Crimes involving knowledge and immorality are the most terrifying.
It was a bit taxing to read, but I finished it like a chewer. The story has a deep feeling at the end. Virtue is higher than crime. Virtue is done intentionally, while sin is mostly forced. If you break the precepts, you can overcome them by yourself, accumulate good deeds, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Just like the teachings of Teacher Mu: Do the right thing, do the right thing.
Touch the soul!
Lao Can's Travels
It's a bit lacking, but it can be used by future generations to imagine.
People like Lao Can are kind to others.
Although this book is obviously superstitious. But this is unique to classical novels. His description of the social background of that era is quite good. There are also sources of corruption. Well written. In particular, the part about Ke Zheng, who is fiercer than a tiger, left the most profound impression.
Once you get started, you will be out of control, and as soon as you read it, you will forget everything. What a great book!

Happy to read it! ! ! ! !
Can the missing parts still be found?
Lao Can met a girl from the Shi family in the underworld. Her back was mutilated. I don't know what happened to her. Did she ascend to heaven or return to the sun?
I don't know why I can't get into this type of book.
