Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Legend of the Master
According to the Taoist priest, we just fell out of this world and entered a field, but I still don't understand, since I was a child, I don't know how many times I have walked the path to the village monument, and I have never encountered this situation.
Although Dingyan Village is surrounded by mountains and dense forests, most of them are unclimbable cliffs and raging rivers, and if you want to go deep into the mountains, it is the easiest and safest way to enter from the valley at the east end of the village. In a mountain village like ours, where we rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, it is common to go into the mountains to hunt or gather mountain goods, and many people enter the mountains from this road almost every day.
I looked at Sister Bai Ling and expressed the doubts in my heart, and at the same time told me what I had encountered in that non-existent space. This time, it was not just the Taoist priest who was surprised, a trace of disbelief flashed in Sister Bailing's expression, and it was fleeting, but I still saw it.
"Sister Bailing, did you think of something?" I asked with a frown, I don't know why, ever since that damn black line appeared, I always felt that my relatives around me were vague about me, as if something was hidden from me.
Grandma is like this, the third uncle is like this, and the second tiger is like this, what is there that can't let me know?
I'm most afraid that Sister Bailing will also say that she can't tell me, so let me stop asking, she is for my good or something, but she didn't say that, but told a story.
It was a story that grandma told to Sister Bailing as an after-dinner chatter, and it is said that grandma also heard it from grandpa, and I don't know if it's true or not. That was what happened in the time of my grandfather, and when it comes to my grandfather, I still heard about his deeds from my third uncle.
It is rumored that the Taiye was also a generation of influential figures, who had been a Taoist priest for more than ten years, active in the late Qing Dynasty, and experienced the great era of Guangxu, Xuantong and even the Republic of China, and had great influence in the Taoist alliance of the Central Plains at that time, but then disappeared for unknown reasons.
The story that Sister Bailing told happened when the grandfather was less than twenty years old. At that time, it was a time of domestic turmoil, internal and external troubles, and the aforementioned cult, the Nine Lotus Divine Cult, reached its peak in power, and it was at this time that the Taiye became famous.
At that time, the young and young Taiye joined the Taoist Alliance in the Central Plains at that time with his master, and started a battle with the Nine Lotus Divine Sect for more than ten years. The Nine Lotus Divine Sect harmed Southern Xinjiang and forced the Southern Wu Sect, which did not participate in foreign disputes at that time, to unite with the Taoist Alliance to fight against the powerful Nine Lotus Divine Sect.
Wu Dao joined forces to promote the exchange between Wu Gu in Southern Xinjiang and Taoism in the Central Plains, and it was at that time that Tai Ye fell in love with Tai Niang from an unknown Miao village in Yunnan. After that, the battle between the Wudao Alliance and the Nine Lotus Divine Cult presented a one-sided situation after the addition of eight mysterious people, and the Nine Lotus Divine Cult collapsed, and most of the cultists hid in the four places of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Guizhou, and hibernated.
As soon as the cult crossed over, the alliance that was not reliable at that time quickly broke up, and because of the various internal frictions accumulated during the alliance, there was even a situation of various sects fighting each other, and the dispute with southern Xinjiang was even more serious to the point of a fierce fight.
Wu Dao parted ways, and the grandfather did not want to be involved in those bad things in the Central Plains, so he returned to Yunnan with the grandmother, but because of the identity of the grandfather, the Miao village of the grandmother did not accept him. The two had already made a lifelong decision, so they naturally did not want to separate, so they left Miao Village and came to the place where Dingyan Village is now, intending to live in seclusion in the mountains and be a pair of hidden mandarin ducks.
When I first arrived here, Dingyan Village did not exist, and the village at that time was called Wawu Village, which was an ancient Yao village. But when the grandfather and grandmother entered Wawu Village, the entire village had already become a ruin, and all the villagers, including the elderly and children, were slaughtered. The whole village was littered with corpses strung up, and all the corpses had been drained of blood and their hearts had been dug up.
What kind of brute did this unreasonable thing? The grandfather was furious at that time, everyone died of knife wounds, this must have been done by someone, and after searching the entire existence, there was no body of half a girl.
Such a scene made the master immediately think of the Nine Lotus Divine Sect, because this kind of technique was exactly what the Nine Lotus Divine Sect was used to. The blood of the corpse is still fresh, and the girls who were taken away may still be alive.
is different from the current people, the grandfather and their generation are the most chivalrous, and when they see injustices on the road, they must be taken care of. Unlike now, when you see a person falling, you have to weigh whether your family is thick enough and whether it can withstand slander.
The thought of the grandfather at that time was to find someone and save the girls who had been taken captive. At the same time, the mountain forest east of Wawu Village erupted into a sky-high evil spirit, and the grandfather didn't even care what the evil spirit was, and asked the grandmother to stay in the village, not to let go of a fish that slipped through the net, and then plunged into the mountain forest.
No one knows what happened after that, because the grandfather refused to say whether he was alive or dead afterwards, even if it was to his favorite grandmother, he refused to confide half a word. Soon after the master entered, the evil spirit in the forest erupted, and countless evil spirits rushed into the sky, sweeping through the village full of dead people, and all the dead villagers were defrauded.
The grandmother is also a person with excellent skills, after suppressing all the corpses, she was worried about the grandfather, and also entered the mountain, but saw the grandfather kneeling outside a verdant forest, holding a dead Yao girl in her arms, covered with blood, her eyes were wide open, her expression was distorted, and she was no longer conscious. Beside him, blood stained the desolate meadow red, and more than thirty Yao girls had jade bodies lying horizontally, with a hideous bloody mouth on their necks, and their throats were cut open. There were also a large number of broken corpses on the ground, judging from the costumes they were wearing, they were not Yao people, but the costumes unique to the Nine Lotus God Sect.
……
The grandfather and grandmother buried the bodies of all the Wawu villagers on the ruins of the village, and there was no one left in the village, so the grandfather burned all the buildings to the ground. After experiencing that incident, the grandfather seemed to be a different person, and built a house not far from Wawu Village and settled down completely.
However, the matter did not end there, after that incident, the ruins of Wawu Village, the mass grave where all the Wawu villagers were buried, there were wails from time to time, day and night, and there was a long evil aura shrouded in the ghosts of the dead. With the means of the grandfather and grandmother, there is naturally a way to deal with these troublesome undead, but the grandfather is unwilling, saying that these are poor people, and he is ashamed of them, let them go!
In this way, the mass grave has become a treacherous land, and after a long time, many families have moved here, some of them are relatives of the grandfather, some are friends of the grandfather, and some are familiar with the grandmother, and slowly there is the current Dingyan Village.
The existence of mass graves has seriously affected the lives of the people in Dingyan Village, everyone knows that the grandfather has the ability, and asked him to help, but the grandfather refused.
Until one day, a young man who was good friends with the grandfather appeared, and the mass grave disappeared inexplicably, but there was an extra mysterious stone tablet.
……
Sister Bailing's story was finished, but I fell into a deep shock. I've never heard anyone say anything about these things, and I really didn't expect that there would be such an unknown horror past in my hometown.
Wawu Village, mass grave, the original village monument that I don't know the origin but is regarded as a sacred relic by the villagers, is actually related to the mass grave, so the place where the village monument is located is the mass grave where the dead villagers of Wawu Village were buried?
For a moment, I felt a chill in my spine, when I was a child, the village monument was a holy place for us to play, I, for so many years, we have been on the top of people's heads, and it can be said that it is fortunate that nothing happened.
I thought of the mass grave I saw just now, the bones that kept pouring out, and the ghosts that were floating, and I was suddenly shocked: "So, the cemetery I just met is the mass grave where the grandfather buried the villagers of Wawu Village back then?" But, how is this possible? Haven't mass graves disappeared? ”
I looked at Sister Bailing, and I was extremely puzzled.
Before Sister Bailing could speak, the Taoist priest interjected: "It's hard to say, from the scene you just described, combined with the story of Sister Bailing, Daoist suspects that you are much more lost than us!" ”
As soon as the Taoist priest's words fell, Sister Bailing nodded in approval, I didn't understand the meaning of this, and looked at the Taoist priest: "How do you say this?" ”
The Taoist priest sighed and said, "Don't you understand? The mass grave did not disappear, but was moved to a field by a powerful method. In other words, those resentful souls who died in vain, along with those grave bags, have been in a world that does not exist. ”
I still can't quite understand, the Taoist priest shook his head helplessly, and then Sister Bailing explained on the side: "It's not as complicated as he said, you can think of the village monument as a door, it connects to another world, and the mass graves and the undead have been moved to that world and sealed." The Taoist priest and the police officer just lingered by the door, and you and the policewoman went directly into the door, which is why you came across those things. ”
When I said this, it dawned on me, and then I felt a little incredible: "Oh my God, so everything I just experienced is true?" Not a fantasy? The monsters that came out of the grave bag are real? Damn, this is too scary! ”
Sister Bailing patted me and comforted: "It's okay, those things are real only in that world, but for us, that world doesn't exist, it's purely accidental that you broke in tonight, the probability of this is too low, it's just a coincidence of bad luck, it's okay." ”
I thought to myself, how could this be accidental, all these recent fucking accidents have been on me. But Sister Bailing said so, and I didn't want her to worry, so I didn't say anything, and when I looked back at the Taoist priest, I found that he was frowning, as if he was thinking about something.
