During the Ming Dynasty, there was a peasant in a certain place in Zhejiang, this peasant surnamed Zhang, the ancestors were once a big family, by doing silk business to make a fortune, and later when the family was tempted by bad people, infected with the bad habit of gambling, it did not take long for a great family business to be destroyed, and finally contracted a vicious disease, because the treatment was ineffective and died.
Fortunately, when he died, he still left five acres of thin fields for his family, and the family of four lived by planting these thin fields of their own family, and since then they have lived a life of farming. Because his surname is Zhang, the locals call him Boss Zhang, who is loyal and down-to-earth, often helps his neighbors, and has gained a good reputation. But his son was very different from his father, Zhang Boss, whose son was named Zhang Junshan, who had been loved by his family since he was a child, so he developed the habit of getting something for nothing, speculating and slipping, and coveting comfort. His father, Boss Zhang, often advised this son to study well, and in the future, he would rely on reading to get a meritorious name as an official, and he could honor his ancestors, but Zhang Junshan did not listen, and often wandered around with a group of fox friends and dogs, pit and abducted, and the locals shook their heads when they saw it, and they did not expect that an honest person had given birth to such an unfilial son.
It is said that this Zhang Junshan encountered a strange thing one day while hanging out in the market, which had a huge impact on his later life, and it can also be said that he changed his previous life habits. It was a sunny afternoon, and he was wandering around the local market when he found a Taoist-like man setting up a stall with only a thin booklet on it. He immediately became interested in this, and came forward to ask what books this Taoist priest was selling? The Taoist priest said, "My book is very magical, and learning the spells in the book can drive ghosts to help you do anything." Zhang Junshan listened a little in disbelief, he asked the Daoist to prove it, only to see that the Daoist priest did not hurry to say an incomprehensible incantation to the air in front of him, suddenly the wind blew, the sky suddenly darkened, a gust of wind rolled up the dust on the ground, and it did not take long for everything to return to normal, at this time a pot of wine appeared on the ground, and the Daoist priest took it up and drank it.
Zhang Junshan saw that he was no longer convinced of this, and he hurriedly took out a hanging of money to buy the book, thinking that after learning the content, he could drive the ghosts to carry the silver, which was really a fortune. So the next day, Zhang Junshan, according to the books, purchased various methods of utensils, and on a moonlit night, dressed in Taoist clothing, went to the cemetery to experiment. He pressed the table and recited the incantation to the book, and sure enough, he heard the sound of chirping on all sides. In a moment the storm suddenly blew, rolling his book up and falling into the grass, and was snatched up by a ghost jumping out.
The ghosts came out together and said, "You sent us with the spell of detention, and now that the spell has been lost, we are not afraid of you." "Gather around and beat him, yizhong stumbled and fled, the tiles and rubble behind him like a sharp raindrop, and he could only barely escape home. That night, malaria was on full swing, and he lay tired for more than a month, suspecting that it was also a ghost. Later, Zhang Junshan told his father about this matter, feeling both ashamed and angry. His father, Boss Zhang, said, "Lucky! Your spell doesn't work, but it just becomes a laughingstock. If the spell is successful in misfortune, where can you know that the spell does not cause misfortune because of the spell? This is your blessing, and what do you have to resent! ”
Since then, Zhang Junshan's temperament has changed greatly, no longer as he did as he did before, and slowly followed his father to learn to farm, and he also broke off relations with his former fox friends, and Boss Zhang was also very emotional about this matter.
