There were two merchants in Yudong County, Jiangxi Province who came back from other places. When they were halfway through, it was dark. Although there was a moon, it was very dim and they couldn't see anything. When the two were worried about planning, they saw a man in white lying on the side of the road, smelling alcohol like he was drunk, and there was a horse tied to a tree not far away. It should be his. The merchant went to call him to see if he could help. But the man in white slept very hard, and woke up briefly and fell asleep again. The merchant kept urging him, and the man in white asked them impatiently what was the matter with them? The merchant said it was dark and there was no way to walk, and he wanted to ask you for help with the fire.

The man in white replied to them, Isn't there a moon to see the way? The merchant begged again, the moon was blinded by dark clouds, and it was no longer clear. I hope you can think of a way. The man in white was annoyed, so he took out a bowl of his clothes and said to the bowl, "These people are running back and forth for life, and it is also very hard. Can you borrow a little moonlight to escort them home? After saying this, he turned the bowl into the sky. When the bowl was in the air, it shot a beam of light from the moon onto the bowl, making it another moon, shining only around the merchant, as bright as the day. The merchant was very surprised, and the man in white fell asleep again.

The two of them discussed with each other, this is an immortal! If you have this opportunity, you should go back and entertain him well. The two of them led his horse over, and on the ground that wild beasts were infested, they hunched the white man on back of the horse and settled in one of their houses. When the man in white woke up the next day, he was in a hurry to say goodbye to the merchant, and the merchant asked for his resignation, so the man in white reluctantly agreed to stay for one more day. The merchant held a big feast and entertained the man in white with luxurious food and lodging, but the man in white seemed very uncomfortable with these, and ran away secretly after the banquet. When the merchant found out, he rode after him and intercepted him halfway.

The man in white sighed and said, "I can't repay your kindness, so why did you force me to stay?" The merchant replied, I entertained you out of sincerity and did not care about your return. If you say that, is there any disaster for me? The man in white heard the words, so there was no pardon. The merchant asked again, what would happen? The man in white said, it has reached his limit. The merchant was shocked, and after listening to it, he suddenly fell off his horse and died on the spot. The person who followed him came from behind to see all this, but he did not know the reason, thinking that the man in white had killed him, and caught him and wanted to report to the official. Seeing that the man in white couldn't explain it to the people, he simply followed everyone to the county yamen.

The official opened the trial and asked him to explain the cause of the merchant's death. The man in white said he fell off a horse and died. The official did not believe it and asked him what evidence he had. The man in white heard this and said that there was no one else at that time, so how could the dead person testify to me? However, there is another way, that is to find a person who is born in the zodiac of Tiger, with paper and pen, and ride on my fast horse and go west. The ghost of the underworld has not gone far, so he should be able to catch up. After listening to this, the official thought this matter was very absurd, but if he did not do so, he could not be convicted and let him fall under the law. He had to order a yamen who is born in Tiger, with paper and pen, to ride on the fast horse of the man in white and go west to take a look.

After half an hour, the yamen came back with the written white paper, and he was shocked and incredulous. He reported to the official in detail what he had seen on the road, and brought the testimony of the merchant's dead soul. The official took a look, and the ink was not dry yet. In the letter, in addition to stating that the cause of his own death had nothing to do with the man in white, he also left a last word for his family, explaining his death. The official asked the merchant's family to identify him, and they all said that the handwriting was indeed his, and the explanation was correct. When the official saw that the truth had been revealed, he dropped the case and released the man in white. After the man in white was released, he rode out of the city alone, and no one knew where he went or his identity.
