Chapter 140: Rotten Bones (10)
The lights went out suddenly.
The Taoist priest opened his eyes and looked at the black hole in the room.
Eyes, quickly adjusting to the darkness, he looked at the window, the corners of his mouth hooked up, revealing a disdainful smile.
Moonlight, light shift. Fell to the ground through the window.
The Taoist priest saw a woman standing at the window, and the woman's wide clothes moved without the wind. He narrowed his eyes, picked up a piece of talisman paper in front of him, and silently muttered a few words in his mouth. The rune paper ignited, and there was a glimmer of light in the room.
"Just a little ghost, dare to come to my place."
The Taoist priest said, throwing the talisman paper in his hand towards the woman at the window. The rune paper flew straight away with a "whoosh", and when it reached the window, the window opened, and the rune paper flew out.
The Taoist priest squinted, but did not hear the expected mournful cry of the female ghost. Frowning, he got up and walked towards the window. The courtyard was empty, but there was a faint sound of singing.
"I'm really underestimating you."
The Taoist priest lifted the sword placed in the doorway, opened the door and walked out. At this moment, the door behind him closed automatically with a "pop". The Taoist priest turned around, and the door that had been closed opened again. He saw a woman with a disheveled hair hanging from the roof of his room. Just as he turned around, the woman who was hanging suddenly raised her head and stared at him, an eerie cold light shooting out from between her messy hair. The female ghost's tongue was long and laughed from her throat.
"Look for death!"
The Taoist priest lifted his sword and stabbed at the female ghost, but the sword slid past the female ghost's body.
"Damn!"
The Taoist priest scolded and lifted his sword again. The female ghost in front of him suddenly disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, he came to him. The female ghost reached out and grabbed him by the throat violently, her long scarlet nails sinking into his flesh. The Taoist priest was in pain, frowned and shouted, and stabbed the sword into the female ghost's body with his backhand.
"Do you think you'll be able to kill me again?" The female ghost sneered, and the hand that was pinched between the throat of the Taoist priest used some more strength.
It was a pair of hands that seemed to be soaked in ice, and Taoist priests used to like these hands very much. But now, the hands were pale, and they were clenched tightly around their throats, tighter and tighter, tighter and tighter.
For the first time, the Taoist priest felt the breath of death.
He struggled, gently shaking his cuffs. A piece of yellow rune paper fell into his hand. With his last breath, he uttered the incantation. Rune paper, lit up. He raised his hand and pasted the talisman paper on the female ghost's body.
This is a ghost-exorcism talisman left by the ancestor to save his life. Whether it is a little ghost or an old ghost who has been cultivating for many years, as long as he gets it, his soul will be scattered in an instant. I don't know if it's because this rune paper has been hidden by him for too many years, so it has no use in the slightest. There was despair in the Taoist priest's eyes, and his whole face turned gray. He took one last look at the female ghost, and all kinds of past events came up in an instant.
The first time I saw Yu Niang was during the Lantern Festival. The good men and women in the city will go to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings, and ask him for peace and blessings by the way. Jade Niang came alone. Unlike the people next to her, she had a palpable sadness on her face, so much so that she caught his gaze as soon as she appeared.
Yu Niang was so good-looking, coupled with the sadness that couldn't hide her sadness, it was easy to jump out of those people. He is a Taoist priest, and he is also a Taoist priest who cultivates in the red dust. Being in Hongchen, it is inevitable to be snobbish, and when he first noticed Yu Niang, he just thought that he could sell her more rune paper.
Yu Niang begged for a sign and asked him to solve it before taking it. According to the past habit, whether the other party asks for a sign or a sign, he can say some good and some bad. But when he saw the sign that Yu Niang begged for, he was stunned. Because it's the worst team he's ever seen. He raised his head, looked at Yu Niang's beautiful face, did not unsign, but asked directly: "What difficulties have you encountered in Madame's family?" Is there a sick person in the family? ”
Yu Niang nodded.
"Who is it?" The Taoist priest asked again, putting aside the sign in his hand.
Yu Niang glanced at it, and understood seven or eight points in her heart. She folded her hands and said, "It's the slave's father-in-law." ”
"Is it an incurable disease?"
Yu Niang nodded again.
"Even if it was brought out of the mother's womb, although it was carefully raised by the mother-in-law when she was a child, the disease is getting worse and worse. The mother-in-law was worried, so she asked the slave family to come to this mountain. My mother-in-law said that the Taoist chief is a person who has some Taoism, and I hope that I can use the gods to relieve some of the pain of my father-in-law. ”
The Taoist priest frowned and said, "Since it is fate to meet, the poor Taoist saw that his wife was sincere, so he followed his wife down the mountain to take a look." ”
That was the first time the Taoist priest went to Yu Niang's house, and it was also the first time he saw Yu Niang's husband. With just one glance, he felt that Yu Niang had lost. Such a beautiful woman like flowers and jade actually married a sick tuberculosis ghost, and she was still a sick tuberculosis ghost who was born a little ugly.
learned from the mouth of Yu Niang's mother-in-law that Yu Niang was bought at home since she was a child, in order to be a lady for this sick ghost. Yu Niang's mother-in-law treats this daughter-in-law quite well, but the sick ghost only has one mouth left, but she still keeps cursing Yu Niang. No matter what Yu Niang says or does, it is not good to fall into his eyes.
The Taoist priest watched from the sidelines, and some boredom arose in his heart. But because of Yu Niang's request and Yu Niang's mother-in-law taking out the silver, he still reluctantly did something for the sick ghost, and gave him some pills by the way. These pills, although they could not cure his tuberculosis, could relieve some of his pain.
The next time I saw Yu Niang, it was half a month later. Compared with the day of the Lantern Festival, the sorrow on her face is still the same, and there is something more in the sorrow.
Yu Niang told him that since taking those pills, her family had been much better. This time, she went up the mountain, in addition to asking the Taoist priest for some pills on the order of her mother-in-law, she also came to thank him.
In addition to the silver, Yu Niang also brought some vegetarian snacks that she made herself. When the Taoist priest accepted it, Yu Niang rarely showed a smile on her face. Although the smile was very shallow, it inadvertently touched the heartstrings of the Taoist priest, and he suddenly felt that he liked this jade girl a little.
If everything had stopped at that time, perhaps none of the things that followed would have happened. But because of his medicines, Yu Niang went up the mountain again and again, and the more he came into contact with Yu Niang, the more he felt sorry for the various experiences of this little lady, and the more uncontrollable he was to her.
One day half a year later, Yu Niang went up the mountain again to ask for medicine, but encountered a heavy rain and was stopped on the mountain. As a last resort, Yu Niang had to stay in the Taoist temple to rest, and then go down the mountain after the rain and the sky cleared on the second day. The demon in his heart, accompanied by the thunderstorm, the Taoist priest could not control himself and secretly opened the guest room where Yu Niang was on a rainy night and sneaked into her room.
He didn't want to do anything, he just couldn't help but want to take a look. But this look, I can't control it anymore. In the pleading and struggling of Yu Niang, he got Yu Niang.
Although Yu Niang has been married to a wife, she is still an innocent woman because she married a sick husband. But on that innocent body, the Taoist priest saw many scars on the superposition of the old and the new. It turned out that Yu Niang's husband who couldn't do things always used various excuses to commit violence against Yu Niang. Because those scars were all on the body, Yu Niang's mother-in-law didn't know, and Yu Niang was ashamed to open her mouth and didn't tell her mother-in-law.
For Yu Niang, Xianggong is seriously ill, and she is worried. The husband is better, but she is also worried. Because whenever the prime minister can move, he will inflict atrocities, and as a lady, she can only endure it silently. What happened to the Taoist temple made her ashamed and angry, but she took care of the face of her in-laws, and she couldn't die all at once.
Yu Niang hated the Taoist priest and hated herself, since then, although she was still ordered by her mother-in-law to go up the mountain to get medicine, but she always kept a distance from the Taoist priest, even if she looked at each other, her eyes were cold, and there was a trace of hatred in the cold.
Although the Taoist priest did bad things, he privately believed that he was not wrong. He likes Yu Niang, and even said that he could take off the Taoist robe on his body for Yu Niang's sake, but Yu Niang just replied coldly. She has long been married to a wife and is still living because her mother-in-law and father-in-law are still alive. When the father-in-law leaves, the mother-in-law will be a hundred years old, and she will apologize for her sins with death.
The Taoist priest was annoyed, and he took the opportunity to go to see a doctor for the sick ghost, and set up a ghost gathering array in Yu Niang's house. Yu Niang's sick husband didn't even survive two days, and was hooked to the underworld by the ghost attracted by the Taoist priest. Yu Niang's mother-in-law didn't know the truth, thinking that her son's life was over, and she didn't force it, but asked Yu Niang to invite the Taoist priest down the mountain to do a ritual for her son.
The ritual was done, and Yu Niang's sick ghost also went into the ground. The Taoist priest took advantage of the night to find Yu Niang, hoping that Yu Niang could leave with him. Xu felt that Yu Niang's sick husband was already a dead man, so the Taoist priest told all the things he had done, and claimed that it was for Yu Niang's good.
Yu Niang had to know that the priest had killed Xiang Gong because of herself, so she picked up something and fought with the Taoist priest. The movement between the two attracted Yu Niang's mother-in-law. Seeing this, the Taoist priest actually swept Yu Niang to the mountain in front of Yu Niang's mother-in-law.
Yu Niang was bullied by a Taoist priest, and Yu Niang's mother-in-law naturally didn't know about it.
The Taoist priest recruited ghosts to kill Yu Niang's father-in-law, and Yu Niang's mother-in-law didn't know.
She only knew that Yu Niang was swept to the mountain by a Taoist priest, and Yu Niang was humiliated, so she committed suicide by hanging a beam on the mountain that night. When Yu Niang's mother-in-law rushed to the mountain with her neighbors on the second day, she saw Yu Niang's cold corpse hanging from the beam of the house.
The son died, the daughter-in-law was forced to death by the Taoist priest, and the mother-in-law of Yu Niang had no heart to live anymore. All she thinks about is revenge, to avenge her poor daughter-in-law. When Yu Niang's mother-in-law was young, she heard that there was a method, so she forcibly kept Yu Niang's soul according to that method.
As for Yu Niang, she was holding her breath in her heart, and after her death, her soul turned into a ghost.
When Xing Ruyi and the fox saw Yu Niang, it was when Yu Niang returned from the Taoist temple. After turning into a ghost, Yu Niang wanted to go to the Taoist temple for revenge, but when she arrived at the door, she found that she couldn't get in at all, so she had no choice but to return home.
The Taoist priest who bullied Yu Niang was the Taoist priest who had previously summoned the unjust soul from the underworld and killed the beggar Lao Zhang. After hearing about Yu Niang, Xing Ruyi and the fox only did one thing, that is, to send Yu Niang to the Taoist temple, and put something on her, so that the Taoist priest's rune paper was completely useless.
At night, there is a cool breeze. Xing Ruyi sat with the fox on an old tree, watching the red-clothed jade lady come out of the Taoist temple.
"Alas, I can't imagine that this Taoist priest finally left in such a way." Xing Ruyi shook his legs and leaned his head on the fox: "Is this also the answer to that sentence, it's not that the time has not come." ”
