Ming Dynasty During the Hongwu period, there was a Liu Yuanwai in Yunnan who was about to celebrate his 60th birthday. My son at home thought that he had invited a opera troupe to perform in previous years, and it was too single every year, so he invited a snake charmer named Zhang Dean to perform on the birthday party.
Zhang De'an used two snakes as a performance, one is called Xiaoqing and the other is Xiaohong. When the sound of the flute sounds, these two snakes will raise their upper body and twist their bodies, as if they are dancing. Zhang Dean and his son Zhang Bao rushed to Liu Yuanwai's house one day in advance to prepare for the performance to prevent mistakes at the birthday party on the second day. On the birthday party, Liu Yuanwai's family came and went very lively, and various performances of opera troupes and juggling were on stage one after another. Zhang Dean's superb snake charming skills won cheers. Mr. Liu was very happy and asked his servants to invite the father and son to go out for a birthday party to show the host's hospitality and enthusiasm.
Just as the father and son were enjoying the delicious food, the servant outside the door suddenly shouted in shock: "No, the guests in the hall seemed to be possessed by evil spirits, their hands and feet were as stiff as puppets, and some people were walking like zombies, jumping."
This call attracted all the servants nearby. If something happened to the master, they couldn't get it well, but looking at the strange-behaving masters in the hall, they were at a loss.
It was obvious that the atmosphere in the hall was very lively the moment before. Everyone was celebrating the birthday of the old birthday star, and suddenly something was so evil, as if something had been manipulated by the body.
Butler Liu An After watching it, he was very anxious. His family was kind and today was his 60th birthday. There are also familiar Feng Shui masters at home who help me guide Feng Shui. I have never made any mistakes. Why did such a strange thing happen in such an important occasion today? If things are not handled properly, it will have a great impact on the reputation of their Liu family.
Thinking of this, he quickly ordered a entourage to go to the street to invite the old Taoist priest over. Not long after, the entourage ran back with sweat and said to the butler with panic:
"Butler Liu, that old Taoist priest was invited out of the city today, and he would not be able to come back at this time. As for the other Taoist priests, they are not famous, and they probably won't have any effect. Please think of a solution again."
After hearing this, Butler Liu couldn't help but walk around in a hurry. The snake charmer Zhang Dean was also surprised when he saw the scene in the house. The two snakes in his snake basket kept twisting their bodies and crawling out of the bamboo basket, and the snake's head kept spitting out the snake letters to the roof, as if there was something on it.
There is something on the roof, and everyone in the house seems to be controlled by a puppet thread. Zhang Dean's mind suddenly flashed, and he immediately thought of a common animal. Then he walked into the house and touched the dumb guests casually, and actually touched some silky-shaped things.
This thing is invisible and invisible, but it cannot be seen with the naked eye. However, you can feel it with your hands. It seems that it is because you have used a trick.
Zhang De'an had an idea in his heart, and he said, "Butler Liu, old man, I have a way. I can't say that I can solve the mystery behind this. I wonder if Butler Liu is willing to give it a try."
Butler Liu An looked at Zhang De'an's confident face and thought to himself that there are many people in the folk who have the ability. Perhaps this Zhang De'an is one of them. After learning that this method would not hurt the guests inside, Liu An approved Zhang Dean's request.
Zhang Dean immediately instructed his son Zhang Bao to take out their luggage. He opened a bag containing several kilograms of realgar . The father and son poured the three pounds of realgar on a stone slab, set up a stove below, and smoked it with a torch. As the smoke rose, the house was filled with a strong smell of realgar medicine.
Everyone around the door looked at it and talked a lot. Could it be that there is a snake in this room? Just as everyone was puzzled, two voices came from the roof. Only a voice heard said, "It smells so smelly, it smells so smelly. I am most afraid of the stench of realgar. I am about to breathe."
Another voice replied, "This smell makes me feel so uncomfortable. My blindness is about to fail, and the silk threads on these humans are no longer controlled. Our spider family hates the smell of realgar the most. How do these humans know?"
As the realgar mist rose, two basin-sized spiders on the roof soon appeared, and a strange scene appeared in the room:
The two spiders on the roof spit out countless spider silks, sticking all the limbs of the guests in the room. As soon as the spider pulls the silk thread on their hands or feet, everyone can't help but make moves like stretching out their hands and legs. A very vivid human-shaped marionette is very similar to the shadow puppet performed by folk. "
The two spiders were shallow in their paths. At this moment, they were dizzy and swollen by realgar. For a moment, they forgot to take the thread back. The servant was brave and knew that the master had suffered this crime today, and he would inevitably have an unfavorable end to protect the master. Therefore, everyone worked together to pull the spider silk hard, and the two spiders as big as basin were pulled to the ground.
Just as the sticks were about to fall on the two spiders, they suddenly bounced out by an invisible force. Then a figure flashed, and an old man with gray hair and beard appeared in the house. After seeing him, the two little spiders shouted happily: "Elder, elder, come and save us quickly. "
The servants were shocked to see it. It turned out that this beat the young and attracted the old ones. What should I do? Are they destined to escape today? Just when everyone was uneasy, the white-bearded old man said:
"Don't panic, these two little spiders are my juniors. We are the spider spirit who has achieved enlightenment in the mountains. These days I brought my two children to the world to travel. I just watched a shadow puppet a few days ago.
These two children threw me away and sneaked to Mr. Liu's house. When they saw everyone gathered together, they started to play with pranks. They actually used spider silk to control everyone and learned to play with the shadow puppet. In fact, it was because of the disadvantages of my parents' care. Please forgive me, everyone, we Spider Clan will definitely give you generous gifts to compensate. "
The people in Liu's family have lost their composure at this moment. They are just ordinary mortals, and they dare not speak anymore. After seeing this, Zhang Dean came forward and smiled:
"It turns out that it is a spider spirit in front of him. It's okay to unravel a misunderstanding. There are good and bad monsters in this world. I believe you are also kind-hearted monsters.
However, on the 60th birthday of Liu Yuanwai, everyone was teased and asked you to reconcile this scene. "
Spider Spirit was very happy to hear Zhang Dean's words. He immediately said, "This is what it should be. These clothes are given to everyone as a gift of guilt. "After saying that, he waved his hand, and more than 50 pieces of clothes with silver-white luster appeared on the table, which looked really strange."
Zhang De'an curiously picked up the clothes and found that there was no gap on it. The whole clothes were integrated, and it felt cool to the touch. A strange gas flowed from his hands to his body, making the tired body feel relaxed.
Zhang De'an said, "This clothes are so magical. Just holding it, the old diseases on my body are much easier."
The old spider smiled complacently after hearing this, "These clothes are all made of spider silk from the spider clan. After wearing them, they are warm in winter and cool in summer. They also have the magic mark of our monsters. After wearing them, they can alleviate physical diseases and strengthen the body."
At this moment, the guests in the house were awake. They were originally very angry when they were teased. After all, they were all well-known figures, but after hearing the old spider's words, they turned angry and happy. If they could have such a piece of clothing, today's crime would not be in vain.
Spider spirit gave the gift, and soon said goodbye to everyone and disappeared with two little spiders. Liu Yuanwai then distributed the clothes to today's guests, and after the distribution, there was one more. Liu Yuanwai thought about it and gave the clothes to Zhang De'an to thank him for his rescue efforts today.
Zhang De'an delayed it again and again, and then happily took the clothes. On the 2nd, the father and son happily went home with the reward. This time the reward was very generous. After they returned home, they used the money to do some small business, and no longer had to rush around to sell their skills.
Conclusion:
Spider spirit relies on magical powers and magic to tease the guests present, but he was cracked by the snake charmer using the accumulated experience method. Many things in the world will always leave traces, so when doing things that harm others and not benefit oneself, you need to think twice before you act, otherwise you will always be exposed after a long time.
