Volume 3 Bixian Strange Tales Chapter 72 Ghost Night Talk (I)
This reunion dinner is like a rope, condensing everyone's hearts together, they are not as suspicious and wary of each other as before, the hazy barrier has also dissipated, and everyone's face shows the most sincere smile, which is very bright.
After eating the last piece of rice, Jin'er stuck out her tongue like a snake, licked her lips, and made a low "hiss" sound, which sounded a little weird.
Ran Ran's amount of alcohol is really not covered, it is all accumulated and practiced by drinking glass by cup, after drinking nearly a pound of peach blossom brew, he is not fully drunk, but he is in a half-drunk state of mental paralysis, that is, the legendary state is very bad, and the consciousness is very clear!
The cheeks, which were slightly red from alcohol, were white and red, and they looked even more delicate, but the scar was still too eye-catching, covering his handsome face.
Qin Lingxuan finally ate all the dishes in the bowl, he didn't want to waste Shangguan Yunyun and Jin'er's good intentions, so his belly was stretched out, and it was full circle, like a beer belly.
Shangguan Yunyun also let go of her prejudice against Jin'er, and cast friendly glances at her from time to time, which made Jin'er's heart bloom.
Xiuxiu obediently packed up the dining table and chairs, Qin Lingxuan and Jin'er wanted to help, but they couldn't resist her, saying that they were guests from afar, and they didn't have to do anything, otherwise they would be sluggish, and the two of them were not at a stalemate, standing in place and watching Xiuxiu's busy voice and shadow.
The village in the countryside does not have the hustle and bustle of the city, and the night is also very dark, if it is not for the stars in the sky, sprinkled with fragmentary glimmers, the land is so black that you can't see your fingers, and occasionally a few insects and frogs come to the sound of a beautiful symphony, which is pleasant to the ear.
Qin Lingxuan, Jin'er and Ran Ran were all attracted by the night scene, ran to the bed, and looked up intently, such an idyllic life is their ideal life, if they can always be with this, there is nothing else to ask for in this life.
A quarter of an hour later, the table was skillfully wiped clean by Xiuxiu, and she spread a layer of exquisite cover cloth on the table, according to Shangguan Yunyun, it was embroidered by Xiuxiu by hand, although it had been used for a long time, and the cover was a little worn and wrinkled, but she was reluctant to throw it away.
Shangguan Yunyun brought a thick red candle and asked them to gather around and sit in a circle, as if they wanted to "talk at night with candles"!
"Grandma, I miss you so much after so many years!" Qin Lingxuan expressed the feelings of longing in her heart, her eyes were full of gratitude, and she was mixed with some guilt.
"Silly Ling'er, why shouldn't grandma," Shangguan Yunyun looked even more amiable under the light of the red candle, and she added firmly, "From now on, if we don't separate, Xiuxiu and I will protect you!" ”
"Brother, don't worry!" Xiuxiu rubbed the water stains that had not dried after washing her hands, and said to Qin Lingxuan with a firm look in her eyes.
"Anthracene!"
Shangguan Yunyun began to tell them her own story, although Xiuxiu grew up hearing it, she enjoyed the feeling of being a listener, listening to Shangguan Yunyun speak, it was an indescribable comfort.
Shangguan Yunyun has had yin and yang eyes since she was a child, she can see all kinds of ghosts, she is proficient in ghost language, and can communicate and get along with them normally, so in this radius of ten miles, the white affairs of the villagers and elders are all handled by her, and after so many years, there has never been any mistakes.
It was because of her prestige that the old peasant was forced to take them to the ancient village, otherwise they would have been lost in that strange road by now
"This life
Is there really a ghost on it? Jin'er suddenly interjected, her smart eyes rolled, looking innocent and cute, in Qin Lingxuan's eyes, she is a little sister who will never grow up, but in the eyes of others, she is a noble goddess.
"Yes, it's just that many people haven't experienced it, and their eyes can't see it!" Xiuxiu took her words.
"Then how can you see ghosts?" Jin'er asked, about the legend of ghosts, she is full of curiosity, I'm afraid this is also everyone's commonality, ghosts are not believed, but not at all, it is not feasible, because many supernatural phenomena cannot be explained by current science, the more forcibly explained, the more confusing the event becomes, and it will only cover it with a more mysterious veil.
"Just wipe the cow's tears evenly at the corners of your eyes!"
"But I hope you will never see ghosts, ghosts are the existence of negative energy, which will only affect people's brains, so as to do absurd things, ordinary people can't see ghosts, unless it's at a specific time!" Shangguan Yunyun sighed.
"Does a particular time refer to another world?" Ran Ran asked confusedly, he had never seen a ghost in his life, but in the other world, there were ghosts everywhere.
"That's the Ghost Domain, you can see it!" Shangguan Yunyun looked at Qin Lingxuan's expression without any change, and continued to explain to them, people walk on the Yangguan Road, ghosts cross the single-plank bridge, people and ghosts are species living in different worlds, people live on the bright sunny side, and ghosts live on the gray and dark side, so the different world they see is gray, it is the country of the undead and ghosts, they take the ghost car by mistake and enter the ghost domain, and it is normal to see ghosts.
In normal times, people and ghosts live in their own worlds, parallel worlds, there will be no contact and connection, unless there is a vision in the sky, the barrier of the parallel world is completely broken, and ghosts can pour into the world. Everything was related to the five-star vision, but she exhausted what she had learned in her life that day, and she did not spy on the mystery of the five-star vision.
But the five-star vision is just the beginning, when it ends, it's all up to Qin Lingxuan, she didn't tell them the following paragraph, because now is not the time.
"I see!" Qin Lingxuan seemed to have understood something.
"I'll just say, my Qin Lingxuan can't be a murderer," Jin'er pouted, trying her best to prove that what she said to Xie Yu was correct.
"Ghosts are dirty, it's best to avoid them as much as possible, once they are contaminated, they can't be shaken off!" Xiuxiu's words were specially said for Qin Lingxuan, but it was too late, after experiencing the other world, they had some kind of magical connection with ghosts.
Ran Ran frowned, suddenly thought of something, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What is the old woman who appeared that day?" ”
Shangguan Yunyun stroked her fine silver hair, lowered her voice and said to him: "She is a ghost, a roadblocker!" ”
"What a roadblock? It's like the roadblock pattern python that day? Ran Ran continued to ask with a somewhat frightened face.
"Yes, they stop all foreign creatures from coming to the ancient village."
"Why?" Qin Lingxuan and Ran Ran asked in unison.
Shangguan Yunyun first explained to them the old woman, the old woman is a ghost with "Taoism", she understands
The energy release of his own ghost distorted the magnetic field of the car man's brain, so they could all see it, ordinary ghosts can do it like it, it originally wanted to scare them not to step into the ancient village again, but I didn't expect the ignorant car people to not believe it, and insisted on going their own way, and finally in desperation, she summoned the pattern python, which stood in the middle of the road, blocking their way to the ancient village, but they not only didn't believe it, but also crushed the pattern python, and finally they also paid the price of their lives.
Qin Lingxuan and Ran Ran finally understood, no wonder they felt weird when they saw that old woman that day, they came and went without a trace, and the pattern python also came very suddenly that day, blocking the road with their lives, it turned out that everything they did was for their good.
"Why are they in the way?" Jin'er still can't figure out what they are trying so hard to block the way!
"Because the Midyear Festival is coming!" Shangguan Yunyun said helplessly, her eyes became a little blurry, every year in the middle of the year is her busiest time, this year, she divined a hanging, the hexagram is a great omen, and this time Qin Lingxuan happened to return to the ancient village, she was worried all day long, worried waiting under the plane tree, hoping that Qin Lingxuan could reach the ancient village safely by herself.
"What is the Midyear Festival?" Jin'er asked curiously, in her impression, there had never been such a festival, and Xie Yu had never mentioned it to her, so she naturally didn't know.
"The Midyear Festival is commonly known as the Ghost Festival, July 14!"
July 14 Halloween Festival, Yang Qi decays, righteousness is weak, that day is the heaviest and strongest Yin Qi of the year, that day the ghost door is wide open, all kinds of ghosts will briefly pour into the world, so there is a saying in the folk, after dark that day, you must close the door, do not go out at night, otherwise it will inevitably provoke them.
"Oh! So that's it! Jin'er nodded slightly.
"Grandma, I have a question!" A terrible thought popped up in Qin Lingxuan's consciousness.
"Ling'er, just say whatever you want, don't be afraid of taboos, grandma is here with you!" Shangguan Yunyun gave him confidence.
"Why did Jin'er fall asleep and fall into a coma that day? I can't wake up no matter how I scream, we thought she was evil! Qin Lingxuan threw out his question, this question had troubled him for a long time along the way, and today he hoped to get an answer from Shangguan Yunyun's mouth.
He was afraid that Jin'er would become like him and often be in the company of ghosts.
"The power of the old woman's ghost is too strong, Jin'er is already a cold system, and she must not be able to stand it if she is so stimulated by it!" After thinking for a while, Shangguan Yunyun continued, "Not only is Jin'er evil, but you can't escape the blame!" ”
Fortunately, on that day, they were kind-hearted, believed in ghosts, and let the three of them live. After the old woman lost her love snake, she became angry and vindictive, so she sprinkled the evil qi on them, which was regarded as a severe lesson to them, fortunately, Shangguan Yunyun had already expelled the evil qi entangled in their bodies one by one, and they no longer had to endure the fear of being dominated by the evil energy, Shangguan Yunyun had already arranged everything.
"Actually, I still want to see the hell and see what horrible they look like!"
"If you can avoid it, if you get contaminated with ghosts, it's like getting infected with drugs, and you can't quit at all! People's will is very weak, and when the time comes, not only will they not be able to quit, but the ghosts will come, and they will not even be able to run away......"
