Chapter 029-03 손권의 등장

少頃，孫策親至壇中下令：若午時無雨，即焚死于吉。先令人堆積乾柴伺候。將及午時，狂風驟起。風過處，四下陰雲漸合。策曰：「時已近午，空有陰雲，而無甘雨，正是妖人！」叱左右將于吉扛上柴堆，四下舉火，燄隨風起。忽見黑煙一道，沖上空中，一聲響亮，雷電齊發，大雨如注。頃刻之間，街市成河，溪澗皆滿，足有三尺甘雨。于吉仰臥於柴堆之上，大喝一聲，雲收雨住，復見太陽。

於是眾官及百姓，共將于吉扶下柴堆，解去繩索，再拜稱謝。孫策見官民俱羅拜於水中，不顧衣服，乃勃然大怒，叱曰：「晴雨乃天地之定數，妖人偶乘其便，你等何得如此惑亂！」掣寶劍令左右殺了于吉。眾官力諫。策怒曰：「爾等皆欲從于吉造反耶！」眾官乃不敢復言。策叱武士將于吉一刀斬頭落地。只見一道青氣，投東北去了。策命將其屍號令於市，以正妖妄之罪。
 
是夜風雨交作，及曉不見了于吉屍首。守屍軍士報知孫策。策怒，欲殺守屍軍士。忽見一人，從堂前徐步而來,視之，卻是于吉。策大怒，正欲拔劍砍之，忽然昏倒於地。左右急救入臥內，半晌方甦。吳太夫人來視疾，謂策曰：「吾兒屈殺神仙，故招此禍。」策笑曰：「兒自幼隨父出征，殺人如麻，何曾有為禍之理？今殺妖人，正絕大禍，安得反為我禍？」夫人曰：「因汝不信，以致如此；今可作好事以禳之。」策曰：「吾命在天，妖人決不能為禍，何必禳耶？」夫人料勸不信，乃自令左右暗修善事禳解。

是夜三更，策臥於內宅，忽然陰風驟起，燈滅而復明。燈影之下，見于吉立於前。策大喝曰：「吾平生誓誅妖妄，以靖天下！汝既為陰鬼，何敢近我！」取床頭劍擲之，忽然不見。吳太夫人聞之，轉生憂悶。策乃扶病強行，以寬母心。母謂策曰：「聖人云：『鬼神之為德，其盛矣乎！』又云：『禱爾于上下神祇。』鬼神之事，不可不信。汝屈殺于先生，豈無報應？吾已令人設醮於郡之玉清觀內，汝可親往拜禱，自然安妥。」

策不敢違母命，只得勉強乘轎至玉清觀。道士接入，請策焚香，策焚香而不謝。忽香爐中煙起不散，結成一座華蓋，上面端坐著于吉。策怒，唾罵之；走離殿宇，又見于吉立於殿門，怒目視策。策顧左右曰：「汝等見妖鬼否？」左右皆云：「未見。」策愈怒，拔佩劍望于吉擲去，一人中劍而倒。眾視之，乃前日動手殺于吉之小卒，被劍砍入腦袋，七竅流血而死。策命扛出葬之。

59 Presently Sun Ce came near the altar and announced that if rain had not fallen by noon, he would burn the priest. And to confirm this he bade them prepare the pyre.

60 As it neared noon a strong wind sprang up, and the clouds gathered from all quarters. But there was no rain.

61 "It is near noon," said Sun Ce. "Clouds are of no account without rain. He is only an impostor."

62 Sun Ce bade his attendants lay the priest on the pyre and pile wood around him and apply the torch. Fanned by the gale the flames rose rapidly. Then appeared in the sky above a wreath of black vapor, followed by roaring thunder and vivid lightning, peal on peal and flash on flash. And the rain fell in a perfect deluge. In a short time the streets became rivers and torrents. It was indeed a three-span fall.

63 Yu Ji, who was still lying upon the pile of firewood, cried in a loud voice, "O Clouds, cease thy rain, and let the glorious sun appear!"

64 Thereupon officials and people helped the priest down, loosened the cord that bound him, and bowed before him in gratitude for the rain.

65 But Sun Ce boiled with rage at seeing his officers and the people gathered in groups and kneeling in the water regardless of the damage to their clothing.

66 "Rain or shine are as nature appoints them, and the wizard has happened to hit upon a moment of change. What are you making all this fuss about?" cried he.

67 Then he drew his sword and told the attendants to smite the Daoist Saint therewith. They all besought him to hold his hand.

68 "You want to follow Yu Ji in rebellion, I suppose," cried Sun Ce.

69 The officers, now thoroughly cowed by the rage of their lord, were silent and showed no opposition when the executioners seized the Daoist Saint and beheaded him.

70 As the head fell, they saw just a wreath of black smoke drift away to the northeast where lay the Langye Mountains.

71 The corpse was exposed in the market place as a warning to enchanters and wizards and such people.

 That night there came a very violent storm, and when it calmed down at daylight, there was no trace of the body of Yu Ji. The guards reported this, and Sun Ce in his wrath sentenced them to death. But as he did so, he saw Yu Ji calmly walking toward him as if the Daoist Saint were still alive. Sun Ce drew his sword and darted forward to strike at the wraith, but he fainted and fell to the ground.

72 They carried him to his chamber, and in a short time he recovered consciousness.

73 His mother, Lady Wu, came to visit him and said, "My son, you have done wrong to slay the holy one, and this is your retribution."

74 "Mother, when I was a boy, I went with Father to wars, where people are cut down as one cuts reed stalks. There is not much retribution about such doings. I have put this fellow to death and so checked a great evil. Where does retribution come in?"

75 "This comes of want of faith," she replied. "Now you must avert the evil by meritorious deeds."

76 "My fate depends on Heaven. Wizards can do me no harm, so why avert anything?"

77 His mother saw that it was useless to try persuasion, but she told his attendants to do some good deeds secretly whereby the evil should be turned aside.

78 That night about the third watch, as Sun Ce lay in his chamber, he suddenly felt a chill breeze, which seemed to extinguish the lamps for a moment, although they soon brightened again; and he saw in the lamp light the form of Yu Ji standing near his bed.

79 Sun Ce said, "I am the sworn foe of witchcraft, and I will purge the world of all such as deal in magic. You are a spirit, and how dare you approach me?"

80 Reaching down a sword that hung at the head of his bed, he hurled it at the phantom, which then disappeared. When his mother heard this story, her grief redoubled. Sun Ce, ill as he was, went to see his mother and did his utmost to reassure her.

81 She said, "Confucius the Teacher says: 'How abundantly do spiritual beings display the powers that belong to them!' and 'Prayer has been made to the spirits of the upper and lower worlds.' You must have faith. You sinned in putting Saint Yu Ji to death, and retribution is sure. I have already sent to have sacrifices performed at the Jade Pure Monastery, and you should go in person to pray. May all come right!"

82 Sun Ce could not withstand such a mandate from his mother so, mustering all his strength, he managed to get into a sedan chair and went to the monastery, where the Daoists received him respectfully and begged him to light the incense. He did so, but he returned no thanks. To the surprise of all, the smoke from the brazier, instead of floating upwards and dissipating, collected in a mass that gradually shaped itself into an umbrella, and there on the top sat Yu Ji.

83 Sun Ce simply spat abuse and went out of the temple. As he passed the gates, lo! Yu Ji stood there gazing at him with angry eyes.

84 "Do you see that wizard fellow?" said he to those about him.

85 They said they saw nothing. More angry than ever, he flung his sword at the figure by the gate. The sword struck one of his escorts who fell. Sun Ce told them to bury the man.
