Chapter 542: The Three Yin Festival of March
It is said that these millets are to pay tribute to the toll of those lonely ghosts, and it is said that on this day, the surrounding ghosts crawl out of the graves, and then wander around the residents' houses, looking for objects that can be reincarnated or possessed, and once the residents are on the top of the evil spirits, there will be all kinds of entanglements that cannot be shaken off, so people will scatter some millet along the perimeter of the house to pray that these evil spirits will quickly walk away after they have eaten and drunk.
If you have a little condition in the house, you can also burn some paper money without a name written in front of the house or find a tall locust tree under it, these are all to please those lonely souls and wild ghosts, because according to the local saying, the yīn festival is a festival specially given to lonely souls and wild ghosts by the lord of Yama, and often those ghosts with a lord will only come out on the Qingming Festival.
Although the living standard in the countryside has improved now, Uncle Xu has never believed in these so-called feudal ideas because he has been wandering outside when he was young and is still an admirable soldier, but with the increase of age and some strange things he has seen and heard, he is living in this circle after all, and it is inevitable that he will believe some things in his old age, and his attitude is that he would rather believe what he has than what he does not.
Originally, he still remembered this incident with his wife yesterday, but in the afternoon, after receiving a call from his nephew and knowing that there were guests coming from the city, he forgot about it for a while, and now he suddenly felt that his bones were trembling when he thought about it, if those children from the city had an accident, he had an unshirkable responsibility, thinking of this, Uncle Xu hurriedly asked his wife to take out some old things hidden at home, and wanted to go out to find Luo Ping.
Uncle Xu was skeptical of this thing, but his wife didn't believe it at all, because this Aunt Zheng was not an ordinary peasant woman, she was a senior intellectual who graduated from a famous university in Jiangcheng back then, and the reason why she stayed here was mainly because she was fascinated by Uncle Xu's handsome posture in the countryside in the past few years, so she settled here and later took her nephew over to live, and she liked it more than her mother's house, but some people felt that it was this kind of Halloween that she was not comfortable with. But every time I think of these are local customs, I don't care, but in recent years, my wife has gradually begun to believe in this thing, which makes her a little embarrassed, and there have been a few quarrels, of course, zuihou or the other party compromised.
"Why do you believe in these things more and more, when you were young, you were not afraid of heaven and earth." Aunt Zheng pushed her glasses and said helplessly: "I think those children are very measured, don't worry, so many years have passed, how can there be any ghosts and gods, they are just scaring themselves." ”
Uncle Xu is one of the best characters in the township in this life, but he is only obedient to his aunt, and what he admires most is the person who has a hua, so no matter how opposed Aunt Zheng's family was back then, he went to Zuihou to hug the beauty, which is enough to see how much he likes to turn into people, and now when he heard his wife start to reprimand himself again, he suddenly felt like a deflated balloon, so he had to sit back on the sofa stupidly, and took out his mobile phone to call Luo Ping.
"Ahh
Just when everyone was stared at by the clay statue and felt a little hairy in their hearts, suddenly a phone ringtone startled the women, especially the village method almost instinctively hid in Luo Ping's arms at the first time, and everyone was amazed by its speed, only Luo Ping knew that this was a tacit understanding formed during the previous great escape.
Seeing that it was Uncle Xu calling, Luo Ping hurriedly reported to the uncle that he was safe, and promised to go back immediately after finishing the fish and shrimp.
Uncle Xu thought that the national highway was being built in the field now, and logically speaking, those voices could still play a certain deterrent role in these lonely souls and wild ghosts, listening to Luo Ping's voice just now, nothing strange should happen, but I am afraid that I am really old and think too much.
After turning off the phone, Luo Ping continued to walk inside, in order not to make the village method startled again, he simply carried the girl on his back and asked her to close her eyes honestly.
It's the first time that Long Xin has met such a timid girl (Mura Fazi was furious, thinking to himself who Xu Ting, Anna, and Qiu Yuji you met before, they are just a geisha. I couldn't help but feel a little coke, but I didn't show it, but I was holding a small piece of peach wood in her hand, which was what her master and uncle told her, once she entered a place where yīn qi was very strong, peach wood was the most haode weapon.
Many people only know that the peach wood sword is a sharp weapon of the Taoist hand, but they don't know that in fact, the peach wood has been a ghost weapon before the Taoist priest, there was a saying at that time, the mulberry tree can gather ghosts, and the peach wood can resist ghosts, so often people will find that there are few big mulberry trees at the door of the house in the countryside, especially the kind of wild one, it is rumored that once the mulberry tree at the door of the house grows more than the roof of their house, the family will suffer a catastrophe, and sometimes even make a lot of death, many people are still convinced of this. And if you want to break this curse, in addition to cutting down this over-the-top mulberry tree in time, you must also plant a peach tree immediately, sometimes the yīn qi of the mulberry tree can even kill all the plants around it, but only the peach tree can grow unharmed, but this remedy is sometimes just a psychological comfort, because once the mulberry tree is over-topped, it means that the disaster is about to come.
Although this temple is not big and very dilapidated, the Pixiu on Luo Ping's chest is reacting more and more strongly, and Zuihou even has a feeling that he is about to break out, so that Luo Ping has to stop and carefully observe the surrounding environment.
"Ahh
Mura Fazi screamed again, but this time she really didn't blame her, when Luo Ping stopped, she was about to open her eyes to see where she saw, but suddenly a bat pounced out of the corner and grabbed her eyes, which was very scary.
"Ade, look for death."
Luo Ping also realized this, hurriedly turned around, and quickly avoided the ghost-headed bat.
Ghost head bats, also known as vampire bats, have a lot of legends about it in the folk, legend has it that they only gather in Buddhist doors and temples, of course, they are all destroyed Buddhist doors and temples, they will use the remaining Buddha qi and incense ambition to cultivate and grow, zuihou to form a terrifying vampire bat.
This ghost-headed bat couldn't hit it with a blow, and was about to bypass the dilapidated beam above to come back to the carbine, but he had already prepared how could Haode Longxin give him this chance, and the peach wood in his hand was directly aimed at the bat and threw it, but the bat screamed before it touched the peach wood, and then retracted its wings and fell.
"It's a ghost-headed bat, it's amazing!"
Seeing the ugly bat that fell in the place, Qiu Yuji was the first to step forward, and then quickly reported its scientific name, although her ability is not the largest, but it is definitely the widest range of knowledge, it is considered to be born in a professional class, and she has a very profound insight into biology and ancient tombs, otherwise she would not have been praised by her famous teacher back then, saying that she will definitely be an epoch-making coquetteer in the archaeological world in the future.
"This kind of bat is very unique at the moment of the bat, so far there are not too many of this bat found on shijie, and even thirty years ago, many Western scholars thought that this kind of bat was extinct, in fact, it is not, although it is difficult to see, but I have seen this kind of ghost bat in an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty before, but the size is not at all on the same level as this, this individual ghost bat does not know how many years it has lived, and I don't know how much blood it has sucked."
After listening to what Qiu Yuji said, everyone shrunk their necks, they didn't expect that this kind of bat was actually a ghost-headed bat that was about to become extinct.
"What is the habit of this bat?" Luo Ping asked seriously.
It's not that Luo Ping has never seen a bat before, even more than this strange-shaped bat, but he has never seen such a ferocious bat, and he actually grabbed it directly at the eyes of a person, and that gesture indicated that he was about to attack humans, and even wanted to suck blood.
"That's a very good question." Qiu Yuji nodded and continued: "The reason why this bat has attracted so many experts and scholars on Shijie is not because it can provide much reference in biology, but because its blood and violence have attracted everyone's attention, the teeth of this ghost-headed bat are two rows up and down, and the rarest and most frightening thing is that the distribution and serrations of these teeth are similar to those of humans, which is extremely terrifying, in addition to teeth, it also has a sharp weapon that is sharp claws like razors, Not only can it easily grasp soft substances such as wood, but it can also scratch hard rocks, very terrifying, of course, these are just weapons, many carnivorous bats on this shijie also have this kind of powerful weapon, its biggest difference is its bloodthirsty xìng, it has been called a dark bloodthirsty person by researchers in the circle for a long time, and its bloodthirstiness is not exaggerated compared to the sharks in the sea, or even more than that, Compared to sharks, they only attack their prey when they smell blood, or this proportion is larger, but these bats attack any creature, and their brains are very developed, and they know how to choose the weakest prey to attack, and often grab the enemy's vital part - the eye with one blow. ”
After listening to the village method, he stuck out his tongue and quickly got off Luo Ping's body, and Zuihou was wrapped in Luo Ping's clothes and hugged in his arms, so it was the safest.
"And what are the weaknesses of such a ghost-headed bat?"
Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to win a hundred battles, since you have just understood its ferocity, then you should understand its weaknesses next, and then prescribe the right medicine.
