Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, there was a man in Hangzhou named Zhou Baoxian, and his family lived in Dongqing Lane.

One day, a strange thing happened in his house.

Every day, as long as it was night, there would be several strange people standing in the hall of his home.

One of them seemed to be an official: he was wearing a red robe, a black veil on his head, a square face, and a long beard.

There were two people beside him, who seemed to be servants, specially serving the one wearing the black gauze hat.

The two men were born with short stature and looked a bit vulgar. They were dressed in green clothes and soap hats. The people wearing black gauze would do whatever they were told.

The man wearing the veil looked particularly strange and terrifying. It was transparent from the neck down to the belly and looked like crystal.

At a glance, you can see through his belly the painting hanging in the hall behind him.

This year, Zhou Baoxian's child was just fourteen years old. For some reason, he suddenly fell ill and became bedridden.

That night, the children of this family were lying on the bed. Before they fell asleep, they heard someone discussing something.

The man wearing the black gauze asked the two followers, "How are we going to kill him?"

The attendant said: "He is ill in bed now. Tomorrow his father will invite Dr. Lu Haoting to treat him. When the doctor prescribes the medicine and boils it, the two of us will turn into dregs and put it into the medicine bowl." Just wait for him to drink the medicine, and then we can extract his heart, lungs and intestines, thus killing him without anyone noticing."

Those who wear black gauze hats think this is good.

On the second day, Zhou Baoxian invited Dr. Lu Haoting to the Zhou family.

After the doctor diagnosed Zhou Baoxian's son's pulse, he prescribed medicine accordingly. Zhou Bao first asked his servant to fry it and then brought it over, but his son refused to drink the medicine.

Zhou Bao first asked him why he didn't drink medicine. I thought it was because my son disliked the bitterness of the medicine and refused to drink it. He persuaded his son lovingly and gave him a lecture on the principle of good medicine that tastes bitter but is beneficial to the disease.

Zhou Baoxian's son explained the whole story and told his father that it was not that he disliked the bitterness of the medicine and refused to drink it, but that someone was trying to kill him.

Zhou Bao first thought of the strange things that happened at home recently. He estimated that those weird people who appeared in the hall every night were the ghosts in his son's mouth.

He asked his son how he knew.

His son told his father what the ghosts had said about how to kill him.

Zhou Bao no longer persuaded his son to take medicine, but immediately asked his servant to go to the street, buy a portrait of Zhong Kui, and hang it in the lobby to drive away ghosts.

After the ghosts saw it, they didn't run away at all. They even said mockingly: "This is Mr. Zhong Kui, who is short-sighted. His eyes look so sleepy that you can't tell whether he is a human or a ghost. What's so scary about him?" !”

But the Zhou family didn't know why ghosts weren't afraid of the Zhong Kui hanging in their house.

But because the portrait bought by the Zhou family showed a kid picking out Zhong Kui's ears, and Zhong Kui's eyes were slightly closed because his ears were itchy.

Although those ghosts did not run away and said they were not afraid of Zhong Kui with his eyes closed, they were still afraid after all and never dared to murder the Zhou family's son again.

In this way, more than a month later, several ghosts discussed again: "The luck of the Zhou family is still strong this time and will not decline in a short time. If we continue to make trouble here, we will not get any benefits. It is better to go there again." Find a solution elsewhere.”

The man in the black gauze hat said: "This won't work! If you are like this every time and see someone's luck, you leave empty-handed. If you develop a habit in the future, how can you still enjoy the sacrifices?"

As he spoke, he counted with his fingers and said harshly: "We have been to his house for a year, and we still found nothing. I am not willing to leave like this! I just calculated that all the people in his family are pigs, and their fortunes are weak. Let’s take the life of a pig man before we leave!”

Not long after that, a servant of the Zhou family who was a pig died inexplicably, while the Zhou family's son recovered from his illness.

From then on, the Zhou family called the ghost they saw wearing a black gauze hat and a transparent belly the "Hollow Ghost"!
