Since ancient times, there have been many generous and tragic people in Yan and Zhao. Hejian Prefecture and Xianxian County, which are always mentioned in Lao Ji's stories, are under the rule of Cangzhou today. Historically, in order to oppose feudal exploitation and oppression, the people here have flourished folk martial arts and are known as the "Hometown of Martial Arts".
In the previous story , the Black Water Ghost and the Ghost King were mechanical watches . There were many martial arts masters in Xian County alone, such as Qi Da, Qi Shunting, Dr. Hu Sanguan, Bi Si, and the Dou I just mentioned. Erdon, wait, wait, wait.
My late father once heard his great-great-grandfather Ji Runshenggong say that there was a man named Jiang Sanmang in Jingcheng Town of Xian County. This guy was also known as the Lian family son, he was brave and honest.
One day, I heard someone tell a story in "Sou Shen Ji", saying that a man named Song Dingbo met a ghost. Old Song deceived the ghost and said that he was also a ghost, and tricked him into going to the farmer's market to confront the ghost. After spitting, the ghost turned into a sheep. Song Dingbo sold the black water ghost and ghost king to the sheep soup restaurant as a mechanical watch for one hundred and fifty yuan.
Jiang Sanmang laughed loudly after hearing this: I just learned today that ghosts can be sold for money. This is a way to make money. We don’t need more. We will catch a ghost in one night and sell it to a restaurant the next day. I will do that. Don’t worry about running out of wine! Binghahaha~~~
Since then, Jiang Sanmang has been wandering around the tombs every night, carrying a stick and a hemp rope. This state is no different from a hunter catching foxes and rabbits.
But I didn't meet a single ghost. Jiang Sanmang later concluded, is this because the ghost thinks that I am too strong and dare not come out? I pretended to be softer this time, and I didn’t take the stick or rope. I pretended to drink too much and went to sleep in places known to be haunted by ghosts. But he still didn't even look at the ghost hair.
This can be regarded as one day, Jiang Sanmang vaguely saw a few phosphorus lights flickering across a forest – this made Jiang Sanmang so excited that after so many nights, he finally saw something, he jumped up and headed towards that The will-o'-the-wisp is running wildly. The few points of faint blue phosphorus fire that seemed to be absent became increasingly blurry and dim. Before they could reach the place, those phosphorus fires had dissipated.
Jiang Sanmang knelt on the ground and cried: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu didn
Jiang Sanmang had been doing this for more than a month, but he didn't get anything. Later, his wife stopped doing it, saying that if you didn't stay home every night, I would cheat on you, so she stopped.
What should I say? This ghost is bullying people. It just wants to see you scared, so it takes the opportunity to scare people. This Jiang Sanmang is not stingy. He firmly believes that ghosts can be caught and sold for wine like sheep. In his belief, he is quite contemptuous of ghosts. This fearless arrogance is enough to scare those ghosts, so the ghosts are in turn afraid of him. Avoiding him.
