Shusheng marries widows, foxes go to the door to roost, are driven unwilling, take revenge and poison schemes; incarnate as dead people, angrily rebuke dog men and women, break up good marriages, and be at the bottom of the town.
During the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar in Changde Province named Zeng Kegui. He was a son of an official, and in his early years he was followed by servants, and he came home to stretch out his hands and eat to open his mouth, and his life was carefree and carefree.
Unexpectedly, when Zeng Kegui was 20 years old, his great-father did some harmful things, was seized by the government, and immediately raided the family and reduced the whole family to a commoner.
After that, Zeng Kegui's family moved back to the old ancestral home in the countryside to live a life. On weekdays, he was not welcomed by the local people, and his great-father could not bear these shames, and he died after half a year.
Since then, he has been precious and lonely, and he has no relatives and friends to help him, only Lin Mao, a poor scholar in his neighbor, can look up to him.
The two often visit each other to drink and chant poems, zeng Kegui often said some pompous life interesting things to Lin Mao, and the other party was also relishing and listening to it.
Lin Mao had a wife, Li Shi, who was gentle and beautiful, had never read a book, saw Zeng Kegui's personable demeanor, and was a prince and grandfather before, and he was even happy, sometimes carrying her husband Lin Mao behind her back and secretly sending Qiu Bo to Zeng Kegui.
Zeng Kegui also knew that his brother and sister-in-law had intentions for him, but he did not dare to have any deviant behavior, and he lived his life in peace and self-preservation. A friend's wife must not be deceived, and he understands this truth.
At the autumn equinox of this year, Lin Mao suddenly became seriously ill, lying in bed for several days unconscious, and he was about to die, zeng Kegui was also worried, and ran around asking Lang Zhong to grab medicine.
Unexpectedly, in the night, Lin Mao suddenly woke up when he returned to the light and rushed to let Li Shi find Zeng Kegui.
Lin Mao said with tears: "Brother Zeng, I am afraid that I can't do it in the next step, I have no choice but to suffer my wife, I also know that she has intentions for you in ordinary days, and when I die, I will marry her to live together, I know your character!" ”
Zeng Kegui listened, his face turned blue and white, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "There is a bad atmosphere in this matter, and it cannot be done." Lin Mao saw that Zeng Kegui refused to agree, but he smiled helplessly and bitterly, coughed out two mouthfuls of blood and died.
After Lin Mao's death, na Li became a widow. On weekdays, when there is nothing to do, he looks for Zeng Kegui to help, and Zeng Kegui thinks of the friendship of his deceased brother, but he takes care of her many times.
This night, Zeng Kegui had just been lying down, when he suddenly heard Li Shi next door knocking on the door and shouting: "Zeng Xianggong, the slave family's lamps and candles have run out, can you borrow three from you and return them another day?" Zeng Kegui got up busily, took a candle from the cupboard, and went out to give it to Li Shi. Li Shi also called Lu Hei and asked Zeng Kegui to light a lamp to send her back.
The two returned to the Lin family, but Li Shi pulled Zeng Kegui into the back room, and in an instant, he boldly became bold, untied his clothes a few times, and wrapped around Zeng Kegui's neck, which was a strange sound.
Zeng Kegui struggled a few times, smelled the beautiful human body fragrance, and suddenly became heartbroken, and Li Shi said: "Zeng Gongzi, but remember my husband's instructions before he died, tonight you will leave the slave family, and marry me in the future."
Zeng Kegui was provoked by Li Shi for a while, and he was already burning himself, and he couldn't help but tangle with the woman ambiguously.
After a night of spring supper, Zeng Kegui obeyed his promise to marry Li Shi and became a loving couple. The two sang songs at night, very unsympathetic, and when they were full, they glued together to enjoy the flowers and the moon, envying others.
One day, Li Shi went to the barn on the east wall to fetch grain, found a white fox sleeping in the house, and when he scolded angrily, he picked up a bamboo stick to drive away the white fox. The fox saw that Li Shi was brutal and slipped out of the window a few times and disappeared.
The next day, the white fox returned to the Zeng family's barn to rest, and Li Shi called out to Zeng Kegui, and the two of them took sticks and beat the fox back and forth, beating it away. In order to prevent the fox from coming again, Zeng Kegui asked the craftsmen to seal the windows and strengthen the doors.
In the night, the fox returned to the barn again, grabbed and crawled for a while and was not allowed to enter the house, and was very angry, so he angrily said, "You husband and wife, don't let me live in peace, you will have a good rest."
On the evening of July 14, Zeng Kegui and Li Shi finished worshipping Lin Mao and went to bed early.
Unexpectedly, the courtyard door and door of the Zeng family suddenly opened by themselves, and a person rushed in, entered the back room, pointed to the Zeng Kegui couple on the bed, and scolded: "A good pair of dog men and women actually did something behind my back and did some dirty things!" ”
Zeng Kegui lit the lamp and looked at it, immediately frightened half to death, it turned out that this person was the dead Lin Mao, wearing the same birthday clothes as when he died, Li Shi was also frightened and fell to his knees, crying: "Husband Jun, the slave family married Zeng Xianggong also obeyed your dying instructions, why did you come back to scold me today?" ”
The more Lin Mao listened, the more angry he became, and he rushed over to slap Zeng Kegui and Li Shi twice, and angrily said, "Wei Fu just wanted to try you that day, he didn't think that as soon as I died, you would get along, I couldn't swallow this breath under the Nine Springs, tonight I took advantage of the ghost door to close and open, and I ran up to teach you a lesson!" ”
When Zeng Kegui heard this, he was ashamed and afraid, and he hurriedly begged for forgiveness: "Brother Lin moqi, it is my fault, if you want to fight and punish you, it is as you want." The ghost Lin Mao listened, and really slapped Zeng Precious twice.
Lin Mao said angrily, "You must write a letter of resignation to put this evil woman on hold, and then empty the barn and let the fox fairy live, if these two things can't be done, Hugh blames me for coming up to take your two lives again." Zeng Kegui was so frightened that he agreed one after another, took out a pen, ink and paper, and wrote a letter of resignation, lin Mao read it, and then he was satisfied and fled.
The next day, Li shi moved out of the Zeng family in tears, and the two have since gone their separate ways and resumed their single days.
So half a month has passed, once valuable to see the white fox in the barn in and out, and at night there is a squeaking laughter, very happy, this beast often brought back a few female white foxes, in the barn indulged in joy, completely as their own home.
Zeng Kegui was bitter, depressed for days, and only after thinking about it did he suspect that Lin Mao had let him divorce his wife, why did he propose to let the fox live in his own barn?
The next day, Zeng Kegui went to the Taoist temple and told an old Taoist priest about this strange thing.
After the Daoist priest took a chance, he shook his head and said, "Lin Mao was reincarnated half a year ago, and it is impossible to come back to scare you" Zeng Kegui listened and asked, "Then what kind of ghost is teasing me like this?" ”
The Daoist priest did not say a word, but only asked Zeng Kegui to take him back to Zeng's house.
In the night, the Taoist priest came to the barn and recited a mantra to the inside, and the white fox inside was so ferocious that it swooped out and fought with the Daoist. After dozens of rounds of fighting, only to see the Daoist priest cut off the fox's leg with a sword, the evil fox ate the pain, and begged for forgiveness one after another, and only after the Daoist priest inquired did he tell the truth.
It turned out that the ghost Lin Mao was exactly what this white fox had changed, and that day the white fox was driven away by Zeng Kegui and his wife, and with a grudge in his heart, this fox would have a dream voyeuristic art, and could enter people's dreams and spy on what had happened to him.
Through this technique, after learning what happened between the three people, it calculated that on the night of the Middle Yuan Festival, Lin Mao came to the Zeng family in disguise, frightened Zeng Kegui to take Li Shi away, and also let himself live in the barn.
Later, the Taoist priests took the fox away and suppressed it at Hukou Mountain, and after a hundred years of reform, they changed the inferiority of the fox. Zeng Kegui took back the Li family, and the two lived a small life of love and happiness from then on.
This story is called "Fox Demon Breaking Marriage", which comes from "Jing yue Zhai folk tales", author: Tang Sometimes
Message from Jing Yue Zhai:
There is no doubt that Zeng Shusheng is a scholar of high character, who is upright and kind, and who has not done anything to apologize to his friends under the temptation of his friend's wife, such a person is rare today. Of course, the friend died of illness, and when he was dying, he also had the intention of entrusting his wife, and marrying his deceased wife could only be regarded as a beautiful thing.
But this fox demon, forcibly occupying other people's houses, after being driven away, also maliciously retaliated, although it did not kill people, but destroyed the good marriage of others, it is really a sin, and finally it was a hundred years in the town, which is also deserved.
The story tells us that there are many scammers and bad people in this world, and what you see and hear may not have other hidden feelings, and you need to carefully analyze it to draw the right conclusion.
