During the Ming Dynasty period, there was a girl named Zhao Lingmeng in Xing'an. She had a childhood sweetheart named Chu Feihuan. She was a scholar with a poor family, but she was particularly good to Zhao Lingmeng. She immediately sent something good to Zhao Lingmeng. Once Zhao Lingmeng was stopped by a big wolf dog and was so scared that she didn't dare to go home. He suddenly appeared and drove away the big wolf dog. Afterwards, Zhao Lingmeng was very grateful to him.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Ling dreamed of being a marriageable age, and he grew into a generous girl. There were endless men coming to propose marriage. Chu Feihuan also took great pains to prepare the betrothal gift and visited Zhao Lingmeng's parents.
In fact, Zhao Lingmeng's parents have found a marriage for her. The other party is the son of the official's family Xiao Ziliang , a talented person, with an extraordinary temperament, and is definitely worthy of Zhao Lingmeng. Therefore, Chu Feihuan came to propose marriage and was rejected by Zhao Lingmeng's parents without any surprise. However, they decided to give Chu Feihuan a chance in the relationship between Zhao Lingmeng and Chu Feihuan for many years. If Chu Feihuan can prepare fifty taels of silver before Zhao Lingmeng and Xiao Ziliang get married, Zhao Lingmeng will break the engagement with Xiao Ziliang and remarry Chu Feihuan.
Chu Feihuan, who is a vain family, can't even take out one tael of silver, even if he asks neighbors to borrow it, the amount is only four taels of silver. For Chu Feihuan, fifty taels of silver is an astronomical figure.
So, Zhao Lingmeng married Xiao Ziliang, and she also expressed resistance to her parents, but their attitude was tough. Zhao Lingmeng could not change their feelings. Her parents ordered her to matchmakers and Zhao Lingmeng had no choice but to marry Xiao Ziliang.
On the day of the wedding, Zhao Lingmeng tried to find Chu Feihuan's figure among the guests who came and went, but she looked around the guests for several circles, but she still couldn't find Chu Feihuan's figure. After inquiring a few days after marriage, I learned that since she married Xiao Ziliang, Chu Feihuan suffered from lovesickness, but in just two days he vomited blood and died of anger.
Learned of such tragic news, Zhao Lingmeng cried for several days, but never gave Xiao Ziliang a good look, nor did she have sex with him. She even threatened to ask Xiao Ziliang to divorce her and marry her again. But Xiao Ziliang refused.
On the evening of the day, Zhao Lingmeng lay on the table and cried again. She fell asleep while crying and had a dream in a daze. In the dream, Chu Feihuan came to her and said that Zhao Lingmeng killed him. If it weren't for Zhao Lingmeng, he wouldn't have died. If Zhao Lingmeng wanted to atone for his sins, he would have gone to the cemetery at the entrance of the village.
In the past, Chu Feihuan would never talk to Zhao Lingmeng in such a resentful tone. Zhao Lingmeng also doubted the authenticity of the dream. He had never been to the cemetery in the first few days, but Chu Feihuan sneaked into her dream again and again, and every time she asked her to go to the cemetery to repent, and even turned from the initial request to the order. After Zhao Lingmeng went to the cemetery, she found that Chu Feihuan was standing in front of a grave.
Zhao Lingmeng couldn't help but hug him, lying in his arms and crying bitterly, but at this time Chu Feihuan's body changed. His body was coated with a layer of gold edges. The place where Zhao Lingmeng's body contacted him was being swallowed by his body bit by bit.
At this time, Zhao Lingmeng was immersed in joy and did not notice the changes in her body at all. It was a monk passing by shouting and woke her up. Zhao Lingmeng looked at Chu Feihuan in front of her in disbelief, trying to pull her body out, but she was powerless.
The monk walked quickly in the distance. He grabbed Zhao Lingmeng's body and pulled her hard. It took half an hour to rescue her. After that, Chu Feihuan's figure faded little by little until it disappeared.
Zhao Lingmeng has some impression of the monk. Once when she was picking mushrooms up the mountain, she met a man with a broken leg and kindly saved him. Then the man was slandered and became a monk.
He came to the village to beg for alms today and happened to meet Zhao Lingmeng who was almost swallowed. After what happened just now, the monk discovered that Chu Feihuan was transformed from 9-headed bird . It can swallow human souls, occupy human memory, and transform into anyone's appearance. It must be that it found Zhao Lingmeng's figure in Chu Feihuan's memory, and then entangled Zhao Lingmeng, preparing to devour her soul.
The monk took out two peach pits from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Lingmeng, and asked her to put them on the bedside before going to bed in the evening.
Zhao Lingmeng, as the monk said, put the peach pits on the head of the bed, and then lay on the bed to rest, suddenly heard a strange scream.
Zhao Lingmeng woke up from her dream. A huge nine-headed bird appeared in front of her, and a scorching flame appeared on her body. Two peach pits had turned into fireballs and kept hitting the nine-headed bird. The nine-headed bird was buried in the sea of fire in a short while.
Then, Xiao Ziliang also ran from the next door. He asked Zhao Lingmeng if he was injured with an anxious look on his face. After checking that Zhao Lingmeng was intact, he let down his heart. Then he hugged Zhao Lingmeng tightly in his arms. Zhao Lingmeng suddenly felt that Xiao Ziliang was a good husband.
In fact, Xiao Ziliang has always known about Zhao Lingmeng and Chu Feihuan, but he did not choose to leave, but was always tolerant and waiting for Zhao Lingmeng to change his mind.
Since Chu Feihuan passed away, the pillows on Zhao Lingmeng's bed have been wet every day. It is obvious that she dreamed of Chu Feihuan, so Xiao Ziliang also regretted that he thought that he had married Zhao Lingmeng and killed Chu Feihuan, but Chu Feihuan has passed away. This cannot change the facts. It is better to live a good life with Zhao Lingmeng.
Later, Zhao Lingmeng gradually got used to Xiao Ziliang being by his side and lived an ordinary life.
