Original text:
Guo Sheng, a native of Kyoto, is in his twenties and looks handsome. One evening, an old woman raised a glass, scolded her for no reason, and said with a smile, Don't ask. But drinking it has its own beauty. ? Then go. Expose the statue and smell it a little. It smells good, so drink it. Suddenly drunk, I lost sleep. After waking up, lie down with someone. The caressed skin is greasy as fat, and the musk orchid overflows the woman. Ask without answering, then hand in. Hand in hand, touch the wall, the wall is full of stones, rustic and cool. Frightened, he suspected that he was possessed by ghosts, because he asked the woman: What god is your daughter? I am not a god, but a fairy. This is the abode of fairies and immortals. Don't be surprised by your relationship with rewelding rewelding, but tolerate it. Re-enter a heavy door, where there is light leakage, you can pee. ? Then the woman got up and closed the door. For a long time, I was hungry, so a girl came over and gave me bread and duck, which made me ask for it. No woman can go to bed before she knows the night. Guo Yue:? There is no light during the day and at night, and I don't know where to eat. Usually, what's the difference between Heng E and Luo Cha, and what's the difference between heaven and hell! ? The woman smiled and said: For the common people, I like to talk more, so I don't want to meet in all colors. And secretly groping, Yao Yan should be different, why there are lights and candles! ?
After a few days, I was depressed. I have repeatedly asked for a temporary return. Woman:? Come and visit the Heavenly Palace with you in the evening, and goodbye. ? The next day, Xiaoguang came in and said, This lady has been waiting for Lang for a long time. ? From it. The stars shine, but there are countless castles. After a few sketches, it started from one place, with beaded curtains hanging in the hall and huge candles burning like day. When you went in, that beautiful woman was sitting in the south with makeup, about twenty years old, wearing a dazzling robe and pearls on her head. There are short candles in the ground, and the skirts are all illuminated, which is sincere for heaven and man. Guo lost time in the confusion and didn't feel his knees bent. The woman ordered the maid to help drag it to the seat. List the eight treasures later. Female drinker:? Drink this to see you off. ? Guo bowed and said, I don't know what the gods think of me, but I really regret it; If you allow yourself to atone, you are willing to accept it as a toothless minister. ? The maid smiled and ordered her to move to the bedroom. Suzhou embroidery curtains circulate in the room, and the mattress is fragrant and soft. Let Guo sit on the sofa. After drinking, the woman repeatedly said: You have been away from home for a long time, so it's no harm to come back temporarily. ? Even better, Guo said goodbye. The woman asked the maid to bring a cage candle. Guo still didn't say anything, just drunk, sleeping on the sofa and not moving. Women ask maids to help naked people. A servant girl scratched her private parts and said, A man looks like Wen Ya, so why don't you write it! ? Put it on the bed and leave with a smile.
The woman fell asleep, too, and Guo Nai turned to one side. The woman asked:? Drunk:? Why are you drunk? When I first met the immortal, my mind turned upside down. ? Woman:? This is the Heavenly Palace. I left before I knew it. If you feel bored in the cave, you'd better leave early. ? Guo Yue:? Someone named the flowers tonight, smelled them and dried them, but there was no light. How can this situation compare with women's smiles and allow them to be lit up? At four o'clock, I asked the maid to bring the clothes. When I entered the hole, I saw Dan Chalden's exquisite workmanship, and the mattress skin and brown felt ruler were very thick where I slept. Guo Jie's shoes are on the bed, but the handmaiden lingers. Guo stared, and the wind made Juan good. He joked, Then I'm not a writer. I laugh at my maid and touch my pillow with my feet. A son should be stiff! Don't say anything. Beads embedded in the toe of shoes are like huge brass cymbals. Grabbing around, the servant in his arms, groaning at each other. Guo asked:? Year geometry answers the cloud:? Seventeen. ? Q:? Does the virgin know? I am not a virgin, but I have been abandoned for three years. ? Guo Yan's immortal surname is clear and respectful. The maid said, Don't ask if it is, not the sky or the earth. If we must know its actual consumption, we may find that there is no place to die. ? Guo Sui was afraid to ask again. The next night, women came with candles, and they slept and ate together, which was normal. A night female into yue:
? Times are always good; I didn't expect to be kind, so I got rid of the dung in the heavenly palace today and I can't get along anymore. Another glass of wine, please. ? Guo cried, please get fat for love. Women are not allowed to give a catty of gold and 100 pearls. All three lights went out, and suddenly I was drunk.
When I wake up, I feel that my whole body is tied and entangled, and I can't stretch my legs and I can't go out first. Try to lean sideways and fall under the bed. If you touch it, it will be wrapped in a bag and tied with a rope. I sat up and meditated. I only saw the bed. I knew I was in my room. After three months away from home, his family said he was dead. Guo Chu didn't dare to say anything, for fear of being condemned by the gods, but he had doubts. Steal a room and inform it that no one measures it. Being put on the bed, the fragrance filled a room; Take a look, the lake is full of fragrant crumbs, because it is treasured. When a minister heard this, he smiled and said, This Queen Jia is also wise. The fairy just died? Although, this should also be very secret, let it go, family! ? Witches often visit your house, saying that their pavilions are definitely like Yandong Building's home. Guo was very scared. He took his family with him. After a few days of severe punishment, I will come back.
Shi Yi said:? The lofty pavilion is blurred and the fragrance is embroidered; Young slaves wander around, embellishing pearls: immorality of non-power rape and arrogance are nothing. Gu Yin raised a throw, and the Golden House became Nagato; The pot is not dry, and the ground is covered with grass. An empty bed hurts, but a dark candle is charming. In front of the jade platform, stare at the treasure. Then it destroyed Futai, the road leading to the Heavenly Palace; In a gentle country, people doubt fairies. The curtain of Chu is thin and solid enough to be ashamed, and those who are barren in the vast fields are enough to quit! ?
Translation:
Guo Sheng, a native of Kyoto, is in her twenties. He is handsome and handsome. One night, an old woman brought him an altar of wine. Guo Sheng was surprised that the wine was delivered in an unknown way. The old woman smiled and said, don't ask! Drink it, it's good for you! ? Say that finish and left. Guo Sheng opened the jar and smelled it. The aroma was crisp and he drank all the wine. I suddenly got drunk and lost consciousness. When I woke up, I felt like I was sleeping in bed with someone. Touch it with your hand, and the man's skin is as delicate as fat and fragrant. It turned out to be a woman! Guo Sheng asked her what was going on, but the woman didn't speak. Guo Sheng had a relationship with her. Afterwards, Guo Sheng touched the wall, which was full of stones and had a faint smell of earth, much like a grave. Guo Sheng was frightened and suspected that he was possessed by ghosts, so he asked the woman: What kind of goddess are you? I am not a god, I am a fairy. This is my abode of fairies and immortals I have something to do with you. Don't be surprised. Just be patient and live here. Walk into another door and see a bright place where you can pee. ? After a while, the woman got up, closed the door and left.
After a long time, Guo Sheng felt hungry. After a while, a maid came and brought bread and ducks for Guo Sheng to eat in the dark. It was dark in the abode of fairies and immortals, and I don't know whether it was day or night. After a while, the woman fell asleep, and Guo knew it was night again. Guo Sheng said? There is no sun during the day, no lights at night, and I can't find my mouth when I eat. What's the difference between Chang 'e and Luo Cha ghost? What's the difference between heaven and hell? The woman smiled and said, because you are a secular person, you don't leave the door open when you talk. I'm afraid you'll tell about us, so I don't want you to see me. Besides, even if you grope secretly, beauty and ugliness should be different, and there is no need for lights at all! ?
A few days later, Guo Sheng was very angry and repeatedly asked to go back. The woman said: I will accompany you to visit the Heavenly Palace tomorrow night and say goodbye. ? The next day, suddenly a little maid came in with a lantern and said to Guo Sheng, Madam has been waiting for you for a long time! ? Guo Sheng followed her out. I saw countless pavilions standing under the bright starlight. After several twists and turns in the gallery, I came to a place: the lobby was hung with beaded curtains and lit with huge candles, as bright as day. When I walked in, I saw a beautiful woman in a full dress, sitting in a position facing south, about twenty years old, wearing a dazzling brocade robe and a string of pearls hanging from her head. There are many short candles underground, and even the inside of the beautiful woman's skirt is illuminated. What a fairy! Guo Sheng saw it, looked trance, and knelt down involuntarily. The beauty ordered the maid to pull him up and let him sit down. After a while, delicious food was laid out one after another. The beauty raised a glass to persuade the wine, saying, drink this cup of wine and send it to you. ? Guo Sheng bowed and said, I didn't know any immortals before. I'm really scared and ashamed! If you can allow me to atone, please accept me as your loyal slave! ? Hearing this, the beauty watched the maid laugh and ordered the banquet to be moved to the bedroom. Embroidered curtains hung in the bedroom, and the bedding was fragrant and soft. The woman asked Guo Sheng to sit on the bed and drink, repeatedly saying:? You've been away from home for a long time, so there's no harm in going back for a while. ? After drinking too much, Guo Sheng still refused to leave. The beauty asked the maid to bring him lanterns. Guo Sheng didn't speak, pretending to be drunk, lying on the couch, pushing feebly. The beauty asked several maids to undress him. A servant girl patted Guo Sheng's private parts and said, This man looks like Wen Ya. Why is this thing so dishonest! ? The maids picked him up, threw him on the bed and left with a smile. The beauty is asleep, too. Guo Sheng tossed and turned in bed. Beauty asks: Are you drunk? Guo Sheng said. Where did Xiao Sheng get drunk? Seeing the fairy, I was fascinated! ? The woman said: This is not a heavenly palace. You should leave before dawn tomorrow morning. Since you are bored in the cave, we might as well leave early! ? Guo Sheng said? For example, now some people get a famous flower at night, smell the flowers and touch the branches, but they have no light to look at. How can such a scene be tolerated! ? The woman smiled and promised him a candle.
It was not until the fourth watch that the woman called the maid to take Guo Sheng back to the cave with lanterns and clothes. Entering the cave, under the light, Guo Sheng saw that the walls were beautifully made, and the sleeping place was covered with a foot-thick leather mattress. Guo Sheng untied his shoes and covered himself with a quilt. He saw the maid wandering by the bed. Guo Sheng looked at it carefully and found it very beautiful, so he made fun of her and said, You called me dishonest, didn't you? The servant girl smiled and kicked his pillow and said, it's time for you to stand up and go to bed. Stop talking! ? Guo Sheng saw that her toes were inlaid with many pearls the size of rice grains, so he grabbed her feet, and the girl threw herself in his arms, and they had intercourse. The girl kept moaning as if she couldn't stand it. Guo Sheng asked; ? How old are you? The maid answered with a smile. Seventeen. ? Guo Sheng said? Do virgins know anything about affairs? The maid said. I am not a virgin. But I haven't done this with anyone for three years. ? Guo Sheng asked the beauty's name, birthplace and family background, and the maid said? Don't ask, this is not heaven or earth. If we must find out, I'm afraid it will come to no good end! ? Guo Sheng dare not ask again.
The next night, the beautiful woman came with a candle. They ate together, then went to bed, and they got used to it. One night, a woman came in and said, I thought we would be friends forever, but I didn't expect bad luck. The heavenly palace will be cleaned soon, and there is no room for you here. Please let me say goodbye to you. ? Guo Sheng shed tears and asked the woman to send some toiletries for her as a souvenir. The woman refused and gave him a catty of gold and a hundred pearls. Guo Sheng drank three glasses of wine and suddenly fell asleep. When I woke up, I felt that my limbs were tied, and the ropes were dense and tightly tied. I couldn't stretch my legs and turn my head. I struggled so hard that I fainted and fell to the ground. Reaching out and touching, I was tied with a string in a bag made of brocade. He sat up and tried to remember. When he saw something in the room, he knew it was in his study. He had been away from home for three months at that time, and his family thought he was dead. Guo Sheng didn't dare to say this at first, for fear of being punished by the gods, but he felt strange. Later, he told his friends secretly, and none of them could guess what was going on. The bag made of brocade quilt is still on Guo Sheng's bedside, and the fragrance permeates the whole room. When I opened it, I found that the quilt cover was made of lake cotton mixed with spices, which was treasured by Guo Sheng. Later, a big official heard about it, asked Guo Sheng about it and said with a smile. This is the usual trick of the lecherous Jia Empress in the Jin Dynasty. How can a fairy do this? Nevertheless, you must keep this secret and don't let it out. Otherwise, the three families will be wiped out! ?
A witch once went in and out of the famous house at that time, saying that Guo Sheng was there? Fairy? The pavilions seen there are very similar to the house of Yan Song's second son, Yan Shifan. When Guo Sheng heard this, he was frightened and ran away with his family. Soon, Yan Song's family was punished and Guo went home. ;
