On July 15, 1999, the Middle Year Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival, the Yin Qi is the most victorious, the Yang Qi is weak, it is said that the gates of hell will be opened today, and the ghosts and ghosts parade to enjoy blood and food, this day has almost become a taboo for the living.

There is a nursery rhyme that sings: "In the middle of July, the ghost door is opened, the lonely soul and wild ghost don't run around, even if you take the incense, candles, paper money, don't go out, talk less, don't look back when you hear the words in the middle of the night, don't want to leave when your back is cold..."

The geographical location of the junction of Shanxi and Hebei is remote and inhumane, and there is a small village called 'Pimple Village' in the depths of the mountains, where about 100 families live.

As the red-hot sun disappeared into the mountains, the sky quickly darkened, and the villages that had not yet been electrified were connected with red lights, adding a warm touch of color to the desolate mountains.

After a while, wisps of smoke and paper ash floated high, everyone walked in a hurry, with a touch of fear on their faces, burned two bundles of paper money, and after a while in their mouths, they kowtowed a few times, and dragged up the children who were playing on the side and closed the door tightly, and there was no sound anymore.

Throughout the village, the silence was terrible, and almost every house had a pile of paper ashes burned in front of their door. A dog barked all over the village, and the fierce barking of the dog resounded through the village like popcorn, as if it had seen something unusual.

In the middle of the night, just after midnight, the dense rain showed no sign of it, hiding the village in a curtain of water.

Crunch...

The faint sound of the door opening broke the silence, and a figure in a black raincoat sneaked out of the door, vaguely holding a hoe-like object in his hand, stumbling out of the village and crawling towards the back hill.

The mountain breeze accompanied by the rain wept like a complaint, like a ghost crying, adding a strange and terrifying atmosphere to this rainy night.

The black image was prepared for a long time, and walked straight to a mound of earth, looking at the shape of a lonely grave, and the rain ploughed out shallow ditches on the grave, indicating that the grave soil had not sunk and should have been newly buried for a short time.

"Apricot girl, I'm sorry, my brother has revenge to avenge, I can only borrow your hand, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely make you a cow and a horse..."

The voice was slightly hoarse, but I could vaguely distinguish a man who should be around fifty years old.

Ignoring the mud on the ground, the man knelt down on the spot and kowtowed a few times, the muddy water on his forehead ran down his cheeks to his mouth, stood up and took a sip, picked up his hoe and began to dig the grave.

After digging for a while, a corner of the red cloth was revealed, and the man threw his hoe aside, jumped down from the grave and began to dig it up with his hands---

A large red cloth wrapped in something, lying quietly in the grave, looking at the outline of a person, or a corpse, wrapped in the outline, even under the night rain, can be clearly seen.

The body was shrouded in red cloth, and there was not even a coffin.

The red cloth was densely carved with esoteric incantations, entangled the corpse like a snake.

The man looked at the corpse and was silent for a while, took out a huge oil-paper umbrella from his back, isolated the rain, and then took out a package from his arms, carefully opened it, took out three pillars of sandalwood soaked in corpse oil for seven days and seven nights from the package, lit it and inserted it on the top of the corpse's head, bowed three more times, took out a dagger and said while cutting through the red cloth of the shroud: "Sister Xing, my brother asked the master to draw ninety-nine yin interception spells for you to absorb the yin qi here, and then seal your three souls and seven spirits with a soul fixing needle, today is not only your first seven, It's Halloween again, and the gates of hell are open, and you're sure to succeed in turning into one..."

Sting...

As the red cloth was completely cut, a female corpse in red was lying stiffly on the red cloth, staring at the sky with wide gray-white dead fish eyes, which was extremely sad.

There was a thunderclap, the man was frightened, and the package in his hand fell, he hurriedly picked it up, patting the wet mud sticking to it, when he raised his head again, through the faint light of the three incense sticks, he found that the female corpse had sat up at some point, and the eyes that were originally looking at the sky also looked at him, and there was a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth.

The picture is weird and inexplicable, a cold air that seems to be there is nothing straight to the brain, the man was so frightened that his legs and stomach were about to cramp, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "Apricot girl, I know who hurt you, the old scoundrel Cheng at the head of the village is right, others don't want to say, but I know it must be him!" I asked him to drink the day before yesterday, and I pulled a handful of his hair while he was asleep, and today I will burn it to you, so that he will not be able to run away anyway. ”

As he spoke, he took out a handful of curled yellow-brown hair from the package, which looked like a pile of weeds, and blew the fire to ignite the hair, and with the smell of burning, the hair was quickly burned to ashes, and it happened to fall on the mouth of the female corpse.

After the man finished, he stared greedily at the female corpse, laughed nervously, and his voice was as sharp as a night owl, more infiltrating than a ghost.

After laughing for a while, the man's face became fierce in vain, and he took out a small porcelain bottle, poured a few drops of liquid into the mouth of the female corpse and said: "Apricot girl, my brother knows that the biggest grudge in your heart is your unborn baby, the child is not guilty, he should not die, I haven't forgotten this, it just so happens that the daughter-in-law of the village chief's family is about to give birth, I secretly took a few drops of her eyebrows and blood when I went to visit that day, and after you drink it, you can graft the soul of the child in your belly onto the placenta in her abdomen, and when the child is born, it will become a ghost corpse in time, When the time comes, he will come to you and become your son, his old Li family has ruined my family, and I will also let him cut off his children and grandchildren! ”

After finishing speaking, the man carefully knelt down and waited, and the time passed little by little, and the man was apprehensive, expectant and afraid.

Suddenly, the half-burned incense bar of the three pillars broke, and a terrible and unusual wail spread throughout the four fields, and even the torrential rain stopped, and the barking dogs in the village stopped abruptly, whimpering and shrinking.

The man was also frightened and turned pale, he was an ordinary person after all, where had he seen such a strange thing, he could only keep kowtowing, and even smashed a small hole in the ground.

Cluck...

The female corpse let out a laugh from her mouth, turned her head mechanically, and looked at the kowtowing man, two lines of bloody tears left from her eyes, pulling out two dazzling lines of blood on her pale face.

After a while, he lay down with a thud.

The man raised his head tremblingly, saw that the eyes of the female corpse had been closed, and his expression was even slightly serene, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Sister Xing, it seems that your wish has been fulfilled, then you will cultivate here steadily, and after killing that Cheng's head, don't forget the request of the elder brother, I want the old Li family, and the chicken and dog will not stay!! ”

After that, he got up and prepared to bury the female corpse again, but unexpectedly, the female corpse with closed eyes suddenly stretched out her hands, clamped the man, opened her big mouth, and directly tore the corners of her mouth, and two rows of pitch-black fangs bit his neck in the man's frightened screams.

'Plopping'

The man's eyes stared, and his legs on the ground slowly stopped, and the excavated grave soil gradually flowed back like a living thing, burying the female corpse again, and there was no trace of passivity...

...

Two months passed in a flash, and the old Li family in the east of the village.

The Li family, who have lived here for generations, rely on a little Qihuang technique passed down from their ancestors, treating diseases and saving countless people, and often does not charge medical fees, and is very respected in Pimple Village.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the Double Ninth Festival, the autumn is high and cool, the dry heat subsides, the people in the village are busy preparing for the ancestor worship, the fragrance of pork and mutton fills the air, people can't help but take a few deep breaths, a peaceful and peaceful.

However, the faces of the old Li family are full of gloomy clouds, Lao Li squatted in the corner, his eyes glanced at the closed door after a while, the thumb of his right hand kept rubbing on the cigarette pouch, and the smoke pot in his mouth was extinguished at some point, he was still sucking at the bar, his dark face was wrinkled horizontally, like an earthworm, and his originally amiable face was full of worry at this time.

"Dad, hurry up, Carbon!"

An emaciated young woman pushed the door open, her voice urgent.

Lao Li Tou dropped the smoking pot and hurriedly took out pieces of carbon cubes from the basket beside him and sent them into the room.

On the kang head, a black and purple baby is crying in swaddling clothes, and the mouth is exhaling a cloud of white mist, although it is autumn, but these days are the autumn tiger is powerful, and it is unbearable to heat up, and there are five or six pots of charcoal fire in the room that keep burning but it is still surprisingly cold.

The woman was soaked in sweat, her hair was sticking to her face, her eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't help but burst into tears when she looked at the shivering baby, and choked up: "Dad... Xiao Fan, what's wrong with him, you have to think of a way."

"Wait, Huzi is going to find someone."

Old Li frowned tightly to form a 'Sichuan' word, as if he could kill a fly, sighed heavily in his heart, the Li family has been passed down from generation to generation, and this generation is a lone seedling, the daughter-in-law just gave birth to Xiaofan was told that she can no longer give birth, and the family can't wait to put this little guy in their hearts every day, who would have thought that this is just out of the moon, it will become like this, the whole body is cold like a piece of ice, in recent days, even the milk has not been eaten, the family is anxious, and even the provincial capital of the tertiary hospital has run a trip, and there is no way.

In desperation, Lao Li Tou had no choice but to hope for the magic of gods and ghosts, and Li Huzi, that is, the child's father, went out to find a capable person.

When he was at a loss, Li Huzi's strong voice came from outside the house, and Lao Li Tou hurriedly patted his sleeves and welcomed him out.

As soon as he saw Lao Li, Li Huzi said: "Dad, you guessed right, this Taoist chief said that our Xiaofan is evil." ”

Lao Li Tou hurriedly said: "There is a Taoist chief, please in the house, please in the house, Cuilian, hurry up and pour tea for the Taoist chief." ”

After settling down, I took a closer look at the past, the person who came had sharp cheeks, a goatee, and only a little bit of eyebrows, looking like he had casually clicked two black dots with a brush, and his body was thin, only about one meter five, and the clothes on his body were dirty and torn.

"Don't know the Changzun?" Lao Li asked with his hand.

Without waiting for the old Dao to speak, Li Huzi had already preemptively said: "Dao Chief's Dao number is Yu Xuzi, this little Dao Leader is his apprentice." ”

Lao Li's heart sank slightly, this appearance is the same as the people who walked the streets and alleys in the past, cheating on eating and drinking, his grandson was seriously ill, this tiger was stunned, why did he invite such a person back! Hey, what else can I do, now I can only use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, my old Li family has been practicing medicine for generations to save people, and has never done evil, I don't think it should be so hard...

Just as Lao Li Tou was thinking about it, Yu Xuzi had already led the little boy beside him into the room.

Lao Li Tou hurriedly followed.

After only glancing at the kang, he turned his head and asked Lao Li, "Who have you sinned against?" ”

Lao Li was stunned for a moment, and said: "Absolutely not, our Li family practices medical treatment on weekdays, and the money collected is the lowest, only taking the capital, and even if I have no money to pay for medical expenses, I also send medicine for free, how can I offend people!" ”

Yu Xuzi nodded, there was no trace of evil resentment on this old man Li, and the Lingtai was bright and bright, indicating that what he said was true.
