Chapter 667: Shaman

Qiao Mao was raised by his grandmother since he was a child, so from the age of three, he followed his grandmother and lived in the Qiao family's mansion.

Qiao Mao's grandmother lives in the courtyard at the back of the mansion, even if this courtyard is other Qiao family, they are not allowed to step into it without the consent of Qiao Mao's grandmother, and Qiao Mao can enter and exit at will because he is a child.

It is precisely because of this that when Qiao Mao was six years old, when he went to the toilet in the middle of the night, he once saw his grandmother wearing a bright wedding dress and climbing into a coffin.

At that time, Qiao Mao was deeply stimulated by this scene, and he had a fever for several days, but it was precisely because of fear at that time, so he didn't say it, but just kept it in his heart.

"To be honest, it hit me a lot because of that incident, and these pictures were taken from my old house when I was an adult. ”

Qiao Mao didn't say how he got it, but Fang Ming knew in his heart that Qiao Mao was secretly investigating his grandmother, including his great-grandmother, and this kind of thing involving the secrets of the former Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that those elders would not say it, and they would even choose to disappear into the dust of history.

"You mean, your grandmother put on her wedding dress and climbed into the coffin of your great-grandmother, who was originally not like your great-grandmother, but turned out to be a person in the back. ”

Chen Ze scratched his head, he felt that his brain cells were a little insufficient.

"Qiao Mao, won't your great-grandmother be buried?

"All the clansmen of our Qiao family will be buried after death, but grandma Taizu did not, and my grandmother probably won't be buried either. ”

Hearing Qiao Mao's answer, Ling Chuchu was silent, and the other people present also began to absorb the meaning of Qiao Mao's words, the entire Qiao family was not buried after Qiao Mao's grandmother and grandmother died, and the two had so many similarities......

"The longer the more similar the face, the same is the revitalization of the Qiao family, and they have all worn that wedding dress...... and Sister Ye Mei's habits......"

Ye Ziyu muttered softly, and then seemed to think of something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Is the problem in this wedding dress?"

"That's right, that's the problem with this wedding dress. ”

Qiao Mao nodded and admitted, and said: "Actually, since I became an adult, I have been investigating the affairs of my grandmother and grandmother, and finally found that the only thing that my grandmother and my grandmother have a connection with is this wedding dress. ”

"If there's something wrong with this wedding dress, then your mother?"

"My mom didn't wear this wedding dress. ”

Qiao Mao knew what everyone was thinking, and answered directly.

"Outsiders think that our Qiao family and the Ye family are world friends, but few people know that when our Qiao family and the Ye family met, the Ye family was just a small family, and at that time, our Qiao family had already monopolized half of the cloth business in the capital, and the reason why it was handed over to the Ye family was because of the decision made after my grandmother met Ye Mei. ”

"Outsiders think that Ye Mei and I are childhood sweethearts, and they all think that my grandmother likes Ye Mei and wants Ye Mei to be the granddaughter-in-law of the Qiao family, but what these people don't know is that the reason why my grandmother likes Ye Mei is because Ye Mei can wear this wedding dress. ”

When he said this, Qiao Mao looked at the wedding dress hanging on the wall, with a complicated look in his eyes, and then looked at Ye Mei, his expression turned into guilt.

"When Ye Mei was four years old, she once went to my Qiao's ancestral house to play, and my grandmother liked Ye Mei very much, and everyone didn't take it to heart, after all, the old people like children, so I didn't think much about seeing my grandmother take Ye Mei to the backyard, and I happened to sleep in the backyard because of my illness. ”

"So, I saw my grandmother take out the wedding dress, but put the wedding dress on Ye Mei's body, can you imagine that kind of picture? A four-year-old girl, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress, and next to my grandmother's smile, that smile I will never forget. ”

Qiao Mao's face was a little pale when he said this, because he would never forget that image for the rest of his life, and it was even more profound to him than when he saw his grandmother climb into the coffin of his grandmother.

That smile, it's a complex blend of greed, jealousy, and relief.

Ling Chuchu and the others only felt that their scalp was numb at the moment, and let a four-year-old girl put on a wedding dress, how perverted was this Qiao Mao's grandmother in her heart?

"At that time, although I didn't know what my grandmother's abnormal behavior meant, I subconsciously told me that I couldn't let Ye Mei become my daughter-in-law, otherwise it would hurt Ye Mei, so from that time on, I deliberately pretended to hate Ye Mei very much, thinking that this would dispel my grandmother's thoughts. ”

Qiao Mao had a wry smile on his face, but Ye Mei was stunned at the moment, Ling Chuchu and the others were also silent, they didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this.

"So over the years, in addition to investigating the wedding dress, you have also secretly learned to sew, because you think that when the time comes, you will sew an identical wedding dress by yourself, and then change the wedding dress, you think that Ye Mei will be fine. ”

Fang Ming looked at Qiao Mao, he had already guessed Qiao Mao's purpose when he saw the failed wedding dresses in the bamboo basket in the secret room.

"That's right, that's what I thought, I want to have a tanuki for the prince. Qiao Mao admitted truthfully.

Zhang Shuchen heard Qiao Mao's reply, tilted his head and thought for a while, and said: "There's no need to be so troublesome, since you think it's a ghost of the wedding dress, then you can completely destroy the wedding dress, or take it away yourself, and then say that it was stolen by a thief, and your grandma can't say anything." ”

"It's useless. ”

Qiao Mao shook his head and replied: "I have tried all the methods you said, I sneaked into my grandmother's room a few years ago and stole this wedding dress, and after stealing it, I directly threw this wedding dress in the mountains and forests, but do you know what the final result is?"

Ling Chuchu and the others shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

"When I got home, I saw my grandmother with her wedding dress in her hand, mending it with needlework and thread, and saying that rats had come in from the house and had bitten the sleeves of her wedding dress. ”

"But do you know that the tear in the sleeve of this dress was torn in anger and panic when I threw away the wedding dress, so this wedding dress is the one I threw in the mountains and forests. ”

Qiao Mao's face was pale, just imagine, who just lost something on his front foot, and the next moment he appeared in front of him, he wouldn't feel panic?

From that time on, Qiao Mao knew that it was impossible to lose the wedding dress, and even if it was destroyed, he couldn't even destroy it, so he could only get along with Li Daitao.

"Brother Fang Ming, what is the secret of this wedding dress?"

Ye Ziyu directly looked at Fang Ming, because she knew that Brother Fang Ming must have guessed something, otherwise she would not have made Qiao Mao completely let down his guard and tell the secret in his heart.

"Mr. Qiao's grandmother is a person from the Republic of China, and Sister Ye Mei's behavior is more and more like the style of those celebrities and ladies in the Republic of China, plus some of the strange behaviors of his grandmother that Mr. Qiao just said, all of this is actually telling. ”

Fang Ming didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, the corners of his mouth rose, and said: "If I guessed correctly, this wedding dress should be a wedding dress that has been possessed by the spirit, and the grandmother of the Qiao family is a descendant of the royal family of the Qing Dynasty, obviously this is a means of shamanism." ”

"Shamanism?" Ling Chuchu and the others all looked at Fang Ming in confusion.

"Brother Fang Ming, do you mean the shamanism you are talking about, those disciples in the north?"

Ye Ziyu has a little understanding of shamanism, because of Fang Ming, she has read a lot of classic records about religion, including the mention of shamanism, and the disciples in the north are a continuation of shamanism.

The so-called disciples of the horse, many people may be very unfamiliar, but if you mention the god or witch, the northerners will not be unfamiliar, in the northern townships, almost every town will have a disciple of the horse, claiming to be possessed by immortals, specializing in solving the difficult problems encountered in the nearby ten miles and eight towns.

This kind of person has a characteristic, that is, he will enter a state of madness at any time, of course, this is the description of outsiders, in the words of the disciples of the horse, this is possessed by the gods.

"The disciples are just a branch of shamanism, shamanism was very popular in the Qing Dynasty, especially at that time, there were many shamanic disciples in the Qing Dynasty, and shamanism is really good at the ability of the soul. ”

"Actually, I noticed that this wedding dress was strange at the beginning, but this kind of weirdness even I can't say, I have heard of borrowing a corpse to resurrect the soul, but I have not heard of borrowing a wedding dress to resurrect the soul, not to mention that if this wedding dress really has a soul, it is impossible to escape my eyes, which is also where I was puzzled before. ”

The corners of Fang Ming's mouth curled, and he continued: "But if it is from the hands of shamanism, it can be explained that the past is that shamanism has many mysterious studies, among which the more famous one is the possession of spirits. ”

"Possession of spirits, is it the same as the possession of the gods of those disciples who came out of the horse?" Tang Yan asked.

"Nope. ”

Fang Ming shook his head, "The possession of the gods is the disciple of the horse, while the possession of the shamanism is the most primitive, and the forms are very diverse, but one thing is for sure, the possession of the spirit and the possession of the spirit have the same requirements for the carrier. ”

The gods of the disciples of the horse possess the body, and they have requirements for themselves, not everyone can become a disciple of the horse, and the same is true for the spirit, not everyone can possess the spirit.

"It can be determined that Mr. Qiao's grandmother was sure that Ye Mei met the conditions for possession, so she wanted Ye Mei to wear this wedding dress, but the real truth of this wedding dress is probably only known to Mr. Qiao's grandmother. ”
