Chapter 113 Nian Crane
It's said that once upon a time, because it's so old, I don't know which dynasty or generation it was in. I just remember that at that time, in Linghu Town, Huzhou, Zhejiang, there was a man named Wang Jingyan. His family was very rich, and he was famous and wealthy within a hundred miles. People.
The houses built in his home are all tall, spacious and bright, showing luxury and extravagance. The "Jiusi Hall" in his home alone covers an area of five or six acres.
As the host, Wang Jingyan often likes to entertain guests in this magnificent "Jiusitang".
However, everyone has unsatisfactory things, and Wang Jingyan is no exception.
A strange thing happened in the "Jiusi Hall". Whenever the banquet was held until evening, the guests and hosts would hear a strange sound coming from under the pillars of the hall, like someone holding a piece of bamboo. Keep banging.
Wang Jingyan hated this kind of sound at first, but it became more frequent. But he couldn't figure out what the sound was about.
So, he felt that there might be a ghost at work.
When one day, the weird sound came from Zhuzhu again, he couldn't help but get angry and said to Zhuzhu: "Who are you? Are you a ghost? If so, ring three times."
It looked like there was really someone under the pillar, but the sound rang out four times, indicating that it was not a ghost.
Wang Jingyan asked again: "Since you are not a ghost, are you a god? If so, please ring four times."
As a result, there were five sounds from the pillar.
Wang Jingyan asked again: "You are neither a ghost nor an immortal. Are you a demon? If so, then ring five times."
Unexpectedly, this time the pillar did not just ring five times, but started ringing randomly.
This made Wang Jingyan confused and unsure of what to do.
There was a Taoist priest who was very experienced in Taoism. Hearing about this strange incident in Wang's family, he recommended himself to Wang Jingyan's house to set up an altar and perform rituals to kill demons for him.
Wang Jingyan naturally accepts everyone who comes.
After the Taoist priest came to Wang's house, he held a compass in his hand and muttered something. He seemed to have found the monster's location, and then inserted the thunder stick under the pillar.
There was no reaction for a while. But a maid in Wang Jingyan's house suddenly had a big bump on her head that looked like a tombstone, and the pain was unbearable.
After the Taoist priest pulled out the thunder stick under the pillar, the maid's pain stopped.
The Taoist priest felt that his magic power was not enough and he did not dare to cast any more magic, so he left in embarrassment.
One day later, the maid suddenly started yelling crazily. Her body was like a patient suffering from typhoid fever. She was hot and shivering at other times.
Wang Jingyan had never encountered such a thing before, and knew in her heart that it was the work of ghosts. She couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so she could only treat her as sick and have someone call a doctor to treat her.
When the doctor arrived, he grabbed the maid's wrist and tried to feel her pulse.
Unexpectedly, the maid suddenly seemed to go crazy. She raised her leg and kicked the doctor. One kick hit the doctor's face, and his face immediately started to bleed.
The servants and servants nearby stepped forward to stop her. The maid's strength suddenly became so great that even four or five strong men could not hold her back.
At this time, Wang Jingyan's daughter had just grown up. She was very curious when she heard that the maidservant had a strange illness, so she came to see her.
As soon as Miss Wang walked into the door, she was shocked. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground and said, "This is not a maid, but a monster! The monster's face is square, like a wall of white There are no eyes, noses or ears on the wall, but there is a big mouth with a tongue that is blood red, like cinnabar, and is three or four feet long. The mouth opens and closes towards people, and the long tongue also faces towards people. Waving! It’s really scary!”
Miss Wang was horrified. At that time, he was too frightened and fell ill, and died not long after.
Unexpectedly, after Miss Wang died, the maid miraculously recovered and was no different from before.
Wang Jingyan knew that the monster was still there in his home and had not been driven away by the Taoist priests. He felt very uneasy and always felt that this was a huge hidden danger.
So, he tried every means to get rid of the demon. As long as he heard of someone who had the ability in this area, he would invite him to his home to give it a try, regardless of whether he could really slay demons or not.
Once, he invited a person who was good at supporting the gods and inviting immortals.
The man said: "There is an immortal called Caoyi Weng who is very efficacious. If you invite him here, you can suppress evil spirits and exorcise demons!"
When Wang Jingyan heard this, he was overjoyed. Immediately listening to his words, he ordered people to set up the incense table, prepare the altar plate, and began to hold the altar to invite the immortal.
After a while, an immortal was invited.
However, the pen did not write on the plate. Instead, it made a sound of "hu la la huh la la" and suddenly flew up and flew out of the window.
Before flying out, the pen stopped for a moment and wrote on the window paper: "Why bother, the land will suffer!"
Wang Jingyan quickly asked the person who was good at supporting Qi what these eight characters meant.
The man explained: "The grass-clothed man did not leave because of the evil in this place. This is the sin of the land god here.
Therefore, the immortals invited sent the local god of land to the city god to be punished and beaten twenty times. "
The man also said that the monsters in the Wang family had been eliminated.
Sure enough, from then on, no strange noises were made from under the pillars of the "Jiusitang" in Wang Jingyan's home, and the monster never came out to cause trouble again.
It is said that the grass-clothed man invited by the supporter had a good relationship with people, often interacted with people, and his predictions were very effective.
Once, someone asked his name and origin on the ji plate.
The grass-clothed man was not angry either. He said bluntly: "I am a thousand-year-old crane. If you ask me about my name, I have some origins.
One day that year, I happened to pass by Poyang Lake on a white cloud and happened to see a big black fish swallowing a person.
In anger, I pecked the big black fish with my mouth. Blackfish was injured in the head by me and died immediately.
As for the man who was swallowed by the fish, his head was still outside the fish's mouth. Before he died, he lent me his name and his appearance.
So now my surname is Chen Zhitian, and Cao Yi is my nickname. "
There are also more bold and curious people who want to see his true form and ask if they can meet him.
The grass-clothed man said cheerfully: "Okay."
The man immediately asked him about the date of the meeting.
The grass-clothed man said: "When the moon rises one night!"
On the appointed day, the man arrived as scheduled.
Looking around, I saw a man who looked like a Taoist priest standing in the sky with his feet on auspicious clouds. He had a fair face, a slight beard, a scarf on his head, and was dressed in the costumes of the Jin and Tang Dynasties.
Just like that, after a long time, the man slowly dissipated like smoke!
