Chapter 35: The Mystery of the Mountain Ghosts
Under Lan's guidance, I quickly returned to the place where I broke up with Sister Bailing, but there was still no trace of them, and I don't know if they hadn't come back yet, or if they couldn't find me after they came back, and they went looking for me again.
I was a little anxious, Lan looked at me apologetically at this time, and said, "Reporter, I'm sorry, it's all because of me." ”
Reporter, it's that I'm not used to her calling me brother, I always feel like I'm panicked when I hear it, so I let her call me a reporter. It's not that I don't want to tell her her real name, but it also feels weird to call her real name, and since I met the Taoist priest, I've become accustomed to the title of 'reporter', so by the way, I let Lan call her that.
"It's okay, it's not your ......" I sighed, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked her: "By the way, just now I saw the bewildered baby again, he appeared here, so is the other female ghost also nearby?" ”
Lan frowned slightly: "No, just now you passed here, I only felt the popularity of the three of you, and there could be no one else." ”
My heart sank and I asked her, "You mean, isn't that a baby?" ”
Lan nodded, and then I also remembered the strange thing that happened in the morning, the iron egg that suddenly appeared, led people to the cave and then suddenly disappeared, it was obviously fake, just to lead people to a dangerous place, it was not a person at all. I immediately worried about the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest is not familiar with the mountains and forests in his hometown, and he didn't recognize that the baby was fake just now, so he rushed to catch up, if he fell into the trap, it would be bad.
I can only hope that Sister Bailing can catch up with him, otherwise with the urine nature of a Taoist priest, she will definitely be hit.
"Hey, by the way, you just said that the reason why the other ghost hooked the iron egg baby is related to the tragedy in Wawu Village, what is the relationship?"
I suddenly remembered the question that I didn't get answered just now, and the encounter that Lan told just now and the experience of the grandfather told by Sister Bailing were connected, and suddenly my attention was diverted, and I forgot to ask about the female ghost, and at this time I remembered it, maybe it was related to the baby I saw just now, so I continued to ask.
Lan sighed, and there was a little sympathy on her face: "Alas, her name is Qiao'er, and she is also a hard-working girl, and she is also a lonely soul in the mountains, and I have communicated with her." She died 30 years ago as a girl from a nearby village, and at the age of 17 she was sold by her family to a 40-year-old bachelor in the village. After she got married, she not only had to serve the lazy man all day long, but also was often beaten and scolded, and she did the heavy work and suffered a lot. ”
Fortunately, God has eyes, Qiao'er married for less than a year, the lazy man died violently, I thought that the hard days were over, Qiao'er, who had just turned eighteen, returned to her parents' house, but was sold to a family in a neighboring village by her family who had lost her conscience. The son of the family was a fool, but he finally didn't abuse Qiao'er, and he thought that he could live a peaceful life like this, but he didn't expect that in less than two years, the fool died suddenly. At this time, although Qiao'er had married two men, but she was only twenty years old, and her outings became more and more watery, the fool's uncle had always had thoughts about Qiao'er, and as soon as the fool died, his uncle immediately forcibly occupied Qiao'er, Qiao'er was humiliated, and told the matter, but she was beaten upside down, saying that she was water-based Yanghua, and the matter of her killing two men was also shaken out......"
The mountain people are feudal, their thinking is also pedantic, they kill men, and they also seduce their uncles.
At the instigation of the fool's uncle, the fool's parents united with the impulsive mountain people to strip Qiao'er naked and stuff it into the pig cage with private law. This is a criminal thing, but thirty years ago, especially in this isolated village in the deep mountains and old forests of the 100,000 mountains, such a thing could not be managed.
Stealing a man and killing a husband is a felony in a remote mountain village that has not yet been fully naturalized. In this way, Qiao'er was wronged by the mountain people to enforce private law, naked, with her limbs tied, and thrown into the mountains, bitten to death by leopards, dragged into the beast's den, and became food for wild beasts.
Soon after, a deep resentment turned Qiao'er into a lonely soul, and it was an extremely fierce soul. For the first ten years, she wandered around in this mountain forest, but whenever she met a young man who entered the mountain, she would become her target.
Because of the suffering and injustice he suffered in his life, he hated men extremely much, especially those who were young and strong. The bachelors who abused her, the uncle who took her by force and killed her with a bite, and the men who took turns insulting her before throwing her into the mountains, these were the men she hated, hated these men who were inferior to beasts.
Qiao'er was born with a water spirit and is very beautiful, and after becoming a ghost, her charm is even more amazing, and few men can not be confused by her. Those men who are targeted by her, after she sucks up the yang energy, she will show the appearance of being gnawed by the beast after death, just like the legend of the mountain people, whether she is afraid or not, she is facing a dead end.
I sighed, there was a knife on the head of the color word, this is really true, if I can not move like a mountain before the beauty, no matter how resentful Qiao'er is, she will not kill, she behaves like this, she no longer believes that there are good men in this world!
Later, when Lan was wandering in the mountains and forests, he happened to bump into Qiao'er's ghost and was doing something with a bewitched young man. After the incident, Qiao'er was about to kill the frightened young man, but Lan stopped her, rescued the young man, and helped him escape from the forest.
This was Lan's unintentional move, but through the grateful propaganda of the young man who escaped the catastrophe, since then, there has been another legend of a mountain ghost in ten miles and eight towns...... Legend has it that the mountain ghost is a beautiful goddess who specializes in sheltering the deities of the mountain people who enter the mountain......
I sighed in my heart, and suddenly understood what the different mountain ghost legends are about, mountain ghosts confuse people and kill people, and there is another kind of mountain ghost to save people and help people, the image of the mountain ghost in the two legends, eighty percent is Qiao'er and Lan.
Since that time to stop Qiao'er, under Lan's kind guidance and persuasion, Qiao'er's resentment has been alleviated a lot, and she has not been confused and killed the mountain people since then. But just over a month ago, something happened suddenly.
Yeling, since Lan's death, Yeling has somehow been silent for a hundred years, but after a hundred years, Yeling has finally undergone a change again. The black fog surged out, and every time the yin qi was at its peak, a large number of extremely evil black fog filled the mountains and forests within a radius of 100 miles, and all the mountain spirits and wild monsters, lonely souls and wild ghosts in this forest were all affected, and many kind mountain spirits were affected by the black fog, and their personalities changed greatly, devouring and killing, and they were ferocious, as if they were enchanted.
And Qiao'er was also affected by the black fog, and the resentment that had been dissipated gathered again, and attacked the man who entered the mountain again.
