There is an official surnamed Zhou in Dongchangfu. He inherited his father's official position and took his wife to Anqing County. They set out from Dengzhou in February, when it was sunny and sunny. They walked for about half a month and came to the post station on the plain to have a rest. At that time, it was basically by carriage, so I couldn't understand the itinerary quickly. This Zhou magistrate and his wife Liu had dinner at the post office, and then Zhou magistrate asked the local villagers how far it was from Anqing. They said to go through the three hills first, and then through Shenyang ridge. There is a waterway under the ridge. If the wind is good, it will take about five days.
It was noon at that time, and Zhou Zhifu thought it was still early, so he wanted to get to Sanshan Post Station to cross the ridge tomorrow. But the locals said that Sanshan Post Station was mostly barren hills, and the place of Shenyangling was evil, so they suggested that their family rest here first. But Zhou magistrate of a county didn't listen, so he took his wife on the road. When they arrived at Sanshan post, it had been abandoned for a long time, so they made do with mats on the ground all night. Who knows, in the morning, Liu disappeared, and Zhou Zhifu asked around to find out that there were always goblins here, and his wife was probably taken away by it.
But he couldn't delay taking office, so he had to go to his post first, and then he met Bao Zheng, and Zhou Zhifu informed the matter. Bao Zheng took his hand and looked for the monster everywhere, but he really found the hiding place of the monster and realized that it was a monkey essence. The Monkey King was not in the cave at that time. The woman who came from the cave told Bao Zheng that the Monkey King was most afraid of poisoned wine. Bao Zheng and others hurried back to get poisoned wine and hemp rope and gave it to the woman. Then when the Monkey King came back, these women coaxed the Monkey King into drinking the poisoned wine and tied it up with a rope. In this way, Bao Zheng personally beheaded the Monkey King with the magic sword, which can be said to be a very strange story!
