Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

In the early years of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhenfan (Zhenfan is an ancient place name, now Minqin County, under the jurisdiction of Zhangye City, Gansu Province.) There was a Taixueshi named Li (Taixue was the highest institution of learning in ancient times. This Taixueshi It is equivalent to the current academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.).

This bachelor, Mr. Li, had a wife and a concubine at home. His wife was extremely jealous. Seeing that the concubine was beautiful and smart, she was afraid that she would fall out of favor with her husband, so she often abused her.

Swayed by jealousy, Li's wife went too far. Whenever he sees that concubine, he gets angry for no reason.

And when she got angry, she would ask someone to strip off the concubine's lower body and whip her buttocks with a whip.

Li's wife would do this as long as Bachelor Li was not around. Therefore, the poor concubine hardly ever went a day without being beaten.

She didn't dare to complain to Bachelor Li's wife yet. Once Li's wife found out, she would be whipped even more severely.

There is an old woman in the local area who is said to be able to come and go freely between the Yin and Yang realms, which is what people often call "Wu Chang" (an old superstitious saying that a living person can go to the underworld to work on errands, and then return to the underworld after completing the work) The human world. "Walking in impermanence" is a supernatural phenomenon, that is, people in the underworld who use the souls of living people to do things for the underworld).

The old woman usually moved around a lot and had some friendship with Bachelor Li's wife. Seeing her torturing the concubine like this, she persuaded her:

"My wife and this concubine have a long-standing grudge from the past life. The hatred is not very big, but she should repay you two hundred lashes.

Your jealousy is so strong now that you have whipped her more than ten times. In this way, you are in debt to her again.

What's more, if a good woman is punished for making a mistake, even according to the government's laws, she is not allowed to take off her clothes. "

Li's wife sneered: "I just want to treat her like this, what can you do to me?"

The old woman sighed and said: "My wife doesn't know something. If you insist on humiliating her naked and go too far, you will have violated the taboos of ghosts and gods, and you will be punished!"

My wife and I have always had a close friendship. When I was in the underworld, I saw a book recording things like this, so I feel it is necessary to let you know these things. "

Li's wife said disapprovingly: "Old lady, don't talk nonsense. By saying this, do you want me to pray to eliminate disasters so that you can make money, right?"

When the old woman saw what she said, she couldn't help being a little angry. She shook her head and sighed: "I've told you everything I should say and shouldn't say. It's up to you whether you listen or not! You can do it yourself!"

After speaking, he walked away.

Soon after, when Lord Moro, the military envoy (an important military position, higher than the governor), was guarding Zhenfan, he encountered Wang Fuchen (a warlord in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a native of Datong, Shanxi. This man rebelled ten times in his life, and finally drank He committed suicide by drinking poison.) He raised an army to rebel, and there was chaos everywhere. Scholar Li Tai died in the rebellion, and his family members were scattered to escape the disaster.

The concubine of Bachelor Li Tai was captured by a lieutenant named Han in the army on the way to escape.

When Vice General Han saw that she was not only beautiful but also very smart, he took her into his room and doted on her very much.

Vice General Han did not have a wife in his family, and gradually the power of the housekeeping came to be controlled by his concubine.

Besides, Bachelor Li’s wife was not so lucky.

During the war, Li's wife was first snatched away by the rebels and made the concubine of a small leader.

Later, after the rebels were defeated by the government troops, the little leader died in battle, and Li's wife was captured by the government troops.

After the war, the officers and soldiers rewarded each other based on their merits, and the captured prisoners were also rewarded among the soldiers. Li's wife happened to be given to Lieutenant General Han.

Lieutenant General Han didn't know that Li's wife was the first wife of Bachelor Li Tai. He thought she was a woman in the rebel army and had no good impression of her, so he took her home and gave her to the concubine.

When the concubine saw it, she was secretly happy, feeling that her chance for revenge had come. It was impossible for her to be the woman of Lieutenant General Han, and it was more like letting her be a slave at home.

So, the concubine asked Li's wife to kneel in front of the hall and said to her: "If you are willing to obey my command, after getting up every morning, kneel in front of my dressing table, take off your clothes, lie on the ground, and let I'll give you five lashes and then go back to doing housework, and I'll spare your life.

Otherwise, you are now the wife of a rebel, and I will kill you without any taboo! And I won’t let you die happily. I will cut off your flesh inch by inch and feed it to pigs and dogs! "

Li's wife was afraid of death and knew that her concubine would definitely do it if she said it. She didn't care about her integrity and dignity, so she immediately kowtowed to express her willingness to obey her order.

The concubine didn't want Li's wife to die immediately. Every time she whipped her, the force was not harsh, just to let her know the pain and endure the humiliation for a long time.

More than a year later, Li's wife gave birth to a son and died of other illnesses.

Calculating the number of whippings she received during her lifetime was exactly equal to the number of whippings she owed the concubine.

Speaking of which, this woman is really stupid and shameless!

Someone kindly reminded her that she didn't want to repent, so she was hated by ghosts and gods, so the underworld seduced her soul.

After Vice General Han learned the truth about this matter, he did not blame the concubine, nor did he hide it himself. He often used it as an example to illustrate that everything has its consequences!

So people can know the causes and consequences between wives and concubines.

Vice General Han also talked about an incident he had personally experienced, which he felt was somewhat similar to the situation between the wife and concubine, as if the two parties had swapped identities and statuses.

It was in the last years of the Ming Dynasty. Vice General Han once traveled in Xiangyang and Dengzhou, and stayed in the same inn with a Taoist named Zhang Yuanhu.

Zhang Yuanhu felt aggrieved when he knew that the innkeeper's wife had abused the owner's concubine, and privately said to Vice General Han: "That woman is so vicious! I want to punish her!"

Vice General Han said: "I also think she is going too far. What can you do?"

Zhang Yuanhu said: "We Taoists have a magic called the 'Borrowing of Forms', which allows you to borrow the body of others."

Vice General Han was confused when he heard this, not knowing what kind of magical spell it was.

Zhang Yuanhu smiled and continued: "When a person is cultivating, he finds that his energy and blood have declined before he succeeds, and he cannot continue to cultivate to achieve enlightenment.

At this time, he can find a young, strong body with strong qi and blood, and swap with him while he is asleep, and this person can continue to practice.

I have learned this spell before, so let me try to punish that evil wife. "

Vice General Han was very curious and encouraged him to perform the spell quickly.

The next day, the owner of the inn suddenly heard his wife talking in his concubine's room, while his concubine was talking in his wife's room.

When they each walked out of the room, everyone was surprised to find that the wife was still the wife's body, but the voice she spoke belonged to the concubine, but when the concubine opened her mouth, it was the wife's voice.

The concubine got the wife's body and just sat silently, but the wife was unwilling to be replaced by the concubine's body.

Everyone disturbed and argued endlessly, and called relatives, friends and tribesmen. No one could judge, and finally the matter went to the government.

The official believed that this incident was weird and absurd and should not be reported to the official. So he became angry and whipped the innkeeper and kicked him out of the government office.

Everyone was helpless.

If judging from the physical appearance, the person with the wife's body is actually a concubine, she would not have the status of a head wife, so she would not be able to display her prestige and abuse the wife with the body of a concubine.

In the end, there was no choice but to live in separate houses with the wife and concubines, without any contact with each other until they died of old age!
