Chapter 191 Prostitute Cultivating Immortality
Chapter 191 Prostitute Cultivating Immortality
There is a Yunai Peak behind the mountain of Suzhou Xiqi Mountain (located in Guangfu District, Suzhou City, on the shore of Taihu Lake.).
According to legend, there are traces of many immortals on Yun'ai Peak. If you can sacrifice your life to climb up, you can become an immortal without dying.
It is said that during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar named Wang in Suzhou who took the imperial examinations many times but failed all of them. I couldn't help but feel discouraged and no longer wanted to study to seek fame.
So, he made up his mind to cultivate immortality.
After Wang said goodbye to his family, he went to Xiqi Mountain to climb Yun'ai Peak alone with dry food.
He kept climbing and found that he came to a flat and open place, probably as big as hundreds of acres of land. The surrounding trees are lush and towering into the clouds.
Wang vaguely saw a woman on the edge of the cliff in the distance. Her clothes were no different from those of women in the world.
The woman was wandering alone in the woods.
Wang Sheng couldn't help but wonder in his heart, how could there be a woman playing alone in this barren mountain? Could it be the legendary immortal?
So, he quickened his pace and walked forward, trying to figure it out.
At this time, the woman also walked out of the woods and looked towards him.
When the two parties got closer, Wang Sheng recognized him. It turned out to be an acquaintance!
This woman is Xie Qiongniang, a famous prostitute in Suzhou whom I had an affair with six or seven years ago.
Xie Qiongniang also recognized Wang. She met her old acquaintance in the mountains, and she was very happy.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, Xie Qiongniang took Wang Sheng to the thatched house where she lived.
The thatched house has no door, and the ground inside the house is covered with pine needles, about several feet thick. When your feet step on it, it is very soft and comfortable.
Wang asked Xie Qiongniang curiously: "Why do you live alone in this place? Have you become an immortal?"
Xie Qiongniang said: "It's a long story! Ever since I parted ways with my husband that day, I have been captured by the prefect Wang!"
Wang said: "You didn't break the law, right? Why did he want to arrest you?"
Xie Qiongniang said: "When Mr. Wang was trying to rectify the social atmosphere, he first targeted us brothel girls!"
Wang asked again: "You were arrested by the government, why are you here again? Shouldn't you be in a prison?"
Xie Qiongniang sighed and said: "After Mr. Wang caught me, he took off all my clothes and tortured me. The flesh on my buttocks was beaten to pieces. After he punished me, he made me pay a fine of silver, and then he I let it go.
I thought that I was originally as beautiful as a flower, but I was so humiliated and ended up in this field! I felt that I had no face to live in this world anymore, so I decided to find a place to commit suicide. "
Although Wang saw Xie Qiongniang alive in front of him, her words brought him to the scene at that time, and he couldn't help shouting: "No, no!"
Xie Qiongniang smiled and said, "Don't be anxious, Sir. I'm here well, aren't I?"
Wang said embarrassedly: "Aren't I worried about you? You won't really commit suicide, right?"
Xie Qiongniang said: "At that time, I was really ready to commit suicide! I made an excuse, saying that I wanted to go up the mountain to offer incense. After saying goodbye to the madam, I came to the cliff in the mountain and jumped off with all my strength. Maybe it was me My life should not have been cut off, but I didn’t expect to be entangled in vines when I fell, but I didn’t fall to my death!”
Wang seemed to be immersed in the scene and kept saying: "What a danger! What a danger!"
Xie Qiongniang ignored him and continued to talk to herself: "An old lady with white hair saved me. After learning about my situation, she asked me not to commit suicide and to cultivate immortality with her. I agreed.
So, she fed me pine flowers and taught me how to practice Qi. Soon, I no longer felt hungry even if I didn’t eat; I didn’t feel cold even if I didn’t wear cotton-padded clothes in winter.
At the beginning, I was still afraid of strong winds and scorching sun. After practicing for a year, I am no longer afraid of rain, dew, wind, frost.
That old lady lived in Qianshan and we often interacted with her. Yesterday the old lady came to my place again and told me that I would meet my old friend today! So, I took a walk in the woods to see who was coming. Unexpectedly, I saw Lang Jun. "
Wang said enviously: "You have become an immortal through cultivation!"
Xie Qiongniang smiled, noncommittal, and then asked Wang Sheng, "Is that Wang Taishou dead?"
Wang said: "I don't know. However, you have become an immortal, do you still want to seek revenge from him?"
Xie Qiongniang said: "If I hadn't been provoked by Mr. Wang, how could I have come here to cultivate immortality? I can achieve what I have today. I should thank him instead of retaliating against him. But the old lady told me: 'I went there by chance. In the heavenly court, I saw that Wang Taishou, who tortured you, was cited for his sins by the gods and his body was flogged. 'That's why I doubted whether he was dead."
Wang Sheng asked: "What is Master Wang's crime? Shouldn't prostitutes be punished with a cane?"
Xie Qiongniang said: "Those who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade but are not moved are saints; those who pity the fragrance and cherish the jade but are moved are ordinary people; those who do not understand jade and do not know the fragrance are beasts! God pays most attention to people's hearts. Mr. Wang originally because of Fu Jun (another name for the governor of the Ming and Qing Dynasties) Xu Shilin (a famous minister in the Qing Dynasty, who lived through the three dynasties of Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong) emphasized Neo-Confucianism, so in order to please him, he deliberately ruined the scenery. This kind of mentality is disgusted by God! Besides, he has many sins, not just beating me."
Wang asked: "I heard that the Immortal family values purity and self-discipline. You have been living in the world for a long time, can you still achieve enlightenment?"
Xie Qiongniang said: "Although lust is not in line with etiquette, the love between a man and a woman is also the original intention of the creatures in the world. The right way is to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately! Although I was born in a brothel, it is no more difficult to repent than other sins in the world!"
After speaking, she asked Wang how he came to the mountain.
Wang revealed his original intention to seek immortality and asked to stay in a thatched house.
Xie Qiongniang said: "It doesn't matter if your husband stays overnight, but I'm afraid he won't become an immortal."
After that, without explaining in detail, she undressed Wang and slept with him.
The relationship between the two is as close as ever, but their words do not involve the personal relationship between their children.
Wang couldn't help but touch her buttocks, feeling that the skin was as tender and delicate as before.
Xie Qiongniang didn’t resist either.
But when Wang was slightly moved and wanted to go further, he saw Xie Qiongniang's face became more solemn, which made Wang feel sacred and inviolable, and he immediately calmed down.
After a while, the sound of apes and tigers roaring came from outside the door. Some stuck their heads in through the window, and some put their paws into the door, as if they were watching them.
Wang no longer had any evil thoughts and just fell asleep holding Xie Qiongniang in his arms.
In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard shouting from outside the door. It seemed that there were many carriages and horses, and dignitaries were passing by in an endless stream.
Wang felt very strange and asked: "Why are there still official roads in this mountain?"
Xie Qiongniang replied: "This is the entertainment of the gods from various mountains in the mountains. It happens every night. You must be careful not to offend them."
Waiting until dawn, Xie Qiongniang said to Wang Sheng: "Lang Jun's relatives are already looking for you at the foot of the mountain. Go back quickly!"
Wang was unwilling to go down the mountain and still thought about cultivating immortality.
Xie Qiongniang said: "You have to wait for the opportunity to cultivate immortality! It's not too late for Lang Jun to come back then!"
After saying that, regardless of whether Wang wanted to or not, he pulled him to the edge of the cliff and pushed him off the cliff.
Wang yelled, turned around and looked up, and saw Xie Qiongniang standing in the clouds and mist, looking reluctant to leave. It took a long time before she disappeared.
Wang stumbled back. When he got to the bottom of the mountain, he saw his brother and his family members holding paper money and crying to pay homage.
Wang was shocked and asked his family members who died in the family.
When the family members saw him, they all screamed and ran away, shouting: "Ghost! Ghost!"
Only his brother didn't run away and plucked up the courage to touch Wang's face. After discovering that it was hot, my sadness immediately turned into joy.
After careful questioning, Wang found out that it had been twenty-seven days since he left home, and his family members thought he was dead, so they came to pay their respects.
After Wang returned home, the first thing he did was to visit Prefect Wang.
Sure enough, Governor Wang had suffered a stroke and died!
