Chapter 144 Zhang Qishen controls the soul
A long time ago, it is said that somewhere in Hunan, there was a man named Zhang Qishen who had been practicing Taoism for a long time and had achieved certain achievements.
The most powerful thing about Zhang Qishen is that he can use spells to control other people's souls and let them manipulate them at will.
Therefore, within a radius of hundreds of miles, many people know him and many people admire him.
However, there was a scholar named Wu in Jiangling (now Jingzhou City, Hubei Province) who did not believe that he had this ability and thought that he was just trying to impress people.
On this day, Wu accidentally met Zhang Qishen on the street. He suddenly felt very angry. In front of everyone, he insulted Zhang Qishen unscrupulously and scolded him for controlling other people's souls at will, which is harmful to others. Not shallow!
Although he was quick to talk for a while, Wu was not an incompetent and reckless person.
He knew that Zhang Qishen would definitely come to exact revenge at night, so he made preparations in advance. He sat under the lamp with the "Book of Changes" in his hand, waiting for Zhang Qishen to come.
Just after the third watch, Wu heard the tiles on the roof rustling, as if someone was walking. Then I heard another "plop", as if someone jumped from the roof to the ground.
At this time, he saw a god wearing golden armor, pushing open the door and barging in.
Without saying a word, the golden-armored god walked straight towards Wu with a spear in hand, and stabbed him with the spear.
Fortunately, Wu was prepared! He showed no fear and quickly hit him with the Book of Changes in his hand.
The golden-armored god looked terrifying and ferocious, but after being hit by the Book of Changes, he immediately fell to the ground and began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally becoming only about three inches in size.
Wu walked over and took a look, and it turned out to be a yellow paper man.
He picked up his copy of the Book of Changes, then picked up the paper figure and put it inside the scroll.
After a while, two more green-faced and fanged evil spirits came, holding sharp axes and slashing at Wu.
Wu also smashed it with the "Book of Changes" in his hand just like before.
The two ghosts were like before. After being hit and falling down, they immediately shrank and turned into paper figures.
Wu walked over and picked them up again and put them in the scroll.
At midnight, a woman suddenly came, crying outside and knocking on the door.
Wu shouted sharply and asked who he was and why he came.
The woman outside the door sobbed and said: "The person who came to trouble Mr. Zhang earlier was my husband Zhang. My two sons saw that their father had not returned home for a long time, so they came together to cause trouble. I didn't want them both to be caught by Mr. Zhang. Yes! I don’t know what kind of magical powers sir have, so please spare their lives and let them go back!"
Wu said: "The three paper figures who came to see me are not your husband and son."
The woman hurriedly said: "That's right, that's right! My husband and two sons all attached their souls to the paper figures and came to seek revenge on you. At this moment, there are only three corpses left lying at home. Please sir, please be merciful and let them go. If we wait until after the rooster crows, they will not be able to resurrect."
Wu refused to let go.
The woman begged again and again.
Wu said: "Your husband has done a lot of harm to others, and he deserves retribution. Today I think you are pitiful, so I will give you a son."
As he said that, he took out one of the three paper figures sandwiched in the Book of Changes and stuffed it through the crack in the door.
The woman took the paper figurine and went back crying.
After dawn the next day, Wu went to Zhang Qishen's house to inquire about the news.
Those around him told him that both Zhang Qishen and his eldest son died suddenly, leaving only the youngest son alive!
Wu sighed: This is really harming others, but it is harming himself!
