New Interpretation of Strange Tales.

Summary

In Lijin County, Wang Lan unexpectedly dies but is returned by King Yama's ghostly attendant, who suggests he become an immortal instead. They steal a magical elixir from a fox spirit, allowing Wang Lan to remain in the mortal realm. Upon returning home, his wife is initially frightened but soon calms down as Wang Lan shares his experience. Wang Lan then partners with a friend, surnamed Zhang, to use his special abilities to help others and make a fortune. They travel to Shanxi to save a wealthy landlord's ill daughter by retrieving her lost soul. After successfully restoring her, they receive gratitude and wealth from the landlord. They decide to keep some for travel and send a portion to Zhang’s wife as thanks.
