○ Yugan County Magistrate
Poyang LakeSoutheast Yugan County, the county magistrate often died violently within a few days of taking office. After repeated news, no one dared to take office. The house where the magistrate once lived gradually became deserted.
During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty , a scholar came to Yugan County to serve as the county magistrate because his family was poor. After arriving, the county official asked the county magistrate to live in another house.
The county magistrate sent people to tidy up the house where the county magistrate lived in the past, cut off thorns and thatch, and repair the courtyard walls and houses. Then moved in.
The magistrate sat alone in the house, lighting a row of candles beside him at night. After the second watch, something like a big white bag jumped up to the bed, and then jumped on the table.
The county magistrate was not afraid. He touched the thing gently with his hand and found that it was actually a leather bag filled with water.
The county magistrate said to it: "Help me move the lamp to the southwest corner." As soon as he finished speaking, the lamp was already placed in the southwest corner. The county magistrate added: "You can give me a massage." The leather bag was rotated onto the magistrate's body, and the magistrate felt extremely comfortable.
The county magistrate asked again jokingly: "Can you make my bed stop in mid-air?" Soon, the bed was already hanging in the air.
No matter what the county magistrate says, the leather bag can satisfy his wishes. When it was almost dawn, the leather bag jumped and ran away. The county magistrate followed up and found that the leather bag had disappeared by the pool next to the house.
The next day, the county magistrate looked at the place where the leather bag disappeared and found a small hole, only the size of an ant hole. After digging about a foot down, the hole began to grow larger, with a diameter of about a foot and an unfathomable depth.
The county magistrate asked everyone to prepare some firewood and iron pots, scoop up the water in the pool, boil it and pour it into the hole. After pouring about a hundred cans of hot water, a thunderous sound came from the cave and the ground began to shake. After pouring another hundred dendrobium, the cave became silent.
So he dug down hard, and after digging a few feet, he saw a big snake, more than a hundred feet long. There were thousands of little snakes nearby, and they all died in the cave.
The county magistrate ordered the big snake to be dragged out, and the snake meat was made into dried meat and distributed to the people in the county. After this, the county magistrate will be auspicious and safe.

Ji said: "When I was alive, I was a Jinshi. Sometimes I looked down on others, sometimes I criticized poems, songs, and articles, and sometimes I slandered and abused others. Now I am in the underworld, and I am sent two pills every day by ghost messengers. A snake and three centipedes came in and out of my body. The pain I suffered was really unbearable. According to the regulations, I had to suffer this crime for three hundred and sixty days, and I could not be reborn until the expiration of the period. By Yama King I stripped off my clothes and my old trousers were torn. You can make me a pair of full-crotch trousers.”
