People die and become ghosts, but if they are stained with the word "ghost", they are inseparable from "death".

Since coming to the Tang Dynasty, Xing Ruyi has been accustomed to seeing all kinds of "ghosts", not only ghosts, but also a lot of things related to ghosts, and he has grown a lot of knowledge, but this ghost screen is still the first time he has seen it.

She stared at the screen made of white paper and asked the fox, "What is the purpose of this ghost screen?" ”

"Ordinary people place screens, or they are vassals and elegant, and play a decorative role; Or it is used to block, after all, this bedroom is a private place, and the bed is exclusive to the couple, and this ghost screen has only one function, that is, it is used to shine on ghosts! ”

"Shine?"

Xing Ruyi thought of a lot of answers by himself, but he didn't think of this.

"Could it be that this screen made of white paper is the same as the demon mirror, which can subdue demons and eliminate demons, destroy ghosts and eliminate disasters?"

Xing Ruyi walked up to the ghost screen and gently poked it twice with his fingers. The paper is thick and has a poor texture, like the kind made by hand at home, and there is nothing special about it.

"There's nothing special about this paper, and this ghost screen is not the same as a demon mirror. The demon mirror is a Taoist magic weapon, which can not only illuminate the prototype of ghosts, but also collect demons and subdue demons, but the premise is that the person who uses the demon mirror must also be a master. No matter how good the demon mirror is, in the hands of ordinary people, it is just an ordinary mirror, and it is of no use. ”

"I believe it! Do you remember the first time we met? At the arsenal, when I was leaving, I was given a bronze mirror. At first, I thought it was just a mirror that was more delicate than an ordinary bronze mirror, but later I learned that it was the legendary mirror of the demon. Don't say it, you can really show Li Mao's prototype. It's a pity that the mirror is only a little useful in my hands. Think about it carefully, this is inexplicable, I don't have to send such a demon mirror to me, what is the idea? ”

"This man's mind is unpredictable, and it is difficult for outsiders to guess his true intentions. Since he gave you the demon mirror, you will keep it, as for the purpose of his demon mirror, you can't guess it clearly, and you can't guess it anymore, just let it be. ”

"I didn't think about it spiritually, but when I heard you talk about this ghost screen, I thought of the demon mirror, and when I thought of the demon mirror, I couldn't help but think of the body of the man with a bad stomach. The so-called tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and there is no news of him during this time, which makes people feel uneasy. I'm afraid, then there will be other troubles. ”

"With me here, don't worry!"

The fox said, and gently brought Xing Ruyi into the inside of the screen.

"Speaking of this ghost screen, there is a little story. It is said that a certain outsider, before his death, he loved all kinds of screens, and after his death, in order to make him feel at ease, he imitated the favorite screen of the outsider before his death and pasted one with paper. The screen was supposed to depict the four seasons, but it was forgotten because of the carelessness of the paste. Seeing that it was time for the burial, the family had no choice but to move the unfinished screen into the mourning hall.

As a result, on the same night, the family members of the wake saw through this screen the deceased slowly getting up from the funeral bed, and even pacing in front of the bed. The word of haunting spread all at once. When a passing feng shui magician heard about this, he went to the deceased's home to check on it, and thus discovered the secret hidden in the paper screen. ”

"What's the secret? Did the feng shui magician say that? ”

"This papier-mâché screen, because it is close to the corpse, is stained with the corpse qi and yin qi on the corpse, so it can show the shadow of a ghost in the middle of the night. The feng shui sorcerer was bold and careful, and after only a few glances, he saw the secret, and even improved this ghost screen to use it specifically to see ghosts. ”

"Ghosts?"

"Do you know that Seven Days Resurrection?"

"Yes. The seventh day after the death of this person is called the night of the soul or the night of the soul, which is also known as the "first seven" in the folk, and it is said that on this day, the soul of the deceased loved one will return home again to say goodbye to the family. After seven days, the deceased can go to drink Meng Po soup, be reincarnated, and settle all grievances in this life. I still remember that in my hometown, when encountering the seven-day resurrection, people on both sides of the road had to tie red cloth strips in conspicuous places to remind the ghosts, and not to enter the wrong house. ”

"The customs of the seven-day resurrection vary from place to place, but they are almost the same. The feng shui magician used the magic of this ghost screen to help the master confirm whether the soul of the loved one had returned home. ”

As soon as the fox's words fell, he heard Xing Ruyi's "Ah! Then the index finger pointed to the middle of the screen: "Fox, look, what is that?" ”

On the ghost screen, Xing Ruyi saw a shadow, a vague, human-like but inhuman shadow.

"That, is it a ghost?"

The fox didn't answer, but grabbed Xing Ruyi's two shoulders with his hands and silently turned her around.

"Yunsheng!?"

Xing Ruyi subconsciously covered his eyes, but he couldn't help but open his fingers, and secretly aimed at Yun Sheng again. At this time, Yun Sheng had already left the bed, walked to the ghost screen, and took off his coat, and what Xing Ruyi just saw was Yun Sheng's body full of holes hidden under his clothes.

At that moment, Xing Ruyi thought of the story that had been told before. In the story, there is a beautiful boy who is very eager for death, his name is Jinyo, and he has a small blood of mountain ghosts. Because of the unwarranted forbidden technique, he was able to come back from the dead, and because of the unwarranted forbidden technique, he had to repeat the process of changing from a human to a skeleton and then from a skeleton to a human every once in a while. In the end, Jinhe chose to end his immortality, and also chose to say goodbye to such a life that was worse than death.

The Yunsheng in front of him is very much like the brocade in the unwarranted story. Under his very particular clothes, what is hidden is also an almost corrupt body. Xing Ruyi saw him sitting in front of the ghost screen, turning on the dark red lamp, and mending his tattered body little by little.

Silvery-white threads mingled with dark black threads, and bone needles passed through his body, stitching the broken fragments together. Soon, the stitched areas began to slowly recover, smoothing out the scars that had been stitched up, and becoming intact.

Just when Yun Sheng was stitching up the last piece of broken skin, Hui Niang opened her eyes, she was lying on the bed, leaning sideways, looking at Yun Sheng, and then said leisurely: "Sure enough, you are not my father-in-law!" ”

Yun Sheng looked back at Hui Niang, and there was a heavy chill in his eyes.

"Huiniang, are you sleepy? Of course I'm your father-in-law. Yun Sheng inserted the bone needle into his skin, slightly covered the place that had not been stitched with his clothes, got up, and looked at Hui Niang: "You forgot, tomorrow morning, we have to return home." Go to sleep, it's not too early. ”

"What? Can youkai be scared too? What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will expose your true colors, or are you afraid that I will tell the truth that you have become my father-in-law and are hiding in this shabby shop? Hui Niang smiled coldly: "Tell you, I remembered, I remembered everything." I remembered how I had saved you in the first place; I remembered how you deceived me, and even took advantage of my sympathy and the greed of my in-laws to enter my home; I think of how you used your magic to trick my in-laws into helping you kill people; I think of how you killed my father-in-law; I remembered how you killed my father and mother, and I remembered your cherished old nest. By the way, I also have good news for you, all your treasures are gone, and I have burned them. A fire, burned clean, and nothing was left. ”

"What did you say?" Yun Sheng's eyes turned from extreme cold to resentment. He rushed to Hui Niang and pinched her chin hard, forcing her to look at him.

I said...... All the in your cave is gone! You will no longer find anything to mend your broken body. You're dying! You can't hurt anyone anymore! ”

Hui Niang said, also smiled, but the smile was empty and nothing. Xing Ruyi saw her slowly raise her right hand, and then through Yun Sheng's clothes, carefully pinched the bone needle, and pulled it outward.

Yun Sheng cried out in pain, then let go of the hand that was clamping Hui Niang's chin and looked down at his body. The threads that had been sewn up to the body were torn off along with the bone stitches, and the bodies that had been repaired quickly returned to a broken state.

"And voila! That's what you are! You hurt my husband, hurt my father, and used my in-laws' greed to help you kill people. But people are doing it, the sky is watching, the demon is doing it, the sky is also watching, I still remember all this, and you just spent all these years in vain, and in the end all you left was your own tattered body. Your cave is gone, and the silkworm chrysalis you have carefully raised are gone, and even the human skin brocade that you have made from my mother's flesh and skin is gone. You can only watch your own flesh fall off your body little by little until you die! ”

"Humph!" Yun Sheng let out a sneer: "You think I'm dead, can you still be alive?" ”

"Alive? Why should I live! When you killed my father-in-law, I didn't want to live anymore. Hui Niang staggered to her feet, walked up to Yun Sheng, and stared at the face with resentful eyes: "Even if you change to a face that is exactly the same as him, you will never be him." You are not a cloud student, and you will never become a cloud student. You're just a monster, a monster hiding in a cave and never daring to look at people with your true face! ”

"That's right! I'm a monster! Yun Sheng looked directly into Hui Niang's eyes, and also let out a series of weird laughs: "What did you just say?" Say that I will never dare to look at people with my true colors! Yunhui, if I let you see my true face tonight, do you dare to see it? ”

Yun Sheng said, put his hand on his face, and gently lifted it down!
