The Strange Stories of Summoned Beasts: Yan Ruyu’s Love, Hate and Revenge

There is a scholar in Junchang County, Hedong Province. His parents died when he was young. He is a good book and reads diligently day and night. When he was young, he rushed to take exams and failed several times. When he was about thirty years old, he was destitute and had only a pile of books. The neighbor tried to persuade the scholar, but he was unmoved and firmly believed: There is a house of gold in the book, and there is a beauty like jade in the book.

After that, he stayed behind closed doors and spent his days reading. The bookcase had been infested with beetles for a long time, and one day it suddenly collapsed. The golden lamp was hidden in the book. The scholar was overjoyed: The ancients sincerely did not deceive me.

Since he got Jinzhan, the scholar has been studying hard. Although he still failed, he never tired of it. One night, the scholar was reading by candlelight. He was sleepy and sleepy when he heard a woman whispering softly. He suddenly woke up and saw the words in the book fluttering and flying out of the paper like green smoke curling around. The scholar was shocked, fell to the ground, bowed his head, thinking he was a ghost. The green smoke condensed but never dispersed, but a beautiful woman walked out of it, with cloud sleeves and a water skirt, with a full hand, black hair and dimples, and skin like condensed snow.

When the scholar saw the woman walking out of the book, he quickly raised his hands and asked: "I don't know who the fairy is. It's really rude for me to be a young lady." ?

The woman smiled and said: "My little girl calls herself Yan Ruyu. She saw Liu Lang looking at each other day and night and couldn't put it down for the book, so I came to tell you about it." ?After saying this, he suddenly became powerless and fell into the scholar's arms. The scholar had never had skin-to-skin contact with a woman. The fragrance was refreshing, and his eyes and ears were filled with flowers. He felt as if he was lying on a cloud, and he was in a trance, as if his soul had left his body.

The scholar fell in love with Yan Ruyu, and they stayed together day and night. The scholar read, accompanied by the beautiful woman, cooking porridge, tea and wild vegetables, which was also a lot of fun.

As time went by, it became difficult to hide her. The neighbors thought it was strange that the scholar had a girl in his family. They thought the scholar had abducted her from the mountains and reported her to the official. The officials searched the house but found no one there. They immediately warned the scholar and the neighbors were unwilling to leave. After they left, the book in the scholar's hand suddenly emitted smoke, and Yan Ruyu walked out of the book with a smile again.

This Junchang County, between Chang'an and Luoyang, is still quite prosperous, but the good times do not last long. I heard from the knights passing by that there are riots in the heaven, the battle between demons and immortals, and the beginning of the feast of killing gods. No matter what time of day, there are dark clouds overhead, and bursts of blood seep out from the gaps. Several statues of gods enshrined in the Dongtou Temple in the county were inexplicably broken into pieces. Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest guarding the temple ran away without packing anything. The people in the county wanted to follow, but it was difficult for them to abandon their property and run for their lives based on some visions.

Ten days later, the dark clouds overhead became even lower, and occasionally you could see broken limbs falling from the sky. Many people were so frightened that they stayed at home and did not dare to go out. That night, everyone could only hear buzzing sounds, the ground shaking crazily, and bottomless cracks spreading from a distance. Countless demons and ghosts rushed out from the cracks, creating a hell. Those monsters and monsters ransacked the entire town, leaving ruins in ruins and rivers of blood. Only the scholar escaped. He obeyed Yan Ruyu, hid in the barrel, and floated away with the water. However, the monsters in the river seemed unable to see him and allowed him to flow eastward.

A few days later, the scholar came to the gate of Luoyang City and saw that the gate was heavily guarded. The refugees entered Luoyang one by one after being interrogated at the gate. In troubled times, nothing can give people a greater sense of security than the city wall. Yes. After entering Luoyang City, I found that the knights on the street were all in a hurry and the shops were all closed. Finally finding a tavern, the scholar got in.

?You don’t know that that night when demons attacked Luoyang City, it was really on the stage. The storyteller was talking endlessly about the demon disasters in the previous days, saying that Luoyang City was also attacked. However, there were many knights in Luoyang, and capable men and strangers could be seen everywhere, so they managed to fight back the monster. Hearing this, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief.

?Alas, Liu Lang, things are not that simple. ?Suddenly, Yan Ruyu's voice came from his arms. The scholar touched his wallet, calculated his money, and asked the waiter for a room.

After closing the door, the scholar looked back and saw Yan Ruyu sitting at the table, and couldn't help but ask: "What did Yu'er mean just now?"

"Although this city of Luoyang has arrived." After this demon disaster, more demons with advanced cultivation levels will soon come to massacre the city. The demons and immortals in the sky are causing chaos, and this world can no longer take care of it. Liu Lang will rest in Luoyang for two days and leave the city as soon as possible. Yan Ruyu sighed: "I'm afraid I won't be able to show up these days. Liu Lang also saw that there are many powerful people in Luoyang City. If I show up, I'm afraid it will bring disaster." Liu Lang walked west from Luoyang, all the way to the west, and there must be no deviation. ?

The scholar had just rested for a day in Luoyang when he heard a sudden noise outside the tavern. Leaning out the window, you can see that there are monsters densely packed under the black clouds. After a while, the city was full of lights, and knights with magical powers began to prepare for defense on the walls of Luoyang.

The scholar closed the window and hid in the corner, listening to the rumbling explosions outside, not even daring to open his eyes. I don’t know how long it lasted, but the scholar actually fell asleep in the corner. When I woke up again, I found that the loud explosion outside had disappeared. I looked around quietly and saw that there were still fires burning in many places on the street, but there was no one on the street. The scholar went out and saw the hotel owner with a sad face at the counter, so he asked what happened.

The boss said that the monster fought fiercely with the knights from all over the place who came to help, and all kinds of spells were flying all over the sky. In the end, the monster retreated, but the knights also suffered many casualties. Now everyone is in the hospital. The people were ordered to stay at home and not go out to cause trouble.

?Young man, you'd better go back to the guest room. It's not safe outside now. ?The hotel owner sighed and went to the backyard.

The scholar quietly carried his book and headed towards the west gate of Luoyang. The originally majestic and tall West Gate no longer existed, and only piles of rubble were left scattered on the ground. The scholar carefully stepped over the stones, left Luoyang, and headed west. As he walked, he saw trees lying on the ground in a mess in front of him. The scholar took a breath of cold air. On the ground in front of him, there was a bottomless ravine blocking the road. It was like a sword light descending from the sky, cutting off the earth. Split into two halves. The scholar was at a loss what to do, but Yan Ruyu didn't answer her call, so she walked towards the north with a cruel heart.

Unknown to him about this turn, he walked into the crowd of monsters. Before he had gone ten miles, he saw a monster wandering in the forest in front of him. It had fangs and red eyes, which made the scholar's legs tremble with fear. The demon spotted the scholar and rushed up with a howl. The scholar sat down on the ground and tried to move back, but he was not as fast as the demon. Seeing that the bloody mouth was about to bite off the scholar's head, a spark suddenly burst out from his arms. The spark lightly hit the demon and burned it to ashes in an instant. When other demons saw this scene, they couldn't help but stop.

The scholar had already fainted from fright. A book jumped out of his arms, and he flipped through it in the wind. Yan Ruyu walked out of the book.

?You little monsters who don’t practice diligently and just like to get involved in trivial matters in this world should be punished!? After Yan Ruyu said that, he held up a lantern out of thin air, his clothes turned red, and countless sparks jumped out of the air. , and in a blink of an eye, the entire mountain forest was covered with red flames?

When the scholar woke up, he was surprised to find that everything around him had disappeared, leaving only the bare crystalline ground. Touching the book in his arms, the scholar stood up with a confused expression and continued on his way.

I rushed all the way to Chang'an. As soon as I passed the guard interrogation, I was stopped by a young novice.

The young novice monk saluted the scholar and asked: "Does the donor have any strange objects on his body?"

"Young master, you are on the run, who cares about the things outside your body?" . ?

The little novice monk smiled, pointed at the scholar's chest and said: "Donor, that's what I'm talking about." ?

The guard immediately held the scholar down. The novice took out a copy of "The Later Han Dynasty" from his arms, pronounced the Buddha's name and left.

Before the scholar could speak, he was pushed into the crowd by the guards and squeezed into the city gate.

The scholar anxiously inquired around Chang'an City and learned that the monsters in Chang'an City had recently been collected and suppressed in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Then he hurried to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

Daci'en Temple in Chang'an City is a peaceful place for Buddhism. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda suppresses countless monsters and is guarded by Vajra Arhats.

In the Pudu Hall, the scholar was having a red-faced argument with an old monk.

?Amitabha, donor, why are you so obsessed with it? There is a fairy in that book, but it is just a beauty skin that blinded you. ?

The scholar retorted with a bare face: "Don't care about her fairies and fairies, she has no intention of harming anyone since she followed me. People have good and evil, but don't demons exist? ?

?She has been trapped in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and now she is in trouble with the demons and immortals, and they will never let her out. Donor, please come back. ?

?Master, how about letting me go in and see her?

?No, please go back, please. ?

?The most important thing in Buddhism is cause and effect. If I are not allowed to see Yu'er today, I will die in this Great Ci'en Temple. ?

The old monk was silent for a while and sighed: "Donor, why bother? Come with me." ?

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has seven floors. Each layer is dangerous and unpredictable. The most evil and evil things are suppressed inside. There is a golden Buddha statue in the center of each floor to suppress the monsters, making it difficult for the monsters to escape. sky.

The scholar followed the old monk all the way to the seventh floor. Through the barrier, he could see that there were ghosts and monsters running rampant inside. All kinds of people, both heard and unheard, were fighting and killing each other inside.

?Donor, please wait here, remember not to cross the barrier forward, otherwise even Daluo Jinxian will not be able to save you. ?

The scholar waited in place. After a while, he saw a little firelight in the darkness in the distance. The demons who were fighting and killing seemed to see something extremely terrifying. In an instant, Running around, disappearing without a trace.

Slowly, the fire became clearer and clearer, and the scholar saw a red and pink skeleton floating slowly in the fire.

The scholar shouted anxiously: "Yu'er, is that you?"

The skeleton lowered his head and did not answer. After a while, he came back: "Liu Lang only saw that the face was like jade and withered bones at times. Appearance, sometimes beautiful skin.

Seeing Yan Ruyu transform into a human form with pear blossoms and rain, the scholar felt regretful in his heart. If he had known this, he should not have come to Chang'an.

Yan Ruyu seemed to understand the scholar's thoughts and said: "Actually, no one can blame me. I didn't know that Yuan Tiangang's sky-gazing mirror was so powerful, otherwise the young novice would not have discovered it." At this point, Liu Lang, you can go back after avoiding the limelight in Chang'an, and don't come to me again. ?

?Master!? The scholar knelt down in front of the old monk with a bang, ?Master, I have studied hard since I was a child, but I was born stupid and failed many times. What I have achieved in this life, if it were not for Yu'er, my life would be nothing but a dream and a life of inaction. Jade Orchid has a good heart and does not have any harmful intentions. I hope you will be more open-minded. ?

?Amitabha, the donor is so stubborn that I have no choice but to ask you to come out of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. ?As soon as he finished speaking, the scholar felt that the strong wind was coming towards him, and he was about to lose his footing, and was about to be blown out. Thinking that he would never see Yu'er again in this life, he immediately leaned over and rolled towards the barrier. go.

Seeing this, the old monk broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped, but it was too late. The scholar entered the barrier and was already in front of that Yan Ruyu. The monsters hiding in the darkness around them were eager to move when they saw the new flesh and blood, but they could only swallow their anger because of Yan Ruyu's intimidation.

?Liu Lang, don’t come here. I will die if I get away from the fire. In this Big Wild Goose Pagoda, I can only show others this face. ?When Yan Ruyu saw the scholar entering the barrier, she quickly floated back, fearing that the fire would burn him.

?Yu'er, I have done nothing in this life. Without you, what is the difference between me and the walking dead? The world is so big, how can it accommodate a poor scholar like me who has no power to tie a chicken. ?The scholar said as he walked towards Yan Ruyu.

?Now that the world is in chaos, I should have died in Junchang County. I am satisfied to live for a few more days. Rather than being lonely and dead in the mountains, I would rather be burned by flames and buried beside you. ?

Yan Ruyu tried her best to transform into a human form, bowed to the scholar, and hesitated for a long time before saying: ? When Liu Lang was one year old, I looked at him with joy in the high cabinet of the bookcase. After Liu Lang studied hard day and night, he studied hard day and night. They looked at each other, fearing that Liu Lang would be surprised by the unexpected arrival. Now I think it's too late, and I have to leave before I have been with you for a long time. Liulang takes the first step, and I will follow you to Naihe, the underworld. ?

Yan Ruyu stopped retreating and allowed the scholar to walk into the sky full of Lihuo. His clothes turned into fly ash, and his body gradually lost its vitality under the burning Lihuo. Finally, the scholar gently He wrapped his hands around Yan Ruyu, and then it turned into flying ashes and disappeared without a trace. Yan Ruyu choked back tears and threw the lantern beside her on the ground, transforming into countless fire snakes and wreaking havoc on the seventh floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Countless demons ignited when they touched it, and their souls were destroyed. The whole city of Chang'an can see thousands of fires bursting from the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, burning through the black clouds on the tower. The old monk had already led the people back to the seventh floor, and his soul was about to fly out when he saw this. Countless flames burned, Li Huo was not an ordinary flame, the barrier was riddled with holes and was in pieces.

The fire burned for three days. After the fire was extinguished, Daci'en Temple discovered that the golden Buddha statue on the seventh floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda had been melted, and even the Buddha statue on the sixth floor had been melted down by two feet. Many of the demons that were suppressed at the beginning were burned clean.

Afterwards, Ci'en Temple rebuilt the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but it was not as powerful as before.

"Shishuo": Yan Ruyu was born with the essence of Lihuo. Over time, he developed into a nature and overcame tribulations to become an immortal. However, it was difficult for the naked eye to distinguish between good and evil. He was locked in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and covered the sky with anger from Lihuo. From then on, Yan Pagoda was no longer able to suppress demons. Blessings and misfortunes?
