Chapter 6 The Four Demons: Rakshasa Bird
Legend has it that there is a bird that is transformed by the yin qi in the tomb and takes on a human form on weekdays. Like to eat people's eyes, everyone who encounters this bird has become blind without exception. Some people say that this bird eats the eyes of scum. Some people say that it simply likes to eat people's eyes.
Remember, in the middle of the night...... Don't go out! In the middle of the night, the bird will take on a human form and meet you.
On this day, a scholar who was rushing to the capital to take the exam. Unfortunately, it was late at night, and I was in a deep mountain. Just when I was worried and scared, a woman wearing a red dress with an umbrella came in front of me.
The woman walked up to the scholar, covered her face with an umbrella and said to him, "Childe, it's late at night." Why did the only son stay alone in the mountains? ”
This scholar is also puzzled, how can someone hold an umbrella in the middle of the night? And still wearing red clothes? "Xiaosheng is going to the capital to take the exam, but unfortunately he passed by here today. I didn't know the time, but I didn't know it was late at night. Why is the girl alone in the mountains? ”
"Little Girl...... Hehehe! Somehow, the woman suddenly let out an eerie laugh.
"Girl?" There's nothing wrong with this woman, right? Why did you suddenly burst into laughter?
I saw the woman lift the umbrella and reveal her true face. After reading it, the scholar seemed to be moved. This woman's stunning appearance makes people feel excited. The scholar was dumbfounded for a moment, how could there be such a good-looking person in this world? You say that this is a female character from heaven descending to earth, and I am willing to believe it.
Then the woman looked at him and asked, "Is it good-looking?" ”
The scholar hurriedly lowered his head and apologized: "Huh? I'm sorry, but the girl looks like this alluring country. Let Xiao Sheng look a little obsessed.,Please forgive me if I cause inconvenience to the girl.。 Although the scholar said so, he was thinking about how to trick her into his bed.
When the woman saw him bow her head, she walked up to him and whispered, "Since you like to see, why don't you look at it twice?" ”
Then the woman lifted his head upward, and the ensuing scene made the scholar pee. The beautiful woman just now turned into a bird at this moment. The feathers on the bird's head are unusually thick, and the whole body is black, except for a hint of white at the end of the feathers.
The scholar was suddenly paralyzed to the ground in fright, and then the woman who turned into a bird looked at him and asked, "Doesn't Childe like to see the little girl's face?" Why are you afraid of this? Don't look twice anymore? ”
"Help...... Help me! The scholar turned around and ran, and the woman behind him disappeared at this time. Only the umbrella she was holding just now was left, and by the time she reappeared, it had turned into a big bird. The feathers on its body are black, but the feathers on its belly are red, and its feet are snow-white. I saw that the big bird slammed the scholar to the ground, and his two paws gouged out his eyes directly. and swallowed it into the abdomen, and then the big bird turned into a woman again and looked at the scholar and said, "Childe...... Now, your eyes are in my body. Just let me be your eyes, right? ”
"Ah~~ My eyes, you damn youkai! Get out of here, it hurts! The scholar was already in pain and fell to the ground, holding his hands over his gouged out eyes and wailing.
Then the woman turned to pick up the umbrella she had just dropped on the ground, and looked back at the scholar who had fainted from the pain. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile evilly, and the next second. She vanished as if she had never been there.
After dawn, the scholar was discovered by passers-by. At this time, he was already dying, if it was a little later. I'm afraid my life will be lost!
The scholar woke up after three days of treatment. Then he told them everything he had heard and seen: "It was a big gray crane with dark feathers and snow-white paws. It's terrifying, and it takes on a human form. What is it called...... Rakshasa Bird! ”
Suddenly, Lan Qi interrupted the system's words: "Stop, stop!" In the middle of the night, can you let me sleep? Can't storytelling be told during the day? ”
[Am I not telling you a bedtime story?] 】
"Who's going to tell a bedtime story like that? Sick? Lan Qi was also speechless at the system, who did this system? Who's going to be a ghost story for half a month, isn't this a neurosis?
[Oh well! I'll give you a little science popularization during the day, and you may encounter monsters in the next few days. 】
Youkai you might encounter? What is it? Isn't it an experiential identity?
Lan Qi was sleepy, but he was suddenly a little panicked by the system's words. He asked, "Wait! ...... you may encounter What does that mean? Could it be that there will be monsters coming to eat me these days? I'm not Tang Seng! ”
[That's right!] Now you are like Tang monk meat to monsters. 】
Lan Qi, who was lying on the ground, couldn't sleep in an instant. Immediately stood up and climbed to the tree, and said to the system, "No, Sir." Is it played? So what should I do? Could it be that I'm waiting to die? ”
[You don't have to worry about this problem, the system will ensure the safety of the host's life.] And your mission is not finished, who will do it when you die? This system is still the same as always, but judging from the sentence just now. It should be no problem, and the system is not like people can lie.
But listening to what the system says, you may encounter youkai in the next few days. This rakshasa bird is one of them, isn't it? It's better to understand a little bit first: "System! Can you tell me more about this rakshasa bird? ”
[The first time the Rakshasa bird appeared, it was when the family got married......]
During the Yongzheng period, there was a local tyrant in the capital who found a wife for his son. The woman is also a famous family, and after the bride is dressed up on this day, she sits in a sedan chair. Along the way, you will walk from outside the city, passing an ancient tomb on the way. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from the ancient tomb, and the wind rotated around the palanquin several times before stopping. The wind and sand blowing by the strong wind made people unable to open their glasses, and pedestrians on the road avoided one after another.
Although the wind rotated around the sedan chair several times, the wind blew for almost two hours. After the wind stopped, the four people carrying the sedan chair suddenly felt that the sedan chair seemed to be a little heavier. But I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking it might be an illusion.
Soon after, the sedan chair arrived at the man's home. The bridesmaids lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and prepared to help the bride out of the sedan chair. But when she lifted the curtain, she found that there was only a bride. Now somehow it's become two, and the two come out side by side. Not only do these two people look the same, but even the clothes on their bodies and the color of the rouge they apply are the same.
No matter how many people asked, the answers of both men were the same. This can make everyone confused, this is a big day to get married. Why did the female family make this play? Now who is the real bride, as long as she herself knows. But the answers of the two are the same, and they can't tell the truth from the fake at all.
In desperation, I had to take the two of them in to meet my in-laws and others.
The in-laws couldn't help but be shocked after asking, but now they can't tell the truth from the fake. I had no choice but to give up, and then the groom came out to worship the bride in the midst of a discussion. When he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be surprised. I thought to myself: "Marrying one wife becomes two, hehe." Buy 1 get 1 free? Hahaha! ”
In the dead of night, the groom and two brides share the same bed. The men and women also went back to their rooms to sleep, so that only the bridegroom and his room were left with the lights on.
Suddenly, there was a scream from the new house, and everyone in the house was awakened. He put on his clothes and hurried to the new house, opened the door and looked at it. I saw that the room was full of blood, and the groom had already fallen under the bed. One bride was lying in a pool of blood on the bed, and the other was missing.
After a closer inspection, he found a strange bird standing on the beam of the house in the shape of a large gray crane. The bird's feathers are grayish-black, with a sharp hooked beak and snow-white claws. Suddenly, the big bird stirred its wings and set off a gust of wind, and everyone was blown so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. After a few moments, the wind stopped, and by the time everyone opened their eyes, the big bird was gone.
Although the strange bird disappeared, everyone did not dare to sleep all night for fear that it would come back. After about two hours, the bridegroom awoke. After being questioned, the groom said, "The three of us sat on the edge of the bed for about an hour, while we were undressing and going to bed. The bride on the left suddenly raised her sleeve in front of me for a moment, and both of my eyes were gouged out. At that time, she fainted directly, and I don't know when she became a bird. ”
When I came to ask the bride, who had also woken up, she said, "I heard the groom scream suddenly, and he just lifted the cloth to ask him what had happened. I saw the woman turn into a bird and open her mouth and take away my eyes! ”
Some old people say that this bird is a rakshasa bird. Specializes in eating people's eyes, and often haunts places where yin is strong.
