Ghost Story of Liaozhai

Liu Haishi, a native of Potai, avoided chaos in Binzhou.At the age of fourteen, he and Liu Cangke of Binzhou became friends and became brothers.Not long after, both of Liu Haishi's parents died, and he went home to attend the funeral. Since then, there has been no news.

Liu Cang's Hakka family is well-to-do. He is nearly forty years old and has two sons. The eldest son Liu Ji is 17 years old and a celebrity in the county. The second son is also intelligent.Liu Cangke hired Miss Ni's family as his concubine and loved her very much.Half a year later, the eldest son died of a headache, and the husband and wife were deeply saddened.Soon, his wife died of illness again, and after a few months, the eldest daughter-in-law also died, and then the maids and servants died one after another.

Liu Cangke mourned inexplicably. This day, he was worried at home, and his disciples announced that Liu Haishi had arrived.Liu Cangke was overjoyed and hurried out to meet him. The two of them met, but before they had time to exchange greetings, Liu Haishi said in surprise, "Brother, you are in danger of destroying your family, and you don't know?" Liu Cangke was astonished and didn't know why.Liu Haishi said: "I haven't greeted you for a long time, and I thought that my elder brother's recent situation may not be good." Liu Cangke nodded abruptly, and briefly described the disaster in the mansion. , and it’s something to be thankful for.” Liu Cangke said: “I haven’t seen you for a long time, brother, is it possible that you are proficient in the ‘surpassing human technique’ recently?”

Liu Haishi said: "This skill is not my forte. I have some experience in yin and yang Fengshui." Liu Cangke was overjoyed and said, "That's great, then I will have Brother Lao take a look at the Fengshui of the house for me." Guided Liu Haishi into the room, inside After looking at the house inside and out, he asked the family members to gather in the hall and asked him to inspect it face to face.

Liu Haishi pointed out one by one, and when he found Miss Ni, he looked up at the sky and laughed endlessly.Everyone was shocked, but they saw that Miss Ni was trembling all over, her face was pale, her body was suddenly short, shrunk to about two feet in length.Liu Haishi hit his head with a ruler, and the sound was like a collision of iron and stone. Then he grabbed Miss Ni's hair and checked the back of her head. Seeing a few white hairs, he stretched out his hand to pull them out. Pull, I'm leaving right now."

Liu Haishi said angrily: "Evil, you still want to harm people?" Pulling off the white hair one by one, the woman transformed into a black raccoon demon.Everyone was horrified, Liu Haishi put the raccoon into his sleeve, looked at his second daughter-in-law, and said: "You have been poisoned deeply, and you have abnormalities on your back, take off your clothes, and I will check for you." The daughter-in-law was shy and refused to obey, her husband-in-law comforted her Said: "Don't be afraid, just take it off if you tell you." I saw a handful of white hairs on her back, the length of four fingers, Liu Haishi picked them off one by one with a silver needle, and said: "This hair is old, and it can't be done in seven days." Help." He untied the second young master's coat again, there was also a pile of white hairs, the length of his two fingers, and said: "If you don't pull it out, you will die in a month." stabbed.Sighing: "If I don't come, no one, old or young, will be spared."

Liu Cangke asked: "What is the origin of this monster?" Liu Haishi said: "It is also a fox, and it feeds on absorbing energy and blood. Are you a fairy?"

Liu Haishi said with a smile: "This is just a small skill taught by the master, not a god." Liu Cangke asked, "Who is the respected master?" Go back and hand it over to Master." After Yan Bi got up to say goodbye, he suddenly felt that his sleeves were empty, and changed his color: "No, the raccoon ran away. Its tail hair hasn't been plucked, and it has already escaped." Everyone was shocked.Liu Haishi said: "It's okay, the raccoon demon's neck hair is gone, it can't be a human, it can only transform into a beast, it shouldn't have escaped far."

So I went into the house to look at the cat, and went out to look at the dog, but found nothing.Opening the pigsty, he said with a smile, "Here." Liu Cangke stared intently, and sure enough, he noticed that there was an extra piglet.Liu Haishi laughed loudly, the little pig curled up on the ground, not daring to move, he raised his ears to catch it, a pile of white hairs on the tail, as hard as needles, before he could pull it out, the little pig turned sideways and moaned, struggling unceasingly, Liu Haishi sternly said: "Since you have committed so many crimes, you still refuse to pluck out a single hair?" The piglet was forcibly pulled out, and the piglet returned to its original shape and turned into a black raccoon.

Liu Haishi put it in his sleeve, turned to say goodbye, Liu Cangke tried hard to keep it, had a meal, and asked: "When will we meet again?" I wait to roam the world of mortals and save all living beings, but it may not be indefinite."

After parting, thinking about his name, Liu Cangke suddenly realized, "Haishi really became a fairy. The 'mountain and stone' merged into one, and the word rock also, so his master was Lu Dongbin."
