During the period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a beautiful woman named Feijing in central Guizhou. She was as beautiful as a flower, with a delicate and plump body. Even though she was married, there were still many people who coveted her. Not long ago, Feijing's husband Yue Yangchun drowned while out delivering goods. Feijing became a widow. Since then, her pursuers have crossed the threshold.
Among Feijing's suitors, there was a scholar named Tao Zimu. He and Yue Yangchun were close friends. After Yue Yangchun's death, he often came in and out of Feijing's house under the guise of caring. Feijing knew in her heart that Tao Zimu had thoughts of marrying her, but she had a deep relationship with her husband Yue Yangchun and her husband had recently passed away, so she really had no intention of remarrying.
Feijing had repeatedly rejected the attentive Tao Zimu. She sincerely told Tao Zimu that she had no intention of remarrying. But Tao Zimu seemed to not understand the words. He stubbornly said that he would wait for Feijing until the day Feijing accepted him.
That night, Feijing thought about Tao Zimu who came to pester her every day, and was so worried that she couldn't sleep. So she simply got up and planned to take a bath by the river in the dead of night.
It was quiet on the river bank, and a huge full moon hung in the sky, making the river surface sparkling. Feijing entered the river. She looked up at the full moon, thinking of the time she spent with her husband, and a burst of melancholy filled her heart. Feijing, who was immersed in melancholy, didn't notice that the water around her was rippled, and a huge black shadow flashed under the water.
As the night got darker, Feijing felt a slight chill. She stood up from the river and prepared to go ashore to get dressed. But the next moment, she noticed something wrapped around her ankle under the water. The touch of the thing was cold and smooth, and Feijing instantly got goosebumps all over her body.
Sensing something was wrong, Feijing hurriedly ran to the shore, but it was too late. A giant python broke out of the water and wrapped its body around Feijing's body, making her unable to move. Feijing screamed in horror. After a moment, a familiar male voice rang in her ears, "Feijing, don't be afraid, I am your husband Yue Yangchun."
Feijing turned her head to look at the giant python in shock. The giant python's mouth opened and closed, mouthing human words, "Feijing Jing, I am really Yue Yangchun, I was killed."
After a while, Feijing put on her clothes and stood on the shore. She looked at the giant python in the water, thinking about what her husband had just said to her, and the anger kept burning in her chest.
Yue Yangchun told Feijing that he was killed by Tao Zimu, and Tao Zimu's purpose of doing this was to occupy Feijing.
"That day, I returned from delivering goods and walked to the entrance of the village. I happened to bump into Tao Zimu. He asked me to go to the river to talk in detail. I didn't think too much and followed him to the river. Unexpectedly, he pushed me into the water and watched me drown in the water." Yue Yangchun said to Feijing in a calm voice, "After I died, I felt unwilling and my soul was in this water. Wandering, that day, this giant python was going through the tribulation in the water. It failed to survive the catastrophe, and its soul was gone. I saw that its body was intact, so I entered its body."
After hearing what happened, Feijing clenched her fists tightly and wanted to seek revenge on Tao Zimu immediately, but she knew very well that as a weak woman and alone, there was nothing she could do against Tao Zimu.
"Feijing, listen to me. I am worried that going to the village will cause panic among the villagers and attract Taoist priests , so I have been wandering in the river. You must not seek revenge on Tao Zimu alone. You try to lure him to the river and leave the rest to me." Yue Yangchun spat out the snake letter and said to Feijing.
This is indeed the best way at present. Feijing nodded in agreement and silently considered it in his heart.
The next day, Tao Zimu came to Feijing's home again. Feijing changed her previous cold attitude and started chatting with him. Before leaving, she said to Tao Zimu: "I'll wait for you by the river at the end of the village tonight. I have something to tell you." After that, she looked at Tao Zimu's ecstatic expression and sneered in her heart.
In the evening, Tao Zimu came to the river as promised. At this time, Feijing had been waiting by the river for a long time. Tao Zimu looked at Feijing's slender waist, and stretched out her arms to hug her. Feijing dodged away. She saw Tao Zimu's face become stiff, and she said coldly: "You haven't forgotten what you did by the river, have you? You are not afraid at all. If you still dare to insult me at the place where my husband died, aren't you afraid that his resentful spirit will come back to you? "
"Huh, it seems you already know, so I don't have to be polite to you," Tao Zimu said with a ferocious expression. "Feijing, how am I inferior to Yue Yangchun? Why do you never want to look at me? I didn't want to be rude to you, but if you refuse to eat the toast, you will be fined with wine , so don't blame me for being rude."
said, Tao Zimu rushed towards Feijing, Feijing smiled sarcastically and moved two steps to the side. The next moment, a giant python emerged from the river and bit Tao Zimu's head. As Tao Zimu wailed, the giant python swallowed him into its belly.
Later, Feijing followed Yue Yangchun, who turned into a giant python, and went to live in the mountains. No one in the village saw her again. Decades later, someone went up the mountain to collect firewood. When he returned to the village, he said that he had met a beautiful woman in the mountains and forests. The old man in the village listened to his description and found that the woman was Fei Jing. After decades, she had not aged at all.
