At this time it was close to dusk, our carriage was walking, suddenly the coachman pulled the reins, the horse neighed, the horseman who drove us was an old man, an old style, very honest along the way, did not talk much, when it was time to eat, he took the meal to the carriage to eat, when he slept, he slept with the horse, and said to the horse that he was good, and really loved the horse as life.

As soon as he stopped, we shook violently in the car, and Mao Qinglian asked, "Uncle Zhang, why did you park?" ”

Lao Zhangtou said: "The two people in front of me are wrong, standing there motionless, I feel a little weird." ”

As soon as I heard this, I quickly looked forward, and saw that on the side of the road in the distance, there were indeed two people, one of them was dressed in white, and the other was dressed in black, because it was too far away to see their faces clearly, but I could see that both of them were wearing pointed hats, and each of them was holding something in their hands, which was held high, and kept fluttering with the wind, like a spirit flag, and what was even more strange was that they were standing in a pavilion, the kind that was directly supported by four logs, and thatched on them.

The wilderness, the cemetery, the pavilion, the weirdos, all this is extremely weird, at this time the junior brother Tianning said: "Senior brother, something is wrong, you look at the person in front of him is dressed, one black and one white, with a high hat, holding a spirit banner in his hand, does it look like that black and white impermanence?" ”

In fact, I thought so in my heart, but I didn't say it, this clock Dabiao said: "It's not dark yet, the ghost is so bold?" I look like a ringing horse that robs the road and cuts the path, robbing the road in the name of ghosts and gods. ”

Zhong Dabiao made sense, I said: "If they rob the road and cut the path, they must be blind." ”

Zhong Dabiao said: "Yes, let's go, let's go there and have a look, if it is a robbery, we will see if it is good or evil, if it is a ringing horse that kills people and overachieves goods, in this wilderness, we will do the way for heaven, if it is a little thief, we will let them go." ”

Luo Xihan said in the back: "Yes, what the eldest brother said is right, we are the ancestors of robbing the Dao, these little thieves in the countryside are nothing more than robbing the old and weak, beating a stuffy stick or something." ”

I said, "Big brother, fourth brother, having said that, I still feel a little wrong. ”

Luo Xihan said: "If there is anything wrong with the second brother, let's go over and take a look." ”

After speaking, he said to the old Zhangtou: "Uncle Zhang, you continue to walk forward, let's take a look at the two robbers who are not long-eyed." ”

Lao Zhangtou said: "Okay, with you people, what am I afraid of?" ”

As he spoke, he set up the carriage and walked forward, the carriage of the old head was a double-wheeled carriage, two big horses, which could easily pull the six of us, getting closer and closer, as the carriage approached, I felt more and more that the two were not living people, and when I got closer, they were indeed not living people, I saw the white weird smile, a long tongue sticking out of his mouth, that tongue, stretched all the way to his chest, wearing a high hat on his head, the hat said Fortune at first sight, and the other face was serious, like a fierce god, and also wore a high hat, Risking that it was written that the world was peaceful, the paper man was holding a spirit flag in one hand, and you were holding a soul card in the other, and everyone gasped when they saw it.

At that time, it was not like now, although there was no TV or anything like that, but there were many temples, and in the City God Temple, these two were enshrined. These two are called black and white impermanence, also known as anti-writing generals, and like bull heads and horse faces, they are messengers who hook the soul of life when people die, and come to pick up the yin difference of the dead in the yang world. White impermanence and black impermanence are called the second master of impermanence, and they are gods who specialize in catching evil ghosts. Impermanence is included in the list of the top ten yin handsome. Bai Wuchang is always smiling, wearing a long hat with the words "making money" on it; Black Impermanence has a fierce face, and the words "Peace in the World" are on his long hat. In our City God Temple at that time, the larger ones were dedicated to the City God, the City God's grandmother, the civil and military judges, black and white impermanence, and bull heads and horses.

Legend has it that Bai Wuchang's name is Xie Bi'an, and Hei Wuchang's name is Fan Wusuo, also known as the Seventh Master and the Eighth Master. It is said that Xie Fan and his wife have been married since childhood, and they are like brothers and sisters. One day, the two walked together to the Nantai Bridge, it was going to rain, the seventh master asked the eighth master to wait for a while, go home to get an umbrella, unexpectedly after the seventh master left, the thunderstorm poured, the river soared, the eighth master did not want to miss the appointment, but because of his short stature, he was drowned in the water, and soon the seventh master took the umbrella and rushed to come, the eighth master has disappeared, the seventh master is in pain, hanging on the bridge pillar (so many white impermanence images are stretched out with a long red tongue). Lord Yama was so faithful that he ordered them to arrest the lawbreakers in front of the city god. Some people say that Xie Bi'an is to reward the gods and be safe; Fan is not saved, that is, the person who breaks the law is not saved, and later he has the image of the impermanence of the second master who specializes in arresting people.

In fact, the black and white impermanence in the City God Temple is not necessarily the white impermanence Xie Bi'an, and the black impermanence Fan Wusheng two impermanence masters, but people are still used to calling the black and white impermanence General Fan Xie. When a person dies, he will see the second master of impermanence, Bai Wuchang smiled and opened his face with a soul hook card in his hand, which said that you also came with four words, and Hei Wuchang had a fierce face, holding a soul hook card with a soul hook card that said that he was catching you.

There were two paper figures suddenly appeared here, especially in this barren cemetery, it was really indescribably weird, and when I was wondering why there was a paper figure of the black and white second master, Mao Qinglian said behind me: "Look, there are words there." ”

I saw that there were really words, and when I got closer, I saw a wooden sign written on the dangerous road ahead, and the evil ghost asked for his life, please do not enter the village, turn around. What do these four sentences mean? I thought about it, and the general meaning is that there is danger ahead, there are evil ghosts asking for life, do not enter the village, it is better to turn around, or detour. Why this warning appeared is unknown.

We stopped to discuss what to do, and this time Zhong Dabiao said: "If you want me to say this, let's be careful, I know the horror of evil ghosts, although it is said that it is Lang Lang Qiankun, but some things are not clear." ”

Tian Ning said: "What are you afraid of, isn't this us?" My senior brother and I, to deal with those evil ghosts, come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair, you can rest assured, my senior brother and I are the fire Taoist priests who subdue demons and eliminate demons. Third brother, fourth brother, I protect you. ”

This kid doesn't know if he sees Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan pretending to be women, anyway, he always wants to behave in front of them, but Zhong Dabiao is indifferent, and has always regarded Mao Qinglian and Luo Xihan as brothers, I don't know if he really didn't see Mao Qinglian and them dressed as men and women, or pretended not to see it.

But with Tianning's guarantee, everyone is relieved, get on the carriage and continue to walk forward, at this time there is a Zhuangzi in front, this village is very large, but surprisingly quiet, that is the countryside does not look at the clock, only look at the sun, pay attention to a sunrise and sunset and rest, this time should be the time to cook, the village is smoking, but this village, there is no shadow of smoke at all, our carriage continues to go forward, and so into the Zhuangzi, everything becomes weird, there is no one on the whole street, not only no one, There are not even domestic animals, chickens and dogs, and the whole village is quiet.

This Zhong Dabiao said: "It's strange, what's going on with the whole Zhuangzi?" Looking at the house on the village, it is not very old, and there is no decay, but why is there no one? ”

Tianning said: "I will go down and take a look, I don't believe it, there is no one in such a big village." ”

As he spoke, he got out of the carriage, and after looking at several houses, every house was locked, but there was no one, so he ran to the carriage and said, "It's really strange, there is indeed no one in this village." I saw a big family in front of me, let's go to that one. ”

As soon as Tianning said this, I looked ahead, and there was indeed a large family in front, only to see that the door was black and red, and there was a gate building, the key was that the gate was open, and the door was hung with a white lantern, and there was a pair of stone lions in front of it.

We got out of the carriage and asked Tianning to go over and knock on the door, Tianning got there, pulled the knocker of the door with his hand, and began to knock on the door, but after knocking for a long time, no one responded, so Tianning shouted inside: "Is there anyone?" We were in a hurry and wanted to spend the night here, but we didn't know if it was convenient or not. ”

But no matter what Tianning called, there was no echo in the courtyard, so could it be that there was no one in this courtyard?
