Chapter 16: The Evil of the Mother and the Child (I)

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, located in Zhaoyuan County, Jiaodong Peninsula, there was a man named Wang Er who sold wontons, and Wang Er, who had a good ancestral handicraft, opened a wonton shop at the entrance of Chengxi Street, and the business was very prosperous. Every day, from the red sun to the willows on the moon, there is an endless stream of people who come to Guangqing. Wang Er earns half a bag of copper coins every day.

One year, something strange happened suddenly.

One day, when Wang Er counted the money under the oil lamp after closing the stall, he found a few paper coins in the money pile. Wang Er thought to himself which one was playing tricks on him, so he lost a few paper money and didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, when I counted the money the next night, I found a few more paper coins.

Wang Er frowned, carefully thinking about the day's trading, and did not receive any paper money. What's going on? Did someone trick me?

On the third day, he had an extra heart and put a basin of water on the board next to him. He threw all the money he received into a basin of water. If it's paper money, it's going to float on the water. However, he spent the whole day buying and selling, and the money he collected was filled with water, and he did not find a single paper money.

The sun was setting, and Wang Er was about to roll up the shop and close the stall, when a young woman, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, came from the west street, wearing a blue cloth dress, long hair, and demented eyes, looking lifeless.

The young woman walked up to Wang Er, took out a broken scoop, and asked Wang Er to give her a bowl of wontons, and put a few copper coins on Wang Er's board, Wang Er saw that the back of her clothes was covered with dust, thinking that she was a flower child who asked for food, and he pitied her, so he filled her with a scoop of wontons, and when the woman turned around, he picked up the copper coin on the board and threw it into the basin: strange, the copper coin actually floated on the water, and then looked closely, it was indeed paper money.

Wang Er hurriedly turned around to find the woman, but the woman disappeared in a blink of an eye.

In order to prevent being deceived again, from then on, Wang Er kept the basin by his side every day. But since that day, the woman has not been there again, and the paper money has been found at other food stalls. Wang Er thought: It must have been the woman who did it. I'll tell you how to put the basin on hold. As a result, all the restaurants put water basins when collecting money. Sure enough, paper money has never been seen again.

A few days later, one evening, the sun had just set. Wang Er was about to close the shop after selling the wontons, when he suddenly found the woman coming from outside the west gate with her hair disheveled. As he walked, he shouted, "Starve my child!" Starve my child! ”

Wang Er thought, is it really a flower child who asks for food?

Wang Eryi has always been kind-hearted, and in order to find out what happened, he decided to quietly investigate. He took a snow needle and burned it on the lamp head, but it was quickly bent into a fishing hook, and he drew a white thread on the nose of the needle, and before the woman approached, he took the initiative to beckon, "Sister-in-law, do you want to buy wontons?" It's hot. ”

The woman was slightly stunned, Wang Er filled her with a scoop of wontons, and when the woman turned around to leave, he gently hung the needle on the back of the woman's clothes, so after the woman left, a long white segment was left on the ground.

Wang Er hurriedly packed up the restaurant, followed and chased along the white line, and went straight out of the city's Xiguan, outside which was a cemetery, desolate. The white line stretched all the way into the slope and disappeared in front of a newly built earthen grave.

Could it be that this woman is a hungry ghost?

That's right, the ghost uses paper money!

Wang Er thought of this, suddenly felt that the scalp was a little numb, just wanted to walk away, suddenly heard a movement in the tomb, hardened the scalp and listened carefully for a while, like the sound of a child breastfeeding, he was both scared and surprised, hurriedly ran back to report the matter to the government, the county official did not believe it, but the next day still sent two officials, with Wang Er to dig the grave to see.

The three men came to the grave and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a sound. The two officials were also a little timid, but the order could not be violated, and they had the courage to open the grave, and at a glance, they saw a red coffin in the center of the tomb, the coffin lid had been opened, and there was a female corpse lying in the red coffin, which had rotted all over her body, only the two nipples were still full and ruddy, and next to the female corpse, a boy who was not yet full moon was lying on the chest of the female corpse, sucking milk with a "tsk".

When the news came out, people flocked to watch, saying that this was a "ghost child", a child born after a woman was conceived before she was born, and the grave had been opened, and if she didn't think about it, the child would starve to death. The magistrate asked the onlookers, "Who wants to adopt this child?" ”

Because it was a ghost child, everyone was silent.

After pausing for a while, Wang Er's eyes lit up and said, "I'll go find a master for the child!" With that, he flew towards the city. After a while, an old woman in her fifties was brought in. This woman's surname was Wang, she had no name, people called her Wang, she was a prostitute when she was young, and because of her bad reputation, she never married in her life. She lives diagonally opposite Wang Er, and she has always gotten along well with Wang Er.

When the old woman came to the grave, she went down and took the child out without saying anything, and when she saw the child crying, she was not afraid of people's jokes, so she hurriedly untied her clothes and stuffed the shriveled nipple into the child's mouth.

Since then, this child has become the heart and soul of the old woman, and if there is something delicious, the child will eat it first; When the child was seven years old, the old woman sold the two wings, pooled the money to send the child to the school, and named Wang Kui. Wang Kui has been very smart since he was a child, he can study a little, and the old woman is even more in love like a pearl in the palm of her hand, she eats bran all year round, saves white noodles for her son to eat, wears patched clothes, and saves money to make new clothes for her son.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and the ghost child Wang Kui has grown into a handsome and beautiful young man, and he is full of poetry. At the age of twenty-five, he was going to enter Beijing to catch the exam, before leaving, his mother held her son's hand for a long time, the ghost child Wang Kui understood his mother's intentions, and was determined to be on the emperor's list, glorifying his ancestors, and sure enough, after entering Beijing, he won the first place in the first exam, and was sent to Henan by the emperor to be the prefect.

When the news reached Zhaoyuan, people were secretly convinced, saying that Zhaoyuan had a "ghost champion". Wang Kui, the ghost champion, went to Henan to take up his post, and returned to his hometown two years later to go to the round grave for his ancestors. At this time, the mother of the old prostitute had died, and when the ghost returned to his hometown, he was not sad at all when he heard the news, but only went to the grave of his biological mother three times, and then ordered the tomb of his biological mother to be renovated.

At this time, Wang Er, who sold wontons, was already old. He found the ghost on crutches: "Son, you also have to round the grave for your adoptive mother." She's thinking you want to die! ”

However, he never expected that the ghost champion would change his mind at this time and refuse to admit that he still had a mother who had been a prostitute. After repairing his biological mother's grave, Wang Kui returned to Henan with his men and horses. Wang Er was a man with a conscience, and when he saw that the ghost champion was so negative, he was so angry that he scolded him, saying that he was ungrateful and could not die a good death.

On the way back to Henan, the ghost champion Wang Kui suddenly encountered a torrential rain, lightning and thunder, and the negative ghost champion couldn't dodge and was struck by lightning and died in the wilderness.

He was only twenty-seven years old when he died.

"Seniors be careful, this son and mother are extremely fierce, prevent the big ones, can't prevent the small ones, the predecessors' Emei thorns are made of pure iron, and the fierce ones are fierce to this son and mother, it is a thing and a thing, don't be bitten by its nails and teeth, otherwise the corpse poison will be difficult to solve!"

The one-thorn iron king looked indifferent, the Emei thorn in his hand swirled in the palm of his hand, turned upside down and held it, and after the fierce "wow" strange cry, it was a "giggle" laugh, as if he was not afraid at all, but he didn't dare to step forward.

The Lone Thorn Iron King snorted lightly, stepped on the top of one of the coffins, and suddenly exerted his strength, and the Emei thorn in his hand was thrown fiercely, but he suddenly retreated backwards.

The Emei pierced through the air and went away, rubbing against the air, like the "wipe" sound of scissors cutting cloth, and drove the sound of breaking the air, "sigh" generally towards the son and mother fiercely, the son and mother were really afraid that the Emei thorn was not shallow, and screamed, like an orangutan breaking a branch, and jumped to a prayer building on the opposite side, and the Emei thorn pounced into the air and fell back into the hands of the Iron King.

When people in the mountains enter the mountains, they always don't forget to bring a steel knife. One picture is easy to use, and the other can drive away ghosts and evil spirits.

This has to start with Zhong Kui's fighting ghosts.

According to legend, Zhong Kui always carries a small iron ring ruler of three or two weights with him when he goes out, and as long as he encounters a ghost, he will take out the iron ring ruler and beat it hard. Don't underestimate this iron ring ruler, it is the "Soul Suppressing Divine Iron" that Zhong Kui stole from the Jade Emperor, and it took three or three years and nine months to refine it, and in Zhong Kui's hands, it is just a small ruler that weighs three or two, but it can be hit on the ghost, but it weighs a thousand catties!

Yin Cao's ghosts and goblins were almost all beaten by Zhong Kui's small iron ruler, and over time, as soon as the ghosts saw something made of iron, they scattered and fled for their lives—they suffered from Zhong Kui's iron ruler, for fear of being beaten by iron again!

The people in the mountains grasped this weakness of the ghosts, and they carried a knife with them when they went to work in the mountains, so that the ghosts did not dare to haunt themselves.

Ghosts are afraid of pig iron, which is also due to this reason.

The Emei Thorn of the One-Thorn Iron King is made of dark iron that is a higher skill than pig iron, not only has it been stained with the blood of the same kind that this son and mother are afraid of for a long time, but more importantly, the material itself is what they are afraid of.

At this time, the corpse was lying motionless on the mother's body, but her eyes were blood-red and blood-red, and the female corpse wanted to come up alive and tear everyone apart, but she was afraid of the Emei thorn, and she didn't dare to do it for a while.

At that moment, when the female corpse acted, the corpse fetus was like an embarrassed jackal, entangled the opponent in the female corpse, and could accurately jump to the neck of the person to give him a mouthful, which was extremely powerful, but in fact, it was just a strong outsider.

Because this corpse fetus is conceived by a woman, it has been separated from the mother for too long, or it is too far away from the mother's body, once it touches any thing that restrains ghosts, it will immediately turn into a puddle of pus and blood and die, this is because it is not born as a ghost, but because of the corpse of a pregnant woman and terminated the pregnancy process, forced to corpse, so it is neither a person before death, nor can it be regarded as a ghost after death, like this corpse fetus, the six reincarnations cannot be superborn, nor can they be reincarnated, they can only wander in the earthly world, and more importantly, It also looks strong and fragile, so if it really fights, it is afraid that it will not be able to survive a round, and it must also be in cahoots with the female corpse, otherwise it will be easy to be killed, which is why they are never separated easily, but they act together.
