About the author

Wu Chengen (1501-1582), named Ruzhong, also known as Sheyangshanren. Han nationality, from Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture (now Huai'an District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province). His ancestral home is Gaodian, Tongcheng, Anhui (now Gaodian, Yutan Township, Shuyang County). His ancestors lived in Gaodian, Shuyang, so he was called the Wu family in Gaodian. His father, Wu Rui, whose courtesy name was Tingqi, sold "Cailu Wenjie". He was a man who "loved to talk about current affairs, but there were some injustices. He often felt angry and depressed." He was a native of Huai'an Prefecture (now Huai'an District, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province) who migrated with his ancestors.

An outstanding novelist of the Ming Dynasty in China, he is the author of "Journey to the West", one of China's four great masterpieces. He was born into a family that was reduced from an academic officer to a businessman, and his family was poor. Wu Cheng'en was extremely smart since he was a child. "Huai'an Prefecture Chronicles" records that he was "sensitive and intelligent, and he was well-versed in books, and he was the author of many articles." However, he failed in the scientific examination, and did not make up for the title of "Sui Gong Sheng" until he was middle-aged. Living in Nanjing, he relied on selling literature to support his family for a long time. In his later years, he was appointed as the magistrate of Changxing County due to his family's poverty. Because he couldn't stand the darkness of the officialdom, he soon resigned angrily and died in poverty.

Original text: Xu Sheng, a native of Yan. He became a Jia in Fujian from his elder brother, but he did not have enough goods to accumulate. The guest said that the great Holy Spirit is here, and I will pray all the words. Sheng didn't know who the great sage was, so he left with his brother. When you reach it, the palaces and pavilions are spread over each other, making them extremely magnificent. Entering the hall to pay homage, you will see the head of a divine monkey and the body of Monkey King, the Monkey King. All the guests are in awe, and no one dares to show emotion. Sheng Su is upright and laughs at the vulgarity of the world. The crowd burned libations and kowtowed, then Sheng Qian went away. After returning home, my brother blamed him for being slow. Sheng said: "Sun Wukong is a fable of Qiu Weng, how can he be so sincere? If he has a god, he can strike with swords and thunder, and I will suffer the consequences myself!" When the masters of Nixuan heard the name of the great sage, they all shook their hands and turned pale, as if they were afraid that the great sage would hear it. When Sheng saw his appearance, he shouted loudly to distinguish it; all those who heard it covered their ears and walked away. At night, she suffered from fruit sickness and severe headache. Or he tried to persuade him to go to the temple to express his gratitude, but Sheng refused to listen. Not long after, his head was getting better, his buttocks were hurting again, and he developed a huge gangrene at night. Even his feet were completely swollen, and he could no longer sleep or eat. Brother, I have prayed for you, but it has not been proven yet. Or say: God's punishment must be congratulated by oneself. Sheng Zu didn't believe it. After more than a month, the sores gradually converged, and another gangrene appeared, which was twice as painful. When the doctor came, he cut the rotten flesh with a knife, and the blood overflowed into the bowl. He was afraid of what people and gods would say, so he endured it and groaned. After more than a month, he began to recover. And my brother is seriously ill. Sheng said: "What's wrong! God-reverent people are like this too. It's not Wukong who can cure Yu's disease." When the brother heard what he said, he became angry and said that God was angry and blamed his brother for not praying for him. Sheng said: "Brothers are like limbs. The limbs were rotten the day before yesterday and I didn't pray: How can I use the disease in my limbs to make it easier for me to keep it?" But he filed the medicine for delaying the treatment and did not pray. After taking the medicine, my brother died suddenly. She was so miserable that she bought a coffin to bury her brother. He threw himself into the shrine and counted the days, pointing to the gods: "Brother is sick, and you are angry with me, so that I can't confess. If you have a god, you should bring the dead back to life. I will call him a disciple from the north. Don't dare to have any different words; otherwise, I should use the method of practicing the Three Purities in your body to break my brother's underground confusion. "At night, I dreamed of being summoned by someone, entered the Great Holy Temple, and looked up to the Great Sage. He looked angry and scolded him, saying: "Because you are helpless, I pierced your shin with the Bodhisattva sword. You still don't regret it, but you tsk and say annoying things. I should have sent you to the Tongue Prison. I remember that you have been tough all your life. I will forgive you." My brother is ill, and you have shortened his life by using quack medicine. What is wrong with others? Nowadays, many magic powers are used to make the arrogant people use it as evidence. "I ordered the Qingyi envoy to ask for orders from Yama. Qingyi Bai said: "Three days later, the ghost will report his own death to Yaoting, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to do anything." The god took the square tablet, the life pen, and didn't know what to say, so Qingyi held it and left. It took a long time to return. Success comes with it and kneels in the hall. The god asked: "How late?" Qingyi Bai said: "Yama does not dare to be expert, and he has a great imperial edict to consult Dou Su, so it is too late." Sheng Chi went up to worship God for his kindness. The god said: "You can leave with your brother as soon as possible. If you can do good, it will be a blessing for you." Brothers are sad and happy, and they will all return home, and they will wake up. Getting anxious, Qicai looked at it. Brother Guo Jisu found it and felt the great holy power. Sheng was sincerely convinced, and his belief was even more than the popular custom. As for the brother's capital, half of it has been consumed by illness; the brother is not healthy yet, so he is relatively worried. One day, I happened to be traveling in the suburbs of Guo, and suddenly a man in brown clothes approached me and said, "Why are you worried, son?" Sheng Fang had nothing to complain about, so he prepared to describe his suffering. The man in brown clothes said: "There is a beautiful place. If you go and look at it for a while, it will break the boredom." He asked: "Where?" Dan said: "It's not far." Follow it. About half a mile out of the country, the man in brown clothes said, "I have a little trick, and we can be there in no time." He held his waist with both hands and nodded a little, then he felt the clouds coming under his feet, and he jumped up, I don't know how many hundreds of leagues. Fear, close your eyes and dare not open them. After a while, he said: "That's it." Suddenly he saw the glazed world, bright and different colors, and asked in surprise: "Where?" He said: "Heavenly Palace." Walking leisurely, the higher you go, the higher you go. Seeing an old man in the distance, he said happily "It's a blessing to meet such an old man!" He raised his hands and bowed to each other. The old man invited everyone to his place and cooked tea for the guests. He only had two cups, but they were not as full as they could be. The man in brown clothes said: "This is my disciple who has traveled thousands of miles to build an immortal temple. I ask for a gift from you." The old man ordered the boy to bring out a white stone, which looked like a sparrow egg and was as clear as ice. He asked him to take it by himself. Sheng thought that they could be used as wine coins if they could be brought home, so he took six of them. The man in brown clothes thought it was too cheap, so he took six coins instead, paid them in a rich package and wrapped them. He asked him to take the prong at his waist, cupped his hands and said, "That's enough." When Cisou came out, he still ordered Fu Xiu to come down, and it touched the ground. Sheng Jishou asked for the immortal number. He smiled and said, "This is the so-called somersault cloud." Sheng suddenly realized that he was a great sage and asked for protection. He said: "If you have enough money to cultivate it, you will be given 12% of the profit. Why should he ask for it?" Sheng worshiped him again, but his eyesight was already dim. After returning home, I was happy to tell my brother. If you understand the human vision, it will melt into the waist. When the carriage returns with goods, it will be twice as profitable. From then on, when I visited Fujian every time, I would always pray to the Great Sage. The prayers of others are not always fulfilled; all the requests are answered. Yi Shishi said: "In the past, when scholars passed the temple, they painted pipa on the wall and left. When they returned, their spirits were strong, and the incense and incense were related to each other. It is not necessary for the world to have its own person; if a person's spirit is present, then he is spiritual. That’s it.

Why? People's hearts gather together, and things may hold their ears. If it is prosperous, it is worthy of the blessing of the gods: How can it be true that the embroidery needle in the ear can change the hair, and the blue sky can rise with a somersault! The death is evil and deluded, and it is true under the eyes. "According to the manuscript of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
