Chapter 229 The Monk’s Alchemy
Once upon a time, there was a monk who traveled far and wide.
On this day, the monk arrived at Jiaohe County (here refers to Jiaohe County in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, not the old city of Jiaohe in Turpan, Xinjiang) and stayed at the home of Su Cigong, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
He is good at Fangshu (referring to Fangshu and Shushu, the predecessor of Taoism. The so-called Fangshu refers to: Medical Classics, Jingfang, Immortal Skills, Fangzhongshu, etc. in ancient times; and the so-called Shushu refers to: Yin and Yang in ancient times. The Five Elements and Bagua produce restrained mathematics, etc.), with endless changes, claiming to be the same disciple as Taoist Lu (mentioned in the previous chapter, this person is good at psychedelics.).
On this day, Su Cigong's family hosted a banquet for guests, and everyone wanted to see the monk's magic.
The monk didn't refuse either.
I saw him ordering the servants of the Su family to fetch a small pile of soil, and he added water. Mix well and shape the mud into a pig shape.
The monk recited a mantra, and the pig made of mud seemed to come alive and slowly began to squirm;
The monk recited another incantation, and the mud pig actually made a sound;
The monk recited the incantation again, and the pig started running full of life.
He gave the pig to the chef and asked him to kill it and cook it for the guests.
The pig is no different from an ordinary pig, with flesh and blood. However, after the pork was cooked, it didn't taste very good and had a bit of an earthy smell.
After eating the pork, the guests all vomited and the vomited out was full of mud.
Everyone was astonished.
Among the guests was a scholar. Because he lived far away and it started to rain outside, he stayed at Mr. Su's house.
In the evening, the scholar lived with the monk.
He asked secretly: "I saw "Taiping Guangji" (China's first collection of documentary novels in classical Chinese. It brings together a large number of strange anecdotes, historical allusions and various legends. It is an important document in the history of Chinese literature. ([-].), there is an article recording that a warlock took a piece of tile, chanted a spell on it and gave it to someone else. The other person used the piece of tile to scratch the wall, and the wall immediately opened. And then that A person can secretly enter a woman's boudoir. I wonder if the master's magic can reach this level?"
The monk asked with a smile: "Do you have any girl you like and want to go to have a private meeting?"
The scholar denied it and said hurriedly: "No, no! I am mainly curious about the spells recorded in the book.
The monk said: "What's so difficult about this? Now I'll let you see it!"
With that said, the monk went outside and picked up a piece of tile, then walked back into the room and chanted a spell on the tile for a long time.
Then he handed it to the scholar and said: "That's it! Take this piece of tile outside and try it. But don't speak. Once you speak, the spell will not work."
The scholar took the tile. I ran to the wall in the courtyard and tried it. Sure enough, the wall was opened.
The scholar was very happy. It happened that the rain had stopped. He hurried to a place, took out the tiles, and scratched the wall of the room. There was a big crack in the wall of the room, and a beautiful woman was seen taking off her makeup and getting ready to go to bed.
It turned out that the scholar passed by here one day and accidentally saw this beautiful woman looking out of the window.
The scholar was immediately astonished and felt that she was like Cui Yingying in "The Romance of the West Chamber". From then on, she thought about her day and night, worrying about her.
Although he had the intention of climbing over the wall and meeting her, he suffered from the fact that he was a weak scholar and there was no matchmaker to carry the ladder for him, so he had no affection but could do nothing.
Now that he saw the monk's magic, he deceived the tiles that condensed the magic power, and finally got what he wanted.
The scholar remembered the monk's warning and did not dare to speak. He went straight forward, hugged the woman, went to bed with her, and became intimate with her.
The woman was also in a state of love, and she happily responded and chatted with him.
The two of them had a fierce fire, letting go as much as they wanted, and when they were tired from playing, they fell asleep together.
After sleeping for an unknown length of time, the scholar suddenly woke up. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying on the bed at home, and the woman beside him turned out to be his.
Both of them were very surprised and couldn't help asking each other what was going on.
At this moment, the monk suddenly came to the door and scolded the scholar: "At the beginning, Taoist Lu was greedy for beauty. Because of a mistake, he used illusion magic to rape the nobleman's concubine, and was killed by thunder.
Spells cannot be used to do evil things. Are you doing this because you want to cause me to be punished by God? !
I used a little trick just to let you see it. I didn’t expect you and I made such a big joke and actually used it to have an affair with someone else’s girl!
Fortunately, I discovered it early and used magic to bring you home, so that your great virtue was not compromised! You must never have such evil thoughts in the future! "
The scholar was so frightened that he begged for mercy.
The monk pondered for a moment, sighed and said, "Fortunately, you didn't make a big mistake this time. However, because of your evil thoughts, the commander of the underworld has recorded them. Although you will not be severely punished, it will have a negative impact on your future career. There will still be an impact.”
Later, the scholar's life turned out to be a rough one. He got a post as a lecturer in his later years. He was in poverty until his death.
