Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Once upon a time, there was an old man named Qiu in Hangzhou who was in the business of selling cloth.

One day, Old Man Qiu went outside to collect his bills and walked back. Seeing that it was getting late, he saw an inn on the side of the road, so he walked in and prepared to stay.

When I went in and asked, the inn was already full of people. There is no room available for him.

Old Man Qiu was determined to continue on his way, but he knew that he often traveled this road, the road ahead was deserted, and there was no inn where he could stay.

So, Old Man Qiu discussed with the innkeeper whether he could free up a room for him to stay.

The innkeeper said: "There is no way to vacate the room, but I wonder if the old guest is brave?"

Old Man Qiu asked strangely: "I just want a room to stay. What does it have to do with my courage?"

The innkeeper said: "That's right, there are no more guest rooms. However, there are a few rooms outside the back wall of my place, which are usually used by guests to gamble during the day. No one stays overnight at night, for fear of hiding evil spirits. , so I dare not let you live there. If the old guest feels that he is not afraid of ghosts, he might as well live there."

Old Man Qiu said: "Let me calculate, I have traveled tens of thousands of miles in the past half of my life, and I have never done anything wrong. Why should I be afraid of ghosts?"

When the innkeeper saw what he said, he agreed to let him stay.

So, the innkeeper took the candle and led Old Qiu through the shop and outside the back wall of the inn.

Old Man Qiu looked through the candlelight and saw that there was an open space there, about four or five acres in size, with several low houses against the back wall, which looked quite clean.

Old Man Qiu walked into the house and found that tables, chairs, beds, mosquito nets, etc. were all available. He said very happily: "It's very nice here. I'll just live here."

Seeing that he was very satisfied with the room, the innkeeper said politely: "Then I won't disturb him. Guest, please go to bed early."

After saying that, he said goodbye and left.

Old Man Qiu felt that the weather was hot and couldn't sleep for a while, so he took out his account book and sat outside to settle his accounts while enjoying the cool air.

That night, a pale moon shone dimly in the sky. Suddenly, there seemed to be a figure flashing in front of him.

Old Man Qiu suspected that a thief was visiting, so he stared at the place where the figure appeared.

Suddenly, another figure flashed past. After a while, Old Man Qiu saw twelve shadows flashing in front of him.

These figures come and go erratically, like butterflies flying among the flowers, elusive.

He knew that these were the ghosts the innkeeper said were coming. Looking carefully again, I found that these ghosts were all beautiful young women.

Old Man Qiu said with a smile: "The reason why people are afraid of ghosts is because ghosts look ferocious and make people feel scared. Today's ghosts are all so beautiful and coquettish, so I just appreciate ghosts as beauties."

As he said that, he sat still, wanting to see what those female ghosts were planning to do.

After a while, two female ghosts ran up to him and squatted at his feet. One ghost climbed on his shoulder, and nine ghosts climbed up one after another. The last ghost stood lightly. When he reached the top of his head, it was like performing the "Building a Pagoda" show in a vaudeville theatre.

After a while, each of these ghosts took a big ring and put it around their necks. All the hair on their heads was spread down, and their tongues were sticking out, which was more than a foot long, trying to scare Old Man Qiu.

But Old Man Qiu laughed and said: "Beauty is too beautiful, and evil is too evil. The contrast is really great, and it is very similar to the human condition in the world today. I just want to see what you want to do!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the group of female ghosts also laughed, each showed their original form and left.
