Talking about the story of Nie Xiaoqian in Zaili, many people have heard about it. The movie "Ghost of a Lady" is based on this story. In addition, her story has also been filmed in several TV series, even cartoons, and has appeared in many games. In Liaozhai, there are many similar "human-ghost love". For example, this article "Wu Qiuyue".
The beginning of the story is not surprising at all, it is Pu Songling's usual routine, a young man named Wang Ding, sleeping in bed in the middle of the night, suddenly in a dream came a beautiful ghost sister to do shameful things with him. One day he pretended to be asleep, and when the ghost girl came, he opened his eyes, and it turned out not to be a dream, it was true.
The girl, who claimed to be named Wu Qiuyue, was once the daughter of a confucian name, and died when she was 15 years old, and now 30 years have passed. It is said that after his death that year, his father carved a stone slab next to the coffin - "Female Autumn Moon, buried without a grave, thirty years, married Wang Ding". Now this Wang Ding happened to be living nearby, so he came to look for him.
Wang Ding saw that the girl was beautiful and naturally liked it, so they were together. One night, they admired the moon together and asked Wu Qiuyue, "Is there a city in the Yin Cao Prefecture?" "Wu Qiuyue said yes, just three or four miles away, where the night is used as daytime, let's go and see it together."
The two went to see it together. He was walking in the city when he suddenly saw his brother Wang Nai being escorted by two meditators. Wang Nai said that he did not know why he was arrested, and said that he had been asked for a bribe by the underworld. Wang Ding was also a violent temper, saying that my brother was a famous scholar who knew the book and served a rite, how could the Yin Cao Difu bully him like this? Pulling out his knife, he killed the two servants on the spot.
This frightened Wu Qiu. How did you get it when you killed the officials of Hades? Hurry up and find a boat to go north, go home and hide, don't take off the tip, and after seven days you will be fine. Wang Ding hurried home with his brother, and sure enough, he saw many people mourning, and it turned out that his brother had been dead for two days. A little while after returning home, my brother came back to life. So I closed the door and waited. Seven days later, when the door was opened again, relatives and friends found that Wang Nai had actually come back from the dead, and they all felt strange. The family had to make up some words to cover up.
It was said that Wang Ding missed Wu Qiuyue very much, so he went south to the building where he lived before. Just as she was about to fall asleep at night, a woman came and said that because Wang Ding killed the officials and snatched Wang Nai, Wu Qiuyue was arrested on the spot by the Underworld Underworld, and now she is locked up, and she thinks about you every day. Wang Ding was furious when he heard this, and followed the woman to hades on the spot.
Finding Wu Qiuyue, she was sure to be up, and the two servants were flirting with her. Wang Ding rushed in, slashed one by one, and ran away with Wu Qiuyue. Of course, Wang Ding woke up in the old building, and Wu Qiuyue stood by the bed. Wu Qiuyue said that you didn't dream, you just saved me.
Wu Qiuyue said that this was over, it was supposed to be at the end of the month before I could be resurrected, now it must be advanced, you go dig me out, paste this charm, get home to call me every day, and you can be resurrected in three days. It's just that the bones are not strong enough, and I am afraid that I can't help you with housework.
Wang Ding found the place Wu Qiuyue said, dug up the grave, and sure enough, he found her body, and it was as if she were still alive. So I took it home, wrapped it in a futon, kept calling her name, and slept in her arms at night. After three days, I woke up and was able to walk after seven days. It is like Lin Daiyu's body is a little weak, but it is also in line with the kind of weak and uncontrollable wind that the ancient literati liked.
If you read this story as a love story, it is the loyal love of the earth-shattering weeping ghost god, for love, Wang Ding even dares to break into the Yin Cao Mansion, even the officials in the underworld dare to kill, and dare to dig up the corpse, holding the corpse to warm her, it can be said that the sky is not afraid. Compared to Ning Caichen's rescue of Nie Xiaoqian from the "ghost brothel", it was not inferior at all.
But when you really look closely, this story is still an allusion to the injustice of society and the spirit of people who dare to resist. As Pu Songling said: "The law of Yu Yu's desire: 'Whoever kills a public servant, the sin is reduced to the third degree', and there is no one in this generation who cannot be killed." Therefore, those who can be cursed to serve are Xun Liang. That is, a little harsh, can not be described as abuse. There is no definite law in the middle of the world, if there are evil people, knives and saws, do not think it is cool. If the heart is happy, it is the good of the king of Pluto. Is it a sin that causes the pursuit of the underworld, and can escape fortunately? "It is said that the killing of corrupt officials and corrupt officials can be reduced by three degrees, because those who dare to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials are good people." There was no law in Hades, so why did people get caught when they got to Hades, and they got away with it?
