There are many foxes in Shandong, but no monkeys. I (the author Lang Ying) once heard people say that foxes can become spirits, then transform into men or women, and then seduce and confuse real people.
This article comes from " Seven Revised Drafts ", which is a classical Chinese note novel written by Ming Dynasty Lang Ying. The scope of this book's examination is extremely broad. Many of the contents can be used as supplements to history books and have high historical value.
JiajingI went to Shandong in eight years and asked the locals about this matter. They said: Every night in the middle of the night, foxes would sneak into poor people's shabby houses, climb onto the bed, and stretch out their mouths to receive people's breath. After people wake up, they will smell the scent left by the fox and scream in fright: "Hit the fox, beat the fox." However, they don't know how long the fox has been gone.
If you do this again and again for a long time, the fox will become smaller and can now enter places that were previously inaccessible. If time passes, the fox will be able to change, engage in lewd acts with folk men and women, and seek out the opposite sex for intercourse.
At this time, the fox is still very good at stealing money and then giving it to the master who hangs out with him or her. When the master dies, he or she will soon move to another family, and people are not surprised.
Folks generally believe that after a fox becomes a spirit, it is commonly known as fox spirit , fox fairy or great immortal. This is a person who has become a spirit through cultivation and belongs to the devil rather than the righteous god. There are two ways for animal spirits such as fox fairies, snake fairies, etc. to interact with people. One is to live with people, just like cats and dogs follow their owners. The other is to attach to the human body, which is called possession.
" Shuowen Jiezi " said: "Foxes are also monsters, and they can be taken advantage of." In other words, foxes have aura (demon energy), have supernatural power, and can be cultivated into spirits. Being with a fox spirit brings both gains and losses to people. It will always give you a little benefit at first, but over time it will do more harm. Because it takes over your body, absorbs the essence of the body, and possesses the human body to practice Taoism. Similar to "The Romance of the Gods", King Zhou lived with the fox fairy for a long time, which led to the destruction of the country and his own death. King Zhou of Shang Dynasty only lived with the fox fairy. He was not possessed by the fox fairy, so he would have ended badly, let alone the fox fairy.
There was a author named Song Liu. In the evening, he met a man who claimed that he wanted to find some work. While talking, he followed Song Liu to the Song family. The man paid for wine to drink with Song Liu, and fell asleep after getting drunk. It turned out to be a fox with pure black fur, and Song Liu didn't notice it when he discovered it.
When he woke up at dawn the next day, the black fox said to Song Liu: "You are not blessed. I will go to Li's house in Xiguan."
Li is a government official in Qingzhou Prefecture , so Li's wife was seduced by the black fox. . There is also Li Yao from Shicao City, an academic official, and his grandmother was also deceived by the black fox. His grandmother died and his mother was bewildered again. The Li family has a hunting dog . Sometimes they will see a black fox, and they will bark wildly and want to rush forward and bite. The black fox will jump on the body of the mistress and squat on her shoulders to avoid it.
Another man named Zhang took a car out of the city to the western suburbs and saw a dog chasing a woman. The woman rushed over, but Zhang was still watching the excitement. The woman asked him for help, wanted to give him a lift, and asked him to drive the dog away. The woman told her where she was from. Zhang felt sorry for her and let her get in the car.
After returning home, the woman asked to stay overnight. Zhang did not refuse, so he slept with her. A few months later, the woman told Zhang: "I am a fox, and I am leaving you now. Today next year, you can see me at a certain market in Linqing." A year later, Zhang Someone arrived as expected and came to the market the woman mentioned. I saw a woman performing a tightrope walk in a busy city. Zhang called her, and she got off the tightrope.
The two of them walked to a pub and drank happily for several days. Later, the woman gave Zhang a hundred taels of silver and told him: "My fate with you is over, so don't follow me anymore."
When Zhang returned home, he didn't know where the woman had gone. It can be seen from this that businessmen take fox demons as concubines, and it is a strange thing that everyone can see. Linzi People in a county all say this, and I have heard this kind of thing with my own ears.
