When Wu Yun was in Xiangyang, there were foxes in his residence, and I don't know how many of them. His predecessors were often persecuted by evil foxes, so that the common people privately praised foxes, saying that they were British foxes who eliminated greed. When Wu Yun first moved in, there were often fox demons who came, either throwing soil into the dishes or dung into the wine glass, but they only heard the sound but did not see its shape. Wu Yun once served in the army, and he had martial arts, and he could shoot birds down by closing his eyes to distinguish the sound, and his archery was very powerful! After drinking, the foxes came to trouble again, and Wu Yun was furious, ordering the men to lead the dogs into the room, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and pretending to fall asleep on the bed.
After a while, the dog noticed a fox demon walking around the room and ran forward to sniff. Wu Yun couldn't see it, so he made an arrow and shot the fox in the hind leg. The injured fox showed his prototype, struggled on the ground, and was bitten to death by the dog! However, listening to the sound, it seemed that some foxes had escaped. After a long time, Wu Yun wanted to sleep, and just after lying down, he suddenly heard a voice shouting, Wu Yun, why did you kill our messenger in vain? The voice said it several times. Wu Yun was very puzzled and said in the direction of the voice, What are you talking about? I don't quite understand. The voice replied again, I drank wine today, and I won't talk to you for the time being. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself after arguing and losing my etiquette. I should be able to set it up tomorrow and visit you again.
The voice left after he had finished speaking, and there was no more movement that night. The next afternoon, a man in white suddenly came to him and asked Wu Yun why he wanted to kill the messenger. Wu Yun replied that he didn't kill anyone, he only killed a fox last night! The man in white said angrily, this is what I'm talking about! Wu Yun heard the words and said seriously, why can't the fox harass the house and persecute the master, why can't he be killed? The man in white was even more angry when he heard it, and said loudly, "This is a Tianhu, just an order from God to warn these corrupt officials, it is allowed, but you and your predecessors are different, so the messenger specially came to recall the fox stationed here with an order, but he was killed by you for no reason. This matter can be punished for your crime!
When Wu Yun heard him say this, he was always terrified, poured wine to make amends to him, and the man in white drank a glass and said, although it was manslaughter, punishment is inevitable! Wu Yun poured wine and invited him to sin again, and the man in white drank wine and said, "This should be blamed on the vicious dog in front of your door, didn't he kill the messenger?" When I came, it was especially trying to be unfavorable to me, and it should bear the consequences of sin. Wu Yun ordered the servant to kill the dog, but the man in white saw it and reluctantly forgave his sin, murmured and left. Since then, the place where he lived has never made trouble with the fox again.
