Then Butcher Sun let us drink wine and talk about the hanged ghost he had encountered. Sun butcher is to kill pigs, there is no shortage of pigs in the house, these pigs are nothing more than pig heads, pig hearts, pig livers, pig intestines and the like, although a little fishy and unpleasant when born, but if you deal with it, wash it with hot water, rub out the pig intestines with salt, put it in the pot, and add the big ingredients to cook it thoroughly, and it tastes very fragrant.

While we were eating Sun Butcher was there, Sun Butcher said: "Everyone knows that I like acting, and I learned acting in my early years, but the longer it gets, the uglier it becomes, and my voice becomes thicker and thicker, so I slowly stop acting." Later, he learned to kill pigs and cattle with his master, and slowly left this singing job. Later, someone in the City God Temple came to me, saying that I was asked to play the judge Zhong Kui at the temple fair, which was exactly what I wanted, so on this day every year, I took the guy to play Zhong Kui.

That year is going to be a temple fair again, the first day a person on the village, sent me an old cow, let me kill, this old cow looks old, skinny, already very weak, it is just noon, I have a problem at noon, I want to squint for a while, the early spring sun is warm, I lie there with my eyes closed, I nap, when I sleep is fragrant, I have a dream, I dream that an old man is wearing an earthy yellow clothes and crying there.

When I heard the crying, I went over and asked what was the matter, but as soon as I arrived, the old man hugged me and cried, crying and saying that he didn't want me to kill him, and I quickly said, "Uncle, although I am a butcher, I only kill pigs and cows, not people." ”

But no matter how I explained, the old man still cried and said that I should not kill him, and then it rained in the sky, and it dripped on my face, and I wanted to look up at the sky, but when I looked up, the rain was dripping in my eyes, and I didn't know what kind of water this rain was, and after dripping into my eyes, it hurt like fire, so I quickly rubbed my eyes, and when I rubbed my hands, it hurt even more, and then I woke up and found that I had a dream, but the water was still dripping on my face, and I opened my eyes and found that it was on the top of my head, There was a huge head with two horns on it, and tears were dripping from its big eyes, and I understood that it was the old cow crying.

I got up and looked at the old oxen, shook my head, big animals like cows and horses are more spiritual animals, they sometimes have feelings like people, the old people often say that these crying cows and horses are all sins in the previous life, or swear to the curse of the sky, or repay the debt, and the Lord of Yama let them be raised into cattle and horses and the like. After paying off the debt, you can re-enter the cycle and become an adult in the next life.

I patted the old scalper on the head and said, "Don't cry, there is life and death before there is reincarnation, you have paid off the debt of the previous life, and the next life will be reincarnated in a rich and noble family, and then you will no longer have to use all your strength to pull the plow, close your eyes, and it will be fine soon." ”

The old scalper seemed to understand my words, and screamed a few times at me desolately, and then closed his eyes, the tears in his eyes were still crackling down, doing our business, the most afraid is soft-hearted, to be honest, I have practiced over the years The heart is as hard as iron, I found a piece of cloth, covered the cow's head, the old scalper was very honest, did not resist, I quietly picked up the hammer, and then raised the sledgehammer, towards the cow's head fontanelle is a hammer, the old ox screamed, and fell to the ground, I took the opportunity to take the knife to kill the cow, The old scalper bleed, and the old scalper was panting while spurting blood, and the tears in his eyes were still falling.

I suddenly didn't dare to look at the eyes of the old cow, this is the first time I didn't dare to look, after the old cattle steak skin cramps and decomposition, let the host take the beef back, I asked for some beef such as beef shutters, drank a little wine at night, and lay there to sleep, and the next day I got the City God Temple to play Zhong Kui, so I had to go to bed early and get up early to hurry.

But as soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered the old ox, and I didn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. The temple had to go early, so I often had to leave in the middle of the night, and there were two people who walked with the Karma guys before, but then the Karma guys died, and I was left to walk this road by myself.

But I was bold, and I carried a pig-killing knife in my arms, and I was not afraid of walking at night or anything. Because of the old cattle during the day, I really couldn't sleep, so I got up to cook, and I had to eat enough to eat on the road, and walked hungry, but the more I walked, the slower I went. After eating, I felt that it was a little early to rush to the night, so I sat there and stared, and then I suddenly remembered that when I arrived at the City God Temple, I had to borrow someone's mirror to paint my face, so I simply painted it myself. Drawing Zhong Kui's face is quite troublesome.

Judge Zhong Kui has unkempt hair and beard, and his face is terrifying, but he is also heroic and upright, and is afraid of ghosts, and is the most complex kind of face mask in the face mask, with the main colors black and red, and the colors white and blue. The red brain door is to reproduce the folklore of Zhong Kui's bleeding death by touching the pillar, and at the same time, it also shows Zhong Kui's righteous spirit; Black and white, outlining the black laughing nose socket, big mouth, and valgus nostrils, showing the ugliness and ferocity of its appearance; A blue bat with wings about to fly on the Yin Hall, the homonym of bat and blessing, is a metaphor for Zhong Kui to drive away evil spirits and chase ghosts, and benefit people; The white outline between the eyebrows and eyes restores the legendary lightning pattern, and highlights Zhong Kui's ringed eyes and eyes like a sword, showing the brave and martial power of sharpness, arguing ghosts, and driving away ghosts and evil spirits. The headband and hat on his head are shaking pompoms, the lush mustache on his mouth, and the flying temples erected at his ears and temples make Master Zhong Kui even more domineering and ferocious, and also reveal his ability to suppress evil and be righteous.

So this is very difficult to draw, I painted two bags of cigarettes, only to finish this face painting, looked in the mirror, I am still satisfied with the big flower face I painted, this face looks, although it is ugly and terrifying, but it looks like a righteous body, people dare not stare at it. If you bring a headband, a mustache and flying sideburns, wear an embroidered red robe, and take a demon sword, it will be Zhong Kui who is alive.

After looking at it for a while, I picked up my baggage, took my things, found a big hat, buttoned it down, and walked out of the door, this is the middle of the night, and no one will see it. Walking in the field late at night, in addition to the sound of the wind, only a few occasional bird calls, the cold wind, let me involuntarily shrink my neck, bury my head in the front, walk and walk to the ten mile port, speaking of this ten mile port, is not a good place, you know, in the south of our village ten mile port.

Don't look at the current Shilibu is a big village, but it was different back then, when a plague broke out in Shilibu, the entire village died in the plague, the rest of the people ran away, escaped, that Shilibu became a ghost village, the whole village is ruined. At the beginning, the ghost cried all night, the ghost fire flashed, and then a fire for no reason, the entire Shilibu burned clean, and slowly there was no movement on the village, there were a few songs in the year, that is, Shilibu, Shilibu, a wild ghost cried at night, the wind gusted dust, and the dry bones on the roadside were buried.

Shilibu is on the way to the City God Temple, so I can't hide at all, but I just dodge, I won't hide, I've been walking this road all these years, and I've never met anything. When I walked on the street of Shilibu, I could vaguely see many ruins and broken walls, there was a hairy moon in the sky, and the light was looming, and the big trees in the distance were hidden in the night, which was very mysterious. At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the small wind swept up the dead branches and leaves on the ground, making a sneering sound, and then the wind blew towards the village of Shilibu, passing through the ruins and broken walls, whimpering like a ghost crying, Rao was bold, or was blown up by the scalp of this voice.

At this time, I couldn't help but laugh at myself, I said in my heart Sun Mancang, Sun Mancang, you still claim to be bold, are you afraid now? When I thought of this, I became bold again, and then I inadvertently turned around and found a person in the distance, swaying towards me, although it was a little far away, but I dare to say that it was definitely a person. ”
