Chapter 17 Golden Chrysanthemum
The story of this paper man was told to me by a friend when I was in Kaifeng before, about more than 20 years of the Republic of China, the national army was defeated and retreated step by step on the frontal battlefield, Yan Xishan Niangzi Pass was lost, the Shanxi war situation was eroded, and the Jin army could not get supplies in the process of defeat, and relied on robbing the people's food for military rations all the way.
There was a small detachment of the Jin army that broke away from the large army found a small village, there were a total of seven or eight families in the village, the commander of this small army fell in love with a farmer's daughter when he grabbed grain, the farmer was an old couple, desperately blocked, the commander was angry, shot and killed two old people, and then did not do two endlessly, simply ordered his subordinates to kill the whole village, and the girl was ravaged to death. This group of Qiu Ba is not taboo, vacating the house, and is still in the mood to spend the night here.
There are about ten days, more than ten miles away from another village, there is a daughter-in-law who married from here, brought her husband back to visit relatives, almost didn't frighten to death when she entered the village, there were corpses everywhere, the largest of them in a room, there were more than a dozen soldiers wearing Jin army uniforms, there was no trace of scars on their bodies, but they were all out of breath, two people were so frightened that they ran away, and the man was even more seriously ill after going back.
In the old days, a man was the pillar of a family, and his fall was tantamount to the fall of the sky. At this time, the northern part of Jin Province had been occupied by the Japanese, and the locals moved south one after another, and the people in the village were also gone, leaving only this one family behind.
One evening, an old Taoist priest and an old monk came to this village, begging for saliva to drink, I saw a man lying in bed, the man's face was very similar to an evil spirit, the Taoist priest asked the hostess what happened, after listening, he discussed with the monk, although you and I are not the same family, but the monks have the same compassion, I want to descend this soul, can you help. The monk sang a Buddha horn and said a good word, and the Taoist rushed to the village more than ten miles away overnight, where the monk chanted the Buddha.
Wait until about two o'clock in the morning, the Taoist came back, did not talk much, tore the window paper in the house and began to tie the paper man, after the tie, he put the paper man on the only road at the entrance of the village, recited the sentence of Amitayus Buddha, said, "I already know your grievances, but people and ghosts have different paths, the yang world is not the place where you stay for a long time, today I let this paper man show you the way, you go all the way forward do not have to look back, naturally walk through the yin and yang interval." After the Taoist spoke, he only felt the gust of yin wind, and then he returned to calm.
After a few days, the man was able to walk around on the ground, and the Taoist and the monk took their leave. The family later moved south, and by the way, the story was told, and slowly, in the southern part of Jinnan, there was a custom of erecting paper people on the road for the unjustly killed, so as to avoid evil ghosts haunting the city.
"I've only heard of this, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes, if it weren't for Xiao Meng, you mentioned the word "guide", I really didn't remember it. The mouth of the Tufuzi in the line is the most unaccurate, and I don't know what to say about it with false rumors, and you will interact with them in the future, remember to only trust three points. β
Xiao Meng naturally nodded again and again after listening to me, and drove forward with confidence, but Lu Worm was rare and did not have a free imagination, which was quite surprising.
The car traveled for a while, Xiao Meng introduced us to the center of the town, I got out of the car to see, there was not even a large shopping mall, only a few small shops, naturally disappointed, I watched Lu Worm go to a small shop, probably to buy cigarettes, I didn't care, just asked Xiao Meng if there was anything fun.
Xiao Meng thought for a while and replied, "Brother Wu, this is a small town, what's so fun, I know that a KTV opened by our people under Pinghokusai, the equipment is not on the table, but there are a lot of misses, and the price is quite cheap, or let's go there." β
Alas, poor place, I can also understand it, these two days have been stressful, and it is okay to relax and relax, thinking of this, I showed a smile to Xiao Meng that all men understand.
Lu Worm walked over from the small shop, I beckoned Xiao Meng to get into the car quickly, as soon as the car started, I felt Lv Worm put his hand on my shoulder from behind and pressed gently, I looked at Xiao Meng, he was concentrating on driving, I quietly felt the hidden information transmitted by Lv Worm.
Basically, all the partners who do this line of work, there will be some simple sign language to communicate, because of the special environment in the underground, sometimes it is inconvenient to speak, and sometimes even the people around you have to be on guard, so there are not many ways to pass on the news, and most of this sign language is blindly researched by yourself, not so much sign language, but a code, just like before I went to the door of Pinghokusai, Gu Ming tried to pass on the information to me, I am not a person from his Suzhou Gu family, naturally I can't understand it, I push people by myself, I and Lu Worm's code words, others can't understand itγ
I slowly combined the words passed by Lu Worm in my mind, first no, then the dead man, and the trap, zongzi. It's all black talk in the industry, why did it all come out, what does it mean?
The car stopped at the mouth of an alley, Xiao Meng led us to a place called Xintiandi KTV, as soon as we entered the gate, someone greeted us warmly, "Brother Meng, I haven't seen you for a few days, let's bring friends to play today, is it still the same arrangement?"
Although Xiao Meng is like a horse boy by our side, it is different here, this one is obviously not the boss, Xiao Meng didn't look at him squarely, "This is a distinguished guest, and those who are not on the table will be pulled over to make up the number, and ask you Mr. Zheng to call a few people who can catch the eye, he knows what I mean, and by the way, let him also come over to toast." β
After Xiao Meng finished speaking, the man didn't leave, and said with a bitter face, "Brother Meng, it's a little unfortunate, Mr. Zheng is entertaining guests, I look at Mr. Zheng just now, I'm afraid he can't afford to offend guests." Xiao Meng was furious when he heard this, he laughed angrily, and asked which private room he understood where he was, and led us over angrily, I was still thinking about what Lu Worm meant, I didn't want to go over, but I was afraid that Xiao Meng would have a dispute with others, so I followed, at least I could be a peacemaker to persuade me to say a few words.
When I arrived at the place, Xiao Meng kicked open the door and walked in, I followed behind to take a look, there was no ** scene, just a few people in black and a middle-aged man in casual clothes sitting. The middle-aged man should be Mr. Zheng, the owner of this KTV, when he saw Xiao Meng at this moment, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Why is Brother Meng here, let's go, my brother will rearrange a room for you, don't be angry, these bosses don't be angry, this is my own brother, I may have drunk too much wine, and I am rude, and I am rude." β
The second half of this sentence was said to those people in black, Xiao Meng snorted coldly after hearing it, and said, "Mr. Zheng, where are these distinguished guests, why don't you say hello in advance, isn't there such no rules in our building?"
Mr. Zheng is already sweating, as the person in charge of the industry under Heihokusai, these people are good people in the society, if it is another organization, he contacts outsiders privately, which is tantamount to a traitor, and the rivers and lakes in the industry are extremely heavy, and they can't tolerate this kind of person.
Seeing that Zheng Zongzhi was sweating and didn't speak, the few people in black couldn't sit still, and the one sitting in the middle looked like a leader, he stood up, took off a ring from his finger, and held it in front of our eyes, "You guys, do you recognize this." β
I took the ring, the light in the private room was not very bright, I changed a few angles to see what was carved in the middle of the ring.
It's a chrysanthemum.
I realized what Lu worm meant.
He must have gone to the commissary to inquire about the news first, and found that there were no dead people in the town recently, and there were not many rules for standing paper people, but it was not the only one, if it wasn't for the token of this chrysanthemum ring, I didn't expect that the other party would reveal his identity, and the answer would come out.
The reason I didn't expect it was because it wasn't Chinese.
The pattern on the ring is called the golden thousand silk chrysanthemum, also known as the sixteen-petal eightfold table chrysanthemum, which is the royal family crest of the 2,700-year-old chrysanthemum dynasty in Japan.
I showed the ring to Lu Worm to see, and returned it, Lv Worm still guessed wrong, he started from the starting point of no dead people, and inferred that this was some kind of magic, Shonan has had the art of expelling corpses since ancient times, and later the law was strict, and some people studied the use of paper people instead, after all, paper people are things that pass through the yin, although the power is greatly reduced, it is better than nothing, Lu Worm said zongzi, it must be regarded as a paper man as a magic weapon of the Shonan corpse faction.
This is the bookism.,You must know that the Shonan corpse sect is very taboo in the daytime.,And you can't put a paper figure without a spirit outside.,Like this kind of paper man guarding the intersection.,It's a bit famous in Japan.,It's called a ghost.γ
Chinese unanimously believe that the Japanese Yin-Yang Sect is only a side branch of the Daomen, such as ghosts, and also need to be made into the image of adults or animals in order to summon the corresponding spirit possession, and the Daomen authentic Dragon and Tiger Mountain, thousands of years ago there was a way of scattering beans into soldiers, cutting paper into an army, just from the literal can see that the two are not the same, but unfortunately as the birthplace of China, Taoism is gradually declining, the secret method of Taoism is lost in addition to being lost, occasionally excavated, are also harmful things pulled out of the tomb, but people in Japan, although they have not learned much, but the victory is well preserved, under the advantages of one and the other, but compared to Chinaγ
Lu Worm smashed me with his fingers, and said in his ear, "Brother Wu, these little Japan are doing things on the territory of Heihokusai, let's take care of it?"
I looked at Xiao Meng, he was also confused, after all, he was not a high-level in Heihokusai, and now he wanted to suppress people in the name of Pinghokusai, but he didn't expect the other party to be bigger, which would be quite a bit helpless. I gritted my teeth, "Help!"
Don't look at me in the battle between Heihokusai and the Imperial Pavilion and just want to stay out of the matter, that's because neither side is a good person, but no matter how bad it is, at least they are still Chinese, whoever loses face can't throw it outside, and now it's the Japanese who come to step on the plate, that nature is different, the national enemies and family hatred have just been together, and they can't stand idly by!
