Toward evening he wandered into the temple. There was a coffin there. From
Once, drunk on a visit, the student still wandered into the temple. The girl was already waiting for him. She took her hand, led her to the coffin, the lid rose, and the student with her lover entered the coffin. There he died.
The neighbor missed a student. I found that temple and saw the piece of the student’s dress peeping out from under the coffin lid. They opened the coffin, and there the dead student in the arms of his dead friend. So they were buried together at the Western gate.

For a long time a daos-hermit thought over the verdict and ordered: a torch that emits double light, burned, all three taken into custody and sent to the most terrible prison of the lower, ninth, inferno.

Once in a hop Yuan joked over the green dress beloved. She was offended, she thought, he hints at her contemptible position as a concubine-the lawful wives dressed in yellow. I had to tell such a story. In a past life, both the Yuan and the virgin served in a rich house. They passionately fell in love with each other, but on the denunciation they were punished with death.

Notes on the hairpin – gold phoenix
Rich neighbors talked their young children, and as a present to the future bride was presented a golden hairpin in the form of a phoenix.
Soon the groom’s father was transferred to the service to a distant land, and for fifteen years no news came to them.
The girl without sudozhenogo missed, fell ill and died. In deep sorrow, the parents placed the body of the daughter in the coffin, and a golden hairpin was stuck in the hair-the memory of the groom.
Two months later, the groom himself appeared, young Mr. Cui. Over the years he was orphaned, and the inconsolable parents of the bride offered him shelter and food. Once the younger sister of the deceased dropped a gold pin from the palanquin. Tsui wanted to return the loss, but could not pass to the female half of the house. Suddenly, the youngest sister herself appeared – as if behind a hairpin, and began to seduce a young man. He resisted, but surrendered.
Realizing that for a long time to hide the love encounters they will not succeed, they decided to flee from home to the old faithful servant of Father Tsui. And they did. A year has passed. The fugitives planned to return home, fall at the feet of their parents and beg for forgiveness. The first was to go Cui, and in evidence to show the hairpin-phoenix, which gave him a lover.
The foster father met him as if nothing had happened. In any way, he could not understand the excuses, because his youngest daughter had already fallen asleep for a year and could not even turn around. Then Cui showed his hairpin. It recognized the decoration of the late elder sister, who together with her was put in a coffin.
And suddenly the youngest daughter appeared. She explained that the thread of destiny that had connected the elder sister with the groom had not been torn yet, and she, the youngest, should marry, otherwise her life would be extinguished. The voice of the youngest daughter resembled the voice of the deceased. Parents were horrified.
Father began to reproach the daughter who had returned from that world. She explained that the head of the gloom considered her innocent and allowed her to live the year of her life given to her. And she fell dead to the ground. The body was sprinkled with a healing decoction, and the girl came to life. As the eldest promised, the ailments and sickness of the younger disappeared, and she did not remember the past events, as if she had woken up from a heavy sleep.
Soon the wedding was played. The young man sold the gold pin, bought all that was needed for the thanksgiving prayer for the money, and instructed the Taoist monk to perform the ceremony. After that, the deceased came to him in a dream with words of love and good wishes. It’s strange, is not it?
