He was a famous Taoist priest in the Han
Dynasty and his story is recorded in history books.
He lived in seclusion on Songshan Mountain
for a long time and had many disciples.
Because there were so many people studying
with him, he attracted the attention of the local government.
After the local mayor sent soldiers to
arrest him where he lived, he was brought before the mayor.
The mayor said to him
I think you are a liar.
You use your deception to make many people
believe that you have mastered the method of becoming immortal.
I don't think you really have any special
abilities. If you really have those special abilities, you can show them to me
now, otherwise I will punish you according to the most severe law.
He said to the mayor with a smile.
I do have special abilities. I have the
ability to summon spirits.
the mayor said to him.
Can you really summon ghosts? I don't think
so, you're just talking big.
Liu Gen did not argue with the mayor. After
a few seconds of silence, he turned his head, looked back and shouted.
Come out.
Several people suddenly appeared behind Liu
Gen. Their hands were tied with ropes and they stood in a line. These people
walked over to Liu Gen's side.
The mayor couldn't believe his eyes. After
rubbing his eyes, the mayor saw that he knew all those people who suddenly
appeared. These people who suddenly appeared were his dead relatives.
His parents, his grandparents, his aunts
and uncles.
The ghost of the mayor's father came to Liu
Gen and spoke to Liu Gen with great respect.
Please forgive my son's recklessness, he
doesn't believe you.
I will ask him to apologise to you
directly.
The ghost of the mayor's father then
approached the mayor and spoke to him.
You are a foolish child.
Liu Gen's ability is very powerful, and he
has great influence in the place where our spirits live. Your actions have
caused trouble for those of us who have become dead.
I order you to admit your mistake to Liu
Gen immediately.
The Mayor immediately knelt down in front
of his father's ghost and Liu Gen. The Mayor spoke to his father's ghost and
Liu Gen with a trembling voice.
I was wrong to doubt your abilities, please
let my family be safe in the afterlife.
I will release you immediately.
After saying these words, the Mayor raised his head.
The Mayor was surprised to see Liu Gen
and the ghosts disappear before his eyes.
Dear friend, what are your thoughts after
listening to this story?
Do you believe that ghosts exist? If you
could see the ghost of a dead person, who would you like to meet?
I hope this story can give you some new
insights.

他是漢王朝一個著名的道士，歷史書上記載了一個他的故事。
他長期隱居在嵩山上，他有很多學生。
因為跟他學習的人非常的多，引起了當地的地方政府的領導的注意。
當地的市長派遣了士兵到他所居住的地方逮捕他後，他被押解到市長的面前。
市長對他說。
我認為你是一個騙子。
你運用你的騙術讓很多人認為你已經掌握的成為仙人的方法。
我不相信你真的特別的能力，如果你真的有那些特殊的能力，你可以現在展現給我看，不然我就要依照最嚴厲的法律處罰你。
他微笑著對市長說。
我是真的有特殊的能力，我有一個能力，可以召喚鬼魂。
市長對他說。
你真的可以召喚鬼魂嗎?我認為你做不到，你只是在說大話。
劉根沒有反駁市長，他低頭沉默了幾秒鐘後，他轉頭向後看並且大喊一聲。
你們出來吧。
劉根的身後突然出現了好幾個人，這些人的手上被繩子綁住，這些人排成一列。這幾個人走到劉根的身邊。
市長不敢相信自己的眼睛，市長揉了揉自己的眼睛後，市長看到這些突然出現的人他全部都認識，這些突然出現的人是他已經死去的親人。
他的父母親，他的祖父母，他的叔叔與阿姨。
市長的父親的鬼魂走到劉根的身邊，市長的父親的鬼魂用很尊敬的態度對劉根說。
請你原諒我的兒子的魯莽，他竟然不相信你。
我會直接請他向你請罪。
市長的父親的鬼魂接著走到市長面前並對市長說。
你是一個愚昧的小孩子。
劉根他的能力非常的大，他在我們鬼魂住著的地方也有很大的影響力你的行為已經造成了我們這些已經成為死去的人的困擾。
我命令你立刻跟劉根認錯。
市長立刻跪在他的父親的鬼魂與劉根面前，市長用顫抖的聲音對父親的鬼魂與劉根說。
我錯了，我不應該懷疑你的能力，請你讓我的家人在死後的世界可以平安。
我會立刻釋放你。
市長說完這些話後，他抬起頭來。
市長很驚訝地發現，劉根與那些鬼魂已經消失在他的面前。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你認為鬼魂是否存在呢?你如果可以見到一個已經死去的人個鬼魂，你會想跟誰見面呢?
我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
