The Gambling Charm

韓道士,居邑中之天齊廟。多幻術,共名之「仙」。先子與最善,每適城,輒造之。一日,與先叔赴邑,擬訪韓,適遇諸途。韓付鑰曰:「請先往啟門坐,少旋我即至。」乃如其言。詣廟發扃,則韓已坐室中。諸如此類。

韓道士住在本縣城裡的天齊廟。他會許多幻術,大家都稱他為「仙人」。我已故的父親與他最要好,每次進城,都會去拜訪他。一天,父親與我已故的叔父一起進城,打算去看韓道士,恰好在路上遇見他。韓道士把鑰匙交給他們,說:「請先過去開門坐一會兒,我很快就到。」他們便照他說的做了。到了廟裡,打開門鎖,卻見韓道士已經坐在屋中。他的幻術,大抵都是這一類。

A Daoist named Han lived in the Tianqi Temple in my county town. He had many magic arts, and everyone called him “the Immortal.” My late father was his closest friend, and whenever he went into town he would call on him. One day my father and my late uncle went to the town meaning to visit Han, and happened to meet him on the road. Han handed them his key. “Please go on ahead, open the door and sit down,” he said. “I’ll be along in a moment.” They did as he said. When they reached the temple and undid the lock, there was Han, already sitting in the room. That is the kind of thing he did.
