Chapter 1 Born with Yin and Yang Eyes, Eighteen Tribulations
Folk ghost stories, true and false.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar named Jiulang in Longxi, who returned home from a visit to friends, and met a woman in Tsing Yi in a broken temple at night in heavy rain. The two fell in love at first sight, talked happily with each other, and fell in love, planting grass for incense and privately setting up for life. Lang is in love with women, the two of them are undressed, and the clouds and mountains are foggy and rainy, and the room is full of gas. At this moment, a blue light flashed. The scholar was shocked and found that the beautiful woman he was holding in his arms had turned into a wooden mallet that pounded clothes. At the temple gate, an old man dressed in a hundred robes and carrying an ancient sword walked into the temple gate, and he told Jiulang that the woman was a female ghost with a mallet that changed her life, and she was specially hooked by young men to suck yang energy. Later, in the northwest area, the act of playing small tricks or fooling ghosts was called the Japanese ghost playing with mallets, or the Japanese ghosts playing with mallets.
In the mountains and wilderness, there are many strange stories.
At the end of the nineties, something strange happened in my hometown......
My hometown, Chabu Town, is located in a remote mountainous area in the northwest, surrounded by mountains and crossed by a Tao River.
On this ancient river, there is life and death.
When I was a child, I went to the river with my friends to fish, and I often saw the wooden rafts going down the river, and the men sang desolate ancient tunes, wading through the waterways in order to live, and taking risks to transport wood for a living.
In summer, there are many children who go to swim in the Tao River, and drowning incidents are not uncommon.
There was once a woman who jumped into the river to find a short time, and when she caught it, she was out of gas, and she poured a stomach full of water, and her belly was swollen like a big iron pot. I heard my grandmother say that people who jump into the river and die are angry, and after the murder, they will become water ghosts, and they will jump into the river over and over again......
If the water ghost wants to be reincarnated, the only way to do it is to pull a stand-in.
This cast a shadow on my childhood, whenever I looked at the turquoise river, I was in a cold sweat, for fear of being dragged down the river by water ghosts. And the strange thing I want to talk about is related to water ghosts, which happened in Linjiabaozi on the other side of the Guzhen River......
Linjiabaozi is located on a loess slope by the Tao River, where more than 30 families live.
There are no wells on the higher ground of the fort, and the only well is by the river, and the whole village depends on this well for drinking water.
On a winter morning, it was already late for dawn, and the rooster crowed again, and Lin Qiye had already climbed up from the kang.
In his life, no matter what he did, he had to hurry up, smoked a bag of cigarettes, got up and carried a bucket, and walked along the crooked path to the river. A round of crescent moon hung high, Lin Qiye hummed a small tune, and his feet were flying fast, racing past the young people.
On the river beach, the wind-blown willow forest whimpered and wailed, revealing the dead silence and slaughter of winter.
Not long after, Lin Qiye came to the well by the river. He stood on the railing of the well, untied the bucket for drawing water, and put the rope by the moonlight, and the bucket plopped into the water. He swung the rope from side to side, and as soon as the rope tightened, the bucket sank to the bottom. Lin Qiye took the rope alternately with both hands, and after a short while, he filled two buckets of water.
He coiled the rope, hung the pail on one end of the pole, took a breath, and just took off the cigarette gun pinned to his waist and was about to smoke, when he heard a faint sound of talking by the river......
Who would go to the river so early?
Lin Qiye became vigilant, he never believed that anyone would be more diligent than himself.
The well is on a piece of wasteland three meters above the river beach, six or seven meters from the river bank.
Lin Qiye lit the old smoking gun, smashed the jade cigarette holder, and walked towards the river, wanting to find out.
He came to the edge of the wasteland, leaned down and looked down, and the river was flowing loudly, and he saw two dark female figures by the river.
"Pear Blossom, I found a stand-in, it's the grandson of Grandpa Zhang's family."
"Mother, you're gone, what should I do?"
"Stay up slowly, alas, I'm going to leave in a moment......"
When Lin Qiye heard it, the old smoking gun was hanging on the ground, and he couldn't be more familiar with that leisurely sound.
Rika was the daughter of the king's widow, who committed suicide by throwing herself into the river because she was defiled by a merchant.
The king's widow was so heartbroken that she jumped into the river......
"Stand-in, Grandpa Zhang's grandson, will you leave in a while?"
Lin Qiye chuckled in his heart, and his scalp tingled for a while, this is a water ghost pull stand-in!
He didn't even care about the burden and the bucket, so he turned around and ran into the fort. After a while, he came to the door of Zhang's house out of breath and knocked on the door hard.
It was Ah Gong Zhang who opened the door, "Old Seven, what a matter, this wood is in a hurry?" โ
At this time, Ah Gong Zhang's grandson was about to go out with a bucket.
Lin Qiye hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and told the truth about what he had just heard from the river.
"Seventh Master, don't be kidding."
Lin Qiye had a straight face: "If you're not afraid of death, go ahead!" โ
Ah Gong Zhang scolded his grandson: "You dead doll carrying a basket, go back to the house,"
Seeing that the young man was gone, Lin Qiye said to Ah Gong Zhang: "This is not child's play, you must not turn a deaf ear." โ
Ah Gong Zhang nodded yes again and again, and let Lin Qiye into the house, and the two lit the brazier, boiled pots of tea and ate roasted buns.
It wasn't until dawn that Lin Qiye went to the river to fetch water......
This has just begun, and what is even more terrifying is still to come.
A few months later, Lin Qiye's daughter-in-law had a big belly, which made the old man very happy, and he looked forward to holding his grandson every day.
However, there is no single line of misfortune.
That morning, Lin Qiye carried dung to the mountains, and just halfway up the mountain, he heard a bleating goat cry coming from the riverside.
Before he could think about it, the bleating sound was already five hundred meters away.
As the saying goes, in the middle of the night, the barren hills bleat, and the ghosts can't run away.
Lin Qiye thought of the water ghost by the river, his hair stood up, he threw down the back basket, pulled his legs and ran to the mountain temple not far away.
In just a few breaths, the bleating sound was already within a hundred meters.
Lin Qiye's head was blank, and a bleating sound sounded in his ears, and he rushed to the door of the mountain temple in one breath and hid under the eaves.
When he looked back, it was dim, and not far away under the gloomy old locust tree, there was a faint shadow fluttering......
Lin Qiye wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, his legs and stomach turned straight, his legs were weak, he trembled all over, and he collapsed on the ground with his back against the wall.
For the next few days, the forest house was restless all night, and the family had nightmares.
Lin Qiye planned to go to the Taoist temple in Daqingshan to find Hu Laodao to see if he could solve the water ghost.
He saw Hu Lao Dao in the Taoist temple and said, "Dao Ye, you see? โ
Hu Laodao held a half-person-tall big wine gourd in his arms, took a sip of wine, pinched his fingers, and said with a burp: "Alas, you have ruined other people's cause and effect, this is asking for hardship!" Maybe you take this painting, if the water ghost becomes more intense and opens the painting, you will naturally be able to subdue the water ghost. He threw a scroll to Lin Qiye.
Lin Qiye was just about to unfold, but Hu Laodao hurriedly stopped: "No, if the spiritual energy is lost, you won't be able to subdue the ghosts." โ
"Thank you." Lin Qiye gave Hu Laodao some money to buy wine, and went home with the scroll.
At night, Lin Qiye heard movement in his daughter-in-law's room, and hurriedly rushed over with his son.
When I opened the door, I saw my daughter-in-law holding scissors in her hand, aiming at her high stomach, and giggling.
"Old thing, you ruined my chance to reincarnate, and I will let your family ruin."
The daughter-in-law's voice was strange and angry, and the sharp scissors stabbed the pregnant big belly.
Lin Qiye was shocked and hurriedly unfolded the scroll, but when he saw a red light flying out, his daughter-in-law screamed and fainted to the ground.
After a long time, the daughter-in-law woke up, her eyes were confused, and when she heard about the previous events, she was so frightened that her soul was not possessed.
Lin Qiye sighed, he looked at the unfolded ancient painting and was taken aback.
I saw that on the ancient painting, there was a red-robed and bearded ugly man holding a sword, this is Zhong Kui's ghost slaying picture!
In the painting, Zhong Kui is stepping on a headless female corpse under his feet, carrying a bloody woman's head in his hand, the ink has not yet dried, and the appearance of the headless corpse and the woman's head is the widow of the king!
"Her soul has been beheaded?" Lin Qiye looked stunned, and his mouth opened wide in shock.
After the son and daughter-in-law saw it, they also looked sideways, how could they have seen such a strange thing?
Although the widow of the king died unjustly, it can be regarded as a happy event in addition to the water ghost.
But before Lin Qiye could breathe a sigh of relief, he only heard his daughter-in-law say with compassion: "You killed my mother, I want to make your whole family die well...... This is the tone of the widow and the widow Pear Blossom.
It's really a wave of unsettled, and a wave of rises!
Lin Qiye hurriedly aimed the ancient painting at his daughter-in-law, but was caught by his daughter-in-law and tore the ancient scroll to pieces.
"Quick, catch her!" Lin Qiye greeted his son, and the two worked together to tie their daughter-in-law to the pillar, afraid that she would bite her tongue and hurt herself, so she stuffed a handkerchief in her mouth.
"Dad, what should I do?"
Lin Qiye said: "You take a good look, I'll go and ask Hu Laodao to come." โ
Lin Qiye worked hard and invited Hu Laodao to Daqingshan.
Hu Laodao glanced at the evil woman and said coldly, "Untie her." โ
"This ...... She's going to do nonsense. Lin Qiye looked melancholy.
Hu Laodao glared: "Isn't there me?" โ
Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief, gave his son a look, and untied the rope.
The daughter-in-law immediately jumped up, opened her mouth and was about to bite, Hu Laodao snorted coldly, and two gasps of wine erupted from her nostrils.
The wine qi formed two spiritual runes, which were attached to the woman's eyebrows and chest, emitting a faint white light.
At the moment, the woman stands still, as if she were a sculpture.
Lin Qiye was dumbfounded, when had he seen this kind of thaumaturgy, he was surprised that he could stuff a watermelon in his mouth.
The son was also shocked and skinless, his eyes were open, his jaw was about to fall to the ground, and his face was in disbelief.
Hu Laodao's face was light, "Pear Blossom, do you still want to be presumptuous in front of Poor Dao?" โ
"Dao Chief, they destroyed my mother's reincarnation, and she was scattered, I want to let their whole family die."
Hu Laodao said calmly: "All cause and effect have a definite number, do you understand?" โ
"I don't believe in cause and effect......"
Hu Laodao said: "Do you want to know, who is the person who defiled you? โ
"Who?"
Hu Laodao said: "That merchant is your mother's lover, and your mother sold your virginity to him for 500 yuan." โ
"Impossible, impossible......" Rika let out a high-pitched, shrill growl.
Hu Laodao flicked his fingers, and a drop of wine turned into a round mirror in the void, and the scenes flashed like a movie......
Pear Blossom couldn't cry after reading it: "Dao Chief, how can this be, I'm so unwilling......"
Hu Laodao sighed and said: "The person who hurt you has been crushed to death by the car, and his soul has been sent to the hell of intestinal drainage, you can go to reincarnation with peace of mind." โ
After a long time, Pear Blossom stopped crying and knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you for the enlightenment." โ
Hu Laodao recited the Ghost Sutra and sent away the ghost of Pear Blossom, but he got a period of cause and effect.
Looking at the unconscious pregnant woman on the kang, his big belly fluctuated, his face sank like water, and his eyebrows were locked.
Lin Qiye saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "Dao Chief, what's wrong?" โ
Hu Laodao said: "The ghost is in the womb, and there is more than auspiciousness!" โ
When Lin Qiye's son heard this, he knelt on the ground and begged: "Dao Ye, please save her." โ
Hu Laodao helped him up: "Don't worry, since you let Lao Dao meet, naturally you won't stand idly by." โ
Subsequently, Hu Laodao uncovered the pregnant woman's clothes, only to see a small blood-red handprint on her bulging belly.
This is a ghost claw, if it is not discovered in time, this fetus is afraid that it will become a ghost baby and eat the mother's body.
When Lin Qiye and his son saw the ghost claws, they were so frightened that their souls flew out of the sky, and their faces turned pale.
Hu Laodao took the pulse and nodded: "The time is just right." โ
"What time?" Lin Qiye asked.
Hu Laodao said: "Today is September 9, 1999 in the solar calendar, weighing nine numbers, the most vigorous yang energy, suitable for midwifery. โ
"However, the old grandmother next door said that there is still one month before the delivery period." Lin Qiye said.
"No way, providence is so, this child is destined to be born prematurely." Hu Laodao said: "Hurry up and prepare hot water, so that he can land at 9:9:9." โ
Towards nine o'clock in the morning, the sunlight shone through the cracks in the lattice windows of the forest house, and the pillars of light shone with a dazzling light.
Hu Laodao bit his fingertips and pointed at the center of the pregnant woman's eyebrows, and the woman woke up, and then covered her stomach and screamed.
Hu Laodao looked out the window, the sunlight was moving on the lattice window, he felt a warm current rising from the dantian, and knew that it was time.
He made a trick, and a drop of blood popped out of his fingertips, turning into a birth charm and submerging into the belly of the pregnant woman.
The woman screamed in pain, beads of sweat rolled on her forehead, her hair was on her face, and after a long time, the baby's head slowly emerged from between her legs......
Lin Qiye's son is overjoyed, he is a little boy, he found a small blanket, and was about to go over, but he was stunned.
I saw that the blood-red baby actually bit off the umbilical cord by itself, stood up and giggled, and held a ball of blood clot in his raised left hand, which was extremely weird.
"Dao...... Road...... Road...... The Taoist ......"
He was so frightened that he couldn't speak, his legs were like lead, and the cool air went straight from the soles of his feet to the heavenly spirit Gai'er.
Hu Laodao looked at it and laughed: "Good boy, this is a finger to the sky, and the way breaks through the sky!" โ
Half a day later, Lin Qiye hugged his little grandson, no matter how he beat or pinched, this little cub just didn't cry, and giggled at people vigorously, unspeakably weird and crazy.
In the people, if you laugh all your life, eighty percent is a debt collector!
I didn't invite the old grandmother to deliver the baby, otherwise it would have spread, and I was afraid that his family's reputation would be ruined.
"Dao Chief, what's the matter with this kid?" The daughter-in-law looked worried.
Hu Laodao said: "This child is born with yin and yang eyes, Jiuyang life, too hard, too close, can't live, and will cause trouble to his family." โ
It was a happy event, but Lin Qiye looked depressed: "What can I do?" โ
Hu Laodao said: "In this way, I will take him to Daqingshan, only by cultivating the Tao since childhood, can he avoid the three calamities, nine tribulations and eighteen calamities, what do you think?" His voice was earnest, and his face was serious.
The Lin family discussed it, and it had no choice but to do so.
"Dao Chief, please give him a name." Lin Qiye said.
Hu Laodao thought for a while and said: "The sun is rising, Ling Yunzhi, just call him Lin Zhi, the road number is Jiuyang." โ
