There is a first house in Yintunan, Wuchang County, which is rented to a certain scholar. For six months, no one has touched it.

One day, Yin Tunan happened to pass by the door and saw the scholar going out. He was handsome in appearance, with a fat horse in mink fur, and a graceful demeanor. He went up to talk, and he was surprised that the scholar was gentle and well-spoken. After returning, he told his wife that she had ordered the maid to

In the name of giving gifts, I secretly observed the scholar's room. There was a beauty in the room, more beautiful than a fairy; all the flowers, stones and antiques were rare and rare.

Yin Tunan became more and more confused and didn't know who the scholar was. He came to visit him when the scholar was out. The next day, he came to pay his respects. When he opened the post and took a look, he found out that the scholar's surname was Yu Mingde. When asked about his origin, Yu De spoke sparklingly.

, he said vaguely: "The most valuable thing about making friends is understanding. I am not a big thief, why should I ask about my origins?"

Yin Tunan hosted a banquet in his honor, and the two of them talked and laughed happily. At dusk, two Kunlun slaves came with horses and lanterns to take Yu De back.

Tomorrow, the scholar returned to invite his master. Yin Tunan happily went to the appointment and entered the house. He saw that the walls were all decorated with bright paper, as smooth as a mirror. There was a gold Suan Ni incense burner with green smoke lingering in it, and the fragrance hit his nostrils. A jasper vase with a phoenix tail in it.

There are two branches of peacock feathers, each two feet long. A crystal vase, a bunch of pink flowers, whose name is unknown, but also two feet high. The hanging branches cover the outside of the table. The leaves are sparse and the flowers are dense, with buds still in their buds; the flowers look like wet butterflies.

The wings and stamens are like silk.

There were eight plates and bowls at the banquet, and the dishes were extremely rich. The scholar ordered the boy to beat the drum to encourage the flowers. When the drum beat, the flowers in the vase trembled and folded, and the butterfly wings gradually opened. Then the drums stopped, and there was a loud sound, and the stamens

It fell and turned into a butterfly, flying off Yin's clothes. Yu De stood up with a smile and punished Yin Tunan with a drink. As soon as the wine was filled, the butterflies flew away. After a while, the drums sounded again, and two butterflies flew off the top of the scholar's hat.

De smiled and said: "You will be killed if you do this." He punished himself with two cups of wine.

After beating the three-way drum, the flowers fell freely and gracefully down their sleeves. The children smiled and counted the numbers: Yin Tunan had nine petals, so he had to drink nine cups, and Yu De had to drink four cups.

Yin Tunan was half drunk and half awake, unable to finish the drink. He reluctantly drank three more glasses and left the table, becoming even more curious about Yu De.

Scholars like to be quiet, often stay at home, and don't like to socialize. Yin Tunan will tell everyone about Yu De's deeds, and those who hear it will be moved and rush to visit him. There are many visitors in front of the door. Yu De is impatient, so he bids farewell to his master.

Leave.

After Yu De left, Yin Tunan entered his house. The empty courtyard was swept and there was no trace of dust. Remnants of candles were piled up under the stone steps. The rags between the windows were broken and fingerprints were visible. There was a small white stone jar behind the house, which could hold a stone of water. Yin

Tunan took it home and stored water to raise goldfish. After a year, the water in the tank was as clear as before. Later, a servant accidentally broke the water tank while carrying bricks and stones. The clear water in the tank was accumulated and did not pour out. Looking at it, the water tank looked like it was empty.

Now, if you touch it with your hand, it will be ethereal. Once it is penetrated, the clear water will flow with your hand. When your hand comes out, the clear water will immediately recombine. Even in the cold winter, the clear water will not freeze.

One night, the water condensed into crystals, and the fish inside the crystals swam as freely as before. Yin Tunan was overjoyed and regarded the crystals as treasures. He hid the crystals in a secret room, and no one except his son-in-law or close relatives could view them. Over time, the news got out, and people came to ask for it in an endless stream.

On the night of the twelfth lunar month, the crystal shattered and disintegrated into water drops, which wet the ground. The goldfish disappeared, but the remaining stones from the old jar were still there. Suddenly a Taoist priest came to ask for a stone. Yin Tunan showed a piece of the fragment and the Taoist said:

"This is the water storage vessel of the Dragon Palace." Yin Tunan asked: "Why does the water not leak out when the stone vat breaks?" The Taoist pointed at the fragment and said: "The soul of the water vat is contained in the stone flakes, so if the stone is broken, the water will not be destroyed. Yin Tunan

Layman, this stone piece is the most precious treasure in heaven and earth. Can you give one to the poor Taoist?" Yin Tunan asked, "What is it for?" The Taoist said, "Crush the stone piece and mix it with medicine. After taking it, you will live forever." Yin Tunan asked, "What is it for?"
