Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, a major event occurred in Hufeng Academy in Urumqi, Xinjiang. The wife of an exiled prisoner hanged herself from the window lattice of a room.

Later, Mr. Chen Zhili, the former magistrate of Ba County, came to the academy as a lecturer. He stayed in that room without any scruples.

One night, Chen Zhili was reading under the lamp in his room when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the ceiling near the window.

He looked up and saw two women's feet slowly hanging down from the paper seams on the roof. Slowly the knees were exposed, and then the thighs were exposed.

Chen Zhili knew that it was the hanger in this room, and also knew the inside story of her hanging, so he picked up the ruler on the table and scolded sternly: "I know why you hanged yourself! You hanged yourself in shame because your adultery was exposed. Death! Do you want to harm me? I am not your enemy; or do you want to tempt me to hang myself and become your substitute? But I have been upright in my life and have never done anything romantic, and you can't tempt me either! If you If you dare to come down, I will hit you with this ruler!"

When the female ghost on the ceiling heard what he said, she slowly put her legs up.

Then, Chen Zhili heard the female ghost sigh softly.

After a while, the female ghost stretched her head out of the paper gap again, revealing her face and looking down. That looks very beautiful.

Chen Zhili raised his face and cursed: "You are already dead, are you still so shameless?"

The female ghost was scolded, and I don't know if she felt ashamed, but she retreated anyway.

Chen Zhili blew out the lights and went to bed. However, he secretly hid a sharp dagger in his sleeve, preparing to assassinate the female ghost when she came down.

The female ghost never came down.

The next day, Mr. Chen Tiqiao from Xianyou, Fujian Province came to visit. When Chen Zhili told him about the incident, he heard a sound coming from the ceiling, like tearing cloth.

For a long time after that, although Chen Zhili still slept alone in this room, the female ghost never appeared again.

Chen Zhili's servant lived in the room outside. He often talked in his sleep at night. When he woke up, he became languid. Over time, he contracted tuberculosis.

When the servant's treatment failed and he was about to die, Chen Zhili thought of him and followed him all the way from his hometown to Xinjiang, 20,000 miles away. It was such a deep friendship that he couldn't help but feel sad and painful.

The servant was very calm, waving his hand coolly, as if saying goodbye to him, and said excitedly: "Sir, don't be sad, actually, for me, this is a good thing!"

Chen Zhili stopped crying and touched his forehead with his hand: "You don't have a fever, do you? You're going to die, so how can it be a good thing?"

The servant said shyly: "I have never told my husband that during these days, there was a very beautiful woman who secretly came to sleep with me every night. Now she wants to recruit me to be her husband. I will go I will be very happy! So please, sir, don’t be sad for me!”

Chen Zhili stamped his feet and beat his chest and said: "I am confident and courageous. I am not afraid of ghosts, and I am not deceived by ghosts, so I did not move to another place. Unexpectedly, I brought disaster to you. I am so confused! Because I Momentary impulse can really cause bad things!"

At this point, although Chen Zhili was upset, he had no choice but to collect the servant and send his coffin back to his hometown.

Later, Mr. Yang Fengyuan from Lu'an, Anhui, who passed the exam with Chen Zhili, took over as the dean of Hufeng Academy. After he learned about the hanging ghost, he avoided that room and lived in another room.

Mr. Yang Fengyuan said: "Mencius said: 'You can't stand under a rock wall.'"

What he means is: smart people should know how to avoid evil and seek good luck, and should not stand under dangerous walls!
