Chapter 69: The Law of Soul Recovery
For Mary's words, King Jin Mu just smiled, no one understood the art of residing in the face, how could the secret of the green dragon be told to others.
For the Four Divine Beasts, Ouyang Yiming also had a lot of mysteries in his heart, and couldn't help but ask Steward Liu, "The Four Divine Beasts, is the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu also very powerful?" Ouyang Yiming asked, thinking that this question should not be too difficult to answer, after all, the green dragon and white tiger in front of him have appeared.
Steward Liu looked at Ouyang Yiming, knowing that it was normal for this child who had just entered the rivers and lakes to be a little curious, "Xuanwu, we are all familiar with each other, we are very kind, although our strength is amazing, we will not be enemies with others, Du Hui also respects him very much, this kind of murderous thing will not send Xuanwu." Vermilion Bird is the most mysterious of the four divine beasts, because no one has ever seen Vermilion Bird, and even Du Hui himself has said on some occasions that there are actually only three of the four divine beasts! ā
Ouyang Yiming wanted to ask something more, but he didn't know how to ask, could he still ask which one was powerful? What does this have to do with yourself? His own strength is not even worthy of shining the shoes of these people.
More than 20 days have passed since the attack in the mountains, and the territory of Anhui is even more chaotic than that of Jiangsu, and some of the victims who fell on the roadside did not know whether they were dead or alive, and they were still carrying some sacks. Ouyang Yiming walked over and kicked it, it was all banknotes.
Zhana picked up the banknote and looked at it, "This is all the money made by the warlord himself, and if the warlord falls, the money will be worthless!" These people took their life savings in exchange for a pile of straw paper, and they were reluctant to throw it away! Mary also seemed to be very sad about this scene.
How can there be so many starving and murdered people on this earth? Even a wild dog can come and eat humans, who are at the top of billions of creatures, are people inferior to dogs? Ouyang Yiming asked himself in his heart, and suddenly remembered what Hua Xiyue said that he couldn't understand.
At first, a few people would go and push the corpses lying on the ground from the road into the woods, but then they didn't pay attention to it, there were too many, and some of them didn't know what infectious diseases they were infected, and the stench made people afraid to approach.
Approaching the afternoon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and I saw the word "Anqing" engraved on the crooked boundary monument, and I knew that I had been deep into Anhui for a long time.
In these years, the people who can send such a big funeral are all big families, and if the poor can find a straw mat to wrap and bury it, it will be worthy of the dead. Ouyang Yiming suddenly became interested, and he used to often follow this funeral team to mix some wine and food.
Ouyang Yiming's mention yƬ everyone has no opinion, after all, all the way down is dry food, no decent town has ever encountered, and it is difficult to have a hot meal, and now follow this team to the house, a favor from the ocean, even if it is a passerby, the host will naturally not refuse.
I followed all the way, and finally arrived in the village, I don't know what kind of village it is, there are a few families in total, but this village is obviously not poor, every household is a brick house with a grass-roofed yard, compared to the Jiangnan has been too much, and it is not easy to have such a village in this troubled era.
The monks at the door chanted the scriptures and beat the gongs, a few make-up actors sang and cheered, and white curtains hung everywhere, and there should be a lot of rituals, but the strange thing is that the host family didn't know why he invited a few goddesses to jump around there, and it was like the exorcism ceremony in the countryside.
"Shouldn't this man be overdone when he dies? How can there be a goddess? Ouyang Yiming's question is also everyone's question, except for that Mary who doesn't understand, Steward Liu and Zhana both know that although the customs are different in different places, there will never be their own family members who start to exorcise ghosts when their ancestors just died.
Steward Liu pondered for a while, "It's possible that this dead person is unusual, or that the death is abnormal." ā
Several people were silent and watched quietly. After a while, those guests sat down, and it was so lively that it looked like a dead person, but like a happy event, and you toasted him and persuaded him to drink.
Ouyang Yiming also walked over with a smile on his face, looked for the master's family and didn't know what to say, and gave the master's family a piece of ocean, then ran back proudly, and called a few people to sit at an empty table and eat and drink.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes are six products, but they are also very rich, and a few people are happy to eat, but they have to cry after eating, and several people have to cry after eating.
After crying for a while, the monk suddenly stopped knocking and stopped reciting the scriptures. An old mother-in-law walked out, the mother-in-law was not tall, and her waist was a little bent, but her steps were very light, and what made people feel special was that the mother-in-law's eyes were as bright as stars, and she seemed to be able to penetrate her heart when she looked at people.
The master lifted out a water tank, and the two mirrors faced each other and sandwiched the tank in between. The old woman took the black robe from the hand of a woman behind her, put on the black hat and began to burn the yellow yuan paper, there were some runes on the rune paper, but no one in the group had ever seen this thing, and they all looked at the old lady intently.
Ouyang Yiming didn't want to watch it, after all, there were a lot of funeral burners, but he didn't know what customs were in this village, how could there be such a set of tricks, so he also sat down and watched.
Starting from the few people who wore linen and filial piety, they took turns walking to the water tank and the mirror, and those people began to cry, and they were still saying something to the mirror, and none of them seemed to be able to see anything in the mirror.
Ouyang Yiming also walked slowly with the crowd, getting closer and closer to the water tank and the mirror, Ouyang Yiming saw that there was nothing in the mirror at all, just two ordinary mirrors, but why did the person in front of him cry like a tearful person, as if he really saw something.
When it was Ouyang Yiming's turn, the old lady suddenly looked at Ouyang Yiming, and said in a low voice, "You will see what you want to see!" After speaking, Ouyang Yiming looked at the mirror again, and a vague figure slowly emerged inside, it was Mrs. Chen's appearance, Mrs. Chen was waving her hand to herself, and then the girl also appeared, still smiling at Ouyang Yiming.
"What's going on?" Ouyang Yiming retreated in fright, he was not afraid of Mrs. Chen, but he was really frightened when he saw the dead person.
Ouyang Yiming believed in ghosts and gods, after all, no one in that era did not believe in ghosts and gods, but how many people were not afraid of ghosts and gods when they really saw them, Ouyang Yiming's appearance made several people very surprised, and they were about to come around to see what was going on.
A thin man from the main family suddenly ran up, pulled Ouyang Yiming out, and then said very rudely to the other four, "Stranger, you can't look at it!" ā
