On this day, Sun Yuan, a villager from Anqing Village, returned home from the county seat. He suddenly developed a high fever at night, was talking nonsense, and could not wake up.
Chen Yiwen, Sun Yuan's wife, realized that she was possessed by evil spirits, so she hurriedly put on her clothes and came to see Lin Xiaodong.
When Lin Xiaodong went out, Chen Yiwen said: "Mr. Lin, go and have a look. Our family seems to be possessed by an evil spirit."
Lin Xiaodong hurriedly followed Chen Yiwen to his home and saw Sun Yuan lying on the bed, murmuring and his soul was not there.
Chen Yiwen said anxiously: "Sir, look what's wrong with him. Didn't Doctor Wu in the village say you know how to see it?"
Lin Xiaodong asked Sun Yuan: "Where did he go during the day?"
Chen Yiwen said: "I went to the county town during the day and came back in the afternoon."
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "This is a lost soul. You guard him and I will go out and look for him."
Chen Yiwen then took care of Sun Yuan, while Lin Xiaodong walked back along the road to the county town.
After walking three miles, Lin Xiaodong looked up and saw a red light on the mountain. The real owner was here.
This place is called Yuncao Mountain, and there is a quiet cave halfway up the mountain, where five monsters live: Xiang Cheng, Feng Lu, Yang Xuan, Geng Qineng, and Lu Zhanyuan.
Lin Xiaodong walked up the mountain, saw the monster cave, and shouted: "Where are the monsters causing trouble here?"
Xiang Cheng and the five others heard the sound and rushed out.
Feng Lu asked angrily: "Who disturbs the purity of my cave?"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and said: "Qing Jing? I see you are waiting in the cave and are not idle."
Yang Xuan said: "It turns out that you came here for the man from the village."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Exactly. Why are you holding his soul?"
Geng Qineng said: "Ask yourself what he did!"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The soul is in your hands, how can I ask?"
Xiang Cheng said: "You are a bad villager who defecates on the roadside and doesn't even look where he is?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The ignorant are not guilty. Just because of this, you want to arrest his soul?"
Xiang Cheng said: "We need his family to perform three rituals for us and enshrine the tablets. Otherwise, we will just wait to be wiped out in ashes!"
Lin Xiaodong said angrily: "You are all poor people in the village, how can I have the money to perform three rituals for you in a row?"
Xiang Cheng crossed his arms and looked sideways: "Who told him to pee without looking where he was?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "You release the person, and I will do the rituals for you."
Xiang Cheng and others all laughed: "You? What kind of magic power do you have?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I'm Lin Xiaodong."
Everyone changed their colors: "Are you Lin Xiaodong?"
Xiang Cheng asked: "Did you kill my Taoist brother?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Exactly."
Xiang Cheng gritted his teeth: "Kill!"
Lu Zhanyuan fought out with his sword: "That's Lu Zhanyuan in the Quiet Cave in Yuncao Mountain!"
Lin Xiaodong came to meet him with his sword drawn, but before the fight was over, he knocked the sword out of Lu Zhanyuan's hand.
Lu Zhanyuan withdrew empty-handed.
Geng Qineng raised his sword and stepped forward: "So is Geng Qineng in the Silent Cave!"
Lin Xiaodong met Geng Qineng with his sword. After ten rounds of fighting, he put his sword at Geng Qineng's throat.
Geng Qineng looked down, raised his hands and moved away.
Yang Xuan came out and said, "Yang Xuan is the one in the Silent Cave!" He was fighting with Lin Xiaodong.
The two fought for more than ten years, and Lin Xiaodong stabbed Yang Xuan in the arm. Yang Xuan felt pain and sheathed his sword and walked away.
Feng Luzong stepped forward and said, "Lin Xiaodong, who are you, who came to Gaoliang County to carry out a killing spree?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I came to you from another world to lead all living beings to a good place."
Feng Lu was very disdainful: "Just you?" He struck with a sword.
Lin Xiaodong parried with the sword in his hand, and after twenty rounds of fighting, the back of the sword slapped Feng Lu on the heart, and with a muffled sound, he turned around and left.
Xiang Cheng's Rou Hong Sword was unsheathed and he came to fight: "I, Xiang Cheng, from the Quiet Cave, want to meet you!"
Lin Xiaodong handed the sword back to the other side. After thirty rounds of fighting, he did not lose.
Xiang Cheng couldn't defeat Lin Xiaodong and was shocked. He jumped out of the ring and asked with a glare: "Who are you?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "What Lin said just now is absolutely not half false."
Xiang Cheng heard this and asked, "Young master, with such ability, can you possibly save us to a good place?"
Lin Xiaodong's heart sword stabbed into the void, and a world of precious flames and bright lights appeared: "Would you like to be born here?"
Xiang Cheng and others looked at each other in a daze, and then they looked at each other and said, "We are willing."
Lin Xiaodong closed his eyes and nodded, and the light between his brows expanded. Xiang Cheng, Feng Lu, Yang Xuan, Geng Qineng, and Lu Zhanyuan all sat on the lotus throne and entered the world of precious flames and bright lamps.
Lin Xiaodong captured Sun Yuan's soul and returned it to his home, where he woke up immediately.
Chen Yiwen threw herself at Sun Yuan: "You finally woke up, you scared me to death..."
Sun Yuan stood up and said, "Thank you so much, Sir, for saving my life."
Lin Xiaodong said: "In the future, when you relieve yourself on the road, you must look carefully at the place."
Sun Yuan nodded: "I'll know later."
Lin Xiaodong then took his leave.
There was a scholar named Ding Gongchuan in Anqing Village, who was determined to gain fame and made a living by herding sheep.
That afternoon, Ding Gongchuan was grazing sheep by the river, leaning under a tree and reading a book.
The sun was setting in the west and the light was warm. Ding Gongchuan yawned and suddenly had a dream.
He saw a woman in a white dress standing by the river, smiling at him.
Ding Gongchuan's heart was filled with excitement, and he bowed his hands: "I dare to ask the girl her name. It seems that she is not from the village."
The woman bowed and said, "My little girl, Bai Qingxin, lives in Xiaodongshan."
Ding Gongchuan bowed again: "I'm going to live in Anqing Village in Ding Gongchuan."
Bai Qingxin looked at the book in Ding Gongchuan's hand: "Young Master is working very hard. He is still studying when shepherding sheep."
Ding Gongchuan said: "My family is poor and I make a living by herding sheep. I study while herding sheep."
Bai Qing thought: "Little girls have always admired scholars."
Ding Gongchuan asked: "Why did the girl come here?"
Bai Qing thought to himself: "I came along the river and didn't want to disturb the young master."
Seeing her like this, Ding Gongchuan asked boldly: "May I ask the girl if she has a match?"
Bai Qingxin lowered her head and said coquettishly: "Xiaodongshan is sparsely populated and there are no marriages."
Then he hesitated and asked: "I wonder, young master, are you married?"
Ding Gongchuan shook his head and sighed: "Hey, my family is poor and no matchmaker comes to my door."
Bai Qingxin picked up the corner of his clothes: "Then, wouldn't it be just right for me and the young master..."
Ding Gongchuan's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that such a good thing happened to him: "This..."
Bai Qingxin looked up and said, "Master, if you don't dislike me, I will come back here tonight."
Of course Ding Gongchuan agreed, and Bai Qingxin disappeared as soon as he flicked his sleeves.
Ding Gongchuan kicked his legs and woke up, only to realize that it was Huang Liang's dream, and he was doubtful.
That night, the silver moon rose in the east, and Ding Gongchuan came to the river without any intention of writing.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, no one came. Ding Gongchuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and was about to go back, but he heard a female voice call: "Master?"
Ding Gongchuan looked back and was overjoyed to see that it was actually Bai Qingxin: "I thought you weren't coming."
Bai Qing said in his heart: "Master, come with me." Without any explanation, he took Ding Gongchuan's hand.
Ding Gongchuan felt that the trees on both sides fell back very quickly, and he no longer knew the way. Bai Qingxin pulled Ding Gongchuan, turned left and right, and walked for about an hour before stopping. He had reached an unknown deep mountain.
In Laolin, there is a cave on the slope with the words "Jingcheng Cave" written on it.
