In the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up thirsty.

I felt that I was sleeping on the bed, covered with a cotton quilt, very comfortable, touched the switch on the wall with my right hand, pressed it, and there was no electricity, and power outages in the countryside were common at that time. But I was so thirsty that I wanted to get up to see if there was a candle, but I moved my left hand and felt a rope tied to my little finger. I touched it with my right hand and found that my little fingers were congested because the rope had been tied so tightly for so long, and now I was unconscious. I wanted to untie the rope, but I couldn't untie the dead knot, so I guess I had to cut it with scissors.

But what is tied to the other end of the rope?

I touched the rope over there, but I found a finger, which was very cold, and I was shocked, what is this? I couldn't help but continue to touch it, it was a piece of clothing, and there was a person lying next to me, but I couldn't feel the body temperature.

I was so frightened that I retreated from the bed to the floor, and then I saw that the window seemed to be covered by some kind of paper, and the dim light through it showed that there seemed to be a big double happiness word on the window.

What's going on here?

I felt something fllush at my feet, and I bent down to pick it up, and when I touched it, it was a bear doll.

I realized that if I didn't guess wrong, this was Zhao Xiaoxue's room.

Is it a human or a ghost lying on the bed?

I remember that there was a desk under the window, which used to be Zhao Xiaoxue's writing desk, and there should have been scissors there. I went to the window, and at last I bumped into my desk, and as I fumbled around it, I found a candle and a match, and I hurriedly lit it.

At this time, I realized that the candle in my hand was white, and there was a red word for happiness pasted on it, and there was an same candle not far away, sitting on the candlestick.

At this time, I felt with my peripheral vision that the person on the bed seemed to have sat up.

The black line on my hand was pulled straight, as if the other end was exerting its strength and trying to pull me back.

I couldn't help but turn my head to look over, and I saw a person sitting on the bed, wearing a red wedding dress and a red hijab, facing my direction.

I panicked, and hurriedly lit the candle to my little finger, and now I didn't care about the pain, I just wanted to get rid of the rope as soon as possible.

Smelling a scorching smell, the thread was finally burned by me, and the little finger felt a hot pain, and the man in the wedding dress on the bed fell down as soon as the rope broke.

I took the candle and approached the bed carefully, and found that it was nothing more than a papier-mâché man, a skeleton made of hemp straw, and he was dressed in a wedding dress, and I lifted the red hijab from it, and proved my suspicion that the paper figure was also very rudimentary, and the nose and eyes were painted like a child's work. And the cold fingers are just the illusion that the paste has not dried.

I guess it's just scaring myself, because when I walked here just now, it was the rope that pulled the paper figure to sit up, so it scared me.

At this time, I have calmed down, think about it carefully, Uncle Zhao and the others arranged to buy medicine today, it may have been premeditated, the reason why they left me to eat, and then put sleeping pills on my cup and bowl, is to let me and Zhao Xiaoxue get married.

Now that I'm a Taoist priest, how can I still be afraid of these, if I have willow leaves now, I will definitely be able to beat all the ghosts away.

I shouted in the house: "The surname is Zhao, you immoral thing, you actually deceived me into a secret marriage, but unfortunately I am not afraid, that dumb daughter of your family will not be able to live in peace even if she is a ghost, and she is destined to be a ghost who can't get married." Now let me out, or I'll burn your house to the ground." ”

I shouted and kicked around the house, I didn't believe they slept so hard, I was so angry, I really burned the house.

But after shouting for a long time, there was no reaction at all, I calmed down, did they hear it, and secretly observed me outside at this time?

I listened carefully, but there was no sound at all, or did I not hear it? They also know that I am young and vigorous, and maybe I can really dare to burn down the house, and there is no reason to ignore it.

As I was listening, I heard a voice I didn't want to hear.

An "ahh

If it were an ordinary human voice, it would be fine, but I remember this voice.

In the past, I teased Zhao Xiaoxue and asked her to scold me, but at that time she was already dumb and couldn't make any other sound, only this "ah" sound. Now when I hear it, my whole body feels fried.

Today is Halloween, and they chose to hold a dark marriage today, just because they knew that Zhao Xiaoxue might come back.

The candle flame was windless, but it swayed. I felt that the whole world was silent, and there was no sound of insects, and suddenly, there was another "ah" from the side of the bed.

I was so frightened that my legs weakened, after all, my heart was weak, and I felt guilty about Zhao Xiaoxue.

Forget it, the master said that Zhao Xiaoxue is kind by nature and will not harm others, so let's beg for mercy quickly.

I pounced, knelt down against the paper figure on the bed, and said, "Sister Zhao, Sister Xiaoxue, you have a lot of adults, I'm talking nonsense, you can spare me." ”

Without any sound, I continued to kowtow: "Usually I always bully you, it's me who is wrong, I will never again." "But after thinking about it, it's not right, I can't bully even if I want to, and now she bullies me. I hurriedly kowtowed again and said, "Sister Xiaoxue, you have a lot of adults, and you have bullied me several times, last time I was scared out of my, we are even, you spare me, no, I will go to your grave tomorrow to burn paper and kowtow." ”

Now I can't verify whether she's still there, and I don't know if she forgave me. I thought of the arrogant scolding of her father just now, and continued to admit it, just begging me to let me out quickly.

I shouted to the window: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, I know it's wrong, let me out." There was no response, and I continued to shout: "Zhao Xiaoyu, let me out." My voice trembled, and I thought that this little girl would finally pity me and let me out.

After shouting a lot, I finally heard the voice again, and it was crying.

I was horrified, this is really endless, but I found out that it was Zhao Xiaoyu's voice, she cried and knocked on the door next to her, asking Uncle Zhao and them to let me out.

Then I heard the noisy sound of Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, and after a while, there was the sound of footsteps, and the light leaked from the hall next to it, and Uncle Zhao finally opened the door.

I wanted to rush out of the door, but I was grabbed by Uncle Zhao and said, "It's past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I'll send you back when it's dawn." ”

I didn't want to stay here, I struggled desperately, Uncle Zhao blocked the door of the hall and didn't let me go out, saying, "Now in the middle of the night, you are scared again, stay here until morning, I will send you." ”

I rushed the door a few times, but instead of rushing through, I sat down on a chair in the hall and looked at him.

Aunt Zhao coaxed Xiaoyu to continue sleeping, Uncle Zhao stood for a while, moved a chair, leaned against the door, and sat in tears.

The more I think about it, the more angry I become, your daughters are dead, and you want to pull me to be a ghost son-in-law.

I looked at my little finger, and although it was bloody, there was still a dent on it.

Finally, after five o'clock, the rooster began to crow, and Uncle Zhao opened the door of the hall and said to send me home, I ignored it and ran directly to Daoist Bay.

Early in the morning, I knocked on the door, the master opened the door, I rushed in directly, pushed away the statue of the patriarch, picked up the bronze sword, and prepared to go out.

The master hurriedly stopped me and asked, "Why did you encounter dirty things, wait for me to get dressed, and I'll go with you." ”

I said angrily: "The one surnamed Zhao deceived me into a secret marriage, Zhao Xiaoxue came to scare me again in the middle of the night, I will go to their house now and split Zhao Xiaoxue's tablet, so that she can't even be a ghost." ”

The master grabbed me and asked, "What's the matter, why are you so angry, tell me carefully, don't do anything to harm other people's ghosts." "I didn't listen, I was about to struggle out, but the master got angry directly, pulled me to the ground, and closed the door.

I got up and tried to push him away to open the door and go out, but the master slapped me in the face.

For so many days, he never disciplined me, let alone beat me.

I froze in place, and he snatched the bronze sword and yelled at me, "Kneel down for me." ”

I stood there angrily, looking at him, and he pushed me towards the statue of my grandfather, kicked me in the crook of my leg, and I was forced, and knelt down to my grandfather.

The master put the sword away in the dark compartment, coughed, and after a while, he endured the cough and said to me: "I see that you are full of anger now, if you don't get rid of this anger, you won't learn the Tao in the future." If you learn it in the future, you will also harm others and yourself. ”

The master moved a bench, sat in front of me, and said: "In the past, your master was the same, he relied on his talent, learned everything, and felt that he was good at everything, but he had to make a name for himself, but he was kicked out of here by your master. ”

The master continued: "To learn the first part of the Tao, you have to learn the Tao Te Ching, which not only includes the way of heaven, but also the truth of being a human being. You all just know how to memorize and sing. Every day, I think about subduing demons and eliminating demons, and thinking about feathering and ascending immortals. In the end, in the end, it was just a matter of going crazy and losing yourself. ”

I quibbled: "Zhao Jie is deliberately harming me, and Zhao Xiaoxue is also coming to scare me if he is fine." ”

The master said angrily: "You don't want to think about who put the harmful Huang Miao paper man into Xiaoxue's pocket at that time." Now are you injured, or are you dead. You didn't kneel here, people, but your life is gone. ”

"That's her bad life, can't blame me."

"She's not going to be okay with her life? If you weren't greedy for the ten dollars and didn't do anything, you had to know that if you didn't give it to her at that time, it was probably you who died, and she was blocking your life. ”

I was speechless and knelt there in a huff.

Now that I think about it, the master at that time could already see that my anger hidden under me almost led me down the evil path.

At noon, the master called me to eat and explained to me that this incident had not happened, otherwise because of this secret marriage, our family would probably go to the Zhao family for trouble.

I asked, what should I do with this secret marriage? I'm not going to die.

The master thought about it and said, "I will help you do a Dharma in the afternoon, and this fate will be broken." ”

Later, I found a strand of hair in my pocket, I wanted to throw it away, but the master said that it should be Zhao Xiaoxue's, it is estimated that when Zhao Xiaoxue died, Aunt Zhao cut it off and kept it for thought, this time it happened to be used for a secret marriage.

In the afternoon, the master used his hair to help me open the altar and do a ritual, but after that, the master began to worry about me because of my anger, and was reluctant to let me continue to be a Taoist priest.

And I'm also very curious, what happened to my uncle, why did the master say that learning the Tao can also go crazy.
