Chapter 498: Rumors
The Buddhist monk Qiyu was stunned in his heart, he had been in Middle-earth for several years, and he knew all about strange people and strangers from all over the world, but he had never heard of such a person as Siemens.
Could it be that he is a descendant disciple of a certain hidden sect who was sent out to walk the world?
The monk subconsciously pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and gradually sketched the scene in the private room next door in his mind.
Three middle-aged men, one short, one fat, and one thin, were sitting around a round table, drinking and chatting.
The short man took a big sip of wine and said, "Siemens? I've also heard that this Taoist chief is kind-hearted and walks all over the world just to kill demons.
I heard that he encountered such a strange case in Long County, there are two families who have become in-laws, both men and women are from wealthy families, and they are right.
The welcoming procession was full of gongs and drums, mighty,
Just as everyone picked up the bride and went to the man's house, a gust of wind mixed with thick sand and dust suddenly drifted from afar.
The welcoming team suddenly turned over on their backs, and the sedan chair fell to the ground, frightening the bride's appearance.
After a period of chaos, the wind and sand subsided, and the team hurried again, accompanied by the lively sound of gongs and drums, and arrived at the man's house in Long County.
After the completion of the ritual process, the concubine lifted the curtain,
Everyone was overjoyed to see the bride wearing a red hijab stepping off the sedan chair, and the groom was naturally overjoyed.
However, before the concubine could say something auspicious, the sedan curtain was lifted again..."
The fat man interjected and said, "Is it the maid hiding in the sedan chair?" Or the little white-faced adulterer who wants to take the bride away and fly away? ”
"Hey, neither."
The short man shook his head and said, "The one who stepped down from the sedan chair is still a bride wearing a red hijab,
Everyone was dumbfounded,
The two brides stood side by side, regardless of height, posture, and clothing, they were exactly the same, and they couldn't tell each other apart at all. ”
The skinny man interjected, "Twins? ”
"Not really."
The short man shook his head, "This bride is the only daughter of their family, and she has no siblings.
The in-laws were all stunned, so they had to welcome the two brides into the inner room, remove the red hijab, and let the parents identify it with their own eyes.
Unexpectedly, the two brides looked exactly the same, and even the birthmarks on their calves were the same.
The parents asked the bride to tell her memories of the past, and both brides answered the questions fluently and without mistakes. ”
The fat man was dumbfounded and said, "And such a thing? ”
"yes."
The short man said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Both families are local wealthy families, and they can't tell which one is the original bride, and they can't pull their faces, so they temporarily interrupt the wedding.
had to bite the bullet and let the two brides marry the groom together. ”
The thin man shook his head and said, "It is estimated that the only happy person present is the groom official." ”
"That's right, hugging left and right, enjoying the blessings of all people, it's really envious of others."
The short man said with a smile: "One worships heaven and earth, the second worships the high hall, the husband and wife worship each other, and then there is a big feast."
The two brides followed their husbands to meet relatives and friends, during which they glared angrily, gritted their teeth, and hated each other who suddenly appeared to disturb their wedding.
The relatives and friends who came to watch the ceremony saw enough of the gimmick and felt that the trip was worthwhile, and they had the capital to brag to outsiders.
When night fell and the people were gone, the bridegroom excitedly took the two brides into the cave and went to bed.
At this time, although the two brides were reluctant, they did not want to be left behind, and let this imposter who suddenly came out interfere with the candles in the cave room, so they had to sleep with the groom. ”
The short man said with a fluttering eyebrow, and the two listeners smiled "I understand" at the same time.
The monk Qiyu in the next room couldn't help but shake his head, he had already understood when he was young that this woman was the devil.
The short man continued: "Wait until there is a noise in the room, and the in-laws who are hiding outside the wall and listening to the corner of the wall will nod, and the newlyweds are fine, then there is no problem."
Unexpectedly, as soon as the in-laws went back to the room to sleep, they heard a terrible scream from the new house, hurriedly got up, called the servants in the house, and ran to the new house with candles.
Everyone is worried about whether something is wrong with the game of two phoenixes?
The people hurried to the door, and hurriedly knocked on the door that was locked from the inside.
There was dead silence inside the door, and no matter how much the in-laws shouted, there was no response.
In desperation, the in-laws had no choice but to order someone to smash the door open, but seeing blood all over the room, the groom was lying on the ground with his back to the sky, with a black hole in his eye sockets, and the two eyeballs were missing.
A bride collapsed on the back of the bed, drenched in a pool of blood, her life and death unknown.
The other bride is nowhere to be found. ”
The fat man frowned: "Did you suffer a villain?" ”
The short man shook his head, "Suddenly, there was a strange laugh from the beam, and when everyone looked up, they saw a large gray bird with a height of one man, hooking the beam with its claws and hanging upside down.
Seeing the strange bird, the in-laws were frightened and angry, and ordered someone to stab the beam of the house with a pitchfork and bamboo pole.
The strange bird whirled in the narrow room, easily avoiding all the pitchforks, and with a wave of its claws it cut off the bamboo poles it had stabbed, and waited until the servants had fetched their nets, and then they flapped their wings, rushed out of the window, and flew into the night and disappeared. ”
The short man took a sip of wine and said slowly under the eager gazes of the two listeners: "After Lang Zhong's application of medicine to rescue, the bride and groom are not in danger of their lives.
But both of them had their eyeballs taken away from the strange birds, and there was no chance of regaining their sight. ”
The fat man sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity that the newlyweds have flowers and candles in the cave room, which is a happy thing in the world, and the husband and wife both go blind." ”
The short man nodded and said: "This accident happened, this family was naturally sad and indignant, and the next morning, a young Taoist with black hair and short hair walked into Long County. ”
The fat man asked, "Siemens Daoist?" ”
"Exactly."
The short man said slowly: "Siemens Dao Chang entered Long County, and when he heard about it, he immediately came to visit.
Tell your in-laws that you hurt the newlyweds' eyes last night,
It is a monster called the Rakshasa Bird.
This demon is condensed and indispersed in the place of gathering yin, and is best at transforming into a human form.
Often takes on the form of a human being, sneaks into other people's homes, pecks at people's eyes, and is fierce and cruel.
According to his estimates, the Rakshasa bird must have been entrenched in a mass grave west of Long County, where several lonely children and elderly people had been pecked out of their eyes in a nearby village.
The grief-stricken old lady naturally wanted to seek justice for her son, and hurriedly ordered the servants to find a few hunters in the city, preparing to scatter all the family wealth, pull up the people, and kill the mass grave.
As a result, the Rakshasa bird died. ”
