Chapter 32: "The Ancient Cage Fire"
An old farmer finally finished his work in the field before nightfall. So he hurriedly took the tools for doing farm work and rushed home......
And just as he was on his way home, he suddenly saw clusters of blue fire, the flames flickering and jumping, and gradually flying closer. If you look closely, what looms in the flames is a human face.
This fire, the ancient cage fire, is made by ghosts or spirits possessing old lanterns. It does not require fuel, glows naturally in the dark, and is often found on mountain trails without harming humans.
Although the ancient cage fire will not harm humans, it likes to play tricks on humans, likes to scare humans, and runs around in panic......
And when the old farmer met the ancient cage fire, his frightened legs trembled, and he said tremblingly: "Ghost ...... What the hell."
Then he used all his strength to turn around and run...... But in front of the old peasant, there was a black figure with his back to him.
The old peasant cautiously stepped forward and said to the figure, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Run! There are ghosts"! The old peasant stomped his feet in fear.
But the black figure suddenly turned to the old peasant and said, "Hell, isn't this the case?" Then the black shadow quickly turned into the turquoise flame just now, and in the flame, there was a terrifying and hideous grimace, looking at the old farmer with a fierce face, and then pounced on the old farmer......
"Ah......h With a scream, the old farmer was frightened by the ancient cage fire and fainted.
"Humph! Coward, just like that, I was scared and fainted, and it wasn't fun......". The ancient cage fire looked at it, and the old farmer who fainted said with a look that he hadn't had enough fun floating in the air.
"Gu Cage Fire, it's enough for you to scare people out. Don't...... You can't do it if you want to harm people's lives." At this time, the little monk Yuandu slowly walked out from the darkness.
"Who are you"? The ancient cage fire was in mid-air, floating and asked.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that you don't play pranks like this in the future, in case you scare others to death, you will be guilty. Amitabha Buddha ......," the little monk said, clasping his hands.
"Cut...... It's really not interesting". The ancient cage fire said disdainfully, and then drifted away into the distance......
And after the little monk saw the ancient cage fire leave, he woke up the old farmer who had passed out in a coma.
The old farmer slowly opened his eyes and saw the little monk in front of him. Thinking that it was changed by a ghost again, he screamed in fright.
It took the little monk a long time to explain it to the old farmer. He was not a ghost, he was a parade monk who happened to pass by here and found him fainting...... Then he slowly quieted down the old farmer and sent the panicked old farmer home......
