In the Ming Dynasty, an evil man caught a fox in the mountains and took it to the street to play. He did not listen to the old man's exhortation and hanged the fox from the tree. That night, the man was instructed by Immortal Dream to go to a neighboring county to do a ridiculous thing. The man was overjoyed and went to the neighboring county the next day. Unexpectedly, he accidentally killed one person and was caught in the county yamen. He was beheaded the same day after the trial.
There was a rogue ruffian named Wu Erliang in Baoqing Mansion. He became an orphan at the age of seven and lived on the streets with hooligans and ruffians. Wu Erliang often bullies the weak and is tyrannical. On weekdays, he drinks Erliang water and wine with every meal, hence his name. When he is drunk, he likes to cause trouble, so people nearby stay away when they see him.
One day at noon, Wu Erliang caught a fox from the mountain forest, tied it with hemp rope and dragged it to the street to play.
Seeing this, an old man stepped forward to persuade: "Second and second brothers, foxes are psychic and can take revenge on people, let it go quickly!" Wu Erliang did not believe it and scolded: "Who is your brother? Old guy mind your own business, don't rely on the old to sell the old, otherwise even you will not be wrong!" The old man left silently without saying a word.
That day, Wu Erliang got tired of playing with the fox, so he hung himself from the tree and died. Unexpectedly, the fox did not go to the Netherworld to reincarnate after death, but turned into a ghost fox.
At night, as soon as Wu Erliang fell asleep, Ghost Fox deliberately turned into an immortal and entered his dream.
The immortal looked at him and asked, "Are you Wu Erliang?" Seeing the immortal walking on auspicious clouds, Wu Erliang hurriedly fell to the ground and shouted, "Old immortal, the villain is Wu Erliang, please reward him!"
The immortal pinched his fingers and said, "You and I are destined, so I will tell you a good thing today." Wu Erliang hurriedly listened, and the immortal said, "There is a member named Li Sheng in Luo County who will die in the future. His sweet wife Chen shi will remarry with all her property. If you come to the door and tell Chen shi about this dream, she will marry you in the future!"
After listening, Wu Erliang woke up with a smile before he could kowtow and thank him.
The next day, Wu Erliang felt that the dream was so real, convinced that a god was guiding him. So he changed into a new suit and walked a hundred miles to Luo County.
On the local street, Wu Erliang asked several passersby, but none of them knew Li Sheng.
At this time, an old man in gorgeous clothes walked over, and Wu Erliang immediately approached with a smile and said, "The old man took a step to speak." The old man saw that Wu Erliang was angry and didn't want to pay attention, but when he heard Wu Erliang ask him if he knew Li Sheng, he became interested and said, "What are you looking for him for?"
After listening, Wu Erliang hurriedly told him about the dream.
Not surprisingly, the old man was Li Sheng himself. When he heard that Wu Erliang cursed him to death and wanted to steal his wife for money, he was furious on the spot and scolded, "Where did you come from? See if Li Sheng will kill you." After saying this, Li Sheng turned to the roadside pork stall, grabbed a pig-killing knife, and chopped Wu Erliang.
Here, more and more onlookers blocked the scene, and Wu Erliang could not escape. He dodged a few times, and when his nature was ruthless, he rushed forward regardless and grabbed Li Sheng's pig-killing knife.
After several tosses, Li Sheng was already over half a hundred years old, and every night he rolled in the quilt with his sweet wife. His body was weak. How could he be Wu Erliang's opponent?
With a few twists, Wu Er grabbed the knife with great strength, and killed Li Sheng with a few backhands.
Under the glare of the public, blood splattered in the market, Wu Erliang committed such a murder, and the person killed was still a local figure with a head and face. How could he escape easily? A few upright and strong men rushed up and forced him to send him to the official.
After being examined by the county magistrate, it was clear that Wu had two or two hundred mouths and could not argue. Who would believe his words? After being detained and convicted, the county magistrate sentenced him to a heavy sentence for justice. At dusk that day, he was also dragged into the street and beheaded.
After Wu Erliang died, his soul drifted into the underworld. When he entered the wilderness, he encountered a ghost with a fox's head in the shape of a human that stopped him. When he looked at it, it was the ghost fox Wu Erliang had killed.
At this moment, the Ghost Fox smiled coldly and said, "You bastard have today too. If I hadn't turned into an immortal and tricked you into going to Luo County, you would still be living happily!" After listening, Wu Erliang finally knew that he had been tricked by the Ghost Fox.
Unexpectedly, that Ghost Fox had a profound way of doing things, and was caught by Wu Erliang that day, because his primordial spirit flew to Jiuxiao Cloud, and a fox friend who was looking for Immortal Transformation went to drink. Later, when his soul returned to his body, he knew that his body had been killed by Wu Erliang, so there was a matter of revenge.
Not only could Wu Erliang not defeat the ghost fox, but he was tied to the other side's neck and dragged away in the wild, humiliated in every way. As soon as a ghost passed by, the ghost fox ordered Wu Erliang to learn to bark like a dog, and if he didn't obey, he would beat him.
Wu Erliang was casually teased by the ghost fox, revealing all kinds of ugliness. The passing ghosts were crying, but when they saw Wu Erliang like this, they also suddenly laughed.
That night, Ghost Fox dragged Wu Erliang to empty streets and alleys, and a Taoist priest named Wang happened to pass by. Seeing that Ghost Fox was pulling Wu Erliang, he immediately shouted: "Evil, how can you abuse ghosts like this! Hurry up and let him go to the underworld to reincarnate!" After that, he tried to save Wu Erliang.
In an instant, the ghost fox demon technique was great, and Daoist Wang was not an idle generation, but Wang Yuanyang, the senior brother of the 11th generation Wudang Mountain Sect Leader. Soldiers came here, and the other side blocked the water and covered the ground, killing one person and one fox.
After forty-nine rounds of fighting, the ghost fox gradually gave up. After eating the sword of Daoist Wang on his left leg, he soared and flew into the bright moon and clouds and disappeared.
At that moment, Wu Erliang saw everything in his eyes. Now that he had been tortured by ghosts and demons, he was suddenly released, and his face was full of gratitude. He hugged Daoist Wang and shouted, "Benefactor, living God."
A moment later, the two were about to leave when a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the sky, and when he looked around, he found that the ghost fox went to the sky and invited his senior brother, Nine-tailed Fox Immortal, to come down to earth.
Although the Nine-tailed Fox Immortal had ascended to the Dao and spent his days in the Immortal Mansion, his friendship with the Ghost Fox had not been reduced, and he had been waiting for him to ascend to meet, drink and travel the Eight Wilderness together. This Nine-tailed Fox Immortal was confused by the words of the Ghost Fox, and vowed to stand up for his brothers and come down to the world in person to beat up the king.
Daoist Wang was no match for the immortal fox. After three rounds of fighting, he got hit in his chest and spat out a mouthful of old blood. He sat on the ground weakly, and then the two foxes took him and Wu Erliang away.
This Fox Immortal and Ghost Fox took Daoist Wang and Wu Erliang to a cave mansion in the deep mountains, intending to suck the souls of both to improve the Dao Line.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to open his mouth, there were several rays of sky light directly shooting down in front of the hole. In an instant, a row of heavenly soldiers descended, and the leader of the heavenly general pointed to the nine-tailed fox fairy and shouted: "Bold fox fairy, actually helping the demon to do evil in private, quickly followed me to the heavenly court to suffer."
Seeing such a big battle, the Nine-tailed Fox Immortal had no intention of resisting. He obediently gave up his hands and went with the heavenly army. And the Ghost Fox and Wu Erliang were also sent down to the Netherworld to be sentenced by a group of ghosts.
In this room, after Daoist Wang returned, he asked the reason through the secret technique, and just learned that Wu Erliang and Ghost Fox were such small things, and many great divine powers were seen in his eyes, but he didn't want to pay attention.
However, the Nine-tailed Fox Immortal had already become immortal and had even gone down to help the demon. It was discovered by Gong Cao on duty.
This bastard quickly spread this trivial matter all over the heavens, and all kinds of immortals talked about it, saying that the collusion of immortals and demons was very bad, and the heavenly court sent heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to come down and capture the nine-tailed fox fairy for punishment, as an example.
After this incident, in the Netherworld, King Yama allowed Ghost Fox and Wu Erliang to resolve their grievances, and specifically made them a pair of brothers in their next life. The two had a very good relationship, and they didn't remember the enmity of their previous lives at all.
