Knife labor ghost

There is a kind of monster in the mountains of Rincheon County, and when they come, they often make a long sound because of the fierce storm, and they can shoot people. The place where they shot them swelled up in a moment and was very poisonous. This monster has both females and males, and is poisoned by male shots quickly and slowly by female shots. The fastest toxicity does not take more than half a day to die, and the slow toxicity can live overnight. The people on the side of the mountain often had a way to rescue people who had been shot by monsters, and if they were rescued a little later, the injured people died. The people call this monster a "knife laborer." Therefore, the wild book says: "Ghosts and gods are things that spread out and are verified in society." Lao Tzu said, "In the past, those who received one (referring to the "Tao") were: the heavens were one and refreshing, and the earth was one and peaceful; God received a page of spiritual enlightenment, and the deep valley was filled with one; and when the prince obtained one, he could become the ruler of the world." "From this point of view, the heavens and the earth, ghosts, and gods are all things that coexist with us." If there is a difference in temperament, then nature is different, and if there is a difference in the realm, then the form is different, and nothing can have a different natural form. The living things are dominated by yang qi, the dead things are dominated by yin qi, and the things that nature depends on each rest in the place where they live. In the midst of the extreme yin qi, the monster lives in it.

Cure birds

There is a bird in the deep mountains around The Kingdom of Vietnam, the size of a dove, blue color, called "smelting bird". They make holes in the village, and the hole is like a container of five or six liters, the diameter of the cave entrance is several inches, and the area around the cave is decorated with a small embankment of mud, and the red and white on the mud are separated from each other, and the shape is like an arrow target used in archery. Those who cut down trees see this tree and avoid it. Sometimes when it's dark people can't see the bird, and the bird knows that people can't see it, so they call out to the person, "Duh, go up." "Tomorrow we should hurry up and cut it down." If the bird calls out and says, "Duh, duh, go down." "Tomorrow we should hurry up to the bottom and cut down." If the bird doesn't let you go up or down, just talks and laughs, people can stop cutting. If something filthy and filthy gets to the place where it dwells, then there are tigers who keep watch all night, and if people don't leave, tigers will hurt people. This kind of bird, who sees its shape during the day, is a bird; when they hear its song at night, they are also birds; sometimes when they go out to watch and play, they become human, three feet long, and go to the mountain stream to catch the stone crab, put it on the fire and eat it, at this time people must not offend them. The people of Yueguo say that this kind of Wu is the ancestor of the Yueguo Wuzhu.

Fish people

Nourished by the base

The king of Chu was playing in the garden, and there was a white ape there. The King of Chu ordered those who were good at archery to shoot it. Several arrows were fired, only to see the white ape take the arrows and giggle. The King of Chu ordered Yang Yuji to shoot. As soon as Yuki picked up his bow, the ape began to cry as he hugged the tree. In the Warring States period, Gengyun said to the King of Wei, "I can pull the bow string and shoot the bird down without firing an arrow." King Wei said, "Can your archery skills really reach this point?" He said, "Yes." "For a moment: When I heard the geese coming from the east, I pulled the bowstring even more weakly and did not shoot arrows, and the geese planted down.

trouble

Emperor Wudi of han went to the east to visit, and before he could leave Hangu Pass, a monster blocked the way, the monster was several feet long, shaped like an ox, with blue eyes, shining eyes, and four feet inserted into the dirt, although it was moving but did not move position. The officials were shocked and frightened. Dongfang Shuo then came out and asked to pour it with wine. Pour it dozens of wine, and the monster disappears. Emperor Wu of Han asked Dongfang Shuo what was the reason for this. Dongfang Shuo replied, "The name of this monster is Affliction, which is the result of sorrow and grievance. This must be the location of the prison in the Qin Kingdom. If it is not the seat of the prison, then it must be a place where prisoners live in hard labor. Wine can be used to forget sorrow, so it can be eliminated. Emperor Wu of Han said, "Ah! A well-informed talent has reached such a point! ”
