"Youyang Zazu" Strange Stories: Guarding
In the late Wei Taihe, a poor Confucian scholar lived in an abandoned old house in the southern family of his relatives in Songzi County, Jingnan.
On the first day, he cleaned up his book hall until dark. It was not until the second day that he had free time to sit in front of the book desk and read. A half-inch tall man wearing a gourd scarf and holding a horse whip suddenly walked into the house and said to the scholar, "You are just a little lonely without a host to entertain you!" His voice was as low as a fly. The scholar was brave and ignored him. The villain was so angry that he climbed onto the scholar's bed and cursed, "Do you a scholar not even understand the ceremony of treating guests?" The scholar still ignored him, and the villain became even more angry. He climbed onto the desk and flipped the scholar's books. He even picked up the inkstone to cover it on the book, so that the scholar would not read the book, and he was cursing. The scholar was impatient and shot him to the ground with a pen. The villain screamed a few times and ran out of the door and disappeared suddenly.
After a while, there were four or five women a year old and young, who rushed in and scolded the scholar, "We king, pity you for being alone and lonely in your studies. You specially sent Your Highness to learn with you. Why are you bold and hurt Your Highness? Go to see the king immediately to apologize!" As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of soldiers looked like villains, hugged the scholar's arms and legs one after another, and bit them all. The scholar was so painful that he could not shake them off. He thought he was having a nightmare. When he was panicking, the villain said again, "If you don't go with us, we will bite your eyes." As he said that, a group of villains crawled into his face. The scholar was shocked and shocked, and had to go out with the villain.
Walked to the east of the book hall and saw a small door from afar, like a dog hole. The scholar cursed angrily: "What are you monsters? How dare you insult people like this!" After hearing this, the villains bit each other and forced the scholar to enter the door. In a trance, the scholar entered the door and saw that it was magnificent, like a towering palace. Thousands of guards stood at the bottom of the steps, each inch tall, wearing armor. In the middle of the hall, a little taller man with a crown on his head, looked majestic, and scolded the scholar: "I pity you for being lonely by studying alone. I send my children to accompany you. How dare you hurt him! The sins are not to be forgiven! You should be killed!" As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of villains holding swords came to push him. The scholar was very scared and quickly apologized and said: "The young man is stupid, and he doesn't know the great immortal with his naked eyes. Please spare my life!" Seeing that he sincerely apologized, the king ordered people to push him out of the door.
When the scholars returned to the school, it was already the fifth day, and the lamp oil was almost burned. After dawn, the scholar followed the book hall to search east and found a small cave under the base of the east wall. He peeked around for a long time and found that there was a gecko (gecko) entering and leaving the cave. He called a few villagers to dig the cave and found that it was several feet deep below, with geckos inside, large and small. I don’t know how many of them were. The largest one was more than one foot long and red in color. It should be their king. There were also many earthen buildings and pavilions built in the cave. Everyone was shocked and surprised. The last fire burned the cave. No strange things happened again since then.
"The Censor's Record" Story: The Censor's Office is on duty and the Censor's Office is not allowed to eat meat when the Censor's Office of the Tang Dynasty goes out to perform official duties. In order to understand the cravings, the Censors came up with various ways to eat meat. Some censors would secretly hide the jerky she brought under the rice when they arrived at the inn. Then they would deliberately find fault and drive the waiter out. As soon as the waiter left, they began to enjoy the delicious jerky. This kind of thing happens often and is generally not discovered by the waiter.
However, there was once a censor who accidentally discovered this when he was doing this. The waiter smiled and said, "There are so many jerky stations, please eat whatever you want." The censor felt deeply ashamed.
Some post station chefs are very clever. They know that the Censor has not eaten meat for a long time and are very greedy, so they stew a pot of meat soup quietly. The meat is stewed so hard that it is not meat. When the Censor eats it, he pretends not to know it is meat. If you accidentally get a piece of meat, you pretend to be angry and ask the chef to come out and listen to the training.At this time, the chef either said that he was new and didn't know the rules, or said that the spoon leaked and accidentally fell in. He could fool him every time. The censor not only satisfied his craving, but he would not be caught by someone.
During the Shenlong period, Han Wan, Lu Yuanke and Zheng Yuanfu served as judges and went to Laizhou to handle official duties. He witnessed this incident with his own eyes at the post station and looked at each other and smiled. At that time, Wei Yuanzhong was appointed as the chief minister. He was very dissatisfied with the rules set by the court and said to Han Wan: "When Yuanzhong was appointed as the supervisor, he had eaten all the meat, jerky and eggs at the post station, and the tasks assigned by the court were not wrong. The ministers secretly ate meat and were really losing their national constitution!" Wei Gong's words were indeed reasonable, but it would be better if they didn't eat or steal it!
