Chapter 90: The Zhou Family
It didn't take a few moments for the two men to become grandsons, and one begged for mercy, and then we threw them out the door, and said to them, let them find some people who knew how to come, and then we closed the door. In the afternoon, there was the sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and the creaking of the carriage, and after a while, when we arrived at the door of our view, a man came in, this man was an old man, over seventy years old, full of white hair, and his beard was also white, and he was followed by the two men who came in the morning, and those two men carried snacks in their hands, and followed behind the old man with fear, not daring to look at us directly.
When the old man saw us, he shook his hands and said, "Three little masters, two young people can't speak in the morning, so I'll bring them to apologize." ”
I said, "You are ......"
The old man said: "I am the former housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, and now I am guarding the tomb of the Zhou family in the Zhou Mansion." ”
I nodded, as the saying goes, slaps don't hit smiling people, we politely invited the old man and those two people into the house, and after sitting down, I said to the old man: "Uncle, I want to know what evil the Zhou family has fallen into?" Could it be that with the power of the Zhou family, it can't be solved locally? ”
The old man said: "It's a long story, the old man has been guarding the grave in the Zhou family's cemetery for a long time, and you can say a rough idea, more than ten years ago, after Zhou Da became a housekeeper, the lord took me to the ancestral grave of the Zhou family, and became a grave keeper, since then, the entire Zhou family has become the world of Mrs. Tuesday and Zhou Da, they do evil, dominate people's real estate and fields, and for a while, the good reputation of the Zhou family gradually deteriorated, everyone called the old man Zhou Laohu, in fact, those evil things were not done by the old man, they were all done by the second wife and the housekeeper Zhou Da. Just this summer, our lord fell in love with the maid Chunqiao.
Speaking of the maid Chunqiao, it is a good girl, good-looking, extremely well-behaved, compared with the fierce and jealous second wife, it is a world of difference, the old man intended to take Chunqiao as a concubine, but I didn't expect that just a few days after this matter was said, Chunqiao hanged himself. Chun Qiao's death is very weird, not the same as other hanged people, the people who were originally hanged were all sticking out their tongues and staring at their eyes, but Chun Qiao was the same as ordinary people, as if she was asleep, everyone said that Chun Qiao's death was wrong, and she would definitely become a ghost, so she could only be married to Yin, and if she had a companion on Huangquan Road, she would not come to harm people.
Later, Zhou Da really got married and buried in Chunqiao's hometown. This was because of this incident, but I didn't expect it, but not only did it not pass, but it also intensified, and then the second wife was scared to death, and the housekeeper also became a madman, ignoring men and women, looking for someone to take a look, saying that it was two unjust souls attached to the body and did not leave, and they wanted to take revenge in the Zhou family, and they couldn't see this unjust debt. We heard that your Taoism is strong, so we came to invite you to Zhou's house, and hope that the three small Taoist elders will appreciate you, as for money, this is not to worry. ”
I nodded and said, "If in the morning, these two donors are the same as your old man, why should we misunderstand, old man, wait a minute, we will clean up and follow you." ”
The old man said: "That's great, the old man said that the sooner you go, the better, the Zhou family is messed up." ”
We nodded, and then went in to clean up, doing everyone's work, different from small families, like Sanqing Ling, peach wood sword and the like must be carried, just in case, I also brought the ghost head knife with me. After we packed up, we got into the carriage of the Zhou family and galloped towards Zhoujiazhuang. The speed of the carriage was very fast, and it took about a little more than an hour to reach Zhoujiazhuang. Zhoujiazhuang is a big village, much larger than our village, there is a wall outside the village, and there are turrets, which are to prevent bandits from ringing horses.
We stopped at the door of a large family in the middle of the Zhuangzi, this is more magnificent than our Jia family in the village, the gate building is also much more magnificent, the black gate, with yellow paper pasted on it, the dead people in the family will paste the yellow paper, the door is hung with white lanterns, the lantern is written with the word Zhou, and there is something written on the wall at the door, which is written at the time of the funeral, obviously the funeral time is not long.
When we arrived at the door, we asked Baoguo to shake the Sanqing Bell, Tianning knocked on the wooden fish, and I sprinkled the grains while reading in my mouth: "My way comes in the door to search, and the Talisman Protector follows." A handful of demon-slaying beans rose and fell to the ground weighing a thousand gold. The patriarchs of the three sects came to help me, and I sprinkled beans into soldiers and returned to my soul. Every demon is smashed, and the ghost is beaten and the tendons are broken. Once the ghosts are all dead, they will be beaten to dust. A thunderbolt shook the nine heavens, and the Dragon and Tiger Mountain managed to reach the altar. A scatter of fire in the south, and there is nowhere to hide......"
Scattering grains is a means for us to reduce ghosts and eliminate evil, so the main family of the funeral, usually sprinkle grains again, after sprinkling, Zhou Wanguan politely invited us into the house, this attitude, compared to the attitude of the two families in the morning, it is simply incomparable, those two families are dogs fighting people. After arriving in the house, I took a closer look at Zhou Wanguan, this Zhou Wanguan is very kind, kind and kind, like a good person, looking a little dull, especially the Yintang acupoint on the center of the eyebrows, as if smeared with green ash.
We sat down and drank tea, and asked about the specific situation of the Zhou family, Zhou Wanguan first sighed, and then said: "The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, although it is ugly, but as the saying goes, you can hide from your father, not from Mr., I will tell the truth, my family does not know what is in the trouble, provoked a ghost, first the maid Chunqiao hanged herself, after Chunqiao died, our Zhou family began to be restless, this big house began to be haunted, and the people in the Zhou family compound often heard the sound of ghosts crying and ghosts. There were also people who saw two ghost shadows at the door of the house where Chunqiao lived, which made the entire Zhou family compound panic.
At first, the subordinates told me about it, I didn't believe it at all, and I reprimanded the subordinate who said it, and finally one day I saw the ghost of Chunqiao and the man, and I believed that the rumors of haunting in the compound were true. And it came to pass that one day, when a friend came to visit, I was happy to drink too much wine for a while, and at night, while I was drunk, I went out of the door and wanted to take a look in the yard.
I arrived in the courtyard, the whole courtyard was quiet, since the legend was haunted, no one dared to come out in the middle of the night, I walked leisurely to the gazebo, sat there to enjoy the coolness, the cool breeze, the bright moon was bright, it was really funny. The house where Chunqiao lived before his death was opposite the gazebo, looking at the room, I remembered Chunqiao, Chunqiao is the maid of the second lady, brought from the second lady's mother's house, the little girl is good-looking, well-behaved, I once joked with the second lady: "Madam, look at you, the boss did not leave blood, so he left, you have been in my house for so many years, and you have not been pregnant, I see Chunqiao is well-behaved, let her make me three rooms, and continue the incense for our Zhou family." ”
The second lady said: "Okay, after I go back to this matter, I will discuss it with Chun Qiao, as long as she is willing to do the third room, I have nothing to say." ”
After saying this, it didn't take a few days, Chunqiao hanged himself, I felt sorry for Chunqiao, thinking that my wine strength had come up, and I fell asleep in the gazebo. As soon as I slept and watched for a while, I heard someone say, "Master, master, wake up." ”
The voice was so familiar, I looked up, there was a person standing in front of me, I just opened my eyes, I couldn't see clearly, I rubbed my eyes, and said, "Who are you?" ”
The woman said, "I'm Chunqiao, didn't you miss me just now, master?" ”
As soon as I heard Chunqiao, I quickly rubbed my eyes, and then I saw the person in front of me clearly, this person was really Chunqiao, I saw Chunqiao wearing a white dress, there was no blood on her face, as white as paper, her eyes were full of hesitation, which made people feel pity, I looked at Chunqiao in front of me, and suddenly remembered that Chunqiao was dead, so I said nervously: "Chunqiao, aren't you dead?" ”
When Chunqiao heard this, he stood there and cried, crying and saying, "I am dead, but I died unjustly.?" ”
As he spoke, the crying became louder and louder, first there were tears in his eyes, and then his eyes became more and more red, the tears slowly turned into blood, and the eyeballs bulged out, and the tongue grew longer and longer, until it hung down to his chest, Chunqiao cried and said, "Do you see it?" I am a ghost, a hanged ghost who has been killed. ”|
