Wang Chang, a hunter, once went hunting in the mountains, and accidentally saw a white fox lying quietly in front of the stone wall. When the white fox saw strangers coming, he did not panic or hide. Wang Chang raised his bow and wanted to shoot, but the fox was not afraid, so he regarded it as unusual and gave up hunting for the time being. After several times, Wang Chang saw the white fox in the same place, always under the stone wall, even if it rained, he would never leave, but he would go out briefly forage at noon, and then return to the stone wall, as if waiting for something! Wang Chang was very strange about this, so he quietly told his wife. After listening to him, his wife said that all white animals have spirituality, and he should be waiting for some rare treasure.

Wang Chang was a little moved when he heard that, and he took advantage of the opportunity of White Fox going out many times in the future to inquire, but he didn't get anything. Another day, when White Fox went out, Wang Chang still couldn't find anything unusual. He was sitting on the ground sighing, his back leaning slightly against the stone wall, when suddenly he heard the sound of the stone road opening behind him. Looking back, he saw that the stone wall opened to the inside, leaving a gap that barely allowed people to pass. Wang Chang was taken aback, and when he entered the stone door, he saw that the inside was suddenly open, and the space was the size of three or four houses, and there were some gold and silver utensils placed inside. Looking at the dust that fell on it, he couldn't see that no one had been here for a long time. Wang was overjoyed, and he only sighed that he didn't have a bag when he came, about how to hold these many treasures.

He was going to take some back first, then pick it up after using it, so he chose a few, but he still felt it was not enough. At this time, he saw a pair of gold armor hanging on the stone wall, so he left the gold tool he selected in his hand, put on the gold armor and went out. After he came out, he pushed the stone wall, and it returned to its original state. Wang Chang waited until it was dark before secretly taking the armor to his home. His wife said angrily after seeing this, doesn't she know that hiding armor is a crime of beheading? Wang Chang suddenly woke up when he heard the words, and said, What should I do if I only know gold and silver, but not armor? His wife said, "How can I predict whether it is a blessing or a disaster? You can take off two or three scales, cut them into broken gold and use them, and then bury them for other reasons. Wang Chang nodded and agreed, as his wife had said.

After getting the broken gold, Wang Chang's family became wealthy and stopped hunting. They only ate and drank at home every day. His neighbors thought he had a strange fortune and expected him to do something illegal, so they blackmailed him. After discussing with his wife, Wang Chang took another piece of armor and cut it into broken gold for the neighbor, hoping he would not ask about it again. Then his neighbor was a greedy person, and soon after, he blackmailed him again. Seeing that he was a bottomless pit, Wang Chang and his wife ignored him. The neighbor was angry and went to sue the official. When the official heard that there was gold, he sent someone to Wang Chang's house to search, but to no avail. Later, Wang Chang was imprisoned and prepared to be tortured to force him to tell the reason.

Wang Chang's wife was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the torture, so she quietly gave the gold armor to the official and bribed him to settle the matter. The official was greedy for money and got golden armor, so he was willing to make the case public, so he beat Wang Chang's neighbor for false accusations, and Wang Chang was naturally acquitted. After the corrupt official received the golden armor, he cherished it very much and watched it in the secret room for a long time every day. Suddenly one day, a man in white broke into the secret room of the corrupt official with four soldiers and shouted loudly, who stole the general's armor. He went forward to capture the official, and the white man carefully checked the golden armor. When he saw that four pieces were missing, he said in horror, how could he go to the general without four pieces?

At this time, the soldiers under his command pointed at the official and said that he could cut off the palm of the person's hands and feet, and he should be able to reluctantly hand over the job after going back. After the white man heard this, he ordered the soldiers to cut off the palm of the corrupt official's hands and feet, and wrapped them together with the golden armor, and then led the crowd away. Although the corrupt official saved his life in the end, he lost his official position because of this. And Wang Chang's neighbor also fell ill because of the heavy punishment. From then on, Wang Chang and his wife no longer dared to take the treasure behind the stone wall. When they passed by, the white fox also lost its place, presumably because of this!
