Chapter 44 Self-Statement

() The 'mother-in-law' broke the ghost-possessed body of Sikong Yu with a raise of her hand, and now it is naturally easy to kill him. When Sikong forgive thought of death, he was so unwilling in his heart that he struggled desperately: "I can't die, you can't kill me." The 'mother-in-law' sneered: "You are also afraid of death? Sikong begged, "Please...... Please raise your noble hand and let my lady go first, not afraid of death, but after death, I have the trust of my mother. Although Sikong forgive didn't know the origin of this woman, she was naïve about herself, so she naturally knew that it was very difficult to provoke, so she had to whisper and mourn.

As soon as he let go of Sikong Liang's hand, Sikong Liang's body was soft, half lying on the ground and panting, although he was only casting the ghost attachment for a while, he was more wolf than being stabbed by Fang Zhong a few times, and his face was even more bloodless, and it was terrifying to be white, just as the 'mother-in-law' said, his ghost possession was not jīng, yīn yang disorder, and it had already harmed itself. The 'mother-in-law' let Sikong forgive, but looked at the female ghost caught in her hand carefully. The female ghost is ten years old, with a delicate face, but she has a sad appearance, and even a black hair has grown into white silk. Although yīn qi is heavy, it does not have much anger. Sikong Liang replied a little jīng god, and said humbly: "I was originally a scholar, I only read sage books in my life, I don't know the rights and wrongs of the world, I have always been taken care of by my lady." The lady worked hard for me, but I didn't realize it, she begged God to worship the Buddha, hoping that I would be able to get ahead one day, but I couldn't do anything but poetry. I covet comfort and don't want to forge ahead, the burden of the family is on her alone, and I only say that there is a golden house in the book, there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and I am even more convinced of the self-married lady; But although Yan Ruyu has it, the golden house in the book can't be exchanged for firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the lady has been in Zhang Luo since she came to my house, and I didn't know that the family had reached the point where there was no rice for cooking. It was not easy for this burden to be on her shoulders alone, but I petitioned the Buddha when I visited the temple, and the monks in the temple boasted that as long as three hundred taels of silver were used to decorate the Buddha's golden body, he would be able to gain fame and fortune in less than three years. At that time, I promised to come down, and when I returned home, I told my lady that she would go to the temple to send three hundred taels of silver. The lady didn't say a word at the time, I thought it was not difficult, but I didn't take it to heart after saying it. But after counting the rì, I accidentally found that my lady's black hair had changed her face, and the green silk had turned white. When the 'mother-in-law' heard this, she sneered: "That must be her sorrow." Sikong forgave and said with great remorse: "I didn't know why, but I also said that she was easy to grow old, it was because of herself, and I still had a lot of complaints about her." until her black hair turned gray, and her gray hair turned white, and she withered before she grew old...... I...... I even said something that made her sad for the rest of her life. I say...... Three years later, I was a man of fame, and she was so incompatible with me that I wanted to divorce her and marry another wife. ”

The 'mother-in-law' said, "You divorced her?" Sikong forgave and said: "Yes, I might as well forgive the beast and drive her out." But when she really left, I realized that I didn't know the truth that firewood and rice were expensive, and without my wife at home, not to mention taking out the three hundred taels of silver, I wouldn't even be able to eat a full meal. It was then that I realized how difficult it was to run my family, and after a few months, I regretted it. I wanted to find her back, but I couldn't put this face aside, until a monk came to the door and asked me for the remaining ten taels of wishing money, saying that it was about to accumulate good fruits, and I couldn't give up halfway, why didn't my lady go to the temple for seven consecutive years to worship, I realized that she was still repaying the three hundred taels of silver for me. And she must go to the temple every rì, and after praying to the Buddha, she will offer a rì income. I heard the monk say that he had not been to the temple for seven years, and I was worried that she would have any accidents, so I hurriedly went out to look for her, and made up my mind that I would treat her well no matter what she became. I searched all over the town and asked if I had seen a white-haired woman, some said I had seen it in a wine shop, some people said I had seen it in the neighborhood when I arrived at the wine store, and some people said I had seen it in the neighborhood, but in fact, when I finally found her, it was in a dilapidated village. And she was lying on the coffin board, she was already exhausted, the oil ran out, and she couldn't get up and talk anymore. I cried bitterly in front of my mother, begging her to forgive me for what I had done, and only then did I know that she was like this because I listened to the words of the monks in the temple and made a three-year wish. ”

The 'mother-in-law' said coldly: "What does this have to do with the monk, if it weren't for your own badness, it wouldn't be like this." Sikong forgave but said angrily: "It's just that the monk is not good!" When I found the lady, she had not entered the water, if it wasn't for the fact that the wish had passed away long ago, she didn't blame me when she saw me, but was sad that she couldn't help me fulfill the wish of the past three years, where did such a good lady go to find? My wife and I are both people who believe in the Buddha, but the Buddha actually made such a joke about us, if it is at the cost of my mother's life in exchange for my fame in three years, then I would rather not. I rushed to the temple where I made a wish overnight, kneeling and begging the Buddha to be sincere with me and my mother. When I knelt in front of the Buddha and said what I said, the monk listened, and not only did he not sympathize with me, but laughed at me, saying that he had said that he had said that he had three hundred taels of silver to accumulate good fruits, and since he had no money, he would give up. This monk, he deceived me in the name of the Buddha, how can he not be hated. It's just that he harmed me, my lady is such a good person, after listening to my words, I am convinced, and I spend all my heart and soul to ask for this wish, but in the end it is still a flowing water and an empty, is it that the sentient beings in the eyes of the Buddha are also divided into high and low, depending on the fate of people. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I killed the monk with a sharp blade, and I broke the altar and vowed not to believe in Buddhism again. But killing the monk can't save my mother, and it's hard to repay what I owe her, and it's hard to repay it in my lifetime, even in the yīn world. I just want to be with her in this life and this life, and she doesn't give up on me, and I don't give up on her, what can I do in this world to let her and I break through life and death and stay together? ”

"When I returned to Yizhuang, I had already made up my mind to die, as long as the lady went, I would accompany her to Huangquan, even if it was just all the way, it was better than leaving me alone to suffer in the world. Just as I was about to cut myself, I came across someone who came to collect the corpses, and these people were all from the Ghost Hall, and they would drag the corpses from the Yizhuang away every once in a while...... My lady has not yet lost her breath, so naturally she will not let them take her away, and under the noise, she alarmed a leader outside. The man was the owner of the altar, and after listening to my story, he praised me for killing the monk and destroying the Buddha, so he passed me an incense burner, saying that if you want to keep my lady by your side, this is the only way, that is, to accept my lady as my ghost when she is angry. My wife passed away with a smile on her face, just because she also believed that I would give her happiness. ”
