Yong Ning, a cabinet scholar, was exhausted by illness and lethargic. Ask the doctor to diagnose and treat, but it can't be cured. Another doctor was called. The doctor asked for the prescription prescribed by the previous doctor, but he couldn't find it. Yonggong thought that the little maid was in the wrong place, told her to look carefully, and threatened to whip her if she couldn't find it. Yonggong rested against the pillow. Someone in the drowsiness knelt under the lamp and said, "Don't beat her. The prescription is hidden by the villain. The villain is the prisoner you rescued when you were the commissioner." Yonggong asked. : "Why do you hide the prescription?" He replied, "My fellow doctors are jealous, he must change the previous doctor's prescription to show his shrewdness. You're right, you just took a dose, and the potency is not yet there. Play it out, if you ask the latter doctor to see the prescription, he will definitely change the prescription of the former doctor and use the opposite medicine in order to create something new, then you are in danger. Therefore, the villain stole the prescription." Yonggong was also groggy. I didn't expect the other party to be a ghost. After a while, he woke up suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat. So he said that the former doctor's prescription had been lost and could not remember, and asked the latter doctor to prescribe another prescription. Look at the medicine the doctor uses, the same as before. So, even after taking a few doses, the disease quickly recovered. When Duke Yong was guarding Urumqi, he told me about this in person, saying, "This ghost really speaks about human feelings, he will repay his kindness, and he knows the world."
Tang Shukou'an said: Suning has a teacher from a school who teaches about Cheng Zhu's learning. One day, a monk You Fang was begging for food outside the school, and the sound of the wooden fish was so loud that it did not stop from the moment of the hour to the hour of the afternoon. The teacher felt disgusted, went out and shouted, let him go, and said: "You are a heretic outside Confucianism, foolish people or deceived by you. Here are all believers of sages, why should you be delusional?" The monk saluted and said. : "Buddhism raises food and clothing, just like Confucianism pursues wealth and honor, but also loses its true colors. Why must the teacher be forced to fight each other?" The monk threw off his clothes and said, "It's a prank!" He left the cloth bag on the ground and left. The teacher expected that he would definitely come again, but he didn't even come by at night. When I touched it, all that was stored in the bag was loose money. That group of disciples wanted to reach in and take it, the teacher said, "If you wait for a long time and he doesn't come, then you will have to worry about it. But you need to count it clearly, maybe you can avoid fighting." The faces of the teachers and disciples were stunned. Screaming for help, the neighbors came to inquire in surprise. The monk suddenly pushed open the door and entered and said, "Did the sage actually plan to hide other people's money?" He picked up the bag and walked away. Before leaving the house, he put his palms together and said to the teacher: "The heretics have occasionally offended the sages, and I hope to forgive them." The onlookers laughed. Some said, "This is an illusion." Others said, "The teacher likes to refute Buddha, and he insults the monk when he sees it, so the monk puts a bee in a bag to tease him." Kou'an said, "This matter is my own As far as I can see, if you put a lot of bees in the bag first, there must be a wriggling appearance, you can see it from the outside of the bag, but it was not seen at the time. It is closer to calling it an illusion."
Zhu Qinglei said: There was a man who escaped from his enemy and hid in the mountains. At night, when the moon was bright and the wind was clear, he saw a ghost wandering under the poplar tree, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground and did not dare to get up. The ghost suddenly found him and asked, "Why didn't you come out?" He trembled and replied, "I'm afraid of you." The ghost said, "The most terrifying thing is humans, nothing is more terrifying than humans, what are ghosts? What's scary? Is it a human or a ghost who made you flee to this place?" After the ghost said this, he disappeared with a smile. I think this is a fable made up by Zhu Qinglei who was incensed.
There are giant pythons in the library of the Supreme Court, and sometimes they come out at night. When I was the chief inspector, I met him twice. The traces printed by the python coiling around the ground are more than two inches wide, and the diameter of the python body is estimated to be five inches. There are no gaps in the walls, no gaps in the doors, and the gaps between the window lattices are only two inches wide. Presumably, animals can change shape over time. The fox charm can come and go through the window gap, and its true shape cannot be accommodated by the window gap. The official said that the presence of pythons corresponds to good and bad luck. But it never came true. This is nothing but a myth.
Yin, yang, water and fire are incompatible, and people can distinguish between ghosts and spirits. This is to show respect for people. The principle of light and shade is the same, and if people cannot handle it correctly, ghosts and gods have the times to handle it to prevent accidents. Taipu Temple Qing Ge Xianzhou said that a servant fell drunk on the god's case in the Chenghuang Temple. Ge Xianzhou had seen the scene in person.
Dusheng Village is 18 miles away from my home. There was a man in the village who coveted the wealth of a wealthy family and planned to sell his child bride to be a concubine. Although the child bride was not married, she had been with her husband for several years, and it was not logical to remarry. It was estimated that things could not be stopped, so they secretly agreed to escape together. The in-laws found out and chased after him. The two of them arrived at the Earth God Temple in my village at night and had nowhere to rest, hugging each other and weeping. Suddenly, the inside of the temple said: "The chaser is coming, you can hide under the table of God." After a while, the temple congratulatory who was in charge of the incense stumbled back drunk and lay outside the door. The in-laws followed up and asked about the trail, and Miaozhu replied in a dream talk: "Is it a young man and a woman? How old are you? What about your clothes and shoes? Going to a certain road." The in-laws hurriedly followed the road he pointed. . The two were thus able to avoid detection, begging for food all the way to Tong Yang's parents' house. Parents have to report to the government, so they will not be sold. There was no one in the temple at that time, and the temple Zhu said: I didn't know about it at first, and I don't remember saying that. "It's probably the experience of the earth god.
In the Gengzi year of Qianlong, a fire broke out in the Xiejie Street of Yangmeizhu in Kyoto. The flames were raging and nearly a hundred houses were burned. Among the ashes, there was a broken house that was left alone, not damaged at all. The burned walls on all sides were neat, as if drawing a boundary for the fire to protect the broken house. There was a widow-in-law in the room, guarding the sick mother-in-law and not leaving. This is the so-called "filial piety brother to the gods" ah!
The Yu family is a big family in Suning. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he regarded the princes and generals as dung, but he grew up in Suning, and he saw the Wang family like the Wang Xie clan of the Jin Dynasty, proposing for his nephew instead of marrying Wang's Daughter can't. It happened that the youngest son of Yu's family went to take the township examination, so he arranged a banquet and forced Yu Sheng to come to the house to discuss. Yu Sheng calculated in his heart that if he agreed, the catastrophe would be in the future; if he did not agree, the catastrophe would be at hand. When I couldn't decide in a hurry, I said that my father was here and I didn't dare to be self-reliant. Wei Zhongxian said: "It's easy, write a letter quickly, and I can send it to Tai Weng right away." That night, Yu Weng dreamed of his dead father, and taught him a class like before, with two questions, one It is "Confucius said action", one is "go back and be good at yourself". He was thinking about it when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. When he got the letter from his son, he suddenly realized. So he replied to the letter and promised to marry, but postscript said that he was seriously ill, and told his son to hurry up. Suning was more than 400 miles away from the capital. When the reply arrived, it was just dawn and the play had not ended. Yu Sheng hurriedly prepared to pack and set off. The officials who greeted him on the way had already prepared everything he needed on the way and listened to his instructions. After arriving home, Yu's father and son both claimed to be ill and did not show up. This year is the fourth year of the Apocalypse. After three years, Wei Zhongxian fell, and Yu's Jing was spared from being implicated. After the overall situation stabilized, Yu Weng rode a car and traveled around the countryside, saying, "I have been behind closed doors for three years, and I only get to see flowers and drink like this today. It's really dangerous." When Yu Sheng was about to leave, Wei Zhongxian gave him a He took a small statue and said, "Tell the bride to recognize me first." Yu and my family are cousins. I had seen this small statue when I was a child. Wei Zhongxian is tall and thin, his face is white and rosy, his cheekbones are slightly raised, his cheeks are slightly narrow, his eyes seem to be drunk, and the upper part of the lying silkworm has a faint ochre-like halo, which seems to be a little swollen, and his clothes are crimson Yes, there are nine golden seals on the tables beside the seat.
A Taoist priest from the Tuilian Temple in Dulin Town had a dream. In the dream, the land god said: "The affairs here are complicated, and I have neglected my duty, so that the evil ghost accidentally entered the house of the dutiful son's festival wife and hurt the child. Now I am going to be transferred. The newly appointed land god Serious personality, you have to serve well, I'm afraid he is not a bad guy like me." The Taoist thought it was just a spring dream and didn't take it to heart. A few days later, he lay drunk beside the throne, contracted a fever and nearly died.
When the governor of Jingzhou Ge, Tongyuan, was an official in Shuoping, a master woke up at night. At this time, the window was full of bright moon, and he saw a woman sitting sideways beside a small table. The woman waved her hand and said, "I've lived here for a long time, and you haven't seen it. Today I can't avoid it, why is it so frightening?" The master called out even more urgently. The woman smiled and said, "If you really want to inflict misfortune on you, how can the servants save you?" After brushing the clothes, she immediately stood up, just like the breeze vibrating the window paper, passing through the lattice on the window.
Yingzhou people Mingjing Wu Yuewu said: His fellow townsman, the old scholar Linsheng, is a person of good character. Lin Sheng once studied in the temple. The temple is very spacious and there are many people living there. Lin Sheng had a withdrawn temperament and did not pay any attention to the people in the temple. One day in the middle of the night, due to insomnia, he was walking under the moon, and suddenly a guest came to chat with him. Lin Sheng was feeling lonely, so he invited guests into the room and started chatting. Guest conversations are well organized. In the small talk, some karma is occasionally involved. Lin Sheng said: "Sages and sages do good deeds without a subjective purpose. If they do it with a subjective purpose, even if the things they do are in line with the principles of heaven, their intentions are purely human desires. Therefore, the Buddhist saying of 'Fu Tian' is not talked about by a gentleman." The guest said, "Sir's words are purely Confucian. If it is used to demand a gentleman, it is alright, but it is absolutely impossible to demand people in the whole world. The sage establishes a religion, and it is nothing more than asking people to do good deeds. Those who cannot do good deeds are induced and supported to do so; those who are unwilling to do good deeds The sage will drive him away with a whip and force him to do it. Then there will be punishment and reward. For those who can do good deeds because of the pursuit of rewards, the sage will affirm that he is a good person, and will not blame him for doing good deeds for the sake of reward; For those who can do good deeds out of fear of punishment, the sage also admits that he is a good person, and will definitely not hold him to do good deeds to escape punishment. If punishment and reward are used to drive people to follow the 'law of heaven', but accuse people of liking reward and fearing punishment It is 'human desire, Xing, what if people obey punishment and reward will be said to be bad, and do not obey punishment reward will be said to be bad, people will be at a loss and don't know what to do. Because of the desires of people, and using punishment and rewards, wouldn't it be true to become a sage based on the desire of people to guide the people? Is there any reason for this? Because in the world, there is less wisdom, less people, and more people, so the punishment of sages Reward, in fact, is to teach people in the following ways. The cause and effect of Buddhism is also for the people in the middle of the world. Although the purpose of Buddhism and Confucianism is different, it means to teach people to be good. Exactly the same. Mr. uses Dong Zi's theory of profit-seeking to refute the Buddhist theory of cause and effect. Do you want to refute the sage's proposition of punishment and reward? The gentleman saw that the monks were tempting to give money, saying that this is doing good deeds, and it can be done. If you dont give, you will be guilty of doing good deeds. Therefore, you will mistake the Buddhist theory of cause and effect, which is completely deceiving the people. You dont understand that there is no difference between good and evil in Buddhism and Confucianism. The retribution of good and evil is no different from that of Confucianism." Lin Sheng disagreed with the guest's statement, and wanted to further express his own views. At this time, it was almost dawn, the guests got up and wanted to leave, but Lin Sheng insisted on keeping them. The guest suddenly stood up and stood still. Lin Sheng took a closer look and found that it was a clay judge in the temple.
The clan's ancestor Leiyang said that there was a person who met a little ghost in the past, and asked that fate was predestined in the past, wasn't it? The kid said yes. However, what was destined in the past referred to major events such as particularly rough, accessible, and particularly short-lived, longevity, etc. As for predicting what people would eat in the novels of the Tang Dynasty, it was the game of warlocks guessing fans. If everyone's trivial matters are also recorded, then even if the earth is used as a bookshelf, there will not be so many books. This person asks if the fixed number can be changed? The little devil said that it can change, great good can change, and great evil can change. The person asked, who will decide who will change? The little ghost said, "It's me who decides to change myself, ghosts and gods don't have this right." The man asked, how can some retribution work and some not work? The little ghost said: "In the human world, good or bad is judged by one lifetime, and misfortune and good fortune are also judged by one lifetime. In the underworld, when discussing good or evil, one should take into account the previous life, and when discussing misfortune or good fortune, one should take into account the future life, so sometimes it is impossible to repay one thing one by one. "Why is the retribution different for this gate? The little ghost said: "This is different because everyone's life is different. For example, in personnel affairs, the same promotion, the Shangshu is promoted to the prime minister, and the classic history is just a master book. The same downgrade, if compared with the promotion, So if you don't upgrade, you will be downgraded. So things are the same, but sometimes the retribution is different." The person asked why the fixed number was not told first? The little ghost said: "The situation does not allow this. If everyone knows their own destiny in advance, there will be nothing in the world, then Zhuge Liang will become a troubled person, and the six ministers of the Tang Dynasty will become people who know the destiny. "The man asked why do people occasionally know something? Xiao Gui said: "If you don't give instructions occasionally, then some people will feel that there are no ghosts and spirits and are unscrupulous, doing everything in their backs." His late father Yao Angong once commented: "This may be the opinion of Lei Yanggong, and he pretended to tell the little devil. However, the same is true when measured by reason.
My late father, Yao Angong, had a servant who looked kind and rigid, but was actually the most scheming. One day, he took advantage of the master's request for help, exaggerating and extorting more than ten taels of silver. His wife looked like a chaste woman on the outside, and men dared not approach her, but secretly raised wild men. I had the idea of running away with my wild husband for a long time, but I had no travel expenses. Now the two stole the 12 taels of silver and fled. More than ten days later, the two were arrested and the matter was revealed. Our brothers were very happy, Yao Angong said: "The two things are intertwined, how can it be so coincidental. Maybe there are ghosts and gods in it, and ghosts and gods intervene in it, is it just to make people happy? No, it's a warning to people. So this kind of thing happened. , You should be wary, not just love. A and B are friends, A lives in Xiakou, and B lives in Bozhen, thirty miles apart. B's wife came to A's house for business, and A got her drunk and raped her. B Unable to express the pain, he expresses his gratitude to A, thinking that A has kept her wife for one night and the accommodation fee is waived. It was A's wife, who helped her home, and also stayed in the night to get drunk and raped her. A knew in her heart but couldn't say it, but expressed her gratitude. The old lady in the neighbor knew about it secretly, so she put her hands together and recited the scriptures: "There is such a thing, terrible. "Her son was helping people with perjury to file a lawsuit, and she called her son back in person. It would be good if you can make the old lady cover up.
When Maogong Zhenkou of Sichuan served as the governor of Hejian Prefecture, he said that people in his hometown walked among the mountains in the evening, sheltered from the rain and entered an abandoned temple, and there was already a person sitting under the eaves. Taking a closer look, it was his deceased uncle. He was afraid that he wanted to escape. His uncle hurriedly stopped him and said, "Because I have something to tell you, so I waited. It won't hurt you, don't be afraid. After I die, Your aunt lost your grandmother's favor and was often beaten for no reason. Although your aunt was obedient and did not resist, she harbored resentment and hatred in her heart, and cursed secretly in a place where no one was there. I was a servant in the underworld and saw the land God has written and reported many times. It is up to you to spread the word and persuade her to repent. If you don't know how to repent, you will inevitably fall into hell." After speaking, she disappeared. The villager came back and told his aunt that although she resolutely covered up and said no, but her face changed in panic, as if she was ashamed. It can be seen that the words of ghosts are not nonsense.
Mao Zhenkou also said: Someone was walking at night and encountered a man who looked like Li Xu, holding a prisoner in chains, sitting under a tree to rest. The man was tired, so he sat next to them and rested for a while. The prisoner was sobbing and Ricci beat him with the whip. The man couldn't bear it when he saw it, so he persuaded Li Xu to stop. Lixu said: "This is a shrewd man who has been accustomed to persecuting and harassing people in his life. The number of victims is as many as hundreds. The underworld judge sentenced him to be a pig for the seventh time, and I am taking him to reincarnate. Why do you have to pity him? !" The man was so frightened that he hurriedly got up and wanted to run, and the two ghosts also disappeared.
Yuewei Caotang Notes Volume Ⅲ Luanyang Xiaoxia Record Ⅲ
Admiral Yu Jinao said that he once walked in the open Gobi at night and saw something from a distance that looked like a person but was not a person. He was nearly ten feet tall and quickly chased after him. Admiral Yu's bow shot into its chest, it fell down and then got up again, and after hitting the second arrow it fell down and didn't move. Up close, it was a giant scorpion tiger. It's strange that it can walk upright like a human.
When Changji rebelled, he caught the rebels and killed them in the woods west of Dihua City (Dihua, Urumqi, now built as a prefecture. The woods are endless, commonly known as tree nests). This is the eighth year of the Wuzi year. moon. Later, there were several groups of black air in the forest, and the exchanges were quick, and the encounters when walking at night were fascinated. I said that this is a vicious and rebellious spirit that gathers together to form a dangerous and strange energy, just like the dead snakes, the residual poison still contaminates the plants and trees, which is not surprising. Any yin and evil qi will disappear when it encounters masculine qi. A few sergeants were dispatched to ambush and fire with muskets in the moonlit night, and they should be scattered.
There is a horse in the Guandi Temple in Urumqi, which was specially bought from the market for the deity. This horse likes to go to the mountains and forests to graze, rather than the troughs. Whenever the first and fifteenth sacrifices are made to the gods, the horse must return to the ancestral gate before dawn, standing like a clay sculpture. Standing in the same place every time, not bad at all. When encountering Xiaoyue, it does not miss the two days of the first and fifteenth days of the new year. After the sacrifice to the gods, I don't know where to go. I think it was the Taoist priest who led the horse to the outside of the temple before offering sacrifices to the gods, in order to make things mysterious. On the first day of the second lunar month in the thirty-fifth year of Qianlong's reign, I arrived at the Guandi Temple very early, and I really saw the horse walking slowly over the remnant snow, standing outside the temple gate with its ears down. There were absolutely no human footprints on the snow, which was strange enough.
The Zhunzhen Town, fifty-five li east of Xianxian County, is the Huaijia Town mentioned in "Jin Shi". There is a family named Ma in the town, and suddenly there are many strange things in the home. Every night, sometimes bricks are thrown, sometimes ghosts scream, and sometimes fires are emitted in places where no one is present. This kind of disturbance has not stopped for more than a year, and asking the warlock to pray to eliminate the disaster has no effect. Therefore, the Ma family bought another house and moved to another place. Someone rented the house of the Ma family, but it was still not peaceful, and soon moved out. Since then, no one dared to come and live. There was an old Confucian who didn't believe such a strange thing would happen, so he bought the Ma's house at a very cheap price. He chose an auspicious day to move into the house, and it was quiet and quiet, and nothing unusual happened. Many people say that the old Confucian morality is highly respected and can suppress the demon. Soon, a cunning thief came to the door to quarrel and insult the old Confucian, and people realized that all the strange things in the Ma family house were all done at night by the old Confucian bribing the thieves, and they were not really enchanting. My late father, Yao Angong, said, "Ghosts are only good at changing. The old Confucian is also so clever at changing. You can think of him as a real demon."
In July of the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign, Yao Angong met a monk at Yuanjiakou. The monk put his palms together and saluted, "It's been seventy-three years since we've seen each other, why don't you invite me to a fasting meal?" It happened that the hostel only sold vegetarian food, so the two of them ate together. Yao Angong asked how old the monk was, and the monk unpacked and took out an ultimatum. This ultimatum was issued in the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. Yao Angong asked again how many generations had been passed down to his generation. The monk immediately put the altar in the bag and said, "You doubt me, don't say it anymore." He left before finishing the meal, not knowing whether the monk was real or not. Yao Angong once warned me about this incident: "Scholars and officials are curious and are often deceived by such people. Even if they are true immortals and true Buddhas, I would rather miss them."
There is a small building on the rockery in my house, and the fox has lived in it for more than 50 years. People don't go up, and fox spirits don't come down, but they can automatically open and close doors and windows when there is no wind. The north of the building is called Lvyixuan, the old trees are lush and green, which is a place to enjoy the shade in summer. In the seventh month of the Wuchen year, suddenly at night I heard the sound of piano and chess. The boy servant came to tell Yao Angong, Yao Angong knew it was the fox spirit, and he didn't mind at all, but said to the boy servant, "It's better than drinking and gambling." The next day, he told Yun, "The passengers at sea have no scheming, so white Gulls can play with each other. They have been living together peacefully for a long time, and they should only be treated as if they were not heard or not." So far, there is no other mutation at all.
In the spring of the 32nd year of Qianlong's reign, I brought my family to the capital. Because the old house in Hufangqiao was not redeemed, he temporarily lived in a vacant house of Mr. Qian Xiangshu. I heard that there were foxes on the upper floor of the house, and there were sundries locked inside, and most people did not go up. I jokingly posted a poem on the wall: "I havetily moved the house to meet the king, the first floor and the upper floor are divided equally, and it is a scholar's habit to delay poetry, and I can sing it all night." One day, the maid went upstairs to unlock something and shouted. Something weird happened. I ran to look and saw that the ground was full of dust, and the lotus flowers were painted all over the place. So, I spread out the four treasures of the study and wrote a poem on the wall: "Immortal fruit is a good building to live in, but I'm not as good at literary style. I got 30 new paintings of Wu Jian, and I may draw Fuchuan one by one." A few days later, I opened the door to check. , the pen and paper remain intact. I told Qiu Wenda about it, and Qiu Wenda said, "Foxes from a scholarly family are more refined."
Feng Shukou, a native of Hejian, knows a lot about pen and ink. Whenever I encounter an opportunity, I always fail to succeed; I ask for help from others, but I promise but no benefit. The poverty of life and the depression of spirit forced him to put his hope in the guidance of the gods, so he went to Lu Xian Temple to pray for a dream. At night, I dreamed of a person who said to him: "Don't resent the poor people in the world, your situation is caused by yourself. In your previous life, you used to talk empty words to gain the reputation of a generous elder: every time you encounter good things, you know in your heart that it is inevitable. If you cant do it, you must encourage people again and again to make people appreciate your support; every time you meet a wicked person, you know in your heart that you will never forgive, and you must defend yourself again and again to make people appreciate your salvation. It did not cause harm or benefit to anyone, but all the kindness belongs to you, and the resentment belongs to others. The ingenuity in your heart is already too much. Besides, your participation in support and salvation is your own responsibility. Outside the bureau, success or failure is borne by others, not oneself. If things involve you a little, you will retreat for fear of not being quick, and sit back and watch others burn to death and drown. Willing to lift. Can you continue to ask this kind of mentality? Use your own mentality to think of others, others will treat you with good looks, concern on the surface but indifference in the heart, shouldn't you? A wrong deed can be offset by a good deed. As for the crime committed in the mind, it is not tolerated by the laws of the underworld. Your life is like this, and it is okay to cultivate in the next life. Later. Feng Shukou really died of starvation.
