Folk Tales (Three Short Stories)

Douding.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a man named Li Shizhi, who was not only rich in his family, but also very proud, and often placed the ding in front of the court and used it to prepare meals.

One morning, Ding in the courtyard suddenly jumped up and fought with each other, and the servants reported to Li Shizhi.

Li Shizhi came to the courtyard and put on a wine sacrifice, but Ding still fought non-stop, because the fight was too fierce, Ding's ears and feet were knocked down.

The next day, Li Shizhi was deposed and replaced by Prince Shaobao.

At that time, people felt that his misfortune was far from over.

Soon after, he was framed by Li Linfu and demoted to Yichun Taishou.

Li Shizhi's son Li Xia (李霅), a Wei Wei Shaoqing (衛尉少卿), was also demoted to Baling Commandery (巴陵郡別車).

Li Shizhi went to the state and died within ten days.

At that time, people believed that he was persecuted and killed by Li Linfu.

Li Xi went to transport his father's spirit hub back to Kyoto.

Li Linfu was still angry, and had people falsely accuse Li Xi and beat him to death in Henan Province.

Later, people felt that those dings were fighting each other, as if they were foreshadowing something.

Essence.

In the Qing Dynasty, there was a person named Gao Ruigong, who made a monster in his yard, and when the family walked at night, they could often see a white-clad man who was more than a foot tall, creeping behind his back, stretching out his hand to cover people's eyes, and his hands were extremely cold.

Gao Ruigong had no way, so he closed the courtyard and reopened a door in another direction.

Unexpectedly, the man in white became unscrupulous and appeared during the day.

Once, Gao Ruigong was drunk, sitting in the hall, and saw a man in white standing in front of a pillar, with his beard and eyes slightly closed, looking at the sky, as if he had not found Gao Ruigong.

Gao Ruigong sneaked up behind it and punched it, only to hit the pillar and bleed his hands.

Looking back, I saw that the man in white was already standing on the stone steps.

Gao Ruigong ran over and tried to continue to tear, but he wanted to be slipped by the moss on the ground and fall to the ground on his back facing the sky.

The man in white looked at it and laughed, and stretched out his hand to hit Gao Ruigong, but he couldn't bend down at the waist, and wanted to stretch out his foot to kick Gao Ruigong, but his foot was too long to lift up, so he became extremely angry, and he wanted to escape around the steps.

Gao Ruigong stood up, hugged the white-clad man, and forcefully overturned him, and the white-clad man fell to the ground and disappeared.

Gao Chungong called for his family, excavated in the place where the white-clad man had disappeared, dug three feet, and found a sitting brick made of white porcelain.

Smash it to pieces, and there will never be a monster in the house again.

Maple ghost.

Legend has it that in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, there is a kind of monster called the maple ghost, which is an old maple tree that has grown up for many months and becomes the appearance of an old man, so it is also called Lingfeng.

During the North and South Dynasties, in Fuzhou's Magu Mountain, some people climbed to the top of the mountain and looked out, the mountains, rivers and mountains, and there was no end to it.

There are many ancient trees growing on the mountain.

There is an old tree that has lived for thousands of years, and has turned into a human form, with eyes.

There is a nose, mouth, and arms, but no feet.

People who enter the mountain can often see it, and if someone takes a small piece off it, the wound will bleed.

Some people once put bluegrass on its head like a hat, and the next day they looked at it all, and this maple spirit was a maple ghost.

In the mountains of Jiangdong and Jiangxi in the Tang Dynasty, there were many maple people, growing under maple trees, like human figures, three or four feet high.

When there is a thunderstorm at night, it grows as tall as a tree, and when it sees a person, it retracts.

Someone once put a bamboo kasa on its head, and the next day when I went to see it, the bamboo kasa actually hung on the treetops.

On a dry day, if you want to ask for rain, it will rain with a bamboo needle on its head, and then hold a ceremony to ask for rain.

People brought it back from the mountain to make a plate for divination, which was extremely magical.
