First, in the early days of Emperor Xiaowen of Later Wei's ascension to the throne, there was a man named Yuan Zhao who knew the Nine Heavens Dafa and was able to lower demons and exorcise demons. There was a daughter of a family in Yi who had been suffering from a demon disease for several years, and more than a dozen people had treated it, but it had no effect.
One day, the man took his daughter to find Yuan Zhao. After Yuan Zhao's diagnosis, he said: "The monster that pestered your daughter is not an animal becoming a sperm, it is a painting demon who is doing something wrong." Then he said the reason for his judgment: "I know the demons of the world, whether on land or in the water, but I do not understand this monster." It should be a demon hiding in the temple frescoes. ”
The girl's father nodded and said, "A few years ago, I took my daughter to the Huanghua Temple to worship the Buddha, and she was very afraid of the demons in the murals, and she had nightmares at night, dreaming of being caught by an evil ghost and getting sick ever since." Yuan Zhao said, "It seems that my deduction is not wrong." Then he spoke into the air, and there was a response in the air.
After a while, he scolded into the air again, "Why don't you bring it?" The air replied, "The Great God of Harukata said that he would punish the evil gods who were doing evil, but Mr. Bulaoyuan took matters into his own hands." Yuan Zhao was very angry and said, "Tell the Great God of Chunfang, I must take care of this matter." Then he said, "Summoning two of the Two Tooth Generals and eight Red Brow Divine Soldiers, there is no need to pass through the Spring Fang Great God, and directly capture the Heavenly Demon who is doing evil." ”
After a long time, a gust of wind and rain came, and Yuan Zhao laughed: "You originally had no physical form, but you were painted on the wall, why did you seduce the living?" Then he turned to the girl and said, "You can identify yourself." ”
In an instant, the gods and demons will all appear. The two gods were more than one foot tall, dressed in red clothes, their teeth were more than three feet long beyond their lips, and the eight divine soldiers were also dressed in red, and their eyes and eyebrows were red. Together, the God warrior will grab a demon and come to the girl for him to identify.
The demon has loose hair, red eyes, a large nose, a mouth of fangs, hands like bird paws, barefoot with long hair, and leopard print shorts.
The girl nodded, and Yuan Zhao said to the evil ghost, "You were originally illusory, and you have an image by virtue of the hand of the painter, which is already extremely precious, but it is a crime to do evil in the human world." ”
The evil ghost was not convinced, and said, "Illusion is true, truth is illusion, and since I have been drawn as an image, I should exist in the world." Yuan Zhao, enraged, ordered the boy to bring a jar of water and poured it on the evil ghost, whose look remained unchanged. Yuan Zhao, even more angry, ordered the man to boil a pot of hot water, and once again poured on the evil ghost, and the evil ghost fell to the ground and died, becoming dry and became an empty shell. Yuan Zhao had people throw empty shells into the wild. The girl's illness was immediately cured.
A month later, the girl's father went to the Huanghua Temple to check it out, and the mural on the wall was missing, as if it had been washed in water. The monk in the temple said, "A month ago, on the night, suddenly the wind and rain were great, and the rumbling thunder surrounded the temple for a long time. A voice came from the mural: 'Mr. Yuan's magic is superb, you still have to tie your hands and grab it!' Then the clouds opened and the rain gathered, and in the evening, one of the demons in the fresco disappeared and seemed to be washed away by the water. ”

Second, there was a monk named Xingyun in the jingxing temple, who saw a flying fairy on the mural while cleaning. The fairy looked enchanted, holding a lotus flower, and seemed to be smiling at him. Xingyun joked: "If there is such a woman in the world, I will marry her." ”
That night, someone knocked on his door and said, "The Lotus Lady is coming!" Xingyun opened the door and saw a beautiful woman with a maid. Madame said, "I am the flying sky before the Buddha, and I am appreciated by the master, and all those who are restless have come to meet." Xingyun was surprised and happy, and pretended to resign. Madame asked the maid to make the bed, and then closed the door.
After a while, the other monks heard Xingyun's miserable cry, and everyone rushed to open the door, only to hear the sound of eating things coming from inside, and there was a tone similar to that of the Hu people cursing: "Why did the thief shave his head and go home?" Even if I were a woman, I wouldn't be a wife for you.
The crowd slammed the door together, and two night forks jumped out of it, giant fangs, face like blue indigo, hair like cinnabar, roaring and jumping without knowing where to go, and the monk of Xingyun only had a few bones left. Later, the monks in the temple saw two night forks on the mural behind the Buddha statue, the two that had eaten Xingyun, and their lips were still stained with a trace of red. "Hedong Chronicle"
Third, in the early years of Tang Jianzhong, a man led a horse to seek medical treatment, saying that the horse's foot was sick. The veterinarian saw that the horse's coat color skeleton was very special, so he smiled and said, "This horse seems to have been painted by Han Gan (a Painter of the Tang Dynasty), and I have never seen such a horse." He asked the medical seeker to lead his horse to the street for a walk, and he followed behind to observe the lameness.
Just happened to meet Han Gan, Han Gan was also very surprised, said: "The coat color of this horse is very similar to the horse I painted, it seems that if you paint casually, there is something to match in the darkness!" The horse limped down the road, and one of its front legs seemed sick. After returning, Han Gan looked at the horse he had drawn again, and there was a line on the front leg that was not very coherent. The veterinarian received two thousand yuan in honorariums, and after a few people, the copper coins became made of mud. (From "Youyang Miscellaneous Tricks")
Fourth, Linqing Cui's family is very poor, and there is no money to repair the gap in the wall. In recent days, every morning I have seen a horse lying in the yard, with black and white coats and a short tail, as if it had been burned by fire. He chased the horse away and reappeared the next morning, not knowing where it had come from.
Cui Mou had a good friend who was an official in Jindi, and he wanted to go there to make a living but there was no livestock to walk, so he caught the horse, put it on a saddle cage, and rode out. Before leaving, he instructed his family: "If anyone comes looking for a horse, tell them the truth." "After getting on the road, the horse galloped like a fly, and in a short while it ran out of more than a hundred miles, and it did not eat or drink at night. Cui thought it was sick, and the next day he took the reins and let it jog. The horse hissed with spit, as if unhappy. After letting go of the reins, it still galloped and reached its destination at noon.
After entering the city, people praised the horse's divine horse. After the King of Jin heard about it, he wanted to buy it for a lot of money, but Cui was afraid that the owner of the horse would come to find him and did not dare to sell it.
After half a year, no one came to look for him, and Cui Mou did not get a good errand, so he sold the horse to the King of Jin for eight hundred taels and bought a mule to go home.
Many years later, the King of Jin had an urgent official business and sent a lieutenant to ride this horse to Linqing. When they arrived in Linqing, the horse broke free and fled, the lieutenant chased all the way, and the horse ran into Cui's neighbor's house and disappeared. The lieutenant entered the door and asked for it, and the master said he did not see it. The lieutenant looked up and saw a painting of Zhao Ziang hanging on the wall, one of which resembled the missing horse, and a hole in the tail was burned by incense. The lieutenant knew that this was the horse in the painting, but he could not go back to his life, so he wanted to go to the government to sue the family.
Cui Mou used the eight hundred and two silver as a book, and now he is very rich, and after he heard about it, he took out eight hundred and two silver to compensate. The lieutenant thanked him profusely, but he did not know that Cui Was the one who sold horses that year. "Chatting with Zai Zhiyi"
5. Wu Daozi once went to a monastery to play, and the monks were not polite to him. Wu Daozi painted a donkey on the wall to leave. At night, donkeys came down from the wall and kicked and smashed a lot of furniture. The monk invited Wu Daozi and painted the painting. (From "Lu's Miscellaneous Sayings")
Sixth, Wenzhou Taishou had a daughter who was very beautiful and died of illness at the age of marriage. The parents were very sad and painted the image of their daughter to provide incense. When Taishou left office, he forgot to take away the painting, and the new Taishou's son was not yet married, and he liked it when he saw the portrait, and secretly thought: It would be satisfying to be able to marry such a wife in his life. So he took off the portrait and hung it in his bedroom.
One night, the woman came down from the painting and made a good fit. After half a year, the prince's face was haggard and thin. When my parents questioned me, the prince told me what had happened and said, "The woman brings me fruit every night, and I also prepare a gift for eating, but she never eats it." ”
Taishou said, "You can find a way to get her to eat something, maybe you can drive her away." In the evening, the prince urged, the woman was helpless, and ate a little. I couldn't go back to the painting at dawn. Everyone watched, like real people, but they couldn't speak. Therefore, he and the prince became a real couple. "Quitting Farming"
Seventh, Zhao Yan, a tang dynasty soldier, got a picture of a beautiful woman and liked it. The painter said, "This is a fairy painting called Zhenzhen, and if you call for a hundred days, you will be resurrected." Zhao Yan did so, and really did come down from the painting.
After getting married, they had a son, and two years later, a friend said that he was really a demon and brought a sword. I was really angry and took the child to the picture scroll, never came down again, and painted one more child. "Pine Window Miscellaneous"
