Chapter 235 The Heavenly Master passes away and returns to peace
Once upon a time, there was a folk legend that Master Zhang Tianshi was only in Gui'an County. That means. Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain did not go to Gui'an County (Gui'an County is an ancient place name. It belongs to the current Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. In the early years of the Republic of China, the county name was revoked and merged with Wucheng County to form the current Wuxing County.) County.
In fact, Zhang Tianshi had been to Gui'an County before. As for why he didn't go there later, it wasn't for no reason. There was a hidden secret.
It is said that in the Ming Dynasty, a certain person, the magistrate of Gui'an County, went to bed with his wife one night six months after he took office.
Sleeping until midnight, the magistrate was suddenly awakened by a noise. Listening carefully, it turned out that there was a sound of banging on the door outside.
The magistrate quickly got up and went outside to check.
After a while, the magistrate's wife felt vaguely that someone had returned to the bed.
The wife did not open her eyes, but asked vaguely: "Is someone knocking on our door?"
The man said to his wife: "There is no one, it's just the wind blowing outside and the door rattling. There's nothing strange about it. You can sleep peacefully."
The wife didn't think much about it, thinking that her husband had gone out for a while and then came back, still holding him to sleep together.
However, the magistrate's wife often felt that her husband had a fishy smell. Although she had some doubts in her heart, she didn't say anything more.
However, since then, the county magistrate seems to have been replaced by another person, and Gui'an County has been governed very well by him. In matters such as cases and lawsuits, his judgments are very accurate, as clear as a god.
A few years later, Zhang Tianshi from Longhu Mountain traveled through Gui'an County.
I don’t know why, but the magistrate of Gui’an County didn’t dare to greet him.
After Zhang Tianshi stayed at the post house, he suddenly frowned and said, "There is a demonic spirit in this county!"
Zhang Tianshi calculated with his fingers and found that the problem lay with the magistrate of Gui'an County.
So, he ordered someone to call the county magistrate's wife and asked her: "Do you still remember that on a certain night of a certain month in a certain year, did you have a door knock at your house?"
The magistrate's wife recalled it and said, "It's true. I still remember that after the sound of banging on the door sounded that night, my husband got up to check."
Zhang Tianshi said: "That's right! The current magistrate is no longer your husband!"
The magistrate's wife was immediately shocked and asked with a trembling voice: "What is going on? Where has my husband gone?"
Zhang Tianshi said: "The current magistrate is a black fish spirit. Your husband banged on the door that night, and when he went out to check, he had already been eaten by him. This black fish spirit changed into the appearance of your husband, so you never noticed it. .”
When the county magistrate's wife heard this, she remembered that her husband's body often smelled like fish since that night, and she immediately believed what Zhang Tianshi said.
When I thought about it again, I realized that the person who slept with me every day was actually a black fish spirit, and I couldn't help but feel terrified.
The wife of the county magistrate immediately knelt down and begged Zhang Tianshi to avenge her husband.
Zhang Tianshi said: "It is our duty as Taoists to kill demons and eliminate harm for the people! I will avenge you right now!"
After finishing speaking, Master Zhang ordered his men to prepare all the application materials and set up the altar. He also sent someone to call the magistrate of Gui'an County.
Then Zhang Tianshi began to perform rituals on the altar.
I saw him mutter something in his mouth, then pointed his finger at Zhixian and shouted: "Monster! You haven't shown your true colors yet!"
The magistrate was startled, and immediately fell to the ground, and slowly his original shape emerged. It was indeed a very big black fish, several feet long, lying on the ground under the altar, not daring to move.
Zhang Tianshi said sternly: "Monster! You should be executed for your crimes! However, when you were the county magistrate in the past few years, you were quite good in governance, so I am exempting you from the death penalty!"
Zhang Tianshi ordered someone to fetch a large jar, put the black fish in it, seal the mouth of the jar with yellow paper drawing symbols, and bury it under the hall, and then built a public case with earth to suppress it.
The black fish spirit begged Zhang Tianshi to let it go.
Zhang Tianshi said: "It's not impossible. Just think about it down here, and I will release you the next time I pass by here."
However, from then on, Zhang Tianshi never passed through Gui'an County again.
Maybe it's because he doesn't want to let go of the black fish essence!
