Ji Kang's Translation
On one occasion, Ji Kang was playing the piano under the lamp, when suddenly a monster appeared in the room, more than ten feet tall, dressed in black and wearing a belt around his waist. Ji Kang looked at the monster for a long time, blew out the lamp in one breath and said, "I feel ashamed to be under the same lamp as a monster like you!" " "On another occasion, he went out of town, came to a place dozens of miles away from Luoyang, and lived in Yuehua Pavilion. He was told that people used to kill people here. Ji Kang is natural and unrestrained, broad-minded and fearless. At one o'clock, he was still playing the piano in the pavilion and played a few songs. The piano was melodious and moving, and suddenly he heard someone cheering in the air. Ji Kang asked, "Who are you?" The bearer replied, "I am a soul who died here." I used to like playing the piano when I heard your fresh and melodious piano sound, so I came to enjoy it. "Had not been properly buried, reputation, inconvenience to meet you in the tangible. But I really appreciate your piano skills. If I show up, you need not be afraid. Please play a few more songs. " Ji Kang then played the piano for the ghost, and the ghost beat the time with the sound of the piano. Ji Kang said, "It's late at night. Why didn't you come to see me? I don't mind that you look terrible. " The ghost appeared, touched his head with his hand and said, "I feel happy when I hear your piano, as if I were alive again." So I chatted with Ji Kang about the theory of piano art, which was very knowledgeable. He borrowed a piano from Ji Kang and played Guangling San. Ji Kang asked him to teach him this song, and the ghost did. Ji Kang learned this song before, but he can't play it as well as a ghost. After the ghost taught this song, Ji Kang vowed never to teach others again. At dawn, the ghost bid farewell to Ji Kang and said, "Although we only dated for one night, it seems that we have been together for a thousand years! Now we are separated forever. " Both of them are very sad.
