Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Chapter 112 Plague Ghost

During the Bingzi period of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, there was a man named Xu Yishen in Huzhou, Zhejiang. His wife's uncle was named Liu Minmu, who was the chief secretary (adjutant of the county magistrate) of Changzhou County (a county in the Suzhou area of ​​Jiangsu Province. Close to Huzhou). , living in the mansion given by the emperor to Sun Yueban, the former Minister of Rites.

Whenever Xu Yishen returned to Huzhou, he would visit him.

That day, when Xu Yishen went to visit his uncle-in-law Liu Minmu, it was summer and the weather was very hot.

At night, the moon outside had risen, and the moonlight was slightly bright. Xu Yizhan took a bath in Liu Minmu's study.

Soon, he finished taking a shower and got into bed, getting ready to sleep.

Suddenly, Xu Yishen felt a stream of air coming in from the window. The smell was very unpleasant, like walking in a thick fog full of fishy smell in the early morning.

After the air flow came in, it made the feather duster on the desk hover.

Xu Yishen was well-informed and knew that this strange phenomenon was caused by ghosts.

But he showed no fear and slapped the edge of the bed and yelled curses. The ghost seemed to be angered by his scolding, and became even more troublesome.

I saw the bath cloth hanging on Xu Yishen's bed and the teacup on the bedside table flying out of the window from the middle of the window lattice.

Outside the window was a box tree, and the teacup broke immediately when it hit the tree, making a "crash" sound.

After all, Xu Yishen had only heard others talk about ghosts and monsters, and now that he had actually encountered them, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

He quickly called the servants of the Liu family and asked them to go out and check.

The servants ran outside the door and saw a black shadow circling around the roof. The tiles on the roof also made a "crackling" sound. It took a long time to stop.

Seeing that it was quiet outside, Xu Yishen sat on the bed again. Not long after, the feather duster started moving again.

Xu Yi stretched out of bed and held the feather duster with his hand, trying to stop it from moving.

He felt that the feather duster in his hand looked different from usual. The feeling at this time was wet, sticky, and soft. It didn't feel like usual. It was like the hair on a woman's head had not been washed for a long time, and it gave off an extremely foul smell that made people unable to get close.

There was also cold air coming from the top, spreading from the palms to the arms and all the way to the shoulders.

Xu Yishen endured the cold air and continued to hold the feather duster tightly, refusing to let go.

At this moment, a sound came from the corner, like a muffled sound coming from a jar.

At first, the sound sounded like a parrot imitating human speech, and then it sounded like a child crying.

Xu Yishen suppressed his fear and asked loudly: "Who the hell are you?"

The voice said: "My surname is Wu Mingzhong, and I come from Hongze Lake. Because I was frightened by the thunder on the way, I didn't dare to move for a while, so I hid here temporarily. I definitely don't want to cause harm to anyone! Please benefactor Be merciful and let me go home!"

Xu Yishen asked again: "I heard that a plague is currently spreading in Wumen, Hongze Lake, and countless people have died. Could it be that you are a plague ghost?"

The voice replied: "Exactly!"

Xu Yishen said: "If it's a plague ghost, I can't let you go, lest you go out and harm others!"

The plague ghost said: "I have a prescription that can cure the plague. I will give it to my benefactor now and ask my benefactor to let me go!"

Xu Yishen said: "Tell me all the names of the medicines in the prescription and wait until I record them. If it is proven to be effective against the plague, then I will let you go."

The plague ghost was overjoyed and gave him the prescription.

After Xu Yishen finished writing the prescription, he really couldn't stand the smell of the feather duster, and his arms couldn't stand the air-conditioning anymore, so he wanted to let him go.

But I was worried that if I let him go, he would continue to do evil again, so I was a little hesitant.

The servants of the Liu family gathered together and talked about it. Then they each brought jars and jars, and asked Xu Yishen to put the feather dusters into the jars and seal them up.

Xu Yishen listened to their words, put the feather duster into the jar, sealed it, and threw it into Taihu Lake.

According to what the plague ghost said, Xu Yishen recorded the following prescription:

Four liang of thunder pills, thirty pieces of flying gold, three qian of cinnabar, one liang of alum, four liang of rhubarb, add water to make pills, three qian each time.

After Zhao Wenshan, the prefect of Suzhou, heard about it, he asked Xu Yishen for this prescription, which was used to save people. It was indeed very effective. Anyone who was infected with the plague could be saved!
