Weekly shift / a

Ning Tsai-Shen is a Zhejiang, generous and bright nature, good behavior, cleanliness, focus on personal reputation. He often said with friends, "I am dedicated to love, this life, in addition to his wife, not good for any female color."

(Spit: rear strong face ......)

One day, Ning Caichen just to go to Jinhua to catch the examination, carrying a book cage, all the way to the north of the city, to see a temple, the temple hall pagoda magnificent magnificent, however, the weeds, weeds high like reeds in general, as if the person in which the shuttle are The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the body of the person you are talking to.

Ning Caichen saw this scene and knew that this temple has been deserted for a long time, no one. East and west side of the monks live in the premises, the doors and windows are closed, only the south side of a house, the bolt locks are new, turn your head and look at the east side of the temple, bamboo thick sky, the temple there is a large pool of lotus flowers are blooming. This temple is deserted for a long time, but Ning Caichen likes the seclusion of this place.

The city because of the recent academic government to measure the selection of talent, a time influx of many poor talent, the city's inns are also the trend of rising water raised the price of living in the store. Ning Caichen thought about it again and again, so he decided to stay in this deserted and broken temple. So he went around the temple and waited for the monk who was guarding the temple to return.

It wasn't until the evening that Ning Caichen saw someone return. As soon as he saw that the person was opening the door of the hut on the south side, Ning Caichen rushed forward to salute, and by the way, told the person that he intended to stay here on loan. Who knows that the person said, "There is no one in this temple, and I am also borrowing here, if you do not mind the desolation of this place, and can live with me, that would be really great."

Ning Caichen heard this, the heart is also very happy, this place is so deserted can have a companion best.

So Ning Caichen used the straws to spread out, as a bed, and found a broken boards set up, as a desk. He intends to cash in on this temple before the Xiucai test.

That night, the bright moon was high, the moonlight was bright as a clear stream pouring on the ground, the ground seems to have a clear stream, the stone road is like a stone sunk in the bottom of the stream. Ning Caichen and the man sat on the veranda outside the temple and had a long conversation, each reported to the other.

The man said his name was Yan, Chixia. Ning Caichen looked at Yan Chixia think he is like a candidate for the test together, but listen carefully to Yan Chixia think his accent is not right, not like the people around Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Ning Caichen asked Yan Chixia "Where are you from? ".

Yan Chixia replied, "I'm from Shaanxi".

See Yan Chixia words sincere, Ning Caichen unconsciously and he talked a little more, not for a while the two people talk about it, slightly boring. So each other goodbye after they are ready to go to bed.

Ning Caichen because not yet adapted to the environment of the deserted temple, tossing and turning, a long time can not sleep. Suddenly, he heard a sound coming from the direction of the north of the room, listening to that sound, as if there is a family living in the north of the room.

So Ning Caichen climbed up from the bed, lying on the north wall root stone window peeping, only to see outside the wall is a small compound, there is a woman in her forties, and an old lady wearing red old clothes. That old lady has a big silver comb stuck in her head, and is chatting with the woman in the courtyard in her old age.

Only heard the woman said, "Xiao Qian how so long is not come?"

The old lady said, "It should come soon."

The woman said, "Did she complain to you, grandma?"

The old lady said, "No, but it sounded like she wasn't too happy."

The woman said, "You have spoiled her too much, you have spoiled her to the sky, it is better not to give this girl too good face."

Before the woman could finish her words, a seventeen or eighteen year old girl came shapely. The moonlight was hazy, Ning Caichen didn't see the woman's appearance, but looking at that stature should mostly be a gorgeous beauty.

The old lady laughed, "Let's not say anything in the dark, the two of us were talking about you, and you came silently, fortunately did not say anything bad about you." The old lady also looked up and down the woman, said, "you this little girl seems to be from the painting out of the beauty of the general, if I were a man also have to be you this seductive beauty can not find the north."

The woman laughed and said, "It's just that grandma you praise me, if you don't praise me twice, no one has really praised me like this."

I don't know what the three women said again, Ning Caichen thought it was the next door neighbor, so he didn't listen further down, and quietly went back to the house to sleep.

Another moment passed before there was no sound outside.

The night was deep, everything was quiet, Ning Caichen was just about to fall asleep, when he felt that someone had entered his house. Rushed to sit up, a look is just the north courtyard of the family's beautiful girl, he vaguely remembered called Xiao Qian, surprised, "How did you come to my room?"

Xiao Qian winks, "I can not sleep, want to make out with you."

Ning Caichen said, "You should pay attention to your own reputation to prevent others from criticizing you. People who read books are subject to etiquette and emphasize their reputation, and cannot do this kind of unashamed thing."

Xiao Qian playfully said, "It's okay, anyway, it is night, no one knows."

Ning Caichen heard, angrily reprimanded Xiaoqian to leave, Xiaoqian wandered, seems to want to say something, Ning Caichen and urged, "Quickly go, otherwise I will call someone ah."

(Spit: together with a beautiful woman molested you, you are still not happy ......)

Xiaoqian was Ning Caichen these two roars scared to the flowers, timidly left. Just out of the house, just reluctant hand holding an ingot of gold treasure killed back. Xiao Qian placed the gold dollar treasure on Ning Caichen's quilt. Ning Caichen grabbed the gold and threw it outside the house without even looking at it, saying, "Don't defile me with this kind of ill-gotten wealth and ruin my reputation."

Xiao Qian furiously out of the house, picked up the gold gritted teeth, "really a stone-hearted person." Said a stomping foot twisted away.

Early the next morning, Ning Caixin heard that a scholar from Lanxi came to take the exam with a servant, living in the temple's east room, to the night suddenly died violently. It is said that the deceased had small holes in the soles of his feet as if he had been stabbed with an awl, and blood continued to flow out of the tiny holes.

Another night later, the servant also died, with the same symptoms as the scholar.

In the evening, Yan Chixia came back, Ning Caichen told Yan Chixia about this strange thing and asked Yan Chixia's opinion. Yan Chixia thinks it is the work of a ghost. Ning Caichen has always been upright and unyielding, and thinks that as long as he acts right, he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on his door in the middle of the night. Ning Caichen does not believe in ghosts and monsters, so he does not think so.

(Spit: afraid of self-congratulation ......)

This night, Xiaoqian came again. She said to Ning Caichen, "I have read countless people, and I have never had one as upright as you, you are really virtuous, I came today because I have a few words to tell you, my name is Nie Xiaoqian, I died young at the age of eighteen, and I am buried in the vicinity of this temple, and I have been threatened by the demons many times, which is why I threw myself out of the window to do these lowly things. In fact, I was unwilling to do so in my heart, but I was powerless to refuse. Now well, I killed the temple can kill all, in addition to you already there is no one I can kill again, now I let you go, I am afraid that one day the night fork will personally come over to kill you."

Ning Caichen heard, horrified, busy asking Xiaoqian get out of the plan, "that girl, how do I ah? "

Xiaoqian said, "You just need to live with Yan Chixia."

Ning Caichen asked again, "Then why don't you charm Yan Chixia?"

Nie Xiaoqian said, "He is a strange man with a big origin, I don't dare to go near him."

"What is the person who is charmed by you like?"

Nie Xiaoqian said, "For those who want to make out with me, I will secretly stab the heart of his foot with an awl, and take advantage of his confusion to draw his blood for the demon to drink. Or I may tempt with money, but it is not really gold, but the bones of a rakshasa, and if I leave the money I will have my heart and liver removed. Temptation with beauty and money are both used to throw the demon's blood."

Ghosts are ghosts because they are resourceful. The things in the world of man caught thoroughly, only rely on beauty and money will be enough to charm all beings. The reasoning behind this is that it's not like people don't know what it's all about, but they can't escape from the word "greed" in the end.

Ning Caichen listened, thanked Nie Xiaoqian's straight talk. And by the way, asked himself when exactly should be defended against the night fork? Nie Xiaoqian said, tomorrow night need to pay attention.

When Nie Xiaoqian was leaving, she sobbed, "I have fallen into hell, the sea of bitterness is boundless, you are righteous, you must be able to save me from the sea of bitterness. If you can wrap up my bones and send them home to be buried, the favor will be the same again."

Ning Caichen resolutely agreed, and then asked Nie Xiaoqian "Where is the original bones buried? "

Xiaoqian said, "There are crows nesting under the poplar tree."

Said, once out the door and disappeared.

The next day, Ning Caichen was afraid of Yan Chixia's going out, and asked Yan Chixia to come to his home early for a drink. Ning Caichen drink wine while observing Yan Chixia, I do not know Xiaoqian that "strange people also" in the end where the strange?

Ning Caichen did not listen, hard to move the gifts over, Yan Chixia had no choice but to move the bed over to live together. Before going to sleep, Yan Chixia instructed Ning Caichen, "I know that the foot is a gentleman, I also admire your style, but I now have some important things are not convenient to tell you, if there is an opportunity to speak in the future, I will certainly say with the foot. Only please you must not rummage through this chest of mine, or it will do neither you nor I any good."

When each was ready to go to sleep, Yan Chixia settled the small box by the window before lying down, and not long after lying down he fell asleep, snoring like thunder in his time. And Ning Caixin originally because of the fear of night fork sneak attack can not sleep, coupled with Yan Chixia snoring like thunder, Ning Caixin will be even more difficult to fall asleep.

Almost to the first day of the night, Ning Caichen vaguely feel that there is someone outside the window, not long after this person went to the window heel peeping, eyes flickering.

Ning Caichen is very afraid, just intend to call Yan Chixia, but saw a thing break the box and out, dazzling dazzling as if a white silken belt, the window on the stone are crashing folded, and suddenly a shot, it immediately retracted, the whole process as fast as lightning.

Yan Chixia was awakened by the sound, Ning Caichen instead pretended to sleep.

Yan Chixia held the box and carefully examined, and took out a thing from the box, and sniffed at the bright moonlight, only to see that the thing shining white, crystal clear, about two inches long, not much wider than a leek leaf.

Yan Chixia viewed and then put the thing heavily wrapped back into the box, and muttered to himself. "What old ghosts and monsters, how dare you break my box." Then went back to bed and lay down again.

Ning Caichen was very curious, so he got up from the bed and asked Yan Chixia,

"What in the world is that thing? Why is it so precious?"

Then Ning Caichen told Yan Chixia about the sight he had just seen.

Yan Chixia said, "Since you and I are friends with each other, I won't hide anything from you. I, Yan Chixia, am a swordsman, and if it wasn't for this stone just now, that old demon would have died on the spot. But now even if it didn't die it is estimated that it is also not lightly injured."

Ning Caichen asked again, "What is that thing you just wrapped up?"

Yan Chixia replied, "Oh, it's a sword for stabbing demons, I just smelled it, and it has a very heavy demonic aura."

Ning Caichen asked, "Can I take a look at it? Yan Chixia then took the sword out again and showed it to Ning Caichen. Ning Caichen took a look, but it was just a small sword.

After this night, Ning Caichen admired Yan Chixia even more.

The next day, Ning Caichen looked out the window, and there was indeed a bloodstain, and then followed the bloodstain to find the deserted graves to the north of the temple, and in the deserted graves there was indeed a poplar tree in which the crows nested. Ning Cai Chen heart of a total of some, is ready to pack up ready to go back, Yan Chixia big banquet for Ning Cai Chen farewell, so deep friendship let Ning Cai Chen is very emotional. Yan Chixia gave Ning Caichen a broken leather bag, Ning Caichen thought about it and told Yan Chixia that he wanted to learn the sword from him. Yan Chek Ha said, "I think a person like you who is upright and righteous, who emphasizes love and righteousness is a good seedling to be a swordsman, but you are destined to be a person in the field of wealth and riches, you and I are not in the same path, so the matter of learning the sword is dispensed with." Upon hearing this, Ning Caichen could only smile and do away with it. Ning Caichen pretends that he has a sister buried in this temple nearby, to send his sister's bones back, so he dug out the bones of Xiaoqian wrapped in clothes, rented a small boat home.

Ning Caichen's home is in the suburbs, coincidentally, there is also a cemetery near his home, so he buried Siu Sin there. Worshipped and worshipped Xiao Qian's bones and said, "Pity that you are a lonely ghost, bury it near my home, I can hear the sound of your singing and crying, you and I share the same sadness and joy, if there are other ghosts and monsters bullying you I can still protect you, this vat of soup, maybe not mellow, but I hope you don't dislike it." After saying that Ning Caixin spilled the liquor on the ground and walked away. Just not far away he heard someone yell behind him, "Wait." When I turned around, I saw Xiao Qian said joyfully, "Wait for me, let's go together. You fulfill the promise to dig my bones reburied, is really honest. Your great kindness is something I can't repay even if I die ten times. Please take me home and pay my respects to my in-laws, I have no regrets even if I serve you as a maidservant and concubine."

Ning Caichen hesitated to see Nie Xiaoqian's skin color is red, white and red, small feet up as fine bamboo shoots, previously see her, because of the hazy moon did not see clearly, now under the light of day to see, it is really delicate, beautiful. So Ning Caichen decided to take Nie Xiaoqian home.

Ning Caichen asked Nie Xiaoqian to sit down for a moment, and then went to the mother and the ins and outs of the matter to say clearly. Ning's mother was shocked at hearing this. At this time, Ning Caichen's wife is in the middle of the disease, long illness, Ning mother instructed Ning Caichen, said this thing ah you can not tell your wife, do not scare her.

After saying this, Ning Caichen asked Nie Xiaoqian to pay a visit to his mother.

Nie Xiaoqian entered the room and knelt in front of Ning's mother.

Ning Caichen introduced to his mother, "This is Xiaoqian."

Upon hearing this, Ning's mother was horrified at the thought that this was the female ghost her son had spoken of.

When Nie Xiaoqian saw Ning's mother's panic, she said. "I am all alone, far away from my parents and brothers, thanks to the great kindness of the son. I would like to be a concubine and a maidservant to repay the kindness of the gentleman." Mother Ning saw that Xiaoqian was graceful and very lovely, and she was very different from what she imagined a stern ghost would look like, so she dared to talk to Nie Xiaoqian. The old man said, "I am indeed very pleased that you can show such affection for my son. But I only have one son in my life, and our Ning family is counting on him to carry on the family line. So he can't have a ghost wife."

Nie Xiaoqian sniffed, "I am sincere and sincere to your son, I have no intention of harming him, since my mother can't trust me as a person in the Nine Springs, then please let me serve you two as my brother and mother morning and night, what do you think?"

Seeing that Nie Xiaoqian was so sincere, Ning's mother was afraid that it would be inappropriate to refuse again, so she agreed to Xiaoqian. The mother was busy pulling her back and said, "Your sister-in-law is very sick and it's not suitable to see guests, so let's do it some other time.

So Nie Xiaoqian, who was overjoyed, rushed to help in the kitchen, and then went back and forth between the various rooms, busy, as if she was already familiar with the Ning House. The first time I saw this, I was so happy to see you, and I was so happy to see you.

Smart as Xiaoqian, she knew at once that Ning mother was driving her away, so she answered and retired.

Nie Xiaoqian passed by Ning Caichen's study and was a bit timid, as if she was afraid of something, and lingered outside the door of Ning Caichen's room for a long time. Ning Caichen saw Nie Xiaoqian hesitating in front of his door, so he told her to enter the room and have a seat.

Nie Xiaoqian said, "I don't dare to go in."

Ning Caichen then realized, remembered that his own room hanging Yan Chixia gave him that leather pouch, and took it down and hung it in the other room.

Nie Xiaoqian only dared to enter Ning Caichen's room, Nie Xiaoqian sat down next to the lamp and candle, and did not know what to say. A long time later, Nie Xiaoqian asked Are you going to pick the lamp to read at night? I read when I was a child, "Lanyan Sutra", and now have a big more than half forgotten, can you lend me a volume to read, if there is a wrong understanding of the place please brother for me to correct.

Ning Caichen agreed.

The two fell into silence again, until the second night, Nie Xiaoqian did not want to go, so Ning Caichen politely let Nie Xiaoqian go back to rest, "It's getting late, you should go back to rest earlier. "

Nie Xiaoqian said miserably. "I'm a lonely soul from out of town, new to this world, and I'm afraid to go back to that strange deserted tomb."

Ning Caichen also looked aggrieved, "But there is only one bed and couch in my room, there is no other bed and couch, even if they are brother and sister, they should avoid suspicion."

Nie Xiaoqian listened to Ning Caichen's words, then cried and cried, dilly-dallying to go out, just stepped out of the door and disappeared.

In fact, Ning Caichen loved Nie Xiaoqian so much that he wanted to keep her in his room, but he was afraid that his mother would blame him and Xiaoqian if she knew.

In this way, Xiaoqian got up early and came back to Ning's mother to ask for good morning, and by the way, to help wash, prepare meals, Ning's mother let do what to do, never disobeyed her old man. Daily dusk very goodbye to Ning mother, to Ning Caichen study in the book, kill some time, wait to notice Ning Caichen to rest time and miserable leave Ning Caichen's room.

Such a period of time, the beautiful female ghost Xiaoqian, always in the lonely outside drifting.

Later, Ning Caichen's wife died of illness, Ning Caichen's mother, although sad, but the thought of their own side of the Xiaoqian is not so sad. Since Xiaoqian came to their home, after sharing many household tasks, Ning mother is a lot easier, the heart is very like Xiaoqian. A long time to Nie Xiaoqian is also like their own, very loving, almost forgot that Nie Xiaoqian is a female ghost, not afraid of Xiaoqian, and do not drive Xiaoqian away, but also set up a bed in the room with Xiaoqian with food and living. Originally, Nie Xiaoqian just started to Ning House because it is a female ghost, and not much to eat, recently more contact with people, to the meal, more or less also accompanied by Ning mother to eat some.

Ning's mother and son of the small Qian is very loving, especially taboo to talk about Nie Xiaoqian ghost identity, coupled with the small Qian is not a female ghost, the ordinary people can not see, so they also keep their mouths shut.

Ning Caichen's wife died, Ning's mother had the idea of letting Ning Caichen remarry Nie Xiaoqian, but was afraid that the combination of ghosts would hurt his son. Nie Xiaoqian saw the meaning of Ning's mother and said, "I've been living in the house for more than a year, and my mother should know that my child's heart is good or bad. I didn't come to the mansion to confuse the people, just to repay your son's love, and no other thoughts, your son is a bright and open-minded person than the gods, I would have liked to follow your son for three or five years, to take this opportunity to chase after a grant, dip into the light of your son."

Nie Xiaoqian's words are very moving, but Ning's mother is still worried, she is worried that Nie Xiaoqian is a female ghost can not have a child. So Nie Xiaoqian said again, "Children are given by heaven. Gongzi is a blessed person, I am a female ghost, heaven will not not give Gongzi heir, you can rest assured that the Ning family is destined to have three honorable children."

Ning's mother believed in Xiaoqian's words, so she discussed the marriage with Ning Caixin, who was so happy that she held a big banquet for her friends and relatives. During the banquet, someone proposed to meet the bride. Xiaoqian then came out in her festive dress, and the room was filled with people who were stunned by Xiaoqian's beauty. Not only did they not suspect that Nie Xiaoqian was a female ghost, but because of Nie Xiaoqian's fairy-like appearance, they thought that she was a fairy who had descended to the mortal world. So all the relatives of the family relatives with congratulatory gifts frequently and the Ning family, all want to meet Xiaoqian. Xiaoqian was good at painting plum blossoms and orchids, and often gave her finished paintings to her relatives as a token of appreciation.

One day, Nie Xiaoqian lying in front of the window, a despondent face, suddenly as if remembering something, turned his head and asked Ning Caixin, "Where did that leather bag go?"

Ning Caichen said, "Didn't you say you were afraid of that leather bag before? I hung it somewhere else."

Xiaoqian said, "Although I am a ghost, I have lived with you and Granny for so long, and I am not as afraid as before. You'd better bring back that leather bag and hang it above your bed." Ning Caichen didn't understand why Xiao Qian did this, Xiao Qian lamented, "I have been panicking these days, I think it's those demons in Jinhua, remembering that I left them behind, I'm afraid that they will come to trouble me at night." As soon as Ning Caichen heard that, he decisively took that leather bag back from the other house. Nie Xiaoqian carefully scrutinized the leather bag and said, "Oops, this leather bag is used by swordsmen to put human heads, so worn out, in the end, how many people have been killed ah. I still shudder when I see this leather bag." So Ning Caichen hung up this leather bag.

The next day, Xiao Qian again asked Ning Caichen to move that leather bag to the door of the room to hang. The two of them, Xiao Qian and Ning Caichen, did not sleep and sat by the candlelight waiting for the demon to come. Suddenly a figure, like a flying bird, landed on the wall of Ning's house. Xiao Qian was busy pulling Ning Caichen to hide behind the screen. Ning Caichen stared wide-eyed, only to see that the night fork, two big eyes emitting blood light, tongue blood red, teeth and claws came to the door of the room, look away, pacing outside the door, wandering not to enter, and so it a little bit of close to the leather bag after, will stretch out his claws to repeatedly grasp the skin bag, as if he wanted to scratch the leather bag broken. Suddenly the leather bag made a loud noise and became as big as an earth basket. Before Ning Caichen had time to react, he saw a ghostly creature poking out half of its body from inside and grabbing the nightstick in one go, then the sound suddenly disappeared and the leather bag shrunk back to its original form.

This scene makes Ning Caixin surprised and afraid, Xiao Qian instead smilingly came out from behind the screen "Well well well, this is all right."

Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen opened the leather bag to look inside, just like a puddle of water.

Many years later, Ning Caichen really in the scholar, and Nie Xiaoqian also gave birth to a son, Ning Caichen concubinage and then each had a son, after the adult is a straight career, quite prestigious.
