The Tale of the Demon in Xương Giang

The Tale of the Demon in Xương Giang is the eleventh story of Nguyễn Dữ's Truyền kỳ mạn lục collection,[1] published in the third volume.

In the Lê dynasty, a mandarin from Lạng Giang named Hoàng is traveling to the capital to take office.

A month after Hoàng takes office, he falls ill and becomes insane, refusing any drugs or talismans given to him.

Yama is angry at the girl and sentences her to hell, but also reduces Hoàng's longevity by 12 years for his indecency, before sending him back home.

A few years later, Hoàng goes to Tam Giang and stops by Phong Châu Temple, but he realizes that it is the same palace he saw before, so he runs away.
