Qing Dynasty During the Kangxi period, there was a rich young man named Liu Acheng in Yangzhou. The Liu family has been doing business for generations and has a profound background. He is one of the top major domestic households. However, Acheng was not good at doing well, he was ignorant all day long, and stayed in the gambling house every night. Mr. Liu is old and can't control Acheng, so he has to ask the matchmaker to marry Acheng, hoping that he can calm down.
Acheng's wife is called Xiang Qiao, the daughter of a tailor. She is gentle and sensible, diligent, and beautiful. Acheng was indeed much more restrained at the beginning, but after getting along with Xiang Qiao, he lost his freshness and got into the gambling house again.
says that nine out of ten bets will be lost. With Acheng's playing method, it will probably take him not long before his family's ancestral property will be defeated. At that time, Xiang Qiao was pregnant and the family expenses were much higher. In order to persuade her husband to quit gambling, Xiang Qiao was very dedicated.
Until that night, Xiang Qiao went to the gambling house again to look for her husband, wanting to persuade him to go back. But at this time, Acheng was having fun. When he saw his wife coming, he thought she was embarrassed by her. He immediately got angry and scolded his wife angrily, and drove her out of the gambling house.
Xiang Qiao was heartbroken and packed her luggage and decided to rush back to her parents' home overnight, and no longer care about Acheng. Xiang Qiao's family lives in a neighboring village. Although it is not far away, it is still a bit dangerous to walk through a forest on the way.
Xiang Qiao was angry and anxious at that time, and she didn't think so much for a while. It was not until she walked into the forest that she regretted it. The sides of the path were surprisingly dark, and from time to time there were strange screams, as if something was hiding in the dark, staring at Xiang Qiao on the road.
At this moment, Xiang Qiao suddenly heard someone calling her. She thought her husband had changed his mind and came to find her, but looking around, there was no one. At the same time, she suddenly felt someone patting her on the shoulder. She turned her head suddenly, but saw nothing.
Xiang Qiao was very scared. She didn't dare to stay anymore and ran forward desperately with her head down. Fortunately, I didn’t encounter any problems on the road since then, so Xiang Qiao returned home smoothly. But not long after she got home, she fell ill and had a fever for three days.
As for Acheng, after he was so angry that night, he immediately regretted it. When he heard that Xiang Qiao ran back to her parents' home alone and was still sick, he felt very distressed and worried that something would happen to the child in his womb, so he immediately ran to his mother-in-law's house to pick him up.
After a sincere apology and assurance, Xiang Qiaocai forgave her and followed her home. In the days that followed, Xiang Qiaobing kept her baby at home. After A Cheng was honest for a while, he saw that his wife could not control her, so he entered the gambling shop again.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of delivery. A Cheng invited the midwife early and paced back and forth anxiously outside the delivery room. Listening to the screams of his wife in the room, Acheng's heart also sucked. I thought everything would go well, but after waiting for a long time, he did not hear the child's cry, but instead heard the midwife's scream.
Acheng was worried that something would happen, so he rushed in, and the scene in front of him scared him to faint. I saw my wife lying on the bed dying, and the bedding under her was soaked in blood. What was strange was that the blood was actually dark brown. Meanwhile, the midwife was holding the newborn baby girl in a terror.
The baby girl had opened her eyes at this moment, but she had no white eyes, her eyes were pitch black, as if she could suck someone in. Not only that, the baby girl not only did not cry, but instead looked at everyone and made strange laughs.
Everyone was scared. Fortunately, the midwife was very knowledgeable and immediately realized that the child must have been possessed by evil spirits. She asked Ah Chengma to go outside the city to ask a monk to come and help.
A Cheng did not dare to delay and rushed to the temple outside the city and invited a monk home.After seeing the baby girl's condition, the monk's face changed slightly. He immediately took off his robe and wrapped it around. Then he shouted to Acheng: "Hurry up, come and hug a rooster!"
Although Acheng didn't understand, he still brought a rooster according to his statement. Afterwards, the monk took out a red thread, tied it to the rooster's feet, and tied the other end to the baby girl's feet. Afterwards, he hung the Buddhist beads on his chest on the rooster and directed it to move forward.
As soon as the rooster moved, the baby girl who was originally smiling suddenly burst into tears and struggled violently, as if she wanted to get rid of the red thread. Seeing this, the monk immediately tightened her robe and controlled him. Soon, the rooster walked outside the door, and the red line was stretched straight, but the rooster still had no intention of stopping.
Accompanied by a shrill scream, Acheng clearly saw that a black shadow was dragged out of the baby girl by a rooster. The monk immediately turned around and wrapped the black shadow in a cassock. The baby girl also recovered her health and made a normal cry.
The monk said that Xiang Qiao went back to her parents' home that night. Since she was pregnant at that time, she must have been discovered by a nearby ghost and penetrated into her womb and wanted to take this opportunity to reincarnate, so this situation occurred. The black shadow just now was the dead soul dragged out by the rooster.
A Cheng was extremely regretful after hearing this. If it weren't for him, his wife and daughter would not have been in danger. Fortunately, they were in danger this time, and the monk successfully solved the ghost possessed by his daughter.
After this incident, Acheng finally made up his mind to quit gambling and the whole family lived happily together.
