Small Theater (1)
In a certain place, there was a young scholar named Liu Jun. He came from a poor family, but he was very smart and studious. He studied hard, hoping to change his family's financial situation through fame and fortune.
Liu Jun won the first place in the county examination and was recommended to go to the capital to take the imperial examination. His hometown people were happy for him. Liu Jun successfully passed the imperial examination in the capital and was awarded a beautiful official title. After returning to his hometown, he came to the village as a member of a scholarly family.
Liu Jun paid great attention to etiquette in office situations, walked in a dignified manner, and always wore a fur hat and official uniform, which made the villagers admire him very much.
Liu Jun also has a special liking for smart and beautiful girls, especially the beautiful Hongniang. He recites poems to praise Hongniang's grace and beauty, and Hongniang has been secretly paying attention to Liu Jun.
One night, when Liu Jun was walking home, he was attracted by a seemingly beautiful girl. After being tricked into a courtyard by the girl, Liu Jun fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up the next morning, he found that he had spent the whole night with the seemingly beautiful girl. Frightened, Liu Jun wanted to escape, but found himself being chased by a series of strange misfortunes.
Liu Jun suddenly woke up and found himself briefly immersed in the dream of that courtyard, as if "just like vaguely remembering it in a dream, especially when the red clouds passed by, the shadows of people were rustling, and the drunkard's mind was now in the cause of the scholar's beautiful dream."
It can be said that lust is a sword hanging over one's head.

Small Theater (II)
There was a temple on a mountain, in which lived a Taoist priest and a young monk. The young monk was very clever and always willing to help others, while the Taoist priest was aloof and not good at communication.
One day, the young monk came to the Taoist priest's room and found that the Taoist priest was writing a spell. The young monk asked curiously: "Master, what is this spell?"
The Taoist priest replied, "This is a spell that can defeat ghosts."
The young monk was surprised and asked, "There's actually a spell to defeat ghosts?"
The Taoist priest glanced at the little monk and said calmly: "Don't be surprised if you encounter a ghost. Take the opportunity to use my talisman to deal with it."
Although the little monk didn't quite understand, he still lowered his head and read the scriptures carefully.
Not long after, the temple was indeed attacked by a ghost. The young monk took advantage of the ghost's unpreparedness and used the talisman given by the Taoist priest to defeat the ghost. However, the talisman did not work. The young monk asked the Taoist priest in despair, "Master, why doesn't the talisman work?"
The Taoist priest smiled faintly: "Do you think I will give you a talisman that can defeat ghosts? I just want you to read the scriptures in peace."

In a small town, there is a mysterious ancient temple where a strange Taoist priest is said to live.
Legend has it that this Taoist priest possesses profound magical powers and supernatural abilities, and can resurrect the dead.
However, many people disappeared on their way to the temple or never returned, making the temple even more mysterious and intimidating.
One day, a young man named Xiaolong heard the legend about the temple. Out of curiosity and adventurous spirit, he decided to go on an adventure.
He came to the ancient temple and saw the Taoist's mysterious actions. He marveled at his mystery and power, but was also full of doubts about it.
He did not believe in the so-called magical powers of Taoist priests, thinking that these were just false and deceptive tricks.
However, he completely underestimated the Taoist's ability.
Seeing Xiaolong's distrust, the Taoist priest decided to show Xiaolong his magical powers and challenge him to accept his own test.
Xiaolong suddenly fell into a strange situation. He felt that he had lost his direction and consciousness, and saw people who had disappeared before and other mysterious things.
In this state, he gradually realized the truth he was facing. The Taoist's power and ability were real, Xiaolong told himself.
Xiaolong successfully passed the Taoist's test and was granted magical powers and abilities.
He realized that the Taoist's real purpose was to let him know that there are many things and powers in the world that are beyond imagination.
People should maintain curiosity and thirst for knowledge about mysterious and unknown areas.
