Chapter 144: The Legend of the Yin Soldiers
The girl in Miao Yi has a crisp voice, like a pearl falling on a jade plate, which is pleasing to the eye, and her local dialect sounds unique!
She called the fat boy a donkey, which is actually a Miao surname.
Ancient Han Chinese literature contains:
The Miao people "have a name but no surname", and marriage does not avoid the same surname.
This is because the Miao people have two surnames, one is the Miao surname and the other is the Han surname.
And this guy is one of the Miao surnames.
I grew up in Chenzhou since I was a child, and I have practiced for a few years in the deep mountains near Zhangjiajie, and I have been to Miaojiang a few times with the old man traffickers, so I am still a little familiar with the southwestern official dialect they speak, at least I can guess the general meaning.
At this time, listening to the girl in Miao Yi's reprimand, the fat boy turned around and smiled slyly at her, and pointed at the Gu corpse with the piccolo in his hand and replied:
"Sister, look! Isn't Da Baoha controlled by Russian money...... Hahaha, it seems that Russian kung fu counts, and money can be used as a talisman!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the girl to say anything, bowed to me generously, and said to me in standard Mandarin:
"Pan Mazi of Bainiaozhai, I have seen Brother Dingmen in the Central Plains! The corpse chaser you are looking for is my grandfather!"
As he spoke, he turned to the side again, and while laughing, he pointed to the girl in Miao Yi and said:
"This is my sister-Peniel!"
The girl in Miao Yi listened, squatted slightly with her hands on her knees from a distance, and then walked to Pan Mazi's side a few steps, and her jade hand quickly pulled his ear, which made Pan Mazi scream again and again!
The Miao girl has a bold temperament and is not twisted, knowledgeable and playful.
Peniel's name is as nice as it is for her generous and hot nature!
Heavenly Master Zhang approached me and said softly:
"These two siblings have a good relationship, alas...... I really envy people who have relatives!"
I was a little confused, what does this mean, does she have no relatives?
Heavenly Master Zhang didn't say anything again, silently watching Pan Mazi's sister and brother fighting.
Within a few minutes, Pan Mazi begged for mercy, and stretched out his hand to us with a handful of snot and tears on his fat face, and said politely:
"A few Daoist brothers, please come in! hehehe...... Our two siblings are used to fighting, don't look at my temporary loss today, hum hum! Yesterday, her ass was swollen by my kick!"
When Penielle heard this, she frowned and stepped forward with a kick that hit him in the calf!
"Smack!"
Pan Mazi's fat body shook and then half-knelt on the ground, and he turned back unconvinced:
"What are you doing with me, I'm not wrong!"
Peniel's face flushed with anger, she looked at us embarrassedly, and raised her hand to strike again.
At this time, Celestial Master Zhang stepped forward and grabbed Peniel and looked at her carefully.
When I got closer, I realized that this Peniel's appearance can be called the pearl of the world, out of the world!
She was not tall, but between fifteen and eighteen years old.
A fiery red Miao women's dress just shows the girl's bumpy figure.
She is petite and smart, and at the moment when she started beating Pan Mazi, she also revealed a kind of arrogance and persistence unique to the Miao people.
Especially the pair of dark eyes on her face, dark and deep, and the pupils like black jewels shone with the blinking of eyelashes!
And Pan Mazi is more ordinary than her, but it makes me wonder in my heart: There is no pockmark on his face, why is he called Pan Mazi?
Pan Mazi took us into the bungalow, and a circle of small stools without chairs surrounded by the fire pit in the middle of the house, a breath of peasant life.
Sit down, serve tea, and toast shisha...... Pan Mazi was busy with his hands and feet, but his mouth did not stop, and he said to me:
"This Daoist brother must be Shi Lao's disciple, Senior Brother Chen! He mentioned it when he came to my grandfather last time...... It's really taller and stronger than me, hehehe!"
I drank my tea and asked with a smile:
"I'm sorry, it's the first time I've come, I don't know each other! We are the same age, I'll call you Senior Brother Pan! This time, the master left me a message to find here, hehehe!"
"I don't know my master...... And your grandfather, are they in any danger?"
I asked again.
Pan Mazi listened, looked at the clock hanging on the wall unhurriedly, and replied:
"It's still early, wait two more hours, let's go!"
I'm confused again......
When he was done, he sat down next to me with a piccolo, looked at me and smiled:
"Shi Lao came to my grandfather six days ago, saying that he was going to the Ghost Gate Pass to save someone! Then he told me and Sister A, let you rest when you get here, and then rush to meet at midnight!"
Seeing that I was still puzzled, he scratched his head and said embarrassedly:
In fact...... I don't know what it was......!
It turned out that the old man trafficker and Pan Mazi's grandfather had known each other for a long time.
Six days ago, the old man trafficker suddenly arrived and invited Pan Mazi's grandfather to save people, as for who it was, Pan Mazi said he didn't know, it seemed to be a woman!
(I nodded secretly, it should be Ning Qing'er who was saved!...... Why did the old man trafficker know Ning Qing'er?)
Pan Mazi also told me that when the old man came he was fully armed, and in addition to a Taoist weapon, he actually carried explosives!
He discussed with Grandpa Pan Mazi for a while, and left after lunch.
Before leaving, the old man told the Pan siblings that his apprentice, that is, me, would come over within a week.
And if they haven't been gone for more than seven days, be sure to take me to the Ghost Gate before midnight...... Standby station
There's only so much information!
Ren Pan Mazi searched for dry intestines again, and he couldn't remember more details.
After listening to this, I thought to myself:
Six days ago?
This is consistent with what Lao Wang next door told me about the time when the old man trafficker disappeared!
So, how did the traffickers know my phone number?
You know, the idea of buying a mobile phone that day, I was completely whimsical!
Also, since he knows my number, why only text and not call?
Don't...... Could it be that they, like Elder He, are trapped in some special environment and cannot speak?
Then, Pan Mazi said that he brought explosives!!
Explosives were hard to come by in the late nineties, unless you had a government background or military resources, and they were rarely used by people in the Daomen, unless you needed to blow up mountains or dig holes......
In the end, "I didn't leave for more than seven days"!
That's interesting!
Seven-day ......
If you count today, then after tonight, it will be the eighth day!
It seems that tonight is the key!
Pan Mazi chatted with me for a while and went to prepare dinner, and She Shangguo and I stopped him vigorously, saying that we had eaten, but there was no way, he insisted on making it for us to taste!
Heavenly Master Zhang and Penier got together and chatted, and Peniel repeated Pan Mazi's words to us again, and specially introduced the place we are going to - Ghost Gate!
She roasted sweet potatoes for us while pulling on the fire, and spoke in a crisp lark-like voice......
Ghost Gate, this is indeed a place name, ten miles east of the town.
And this infiltrating place name comes from a mysterious phenomenon!
Ghost Gate Pass is a semi-circular deep valley full of mystery, three sides are cliffs, only one side of the mountain has a gap, you can lanyard to the bottom of the bay overlook, because the gap is like a city wall checkpoint so named!
But what is at the bottom of the depression, the locals can't tell!
Penielle also said that the bay is bottomless and mysterious. Sometimes the sun shines brightly, and sometimes the wind is gusting, and the fog and rain continue.
What's even more amazing is that as long as a creature or person approaches the bay, there will be a faint sound of gongs and drums, people shouting and neighing, and it seems that thousands of troops and horses are fighting endlessly!
And the most legendary is the local people's saying about the "Ghost Gate" Yin soldiers borrowing the way!
To put it bluntly, it means to see the Yin soldiers of the underworld walking in the inaccessible forest or in the vast fields!
After thousands of years of dynasties (25 dynasties) in the land of China, various cultures and civilizations have blended and mixed, giving birth to countless strange and strange things caused by cultural collisions, and the Yin Soldier is one of the best!
According to legend, the Yin Soldiers' Borrowing Incident often precedes the catastrophe, and the famous "Tangshan Earthquake" reported this event.
But compared to the well-known "Tangshan earthquake", I prefer to use the Forbidden City as an analogy.
Now the Forbidden City is already a tourist attraction, and it is usually cleared after four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and no longer accepts tourists.
Since then, some staff members often encounter unbelievable things:
For example, there is a fleeting figure of a palace maid and eunuch;
There were screams and cries like being beaten;
There were bands of soldiers, walking in the empty alleys;
There are also reprimands or coughs from the spacious palace......
In fact, no matter how you explain this seeping phenomenon, it is difficult to be convinced!
For example, some experts have pointed out that this is actually because most of the walls of the Forbidden City are vermilion or painted with substances rich in chemical components.
And it just so happens that this substance can be like a cassette tape in the environment of lightning and thunder, with the function of recording sound and pictures!
Then, at a certain moment, perhaps a cloudless and clear day, or a silent night, the tape will replay the previous scenes and sounds due to factors such as humidity, temperature, or magnetic fields in the air at that time!
And for our Dao Sect, there are actually only two possibilities for Yin soldiers borrowing the Tao and these strange phenomena!
The first is obsession and resentment!
Whether it is a soldier who died in battle, or a eunuch and palace maid who was imprisoned in the deep palace, their thinking before death was extremely persistent, or extremely simple.
And it is precisely because of their simple obsession that in the short time after death, and even in the long time period of time and space, although their souls have entered the underworld, that trace of obsession still remains here.
They will also think that they are not dead, and they will continue to do their work and maintain their honor with a spear or a daily paraphernalia!
This kind of phenomenon does not make us afraid and afraid, on the contrary, many Taoist priests will respect this phenomenon!
You think, even after death, a person is still willing to incarnate a dark obsession and continue his unfinished mission somewhere, this dedication and spirit are comparable to the yin and yang adherence of the way of heaven - balance!
There is another kind, the underworld is yin!
This kind of yin is sent into the human world by the underworld, and most of them occur before or during the disaster!
After the disaster occurs, many souls who have died in vain will be concentrated in one place, which is extremely dangerous for heaven and humanity, and one carelessness will brew peerless fierce ghosts and powerful ghosts, which is extremely difficult to do!
There is only one thing for these evil ghost soldiers to come to the human world - to detain the soul!
Whether you deserve to die or not, the facts have been created, and no matter how much you hesitate and linger, you can't regain your yang.
In order to prevent these souls from gathering for too long, and in order to maintain the normalcy of the Three Realms, these Yin Evil Ghost Soldiers would forcibly escort them on the road, either in a line, or in mid-air, and march straight to Huangquan Road......
All the way to Huangquan Road, the relatives are miserable and sad.
The ghosts of the dead in vain remembered that everything had come to an end, how could they not attract the clouds and gloom......
