Retribution
During the Ming Dynasty, Diao, a pawn of Suzhou Caoyun, was imprisoned for a minor crime, and was later spared. After being released from prison, he suddenly became rich, and was promoted to the captain of the pawn squad, transporting grain to Beijing. On his way back to Suzhou after the mission, he was drinking on the ship with his companions, when he suddenly spoke in a foreign dialect, glared and gritted his teeth and cursed, and wanted to commit suicide.
Everyone was very strange and asked him why. He (actually a possessed ghost) said, "I'm a robber. When I was detained in prison with Diao, I talked speculatively, and I told him: 'My case is definitely not alive, I have a lot of money and treasures, hidden in a certain place and place, you can take them all, bury the body for me, and help my wife and son.' Ding agreed. When he was released, he took out all the money he had hidden and put it in his pocket according to my instructions, and bribed the jailer to kill me quickly. This grievance dragged on for several years, and today he found an opportunity, and there is absolutely no reason to let him go. ”
Then, Diao beat himself furiously, with great strength and could not stop it. The crowd was terrified and begged, "Your words are very reasonable, and we dare not resolve this grudge on your behalf." But a few of us entered the capital together, and when we returned to Suzhou, we died alone, the cause of death is not clear, how to explain? And things have been dragging on for a long time, why not delay a little, and it is not too late to ask him for his life when he gets home. ”
Diao nodded, and then passed out, as if drunk. When he woke up and interviewed, he didn't know anything. Everyone was very scared and warned each other not to tell Diao what happened just now, but just urged to hurry overnight.
Within a few days of arriving in Suzhou, people said that Diao was crazy. When the people who accompanied him went to visit together, he repeated what he had said before, and said it in more detail. Then he ran into the street and gouged out his own eyes and died.
While on the ship, someone once asked the possessed ghost: "Why did you take revenge after a few years?" The ghost sighed and said, "After I die, my soul is imprisoned in prison and cannot come out." Now that the new Son of Heaven has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, the gods have released me and allowed me to take revenge. "It was Longqing Chuyuan. Zhang Boqi from Suzhou witnessed this incident with his own eyes and told me in detail about the whole process.
There is also a person surnamed Gu in Suzhou, who governs the family very strictly. A servant embezzled his money, and Gu tortured him, and the servant died of torture.
Gu had a doorman who had befriended this servant, and he saw the servant one day while walking in the city. The doorman asked in horror: "Aren't you dead?" How is it here? ”
The servant clapped his hands and smiled: "After years of surrendering to Hades, the underworld official lost his temper, saying that suing the master with slavery was a great disobedience, and I was tortured and punished very hard." Recently, I met a certain land god, and he complained on my behalf that he had already been allowed. ”
This doorman was very surprised, and came back to find a certain place, which turned out to be a communal temple here. Gu has usurped this land as private property, and the small land temple has been torn down for more than a month.
The doorman understood that this was a personal vendetta of the land god, who used the servant's affairs to vent his anger. But taking care of someone who is strong and healthy, I don't know what will happen.
A few days later, Gu suddenly fell ill and died after a few days in bed. "Wanliye Edited"
Cheongkei Temple God
Scholar Zhao lives in Qingxi Bridge, autumn night, the moonlight is like frost, he misses his relatives in his hometown, standing at the door and singing "Xiwu Night Fly", his voice is mournful. (Xiwu Yefei is a poem about husband and wife's love.) ）
Suddenly, a young maid entered the courtyard, and she said to Zhao: "My lady heard Lang Jun's singing and wanted to come to visit. Zhao agreed.
After a while, a woman in her twenties came, with light steps, graceful and gentle, followed by two handmaids. The woman said: "I am Lang Jun's eastern neighbor, walking under the moon, listening to Jun's song of sorrow, and I have come to meet." Can you sing another song? Zhao sang another song "Grass Rock".
The woman also asked the maid to take out the flute and play, and as the hoop sounded, the woman sang: "The wind blows at dusk, and the leaves fall to the branches." Dan was heartbroken, and Jun was unknown. Sing the frost, invade the curtain, what does it mean to stay empty, sit and wait for the frost to fall. (The flute is an ancient stringed instrument, and the content sung by the woman is called "Qingxi Little Sister's Word", which is roughly to the effect of a cryptic expression to be good with Zhao.) ）
After that, the maid retired, the two shared a bed, and the woman left at four o'clock, giving Zhao a gold bowl, and Zhao gave a silver bowl in return.
The next day, Zhao happened to visit Qingxi Temple and saw the silver bowl on the table in front of the statue. Take a closer look at the statue of the goddess, it is the woman last night, and the maid next to it is the maid who first entered the courtyard.
The story comes from "Search for God", people and gods love each other, most of them are goddesses who adore men in the world, and this story is also such a plot. What is different is that the Qingxi goddess was moved by Zhao's homesickness, and they got together for one night and never appeared again.
Woman in Green
A certain scholar lived in the temple to study quietly, and while chanting at night, a woman outside the window praised: "What a diligent Xianggong!" The scholar was a little puzzled, the woman outside the window had already pushed the door in, green clothes and long skirts, light and beautiful.
The scholar suspected that she was a demon and asked for the name of the residence. The woman didn't answer, and said with a smile: "I'm not a man-eating monster." The scholar liked her beauty, so he stopped asking questions and slept with her.
The woman in green often came from then on, and once, when the scholar asked her to sing a song, the woman first looked outside the house, and then gently slapped the table and sang: "The black bird on the tree, the slave is scattered in the night." Don't complain about the wet embroidered shoes, just fear that Lang has no companion. "The sound is very small, and it is gentle to listen to.
When the night lingered, the woman in green said: "Tonight is always palpitating, I'm afraid it's not a good omen, am I going to die?" The scholar said comfortingly, and the woman was always happy.
When she left, she was very frightened and asked the scholar to send her out of the room and told her to leave. Turning the corner, the woman disappeared, and the scholar was about to return to the room when he suddenly heard a cry for help. He ran to the corner but found nothing. Listen carefully, the sound of a call for help is still there, only very small, it seems to come from under the eaves.
Looking carefully, the cobwebs under the eaves stuck to a green thin-waisted bee, and a large spider was wrapping spider silk around the green bee. The scholar rescued the green bee and put it on the desk. After a long time, the green bee recovered, crawled into the inkstone platform, crawled on the table, walked out of a "thanks" character, fluttered its wings a few times, and flew away from the window.
Since then, the woman in green has not appeared again.
