Chapter 147 Miss Lu
Very early on, there was a farmer named Wang Tingzuo in the countryside of Tongcheng (now Anqing City, Anhui Province) who made a living by farming.
One day, when Wang Tingzuo was plowing the land in Shuanggangwei, his plow accidentally dug into a coffin.
He was very curious and saw that the coffin had been dug up, so he simply dug it out.
After digging all around the coffin, he found that it turned out to be a medium-sized ancient tomb. I saw some ancient tripods, bronze mirrors, porcelain and other burial objects exposed in the tomb.
Wang Tingzuo was overjoyed and quickly collected these things and put them on the back of the cow. No longer caring about plowing the land, he took the cow and hurried back home.
When he got home, he showed these things to his family.
His wife took a fancy to the bronze mirror at first sight and liked it very much, so she took it out and put it on her dressing table.
Unexpectedly, this mirror revealed its magic at night and glowed all night long.
Wang Tingzuo was ecstatic and thought he had obtained a treasure. His wife was also very happy to see it.
Both of them took extra care to protect it, fearing that it would be broken accidentally.
Not long after this incident, one day, Wang Tingzuo went to the street to buy something.
While he was walking on the road, he suddenly saw a black-faced man standing by the roadside. He looked very ferocious and was about one foot tall.
When the black-faced man saw Wang Tingzuo, he immediately rushed over and beat him with punches and kicks without any explanation. He also cursed loudly: "You thief, how dare you steal Miss Lu's tomb! How dare you steal Miss Lu's tomb!" The crime deserves death!"
Wang Tingzuo was suddenly beaten like this and didn't know what happened, so he felt a little baffled.
He asked fearfully: "Who are you? I don't have any grudge against you, right? Why do you want to hit me? Also, who is the Miss Lu you are talking about?"
The black-faced man said: "I am the Black Evil God! Miss Lu is the daughter of Mr. Lu, the governor of Anhui in the first year of Yuanyou of the Song Dynasty. Mr. Lu was a friendly official, made good political achievements, and won the hearts of the people.
However, Tian was jealous of the beauty, and his daughter, Miss Lu, unfortunately died at a young age? The Jade Emperor took pity on her and asked me to guard her tomb. At the same time, Miss Lu was assigned to Huizhou (referring to the current Huangshan City, Xuancheng City, Anhui Province, and Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province) to take charge of the pox epidemic (that is, smallpox) along that road (the road was an administrative division in the Song Dynasty, equivalent to a current province). .This disease has now been eliminated).
No one expected that when Miss Lu and I came back, everything in the house would be gone! After I checked, I found out that it was you, a thief, who took advantage of the opportunity when I was out with the lady to steal her things! Who gave you such courage? "
After saying that, Wang Tingzuo was beaten mercilessly again.
After a while, Wang Tingzuo was beaten to the ground and passed out.
Pedestrians on the road could not see the black-faced man, only Wang Tingzuo suddenly fainted on the ground for no reason.
Some people who knew Wang Tingzuo quickly picked him up and sent him back to his home.
Wang Tingzuo's wife didn't know the reason. Seeing that he was covered in mud, she took clean clothes to put on for him.
After taking off his dirty clothes, I found a big sore on his back. He thought it was the sore that caused him to pass out from the pain.
Just when everyone was discussing how to ask a doctor to treat him, Wang Tingzuo's wife suddenly became glazed over in her eyes and began to curse in a vicious voice.
The Wang family felt very strange. Because at this time, Wang's wife's tone and accent had completely changed, and they were completely different from usual.
Everyone was shocked and scared. They didn't know what happened, so they had to find a way to rescue Wang Tingzuo first.
After struggling for a long time, Wang Tingzuo finally woke up.
He looked at his wife's strange appearance, thought of the black evil god he met on the road, and had an idea.
After questioning, I found out that it was Miss Lu whom the Black Evil God had spoken of, who had come to seek revenge.
Miss Lu's ghost, attached to his wife, loudly scolded him for his tomb robbing behavior.
Wang Tingzuo knew that his behavior had offended the ghosts and gods, so he quickly took the whole family and knelt on the ground together, begging Miss Lu to let him go. He also expressed his willingness to invite eminent monks to set up a dining hall to worship Miss Lu.
Miss Lu said: "There is no need to sacrifice! As a village farmer, you are ignorant, and I don't want to argue too much with you!
Now that you know you were wrong, as long as you quickly return my ancient tripod, bronze mirror and other things to the place where they came from, and buy a new coffin to bury my bones, then I can forgive you! "
Wang Tingzuo nodded in agreement repeatedly.
Miss Lu continued: "However, now that I have been named the Pox God of the Underworld by the Jade Emperor, I deserve to enjoy the incense. This koan must be erected on a monument and engraved with inscriptions to inform all the villagers here to let them know , if you believe in me, it will always work, and there will be no pox epidemic!”
Wang Tingzuo said: "Everything else is easy to discuss, but the writing of the inscription is not easy. You also know that all of us villagers are illiterate. Please give me some advice from Miss Lu on who should be hired to write the inscription." ?”
Miss Lu said: "Mr. Yao Yizuo, the governor of Tongcheng City, has an extremely upright character and is respected and trusted by everyone! You can go to his house and ask him to write an inscription on this matter, so that you can be spared from death!"
Wang Tingzuo hurriedly kowtowed in agreement, and was about to stand up when he suddenly remembered something and asked: "When I accidentally opened the ancient tomb before, I only saw ancient tripods, bronze mirrors and other things, but I did not see any bones. Even if I buy it now A new coffin has arrived, where should I pick up the lady’s bones?”
Miss Lu said: "I am a young woman with brittle bones and a long history, so they have weathered. However, the dust my bones have turned into is very chaste and has not been polluted, and it will emit a golden light.
You just need to dig soil from the grave pit and look at it in the sun, and you can easily identify it. You can find all this soil and bury it again! "
So Wang Tingzuo hurried to Shuanggangwei, followed Miss Lu's instructions, and dug out the soil.
Sure enough, it can be seen in the sunlight that some can indeed emit a golden light.
He immediately dug out all the soil and reburied Miss Lu's bones.
Then, he rushed to the Juren Mansion in the city, told Yao Yizuo about the incident, and asked him to write an inscription.
Unexpectedly, Yao Yizuo also dreamed about this matter at night. He had already written the article, and when Wang Tingzuo arrived, he handed it over to him and asked him to erect a stone tablet and carve the inscription on it.
After all this was done, the sores on Wang Tingzuo's back healed naturally.
Since then, there has been no pox epidemic in the Tongcheng area!
This incident was told by Zhang Pangui, the governor of Jiangning (now Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province), and Zhang Pangui’s ancestral home is from Tongcheng!
