During the Tang Dynasty , there was a carpenter named Li Tianyi in Luzhou. He was thirty years old. Although he had skills, he did not work hard to make money. He often fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and he worked as a carpenter. When working, he often charges random prices, which makes people reluctant to work with him. Li Tianyi cannot survive in the local area and can only go out to find work frequently.
In the autumn of that year, Li Tianyi went out to look for work. When he passed by the foot of a mountain, he found a small mountain village there. Because it was getting dark, Li Tianyi couldn't find a hotel where he could stay, so he knocked on the door of a house in the village and made a request to stay overnight. Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door for him was a very beautiful woman. woman.
The woman claimed that her surname was Han and she was a widow. When she heard Li Tianyi's request to stay overnight, she refused without thinking. The woman frowned and said to Li Tianyi: "It's not that I don't want to take you in, it's really... There has never been a male in the family, let alone a widow with a lot of trouble. If I take you in, I'm afraid it will ruin our reputation!"
When Li Tianyi saw Han's beauty, he couldn't help but be tempted, so he begged Han bitterly! He asked Han to take him in. He coaxed Han with a sad face and said: "I have gone to several families, but they are not willing to take me in. I am a foreigner and have no relatives and friends here. It is really unsafe to be alone in this wilderness. Please You kindly take me in for one night, don't worry, I'll leave before dawn tomorrow and I won't cause you any trouble!"
When Mrs. Han heard what Li Tianyi said so pitifully, she kindly took him in. Unexpectedly, she actually took him in! It is to lure the wolf into the house. In the middle of the night, Li Tianyi sneaked into Han's room quietly and directly defiled Han. In fact, Li Tianyi insisted on staying at Han's house because he was attracted by Han's beauty. But what made Li Tianyi strange was that when he insulted Han, Han only resisted symbolically for a few times, and then he Become very submissive.
Seeing that Han was so obedient to him, Li Tianyi thought that Han was having a hard time as a widow, so he cooperated like this. Afterwards, Li Tianyi got dressed and wanted to leave. Unexpectedly, Han suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Li Tianyi, and asked him with a smile: "Li Tianyi, is your meat delicious?"
Li Tianyi listened. Hearing Han's words, his heart skipped a beat, and suddenly he had a bad premonition. He looked up at Han and asked uneasily, "What do you mean by that?"
As soon as Li Tianyi finished speaking, I saw Mrs. Han suddenly transformed into a female praying mantis that was bigger than a bathtub. The female praying mantis climbed behind the door and blocked the door, blocking Li Tianyi's way of escape. Then she sneered and said to him: "You Look what's under the bed."
Li Tianyi didn't expect that Han was actually a female praying mantis, and he regretted that he shouldn't provoke it. He saw the female praying mantis blocking the door and knew that it would be difficult for him to escape. He was afraid of the female. The mantis could hurt himself, so he obediently looked under the bed, only to see a very terrifying scene.
When Li Tianyi looked under the bed, he found that Han's body was hidden under the bed. It turned out that the real Han was dead, but only half of Han's body was left.Li Tianyi was so frightened when he saw this scene that he slumped on the ground with a pale face. The mother mantis looked at Li Tianyi with disdain and said: "I thought you were so courageous, but I didn't expect you to be a coward! You don't have to Worry, you will become the same as Mr. Han in a while, and you will both become my food!"
Li Tianyi's expression became even more frightened when he heard the mother mantis's words. He couldn't help but question the mother mantis: "It's not easy for you to achieve Taoism. But you don’t practice well and actually kill people, aren’t you afraid of being punished by God?”
“It’s you who deserve to be punished by God!” The female mantis glared at Li Tianyi and said, “Mr. Han secretly stole people and harmed his lover. Damn your husband, and you, in order to satisfy your own greed, defiled a good woman, you all deserve to die!"
It turns out that Han's husband once saved the mother praying mantis and was her savior. Before the mother praying mantis could repay her kindness, she learned that! His benefactor was secretly killed by Han and her lover. In order to avenge her benefactor, the female mantis devoured Han's lover and bit Han to death. However, before it could finish disposing of Han's body, she encountered Li Tianyi knocking on the door to stay overnight.
The female mantis turned into Han's appearance. She originally wanted to shut out Li Tianyi, but Li Tianyi struggled with it, and her eyes were still looking at it up and down. The mother mantis saw that Li Tianyi had evil intentions, so she kept him here. She waited until Li Tianyi's true colors were revealed before she revealed her true colors and told Li Tianyi the truth.
After the female mantis explained the truth, she swallowed Li Tianyi in one gulp. Li Tianyi did evil things and finally paid the price for his evil deeds. Then, the female mantis set a fire, burning half of Han's body and the house to ashes. After finishing all this, the female praying mantis returned to the mountain to continue practicing, and she never went down the mountain again.
