxes, and Wang Yuanwai felt that it made sense. He inquired around and invited a Daoist monk with a high level of Taoism to go home and catch demons. Wang Yuanwai led the Daoist priest to the door of the house, and the fox immortal who lived upstairs was already standing upstairs waiting for him. As soon as he saw them, he shouted loudly, "You thief Daoist, you are bold, dare to come and take me?" You might as well try Xianye's methods. "When the Daoist priest saw that the fox demon was so arrogant, he did not get angry, and immediately entered the wang family's altar and put out various instruments for doing things, and he was about to catch the fox demon with his hands.
As soon as the Taoist priest laid out the utensils, the artifacts flew up one by one and flew out of the door. The Daoist priest himself seemed to be grabbed on the back by someone, pushed with his hands, and involuntarily stumbled out. The Daoist priest struggled hard, the Daoist crown was removed, the Daoist robe was scattered, and the whole person was in a terrible state, holding his head and scurrying around.
After the Daoist priest escaped, the fox demon hated the king's staff and often did evil, and there was no peace in the king's home. In desperation, Wang Yuanwai had to go to The Dragon and Tiger Mountain in Jiangxi to ask Zhang Tianshi to come to his home to catch the demon. Zhang Tianshi did not have time to come because of the summons of the Heavenly Court, and sent a master Of Zhou who was highly skilled in magic to follow Wang Yuanwai.
Master Zhou had just arrived at the door of Wang Yuan's outer home, and the fox demon on the upper floor of the backyard seemed to have expected it, standing upstairs and shouting loudly: "Even if Master Zhang Tianshi comes, there is nothing he can do with me, you are a little mage, how can you resist me?" Unconvinced, Master Zhou came to the backyard with the magic weapon, and in a few moments, he was grabbed by the neck and thrown out, falling to the ground, his face covered in blood and covered in mud. Master Zhou got up with a look of shame on his face and said to Wang Yuanwai, "It seems that this fox demon's Taoism is not shallow, I have to invite my brother Master Xie to come, he lives in the Qingyun Temple not far from here." ”
The king thanked him one after another, only to ask the mage to drive the fox demon away and return the peace of the house. After Master Xie was invited, he came to the backyard to set up an altar to cast spells, and the man upstairs did not dare to show his face this time, and the top of the small building was very quiet. Wang Yuanwai was happy in his heart: Still Master Xie's spell is superb, it seems that the fox repelling is promising!
But at this moment, a white light flashed, and a white-bearded old man appeared upstairs: "Bold Master Xie, dare to deceive my descendants, bully people!" Your spell frightened them, but it didn't scare me. Master Xie looked awe-struck, sat down at the altar and recited the words, took out a bowl with a golden light from his arms and threw it out. The golden bowl spun in the air a few times and flew toward the small building in the backyard. The little upstairs let out a cry of terror, and the white-bearded old man laughed loudly: "Don't be afraid of your children and grandchildren, there is me here!" He pointed with his hand, and a white light pressed against the golden bowl, and the golden bowl flew into the air, as if it was blocked by something, and it could no longer soar. The white-bearded old man laughed loudly: "Such a small skill of carving insects, do you dare to do it in front of Grandpa?" As soon as his fingers moved, the white light suddenly glowed, and the golden bowl fell straight to the ground from mid-air.
Master Xie's face turned pale, and he picked up the golden bowl from the ground and gave a deep salute to Wang Yuanwai, "This mage's mana is limited, so why not be a fox demon, or please be smart!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away without turning his head. The fox demon upstairs let out a mocking laugh, and the king shuddered when he heard it.
Since then, there has been no other way for Wang Yuanwai to tell his family to stay away from the small building in the backyard and not to easily provoke the fox demons above, but despite this, strange things often occur in the home, and those fox demons often harass Wang Yuanwai's family. Wang Yuanwai had to swallow his anger and did not dare to fight back.
After more than half a year, in the winter, there was heavy snow every day, and more than a dozen hunters came to spend the night outside the king's home. Wang Yuanwai was originally a hospitable person, but he seemed a little embarrassed, and he said to the hunters: "Originally, spending the night was a small thing, but my family was haunted by fox demons, and the house was restless, just afraid that you would be frightened." When the hunters heard that it was a fox, they all laughed and said to Wang Yuanwai: "Yuanwai is also too small to look at us people, don't forget that we are hunters, specializing in fox hunting and wolf hunting, usually I can't find them!" You prepare us some wine and dishes, we have enough to eat and drink, and we will help you catch the demon! ”
Wang Yuanwai was overjoyed to hear this, and hurriedly asked his family to take out the best wine to entertain the hunters. After the hunters had finished eating, they asked the king where the fox lived. Wang Yuanwai led them to the back of the small building and asked the hunters what magic tools they wanted to prepare. The hunters shook their heads and smiled and said no, took out the shotgun they were carrying, filled it with gunpowder, raised their guns and ping-ponged on the top of the small building, and suddenly the smoke was thick and the smell of gunpowder was choking. Wang Yuanwai was also worried that the fox demon would fight back, but he did not expect that the upstairs was quiet, and there was no movement at all.
The next morning, the hunters were leaving, and the king was not at ease, so he asked them to take themselves upstairs to check, only to see that the small building behind them was empty, only a clump of fox hair fell on the ground in a mess, the windows on all sides were open, and the fox demons had long since fled.
Since then, there have been no fox demons in the Wang Yuanwai family, and there is no trouble!
