Chapter 225 The Fox Fairy Fights for the House
According to legend, in the Qing Dynasty, there was a censor named Ye Luting (a general term for the prosecutor in charge in ancient times, equivalent to the current prosecutor general of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection). For some reason, his family In the house, a fox fairy suddenly caused trouble.
This fox fairy was so arrogant that he dared to come out and shout at the Ye family in broad daylight, forcing Ye Luting to give up his house for them to live in.
As an important minister of the imperial court, Ye Luting certainly could not agree. He simply ignored Fox Fairy's unreasonable request.
Then, the fox fairy began to cause trouble. Every day, he harasses and makes fun of the Ye family in the Ye family's house.
So much so that the Ye family was restless all day long.
You can often see the cups and dishes flying in the air on their own; the tables, chairs and beds at home often move on their own.
Ye Luting couldn't bear the disturbance, so he wrote to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, telling the Taoist priest Zhang Zhenren on the mountain about the fox fairy in his family, and asked Zhenren Zhang to come down from the mountain to kill the fox fairy and restore peace to the Ye family.
Zhang Zhenren agreed. But during this period of time, he was practicing in seclusion on the mountain and could not come down.
The Ye family's matters were urgent and could not be delayed.
Zhang Zhenren appointed one of his judges (the judge here is the name for the Taoist priests who practice magic in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain Taoism) to go down the mountain to handle the matter.
After the judge came to the Ye family's house, he first drew a talisman.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the talisman was posted, it would be torn apart by the fox fairy.
So, the judge wrote another ultimatum, filed a lawsuit directly with the Capital City God Temple (the highest-level Chenghuang Temple in the country), and burned the ultimatum to King Chenghuang, but it didn't work.
Seeing this situation, Ye Luting couldn't help but feel worried. He was afraid that the judge did not have enough magic power to subdue the fox fairy.
The judge said: "This fox fairy has a lot of background and magic power. He must be a fox from heaven who came down to earth! It seems that he must write a memorial to the Jade Emperor in heaven."
Ye Luting didn't know what to do.
The judge said: "Master Ye, don't worry, just watch what I do for seven days!"
Therefore, Ye Luting prepared all the application tools in accordance with the judge's requirements, and the judge was ready to set up a seven-day dojo.
In the previous three days, the fox fairy showed no fear and kept mocking and cursing the Ye family and the judge.
On the fourth day, the fox fairy suddenly softened, spoke kind words, and asked for reconciliation.
Ye Luting was afraid that the Fox Immortal would come back for revenge, so he did not want to have too much hatred with the Fox Immortal, so he agreed to reconcile with the Fox Immortal and asked the judge to stop embarrassment to the Fox Immortal.
But the judge said: "The memorial has been sent to the upper realm of heaven and can't be traced back! The ritual can't be stopped and can only continue!"
Ye Luting had no choice but to continue the dojo as it happened.
On the morning of the seventh day, the Ye family suddenly heard bursts of "bang bang bang bang" fighting sounds coming from the yard, which caused the doors and windows to be broken and fell to the ground.
The fighting continued until dusk, and the sounds of fighting had not subsided.
The judge saw that his own magic power alone was not enough to subdue the fox fairy.
So he wrote another appeal, asking other gods to come to help in the battle.
Only then did he finally capture the fox fairy.
The judge found a bottle with a big belly and a small mouth, put the fox fairy in it, and then buried it outside Guangqumen.
From then on, the Ye Luting family's house became peaceful, and there was no more trouble from the fox fairy.
Mr. Ji Xiaolan once went to Longhu Mountain to find Zhenren Zhang and asked them why Taoism can drive away ghosts and conquer gods.
Zhang Zhenren said: "I don't know the reason, it's just that it is implemented according to the law. I have also discussed the mystery, and it may be like this: ghosts and gods are all under the control of the seal, while the talisman is in the hands of the judge.
The real person is like a chief, and the judge is like a petty official. Real people and judges complement each other. If the real person is separated from the judge, the talisman cannot be used; and if the judge does not have the seal of the real person, the talisman will not be effective.
Some talismans are effective and some are not, just like the official memorials, some are approved and some are rejected. The government's decrees cannot be fully implemented, so every talisman of the judge cannot be so effective. "
These words sound reasonable.
Mr. Ji Xiaolan asked Master Zhang again: "If you suddenly encounter fox spirits and ghosts in an empty house or in the mountains, can you subdue them?"
Zhang Zhenren said: "Let me give you an analogy: when a real person encounters a monster, it is like a high official meeting a robber! Generally speaking, when a high official passes by the places you mentioned and encounters a robber, the robber will of course avoid it. hide.
However, if some of these robbers are ignorant and needlessly bold, they are not afraid to hide and insist on offending high officials. Although the high officials claimed to have military power, they had no time to recruit soldiers, and they had no choice but to deal with the offences of the bandits. Therefore, real people cannot always subdue monsters. "
Mr. Ji Xiaolan felt that what Mr. Zhang said was very true.
From this point of view, most of the magical legends in this world are far-fetched!
