Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Meng Longtan, Jiangxi, lived in Kyoto with his friend Zhu Xiaolian.

This day, the two of them went out to play, and occasionally went to a temple, and the temple and meditation house were not very spacious.The incense in the temple is not strong, and there are few monks, only one old monk is inside to place an order.

When the old monk saw a guest coming, he dressed up and came out to greet him. He led two scholars around and pointed out the scenery.After a while, they came to a large hall.

The hall is clean and dust-free. There is a statue of Baozhi monk in the middle, and there are murals painted on the walls on both sides, which are lifelike.

In the mural on the east side, there is a celestial girl with scattered flowers, with a graceful appearance, all of which are absolutely beautiful. Among them, a girl with long hair is smiling with flowers, her lips are moving, and her eyes are flowing, which is even more beautiful.

Zhu Sheng stared at it for a long time, but he didn't feel distracted, his thoughts were endless, and he was dreaming.All of a sudden, his body floated like a cloud, and before he knew it, he flew to the wall and got into the painting.

Looking intently, I saw that the place was a grand hall with many attics, solemn and solemn.An old monk in the hall sat on a futon and preached the Dharma, and there were many people listening to it. At a glance, there were hundreds or thousands of people.Zhu Sheng was also among the crowd, standing in a daze.

After a while, I suddenly felt that the corner of my clothes was being gently pulled, and when I looked back, there was a beautiful woman in front of me, smiling sweetly at me, it was none other than the flower-picking girl in the picture.

The young girl was still ashamed to speak, but suddenly she smiled softly, moved her steps, and went by herself.

This smile only hooked Zhu Sheng's three souls and seven souls away, and immediately chased after him without thinking.Walk through several corridors and winding rails, and gradually walk to a small house.Although Zhu Sheng had evil thoughts in his heart, he didn't dare to act rashly. He stopped and hesitated in front of the door, losing his mind for a while.

Seeing that Zhu Sheng was hesitating, the girl held a flower with her fingertips and waved away, meaning to say, "What are you waiting for? Come quickly."

Zhu Sheng understood, his heart was full of joy, he followed the girl and walked into the house.

The room is clean, with a wooden bed and brocade quilt soft pillows, emitting bursts of fragrance from time to time.The girl went to the bed and sat down, looked at Zhu Sheng, said nothing, just smiled, her eyes were like water, full of spring.

A beautiful woman is like jade, Zhu Sheng only feels that the jade is burning his body, a lonely man and a widow, how can you be polite?Immediately, he hugged the woman into his arms, touched and scratched, wantonly and frivolously.

The young girl didn't resist either, the two of them came and went, spending Wushan together in an instant, having a lot of sex, they don't know when it will be.

After the matter was over, the girl told Zhu Sheng, "Stay here well, don't move around, and don't make any noise. I'll come and see you at night." Saying that, she closed the door and window, said goodbye and left.

It was night, and the girl really came to the appointment again, and the two of them had a lingering relationship, which was nothing to worry about.

After two or three days like this, Riri was happy, things would inevitably leak out, the girl companions were aware of it, and they all went to the house to search, just in time to catch Zhu Sheng.

The affair was revealed, Zhu Sheng was embarrassed, and the girl was also shy.

The fairies joked: "If you don't pay attention, our good sister has changed from a young girl to a young woman. Maybe she has children. Well, since my sister has become another woman, her hair style has to be changed."

After speaking, all the female companions couldn't help but combed the girl's bun, put on hairpins, and put on earrings.The girl was at the mercy of her companions, and she didn't dare to speak, but her face turned even redder.

After working for a while, a woman said: "Sisters, don't stand in the way. The couple are newlyweds, so don't delay their business. Otherwise, someone will be angry." All the girls laughed and scattered.

After everyone left, Zhu Sheng saw that the girl had changed her hairstyle. The original hair hung down her shoulders, but now the cloud bun was so high that it added a touch of maturity and charm. Second degree**.

While he was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard the sound of boots rattling and iron chains clanging, followed by a chaotic noise, interspersed with yelling and cursing, the noise kept ringing.

The girl woke up, and went to peek under the window with the scholar, only to see a golden armored messenger, with a black face, chained, holding a hammer, full of anger, surrounded by fairies, looking terrified.

The messenger asked, "Is everything here?"

All the fairies replied, "It's all here."

The messenger said: "I haven't been here for a long time, have you hidden mortal men? Be sure to tell the truth, lest you ask for trouble."

All the women said: "There is absolutely no such thing."

The messenger didn't believe it, looked around, and seemed to get up and search.The girl was terrified, her face was ashen, and she hurriedly told Zhu Sheng to "hide under the bed." While speaking, she walked to the window, opened it, and jumped out.

Zhu Sheng hid under the bed as he said, holding his breath and concentrating, not daring to move.

In a short while, the leather boots were kicking, the messenger had already entered the house, rummaged through the boxes, and searched randomly, Zhu Sheng was terrified and dared not breathe lightly.Fortunately, the envoy didn't search carefully, so he turned around in a hurry, and then left. Zhu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

Listening attentively, the noise outside the house is still there, the conversation is endless, Zhu Sheng stayed under the bed for a long time, his knees are numb, his ears are buzzing, his eyes are burning, he is very uncomfortable, but he dare not move, so he has to wait patiently , Waiting for the girl to return.

After a long time, Zhu Sheng became dizzy and his memory was blurred. He completely forgot where he came from.

At that time, Meng Longtan was admiring the murals in the temple, but he didn't see his companion in a blink of an eye, so he hurriedly asked the old monk, "Where did Brother Zhu go?"

The old monk said with a smile: "Zhu Tanyue went to listen to Buddhism."

Meng Longtan asked, "Where can I listen to Buddhism?"

The old monk smiled, "It's not far away." While talking, he pointed to the wall and called out, "Benefactor Zhu, why didn't you come back after a long journey?" Before he finished speaking, a portrait of Zhu Sheng appeared on the wall, as if he was listening carefully, as if he had heard something.

The old monk called again, "Come back quickly, my companions have been waiting for a long time."

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Sheng floated to the ground from between the walls, still in shock, his face was like a haggard tree, and his appearance was very embarrassing.

Meng Longtan was horrified, and hurriedly asked why.

It turned out that Zhu Sheng was hiding under the bed, when suddenly he heard the old monk calling, the voice was like thunder, he went outside the door to listen, for some reason, he returned to the temple in a blink of an eye.

The old monk smiled and said nothing, pointed at the mural painting, and the direction of his fingertips happened to land on the girl. Zhu Sheng followed the monk's gestures and looked at it, and was immediately terrified: the girl in the painting was originally a young boy with long hair, but now she has become a young woman with a high bun. , exactly the same as what was seen in the room.Surprised and bewildered, he quickly knelt down and asked the old monk for advice.

The old monk said with a smile: "Illusions are born from the heart, how can poor people solve them!"

When Zhu Sheng heard the words, he didn't realize anything. Seeing the old monk playing tricks, he couldn't help but get angry and depressed.Meng Longtan was also puzzled, not knowing why.Shaking his head, he stretched out his hand to support Zhu Sheng, and stepped on the rock.
