Chapter 273: Her Story (Three Watches)
After dawn, as soon as Zhang Guoguo finished washing, he pulled me to see the snake bone woman, Wu Tian was holding a bowl in the back, and his expression was wooden: "Guoguo... Let's go after dinner..."
"Don't eat, don't eat! I don't want to eat! She hurriedly pulled me out, and I was so anxious that I shouted, "I want to eat..."
"Wait! I'll go too! If you're hungry, you can eat! Wu Tian couldn't leave Guoguo for a minute, and immediately came out with a bowl.
I really couldn't help it, so I took her down the path, and Wu Tian hurriedly followed, still holding a bowl in his hand.
But luckily, I had the foresight to come out with my bag on my back, which contained something that would come in handy.
The fat boy was still sleeping in the house and hadn't fully recovered, so I didn't wake him up.
The three of them went down the path, and I stared at the bowl in Wu Tian's hand all the way, and the porridge inside smelled fragrant and tempting.
This kid followed Zhang Guoguo with a bowl, like a prepared ration, which came in handy as he was ready.
But Guoguo only wanted to see the snake bone woman, and didn't care about Wu Tian's good intentions at all.
"Wu Tian, let me tell you something." I patted him on the shoulder, "This porridge is cold if you don't drink it, why don't you give it to me." ”
He looked at me with a standard smirk on his face, and came to Zhang Guoguo's side with the bowl.
Going down the path, there was not much distance in the first place, and we walked fast, and as we walked, we saw through the fog a lonely grave like a head appeared in front of us.
The early morning fog in the mountains was shrouded, the visibility was very low, and the place where the sight could not reach was far, this lonely grave suddenly appeared, and I almost stepped on it, and I was startled and hurriedly stopped: "It's here!" ”
The two stopped when they heard this, and Wu Tian stood in front of the grave with a bowl, his face suddenly becoming a little nervous.
"Are you scared? If you're scared, go back and remember to put the porridge down. I glanced at Wu Tian's face, thinking about the bowl of porridge.
When he heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and frowned, "It's not... I felt a strange aura, I can't put it into words..."
"Is the snake woman here?" Zhang Guoguo asked curiously, she poked her head into the fog, as if she wanted to remove the fog.
Seeing this, I suddenly became curious about one thing: "By the way, why can you see spirits?" ”
It stands to reason that people who can see spirit bodies are different from ordinary people, for example, my brother and I can see them, mainly thanks to the ring in his hand, Wu Tian can see it, because of the cultivation of warlocks.
So why can Guoguo see it? I didn't know much about it all along.
As soon as the words were asked, Wu Tian sneered mockingly on the side, and his tone became yin and yang: "Heh! This is the level of being an older brother, and he doesn't even know why his sister can see spirits. ”
When I heard his tone, I immediately became angry, walked over and grabbed my ear, lifted it vigorously, and said proudly: "You know, then tell me why." ”
"It hurts, it hurts!" He was grabbed by my ear and grinned in pain: "You let go first!" Let's let it go! ”
"Okay." I let go of him, then brought the bowl of porridge to me, stood aside and drank the porridge and asked him, "Say it." ”
"You! When he saw me drinking porridge, his face was deformed with anger: "That's for Guoguo!" ”
"What a pity it wasted if you don't drink it?" The more I talked, the more energetic I became, so that he could stop talking nonsense and hurry up.
He was angry for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Listen, that's because my master discovered before that in addition to her normal two eyes, Guoguo has a third special eye that can help her see spirits and ghosts!" ”
"Third eye?! Where?! When I heard this, I was so frightened that the bowl in my hand fell, and I hurriedly looked at Guoguo's face to find where the third eye was.
“... Not on the face. ”
"Huh?! Got a long body?! "I was so anxious that I almost jumped.
"It's not..."Wu Tiantian grabbed me and said: "The third eye means that her eyes have the nature of yin and yang eyes, and they can be psychic, not really have one eye." ”
"That's right." I nodded suddenly and thought, "It turns out that Guoguo has yin and yang eyes, but why didn't Liu Kuaikou say anything when he brought her over?" Having said that, Guoguo's life experience has always been a mystery, and I don't know until now, so it seems that I have the opportunity to ask Liu Kuaikou well. ”
I was thinking about something, Guoguo began to walk into the fog, as I continued to go deeper, one after another graves appeared in sight, Wu Tian and I followed behind, during which he asked me: "Brother Tu, do you know the story about the snake bone woman?" ”
I shook my head when I heard this: "There is more than one snake bone woman in the world, how can I know it." ”
He told me: "Regarding the statement of the snake bone woman, since ancient times, people have not been able to distinguish whether she is good or evil, some people say that she kills people and eats people, which is evil, but some people say that she saves people and helps others, and she is good. ”
"The existence of the snake bone woman can be said to be the ultimate expression of love for women in the world." When he said this, I nodded: "It's true, I have seen the content of the snake bone woman in the "Hundred Ghost Records", it is said that after the death of their husband, they began to guard the grave, day and night, regardless of time, tirelessly, to the people who passed, if there was someone who was not kind to the grave, she would control the two snakes to attack each other. ”
"Yes!" Wu Tian nodded and said seriously: "Behind every snake bone woman, there is a tragic story, but the most painful thing is those who guard the grave day and night, and even they don't know that they have become a snake bone woman." ”
"In their minds, they only remember that they are just guarding their husband's grave and protecting him."
"But about the snake bone woman, there is a prototype story recorded in "Hundred Ghost Records". I remembered in my head and told him the story.
A thousand years ago, witchcraft was all the rage, and one of the strongest sorcerers was named Emon.
With the prevalence of witchcraft, the people pursued and worshiped the gate very much, and even gradually surpassed the Son of Heaven in the court.
However, because of jealousy, Emon was framed and ordered to be beheaded all over the house, even the children who were still in infancy at the time were not spared. Except for the lady of the guard, who escaped because of her self-disfigurement.
After the death of the guard, his wife changed his name to the fifth woman, and Yuyu buried the bones of him and his child, put them into the earth, settled down in front of the tomb, and was accompanied by snakes all day long.
If someone accidentally broke into her husband's rest, she drove the two snakes to attack and drive him away, and it has not changed for decades.
Since then, witchcraft has gradually declined and even been forgotten.
After a long time, even she herself didn't remember whether she was alive or dead, she only knew that she couldn't let others disturb her husband, but she lived alone and painfully.
"This story may be the first snake bone woman in the world." I still remember the first time I watched this story, I felt a little moved in my heart, I can't say that I am a chaste martyr, but I am also a person with deep affection.
"Then do you know who the snake bone woman you saw is?" Wu Tian asked me, "And the person she guards, who is it?" ”
I shook my head and said I didn't know, it would have been a surprise to suddenly meet the snake bone woman here.
"Before, when the master was still alive, he used the magic circle to expel all the ghosts and monsters within a radius of ten miles, including the snake bone woman, and at that time, her painful screams could be heard from far away almost day and night."
Wu Tiandao: "Now that the master has died, these ghosts have returned, but no one knows the story of the snake bone woman, not even me." ”
"These tombs have been here for a long time, according to Master, when he was a child, he followed Master to study, and when he came here, the tomb and the snake bone woman are already here."
Wu Tian told me what happened, which was a big surprise and a little unexpected.
"It's been so long?"
"Yes, in fact, I have always wanted to know who the person buried in this grave is, and who is the woman guarding his grave."
When I heard him say this, I fell into deep thought, and suddenly thought of something, and asked him jokingly, "You kid shouldn't be very envious, right?" ”
"Of course not!" He immediately shook his head and denied: "If there is really someone who loves me so much, I hope that after I die, I can not bother her, or even forget about me, and go to live a new life, there are many scenery and people in the world to see, walk around, so good." ”
