Ziya catches five ghosts

It is said that Jiang Ziya borrowed the soil and escaped, left Kunlun Mountain and came to Songjiazhuang, thirty miles outside the south gate of Chaoge.

Jiang Ziya arrived outside Song Yiren's mansion, Ziya saw that the courtyard was still the same, and the green willows were long, Ziya sighed: "I have been away from this for 40 years, but I don't feel that the scenery is still the same, and the face is different. Ziya walked to the door and asked the gatekeeper, "Are you at home outside the house?" The doorman asked, "Who are you?" Ziya said, "You only said that the old man Jiang Ziya visited." Zhuang Tong came to the reporter: "There is an old man Jiang Ziya outside. The stranger was settling accounts, and when he heard Ziya coming, he hurriedly greeted him out of the village, and said: "Brother Xian, why haven't you heard for decades?" Ziya responded: "No, my brother has." The two of them held each other hand in hand, and as for the grass hall, they each bowed and sat down.

Yiren said: "I often long, and I meet again today, fortunately, fortunately!" Ziya said: "Since I don't have a brother, I really hope to be born extraordinary, but I have a shallow fate and I have failed to fulfill my ambition." When I go to Gaozhuang today, I have to meet Brother Ren, which is a blessing for Shang. The stranger hurriedly paid for the food and cleaned up, and asked, "Is it fasting or meat?" Ziya said: "Since you are a monk, how can you drink alcohol and eat meat! Song Yiren said: "The wine is the jade liquid of Yaochi, the elixir of the cave, even the gods also go to the Pan Tao Club, and it doesn't hurt to eat some wine." Ziya said: "Brother Ren sees the teaching, and the younger brother takes the order." The two of them had a drink.

Yiren asked, "How many years has the virtuous brother been in Kunlun?" Ziya said: "I don't feel it for forty years." Yiren sighed again: "Quick, what did the virtuous brother learn in the mountain?" Ziya said: "Why don't you learn, otherwise what will you do?" Yiren asked: "What kind of Taoist skills do you learn?" Ziya said: "Carry water, water pine, plant peaches, burn fires, and fan the furnace for alchemy." Yiren asked again: "Brother Xian has only learned this, haven't you learned the art of catching ghosts and subduing demons?" Ziya replied: "I know a little bit about the art of catching ghosts and subduing demons." After hearing this, Song Yiren got up and bowed to Ziya and said, "I have something to ask for, and I ask the virtuous brother to help." Seeing this, Jiang Ziya said: "Why should my brother be like this, what does my brother need for my younger brother, although it is said that my younger brother will help him." Song Yiren said: "Brother Xian, I have a five-god temple in Songjiazhuang, although the temple is called a five-god temple, but the temple is not dedicated to gods, but to five ghosts. After hearing this, Jiang Ziya asked, "Since it is a ghost, why is it called the Five Gods Temple?" Brother Xian doesn't know, these five ghosts came to Songjiazhuang a year ago, claiming to be gods, making waves in our Songjiazhuang, forcing us to build a temple for them, if someone refuses to pay tribute to them, they will not disturb the people of the six houses, and the heavy will swallow life alive, last night there was a woman, wanted to set fire to the night, and burned the five ghosts and the temple together, but they didn't think that they were found before they set fire, and they were whipped by them hanging on the flagpole, and now they are still hanging on the flagpole" Jiang Ziya was furious after hearing this:" How can this be reasonable, brother, don't worry, I will remove these five scourges now!" Jiang Ziya left the Song Yiren Mansion and came to the Five Gods Temple.

After entering the temple, I saw a young woman scarred and hung on the flag pole, Ziya walked under the pole, put the woman down, and took out a pill from the gourd, fed the woman to take it, and after a while, the woman's injury healed and woke up.

Xiang Ziya asked, "Who are you?" Ziya replied, "Poor Dao was invited by Song Yi to hunt ghosts. Now that you've recovered from your injuries, go home as soon as possible. The woman said, "These five are very powerful, I'd better stay and help you." Jiang Ziya said: "What can you help me, you better go home, so as not to get hurt for a while." The woman said: "I may not be able to help you much, but one more person is better than one person!" Jiang Ziya smiled after hearing this: "Since you refuse to leave, then stay, but listen to me." The woman said, "The little girl will listen to the instructions of the Taoist. When the two of them came to the door of the main hall, they heard the sound of snoring coming from the main hall.

After Jiang Ziya heard this, he poked the window paper with his fingers, and saw through the small hole that inside, there was a lying on the ground sleeping.

Jiang Ziya said to the woman next to him: "You stay here, don't move, I'll go in and catch this." After speaking, Jiang Ziya pushed open the door, entered the main hall, and with lightning speed, he used the gossip clothes to put the into his sleeve.

The woman saw that Ziya caught the with one move, and praised: "The Taoist chief has great powers! It is not difficult to subdue the other four ghosts." Jiang Ziya asked, "Why is there only one in the temple, where do the other four ghosts go?" The woman said: "The other four ghosts went out before, leaving only the to guard the temple." Jiang Ziya took off the peachwood sword on his back and said to you: "You take this peachwood sword now, ambush it outside the temple, and wait until the four ghosts return to the temple, and hang this sword on the gate." The woman took the peachwood sword and left the temple and ambushed on the east side of the temple gate.
