Chapter 52: The Hidden Story
Your Excellency's means are not low, you raised those things that are not human ghosts and ghosts just now. ”
The man laughed a few times when I heard what I said, and said, "I don't think you're a bad person, so let me tell you, those are my people." ”
I was taken aback and took two steps back and said: "Your Excellency is really a master, your people have been made by you to be no one or a ghost, and you really did it, although I Lei Yunzi is not a sage, but I also know the flesh and blood affection, you do such a hurtful thing, I am ashamed of you to speak here, farewell." With that, I turned and left.
"Friend, slow down, listen to me before you leave, there is a hidden secret in it." I stopped again, turned around and said, "Tell me, there's something in there that makes you do this." I'll leave after listening. ”
"Twenty years ago, when I was 15 years old, and it was autumn, I went hunting in the mountains with my father, and when we came back after dark, we saw that the village was surrounded by a group of people. My father told me to hide in a small forest more than a mile away from the village and go back to the village alone to see what was going on, because my mother and sister were in the village. ”
"I waited for a long time, and I didn't see my father come back until dark, so I came to the edge of the village, and by that time the people who had surrounded the village had already withdrawn, and they were all in the village. I sneaked into the house from behind, and saw that my mother and sister were gone, and neither was my father. ”
"You also saw that our village is not big, there is a big tree in our yard, I climbed up the tree, only to see that the whole village is at this crossroads, surrounded by a group of people with knives, and a few Taoist priests, who can't see what they are holding in their hands, walk in front of one person after another, and after they walk, the person falls. I also saw my sister, my father, and my mother fall, and I didn't go out, and I didn't dare to make a sound, because the streets were full of their people. ”
"It wasn't until the time of the Son that those people left, and at this time, my people had fallen to the ground, and when they left, I came here and saw that my people were all dead, and I held my mother and cried for a long time, until there were no tears, and I looked at the more than a hundred people who had fallen, and I swore to take revenge."
"At dawn, I thought how to bury them, I can't smash the corpse here, just when I got up to look for tools, I saw a Taoist priest from outside the village, I thought it was those people who came back, picked up the bow and arrow and shot over, the man didn't pay attention, I was shot in the arm by an arrow, the Taoist priest is very high, before my second arrow was ready, he ran to me in a few strokes and threw me to the ground. Asked me why I shot him, I said look at these dead people underground, I shot you or lightly I want to kill you, the man stepped on the hand where I was going to draw a knife with his foot and said, little brother, you have wronged me, I am passing by, how did these people die, who is so ruthless to kill so many people at once, even children. I told him what I saw last night. After hearing this, the Taoist priest scolded me and said to me, my people can't be buried, they are not just dead, but their souls have also been taken away, if I bury them, they will not be reincarnated, and they will be wandering ghosts and wild ghosts forever. ”
"I listened to him, so I asked him if he knew who did it, and he said, he didn't know who did it, but he knew this kind of evil art, which was an evil art of the southwestern barbarians, and collected people's souls to go to the Yin soldiers."
"The man saw that I was pitiful, so he accepted me as an apprentice, he said that his name is Lan Daoxing, from Shandong, this time he entered Beijing, because he didn't like to take the bustling avenue, so he took the small road, and came here."
"The master taught me how to keep the corpses of my clansmen from rotting, and also laid them for me in the village, the Nine Turns Ecstasy Array, so that people will not be found in the village, and if you can't enter the village, the formation is doing trouble."
After listening to the man, I came to the stone pier again: "After so many years, why haven't you let them settle in the ground?" ”
"My master, lived here for a while, taught me a lot of spells, and went to Beijing, he said let me, wait for him here, he went to the capital to listen to the news, to see who is doing this evil magic, the master left two years later, came back once, told me, I heard a little news but not exactly, it seems to be related to Yan Song, the master also left me more than 1,000 taels of silver, let me burn paper money twice a month to my people, and then left, never came back. I have been waiting here for eighteen years, except for going to the town to buy some burning paper and daily necessities, and I don't know if the master will come. ”
I said, "I will definitely come, if I don't come back, it will be an accident, I will go to the capital this time, and I will inquire with you by the way." My name is Lei Yunzi, and I am also a Taoist priest, but I am not familiar with your master, it should not be from our Laoshan faction, and I don't know your honorable name. ”
"My name is ***, and the master gave me a Taoist name called Feng Ling, saying that I still have two senior brothers, one is called Feng Yu and the other is called Feng Jie. But I haven't seen them either, and they may not know I exist. You wait a minute, I have collected the formation, it is not early, you go to my place to rest, drink some water and eat something. ”
After speaking, *** got up and climbed to the top of the flagpole, and I saw that I don't know when he had hung a flag on the flagpole.
That *** is good, he took the flag down in a few clicks, and then saw that the black fog in the village had dissipated, the moonlight was not red, the white moon shone down, and the village returned to its original appearance.
After packing up my things, he led me to the north of the village, where there was a thatched hut five hundred meters from the village. I opened the door and went in to light the lamp, and I looked around, but saw that the room was very clean, except for a kang and a pot, there was no furniture, not even a stool. But it's Lilisoso who cleans up.
I sat down on the edge of the kang, and *** went outside to get firewood, added water to the pot, and boiled it.
After a while, the water boiled, and *** said: "Brother Lei, my conditions here are not good, so let's leave it at that, if you are hungry or not, I will make you something to eat." ”
"No need Brother Li, just drink some water, I have to hurry in a while, a few of my friends bypassed the village and went to the front."
"Brother Lei, don't worry, let's go again at dawn, you haven't walked it, you don't know the road, and it's not easy to go any further."
I took the boiled water in a big bowl, and said guiltily: "I don't even have some tea here, I'm sorry, Brother Lei." ”
I also politely said, "It's okay." ”
After drinking some water, I got up and said goodbye, Wei Zihan and they were still worried about me in front, I couldn't sit still.
See I'm leaving. He also got up and took down his bow and arrows from the wall, and put them on his back, and said; "Brother Lei, I'll give you a ride, you don't know the road ahead, I'm fine anyway."
Leading the way in front, the two of us followed the path by moonlight and walked in the direction of the capital.
