During the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Chen Qing in Raozhou Prefecture. He was born into a declining scholarly family, but because his father died early, he was raised entirely by his mother. His mother, Lu, was very hard-working. She earned a meager income by doing laundry and doing chores for a wealthy family, and supported her son in a private school.

Chen Qing was smart and studious, and was admitted as a scholar at the age of 18. But just this year, his mother suddenly became seriously ill and was unable to get out of bed and had to be cared for. Chen Qing had no choice but to put down his books and focus on taking care of his mother.

Lu's illness lasted three years. Chen Qing originally wanted to go to the provincial capital to take the provincial examination, but he couldn't worry about his mother, so he had to give up the last examination. He found a teaching job in a school in the town, so that he could earn a little income and survive.

Lu's condition improved somewhat this year, and seeing that it was time to take the imperial examination again, she told her son not to delay for her any longer, and urged him to rush for the examination.

Chen Qing had no choice but to arrange everything at home half a month before the exam, then hurriedly said goodbye to her mother and hit the road. Because he was pressed for time, he decided to take the trail in the mountains to ensure that he would not miss the exam.

Seven or eight days later, Chen Qing came to the foot of a big mountain. While staying at the inn at the foot of the mountain, he heard that the two to three hundred miles ahead were mountainous and sparsely populated.

The innkeeper said that strange things often happened in the mountains during this period, and many young men disappeared, so he had to wait until daytime anyway and make appointments with a few more merchants to go together, otherwise something would easily happen.

But Chen Qing didn't take it seriously. After finishing his meal, he looked at the bright moon hanging high outside and the cool breeze blowing, which was perfect for a journey. He insisted on continuing to walk, but the shopkeeper couldn't persuade him to stop, so he had to shake his head.

After walking a few miles into the mountain, he heard a huge rolling sound in the grass in front of him. When he got closer, he saw a big bobcat, grabbing a green snake on the ground.

The bobcat was covered in leopard prints, about three or four feet long, and had very fierce claws and sharp teeth. This snake is not small either, about the thickness of an adult's arm and eight or nine feet long. But after meeting this ferocious and agile lynx, he was clearly no match and had already suffered some injuries.

Chen Qing was a kind person. When he saw this, he stepped forward and shouted: "You two, don't fight, peace is the most important thing!"

The bobcat didn't listen to him, and acted viciously, as if it wanted to bite him. Chen Qing picked up a big stick and hit the cat on the back, causing it to scream in pain. Seeing that this man was not easy to mess with, he turned around and ran away.

After the bobcat escaped, the green snake nodded gratefully to him and slipped into the grass and disappeared.

Chen Qing felt quite happy, looking at the moonlight like water, chanting poems softly in his mouth, and hurried forward quickly. Not long after, I came to a flat mountain grassland and found a woman in white dancing in front of me, singing an ethereal and melodious voice.

Chen Qing was a little confused and walked closer to watch. I saw that the woman was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes, rouge pink face, and a small scarlet cherry mouth that was particularly charming and alluring.

Everyone loves beauty, and Chen Qing is also a great talent. Who doesn’t love beauty? He came closer, fascinated by the sight, and asked: "Where is the girl from, and who is her last name? Why are you dancing alone in the mountains so late at night?" The beauty smiled and did not answer, but just danced around Chen Qing, making frivolous movements from time to time. Teasing Chen Qing.

Chen Qing was completely fascinated. When he saw that the woman was very beautiful, she couldn't help but want to hug her. Just when he was about to take action, the woman took a few steps forward and walked forward. The woman turned back frequently and waved to Chen Qing: "Sir, come and chase me." Chen Qing was already unable to stop, and rushed forward without taking any steps.

Not long after, Chen Qing's body entered a mountain lake. It was still shallow at first, and then slowly the water reached his head, but the woman was still walking forward and seemed to be still on the grass. superior.

Chen Qing had choked on his saliva several times, but all he could see was the woman's singing and dancing, and she kept waving to him, completely unaware of the environment he was in.

At this moment, a big green snake swam quickly from the lake, wrapped its tail around his waist, and dragged him to the shore.Chen Qing fell to the ground by the lake and panted for a while before coming back to his senses.

He looked at the big green snake next to him, and was greatly surprised, not knowing what was happening.

The green snake opened its mouth and spoke, "Sir, you were fascinated by a female ghost just now and walked into the lake. If I hadn't saved you, you would have drowned." Chen Qing was startled when he saw that the green snake could talk. , thinking this is a snake demon .

Seeing that he was scared, Green Snake said again: "Young Master saved my life, I will not harm you. I am also at the beginning of my spiritual awakening and cannot transform into a human being, so I can only talk to you like this. That will harm you." It's a female ghost."

Chen Qing calmed down and asked: "Who is this female ghost? I have no enmity with her, why do you want to harm me?"

Green Snake said: "Six months ago, there was a beautiful woman passing by. After being defiled and killed by a few evil people, she turned into a ghost to take revenge on passers-by. The female ghost will not kill you, but will wait for you on the road. Don't pay attention to her, don't look at her, just walk out quickly! "Chen Qing! He nodded, thanked Green Snake, packed up and left.

Just after walking along the lake for a while, the female ghost appeared again, becoming more charming and beautiful, dancing and waving to Chen Qing. Chen Qing just walked quickly, and the female ghost kept following him.

Seeing that she couldn't get rid of her, Chen Qing was afraid that she was going to harm him. He was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sister Gui, I also sympathize with your experience, but every injustice has its owner and its debtor has its owner. I still have an old mother who needs to be taken care of, please." Let me go!"

The female ghost looked miserable after hearing this, and said to Chen Qing: "You have a sick mother in your family, and I don't have a sick mother in my family. But my family's innocence has been ruined, and my life has been ruined. I want to Revenge!"

Chen Qing quickly persuaded: "Sister Ghost, you have to find the culprit for revenge! Indiscriminately harming people can only deepen your sins. I am a scholar and I am here to take the exam. If I become an official in the future, I will definitely help. You are innocent! Sister Ghost, please tell me the name of the evildoer. I will write it down and I will definitely seek justice for you in the future.” After hearing this, the female ghost said miserably: “You are right. The little girl’s name is Liu Xian’er. I don’t know those three.” The name of the thief, I need you to help me investigate! You need to go to a place with me first and give you something."

The female ghost took Chen Qing to a forest and asked him to take a from the head of a female corpse. Hosta as a certificate.

Liu Xianer took him to the edge of a cliff again, and saw a small tree growing on the cliff. Liu Xianfei actually flew up, picked a green fruit from the tree, returned to Chen Qing and said, "This fruit is called the Kailing Fruit. After taking it, one can become wise and help the young master to be named on the gold medal list!"

Chen Qing took it immediately and felt that his mind became much more flexible in an instant, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

Liu Xian'er said: "Sir, I have done everything I can do. If you don't help me get revenge in the future, I won't be able to do anything about it. Now you must be intimate with me and use your love to soothe the resentment in my heart. I won't hurt anyone anymore! I won't be able to feel anything until you take revenge for me, and I will go down there and be reincarnated."

Chen Qing was very helpless after hearing this. He couldn't keep his virginity. The two fell to the ground and started making out. Chen Qing was a little scared at first, but Liu Xianer was very experienced and slowly induced her, and in the end she was very happy.

After everything was done, Chen Qing solemnly promised Liu Xianer again, and Liu Xianer let him go.

After Chen Qing entered the examination room, his literary thoughts surged when he picked up his pen, and he passed the provincial examination to learn the Yuan Dynasty. The following year, he went to Beijing to take the exam and achieved fifth place in the palace exam.

Later, Chen Qing wrote a letter, hoping to be a parent official in the county where Liu Xianer was killed, and the emperor agreed.

After Chen Qing took office, he immediately investigated the murder of Liu Xianer, caught the villain and sentenced him to death, avenging Liu Xianer. At this time, he felt a yin energy leaking out of his body, and then he realized that Liu Xian'er had sensed it and settled the matter.

Jing Yuezhai’s message:

Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and in the rivers and lakes, there must be all kinds of injustices. When we encounter injustice, we still have to find the root cause. We cannot be dissatisfied with society and take revenge on other people just because bad people have harmed you.

Under Chen Qing's guidance, Liu Xianer let the scholar go, and also allowed herself to take revenge and be freed. But if he hadn't done a good deed and accidentally saved a green snake, he probably wouldn't have survived!
