Poor Wang Li, who was originally a righteous person, was still able to restrain himself in the face of beauty and the temptation of food! But in the face of the treasure, he was greedy, and finally lost his life, which is also sad and lamentable.

And this Wang Li is the key to dealing with this Rakshasa ghost, if you can find the Rakshasa bone, you will definitely be able to arrest this evil ghost.

Seeing this, Su Ling frowned, "So what else are you going to find Wang Li?" Rakshasa bones? I'm here just to get money for one trip, why do I have to make this mess, I won't go! "Thinking back to the time when Ye Mingsheng handed over this wanted warrant to himself, there was something wrong, the bonus was indeed very generous, but this person looked a little strange, especially which look, like this is obviously a trap, but you still have to drill into it......

"Let's look at the second one," Pu Xing heard this, and moved his gaze to one of the wanted notices below.

"The Painted Skin Ghost, the second most vicious and vicious ghost in the most wanted list, has a terrifying ability to hide in human skin, can move during the day, and then eat people at night, leaving the skin behind after eating people. These kinds of ghosts that harm humans in order to be able to move in the daytime are really hateful, and it is best to describe them as "ghosts in human skin". A woman who was insulted, bullied, and ravaged when she was born, after dying of resentment, she turned into a ghost and asked for her life, because there was only a pile of bones left, so she would disguise herself with human skin. ”

After watching it, Su Ling suddenly remembered the movie he had seen in Twilight City before.

"Isn't that the kind of painted skin?" Su Ling stabbed Pu Xingwen beside him. ”

Pu Xingwen glanced back at her after hearing this, "What do you think, that's a movie, it's real here, look down," Pu Xingwen dispelled the idea that Su Ling was going to wander again.

Su Ling snorted lightly when he heard this, these are two things that are obviously very similar, how can this thing have a clear conscience?

I saw that the following is another introduction to the origin of the painted skin ghost:

Evil ghosts put on painted skins and become beautiful women, taking away the hearts of the bewitched, which became a classic depiction of evil ghosts in ancient China. The reason why the skin ghost can deceive people and eat people is that it knows how to use the art of skin painting, which is a green-faced and fanged caracal, but it can turn into a bewitching and moving beauty, so that those who have evil thoughts and lose their vigilance are deceived.

Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a scholar who met an unidentified beautiful woman in the woods, and then the woman claimed to be a runaway concubine, so the scholar did not listen to the persuasion of others, and took her home to live with her. At first, he was confused by this woman, but then the scholar met a ghost-hunting Taoist, the Taoist priest saw that he was blackened, he knew that he was haunted by ghosts, and told him that he had met a ghost, and the Xiushi was only half-convinced after learning about it, so he secretly observed at night, lying on the woman's window and peeping, Xiushi actually found that there was an ugly and vicious ghost in the room who was painting a human skin, and the portrait on the human skin was the woman, so Xiushi was frightened.

Then he went to the Taoist priest for help, and the Taoist priest gave him a Buddha dust amulet and let him hang it on the door of the sleeping bedroom, but unexpectedly, Xiushi was still killed by the evil ghost after all, and it was difficult to escape the fate of the devil's belly and heart. Xiushi's wife begged the Taoist priest to save Xiushi's life, so she told her to go to the street and ask a crazy monk to return Xiushi's gouged out heart to its original owner. Xiushi's wife found the old monk, and begged the old monk to save people with sincerity, the old monk asked his wife to swallow the phlegm he spit out, and the wife was eager to save her husband, so she had to do it, but she still regretted it a little, and when she returned home, her wife spit the phlegm into Xiushi's mouth, and Xiushi grew a heart again, and finally succeeded in saving Xiushi's life.

There was a scholar surnamed Wang in Taiyuan Mansion, who went out early in the morning and met a woman on the road, carrying a burden in her arms, running alone, and her steps were very difficult. Wang Sheng quickened his pace to catch up with her, and saw that she was fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was very beautiful, so he fell in love.

He asked the woman, "Why do you walk alone early in the morning?" ”

The woman said, "Those who are in a hurry cannot be companions to relieve their sorrows, so why bother to ask?" ”

Wang Sheng said: "If you have any worries, just say it, maybe I can serve and I won't shirk." ”

The woman said with a gloomy expression: "My parents were greedy for money and sold me to a rich family, and my eldest wife was very jealous of me, and she either scolded or beat me all day long, and I really couldn't bear this humiliation, so I planned to go far." ”

Wang Sheng asked again, "Where are you going?" The woman said, "I have fled and wandered away, and I have nowhere to go." Wang Sheng said: "My home is not far from here, as long as you want, you can live temporarily." The woman happily agreed. Wang Sheng helped her carry the burden and led her to the house. When the woman saw that there was no one else in the house, she asked, "Why don't you have any family?" Wang Sheng replied, "This is my study." The woman said, "This is a good place, and if you have compassion on me and let me live, you must keep it a secret and don't tell anyone about it." ”

Wang Sheng said yes and lived with her. Wang Sheng let her hide in a secret room, and no one knew about it for many days. Later, Wang Sheng quietly told his wife Chen about this, and his wife suspected that the woman was a concubine of a large family and persuaded her husband to send her away, but Wang Sheng did not listen at all.

By chance, Wang Sheng met a Taoist priest in the city, and the Taoist priest looked shocked when he saw him. Ask him, "What have you encountered?" Wang Sheng said: "Nothing happened. The Taoist priest said, "You are surrounded by evil spirits, how can you say that you have not encountered anything?" Wang Sheng tried his best to defend himself.

The Taoist priest had no choice but to leave, and when he left, he said regretfully: "Confused! There are people in the world who are not yet enlightened when the time of death is coming! Wang Sheng had to suspect the woman because of what he said. Thinking about it again, she is obviously a beautiful girl, how can she be a monster, guessing that it is a Taoist priest who uses the town of demons to get rid of monsters to earn a few meals, right? After a while, he returned to the study, pushed the door, and found that it was inserted inside, and he couldn't get in. So he became suspicious, and climbed over the wall and entered, and the door was closed.

He crept to the window and peeked in, only to see a demon, with a green face and jagged teeth. The ghost spread a human skin on the bed, and was drawing on it with a colored pen, and soon it was finished, and threw the pen aside, and then lifted the human skin with both hands and draped it over his body, and in an instant he became a girl.

Seeing this scene, Wang Sheng was frightened. He didn't dare to say a word, he bent down like a dog and crawled out, panicking to chase after the Taoist priest. However, the Taoist priest had long since disappeared. He searched everywhere and finally met him in the wilderness. Wang Sheng pounced and knelt on the ground and begged the Taoist priest for help. The Taoist priest said, "Let me drive it away for you." Actually, this ghost is also pitiful, it was not easy to find a stand-in, and I can't bear to hurt its life. ”

So he handed over the fly whisk to Wang Sheng, told him to take it back and hang it on the bedroom door, and when they parted, he agreed to Wang Sheng to go to the Qingdi Temple to find him if he had something.

When Wang Sheng returned home, he did not dare to go to the study, so he slept in the inner room at night, and hung the fly whisk given to him by the Taoist priest on the door. About one o'clock in time, he heard the sound of a shackle outside the door, Wang Sheng himself did not dare to look, but asked his wife to go and peep secretly, only to see the woman coming, looking at the fly on the door and not daring to enter the house.

The woman gritted her teeth outside the door and stood for a long time before leaving. After a while, he came again, and scolded in his mouth, "The Taoist priest scares me, I can't spit out the food I ate in my mouth again!" So he took the fly off and broke it, broke into the door, went straight to Wang Sheng's bed, cut open Wang Sheng's intestines, grabbed Wang Sheng's heart with both hands and left.

Wang Sheng's wife was so frightened that she cried out. The maid came in with a candle and took a look, and saw that Wang Sheng was dead, and the blood stains everywhere in his chest were blurred, and Chen was so frightened that he didn't even dare to cry.

The next day, Erlang, the younger brother of Wang Sheng, rushed to tell the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest was angry and said, "I had pity on it, but it dared to do this!" "I immediately followed Erlang to come. But the woman was gone. The Taoist priest looked up and said, "Fortunately, I didn't go far." Then he asked, "Whose house does the South Courtyard live in?" Jiro said, "I live there." ”

The Taoist priest said, "It is now in your house." Jiro was surprised when he heard it, and thought that there was none. The Taoist priest asked again, "Is there a stranger who has ever come?" Erlang replied: "I went to the Qingdi Temple early in the morning to invite you, I really don't know, I can go back and ask." After Erlang went for a while, he came back and said, "Sure enough, someone came, and in the morning an old woman came and wanted to be a servant in my house, and my wife left her behind, and she is still at home." ”

The Taoist priest said, "It's this ghost." "Immediately go with Erlang. The Taoist priest stood in the middle of the courtyard with a wooden sword in his hand, and shouted: "Bold evil ghost, quickly return my flies!" The old woman was frightened in the house, and was about to flee away, when the Taoist priest chased after her, and with a sword knocked her to the ground, and the human skin fell off with a clatter, and she was reduced to a demon, lying on the ground and howling like a pig. The Taoist priest slashed its head with a wooden sword, and the ghost instantly turned into smoke and swirled on the ground.

The Taoist priest took out a gourd, pulled out the stopper, put the gourd in the smoke, and sucked all the smoke into the gourd in the blink of an eye. The Taoist priest plugged the mouth of the gourd, put the gourd away and put it into a bag. Everyone went to see the human skin, and the eyebrows, eyes, hands and feet were very complete. The Taoist priest rolled up the human skin like a scroll and put it away, and was about to say goodbye and leave, when Chen knelt at the door, crying and begging the Taoist priest to let him save her husband. The Taoist priest was powerless to refuse. Chen cried even more sadly, and fell to the ground unable to get up. The Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said, "My spells are too shallow, and I really can't bring the dead back to life. I will point you to a man who may be able to save your husband, and you will be rewarded if you ask him. ”

Chen asked, "Who is it?" The Taoist priest said, "There is a madman on the street who often sleeps in dung. Try to ask him, and if he wants to go mad and insult you, don't be angry. "Jiro also knows that there is such a person. So he said goodbye to the Taoist priest and went to the street with his sister-in-law to find it.

They saw a beggar singing on the road, with a snot three feet long, covered with filth that made it impossible to approach. Chen knelt forward, and the beggar smiled and asked, "Does the beauty love me?" Chan explained to him why.

The beggar laughed again and said, "Everyone can be a husband, so what is the use of reviving him?" Chan persisted in pleading. The beggar said, "How strange! When a man dies and begs me to save him, am I the king of Hades? After saying that, he angrily hit Chen with a cane.

Chan endured the pain and humiliation with tears in his eyes. The lively people on the street gradually gathered, and it became a human wall around it. The beggar coughed up phlegm and spittle, raised it to Chen's mouth, and said, "Eat it!" Chen's face flushed, but she remembered the Taoist priest's instructions, so she swallowed it forcibly. All she could do was think that the thing had gotten into her throat like a lump of cotton wool, and it was falling down, and then it was stuck in her chest and didn't move. The beggar laughed and said, "The beauty is in love with me!" With that, he got up and walked away without even looking back.

They followed him and went into the temple to ask him again, but they did not know where he was. They searched the temple and left him, but there was no sign of him.

Chen returned home in great shame, feeling sorry for her husband's tragic death, and recalling that he had devoured the phlegm and saliva of a beggar in front of everyone on the street.

She was about to wipe off the blood and collect the body into the coffin, when her family stood and watched, and no one dared to come to her. Chen hugged the corpse and collected his intestines, crying bitterly as he cleaned up. When I cried hoarsely, I suddenly wanted to vomit, but I felt that the mass of things that had stopped in my chest rushed straight up, and I vomited out, and before I could look at it, the thing had fallen into my husband's chest.

She was surprised to see that it was a human heart, which had been "thumping" in her husband's chest, and the heat was steaming like smoke. Chen was very surprised, so she hurriedly put her hands on her husband's chest and squeezed it together. As soon as she let go, the heat came out of the cracks. So she tore off the silk cloth and tied her husband's ribcage tightly. She touched the corpse with her hand again, and she felt slowly warm.

Then she put the quilt on her again, and when she lifted it in the middle of the night, she saw that she was breathing. At dawn the next day, the husband finally came back to life. As soon as he woke up, he said, "I was in a trance, like in a dream, and I only felt a dull pain in my stomach." Then they looked at the place where the belly had been torn, and it was already a scab the size of a copper coin, and it was soon completely healed.

At night, Wang Sheng did not dare to go to the study, so he slept in the inner room and hung the fly whisk given by the Taoist priest on the door. The woman came in the middle of the night, looked at the flies on the door and did not dare to enter the house, and stood for a long time before leaving. After a while, he came again, took off the fly whisk and broke it, broke the door and went straight to Wang Sheng's bed, cut open Wang Sheng's intestines, grabbed Wang Sheng's heart with both hands and left. Wang Sheng's wife was so frightened that she cried out, and the maids came in with candles to shine a light, and saw that Wang Sheng was dead, and the blood stains on his chest were blurred.

Wang Sheng's wife, Chen, begged a Taoist priest to save Wang Sheng, and the Taoist priest said, "My spells are too shallow, and I really can't bring the dead back to life." I'll point you to a man who might save your husband. Chan asked, "Who?" The Taoist priest said, "There is a madman on the street who often sleeps in dung.

Try to ask him for help, and if he insults you, don't be angry. Chan went out into the street and knelt down in front of the beggar and begged for help. The beggar humiliated Chan and said, "Does the beautiful woman love me? Everyone can be a husband, so what's the use of reviving him? "He also beat Chen with a cane. Chen held back and begged bitterly. In the end, the beggar blew and vomited, took out a large ball of snot and sticky phlegm, and ordered Chen to eat it. Chen's face flushed, remembering the Taoist priest's instructions, and swallowed the lump of snot and sticky phlegm in great humiliation.

When Chen returned home, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't save his husband, and he also ate a dirty man's snot and sticky phlegm, what a shame! She cried as she straightened Wang Sheng's chest torn by the evil spirit. When he cried hoarsely, he suddenly wanted to vomit, but the lump of snot and sticky phlegm suddenly gushed out, fell into Wang Sheng's chest, and became a beating heart. Chen hurriedly bandaged her husband's chest, and her husband gradually gained body temperature. Then Chen covered her husband with a quilt, and when he lifted the quilt in the middle of the night, he saw that he was breathing. At dawn the next day, the husband finally came back to life. Looking at the torn belly again, there was already a scab the size of a copper coin, and it was completely healed in no time.

Seeing that there was Su Ling here, he was finally a little puzzled.

Both of these stories seem to be the origin of this ghost, what is it trying to tell us? Doesn't that guide us to how to solve it? Why did you suddenly start telling the story? Su Ling said incomprehensibly.

However, Pu Xingwen, a normal person, only had some understanding after watching these stories, "I think this is to let us solve the ...... fundamentally."

The caracal painted the skin, disguised the beauty, Wang Sheng was greedy for sex, and then suffered the disaster of digging out his heart, and the later Taoist priests collected ghosts, crazy beggars brought them back to life, etc., are also absurd stories. But it's different from the superstitious tales that scare people. There are ghosts in society who compete to eat people, some of them appear with hideous faces, and some hide their true faces. This latter kind of ghost creature is not only murderous and hateful, but also has a deceptive nature that is not found in the former category.

Su Ling raised his eyebrows, "So what?" What do you want to say? ”

"But the female ghost in the painting skin does not necessarily refer to the ghost of the ghost, I think he represents more of a power, he is a metaphor, this ghost is more likely to be a habit that may affect your energy and bring bad habits to your health. Another example is that Journey to the West mostly uses gods and monsters to imply people or things in reality, or some unknown power, when I watched Sun Xingzhi vs. the multi-eyed monster, what I thought of was that this multi-eyed monster had a golden monster on his back, what does this mean, this may be the author's hint at a disease at the time, this multi-eyed monster is a patient with this strange disease. For example, drug abuse, for example, your greed is too strong, and your selfish desires are inflated, etc., this "ghost" is not in the physical world or even in your heart. ”

Therefore, the origin of ghosts is actually the dark place of human nature, and people only become ghosts after death, and all the characteristics on their bodies are affected by their personality before death.
