“New entries Qi Xie, or What Confucius did not say” Yuan May in summary
Palace on the Edge of the Earth
Li Chang-ming, a military official, died suddenly, but his body did not cool for three days, and they were afraid of burying him. Suddenly, the stomach of the deceased swelled, poured, and Lee resurrected.
It turned out that he was among the loose sands, on the river bank. There he saw a palace with yellow tiles and guards. They tried to seize him, a fight broke out. From the palace came an order to stop the swara and wait for the command. Felled the night away. In the morning they ordered the guest to go home. The guards handed it over to some shepherds, who suddenly attacked him with their fists. Lee fell into the river, swallowed water, so that the stomach swelled, wetted and revived.
Ten days later, Lee really died.
Before that night, giants in black robes appeared to his neighbor, demanding that they be taken to Li’s house. There at the door they were waiting for two more fierce views. They broke into the house,
Miracles with a butterfly
A certain E went to congratulate his friend Wang on his sixtieth birthday. Some child, introducing himself as Van’s brother, volunteered to go with him. Soon it was getting dark. Thunderstorm began.
E looked around and saw that the child was hanging down on the horse with his head down, and his legs, as if they were walking in the sky, and thunder struck every time with his foot, and the steam was puffing from his mouth. He was frightened terribly, but he concealed his fear.
Van came out to meet them. I greeted my brother, who turned out to be a silversmith. E calmed down. They sat down to celebrate. When they began to lay down for the night, E did not want to sleep in the same room as the child. He insisted. I had to lay the third old servant.
Night has come. The lamp went out. The child sat on the bed, sniffed the canopy, stuck out a long tongue, and then attacked the old servant and began to devour him. In horror he called E to the sovereign
Woke up – next to neither the servant nor the children. Only blood on the floor. They sent a man to know about the brother. It turned out that he worked in his workshop and congratulated Wang did not go.
The corpse comes to complain of offense
Once a certain Gu was asked to spend the night in an old monastery. The monk, who had let him in, said that the funeral service was being performed in the evening, and asked to look after the temple. Gu locked himself in the temple, extinguished the lamp and lay down.
In the middle of the night someone knocked on the door. He was called an ancient friend of Gu, who died more than ten years ago. Gu refused to open.
The knocker threatened to call for help demons. I had to open it. The sound of the falling body was heard, and the voice said that he was not any friend, but a recent deceased, whom the villain had poisoned his wife. The voice begged to inform everyone about the crime.
Then there were voices. The frightened monks returned. It turned out that the deceased disappeared during the service. Gu told them about the incident. They lit up the corpse with torches and saw that blood was flowing from all the holes. The next morning they told the authorities about the atrocity.
The devil, appropriating someone else’s name, requires sacrifices
A certain tsar’s bodyguard chased the hare, accidentally pushed the old man into the well and rushed away in fright. The same night the old man burst into his house and caused outrages. The family begged him for forgiveness, but he demanded to write a memorial tablet and bring him every day a victim, like an ancestor. They did as he ordered, and the excesses ceased.
Since then, the bodyguard has always visited the ill-fated well side, but once, accompanying the sovereign, he could not do it. At the well, he saw a familiar old man, who, grabbing him by the hem of his robe, began to scold the young man for a long offense and to bash. The bodyguard, praying, said that he makes sacrifices to make amends. The old man was even more outraged: what are such sacrifices, if he, fortunately, did not drown then in the well, but escaped?!
The bodyguard took the old man to him and showed him the sign. It turned out to be a completely different name. The old man in anger dropped the tablet on the floor. Laughter was heard in the air and immediately fell silent.
Daos selects a pumpkin pumpkin
One day, the dao knocked at the gate of the Honorable Zhu and said that he must see his friend who is in the master’s office. Surprised, Zhu led him to his office. Tao pointed to the scroll with the image of the immortal Lew and said that this is his friend, who once stole his pumpkin from him.
With these words, the Taoist made a gesture with his hand, the pumpkin disappeared from the picture and was with him. Shu Zhu wondered why the monk was a pumpkin. He said that a terrible famine is coming, and in order to preserve human lives, it is necessary to melt the pills of immortality in a pumpkin. And the Taoist showed Zhu several pills, promising to come again on Mid-Autumn Festival, when there will be a bright moon.
The agitated master presented the monk in exchange for ten pills of a thousand gold. Tao accepted the purse, hung it on his belt like a feather, and disappeared.
In the summer, there was no famine. On the Mid-Autumn Festival it was raining, the moon was not visible, and the Taoist never appeared again.
The three tricks the demon had had were exhausted
They say that the demon has three tricks: one – to entice, the second – to obstruct, the third – to intimidate.
A certain Liu saw one evening a woman, powdered, with nasresmlennymi eyebrows, running with a rope in her hands. Noticing it, she hid behind a tree, and dropped the rope. Lui picked up the rope. A strange smell came from her, and Lyu realized that the woman he met was a hanging-bird. He put the rope in his bosom and walked away.
The woman blocked Lyu’s way. He is left, she is there, he is right, she is, too. I understood: before him there is a “demonic wall”. Then Liu moved directly to her, and the woman, sticking out her long tongue and disheveling her hair, from which blood dripped, started screaming at him.
But Liu was not frightened, which means that three demonic tricks – to entice, discourage and frighten – failed. The devil took her initial appearance, fell to her knees and admitted that she had once hung out with her husband, and now she went to look for a substitute, but Liu confused her plans. The prayer of the rector of the Buddhist temple can save her.
They just happened to be our Lui. He sang a loud prayer, and the woman, as if suddenly seeing, ran away. Since then, as the locals said, in these places, all evil spirits increased.
Souls of the dead often turn into flies
Dai Yu-chi and his friend drank wine, admiring the moon. Outside the city near the bridge he saw a man in blue clothes walking with an umbrella in his hand, and noticing Dai, hesitated, not daring to go forward.
Thinking that it was a robber, Dai grabbed a stranger. He tried to deceive him, but in the end he confessed everything. He turned out to be a demon whom the official of the Kingdom of the Dead sent to the city to arrest people according to the list.
Let me look through the list and see the name of my own brother. However, he did not believe the stories of a stranger, and so he did nothing and remained on the bridge.
After a while, a man in blue appeared again. When asked by Dai, he replied that he had managed to arrest everyone and is now carrying them on his umbrella to the Kingdom of the Dead. Dai looked, and on the umbrella hummed five thread bound flies. Having burst out laughing, Dai released the flies, and the messenger in horror rushed after them in pursuit.
At dawn Dai returned to the city and went to see his brother. Home told that his brother had been ill for a long time and died that night. Then suddenly he came to life, and at dawn he again went into another world. Dai understood that the stranger did not deceive him and in vain he did not believe him.
The Honorable Chen Ke-chin blows to drive away the spirit
Chen was friends with his fellow villager, poor scholar Li Fu. One autumn they were going to have a chat and a drink, but it turned out that the wine was over in Lee’s house, and he followed him to the bench.
Chen began reading the scroll with poems. Suddenly the door opened and a woman with disheveled hair appeared. Seeing Chen, she backed away. He decided that someone from the house was afraid of the stranger, and turned away so as not to embarrass her. The woman quickly hid some thing and went into the women’s quarters. Chen looked and found a bloodstained rope that made a stench. I understood: it was the spirit of the hanging-bird. He took the rope and hid it in his shoe.
After a while, the woman appeared behind the rope, and not finding it, attacked Chen, began to let on him a stream of icy air, so that the unfortunate almost died. Then from the last forces Chen himself blew on a woman. First, the head disappeared, then the chest, and after a moment only a light smoke reminded of the hanging-fan.
Soon Li Fu returned and discovered that his wife hanged himself right by the bed. But Chen knew that she could not really harm herself, he kept the rope at home. And in fact, his wife was easily able to revive. She said that she could no longer bear poverty. My husband spent all the money on the guests. And then, still unknown with disheveled hair, called a neighbor, whispered that her husband took the last hairpin and went to the gambling house. Then she offered to bring the “cord of Buddha”! promising that the woman herself will turn into a Buddha. I followed the cord and did not return. The wife herself was exactly asleep, until her husband helped her.
They asked the neighbors. It turned out that a few months ago a woman from the village hanged herself.
Washes in the river embryos
A certain Dean Kui was sent with a dispatch and on the way came across a stone stele with the inscription “The border of the worlds of yin and yang.” He came closer and imperceptibly found himself outside the world of the yang, the world of the living. I wanted to return, but I lost my way. I had to go where the leg was carried. In an abandoned temple, he wiped off the dust from the image of the spirit with the cow’s head. Then I heard a murmur of water. Looked: a woman was washing vegetables in the river. Approached and learned his late wife. She also recognized her husband and was terribly frightened, because the afterlife is not a place for the living.
She told me that after her death she was identified as a wife to the servant of the local sovereign, a spirit with a cow’s head, and her duty is to wash the embryos. As you wash, such a person will be born.
She led her ex-husband to her home and hid her before her husband’s arrival. There was a spirit with a cow’s head. At once sniffed – smelled alive. It was necessary to confess everything and beg to save the unfortunate. The Spirit agreed, explaining that he was doing it not only for the sake of his wife, but because he himself did a good deed, having cleansed him, the spirit, the image in the temple. You just need to find out in the office how much your husband is left to live.
In the morning the spirit found out everything. It took a long time to live with her husband. The Spirit was just on a mission to visit the world of people and could bring the lost from the world of the dead. He gave him a piece of smelly meat. It turned out that the sovereign of the underworld punished a certain rich man, ordering him to hammer him in the back, a hook. He managed to snatch a hook with meat, but since then on his back – a rotting wound. If you break a piece of meat and sprinkle the wound, everything will immediately heal.
Returning home, Dean did this. The rich man gave him a reward of five hundred gold.
Dao Lui Exorcists the Dragon
Daos Liu was over a hundred years old, he could breathe with a thunderous noise, he could not eat for ten days, and then eat five hundred hens at a time; he gasps at a man – he burns like fire; put a joke on his back a raw patty – instantly bake. In the winter and summer I went in one canvas gown.
In those days, Wang Chao-en erected a stone dam. It seemed that there would be no end to construction. Lui understood: there are evil dragon spells. This dragon once again brought down the former dam, and now only Liu could descend under the water, fight with the dragon. However, it is necessary that Wang, as the head, issued a decree about this construction, which in oily paper will be tied to the back of the Taoist.
They did as he said. Leaning against the sword, Liu entered the water, and the battle began to boil. Only the next day at midnight a wounded dao appeared on the shore. He reported that the paw had been cut off from the dragon and he had fled to the East Sea. With his own wounds, the daos coped himself.
The next day the building began to boil. Soon the dam was erected. Daos became famous, and then he gained fame as a healer. Many cured of serious ailments. His disciple told me that Lui every morning at sunrise swallows the sun’s rays, gaining great strength.
