During the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, Kaifeng there was a family named Yang. The Yang family's ancestors had been doing business for generations and accumulated tens of thousands of wealth, with a profound foundation. The head of the family, Master Yang, had a daughter named Yangliu when he was over forty years old. However, not long after she was born, something happened to the Yang family.

First, Yang Liu's mother died for no reason. Later, the Yang family's business suffered a heavy blow and owed a lot of debt. Coincidentally, a wandering Taoist priest passed by here and gave Yangliu a hexagram. After seeing the hexagram, the Taoist frowned slightly, turned away, and left four words: The King of Hell Point Mao.

The so-called "King of Hell" clicks Mao is actually a folk saying. It is said that on the first day of the first lunar month every year, the Lord of Hell will randomly check the work and use the book of life and death to click Mao. Anyone whose name is called must report to the underworld. . In other words, the selected people will undoubtedly die, but after they are taken to the underworld, they have the opportunity to become underworld agents and serve in the underworld.

Unfortunately for Yangliu, her name was also called by the King of Hell. The reason why she didn't die was because her mother persuaded Yin Chai to replace her daughter, but the matter was far from over...

When Yang Liu was nine years old, Mr. Yang, who had always been physically strong, suddenly died suddenly. But before that, he had arranged everything. Yangliu was sent to a remote mountain village nearby to live with his former nanny.

Yangliu learned from her wet nurse that her parents died because of her, and told her to cherish her life. Yang Liu has always kept this in mind and is dedicated to doing good, often helping neighbors in need.

Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Yang Liu’s eighteenth birthday is coming soon. But for some reason, the wet nurse seemed very nervous, and asked someone to go to a nearby temple to get a lot of gadgets that could be turned on to ward off evil spirits. She also posted two statues of door gods on her door. Yang Liu was suspicious, but no matter how she asked, the wet nurse remained silent.

In the early morning of this day, Yang Liu went to the mountains to collect firewood as usual. Her birthday would be in two days, and she was looking forward to it. While thinking about what gift she would get for her birthday, she walked deeper into the forest. When she realized what she was going to do, she was lost.

The elders in the village often say that they have high mountains and deep forests, and are often haunted by mandrills. These mandrills look like humans, with red noses and blue faces, and they like to eat women and children. Although they were all meant to scare children, Yang Liu was still a little scared. Just when she was at a loss, there was a sudden sound of fighting in her ears.

Out of curiosity, she followed the sound through the grass and found a mandrill under a tree. It is indeed as the elders in the village said, as strong as an ox, with a red nose and blue face, and sharp fangs in its mouth. However, the mandrill was currently fighting with a large python. The python was not simple at all. It was seven to eight feet long and as thick as half a man.

Yangliu had never seen this scene before. He was so frightened that he hid behind the grass and did not dare to move. After about half a stick of incense, the fight finally ended. The python was crushed by the mandrill with a stone on its head and died. The mandrill was also seriously injured and lay on the ground moaning in pain.

Yangliu wanted to take the opportunity to leave, but when she heard the mandrill's cry, she felt compassion, gritted her teeth and turned back. The mandrill was very nervous after seeing Yangliu, but it was injured and had no strength. It could only lie there, grinning at Yangliu, and tried its best to look fierce.

Yang Liu looked for some herbs nearby, and slowly approached the mandrill, and then used the herbs to treat its wounds. After understanding Yang Liu's good intentions, Mandrill lowered his guard and his attitude became much gentler. He even reached out and touched Yang Liu's forehead.

After treating all the wounds of the mandrill, it gradually recovered its strength and got up from the ground.After that, it circled around the willow twice, then came closer to smell it, and let out bursts of screams, as if it had discovered something. Seeing that Yangliu didn't understand what he meant, the mandrill frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, it picked up Yangliu and left.

Under the leadership of Mandrill, Yangliu soon found his way home, and the two broke up. Watching Yang Liu's leaving figure, Mandrill pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and followed quietly...

After returning home, Yang Liu wanted to tell his wet nurse about his adventure, but the wet nurse had been busy putting potions in the room to ward off evil spirits. Damn it, I have no time to pay attention to her. Yang Liu didn't know what the nanny meant by doing this, but it was hard to stop her. After saying hello, she went back to the house to rest.

After a tiring day, Yangliu soon fell asleep. In her daze, she actually dreamed of the mandrill she rescued during the day. The mandrill slowly walked up to him, plucked two golden hairs from both sides of his cheeks, handed them to Yang Liu, and said in human words: "My benefactor, you were once tapped by the King of Hell. Your birthday will be in a few days. , there will be a catastrophe, I am here to help you!"

Yang Liu was shocked after hearing this. When she was a child, she heard her wet nurse say that she killed her parents because of being bitten by the King of Hell. And if a person who has been clicked has not reached the underworld, he will be clicked again every nine years, and the ghost will naturally be ordered to seduce the soul. In a few days, it will be Yangliu's eighteenth birthday. In other words, on this day, the evil spirits will come back to take her away. It is no wonder that the nanny will panic and prepare something to ward off evil spirits. It turns out that she wants to save Yangliu's life.

Mandrill told him that as long as he carried the two golden hairs with him, he could temporarily isolate the breath on his body. As for how to avoid the evil, Mandrill thought for a moment and then said: "Let's do this. You can appease the wet nurse tomorrow night, and we will Hide on the rafters during the third watch, but don't fall asleep. When the third watch comes, you can hide under the bed, and you don't have to worry about anything else!"

Yang Liu nodded after hearing this, thinking that she When I woke up from the dream, there were really two golden hairs in my hands. She immediately told the wet nurse about this, and the wet nurse was very surprised when she heard it. But now, she had no other choice but to treat the situation like a dead horse.

Two days later, on the night of Yangliu's eighteenth birthday, the two of them washed up and went to bed early, while Yangliu climbed up to the beam and hid. At the first watch of the day, a gust of wind blew, and two black figures appeared in the room. Under the dim light, Yang Liu could clearly see that they were two men in official uniforms with pale faces. One of them had a hand in his hand. There was also a thick iron chain in his hand, which was obviously a trick to seduce the soul.

The two Yinzai slowly walked to Yangliu's bed, but when they opened the quilt, they found that no one was there. The two Yinzai looked at each other and started searching around the room. After wandering around, one of the Yinzai pointed to the bottom of the bed, and the next second, the two Yinzai got in together.

Yangliu, who was hiding on the beam, gasped when she saw this. Fortunately, Mandrill reminded her in time, otherwise she would have been discovered now.

By chance, Yang Liu was not found, so he wandered around the house for two more times and then left.

When it was almost midnight, Yang Liu quietly climbed down the beam and hid under the bed. As soon as she hid, the two shady men came back. However, they did not check under the bed this time, but jumped onto the beam. Fortunately, Yang Liu moved in time and escaped again.

's inquiries were fruitless and they left angrily. But as soon as they went out, they were blocked by a black shadow. It was the mandrill. The status of the mandrill was obviously not low. When the two evil men saw it, they actually bowed and saluted...

Early the next morning, when the nanny saw the safe and sound Yangliu, she was so excited that she burst into tears. Yangliu was also very happy and thought Go up the mountain to thank the mandrill. Coincidentally, the mandrill was waiting for her at the mountain pass.

It turns out that the mandrill's true identity is the disciple of the local mountain god. That day the snake demon invaded the mountain forest. It was ordered to stop but was injured, and then it met Yangliu. It told Yang Liu that this time the disaster had been overcome, but in nine years, ghosts would still come. If she wants to completely resolve this matter, she needs to marry a blessed man.

The so-called blessed people are those who did good deeds in their previous lives, have both parents in this life, and are blessed with good fortune and longevity. Mandrill asked all this information from the mouths of the two ghosts, and Mandrill also knew the name and address of the blessed man.

Later, Yangliu found the blessed man according to the mandrill's information and successfully married him. Since then, the bad luck has never happened again, and she has lived a stable and happy life.
