One year, the universities in Hangzhou were about to take exams.

Before the exam, many junior students (referring to students who are provided with food, accommodation and subsidies by government departments) gathered together in Minglun Hall to vouch for those students who have not yet obtained the qualifications of junior students or have not yet passed the scholar examination. This is called "Guarantee the knot".

One day, Cheng, a junior student involved in the matter, got up before dawn, got dressed, put on his hat, and prepared to go to Minglun Hall.

He went out and walked for about two or three miles, then suddenly turned around and walked back home.

After arriving home, he closed the door and muttered something as if he was talking to someone.

The family felt very strange, but did not dare to ask what happened.

After a while, Cheng opened the door again and went out again.

I went out this time and didn't come back for a long time.

After some time, someone came to look for Cheng at home.

After asking the family members, they found out that the visitor was Tong Sheng from Minglun Hall, who was sponsored by Cheng.

It was originally agreed that Cheng would go to "guarantee the knot" for him that morning, but he still didn't arrive. So I came to see if Cheng was delayed by anything.

The Cheng family members were very surprised: Where has Cheng gone?

They could only tell the boy that Cheng had gone out early and said he had gone to Minglun Hall.

When everyone was wondering where Cheng had gone, a cooper outside the door helped Cheng and sent him home.

Everyone turned their attention to Cheng.

I saw that Cheng was soaked from head to toe, and his face was dirty and covered with mud.

His eyes were staring straight ahead, and he didn't speak.

The family members hurriedly came forward, washed his face and put on clean clothes.

During this process, Cheng was like a puppet, letting his family do whatever they wanted without saying a word.

The experienced old man at home knew that he had encountered some kind of ghost on the road and had been possessed.

He quickly ordered him to drink ginger juice, and then painted his forehead and temples with cinnabar.

After dealing with it like this, Cheng finally came to his senses!

Cheng regained his composure and looked at his family. Under their doubtful gazes, he recounted his experiences.

In the morning, Cheng went out from home for the first time. He didn't go far when he met a man in black on the road.

The man in black bowed to him. Cheng did not know him. When he saw others saluting, he also returned the salute.

But for some reason, suddenly, as if some spell had been cast on him, I felt that my mind went blank, and I followed the man in black in a daze.

On the way, the man in black said to Cheng: "You go home and pack your luggage, and I will take you to the Narcissus Palace for a visit. How about that?"

Cheng said vaguely: "Okay!"

So, Cheng took the man in black back home.

Then at the instruction of the man in black, he hung the house key on his waist, and then walked out of the house with the man in black.

This is why Cheng went out for a while in the morning, then returned home, and then went out again after not staying at home for long.

Cheng followed the man in black from Yongjin Gate until he came to the West Lake.

I only saw a palace on the water of West Lake, which was magnificent and magnificent.

He also saw from a distance that there were many beauties inside, wearing gorgeous clothes and makeup, singing and dancing to their heart's content.

The man in black pointed to the palace on the water and said to Cheng: "This is the Narcissus Palace I told you! Tell me, watching beauties singing and dancing here, and going to Minglun Hall to vouch for those children, where can I go? Make you happier?"

Cheng said: "Does that need to be said? Of course I am happier here!"

After saying that, he walked towards the West Lake as if possessed by a man possessed.

At this critical moment, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared behind him and shouted: "You can't go down! This is an evil spirit tempting you! Don't go down!"

Cheng turned his head and took a closer look. The white-haired old man turned out to be his father who had been dead for many years!

When the man in black saw someone blocking him, he saw that his good deeds were going to be ruined. He suddenly became furious and rushed over to beat the white-haired old man.

After all, the white-haired old man, Cheng's deceased father, was old and could not compare to the youth and strength of the man in black. Just when he was about to lose, the cooper happened to come over.

Cheng suddenly felt like a hot wind blowing onto the surface of the West Lake.

The man in black seemed unable to bear the hot wind and ran away immediately.

And the Narcissus Hall and the white-haired old man also disappeared!

The Cheng family heard Cheng say that it was the cooper who saved him. He quickly went to take out the silver, thanked the cooper, and asked in detail about the rescue.

The barrel maker said: "This morning, a family named Yang in Yongjinmen asked me to go over and make barrels.

When I used to work, I walked by the West Lake.

The sun was already high in the sky and the weather was very hot. Suddenly I saw an umbrella falling on the ground by the lake, and I wanted to pick it up to protect myself from the sun.

As soon as I walked to the umbrella, I heard a rustling sound in the water, and I knew someone had fallen into the water.

I rushed over and rescued the man who fell into the water.

Later I found out that that person was your husband-in-law. He had already sunk into the water at that time, and it took a lot of effort for me to pull the handle up to the shore.

Fortunately, he still knows where home is. I sent him back. "

Everyone was sighing! Everyone suddenly realized: Cheng was tempted by the drowning ghost and almost walked into the West Lake and drowned!

Cheng's wife said bitterly: "Humans are ghosts who are not dead; ghosts are dead people! People will not force ghosts to be human beings, but ghosts always like to force people to be ghosts! Why is this?" "

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer her!

At this time, I suddenly heard a voice in the sky replying: "I was also a junior student during my lifetime! I was also a scholar! The book said: 'A benevolent man: If you want to establish yourself, you can establish others; if you want to achieve yourself, you can achieve others!

(It means: a benevolent person, if he wants to stand up, he will also let others stand up; if he wants to be enlightened, he will also let others be enlightened! This is the "benevolence" point of view of Confucianism. But the benevolence of "giving to others" Your heart must be built on the premise that you are capable! How can you help others if you can’t stand firm yourself?!). ‘

According to the logic in the book: We have become ghosts, can we say this: "If you want to drown, you will drown others, if you want to hang yourself, you will hang others"!

In other words, you want to drown, so you let others drown; you want to hang yourself, so you let others hang yourself!

Looking at it this way, what’s not possible? ! "

After saying that, he burst out laughing! That laughter floats farther and farther in the sky...
