During the Tang Dynasty , there was a young scholar named Ye Qianfan in Luzhou. He was eighteen years old and had a good appearance. He especially liked to travel around mountains and rivers. Ye Qianfan's parents are very insightful. They believe that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. They are very supportive of Ye Qianfan. Whenever he goes out to play, his parents are very supportive of him and will prepare sufficient expenses for him. Therefore, Ye Qianfan has visited many places.
That autumn, Ye Qianfan went to a mountain in the south to play. In order to prevent him from getting lost, he specially marked the place along the way. In the evening, when Ye Qianfan was about to go down the mountain, he suddenly found that he could not find the way he came. All the marks he had made disappeared. What was even weirder was that a nunnery appeared on the top of the mountain at some point.
Ye Qianfan searched for a long time but could not find the way down the mountain. It was completely dark at that time. Ye Qianfan had no choice but to knock on the door of the nunnery and prepare to stay overnight. The person who came to open the door was an old nun with a frown on her face. When she learned that Ye Qianfan was staying here, she seemed very impatient and immediately wanted to drive him away with a straight face.
Ye Qianfan was worried about encountering wild beasts on the mountain and did not dare to leave. He begged for a long time, but the old nun was unmoved. Finally, a young nun saw that Ye Qianfan was pitiful and invited the nunnery owner. The nunnery owner agreed that Ye Qianfan would stay here, and the old nun let Ye Qianfan into the nunnery.
Ye Qianfan had a place to live and thanked the nuns again and again, but when he walked into the nunnery, he found that something was wrong with the nuns. Ye Qianfan found that the nuns looked at him very strangely, like hunting dogs seeing food.
When Ye Qianfan saw this scene, he felt very strange, but before he could figure out what was going on, the old nun took him to a wing room. Before leaving, the old nun told Ye Qianfan very seriously: "If you don't want to die, stay in this room and don't go out!"
When Ye Qianfan heard the old nun's serious words, he felt inexplicably uneasy. Would his life be in danger if he stayed in this nunnery for one night?
Ye Qianfan thought of the way those nuns looked at him, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, lying on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep. In the middle of the night, the old nun suddenly broke into Ye Qianfan's room. She couldn't help but pull Ye Qianfan up, covered his mouth with one hand, and forcibly dragged him to a secret room underground.
Ye Qianfan became more and more uneasy. He couldn't figure out how the old nun who looked so weak could have so much strength.
Entering the secret room, Ye Qianfan struggled desperately to get rid of the shackles of the old nun, but the old nun whispered to him: "Don't make a sound, otherwise you and I will not survive!"
As soon as the old nun finished speaking, Ye Qianfan listened. A woman's sharp voice came from above the head: "The scholar has run away, find me quickly!"
This secret room was not soundproof, and Ye Qianfan clearly heard the nuns cursing him, followed by the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets. It must be that the nuns were looking for him. Ye Qianfan was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, and he even deliberately lowered his breathing.
After a while, the sound above her head disappeared. The old nun breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Ye Qianfan. Ye Qianfan had already figured out that those nuns wanted to harm him. He asked the old nun uneasily: "What's going on?"
"I don't let you stay in the nunnery just to protect you, but you have to come in..." The old nun sighed and said to Ye Qianfan: "Those nuns are not human at all, they are pretending. I kindly took you in just to kill you! "
It turns out that those nuns are transformed by a group of civet cat spirits. Every evening, they will create this nunnery on the top of the mountain, and cast spells to make people who are still on the mountain get lost, so that they have to stay here. People who come to this temple to stay overnight are eaten by those civet cat spirits.
When Ye Qianfan heard the old nun explain the truth, he became more and more frightened. He did not expect that when he entered this nunnery to stay for the night, he would be caught in a trap. He hurriedly asked the old nun: "Master, all those civet cats are looking for me now. What should we do? "
"Don't worry, I have a way to deal with them!" The old nun said a few words of incantation and turned into a beautiful girl in a white dress.
When Ye Qianfan saw this scene, his eyes widened in surprise: "Are you a human or a demon?"
"My name is Nian Yao, I am neither a human nor a demon!" Nian Yao smiled and warned Ye Qianfan. : "I'm going to subdue those civet cats. You wait for me here and don't come out!"
At dawn, Nianyao subdued the group of civet cats. She took Ye Qianfan out of the secret room and told her her true identity.
It turns out that Nianyao is the Lingbo fairy in the sky. She knew that there was a civet cat spirit here that was causing trouble and harming people, so she came here to subdue the demon. She deliberately turned into an old nun and mingled with the civet cats in order to secretly investigate their evidence.
When Fairy Lingbo was about to get rid of the demon, Ye Qianfan suddenly came here. In order to protect him, Fairy Lingbo cast a spell to create this secret room, and took Ye Qianfan to the secret room to hide, and he escaped this disaster.
After Ye Qianfan learned the truth, he hurriedly thanked Fairy Lingbo. Fairy Lingbo smiled and waved her hand. She sent Ye Qianfan down the mountain and left in the clouds. Later, Ye Qianfan returned home safely. After this incident, he was extra cautious every time he traveled, so he never encountered strange things again.
Fairy Lingbo was praised by the Jade Emperor for getting rid of the civet spirit and saving the people. After that, she often went down to earth to help the people and saved many people.
