Chapter 34: The Legend of the Poor Bird

Shui Xiaoxing and the others came to Luojia Village together, and walked to the stone monument of Luojia Village, this village does not know whether it is old, only to see that the record on the stone tablet has a history of two hundred years now, Shui Xiaoxing is looking around, there is only a small road that can enter the village, and if it is a taxi, it is estimated that it can only barely pass.

The road is very long, and there is no end in sight from afar, and the road gradually disappears into a jungle, and in the distance of the jungle are the high mountains that rise on three sides, and it seems that if you want to walk through those high mountains, it is estimated that it will take a few days to walk, and it can be said that only this path in front of you can enter the village.

After seeing the tombstone, Shui Xiaoxing and the others walked towards this path, they observed the dynamics on the side of the road at any time, only heard that this Luojia Village was not very peaceful, so a few people were walking while beware of the evil sneak attack, and after walking for a while, they entered a jungle, and then looked at this path also penetrated the jungle, I don't know where it extended.

Shui Xiaoxing stopped and told everyone: "Everyone be careful, the terrain here is complicated, I think this is the only way to enter the village, you see that this jungle is very quiet, quiet and a little scary, not to mention seeing a bird, even if you don't hear the bird." ”

Xinyue is still holding Shui Xiaoxing's arm, if she only sees these two people walking, then she thinks that the little couple is going back to her parents' house, at this time, Lin Yao can't take care of too much, and she doesn't bother to look at Brother Xiaoxing, she is protecting Su Xin and holding Su Xin's hand.

The big head touched the back of his head stupidly, and then pointed to the path behind him and said, "I said Hyosung, you said that this is the only way to the village, if this evil spirit is chasing from behind, then it will be difficult for all of us to run!" ”

The big head knows that his Taoist skills are poor, and if there are really any ghosts, if he can't beat them, then he has to study an escape route for himself first.

Shui Xiaoxing thought to himself, this timid head, I think he is really not suitable to be Mr. Yin and Yang, so he said: "This evil has not been met yet, what kind of door are you running away!" ”

And after that, Shui Xiaoxing thought about what his head said, if he really encountered any evil on this road, then he really didn't want to run out, if the road behind him was blocked, it would become a battle of trapped beasts, and then think about it, then don't think about it so much.

As he walked, there were bursts of fog floating behind him, and he could see the road in front of him clearly, and when Shui Hyosung looked behind him, the whole road was surrounded by white fog and he couldn't see anything clearly, Shui Hyosung became vigilant and hurriedly said: "Everyone be careful, this fog is strange, you look back!" ”

Everyone looked back, they were all surprised, the only way was that there was no way to go back, and they were not afraid of anything if they couldn't see their fingers, but they were afraid that there was some miasma floating in the mountains, and it would be bad if it was highly poisonous, and the fog was also slowly approaching Shui Xiaoxing and others!

"Oops! This fog is coming towards us, and it is estimated that it will catch up with us soon, so let's take a few steps! Although Shui Xiaoxing said this, the terrain was dangerous, and he didn't dare to go too fast, and he had to be vigilant about the surrounding dynamics at all times.

The fog drifted very quickly, and after a few tens of meters it was about to catch up, and at this time a few people didn't have too many scruples, so they ran quickly towards the front of the jungle, and just through the jungle, they saw two dilapidated thatched huts.

Shui Xiaoxing came to the hut and knocked lightly on the door twice, and the door was opened by a man about fifty years old, he looked around, and saw Shui Xiaoxing and Lin Yao coming, before he walked out of the door and asked, "Hello!" Young man, why did you run to Luojia Village to play, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, you better go back quickly, when it gets dark, you can't get out even if you think of it! ”

So he walked back to the house slowly, and when he was about to close the door, Shui Xiaoxing stopped the uncle and asked, "Uncle, we are not here to play, we are here to get rid of evil spirits!" ”

The uncle looked surprised, looked Shui Xiaoxing and a few others up and down, and said, "A group of children, don't talk big, I tell you that it is very dangerous here, you should go back quickly!" ”

At this time, the big head stepped forward and said, "Uncle, what, we never talk big, I want to ask the uncle, do you know this person, so the big head took out his mobile phone and let the uncle look at it." ”

When the uncle saw it, he asked directly: "Could it be that you are the Onmyoji, Zhang Shaofei?" ”

I saw that the big head patted his chest very confidently.

"I'm like a fake, and I can still have a fake! Who has nothing to do to pretend to be an onmyoji to come to such a hellish place!"

"Uncle, these are my fellow Daoists, and they are here to help this time." The big head said.

Shui Xiaoxing and Lin Yao both glanced at their big heads, but they didn't say much, after all, they had to leave enough face for their heads.

After the uncle learned of his intentions, his attitude was no more arrogant than before, he hurriedly said politely, and said: "Zhang Daochang, I have heard your name for a long time, and I heard that you can even attract ghosts to the yang world. ”

Like the big head of a wild boar into a jing, it's not like ordinary people, maybe the uncle likes this kind of thing, and thinks that this kind of person will have real skills, thinking that little fresh meat like Shui Xiaoxing and Lin Yao is probably not very capable.

So he invited Shui Xiaoxing and a few people into his thatched hut, which was very simple, only a wooden bed, a very small lamp, and a few wooden stools, and the uncle wiped the dust on the stool with his sleeve and invited a few people to sit down, and hurriedly said: "I'm really sorry, I don't have tea here, let's drink some white water, Dao Chief, I was the one who called you before." ”

Shui Xiaoxing found a stool and sat down casually, and said, "Uncle, you're welcome, let's talk about the things in this village first." ”

The uncle also sat down and said, "Originally, my ancestors lived in Luojia Village for three generations, and the village was still peaceful, and most of the villagers were very harmonious, so it was like a family." ”

The uncle pointed north along the window a few times and said, "My family lives in the village, and this thatched hut was also built temporarily, just to hide from a bird in the village!" ”

"A bird? There's nothing to dodge from this. Shui Xiaoxing asked the uncle curiously.

And the uncle frowned, and said: "There is nothing terrible about a bird, but things are not as simple as you think, this bird's whereabouts are very strange, no one has seen its appearance, but every night it will make a crisp chirp, and the call translates, it is damned, damned!" It's terrifying! ”

The big head originally listened with his mouth wide open, but then he pretended to be again, and said, "Why does this bird make such a sound, I say, is it someone who is playing a prank at night?" ”

The uncle shook his head and said, "We originally thought that someone's child was playing a prank in the middle of the night, but in fact, this bird's cry is very strange, as long as it is called near the roof of someone's house for a night, whose family will suffer, and one person will die in the family!" ”

"It's so evil, it's scary!" Xinyue pretended to be scared and hugged Shui Xiaoxing's arm and shouted.

Lin Yao was angry and glanced at Shui Xiaoxing and Xinyue, and he didn't like the way one of them was pretentious, and the other was enjoying it.

"Hey! Fear is inevitable, and why shouldn't we!" Uncle said with a sigh.

Then the uncle recalled: "I heard that the old man in the village said that there is indeed such a bird in the world, called the bad bird, the legend is that the poor bird is a bird that can shuttle between the underworld and the yang at will, and can bring people's souls to the underworld, just like the ghost or the bull head and horse face, and the bull head and horse face appear in the yang world, that is to ask for the heinous person, the general ghost can not deal with the ghost, the evil ghost, the bull head and horse face will come to ask for it in person, and the ghost is limited in ability, can only lock some ordinary ghosts." ”

"However, legend has it that the poor bird was the protector of the underworld, and was loved by the underworld, and this kind of bird family is to do things for the underworld, helping the underworld to capture the ghosts and wandering spirits of the underworld, just like the peacock Dapeng is the Western sacred, and the status of this poor bird in the underworld will not be weaker than the peacock and the Dapeng!" Uncle said.

"Uncle, you say so, this poor bird clan is all doing things for the underworld, so how can they harm the common people in the yang world for no reason." Lin Yao asked in disbelief.

The uncle patted his thigh and said, "I don't know about this either, but no one has ever seen a bad bird, and I don't know if it was a bad bird." ”

"I've read a *** book, and it does mention some things about bad birds." And Shui Xiaoxing can only say this, the book he said is "The Witch Book of the Red Mountain", so it is inconvenient to say it, it can only be said to be a *** book.

"The record in the book is not as you said, this poor bird family is indeed yin, but the poor bird came to the world, it is to call seven days and seven days, each hour is called seven times, one day less or even an hour, it is a violation of the agreement of the underworld, and these seven days and seven nights are to give the people who are about to die in the yang world enough time to explain the aftermath, although the bird call is very weird, but it is very crisp and loud, and it can be heard very clearly in the day or night, but the person who is going to die cannot hear the call of the poor bird, Only after falling asleep, will I dream that I hear the call of the poor bird at night, and when I get up the next morning, I will feel that the poor bird is a whole call, when it is actually just a dream, and the call is very similar to the damn one! Shui Hyosung said.

The uncle was taken aback when he heard Shui Xiaoxing's words, he originally thought that these children would understand something, but he didn't expect Shui Xiaoxing to understand so much, the uncle recalled and said: "Young man, what you said should be right, although I haven't counted how many times the bad birds have called, but it feels similar to what you said, about seven." ”
