Collection of strange powers and chaotic gods

Chen Shengtao, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, was a poor widowed scholar. He has a son who has grown up. After getting married, they live separately.

Chen Shengtao was alone and had no family, so he wandered around without worries.

This year, he came to Yangzhou for fun. I had no money to rent a house, so I borrowed money to live in a small temple next to Tianning Temple.

When the monks in the temple saw that he was in poverty and looked like a poor scholar, they naturally had no good feelings towards him and treated him very poorly.

Chen Shengtao knew his situation. As long as he could have food and shelter, he didn't care about anything.

One day, he saw a small building in the temple, which was locked tightly and no one was allowed to go up.

Just ask the monks why.

The monk said: "There are monsters in that building! That's why it's locked and no one is allowed to go up there."

Chen Shengtao felt very curious, so he shamelessly pestered the monk to go in and see if there were any monsters.

The monks were so entangled by him that they had no choice but to open the door and let him in.

When Chen Shengtao went in and took a look, he saw that the desk was clean without any dust. It didn't look like it had been unoccupied for a long time.

There are also things for women such as mirror combs, rouge and gouache.

Chen Shengtao looked at it and became suspicious. He thought it might be the monks who hid their beauty in the golden room, so they usually locked it to prevent anyone from entering.

Chen Shengtao felt that he was living under someone else's roof, and even if he saw through it, he wouldn't say anything. So, he went downstairs silently without saying anything.

A few days later, Chen Shengtao accidentally saw a beautiful woman upstairs in the small building, looking down from the window upstairs. He also looked over boldly.

When the beautiful woman saw Chen Shengtao, she jumped down from the upstairs and went straight to his residence.

Chen Shengtao was horrified when he saw this, and then he believed the monk's words that there were really monsters in that building. And this beautiful woman can jump down from the building easily, so you know she is definitely not human.

Seeing Chen Shengtao's frightened look, the beautiful woman smiled and said to him: "I am a god, not a monster! Don't be afraid. I have a long-term relationship with you, so I came to meet you."

The beautiful woman waved her hand, and a table full of good wine and food appeared out of thin air, and she entertained Chen Shengtao to eat and drink.

He did not leave at night and took the initiative to sleep in the same bed with Chen Shengtao.

After going back and forth like this, the two actually became a couple, eating and sleeping together every day.

But on the first day of every month, the beautiful woman would ask Chen Shengtao for leave to go out, and every time she would go out for seven days before coming back on time.

Chen Shengtao felt strange and asked her what she was doing out there.

The beautiful woman said: "From the first to the seventh day of every month, I am ordered to go to Empress Taishan to serve."

Chen Shengtao naturally couldn't stop him.

Once, while the woman was leaving, he secretly opened her box and saw that it was full of gold, silver and jewelry.

Although Chen Shengtao was surprised, he did not touch her in the slightest. He locked the box for the beautiful woman without leaving any seal.

After the beautiful woman came back, Chen Shengtao said to her, "I'm really scared of poverty! I know that my wife has a lot of money. Can you lend me some capital and let me start a small business?"

The woman said: "My husband's horoscope is poor and he is not born to be rich. Even if I give you money to do business, I won't make much profit."

However, my husband has good conduct and high moral standards. Although he opened my box privately, he was not greedy for money and took no money from me. This alone is enough for me to respect you! From now on, you don’t have to worry about your husband’s food, clothing, housing and transportation, I will take care of everything! "

From then on, Chen Shengtao lived a good life, with clothes to put out his hands and food to open his mouth. All household expenses and even housework are taken care of by the woman.

After more than a year like this, the beautiful woman said to Chen Shengtao: "I have spent the money I saved and donated an official position as a general judge (not in order, directly taking office) for my husband. When the time comes, I will go to the capital to study. After submitting your application, you can choose a good place to take up your appointment.

I request to go to the capital first, purchase real estate, recruit servants, arrange everything, and wait for the arrival of my husband. "

Chen Shengtao said: "After my wife leaves, when I arrive in the capital, where should I find you?"

The beautiful woman said: "Husband, just don't worry. When you arrive in the capital, go directly to Zhangyimen, and I will send someone to pick you up!"

Chen Shengtao listened to the woman's words. Two months after she left, he estimated that she had settled there and left for Beijing.

Not one day later, he arrived in the capital. Following the beautiful woman's instructions, he went directly to Changui Gate.

Once we got there, there was indeed an old servant waiting there. After seeing him, he immediately knelt down and said, "Master is late! I have been ordered to pick you up! Madam has been waiting in the house for a long time!"

After the old servant finished speaking, he got up and led Chen Shengtao to Mishi Hutong.

What he saw in front of him was a gorgeous and noble high-walled courtyard. Dozens of maids and slaves were on both sides of the road, kneeling to greet Chen Shengtao.

It's just that they all seem to know him. It doesn't look like they are meeting him for the first time, but like they have served him for a long time.

Chen Shengtao didn't know what was going on, so he entered the lobby confused and confused. The beautiful woman dressed in rich clothes came out to greet him.

After seeing him, she took his hand affectionately and entered the room with him.

When Chen Shengtao saw that they were the only two people left in the room, he curiously asked the woman, "It's my first time here. Why do I feel like these maids and slaves all know me?"

The woman whispered: "Husband, don't make any noise. In order to let everyone know your husband as soon as possible, I transformed into my husband's appearance and went to the Yamen to donate my position.

Later, he transformed into a husband and went to buy real estate and sign contracts. When the maids and slaves at home come to apply for jobs, the concubines are also recruited in the form of their husbands, so they all know their husbands. "

Then, he quietly pointed out these maids and servants to Chen Shengtao one by one, and told him: "What is this surname, what is the name of that one. If you want to call them out, your husband must do what I tell them, so as not to make them suspicious." .”

Chen Shengtao was very happy. After settling down, while chatting with the woman, he mentioned that he had a son in his hometown of Shaoxing who was already married. I have been away from home for a long time and I miss you very much.

The woman was reasonable and said that in this case, why not ask them to come to the capital together so that the family could be reunited.

Chen Shengtao wrote a letter home to his son and asked him to come to the capital.

The next year, Chen Shengtao's son Chen came to his home in Beijing. When he learned that his father had remarried his stepmother, he respectfully entered his room to pay his respects.

The woman was very loving and treated Chen as her own son, and Chen was also very filial to the woman, befitting a mother.

The woman said: "I heard that the child is married. Why didn't your wife come with you? If she comes, we can go to the place where your father works next year."

Chen was embarrassed to say that because his family was not rich and could only afford to travel to the capital alone, he had no choice but to leave his wife in his hometown.

When the woman heard that this was the reason, she immediately gave him the carriage fare and asked him to go back to his hometown and take his wife to the capital. The family lived happily together.

One day, a young man came outside their door and asked to see him.

Chen Shengtao didn't recognize him, so he asked him who he was.

The boy replied: "My mother lives here. I came here to find my mother!"

Chen Shengtao quickly ran to ask the woman.

The woman said, "Yes, it's my son. I asked him to come over. He was born to me and my ex-husband."

After saying that, he called the young man into the house to meet Chen Shengtao, and asked him to meet Chen Shengtao's son, and asked him to call Chen his elder brother.

After some days, it was the first day of the month, and the woman's holiday came. As usual, she went out.

That day, Chen also went out and was not at home. Chen's wife, Wang, was dressing up alone in her room.

The young man happened to pass by the window and saw that his sister-in-law was quite pretty, and he immediately became very lustful.

So he opened the window, jumped in, hugged Mrs. Wang and wanted to ask for sex.

Wang firmly disagreed.

The young man wanted to be strong, so he took off his pants, exposed his lower body, and pounced on Wang.

Wang was frightened and sick, and shouted for help.

Seeing this, the young man felt frightened and ran away in a hurry.

Wang quickly arranged the messed up clothes on her body, only to realize that her skirt had been torn by him.

Chen came back drunk at night. When he entered the house and saw his wife looking strange, he asked her what happened.

Wang told Chen what happened during the day.

When Chen learned what had happened, he became furious, pulled out the knife on the table, and rushed to the boy's room under the influence of alcohol.

At this time, the boy was already asleep. Chen was so angry that he slashed at the bed with a knife.

After cutting for a while, Chen saw that there was no movement on the bed, so he went to get a candle and lit it on the bed. I saw a fox on the bed, with its head cut off and dead of breath.

Chen was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He immediately woke up from the wine. He quickly dropped the knife and ran to tell his father.

When Chen Shengtao learned about this, he was shocked.

He was afraid that if the woman came back after her leave was over and found out that her son had been killed, she would definitely take his own life for his son.

Therefore, Chen Shengtao stopped serving as an official and fled the capital overnight with his son and daughter-in-law, all the way back to Shaoxing.

It's a pity that Chen Shengtao originally had a good marriage with the Fox Fairy, but in the end he didn't earn a penny. He returned to the past overnight and still lived the same poor life as before.

This really echoes what the Fox Fairy said: Chen Shengtao was born to be poor!
