Chapter 234: In the River God
Drowning in the Tianshui River was a woman, about the same age as her grandmother's grandmother, and many people felt sad and sad for her, thinking that she had accidentally fallen into the river and drowned.
But in the following month, two more women fell innocently into the river, and although they were both rescued, one of them choked on too much water and died.
Another rescued girl recalled that they were on the shore, but out of nowhere, a gust of wind blew directly into the river.
While in the river, she also saw a figure who asked her if she would marry her.
The woman recalled that she was scared and said that she would marry if she could save her, and then she was unconscious, and when she woke up again, she had already been rescued from the sea.
After listening to the woman's words, all the villagers were a little incredulous, some said that the woman saw a vision after falling into the water, and some people said that the woman had encountered a water ghost, anyway, this matter was in Taihang County...... At that time, it was just a village that spread the word.
However, because feudal superstition was overthrown at that time, although some people rumored that women encountered water ghosts or something, no one believed it.
It wasn't until a few days later that the woman was found hanged in her home, still wearing a red wedding dress when she died.
No one knew what was going on, but my grandmother's grandmother knew it, because she had seen the masked man when she fell into the river, and the same masked man had asked her if she wanted to marry him, and if she married him, she would be rescued from the river.
But at that time, grandma's grandma thought it was a hallucination, so she didn't answer, if grandma's grandma answered at that time, then it is estimated that now and this woman who committed suicide must have an end.
Grandma's grandmother felt that this woman's suicide in a red wedding dress must have something to do with the masked man in the river, maybe it was really just like what people rumored, there were water ghosts in the Tianshui River!
She told her husband her conjecture, and it is worth mentioning here that my grandmother's grandmother married the man who rescued her ashore.
After listening to the words of my grandmother's grandmother (the grandmother who replaces her grandmother hereinafter), my grandfather was silent for a while, and then asked my grandmother not to think about it.
According to what my great-grandfather said, even if there is really a water ghost, then he has found the bride now, and the bride in red who committed suicide must have been picked up by the masked man in the river, so it is estimated that the Tianshui River should calm down.
The great-grandmother nodded, thinking that everything in her heart would be just as good as what the great-grandfather said.
Things can be regarded as the way the great grandfather thought, and in the next few years, there were no more drowning people in Tianshui River, and everything seemed to be calm again.
But it was the third year after my great-grandmother gave birth, and the fourth year after the bride in red committed suicide.
Tianshui River appeared again in the river, the person who fell into the river is still a woman, after she was rescued again, she was frightened and said that there were people in the river, there were monsters in the river and something like that, and a few days after returning home, the woman went crazy.
After her, several village women fell into the river one after another, and although there were no deaths, the women who fell into the river said that they saw a man with a mask.
Because there have been many incidents, not one or two accidents, the village chief's daughter is also involved, and she is the only one of all the women who fell into the river who promised to marry the masked man.
The village chief was afraid that his daughter would end up with the bride in red who committed suicide four years ago, so for the sake of his daughter and the whole village, he asked someone to invite a senior monk from Wutai Mountain.
When the monk arrived in Taihang Village, the village chief's daughter had already made trouble at home several times, and each time she was seen in a trance wearing a red dress and wanted to commit suicide.
Fortunately, someone watched and saved her in time, and the next morning, the daughter of the village chief in a trance would return to normal, but at night, she changed again, and she wanted to commit suicide in a red wedding dress like crazy.
When the monk came to the village, it happened to be evening, just in time for the village chief's daughter to fall ill.
At that moment, she glanced at the village chief's daughter who was pressed on the bed by two village women, and saw the village chief's daughter roaring with a hideous face, "Let go of me, I want to accompany him, I want to marry him." ”
The monk narrowed his eyes slightly, and fell silent.
The village chief on the side hurriedly asked the monk how he was good and if there was a way to save his daughter.
After thinking about it, the monk finally stepped forward and recited a scripture to the village chief's daughter who was pressed to the bed.
I don't know what scriptures the monk recites.
It was only in the process of reciting the scriptures that the face of the village chief's daughter changed from hideous at first to painful, and then begged the monk to stop, and then shouted "help".
Seeing his daughter in such pain, the village chief couldn't bear it, and he wanted to step forward to stop the monk from reciting the mantra, but he was stopped by the little novice who came with the monk.
"Master Haokong is exorcising the evil spirits in your daughter's body, and if you go to stop it now, you will harm your daughter."
Hearing the words of the little novice, the village chief and the villagers in the house were shocked.
"Demons? You say my daughter has evil spirits in her? ”
"Naturally, it's the upper body of the evil ghost, otherwise why do you think she wants to die or live to marry something in the river, this is the evil ghost controlling her body, talking with her mouth to confuse you."
Xiao Shami said with a disdainful face to the village chief and the people around him.
After listening to the words of this little novice, the village chief couldn't help but stomp his feet, he originally thought that his daughter was confused by some kind of technique, but he didn't expect it to be an evil ghost.
The monk was still reciting the scriptures, and at this time, the evil ghost in the village chief's daughter's body couldn't hide it, and it also exposed her true appearance, and directly opened her mouth and shouted viciously to the monk, "Stinky monk, I have no grievances with you, why do you want to put me to death." ”
The monk ignored her, but continued to chant the scriptures, but the little novice stepped forward, pointed to the daughter of the village chief on the bed and shouted, "If you do evil things in your upper body, my master will naturally not let you go." ”
As the little novice finished speaking, the village chief's daughter shouted with pain on her face, "You guys...... You let me go, I was also forced, my nature is not bad. ”
The evil ghost on the village chief's daughter began to intercede, but no one paid attention to him, only a cold snort from the little novice.
Seeing that it was useless to be subdued, the evil ghost immediately shouted, "Stinky monk, if you kill me, my master will not let you go, he is ......"
Before the evil ghost finished speaking, she heard a swastika in the monk's mouth, which indicated that she had finished reading the scriptures.
The demon's eyes widened at this moment, and with a scream, it turned into a wisp of smoke and flew out of the body of the village chief's daughter, and then dissipated and disappeared.
After the demon left her body, the village chief's daughter fainted in collapse.
The village chief hurriedly ran over to see the situation, while the rest of the villagers looked at the monk nervously and in awe, and no one dared to breathe.
On the contrary, the senior monk said to the onlookers at this time: "Which donor can take me to the river where the accident happened?" ”
