Full-text translation in Akiyama City

Pu Songling (Qing Dynasty)

The mountain city around the mountain is one of the eight scenic spots in Zichuan County. But it often doesn't appear once every few years. One day, Yu Nian, the grandson, and his friends were drinking upstairs. Suddenly, he saw a lonely pagoda on the top of the mountain, towering into the sky. You look at me, I look at you, surprised and puzzled. I thought there were no temples around here. After a while, I saw dozens of palaces with high eaves and blue tiles. Only then did I know that there was a "mountain city". Before long, a high and low wall appeared, which was six or seven miles long and actually looked like a city. Among them, pavilions, halls and neighborhoods are clearly presented in front of us, and the number can be hundreds of millions. Suddenly there was a strong wind and smoke, and the whole city became blurred. After a while, the wind stopped and the sky was unfathomable. All the previous scenes have disappeared. There is only one tall building, which seems to be connected with the sky. There are five rooms on each floor, and the windows are all open. There are five bright places and the sky outside the building. Layer by layer, pointing to countless layers. The higher the room, the smaller the bright spot; Counting to the eighth floor, the bright spot is only as small as a star; Further up, I can't see clearly, and I can't count its level. People at the lower level come and go in a hurry, some lean against (the railing) and some stand in different postures. After a while, the building became lower and the roof could be seen. Gradually, it becomes the same as ordinary buildings; Gradually, it became a high bungalow; Suddenly reduced to the size of a fist, then reduced to the size of a bean, and finally disappeared completely.

I also heard that some people who get up early and are in a hurry see houses, markets and shops on the mountain, which is no different from the situation on earth, so people call it "ghost market".
