Chapter 10 - In the deep mountains of Urumqi, Wranglers often see villains, one foot tall, all men, women and children. When the red willow is blooming, the willow branches are folded and turned into a small count

In the deep mountains of Urumqi, Wranglers often see villains, one foot tall, all men, women and children. When the red willow is blooming, the willow branches are folded and turned into a small country, which is worn on the head, dances and dances in line, and makes a yo-yo sound, just like singing from a score. Sometimes they went to the camp to steal food, and when they were caught, they knelt down and wept. Bind it and die without eating. After letting it go, at first I didn't dare to leave immediately. After walking a few feet, I looked back, or chased after it and yelled at it, and still knelt down and cried. It was a little farther away from the entrance, and it was estimated that he could not catch up, so he went across the mountain. But their nests are never found. This thing is not a tree, nor is it a monster in the mountains, it is probably a rogue of the legendary dwarf kingdom. I don't know their names, but they like to wear red willows because they look like children, so they are called Hongliuwa. The county magistrate Qiu Tianjin once got one because he inspected the ranch, pickled it and brought it back. Take a closer look at its mandible hair, it is no different from the same person. There is no doubt that there are people who know the mouths mentioned in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas". If there are very small ones, there must be very large ones, and the kingdom of Longbo mentioned in Liezi's book must be definitely there.

Outside the fortress, there is a plant called snow lotus, which grows in the snow of Chongshan. Its shape is similar to the current daisy, so it is named lotus. When snow lotus is born, it must be in pairs, one male and one female, the male is big and the female is small. But the male and female lotus do not grow together, nor do they grow on the same root. The distance between the two is always one or two feet away. When I saw one of them, I searched for the other one, but I couldn't find it. Probably just like rabbit silk and tuckahoe, they are both bred from the same kind of qi, so the two have the same breath. Anyone who sees the snow lotus flower, keeps silent, and goes to explore it, he will surely get it. If you yell and tell your companions with your fingers, it will shrink into the snow without a trace, even if you dig through the snow and search for it, you will not be able to find it. Plants and trees know, this reason is inexplicable. Locals say that this is caused by the mountain gods cherishing snow lotus, maybe so! This peanut is in an extremely cold place, but the performance is extremely hot. In the unity of opposites of yin and yang, the right side prevails, but it does not favor the extinction side. The accumulated yin is condensed on the outside, and the pure yang must be condensed on the inside. The Kan hexagram is one yang line sandwiched between two yin lines, and the two hexagrams of Peihe Fu are one yang line above or below the five yin lines, which are all hexagram images of snow lotus. Using snow lotus wine as a tonic will often promote blood fever and smooth circulation. Some people use it to make aphrodisiacs, and the consequences are extremely strong. The harmony between the yin and yang of heaven and earth, all things can grow normally. The internal yin and yang of the human body are in harmony, and each system can function normally. Therefore, "Su Wen" said: "Excessive excess is harmful, and inheritance is control." Since Danxi put forward the statement that "yang often has excess yin and often lacks", doctors have not understood the original purpose of this sentence, and often use cold medicine to replenish yin and eliminate yang. Killing angry. Zhang Jiebin and others overcorrected, so they focused on tonifying yang and driving yin, and used a lot of tonics such as ginseng and cinnamon sticks, which led to murder. This is not understandable." Although the doctrine of the Book of Changes advocates Fuyang, it is not without restrictions. Regarding the Shang Jiuyi line in the Qian hexagram, a warning has been given that "a high dragon has regrets". The extravagance and cravings of the world are getting stronger and stronger, and many people are dragged down by cravings. Tonics are easy to temporarily take effect, so more and more people believe in it. Therefore, I think that the emphasis on killing Yang Qi is like implementing Han Fei's study of criminal names; while focusing on replenishing Yang Qi, it is like implementing Shang Yang's technique of enriching the country. The effect can be seen in the initial use, but if the accumulation does not return, the root will be damaged, and the disadvantages are the same. It is also the truth that Xuelian's merit does not make up for misfortune.

Tang Taizong's "Sanzang Shengjiao Preface" said that the area of wind disaster and ghost disaster seems to be the Turpan that has been developed today. People who walk alone in the Turpan desert often hear their name called, and as soon as they answer, they go away with the call and never return it. There is another wind cave in Tianshan, as big as a well, from which the wind comes out from time to time. Every time the wind comes out, in a place dozens of miles away, the sound of the waves is heard first, and the wind blows after a quarter or two. The diameter of the area that the wind passes through is no more than three or four miles wide, and people can run to avoid it. If you can't hide, you can connect many cars together with thick ropes. It was also blown up and down by the wind, like a boat on the waves of a big river. If only one car encounters the wind, then even the carriage, the horse, the people and the goods will be blown up by the wind as light as a leaf, and it will be blown away somewhere. This kind of wind blows from south to north, and then blows from north to south after a few days, as if breathing in and out. When I was in Urumqi, I received an official document from Pi Zhan, saying that one day, Lei Ting, a military academy, was blown across Lingbei by the wind, and asked if he had been found. In addition, Changji's verdict reported that one day at noon, a man came down from the sky, and it was Xu Ji, a prisoner sent by Turner, who was blown by the wind. Soon, Turnagel's county magistrate reported that Xu Ji fled the same day. Counting the time, from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock, he has flown more than two hundred miles. This is not surprising in this place, but it would be strange in other places. Xu Ji said that when the wind was blowing, he was as drunk as a dream, his body was spinning like a wheel, his eyes could not be opened, his ears seemed to be buzzing, his mouth and nose seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't breathe. . It took me a long time to catch my breath. According to "Zhuangzi", "Heaven and earth breathe out, and its name is wind." Qi is everywhere, there should be no caves. Presumably, the qi got together by chance, which caused this anomaly. Just as the fire qi accidentally gathers in Bashu, a fire well is formed, and the water veins accidentally gather in Yutian, and it becomes the source of the Yellow River.

Mr. He Li'an said: According to legend, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar who was walking alone among the overgrown grass and trees and heard the sound of reading. I followed the sound and found an old man sitting in the middle of the cemetery, with more than a dozen foxes beside them, each holding a book and squatting down. When the old man saw him, he got up to meet him, and the foxes stood like people holding books. The scholar thought that since he knew how to read, there would be no harm. So I met them with courtesy and sat down on the ground. Ask: "What is the purpose of studying?" The old man said, "We are all cultivators. There are two ways for foxes to seek immortality: one is to collect essence, worship the stars, and gradually change to psychic transformation. Zhengguo, this is seeking immortals from demons. But if you enter the evil path, you will violate the laws of heaven. This path is fast and dangerous. One is to first cultivate into a human being, and since you can become a human, then you will learn the inner alchemy. This is to seek immortals from people. Although the cultivation of guidance is not an overnight effort, but long-term persistence will naturally lead to consummation. This road is tortuous and safe. However, the body cannot change itself, it changes according to the heart. The books of sages and sages understand the principles of the Three Cards and the Five Constants. When the mind changes, the body also changes. The scholar borrowed his books to read the Five Classics, The Analects of Confucius, The Classic of Filial Piety, and Mencius, etc., but only the Classics text without annotations. Question: "If the scriptures are not explained, how can they explain them?" The old man said: "My generation studies, only seeking to understand the truth. The words of the sages are not difficult, but they are taught and accepted orally, and the meaning of the words can be understood. What do you want to explain?" The scholar wondered at the strangeness of his comments, and was at a loss as to what was right. When I asked him about his lifespan, he replied, "I can't even remember it. I only remember the days when I was educated. There are no engraved and printed books in the world." Then he asked, "After several dynasties, are there any similarities or differences in the world? ?" Answer: "Most of them are not too far apart. It's just that before the Tang Dynasty, there were only Confucian scholars. After the Northern Song Dynasty, it was often heard that a certain Jia was a sage. This is a small difference." Later, I met this old man on the way and wanted to talk to him, but the old man turned his head and walked away. Press, this is probably the fable of Mr. The master once said: "Using scriptures to seek out the background of the subjects, if they are incomplete, they will deal with them. The more beautiful the words are, the more absurd the scriptures are. Using scriptures to establish a portal, there are many different opinions, debates and refutations, and the more detailed and scriptural the explanations are. The more desolate and sparse." Their semantics match like a syllable. He once said: "Any ingenious means must have some instability in the middle. If you take a steady step, even if you make a small mistake, you will not break your arm and hurt your foot." Also the same meaning.

There was a man who helped to bring down the immortals from Jiangnan. The immortals he invited call themselves people from Crouching Tiger Mountain. A painting is only a few strokes of orchid and bamboo, and it is a painting if it has a body. As for poetry, it's pretty simple. I once saw a quatrain written by this fairy when he came down from the altar: "I love killing the bright red and the water is blooming, and the little stop is wandering from the crane. The flower god blames me for the green clothes, so I can sleep steadily with the berry moss." The word for car is limited; for car poems, the word for boat is limited. The two poems wrote: "The shallow water is more than two feet away, how is the light boat going? Looking back on the shore, the spring mud is slippery, worrying about killing a tired cow and a stupid car." Reining the horse, the two wheels turn slowly and steadily like a boat." Most of the other poems are similar. When asked about his name, Gu replied: "People outside the world, why do you need to leave your name? If you have to ask, then only one person can deal with it." If you learn the talisman of descending the immortal, you can also invite the immortal, but most of the characters written are unrecognizable, which is caused by the unskilled hands of the fuja. One day, Yi burned the Immortal Subduing Talisman, but the Immortal did not come. After a few days, he burned the talisman and summoned it, but he still didn't come. Later, the immortal came to A's house, and A asked B why he did not come down. Xian's judgment said: "In life, the word filial piety is the foundation of being a person; if you are ashamed in filial piety, you can't be a person. This person has recently split the family property with his elder brother, hiding a thousand gold; This legacy debt should be repaid by the brothers, and in fact, the part of the repayment by the elder brother should be taken as his own. Although I am wandering outside the world and do not interfere in personnel affairs, morally speaking, I cannot have any fate with this kind of person. Please tell me what I mean, and dont blaspheme me again in the future. Then he showed A the sentence: You recently got fresh fruit and distributed it to every child for them to eat, but you forgot to not give it to the orphan and nephew, which caused He sobbed all night. Although it wasn't intentional not to give it, it was also caused by discrimination. If something like this happens again in the future, I will not come to you." My late father Yao Angong said, "I saw his poems, I think he is a ghost; but looking at this discussion, it seems that he is actually a fairy."

Tian Gengye, the Admiral of Guangxi, began to marry Mrs. Meng and died very early. When he was guarding Liangzhou, Yue Ye sat alone in the Yazhai, dreaming in a trance that his wife came down from the treetops. The two said a few polite words to each other as before, and Mrs. Meng said, "I was originally a goddess, and I was destined to be your wife. When my fate is full, I will go back. I passed by here today and met because my fate was not yet exhausted. "Tian Gengye asked me how much official I can be? The lady said, "Your official position will not end here, and you will be promoted soon." Then she asked me how old I could live? Madam said, "It's hard to say. When you die, you will not be in the village, not in the government office, not in the roadhouse, nor in the battlefield, and you will know it by yourself." I asked if we could meet again after death. ? The lady said, "It's up to you. If you work hard, you will ascend to heaven after death, and you will be able to meet. Otherwise, you will never see each other again."

The servant Wei Zao has a dissolute and frivolous personality and likes to peek at women's bodies. One day, I met a young girl outside the village. I didn't know her name and address, so I flirted with her. The girl half pushed and said nothing, her eyes were full of emotion, then she smiled, turned and headed west. Wei Zao stared at her, and the girl looked back and smiled. Wei followed her. Gradually approaching, the girl's face blushed and said in a low voice: "There are so many people that people are embarrassed to see, you leave me half a mile and follow me. When you get home, I will wait for you in the carport outside the wall, remember , there is a cow tied under the jujube tree, and the one with a raft next to it will arrive." After that. Wei Zao walked farther and farther, and in the evening he would arrive at Lijiawa, twenty miles away from his home. It rained all night, the weather was just clear, and there were no footprints on the road. Wei Zao saw the girl get into the carport from a distance, he was secretly happy, and hurried over. The girl sat up with his back and was about to hug him when the girl suddenly turned her head, but she looked like a Rakshasa ghost, her teeth were like serrated hands like iron hooks, her face was black and her eyes flashed like lightning. Wei Zao was so frightened that he turned around and ran away. The Rakshasa ghost chased after him for more than 20 miles and arrived at Xiangguozhuang, it was nearly nine o'clock in the evening. He knew it was his father-in-law's house. He knocked on the door and knocked down a young girl. He also stumbled. Several women rushed over, holding clothes tampering sticks and punching them hard. Wei Zao was speechless. I" yelled. After a while, an old lady came out with a lamp and realized it was her son-in-law. Everyone was shocked and laughed. The next day, my father-in-law took Wei Zao home in an ox cart. Bed rested for more than two months. On the day Wei Zao saw the Rakshasa ghost, no one else saw it. Did he call evil with evil, and the fox ghost took the opportunity to play him? Qinghu, my elder brother, said, "Wei Zao no longer dares to look for flowers and willows, and he bows his head and walks over when he encounters women on the road. It is appropriate to regard the above incident as a punishment from the gods."

More than ten miles from my home, there is a blind man named Wei. On the New Year's Eve of the Wuwu Year, he went to all the people who often told him to play and sing to say goodbye. All the families gave him food and came back by himself. Halfway through, he stumbled and fell into a dry well. Because it is in an open field, the path is remote, and everyone is watching the old age, so there are no pedestrians on the road. He shouted loudly, his mouth was dry, and he didn't answer. Fortunately, the air at the bottom of the well was warm, and there were cakes to eat. When I was very thirsty, I ate fruit, and I didn't die for a few days. It happened that the butcher Wang Yisheng drove the pig back, and he was still half a mile away from the well. Suddenly, the rope broke and the pig fled. He ran wildly in the wild field, and also stumbled and fell into the well. Wang Yisheng took the hook and pulled out the pig, only to find that the blind man had only a little breath left. The well was not where the butcher was supposed to pass, as if some kind of divine power was in control. When the late elder brother Qinghu asked about the situation in the well, the blind man said: "At that time, all thoughts were empty, and my heart was like death. I just thought of my old mother lying ill and waiting for the blind son to take care of. Now even the blind son can't get it. At that time, I am afraid that I have already starved to death, and I feel that the pain is penetrating to the liver and spleen, and it is unbearable." The deceased brother said: "If it is not for this idea, the pigs that Wang Yisheng chased will definitely break the rope."

Qi Da was a very powerful robber in Xian County. He once carried out a robbery with a group of robbers, and when one of the robbers saw the beauty of the robbed woman, he would rape him. He first threatened with a knife, and the woman swore to death. Then he took the woman's hands upside down, tied her to a bench, stripped her underclothes, and ordered two other thieves, one on the left and one on the right, to grab the woman's feet. Qi Da was looking at the house from the house, and when he heard the call of the woman in the house, he immediately jumped down from the roof ridge, rushed into the house with a sharp edge, and shouted sharply: "Who dares to do this, there is no me!" Fight, with eyes like a hungry tiger. At this critical extremity, the beautiful woman was saved from a disaster by the sudden appearance of Qi Da. Later, all the group thieves were arrested and executed side by side. Only Qi Da slipped through the net and was never caught. According to the group of thieves, Qi Da was actually hiding under the manger when officers and soldiers were searching for him. According to the officers and soldiers in charge of the search, they searched around the manger several times, only to see a bundle of rotten bamboo poles under the trough, about a dozen of them, covered with dust and filth, which seemed to have been left for many years and never been touched Pass.

Gongsheng Zhang Qinglan said that there are foxes living in the Buddhist scriptures pavilion of a temple, and most monks live in your honor. It was unbearably hot one day, and a packing monk thought it was noisy below, so he moved up to live. The monks suddenly heard the fox on the beam say: "Everyone will go back to their own residences for the time being. I have a lot of relatives and will move to your place." The fox said, "The monk lives here." The monks asked him why he was hiding from the monk. The fox said that the monk was a Buddhist disciple and he dared not hide. The monks asked again, "Aren't we also monks?" The fox did not answer. The monks insisted on getting to the bottom of things, and the fox said: "You think you are monks, I have nothing to say." My cousin Mao Yuan heard this and said: "This fox is black and white, and he can also make people of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Deep introspection!"

A sees that B's wife is beautiful and loves it, so he tells C. C said: "Her husband is very rude, so he can think of something. If you don't spare the money, I can do this for you." He secretly hid in B's house during the day, but was discovered by B on purpose. When caught, you admit to trying to steal. Daytime is not the time to steal, and your clothes have no signs of stealing, so you must suspect adultery, but don't admit it. Waiting for the government to interrogate again and then admit it, the guilt is just wearing a flail and eating a board. I'll find a way to get this case out of the way, and you won't suffer. "This prodigal son did as C ordered, and in the end it was nothing. However, B actually divorced his wife. C was afraid that B would regret it, so he taught his wife Fang's family to sue B, and C secretly bribed witnesses, etc., causing his wife to lose the case. The wife was annoyed, so she married her daughter again. B was also annoyed, and let his ex-wife marry A. Jia bought B's wife at a high price as a concubine. C taught the prodigal son to bite A and expose his conspiracy. , and taught A to spend money to avoid disasters. After all, C has done a thousand taels of silver. At this time, C heard that a sacrifice was held in the temple, so he tried his best to prepare the utensils needed for the sacrifice, and planned to pray for a long life. The day before this In the evening, the goddess of the temple wished to dream and said: "He has prepared a rich ritual to sacrifice to me, where did the money come from? When he comes tomorrow, don't ask him to enter the temple. Ghosts and gods do not accept sacrifices that do not conform to etiquette, let alone sacrifices that do not conform to morality? "After Bing came, the temple Zhu said God's words and did not let him enter the temple. Bing was angry and didn't believe it. As soon as he walked to the steps, the people who carried Shixi fell down, and all the equipment they prepared broke. He went back. After more than a year, A died. The prostitute was an accomplice, so he often came to Bs house and took the opportunity to abduct his daughter and escape. After being tried for adultery, he was sent back to his place of origin by the government. He slept for three nights, and then sold it to others. Some people say that when C died, B was not married, but C's wife married him. This is just a happy saying, there is no such thing. That libertine later became a Beggars, Bing women reduced to prostitutes, this is true.

Translation

Li Ciwan of Yidu said: When Mr. Qiugu traveled to the south, he borrowed and lived in the garden pavilion of a family. One night, after going to bed, I wanted to write a poem. While thinking about it, I heard someone say from the window: "Have you not slept yet? I have been addicted to your beautiful words for more than ten years. Now I am fortunate to stay in this room and eavesdrop on your speech, although it has been a whole month. , I always hate that I don't have the opportunity to ask difficult questions for advice. I worry that you may suddenly go elsewhere and can't express what I think to my heart's content. This has become a regret in my life. Can you not refuse your talk, sir?" Qiugu asked, "Who are you?" Answer: "The villa is deep, and the doors are closed at night, so naturally it is not accessible to human beings. Mr.'s mind is peaceful and broad-minded. It's scary, so there's no need to delve into it." Asked: "Why don't you enter the room to meet Kim?" Answer: "Mr.'s mind is free and easy, and I'm tired of the etiquette form. As long as there can be spiritual communication, why must it be between the body and the body? What?" Qiu Gu responded to him every day, and discussed the six meanings of the Book of Songs deeply. It went on like this for a few nights. Once, in a drunken play, he asked: "I listen to your argument, it is not a god or a fairy, nor a ghost or a fox. Could it be that Dongpo said, 'The wooden guests in the mountains explain poems, right?' After speaking, there was silence. Peeking through a crack in the window, the incomplete moon was slightly bright, and a vague shadow passed over the eaves of the water pavilion. The old tree in the garden towered into the clouds, and it was suspected that it was the spirit of the tree. Ciwan also said: When Qiugu was talking with the spirits, some guests were eavesdropping. Jingwei said that the poems of Yuyang Shanren are like famous mountains and rivers, strange trees and flowers, but there is no one inch of soil to plant grains; like carved railings, winding terraces, pool gardens and buildings, the scenery is pleasant, but there is no shelter from the bedroom. Wind and rain: like the ancient utensils of the Yi Dingkou washing machine, the colors are mixed and bright, and the table is piled up, but there is no cooking utensils such as cauldrons for cooking rice; like the splendid weaving, the exquisiteness is like the loom from the fairy, but there is no fur robe. Commoners are used to resist the cold; like dancing clothes and singing fans, there are many concubines, but there are no housewives to preside over the housekeeping, cooking and food; just like King Liang Xiao's Rabbit Garden and Shi Chong's Jingu Garden, there are elegant guests, but no good friends to advise. Remonstrative words. Qiugu is extremely appreciated by the festival. It also explains that the poems at the end are like mediocre music, messy and melodious, so Yuyang uses a fresh poetic style to save them; the pompous sound of the poetry of the near people is increasing day by day, so the gentleman uses a deep and revealing style of poetry to save. Its power is inherited, and it is reasonable to say that one should not prevail over the other. In private consideration of the two sects, they should be reconciled and complementary. Saying that it was Qiugu still felt injustice.

There is a Taoist priest in Urumqi who sells medicine in the street market. Some people say that this Taoist priest is a witch. When people see him staying in a hotel overnight, they always take out a small gourd from his pouch before going to bed, pour two pills of black stuff, and then two girls appear to accompany him to sleep. Can't see at dawn. When asked where the girl was, he said there was none at all. I remembered the story of Zhou Yuexi recorded in "Quigeng Lu" and said, "This is a Taoist priest who has taken someone else's life and soul. This sorcery will break when it eats horse meat." Secretly told the host of the hostel, saying that the hostel happened to have horse meat, and asked the monks to eat it. When the Taoist heard this, he turned around and left, saying, "How can you eat horse meat?" I became more and more suspicious of the Taoist, and planned to interrogate the Taoist. My colleague Chen Tiqiao said to me, "It's not what you saw with your own eyes that the Taoist priest carried the girl secretly. It's not what you saw with your own eyes. You don't eat horse meat, and it's not what you saw with your own eyes. Zhou Yuexi's story is from Tao Jiucheng's novel, I don't know if it's true or not. I dont know if it works. You believe in rumors, and you suddenly start a prison case based on unsubstantiated hearsay. It doesnt seem right. Idle people should not be allowed to stay outside the Great Wall, and it would be okay to order the relevant departments to deport him. That's it." So I ended my original plan. When the general Wen Gong heard this, he said, "It would be too rash to interrogate this Taoist priest. If he fears punishment and confesses to others, the stakes are very important, and there is no conclusive proof. How will it end? If he is deported , it would be too conservative. If he moved to another place and created troubles, saying that he had lived in Urumqi for a long time, who would take the responsibility? According to customs customs, people with suspicious behavior should be questioned and searched, and if there is evidence, they should be handed over to the competent department; If it proves to be true, wouldnt it be great to develop an official document to send him back to his original country so that he cant deceive the people? We both admired Duke Wens opinion when we heard it.

The scholar Zhuang Mukou, who was moored by the Yangtze River with his father, Mr. Shu Shi, stumbled into the water at night, but the people on the boat did not know it. While he was up and down in the water, he heard someone say: "Save Fujian Xuezheng. . Later, he was indeed appointed as Fujian Xuezheng. When he took office, he mentioned the above-mentioned things and said to me, "Am I going to come back?" He later died in office. Also, his elder brother Ren Shilang, in the eighth year of Yongzheng, caught an earthquake in his private residence in the capital and was pinned down in an alley. It happened that the two walls collapsed opposite each other, supporting each other like a herringbone tent. His brother spent a day and night inside before being dug out. Isn't this life and death?

Mr. He Li'an said that when he was thirteen or fourteen, he returned to Beijing with his father's dismissal from office. The boat is narrow due to many people. He put the mat on the big box to sleep. At night, he felt that a hand was pressing against him, his palm was cold, and it took a long time for him to wake up. From then on, it was like this every night, and it was said that it was qi deficiency, but after taking medicine, it didn't work, but it was good to go ashore. It was later learned that the box belonged to the servant. Before leaving, the servants secretly burned the mother's coffin and body, wrapped the remains in clothes, and hid them in a box. Maybe something weird happened because people were sleeping on big boxes and the ghosts were so overwhelmed? In this way, it is believed to be true that wandering spirits from other places can go home with their remains.
