Chapter 115 The ghost is greedy for alcohol
Once upon a time, in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, there lived a man named Yuan Guanlan. His family was poor and he had no achievements. He was forty years old and not yet married.
By chance, Yuan Guanlan saw his neighbor's daughter, who was very pretty and had a good figure. He fell in love immediately, and what was rare was that the woman also fell in love with him at first sight. The two of them actually had a heart-to-heart and were in love with each other.
Yuan Guanlan immediately found a matchmaker and went to a neighbor's house to propose marriage.
But the woman's father disliked Yuan Guanlan's poverty and rejected their marriage at once.
Unexpectedly, his daughter loved Yuan Guanlan so much that she missed him so much that she became lovesick, became bedridden immediately, and finally died of a serious illness!
Yuan Guanlan was very sad after hearing the news. He wanted to come to express his condolences, but was worried about being blamed by the woman's father, so he could only silently mourn at home.
Late at night, the moon rose, and the longing and sadness came like a tide. Yuan Guanlan had no way to deal with it, so he could only hold a wine glass alone and drink away his sorrows under the moonlight.
Just when he was half drunk, he suddenly noticed a person coming out of the corner of the wall.
The man had disheveled hair and was holding a rope in his hand. The rope was tight, as if it was holding something behind.
When the man saw Yuan Guanlan, he immediately stopped and didn't speak, but just looked at him and smiled.
Yuan Guanlan guessed that he was a neighbor's servant, so he waved to him and asked, "Sir, do you also want to drink?"
The man smiled and nodded, but still didn't speak.
Yuan Guanlan then poured a glass of wine and handed it to him.
The man didn't take the wine glass, he just put his nose to it and smelled it, but he didn't drink the wine in the glass.
Yuan Guanlan asked again: "Sir, do you dislike the cold wine?"
The man nodded again, still silent.
Yuan Guanlan was confused: Could this person be mute? But since I invited someone to come drink, I naturally can't neglect it.
So he scalded the jug in hot water, poured a glass of hot wine and handed it to him.
The man still only smelled it but did not drink it, but after smelling the alcohol several times, his face gradually began to turn red, and his mouth opened wide and could not be closed, as if he was drunk.
Yuan Guanlan suddenly remembered that when offering sacrifices to ghosts and gods, those ghosts and gods only smell the smell of the offerings. It seems that this person is not a human but a ghost!
Yuan Guanlan suddenly had a whim and wanted to see what this ghost would look like after drinking wine.
So, he poured the wine into his open mouth.
Something strange happened immediately.
When he poured in a little wine, the man's body shrank a little; when he poured a little more wine, the man shrank a little more.
Yuan Guanlan suddenly became excited, and simply poured a pot of wine into it slowly. The man's body kept shrinking, and finally became the size of a baby. He stood there dumbly, motionless.
Yuan Guanlan picked up the rope in the man's hand and pulled hard, only to see a man tied to the other end of the rope. He took a closer look and saw that the person was the neighbor's woman!
Yuan Guanlan was surprised and happy, and immediately released the rope that tied the woman. The woman was also overjoyed and immediately threw herself into Yuan Guanlan's arms.
The two hugged each other tightly and told each other about the pain of missing each other.
Yuan Guanlan asked the woman distressedly: "Why were you tied up by this man and led away like a prisoner? Where is he taking you?"
The woman cried and said: "This man is a ghost agent of the underworld. I have passed away, and he is binding my soul. He wants to take me to the underworld to pay a favor to the King of Hell. But he is greedy for wine and smells it. He won't be able to move due to the smell of alcohol in your place!"
Yuan Guanlan asked: "Do you know if there is any way to save you?"
The woman said: "As long as you find a way to seal this ghost agent and prevent him from taking me to report to the underworld, I can stay here with you!"
Yuan Guanlan thought for a moment, then found a wine jar, put the man into the jar, and sealed the mouth of the jar. In order to prevent the ghost from escaping, he drew another Eight Diagrams picture and posted it on the altar as a suppression.
After doing this, he took the woman into his room, and they slept together and became husband and wife.
From then on, the two stayed together day and night and lived together. However, the woman could only have physical contact with Yuan Guanlan at night; during the day, she could only hear her voice but not her person.
The two spent a year like this. Suddenly one day, the woman happily told Yuan Guanlan: "I can live again! And I can really marry the husband and become his beautiful wife!"
Yuan Guanlan was also very happy when he heard it. I quickly asked what was going on.
The woman said: "Tomorrow in a certain village, a woman will die at the end of her life! And I can use her body to resurrect her!
Lang Jun can rush over and pretend to save her. Then he took this as his own merit and asked her parents to marry her to the husband!
In this way, his parents will not only give him a silver reward to thank Lang Jun for rescuing their daughter, but they will also marry their daughter to Lang Jun!
Mr. Lang has got both the fish and the bear's paw! Not only can you get a silver reward, but you can also get a generous dowry! "
Yuan Guanlan was overjoyed. Early the next day, we headed to the village the woman mentioned.
When I got there, I inquired, and sure enough, there was a woman who had just died.
Yuan Guanlan came to the door and saw that the woman's body had been put into the coffin, and her parents were crying heartbrokenly beside her.
Yuan Guanlan hurriedly stepped forward and said to the woman's parents: "Please don't be sad! Your lady and I still have an unfinished relationship! If you agree to betroth her to me as my wife, I will have the elixir. You can bring her back to life!”
This woman is the only daughter of the family, and her parents are grieving because the white-haired person gave away the black-haired person. Now that he heard that Yuan Guanlan could save his precious daughter, he was naturally overjoyed and quickly agreed to his request.
Yuan Guanlan walked to the coffin, pretended to stuff a pill into the woman's mouth, then possessed him and whispered in the woman's ear for a while, and the woman miraculously jumped up and was indeed alive.
The woman's whole family was surprised and happy.
After the news spread, everyone in the village thought Yuan Guanlan was a god.
The woman's parents also kept their promise and let the two get married.
After the marriage, the parents-in-law discussed with Yuan Guanlan that because the woman was their only daughter, they hoped that the young couple could live with them.
Yuan Guanlan's family was already very poor, and his parents-in-law's request was exactly what he wanted.
However, the woman's memories are not that family's business. Only Yuan Guanlan knows the secret of this.
After a year, the woman gradually became familiar with things at home, and her appearance became more beautiful than before!
