Chapter 6: The Five Great Immortals
"Monster!" Hu Gang frowned and said, "How is it possible, the winding on the gloomy wood is not demonic at all!"
"Maybe it's really a secret hidden in this coffin, a monster accidentally entered here, found something in the coffin, and entered the coffin caused this monster to change, the archaeological team died overnight, maybe after opening the coffin, the monster inside was alarmed." Chen Zhan said, "The corpse of the deer we saw just now had its stomach disemboweled, and its internal organs were eaten, and no carnivore has this habit. ”
Chen Zhan's words made Hu Gang frown and fall into deep thought, Zhang Guofeng saw that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and asked, "Monsters are those things mentioned in the story?" It's hard to deal with?"
"Let's go out, talk as we go, it's not all like the story." Chen Zhan explained as he walked, "The so-called monster refers to the fact that animals have given birth to spirit bones or plants have given birth to spiritual veins, absorb the essence of heaven and earth aura, and slowly have the Tao to open up the spiritual aura, they are born with limited qualifications, and if they want to become monsters, they will act against the sky, and they will go through many difficulties and tempering. ”
"And plants want to become monsters are a hundred times more difficult than animals, often need a chance to have a glimmer of hope, plants often have a way, and there is no enlightenment, we also reluctantly turn them into monsters, in China, the real monsters made of plants can be counted with ten fingers, they don't like to move, they have been staying where they are, since the monsters that appear here have been going around in circles with lao Hu them, this proves that the guy has opened the spiritual knack, and it should also be a monster turned into an animal!"
"Then what kind of animal is this monster?" Zhao Guofeng asked.
"Among the animals, there are mainly five kinds of animals that can become monsters!" At this time, the three of them had already come out of the big hole in the ancient tomb, and Hu Gang lit a cigarette and said, "Foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and mice, you should have heard of them." ”
Hu Gang saw that Zhao Guofeng didn't understand a little, and said, "That is, the five immortals that people worshiped in the past." Zhao Guofeng immediately realized.
"Foxes are called fox fairies, weasels are called yellow fairies, hedgehogs are called white fairies, mice are called gray fairies, and snakes are called willow fairies in the south and evergreen fairies in the north. Since ancient times, monsters have retained their wild nature, and generally like to cause trouble everywhere, so the two families of Buddhism and Taoism will have the responsibility of killing demons and demons, killing monsters everywhere, and later these monsters and Buddhism reached a consensus, as long as they don't go to trouble, the two families of Buddhism and Taoism will not shoot at them, and then people worship them with things, and they will also protect these people, and gradually become known as the five immortals. ”
Hu Gang paused and continued, "With the development of time, these five kinds of monsters have all moved to the northeast to live, because there are dragon veins in the northeast, and the aura of heaven and earth is stronger, and there are few people there. ”
"In the book, there are only three of the five immortals who like to eat people's souls, the fox fairy, the yellow fairy and the willow fairy, plus the death of the deer is very likely to be the fox fairy and the yellow fairy." Chen Zhan looked at the deer corpse in the distance and said.
"Now that we've determined what we're doing, it's much better now!" Hu Gang said sharply.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but think of a story he told him when he was a child, when Chen Zhan was only ten years old, and one night he couldn't sleep, so he said to his master, "Master, I can't sleep, you can tell me a story!"
"Storytelling? Okay, master, I'll tell you about an incident when I was a child. ”
Chen Zhan's master recalled, "I used to live in a coastal city in the south, my mother is from Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, I remember that the year it happened was 1956, when I was fifteen years old, because my mother had not been back to her hometown for a long time, she wanted to go back to her hometown to visit her grandmother, and I also wanted to play at that time, and immediately supported it." ”
"My grandmother's family lives in a rural area called Wangjiatun on the outskirts of Jinzhou, which is at the foot of the mountain. The main house has eleven rooms, the east wing has two rooms, and the west wing is a stable. My grandmother was naturally very happy to see me coming, and arranged for me to be in the main hall of the main house. The bed on the northeast side is made of earth, and it is called a "kang" there, and it is about five meters long and two meters wide. When I went to bed, I could sleep several people at the same time, and my grandmother was afraid that I would feel lonely when I first arrived in the Northeast, so she called my cousin to talk to me. When it was time to rest at night, there were six people sleeping on the kang, in order, grandma, my mother, me, my cousin, my little cousin, and grandpa. ”
"Sleeping on the big kang at night, warm under the body, as soon as I stick to the kang I can't help sleeping, into sleep, I don't know how long it took, I suddenly heard a woman's scream in the haze, followed by the sound of a bowl breaking, I woke up, my first consciousness at the time was, is it not the neighbors are quarreling, so I opened my eyes, ready to untie a little hand, as soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a thing crawling on my body, I thought it was a mistake, closed my eyes, opened it again, this time I saw it clearly, It's a black animal, the hair on its body is reflected in the dark moonlight, it looks very soft, the hair is very good, the two eyes are green, it's staring at me, I feel that I was a little blinded at that time, where did this cat come from? They all crawled into bed. But when I thought about it, no, my grandmother didn't have a cat at home, not to mention that the animal was bigger than a cat, and what was even stranger was that I didn't feel any weight on my body at all. ”
"Master, what kind of animal is that?" Chen Zhan asked.
"Don't interrupt, listen to me slowly, I didn't feel scared at the time, I was a little curious, I wanted to make sure, I raised my hand and rubbed my confused eyes, and when I opened it again, I saw it slowly pacing down from me, and stepping on my cousin, it looked at me lazily, jumped out of bed, and then I heard the back door bang, and it was opened and closed."
"I've been curious since I was a child, and I want to figure out what I see clearly, otherwise I can't sleep, so I got up, woke up my grandma, and said that I was going to untie my little hands, and grandma got up and took a flashlight and went with me, at that time there was no electricity in the countryside, I walked to the back door with my grandma, I saw that the back door was well closed, and it was locked inside, I pushed the lock open, and walked to the vegetable garden to make it convenient, grandma shone it on me with a flashlight on the side, and from the flashlight, I saw beans, tomatoes, cabbage, and so on in the vegetable garden, The light of the flashlight was not particularly bright, and the shadows of those plants were everywhere, and I couldn't see anything at all, so I went back after I finished my hand.
"When I got up in the morning for breakfast, I told my grandmother about the last night, and the whole family, including my mother, looked at me strangely, and no one explained it. I was confused, I really couldn't figure out how the "cat" could have no weight, and that he would unlock the back door and lock the door from the inside. I held it for two days because of this, and even my mother didn't want to tell me about it. ”
"Finally, I went to the store and bought two pieces of candy and bought my seven-year-old cousin, who took me to a small room on the edge of the main house, which was always locked, and my cousin pointed and said, 'Grandpa, Grandpa is inside, Grandma said that Grandpa came to see you that day, and you haven't been home for a long time.'" At that time, I wondered in my heart, is there someone in this small room? I crawled by the door and listened for a long time, but there was no movement inside. So I decided to steal the key and go inside, and when my grandmother was napping, I was able to take the key out of her pants pocket. Ran to the small room and unlocked it. As soon as I opened the door I was disappointed. There was nothing in it, only a kang as big as a double bed, and on the table next to the kang was placed a tablet that read, 'Godfather Fox Immortal Hu Dahai Spirit Seat.' ’”
"I didn't understand what that meant, so I secretly returned the key, and I didn't dare to ask, and when I got home from Jinzhou, I asked my mother again. This time my mother was willing to say, tell me that Hu Dahai is a fox fairy in our family, grandma's youngest son is my little uncle who once fell into the river when he was a child, and he was about to be washed away by the water, most of us northerners don't know how to be watery, so we can only be anxious next to it, grandma has been crying in my grandfather's arms At this time, my uncle, who had sunk into the water, suddenly surfaced again, and slowly floated to the shore, and the people on the shore saw a pair of plush hands holding my uncle underwater. According to the uncle after returning to the shore, he fell down and drank several sips of water, and suddenly he was lifted out of the water, and the man said, 'My name is Hu Dahai, don't be afraid, I will send you ashore, but I want to have a place to eat incense in your house, and when you go back, ask your mother to give me a seat.' ’”
My mother continued, because our village is at the foot of the mountain, there are many legends about the fox fairy in our village at that time, and the people in the village said that the fox fairy saved my uncle, so my grandmother asked my uncle to worship the fox fairy as a godfather, and offered a god position at home. It is also strange to say, in 1947, grandma's family rebuilt the house, after the drawings were drawn, the fox fairy's room was built first, because other houses were not completed at that time, many things could only be put in the fox fairy's room first, grandpa inadvertently put a bag of 100 catties of rice on the kang in that room, for the workers who built the house and their own family to cook and eat, ate for 2 months, and always can't finish eating, every time the rice scooped out in the bag, go back and scoop again, there are still so many left. According to the normal amount of food for so many people, it will be eaten in less than a week. Later, your cousin, your grandmother's eldest grandson, saw that the rice was in the house, and he was afraid that the weather would be wet and moldy, so he took it out of the yard and dried it, and when he took it back, the rice was eaten up in a few days. ”
"Why did you suddenly eat it up, you haven't eaten it all before?" Chen Zhan asked puzzled.
"Hehe, if the rice bag is moved casually, the fox fairy's spell will not work." The master said with a smile.
"And after that?"
"No more, okay, the story is over, it's time for you to sleep!"
