A scholar named Sun studied at Liugou Temple in Nanshan for a period of time when he was young.

One autumn, during the wheat harvest season, I went home to visit, and it took more than twenty years before I returned to the temple. He returned to the temple and opened the door of the study room. He saw that the desk was covered with dust and the windows were covered with cobwebs, as if no one had lived there for several years. He asked his servants to clean the room, and they kept doing it until evening. Only then was the room clean enough for people to enter.

So, he asked the servant to put away the luggage and spread the bedding, closed the door and prepared to lie down and rest. At this time, the moonlight had filled the window. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time without falling asleep. It was quiet and there was no sound at all. Suddenly, he heard a strong wind blowing, and the temple door suddenly made a loud noise. He secretly thought that maybe the monk in the temple forgot to lock the door. While he was guessing, he heard the wind gradually blowing in front of his door.

After a while, the door opened automatically. He was very confused. Before he could figure it out, the sound of wind had already entered the house, and he heard the sound of "clanging" boots wearing boots, gradually approaching the bedroom door. Fear began to grow in him. Then, the bedroom door opened. He hurriedly looked up and saw a big ghost bending down and squeezing into the room. The big ghost straightened up, his head was as tall as the rafters, his face was the color of a ripe pumpkin skin, his eyes were flickering around, looking around the room, and his open mouth was as big as a basin. , a few sparse teeth were about three inches long, and when the tongue flipped, a "whooshing" sound came out of the throat, which shook the walls with a "buzzing" echo. He was extremely frightened, and thought that he was only about a foot away from the big ghost, so he would not be able to escape, so he might as well fight him desperately.

So, he slowly pulled out the saber under the pillow, suddenly pulled out a sharp knife, and struck the big ghost's stomach, making a sound like metal and stone hitting each other. The big ghost was enraged and stretched out his giant claws to catch him. He shrank back slightly, and the big ghost grabbed the quilt, pulled the quilt and left angrily. He fell to the ground along with the quilt, lying on the ground and shouting loudly. The servants ran over with lights in hand. Seeing that the door was closed, they broke the window and jumped in. The family members were shocked when they saw the owner's condition. After helping him to bed, Sun Shusheng slowly told him what had just happened. Everyone went to check and saw the quilt caught in the crack of the bedroom door. When I opened the door and took a look in the moonlight, I saw a paw print on it as big as a dustpan, and the place where my fingers were grasping was scratched through.

After dawn, Shusheng Sun did not dare to stay there any longer, so he packed up his things and went home. Later, I asked the monks in the temple and they all said that nothing strange happened again.
