Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

The grandfather of Ji Xiaolan, a famous scholar and writer in the Qing Dynasty, lived on the east bank of the Wei River (a tributary of China's Haihe River system). There is a building in his home, built by the Wei River and facing the water. This building is named "Dufan Building".

This Dufan Building faces the river, with the main door facing west. However, there is a small door on the ground floor that opens to the east, leading to another courtyard, but it is not connected to the upper floor of Dufan Building.

In the home of Ji Xiaolan's grandfather, there used to be a servant named Shi Jinjie. His wife was unreasonable and often quarreled with him.

Once, the two had an argument over trivial matters. Shi Jinjie got angry and stepped forward and slapped his wife. Unexpectedly, his wife ran to the yard that night and hanged herself.

From then on, no one dared to live in that yard because of the hanged man. But usually no one goes in, so the courtyard door is not locked.

Ji Xiaolan's grandfather's house had a young servant and a maid who were bought back after this incident, so they didn't know that someone had been hanged in that yard.

The two people had an affair from time to time. Seeing that no one was entering the courtyard, they often met there in the middle of the night.

That night, they went to the courtyard for a private meeting again. When the two people were hugging each other passionately and passionately, they suddenly heard a rustling sound outside the door, as if someone was moving.

They were afraid that someone would discover their affair, so they quickly lowered their bodies and did not dare to move.

After a while, the two of them peeked out from the crack in the door and saw a hanged man outside, walking on the steps and sighing softly at the moon in the sky.

The two of them were so frightened that their legs were trembling. They both slumped in the door and did not dare to go out.

The courtyard door was blocked by these two men, and the hanged man did not dare to walk in. The two sides remained in a stalemate for a long time.

Suddenly, a dog came over outside the yard. When it saw the hanged man, it immediately barked wildly. The dogs in the distance also barked wildly when they heard the sound.

People nearby thought a thief was coming, so they rushed into the yard holding lanterns and sticks to catch the thief.

The hanged ghost immediately disappeared, but the adultery between the young servant and the maid was completely exposed.

The maidservant was so ashamed that she couldn't bear to look at herself. When the people dispersed, she went back to the yard to hang herself.

After people discovered her, they put her down and revived her.

But when she waited until no one was paying attention, she sneaked into the yard and hanged herself, and people revived her again.

Just like this, I struggled several times.

Later, Ji Xiaolan's grandfather was worried that something had happened, so he sent the maid back to her parents, and the matter was settled.

Afterwards, people came to their senses: It turned out that the hanged man did not dare to enter the courtyard, but deliberately did not go in in order to attract everyone, thereby exposing the adultery of the young servant and the maid, and forcing the maid to feel Hanging himself out of shame.

In this way, the Hanged Ghost found a substitute for himself.

Ji Xiaolan's grandmother said: "This hanged ghost should be Shi Jinjie's wife. That woman is really hateful! She was very insidious and cunning when she was alive, and she still harms people like this after she dies. She sinks into the ghost world and cannot be reincarnated. Then You deserve it!”

Ji Xiaolan's mother rebutted her own mother, saying: "If this maid kept her peace and did not do such scandalous things, how could the Hanged Man take advantage of the opportunity? Therefore, the blame for this kind of thing cannot be entirely placed on the Hanged Man. On your body!"
