In the 2 years of the Qing Dynasty, there was a tribute student named An Youyu in Shaanxi. He was loyal and honest, with a careless and kind-hearted person, and especially liked to release animals. On that day, he went to attend a funeral at his relative's house. When he came back, he took a detour through Huashan. Because it was already evening, he wanted to rush home early.
Seeing that the sky was dark, he was lost and wandered around the valley for a long time, but he still couldn't find his way home. After walking for another hour, it was completely dark. I thought that if I couldn't get out of this valley, the consequences would be unimaginable, so Ansheng became nervous.
Suddenly I found the lights flashing in the hillside in front of me, so I rushed towards the lights, thinking that I finally found a place where there is a living place. With the bright moonlight, I saw a farmhouse courtyard at the end of the path, but this was not the place where he saw the light. As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, an old man opened the door for him.
An Sheng hurriedly bowed to the old man and said, "My name is An Youyu. I am lost when I am dark and I am about to find a place to stay. Suddenly I saw the lights in front of me flashing. For some reason, I came to the gate of your mansion.
The old man smiled and said: Fortunately, you came to this humble house, and I happened to come out again. The lights in front of him were not an Anle Township. After speaking, Ansheng followed the old man into the courtyard.
Then an old woman opened the door for them and asked: Is it Anlang? The old man smiled and said yes, and entered the room.
Inside the house is a small hall, with three main rooms, one inner room on each side, and a small living room in the middle, and the old man turned on the lights. He urged Ansheng to sit down and rest, and then said to the old woman: This is my benefactor. Come and prepare the meal quickly. The old woman went to cook in a hurry, and the old man shouted to his daughter out and pour wine for the guests.
After a while, a woman of seventeen or eighteen came in with a strange smell and brought food. She stood beside the old man, but her eyes glanced at Ansheng from time to time. Ansheng secretly peeked at her embarrassedly and found that the woman's skin was fair, charming and not vulgar. The old man pretended not to see it, but just urged his daughter to go to them to drink warmly.
The woman went into the house on the right to warm up the wine, and there was a stove in the corner of the house. An Sheng asked: Who is the girl from the old man? The old man said: My husband’s surname is Zhang, and he only has such a daughter. Her name is Hua Guzi.
An Sheng asked again: Has she betrothed by others? The old man said no. So Ansheng praised Hua Guzi for not only being like a fairy, but also looking very virtuous.
The old man said: The farmer's family has no maids and servants, and the young master is not an outsider, so I dared to let my wife and daughter come out to see you.
At this moment, Hua Guzi suddenly shouted in panic: Oh my God! The wine actually boiled.
The old man quickly ran over, quickly put out the flames, and then scolded his daughter: Such a big girl, don’t you know that the wine is boiling? I am always absent-minded in doing things, so why are you stunned?
At this time, An Sheng and the old man found a Zi Shen Gu made of sorghum core hanging next to the stove, so the old man smiled and said to An Sheng: Look, such a big girl is still as playful as a child. You have praised her just now.
An Sheng carefully looked at the Zi Shen Guzi made by Hua Guzi. His eyebrows and clothes were made very finely, so he couldn't help but praise him: Although it was a kid's gadget, it was made vividly. From this we can see that she was a skillful girl.
Hua Guzi heard An Sheng’s praise and smiled embarrassedly, then poured them the hot wine. She smiled with a dignified and generous face. An Sheng was drinking, but his eyes were staring at Hua Guzi, who pretended not to see it. Suddenly, the old woman in the left ventricular called the old man, and the old man got up and went into the house.
An Sheng saw the old man enter the house. At this time, he was a little drunk, so he said attentively to Hua Guzi: The girl is more beautiful than a fairy, and she has no betrothal to others. I want to find a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. I wonder if you like me? Hua Guzi kept pouring wine for him, not taking what he said, and she didn't say a word as if she hadn't heard what he said.
So Ansheng took her hand and begged bitterly. Hua Guzi tried hard to shake off his hand and started calling loudly. Hearing the shout, the old man hurried out to ask Ansheng what happened. An Sheng hurriedly let go of his hand and thought to himself: I lost my attitude after drinking a few glasses of wine. It's too inappropriate. He was both ashamed and afraid.
But this Hua Guzi said to her father as if nothing had happened: I accidentally poured the wine on Mr. An. The old man scolded his daughter and said: You are usually very serious in your work. What's wrong with you today? You are not afraid of customers laughing at you. An Sheng was already in a state of dismay, so he had to follow Hua Guzi and said: It's not your fault, it's all my fault, Hua Guzi also took the opportunity to return to his room.
The old man saw that An Sheng was really drunk, so he quickly laid his bedding for him in the small house in the middle, and then told him to rest quickly, pack up the dishes, and he also went back to the room to rest. Before dawn, An Sheng greeted the old man and wanted to go back.
The old man said: Why don’t you stay for a few more days? Although there are no big fish and meat to entertain you, the dishes my wife cooks are also very delicious. An Sheng said: I have to go back quickly, maybe my family is worrying about me now.
When she returned home, An Sheng immediately asked his cousin to propose marriage at the place where he lived last night, and repeatedly reminded his cousin: I was lost when I passed by Huashan last night, so I lived in the old man's house named Zhang. Her daughter is Hua Guzi. The woman is very beautiful. The old man Zhang also said that I am his benefactor. This marriage will definitely be done, and you must tell them well.
Cousin asked: What kind of kindness do you have to him?
An Sheng said: You also know my character. You always like to help others, but I don’t know when I have helped him. My cousin had to search for the place he designated. Unexpectedly, after searching for the whole day, he couldn't find the place where Old Man Zhang lived. Helplessly, my cousin had to lead a dozen people back home.
Early the next morning, Ansheng took his servant on a horse and followed the way he came back to search. When he saw that there were steep stone walls and steep cliffs everywhere, there was no courtyard of Zhang's old man's house. After Ansheng returned home, he was restless and was in a daze. He could barely drink some porridge and was vomited out. He kept calling "Hua Guzi" in his dream.
Late that night, An Sheng had just fallen asleep in a daze when he suddenly felt someone standing in front of his bed. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that it was Hua Guzi who was staring at him affectionately. He couldn't help but burst into tears, so he pulled her down desperately.
Hua Guzi immediately massaged him with both hands temple . An Sheng immediately felt a strange musk smell penetrated into his bone marrow, and his body immediately became relaxed. Hua Guzi stopped and said: It’s not convenient for me to live here. I will come to see you again in three days. As she said that, she took out a few buns from it and put them on the head of the bed, and then left regardless of An Sheng’s begging.
In the middle of the night, An Sheng suddenly wanted to eat something, so he ate a bun left by Hua Guzi. He didn't know what filling was inside the bun, and it tasted very delicious. When he woke up the next morning, his body felt as if he had been removed and his burden became more relaxed. So he thought that Hua Guzi came to see him three days later, so his illness was cured.
On the third night, Hua Guzi came indeed, An Sheng couldn't help but hug her in her arms, and An Sheng immediately felt a strange fragrance coming from her body. So he asked: What fragrance did you smell? All were immersed in the bone marrow skin. Hua Guzi smiled and said: I was born like this, An Sheng was very surprised when he heard it.
The next day, before dawn, Hua Guzi stood up and wanted to leave and said: I don’t want to run here every day. Please go to my house tomorrow night.An Sheng said: The mountain road is so bumpy, how did you get here? Hua Guzi said: Actually, when I came to see you on the first day, I didn’t go home. I lived in my aunt’s house in the neighboring village, but I have to go back now, and my parents are already worried about me.
Then the two agreed to make an appointment halfway through Huashan, and then go back to see Zhang and his wife together. After lunch, An Sheng did not say hello to his family, so he hurried towards Huashan. Hua Gu was indeed waiting for him by the side of the road. The two of them laughed and arrived at Zhang's house again.
Chapter 1 The old man and his wife came out happily to greet him and quickly set up a table of dishes. Although they were all wild vegetables, the wine and coriander were also delicious. During the banquet, I never saw Hua Guzi come out. An Sheng was very surprised by this, but he was embarrassed to ask the old man. After dinner, the old man arranged for him to rest in the room he had lived in before.
It was not until late at night that Hua Guzi came to him quietly, but Hua Guzi was full of sadness. An Sheng wanted to ask her, but Hua Guzi didn't dare to look directly at him.
After a long time of silence, Hua Guzi said to An Sheng: Tonight's meeting is our permanent separation. An Sheng hurriedly asked her why she said such words.
Hua Guzi said: My father said that we live in this place too desolate and we are going to move to a very far place. Today is our last reunion. As he spoke, he couldn't speak. She was crying with great sadness and helplessness. When it was almost dawn, Old Man Zhang suddenly scolded his daughter outside the door and said: Such a big girl, why don’t you know how to keep yourself clean? Come out and help your mother pack up. You have to leave these days.
Hua Guzi was shocked and stood up and hurriedly ran out. An Sheng didn't dare to go out to ask. He felt ashamed at this time, so he secretly went down the mountain and went home.
After An Sheng returned home, he regretted again. He thought to himself: This old man said that I was kind to him. Knowing that I had a relationship with his daughter, he shouldn’t condemn us so mercilessly? I didn't give me any face at all, so I had to plead him with the girl Hua to me, so the next day he came to Huashan again.
But for some reason, when he was about to arrive at Old Man Zhang's house, he lost his direction again and didn't know where to go. At this moment, he suddenly saw a house in the valley, so he accelerated his pace and came to the gate of the house. He saw that the gate tower of the house was tall and majestic, like the house of an official family.
The door was suddenly opened, and a maid came out and asked: Who are you? He actually wandered in front of someone's door? An Sheng hurriedly said: I was looking for Old Man Zhang’s house, but I was lost again. It was already dark at this time. Suddenly, I saw this residence, and I came to ask for directions.
The maid said: This is Hua Guzi's uncle's home. She happens to live here. I'll report to you and wait for a moment. After a while, the maid came out and asked her to enter the house. As soon as she walked to the aisle under the eaves, Hua Guzi ran out to greet him and said to the maid: "Mr. I've been running for the middle of the night and I'm very tired. Hurry up and clean up the bed and let him rest."
As she said that, Hua Guzi couldn't wait to take An Sheng's hand and come to the main hall. She had just sat down and had not yet drunk water, but the maid said that the bed had been laid. So Hua Guzi took him into the inner room, and the two of them entered the bed curtain with their hands.
Suddenly Ansheng smelled a very pungent smell of fishy smell on the body of the lady Hua, so he became suspicious. When he was with the lady Hua, he always smelled strange musk , and even her tone and expression were different. Hua Guzi suddenly hugged him and licked his nostrils with her long tongue. An Sheng felt like he was stabbed into his brain by a poisonous needle. Before he could struggle, he fainted.
Because Ansheng did not return all night, his family came out to look for it. Someone on the way said that he met Ansheng and went to Huashan yesterday. So his family and servants went into the mountain to search, but found that he was lying under the cliff, his face was bloodless, and there was a black and purple scar as big as a needle hole on his neck. He didn't expect that he would die so miserably.
So the family carried him home crying and they set up a mourning hall for him, and they all cried sadly. In the evening, a woman of seventeen or eighteen years old came to pay her respects, but no one knew her. The woman bent down and looked at An Sheng carefully, pressed his nose and cried loudly, tears kept falling into Song Sheng's nostrils.
Until the woman cried so hard that she felt hoarse, she stood up and stopped crying, and then said to her family: Don’t pretend to be restrained within seven days, maybe he still has some help. After saying that, she disappeared like the wind. Her family had to believe her words and just treat it as a dead horse.
From then on, the woman came over every evening and cried loudly, and she cried every day like the first day. Until the seventh day, An Sheng suddenly woke up. After seeing Hua Guzi, she didn't know how to ask her for a moment. The two of them were speechless for a while. An Sheng asked her family to go out for the time being, otherwise neither of them would be able to speak.
After the family went out, Hua Guzi still didn't speak. After a while, she took out the herb with a strange fragrance from her sleeve and cooked a bowl of soup for An Sheng. After An Sheng drank it, she could obviously feel relaxed, but she still couldn't get out of bed. An Sheng asked in confusion: It was you who killed me, and it was you who resurrected me again, and told Hua Guzi about her experience at her uncle's house.
Hua Guzi said sadly: This is the snake spirit that has been practicing for a hundred years, pretending to be me. The light you saw when you got lost for the first time is also the maze formation created by the snake spirit. At that time, my father saved you, so we met and fell in love with each other.
An Sheng asked: Why did your father say that I was his benefactor?
Hua Guzi said: Five years ago, you bought a hunter-catching deer on the road to Huashan. He is my father, so my father said that you have great kindness to my family. In fact, you were reincarnated into the Wang family in Xicun two days ago. My father hurried to the Wang family to inspect and found that although the Wang family was very wealthy, he was treacherous and his family's property was ill-gotten. He was afraid that he would harm his children and grandchildren in the future. Then you should be in great trouble.
So my father went to the Hall of Hell, begging Hell to revive you, and knelt down for seven days and seven nights, and finally the King of Hell finally agreed, and his father destroyed half of his Taoism as a price. Although you are resurrected from the dead today, your lower body is already paralyzed and you will gradually lose your feelings. If you want to recover, you must kill the snake spirit and drink it with its blood and wine before you can completely heal.
It is not difficult for me to kill the snake spirit, but it also involves 60% of my Taoism. This snake spirit's Nestle is in a hole in a cliff in the valley, allowing people to pile up dry firewood under the cliff to set fire. When the snake spirit is forced out, let the archer shoot it. I will sit at the top of the cliff and stop it from running away.
I am already pregnant with your child and will give it to you in a year. After that, Hua Guzi disappeared in tears.
So, Ansheng said to his family. Ansheng's cousin led dozens of young people to the place designated by Huaguzi. Everyone piled up dry branches at the entrance of the cave and lit them. Then a big white snake rushed out of the flames. It tried to rush up the cliff, but Huaguzi was waiting for it on it, but he had no choice but to rush down the cliff. The archer fired several swords at once, and the snake spirit fell down.
Ansheng drank the medicinal wine and slowly recovered his consciousness after half a year. A year later, Ansheng missed Hua Guzi very much, so he came to the valley alone. Suddenly, an old woman came towards him holding a baby. He looked at him and found that he was Hua Guzi's mother.
The woman handed the child to him and said: My daughter and his father have now gone to the distant Wushan to practice, and their father and daughter have almost lost 90% of their practice. It is far higher than the original idea. In the future, you should not come to this valley. You will never meet Hua Guzi again. After I go back to reunite with their father and daughter, I will seal the cave and practice for a hundred years. You should know that the human beings have different paths. After saying that, the old woman disappeared.
An Sheng opened the bedding and saw that it was a boy. He took his son home and told his parents about the whole story. An Sheng's mother looked at the child and said: That's right, this child's eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as when you were a child. Although Ansheng never went to Mount Hua again, he never married his wife in his life.
