During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a scholar named Zhu Xianglin in Suzhou. This person was in his twenties. He usually did not do his job properly and loved to drink fine wine.
On this day, Zhu Xianglin finished drinking at a friend's house, it was already late at night, and his friend asked him to stay and go back tomorrow morning. But he said, "I am a dignified man, am I still afraid of walking at night?" After saying that, he rushed home drunk.
There was no one on the street in the middle of the night, and it was terrifyingly quiet. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright, and Zhu Xianglin walked staggering forward. As he walked to Huolong Street, he saw a slender young woman in front of him, hurrying away.
The young woman was extremely beautiful, trembling with one step, like a willow swaying in the wind. Zhu Xianglin looked at the salivation and followed behind. As he walked, he asked the young woman: "Girl, are you not afraid of accidents when you travel alone so late?" Where are you going?
The young woman did not say anything when she heard it, but turned around and waved to Zhu Xianglin with a smile, motioning Zhu Xianglin to follow her. Zhu Xianglin was overjoyed and followed the woman happily behind. The woman walked to the front of a house and stopped, pushed open the door, and took Zhu Xianglin in as well.
Zhu Xianglin saw that the house was not very spacious, but the furnishings were gorgeous, so he walked into the room with the woman. This should be the woman's boudoir, with an exquisite dressing table, a mirror, and all kinds of fine rouge gouache. The woman reached out to open the tent, and saw that the bed was covered with embroidered quilts, and the fragrance was rich, making people feel unconscious.
The woman smiled and said to Zhu Xianglin, "Lang Jun, the night is already dark, why don't you sleep with this concubine?Zhu Xianglin was elated andut to sleep. Suddenly, he saw the fire flicker outside the house, and the tolerances of more than a dozen hand-held lanterns swarmed in. Each lantern had the words "Suzhou Mansion City God" written on it.
Zhu Xianglin was about to ask what was going on when tolerance, the young woman, and the house disappeared in an instant. Zhu Xianglin looked around and found that he was standing outside the stone railing of a stone bridge, and he would fall into the river if he moved a little. He was stunned, not knowing why he was here.
Just then, a military attache passed by and saw Zhu Xianglin's stupid appearance. He knew he had been bewitched by a ghost, so he sent him home. Later, someone commented that in this case, the drowning ghost should be looking for a substitute.
Fortunately, he should not have died. The City God of Suzhou Mansion sent a tolerance to illuminate the illusion of the Drowned Ghost with a divine lamp. Otherwise, Zhu Xianglin would surely stumble and die in the gentle illusion of the Drowned Ghost. From that day on, Zhu Xianglin changed his past, no longer coveted alcohol, began to study hard, and was kind to others.
