During the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, the "Demon Fox Case" occurred in the capital, and the mysterious points in it have never been solved
From ancient times to the present, we can often hear that there are really some spiritual creatures in the human world that can become spirits, and the most widely spread one is the fox spirit. Whether it is a green hill fox or a nine-tailed fox, as long as they are born, they are lovers or harmful. It is precisely because there are so many ghosts and foxes that many legendary stories will be shaped.
There is a chapter from the "History of Ming" that the case of the demon fox is more mysterious.
During the 1476 years of the Western Calendar, Zhu Mishen took the civil and military officials to the outskirts to perform sacrifices. Suddenly, there was a fierce wind, and in an instant it was dark, and everyone panicked. This gust of wind is really very fierce, and it is also unusually cold, and some people are actually frozen to death on the spot, but it is impossible to know whether this is true or not.
After Zhu Jianshen returned to the palace, he was always very worried in his heart, thinking that this was not a good sign, so he sent someone to investigate, but he did not find anything.
A few months later, a eunuch saw a dark shadow like a fox in the palace, and someone was injured. Some people call this evil creature that specializes in catching children "Black Eye", which makes everyone very panicked, and Zhu Mishen also sent people to catch it, but still nothing.
At this time, a lot of things really happened in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Jianshen was very uneasy when he found some of them, so he went to the gods for help, and also wrote down the edict of sin, and after tossing and turning, he actually stopped for a few months.
Unexpectedly, in the past few months, something very strange has happened. In the capital, there was a merchant named Zhao Ling'an, who met a particularly beautiful woman on the road, and often wore a veil. Zhao Ling'an liked her very much and brought her back to Fuzhong. But unexpectedly, as soon as she came, the people in the family, as well as fish, dogs, etc., were dead, and the woman was gone, so everyone said that this woman was a fox demon.
And Zhu Jianshen was also very upset about this matter, but he did not catch the fox demon, but found a Taoist priest.
This man was named Hou Dequan, alias Li Zilong, and he said that he had secret arts. Because he had a good relationship with the eunuch, the eunuch hid him in the palace to learn spells. After this matter was revealed, Zhu Mishen was very angry and beheaded him.
Who would have thought that the palace would become more unpeaceful, and there would be many strange sounds.
Someone told Zhu Jianshen that this matter was deliberately created by someone, just to use this incident to convince the emperor that there was really a supernatural event. So Zhu Jianshen felt that there was no credible person in the palace, and he could only trust Wang Zhi when he thought about it.
Later, Zhu Jianshen set up a West Factory headed by Wang Zhi, and it did not take long to suppress the East Factory, and the supernatural events did not occur again. Later, some scholars felt that this was completely a play designed by Wang Zhi.
