Chapter 19 "Painted Skin"

Wang Sheng from Taiyuan got up early in the morning and was on his way. He met a woman who was running alone on the road with a bundle in her arms, showing that she was struggling.Wang Sheng hurried to catch up and saw that it was a beautiful girl in her teens.Wang Sheng admired her very much, and asked, "Why are you traveling alone before dawn?"The woman said: You are a walking person, and you can't relieve other people's depression. Why do you ask me?Wang Sheng said: What worries do you have?If I can work, I will never refuse!The woman said sadly: My parents were greedy for money and sold me to a rich family as a concubine.The eldest wife in that family was very jealous of me.I was scolded every morning and beaten at night. I couldn't take it anymore and wanted to escape to a faraway place.Wang Sheng asked: Where are you going?The woman said: How can a fugitive have a certain place to go?Wang Sheng said: My house is not far from here, so I will wrong you to go to my house.The woman was very happy and agreed.Wang Sheng carried the burden for her and led her home together.The woman entered the door and saw that there was no one in the room, and asked, "Why doesn't your husband have a family?"Wang Sheng replied: This is my study.The woman said: This place is very good.If you pity me and want to save me, you have to keep it a secret and don't let others know.Wang Sheng agreed, and the two slept together.The woman hid in the study, and no one knew about it after many days.Wang Sheng revealed this matter to his wife Chen Shi a little bit. His wife suspected that the woman was the dowry daughter of a rich family and urged Wang Sheng to send her away, but Wang Sheng refused to listen.

One day, Wang Sheng went to the market by chance and met a Taoist priest.When the Taoist saw Wang Sheng, he was surprised and asked, "What happened to you?"Wang Sheng replied: "Nothing happened."The Taoist said: You are surrounded by evil spirits, why don't you have any?Wang Sheng tried his best to defend himself, so the Taoist had no choice but to leave, saying: How stupid!There are people in the world who are not awakened when they are about to die.Wang Sheng was very surprised when he heard the Taoist's words, and couldn't help but suspect the woman.After thinking about it, she is obviously a beautiful girl, how could she be a monster?It must be Taoist priests who want to cheat food under the guise of suppressing evil and eliminating disasters.After a while, when he came to the door of the study, he found that the door was closed from the inside, and he couldn't get in. Wang Sheng was suspicious, so he jumped into the yard from the gap in the wall; Looking inside, I saw a ferocious evil ghost with a green complexion and jagged fangs, holding a colored pen and painting on a piece of human skin on the bed.After the painting was finished, the evil spirit threw away the colored pen, lifted the human skin, shook it like a garment, put it on his body, and immediately turned into a woman.Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng was terrified, and quietly crawled out like a dog, and hurriedly chased after the Taoist priest, but the Taoist priest had disappeared.Wang Sheng searched everywhere, and finally met a Taoist priest in the wild.Wang Sheng knelt on the ground straight and begged the Taoist for help.The Taoist said: Let me drive it away for you.It took a lot of painstaking effort to find a substitute for this thing, and I couldn't bear to hurt its life.After speaking, he gave Wang Sheng a whisk and asked him to hang it on the bedroom door.When parting, the Taoist asked him to meet at Qingdi Temple the next day.When Wang Sheng returned home, he didn't dare to enter the study, so he slept in his wife's room and hung the fly whisk on the door.At the first watch, Wang Sheng heard movement outside the door, so he didn't dare to look at it, so he asked his wife to look through the crack of the door.I saw a woman walking over. Seeing the whisk on the door, the woman dared not come in. She stood outside the door and gritted her teeth angrily. After a long time, she left.After a while, the woman came back again, cursing and saying: Taoist scare me!You can't spit out what you eat in your mouth!Saying so, he took off the fly whisk, smashed it to pieces, broke through the door and went inside, went straight to Wang Sheng's bed, tore open Wang Sheng's belly, grabbed his heart and carried him away.Wang Sheng's wife cried out loudly. The maid heard the sound and shone a light on it. Wang Sheng was dead, and the place was splattered with dirty blood.Chen was too frightened to cry out, but shed tears.

The next day, Chen sent his younger brother Erlang to tell the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest said angrily, "I pity it, how dare you do this!"He followed Erlang to the house, and the woman did not know where she had gone.The Taoist looked up and looked around, and said, "Fortunately, I didn't escape far."Q: Who is the South Campus?Erlang said: "It's my residence."The Taoist said: That ghost is now at your house.Erlang was taken aback and thought he was not at his house.The Taoist asked him, "Did someone you didn't know come to your house?"Erlang replied: I went to Qingdi Temple early in the morning, but I really don't know.Wait until I get home and ask.After a short time, he came back and said, "Sure enough, there is such a thing."There was an old woman who came this morning, she wanted to be a servant for our family, to run the house, my wife left her, and she is still at home.The Taoist said: This is the thing.So I went to the South Courtyard with Erlang.After entering the courtyard, the Taoist stood in the middle of the courtyard with a wooden sword in his hand, and shouted: "Evil barrier!"Pay me for my whisk!The old woman was in the house, panicked with fright, her face was pale, and she rushed out to escape.The Taoist chased after him and slashed at it with his sword. The old woman fell to the ground, the human skin fell off with a bang, and she turned into a demon, lying there howling like a pig.The Taoist cut off the head of the evil ghost with a wooden sword, and the ghost's body turned into a puff of smoke, spinning into a pile on the ground.The Taoist priest took out a gourd, unplugged it, and put it in the smoke, only to hear the whizzing sound, and the smoke was sucked into the gourd in the blink of an eye.The Taoist stuffed the mouth of the gourd tightly and put it in his pocket.Everyone look at that piece of human skin, eyebrows, eyes, hands and feet, there is nothing missing.The Taoist rolled up the human skin, made a sound like rolling a scroll, put it in his pocket, and left.The Chen family greeted the door and knelt down, begging the Taoist priest to save Wang Sheng.The Taoist refused and could do nothing, and Chen became even more sad, lying on the ground and unable to get up.The Taoist thought for a while, and said, "My magic skills are shallow, and I really can't bring the dead back to life."I will point you to someone who may be able to save your husband. If you ask him, there will be a solution.Chen asked: Who is it?The Taoist said: There is a lunatic in the market who often lies in the dung heap.Go and ask him to try it, and don't be angry if he insults you.Erlang also heard about this lunatic, so he bid farewell to the Taoist priest and went with Mrs. Chen.

When I arrived at the market, I saw a crazy beggar singing upside down on the road, dragging a three-foot-long nose, so dirty that no one dared to approach him.Mrs. Chen crawled up to him on her knees, and the lunatic smiled and said, "Does the beauty like me?"After Mrs. Chen explained the reason, the lunatic laughed again and said: Everyone can be a husband, so why do you have to save him?Mrs. Chen begged bitterly, and the lunatic shouted: "How strange!"A person is dead, begging me to save him, am I Lord Hades?Angrily beat Chen with a wooden stick.Mrs. Chen endured the beating, and the people in the market gradually gathered around them like a wall.The lunatic coughed up phlegm, spat out a handful, held it up to Chen's mouth and said, "Eat it!"Chen's face was flushed with embarrassment.Then I thought of the Taoist's instructions, so I had to bite the bullet and eat.Swallowing it into the throat, it felt like a ball of cotton wool, swallowed it murmuringly, and finally got stuck in the chest.The lunatic laughed loudly and said: Beauty likes me!Then he stood up and walked away without looking back.Mrs. Chen followed behind and saw him walking into the temple.Mrs. Chen went in and took a look, but she didn't know where she had gone. She searched carefully back and forth, but there was no trace.Chen went back feeling ashamed and ashamed.After returning home, Mrs. Chen felt sorry for her husband's tragic death, but also regretted the humiliation of swallowing phlegm. She cried so hard that she wanted to die.She wanted to scrub her husband's blood and put his body in a coffin. The family members stood watching from a distance, and no one dared to approach her.Chen hugged her husband's corpse to clean up the intestines, and cried while cleaning up, crying hoarsely.I suddenly wanted to vomit, and felt that the blockage in my chest rushed out violently, and before I could turn around, it had already fallen into my husband's abdominal cavity.Chen was surprised to see that it turned out to be a human heart, beating chug in the abdominal cavity, steaming like smoke.Surprised, Mrs. Chen hurriedly closed her husband's abdomen with both hands, and squeezed her husband's abdomen with all her strength; as soon as she relaxed, hot air came out of the crack.So she tore a piece of silk and tied it up, and stroked the corpse with her hands, feeling gradually warmed up.He put on the quilt again, opened the quilt in the middle of the night, and saw that there was breath in his nose.After dawn, Wang Sheng came back to life. He said to himself: It was like a dream in a trance, and I only felt a little pain in my heart.Looking at the original wound, a scab the size of a copper coin formed, and it will heal soon.

Yi Shi's comment: People in the world are really confused!She is obviously a fairy, but she thinks she is a beautiful woman.Confused people are so easily fascinated!It is clearly a loyal statement, but it is considered nonsense.However, if he is greedy for other people's beauty and does everything possible to take advantage of him, then his wife will eat other people's sputum and think it is delicious.The law of heaven is good at retribution, but it is not easy for people who are confused and confused to awaken. It is really sad! 【original】 Wang Sheng of Taiyuan was traveling early, and met a girl, who ran alone with her arms in her arms, and it was very difficult to walk, so she hurried to take advantage of it, she was Erba Lishu.Heart-to-heart, love and joy, asked: He Suye walked [ㄐㄩ'ju] alone [walking alone]?The woman said: "People who practice the way can't relieve their worries, so why bother to ask."Sheng said: "Why are you worried?"Or it can be effective, don't say no.The woman said dejectedly: "Parents are greedy for bribes, and they buy [ㄩ' jade; sell] concubines and rich families."If you are jealous in the first day, you will be humiliated by Chu in the morning, and you will be far away.Q: Why?Said: For those who are dying, there is no place for them.Shengyan: Our hut is not far away, so we are bothered and in vain.Women like to follow it.The raw generation carries things, guides and returns to the same place.There is no one in the woman's room, and she asks: Why do you have no family?The answer goes: Zhai Er.The woman said: "This place is very good."If you live with pity on your concubine, you must keep secrets.Make a promise.It is combined with sleeping.Make the secret room, and people don't know it after a few days.Sheng Wei sued his wife.His wife, Chen, is suspected to be everyone's concubine [ㄧㄥ'ying] concubine [married concubine], but she refuses to listen to her persuasion.

Occasionally, when I met a Taoist priest in the city, Gu Sheng was stunned.Q: What happened?Answer: None.The Taoist said: "Your body is haunted by evil spirits, how can you say nothing?"Born and white again, the Taoist went, saying: Confused!In the world, there are always those who are about to die and do not realize it!The student is quite suspicious of women because of his different words.Turning to think about how bright and beautiful people are, how can they be demons, and Taoists use nightmares to hide [ㄧㄢ'cover ㄖㄤ穰][1] to hunt predators.No matter what, when you arrive at the gate of Zhaimen, you can't enter the gate. If you suspect that what you have done is beyond the gate, the door of the room will also be closed.I crept along and peeped through the window, and saw a ferocious ghost with a green face and sharp teeth like a saw, spread human skin on the couch, and painted it with a colored pen.After throwing the pen, he lifted the skin like a garment, draped it around his body, and turned into a woman.Seeing this, the beast came out in great fear.Chasing the Taoist priest anxiously, I don't know where he is going.All over the place, if you meet in the wild, you will kneel down and beg for help.The Taoist said: "Please get rid of it. This thing is good and bitter. If you can find a replacement, I can't bear to hurt its life."He was given birth by a fly whisk, and ordered to hang the door of the dormitory.Farewell, date at Qingdi Temple.When I was born and returned, I dared not enter the fast, but the inner room of the dormitory, hanging in the air.At about one o'clock, when I heard the sound of shoveling outside the door, I dared not peep at it, so I asked my wife to peek at it.But when she saw the girl coming, she saw that the whisk didn't dare to enter, she stood upright and gnashed her teeth, and after a long time she went away.When I was young, I came back and scolded: "Taoists scare me, but in the end, I would rather eat it and spit it out!"Take the smashed ones, break the bedroom door and enter, go straight to the raw bed, split the raw belly, and leave with the raw heart.wife number.When the maidservant enters the candle, she is dead and bloody.Chen Haiti didn't dare to speak.

Tomorrow, I will send my younger brother Erlang to report to the Taoist priest.The Taoist said angrily: "I feel pity for him, but the devil dares to listen!"That is, from the birth brother.The woman has disappeared.Then he looked up and looked around, saying: "Fortunately, escape is not far away."Question: Who is the South Campus?Erlang said: "It's what Xiaosheng gives up."The Taoist said: Now the king's house.Erlang was stunned, thinking that there was no such thing.The Taoist asked, "Has there ever been an unknown person coming alone?"The answer is: I went to the Qingdi Temple, but I don't know, so I should ask.Returning after a while, he said: "A woman came in the morning, wanted to be a servant, and operated for the servant's house. The housekeeper stopped it, and she was still there."The Taoist said: It is a thing.Then go together.Standing in the court with a wooden sword, he shouted: "The karma will pay me back with a whisk!"Wife [ㄠ'coat] panicked and colorless in the room, and wanted to escape when she went out, Taoist priests chased her.The servant, the human skin is peeled off, and it turns into a ghost, lying down and howling like a pig.The Taoist is headed by a wooden sword owl.The body turned into thick smoke, and the ground became a pile.The Taoist takes out a gourd, unplugs it, puts it in the smoke, and blows it like an inhalation, and the smoke is exhausted in an instant.The Taoist stuffed his mouth into the bag.Looking at the human skin together, eyebrows, siblings, and everything.Taoist scrolls are like the sound of scrolls, and they are also in the bag, so don't want to go.Mrs. Chen greeted him at the door, crying for the way of returning to life.The Taoist can't thank you.Chen Yi felt sad and fell to the ground.The Taoist meditated and said: I am shallow, and I really can't get up from death.I refer to one person, who may be able to do it, and it will be effective if he seeks it.Q: Why?Said: There are crazy people in the city, sometimes lying in the dung, trying to knock and mourning.Don't be angry if you insult your wife madly.Erlang is also familiar with it. He is a Taoist priest and goes with his sister-in-law.

Seeing a beggar sing on the road, his nose is three feet, and the filth cannot be approached.Chen walked forward on his knees.The beggar smiled and said: "Does the beauty love me?"Chen told the reason.He laughed again and said: What is the purpose of living if you do your best!Chen Gu mourned.Nai said: "It's strange!"People die and beg to live on me, am I Yamaya?Angrily hit Chen with a stick, Chen endured it painfully.City people are gradually crowded.The beggar coughed up phlegm and saliva, raised his hand to Chen and said, "Eat it!"Chen Hong's face swelled, looking distressed; thinking about the Taoist's order, she forced herself to eat it.Feeling into the throat, it is as hard as a ball of flocs, it falls down and stops in the chest.The beggar laughed and said: "The beauty loves me!"So he set off and ignored it.At the end, enter the temple.Seeking it urgently, I don't know where it is, I searched back and forth, but there is no sign of it, and I return with shame and hatred.Not only mourning the misery of her husband's death, but also regretting the shame of spitting, bowing down and crying, hoping to die soon.Fang wanted to spread the blood and collect the corpse, but his family members waited, no one dared to approach him.Chen Baoshi took the intestines, rationalized and cried.Crying extremely hoarsely, wanting to vomit suddenly, I feel the knot in the [ㄍㄜ septum] rushing out, before I can look back, it has already fallen into the cavity.Looking at it in surprise, it is the human heart, which is still jumping in the cavity, and the heat is steaming like smoke.Big difference.Urgently clapping his hands together, trying to hug and squeeze.If you don't slack off, the air will come out from the cracks, and the air will be tied up in a hurry.Caress the corpse with your hands, gradually warm it, and cover it with a quilt.In the middle of the night, I looked up and breathed out.Tianming survived.For the words: trance like a dream, but feel pain in the heart.Look at the broken place, the scabs are like money, look for a cure.

Yi Shi said: Foolish people!It is obviously a monster, but it is beautiful.What a fool!He is obviously loyal, but he thinks it is false.However, if you love someone's color and fish for it, your wife will also be willing to eat someone's saliva.The way of heaven is good, but those who are foolish and deluded do not understand.Sad too!
