Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, when Chen Pengnian (a native of Xiangtan, Hunan. A famous official and scholar in the Qing Dynasty, with many writings) was not yet prosperous, he had a good relationship with Li Fu, a fellow countryman, and they often drank and chatted together.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th of this year, the moon was bright and the stars were shining.

On a whim, Chen Pengnian took advantage of the moonlight to go to Li Fu to drink and admire the moon.

Li Fu's family was poor, but he was hospitable. Seeing Chen Pengqian coming, he quickly went in and asked his wife to warm the wine and prepare the dishes.

Not long after entering, Li Fu walked out again and said to Chen Pengnian sheepishly: "I'm so sorry! I just went in and wanted to ask my wife to warm the wine, but there was no wine at home.

You sit here for a while, and I'll go outside to get a drink. Just wait for me and I'll be back soon. Let's drink wine, admire the moon, and recite poems with you. "

As soon as Li Fu finished speaking, he took a wine bottle and went out.

Chen Pengnian was bored sitting alone, so he took Li Fu's poetry collection and flipped through it while waiting for Li Fu to come back after buying wine.

At this moment, a woman came outside the door. She was wearing blue clothes and her hair was messy.

The woman opened the door and was about to walk in when she saw Chen Pengnian sitting there, turned around and left.

Chen Pengnian thought the visitor was a relative of Li Fu's family. He saw guests in Li's family, so he didn't come in in order to avoid the guests.

So Chen Pengnian sat sideways, deliberately avoiding the woman.

The woman walked in as if she was carrying something in her sleeves. After entering the door, she took out the thing and hid it under the threshold before walking in.

Chen Pengnian suddenly became suspicious when he saw her sneaky appearance, so he went to the threshold to check.

He looked around and found that it was a rope with blood stains on it and a strong smell.

Chen Pengnian understood immediately: This woman is a hanger! Come here to find a substitute!

She doesn’t know who was chosen by her. In order to prevent the hanged man from harming others, Chen Pengnian picked up the rope and hid it in his boots. Then he walked back as if nothing had happened and continued to sit there and read Li Fu's poetry collection.

After a while, the woman with disheveled hair came out of the back room.

She ran to the threshold and looked for the rope where it had been hidden, but found that it was missing.

The woman was very angry. When she knew that the rope had been taken away and there was no one else here, she went straight to Chen Pengnian, stretched out her hand and said, "Did you take my things? Please return it to me quickly!"

Chen Pengnian pretended not to know and asked: "What did I take from you?"

The woman was furious and stopped talking. She just opened her mouth and blew at Chen Pengnian.

Chen Pengnian felt a cold wind coming, and all the hair on his body stood on end. The lights in the room also flickered and turned cyan, looking like they were about to go out.

Chen Pengnian was also angry, and thought to himself: "You hanged ghost, you are so brave, you dare to blow your breath at me! If a ghost like you has breath, don't you, a living person like me, have the same breath?"

So he also puffed up his mouth and blew on the woman.

I saw that the woman's body had become hollows wherever Chen Pengnian's masculine energy blew.

First, a hole was blown through his abdomen, then his chest was blown through, and finally his head was blown away.

In an instant, the woman turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared without a trace, never to be seen again.

After a while, Li Fu, who had gone out to buy wine, came back.

He held the wine pot and said to Chen Pengnian, "Brother Chen, please wait a moment. I'll go in and ask my wife to warm the wine."

He kept talking and walked straight in with the wine in hand.

Suddenly, Li Fu was heard shouting inside, staggering out and shouting to Chen Pengnian: "Something big happened! My wife hanged herself on the bed?"

Chen Pengnian knew it well and said with a calm smile: "Brother, don't panic! Nothing will happen! The hanged ghost wants to find your wife as a substitute, but the rope that the ghost used to harm people is still tied to me. Hiding here."

Then, he told Li Fu what happened just now. Then the two men ran in together and rescued Li Fu's wife.

Seeing that she was unconscious, the two quickly got ginger juice and poured it into her. After waiting for a while, she woke up.

The two asked her why she wanted to hang herself.

Li Fu's wife said embarrassedly: "My family is really too poor! My husband is very hospitable. There is only one hairpin left on my head, and he just took it away and exchanged it for wine." .

So I felt very depressed. But I thought that the guests were sitting outside again, so I couldn't make a fuss with my husband, so I had to let him go.

At this time, a woman with a disheveled head suddenly came. I didn't recognize her. I asked her who she was and she claimed to be the neighbor on the left.

She came to tell me that my husband had not taken away my hairpin to entertain guests in exchange for wine. She witnessed my husband going to the casino.

Hearing her say this, I felt even more depressed and uncomfortable. In addition, the night was getting darker, my husband would not come back, and the guests would not leave. It was both embarrassing and inconvenient for me to drive away the guests.

At this time, the woman was making a circle with her hand, tempting me and saying: 'As long as you stick your head in from here, you can enter the Buddhist kingdom immediately. Once you get there, you will be worry-free! ’

So, I took her word for it. Put your head through the circle made by her hand. It's just that the circle around her hand isn't tight enough to hold me, and it always falls apart.

The woman said: 'Wait a moment, I will get my Buddha belt, and I will definitely allow you to successfully enter the Buddha's kingdom! ’

After she finished speaking, she went out to get some Buddha belt. It's been a long time and I haven't come back yet. I have always been in a hazy state, as if I was dreaming, until now, you came and woke me up! "

Only then did Li Fu know that everything Chen Pengnian had experienced was true.

And it happened that he was here to see through the hanged man's methods of harming people, so that his wife would not be tempted by the hanged man and become her scapegoat!

After the incident, Chen Pengnian and Li Fu visited the surrounding neighbors. Nothing weird happened here.

After asking, I found out that just a few months ago, a woman was hanged here!

Drawing a tiger into a cat:

Chen Pengnian did exist in history; there is no way to verify whether he actually "blows air to drive away ghosts".

However, we can make some guesses from the description in a poem.

This poem, written in 1962, was written by Guo Moruo to praise Chen Pengnian:

Righteousness spreads to ghosts,

Qingtian's virtue lies in people.

Looking at the world for a moment,

An eternal treasure!
