During the Dali period of Emperor Daizong of Tang Dynasty (766 to 779 AD), a young man named Lu became the county magistrate of Shangyu County. Later, the official position changed, and County Magistrate Lu was transferred to Beijing Chang'an .
In the capital, because Lu County Wei had no house, he could only rent a house in Yongchongfang for the time being.
In the capital, Lu County Wei also has many friends. On this day, County Magistrate Lu had a rare day off, so he invited some friends to have dinner at home.
Several people drank and chatted together, talking about literature and martial arts, and talking about big talk, which was very comfortable. By the time the meal was over, it was already dark, everyone stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave. County Magistrate Lu was also preparing to rest.
At this moment, there was an old lady outside wearing a white dress, only about two feet tall, like a dwarf. She walked over from the northwest outside and everyone saw it. She found it interesting and couldn't help laughing.
The old lady went into the house and got angry at the county magistrate Lu, saying, "You have a banquet and invite your friends to come, why don't you invite me? Do you look down on me so much?"
The county magistrate Lu was scolded and was very angry, and replied, "Where are you from the crazy mother-in-law? Why should I invite you? Go quickly, go quickly! Don't make me angry, otherwise you will be in trouble!"
The mother-in-law seemed to be scared when she heard this, and hurried out. She went outside, returned the same way, reached the northwest corner, and then disappeared.
When everyone saw it, they found it strange. They chased after it and saw nothing in the northwest corner. What's going on? Everyone thought it was unusual, but they couldn't tell the truth, so they all said goodbye and left.
The next morning, County Magistrate Lu was sleeping in the house because he had drunk too much wine, and he was the only one in the house.
Yesterday's two-foot-tall mother-in-law appeared again. She still came out from the northwest corner and then went into the house. She looked at County Magistrate Lu, and moved forward and backward, as if she wanted to get close but was afraid.
After seeing this, County Magistrate Lu scolded her fiercely and drove away the crazy mother-in-law.
For several days, the crazy mother-in-law would come over. She seemed to want to do something to County Magistrate Lu, but every time she got closer, she would retreat, as if she was afraid of County Magistrate Lu.
At first, County Magistrate Lu thought it was a crazy woman outside, so he ignored her. However, he was a little worried, thinking that this crazy mother-in-law was a monster. After all, this mother-in-law is too short and doesn't feel like a human. Moreover, where she came out and disappeared, that is, at the northwest corner, there was nothing.
When he thought that this old lady was a monster, County Magistrate Lu was also afraid. He thought to himself: "Since she is a monster, if she didn't get rid of her earlier, she would definitely harm herself. If she didn't get rid of her tonight, it would inevitably become a big problem in the future."
So County Magistrate Lu put the sword he used in daily life under the bed to guard against the short mother-in-law.
In the evening of that day, the short mother-in-law came again, still appeared from the northwest corner of the yard, and then walked over slowly, calmly. However, when she got into the house, she became the same as before, wanting to get close to County Magistrate Lu, but she didn't dare. However, this time she slowly, slowly, slowly, and slowly, came to the front of County Magistrate Lu.
County Magistrate Lu kept squinting his eyes, pretending to be asleep on the surface, but in fact he was paying attention.
As soon as he saw the short mother-in-law approaching, County Magistrate Lu slashed over with a sword. The short mother-in-law was agile and dodged, then punched Lu County Magistrate in the chest. Immediately, the short mother-in-law began to dance in front of Lu County Magistrate, shaking her sleeves, as if she was very proud.
County Magistrate Lu could not escape, and after being hit, his chest felt cold.
At this time, another short mother-in-law appeared behind the dancing short mother-in-law, which looked similar to the short mother-in-law in front. Then, she jumped up and punched Lu County Magistrate in the chest.
At this time, County Magistrate Lu felt that not only his chest was cold, but his whole body seemed to be covered with frost, and it seemed to fall into an ice hole.
County Magistrate Lu was shocked and waved his sword, only striking randomly, but he couldn't hit the two short mother-in-laws at all.
Soon, several short mother-in-laws appeared, and it seemed that short mother-in-law could clone her body skills. The more I looked at the county magistrate, the more I became, the more I was afraid, and I didn’t know if I would freeze to death, so I continued to chop.After a few times, although he still couldn't cut off his short mother-in-law, there were more and more short mother-in-laws, and there were already eighteen.
However, County Magistrate Lu found that every time there was an extra short mother-in-law, the short mother-in-law would be smaller. Now, these short mother-in-laws are only one foot tall. However, they all have the same appearance, so they can't tell who is who.
Later, there were more short mother-in-laws, at least dozens of them, each of which was only one inch tall. However, County Magistrate Lu could still see their appearance.
These short mother-in-laws have not only danced around Lu County Magistrate, but some have gone to the wall and bed to dance.
County Magistrate Lu was afraid, but he had no choice but to watch the mother-in-law dance with fear. He felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and he was both afraid and anxious.
At this time, the mother-in-law stopped dancing, all got up and lined up. Then a short mother-in-law in the middle smiled at County Magistrate Lu and said, "See, we can be one, County Magistrate Lu, please watch!" After
After saying that, sure enough, the mother-in-law on both sides squeezed towards the mother-in-law in the middle, and once they squeezed over, they would become one with her. Every time a mother-in-law and the middle mother-in-law are integrated, the short mother-in-law will be taller. In the end, there was only one mother-in-law, and she was two feet tall again, the same as at the beginning.
This short mother-in-law approached Lu County Magistrate and said to him, "How is it? Are you open your eyes?"
County Magistrate Lu was very scared and had no time to appreciate the performance. He asked, "What kind of monster are you? Why do you treat me like this? Go away quickly, otherwise, I will find an expert and a priest to subdue you with magical skills. Aren't you afraid?"
short mother-in-law said, "Don't scare me. If there is such an expert, then if you ask him to come, I will not be afraid of him. Besides, I came here just to tease you, but you took it seriously and wanted to kill me. I forced you to give you two punches because of helplessness. Fortunately, I didn't beat you to death. I won't play with you anymore, I'll leave!"
After saying that, the mother-in-law left the house and headed to the northwest corner, and slowly disappeared.
The next day, County Magistrate Lu went to find the doctor, but the doctor didn't know how to treat him. In desperation, County Magistrate Lu told others about this matter again.
There is a Mr. Tian . He is good at using talismans and spells to subdue monsters. He is also very famous in Chang'an. After hearing about this, he found Lu County Magistrate and said, "It is my business to subdue demons and eliminate demons. For such monsters, I will subdue them as simple as killing an ant . Tonight, I will go to your house and prepare to subdue her."
When it was evening, Lu County Magistrate and Mr. Tian sat in the house, waiting for the short mother-in-law to appear.
Sure enough, the short mother-in-law is here. When Mr. Tian saw her, he immediately shouted loudly: "You old monster, leave quickly, otherwise I can't spare you!"
short mother-in-law was not afraid, and he was wandering and unwilling to leave. She said to Mr. Tian: "Do you know what kind of monster I am? Don't you know? Since you don't know, how can you subdue me? What a joke!"
short mother-in-law said, and suddenly raised her hand, her arm fell down, turning into a short mother-in-law less than half an inch tall. The very small short mother-in-law jumped onto the bed a few times, and then jumped into Mr. Tian’s mouth.
Mr. Tian was shocked when he noticed it and said, "I'm dead, am I going to die?"
My grandma doesn't care about him and said to County Majesty Lu, "I won't harm you. The cold poison on your body will disappear within a few days. After all, I have kept a hand. By the way, you will be rich because of this. But, this useless warlock is not so lucky. She messed with me and she can't live!" After that, the short grandma disappeared.
The next day, a Taoist priest passed by here. After hearing about this, he said to County Magistrate Lu: "Since the short mother-in-law disappeared in the northwest corner, you can dig it out there, maybe you will find it. She has no malice towards you, she is just curious. You shouldn't chop her with a sword, otherwise your body will not be poisoned by cold, and you may still see the performance every day."
County Magistrate Lu was overjoyed and thanked the Taoist priest and asked for money. The Taoist priest refused to ask for it, so he left after showing his salute.
After returning home, County Wei Lu asked his servants to dig in the northwest corner.When they dug less than ten feet deep, everyone saw a bottle, which was quite large, with a volume of about one hu (pronounced as the same pot, one hu is ten hu, and later changed to five hu), which were filled with mercury .
Only then did County Wei Lu realize that the old lady was actually a mercury spirit. (I am happy to return, and I will be ordered to have a family servant in the place where I am endless. As a result, I get a bottle and can receive a gua of mercury, and I store a lot of mercury. I realized that the old woman is the essence of mercury.)
Because mercury is very strange, it can be divided, merged, and rolled on the ground like water droplets, so the short mother-in-law can transform into many herself and can also be combined into one.
Relying on these mercury, County Magistrate Lu really made a fortune. However, Mr. Tian was very unlucky. He was poisoned to death because he swallowed mercury.
After a few times, although he still couldn't cut off his short mother-in-law, there were more and more short mother-in-laws, and there were already eighteen.However, County Magistrate Lu found that every time there was an extra short mother-in-law, the short mother-in-law would be smaller.
