Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ghost Who Died Unjustly
"As soon as I finished saying this, I heard the person who led me, where he sneered, the voice was very low, as if it came out of the ground, my scalp exploded with laughter, and most of the wine woke up at that time, then I found that something was wrong, the person in front of me, there is definitely a problem, under normal circumstances, no matter how short a person's neck is, it can't be about the same as the shoulder, I have killed so many people, and I know the neck of the person best, the human neck is composed of seven bones, when cutting off the head, cut the third section, and the bone of that section is best cut."
Zhang Shan said this, I felt a chill in my neck, no wonder my mother often said that I can't deal with executioners, Zhang Shan continued: It is precisely because of these seven bones that people have become necks, and the person in front of me is sure that there is no person from the neck up. People without necks and heads can only have one possibility, that is, headless ghosts, I think of this, the wine left in my stomach flows out with cold sweat.
At this time, the "guide" wearing a hat said in an extremely gloomy voice: "Zhang Rentu, you have killed so many people, you must not remember who I am." ”
As he spoke, he threw away the hat, and I saw that it was indeed a headless ghost, and then I also saw clearly, that person was wearing a prison coat, with a lot of blood stains on it, this prison clothes were only available in the Qing Dynasty, and this unjust ghost must have been from the Qing Dynasty. You also know the rules of our executioners, that is, there are too many damage to yin virtue, and they cannot be passed on from father to son, I am also raised by my father, my father told me that the executioner who kills people will have evil qi on his body, so that ordinary ghosts dare not approach, but people have three times and five luck, if one day the person who is killed by his own hands comes back to take revenge, then the rest can only ask God to bless.
As soon as I saw that it was a headless ghost, I turned around and wanted to run away, but when I turned around, the scene behind me had completely changed, and I didn't know what was going on, I actually followed the headless ghost and came to the killing platform in a daze, and behind me was the prison shack. At this time, I saw a lot of green fireballs in the distance, slowly surrounding, I looked at these fireballs carefully, they were all headless ghosts, they quickly surrounded me, let out a ghost crying wolf howl, there shouting "return our heads." ”
I knew I wouldn't be able to run, and if I couldn't run, I wouldn't run, and I knew that these were just ghosts, and they were scary, but they couldn't help me. The headless ghosts were getting closer, and they were crying there. At this moment, I suddenly felt that I was lifted up all of a sudden, and when I looked back, I saw a big black man lifting me up, this big black man looked more than a foot high, and his hand was like a fan, and then I looked up, and there was nothing on the neck, I was really scared at this time, and the one who carried me was the headless demon, this headless demon was much more powerful than these headless ghosts, I was carried by the headless demon like a chicken, and walked until I walked to the guillotine, and pressed me on the guillotine, The headless ghosts in the audience were shouting to kill him, and the time had come for him to be beheaded.
This reminds me of the shouts and voices urging me to behead people when I was killing, and even some people were holding steamed buns, ready to make bloody steamed buns to cure their diseases. I was suddenly desperate in my heart, I felt that many of the people I had killed should not be killed, I was thinking, suddenly my neck was cold, and then I couldn't see anything, and the last feeling was that sharp pain like a knife, and when I woke up again, I found myself lying on the bed. I think about it now, when I was killing someone, I was wearing a red coat, I felt majestic, and I didn't realize that the person who was killed was trembling, what was pitiful, I just wanted to start the knife and fall, and the round head rolled to other places, and the blood spurted out, which was a painful thing, but when I was killed, there was a deep despair. After this experience, I decided to wash my hands and stop being an executioner, and at the same time let my children and grandchildren not do the executioner's unconscionable business. ”
The master nodded and said, "If people don't go through tribulations, they can't see through right and wrong, and it's good to be an ordinary person." ”
In this way, we talked a lot, after dawn, Zhang Shan's return to the yang, like wings, soon spread all over this small county, everyone rushed to see the excitement, Zhang Shan in front of everyone, said that he washed his hands in a golden basin, changed his name to Zhang Shan, and worshiped the master as a teacher. Everyone commented on everything, but the wicked do good deeds are also a merit.
We had lunch and were ready to go home, Zhang Shan gave us a lot of food, these are rare in the countryside, Zhang Shan also said that when he was idle, he went to the master to listen to the master's lecture, the ghost knife also helped us load it on the carriage, we were just about to leave, at this time there was a person who rushed over, this person was a little fat, full of fat, a little fat head and big ears, wearing a melon skin hat, wearing a silk clothes, that fat people were rare, he walked in front of the master and shouted: "Old fairy help, The old fairy helps. ”
The master hurriedly said, "Is there something wrong with the donor?" ”
The man said: "The old fairy is haunted in my house, and I can't go on with it." ”
The Master said, "Tell me what is going on?" ”
The man said, "My surname is Li, my name is Li Wanjin, and Brother Zhang knows my situation." ”
Zhang Shan said: "Yes, Brother Li is one of the richest families in our county, my grandfather is the county master in this county, and my ancestors have also been executioners." ”
Li Wanjin said: "Nothing, those are all things of the Qing Dynasty, and I am now a landlord with a bit of land." ”
Master said, "What's the matter with your house being haunted?" ”
Li Wanjin said: "Haunting is more than a year ago, my house is a big yard, in the backyard of my house, it was originally a garden, every night, there will be ghosts crying in that garden, that cry is sad and sad, at first it was just crying in the back garden, the female ghost's long hair, protecting the whole face, wearing white clothes, walking is floating, now at night, in the whole yard around, I invited Mr. Yin and Yang a few times, and I didn't find where the ghost came from, now my house at night, The family dare not go out, the people of our family, every time the ghost presses the bed, they will get seriously ill, and ask the old fairy to catch the ghost, and if it continues like this, our family must be crazy. ”
The master didn't speak, and Li Jin said to the master: "How much does the old immortal cost, can you say something?" ”
Master said, "Let me ask you, does that ghost come out every night?" ”
Li Wanjin said: "Now when we come out every night, we are all scared to death. ”
Master said, "Then let's clean up and go ghost hunting at night, and you go back first." ”
Li Wanjin said: "That's great, I'll go back and prepare wine and food, and invite the old fairy to come over for dinner in a while, I don't know if the old fairy has any taboos?" ”
The master smiled and said, "I don't eat dog meat with a few apprentices, you can get more chicken, duck and fish, I am poor in that view, and I can walk around if I can't eat it." ”
Li Wanjin said: "Okay, old fairy, wait a minute, after you get the wine and food, you will come to invite the old fairy." ”
Saying that, Li Wanjin left happily, and then Zhang Shan said: "Master is great, your old man can stay here for one more day." ”
We are also happy to have delicious food, and in the countryside we even have to add wild vegetables to the nest, but since we followed the master, we have eaten more than a dozen dishes. We took the things off the carriage and packed them up, and then someone came to invite us to go to Li's house to catch ghosts, so we took the magic weapon and followed the people to Li's house to catch ghosts.
When I arrived at Li's house, I saw that the courtyard of the Li family was indeed magnificent, with two stone drums at the door, as well as the upper and lower horse stones, which were all symbols of the official family, and the gate was larger than ordinary residents. When we arrived at the gate of Li's house, someone hurried to report, Li Wanjin greeted us out of the gate, respectfully invited us into the gate, and when we arrived at the main hall, we saw that the table in the main hall was already full of wine and food, Li Wanjin respectfully invited the master to the post, and after sitting down, he invited us to sit on the table, and then accompanied us to drink and talk.
In Master's words, it is to eat more good things and grow taller, so that we can be of great use, and Master has devoted all his heart to us.
