Chapter 11: The Male Ghost in White
The girls around shouted, "Oh my God, it's so beautiful......"
And the old people shouted: "The mountain god blesses, the bodhisattva blesses"
When I heard the sound and looked up, I saw that on both sides of the road, on the mountain, in the field, by the ditch, on the bridge, all the plants, regardless of the season, were all blooming in unison, so beautiful that it seemed to have fallen into a fairyland.
Colorful butterflies fluttered on the road ahead of us.
The creek under the bridge gurgles.
Birds chirp overhead.
When the breeze gently hit my face, I knew that all worries would dissipate and the gloomy atmosphere between adults would disappear in this moment.
My father came to me and said to me in a much lighter tone, "Look, the mountain god is blessing you, you must be obedient in the cave, don't run around, and wait for your father to come and take you home." ”
I didn't answer, thinking in my heart that the candidates for the Mountain God Sacrifice hadn't been chosen yet, so was it really okay for one or two of you to say this to me like this?
After walking across the Hazelnut Bridge and passing Amitabha, the complicated road has been repaired, and the branches on the road are in a mess.
In the middle of the cave entrance grows a young green oka tree, and when the wind blows, the leaves of the green oka tree exude a unique fragrance. Under the trees are a lot of rubble and fallen leaves, and there are few weeds. It was already past twelve o'clock, and a beam of pure sunlight was shining directly into the cave.
I saw that those girls, like ordinary women getting married, not only did not have a trace of fear because they were going to enter the cave, but there was an inexplicable admiration and joy that spread among the crowd.
Perhaps human nature always yearns for some mysterious things, and a group of mages led by the master led us to kneel at the entrance of the cave.
Standing at the head of the crowd, after chanting and playing, he lit up a piece of yellow rune paper, when the rune paper was not burned out, he threw it into a bowl of water to dissolve, and the master chanted a spell on the water bowl, and then splashed it to the entrance of the cave with lightning speed, and at the same time chanted to the mouth of the cave: "Heaven and earth are cheerful, the four are normal, the mountain gods have spirits, auspicious dreams become pearls, and plants and trees choose people." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew, and in the sound of the wind, there seemed to be a man laughing at the ignorance of everyone, and there was a green gang tree at the entrance of the cave, and suddenly a branch was broken, and it hit the skirts of me and Ning Yiya, because we were kneeling together.
Then the wind blew down, as if nothing had happened.
After the sacrifice was over, all the other women went down the mountain.
Only Ning Yiya and I stayed where I was.
There are only a few people left on the mountain, the master, the uncle, the father, and a few of the master's apprentices and grandchildren.
Lord and a few gentlemen let us bow to the entrance of the cave, so that the whole ceremony, I remembered, Mr. said, the mountain god Qi Ming once had a very loving person, I suddenly felt that this sacrifice, its real blasphemy against the mountain god is.
I refused to worship, and when Ning Yiya smiled and bowed to the entrance of the cave with incense, she suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, unconscious.
Just now, the male ghost in the brown robe with messy hair stood in front of Ning Yiya like ice, he stretched out his hand and pinched her neck, the whole process only took two or three seconds, he disappeared, Ning Yiya's current state is not much different from Ning Yu.
I was also stunned, and it was too late to stop it. But this is obviously the White Python Cave, the male ghost that makes me feel palpitations, in my cognition, there are generally three reasons for the appearance of the ghost ghost, one is that someone dies, the second is someone summons a spirit, and the third is that someone is obsessed, lingering after death, turning into a ghost, and this kind of ghost will never leave his original place, this ghost is special, I saw him three times, and it is no longer the same place.
If the ghosts are as unrestrained as he is, then they seek revenge for revenge, evil for evil, and love for love, and there is no distinction between people and ghosts in collusion, yin and yang, and everyone wants to be ghosts at that time, wouldn't it be a great chaos in the world.
In the end, I was finally sent into the cave alone, and Ning Yiya was quietly sent to the county hospital from another way, and no one knew.
The lamps in the cave hall were like beans, everyone left, only I leaned on the edge of the bed alone, I was vague, I didn't know how long I had been sitting, drowsy, faintly heard a woman's sad and weeping song echoing in the stone cave, the song sang:
"Since the farewell of the king, I have traveled all over Kyushu, and the world has been waking up for a hundred years, and the lights are as bright as day tonight......"
It was pitch black all around, and there was a long-haired man in a long robe and white in the corner of the wall, slightly brighter, his figure was a little transparent, his eyes were blank, and his feet did not land, except that I nodded to me when I came in, and then stood there motionless.
It is probably the person who died in the cave more than 100 years ago, because there is no one to collect the corpse, and there is no creation in itself, but with the unique yin land in this cave, stubbornly want to complete the unfinished things in life, so that the soul image and consciousness can be retained.
But sadly, he seemed to be unable to do anything, and could only stand there day after day, year after year, waiting for the last trace of consciousness to dissipate between heaven and earth. I've heard of such spirits from the elves at the foot of the mountain, but this is the first time I've actually seen them.
Of course, I won't go up to talk to him because I'm bored, such a ghost can't be touched, if I listen to his story, I must be unbearable, and I want to help him complete his obsession, otherwise, the whole person will be at peace because of guilt.
In the middle of the wall on the left side of the cave hall was a small square table, on which were lit two flickering red candles, the candlelight resembling two eyes. The red candle is large, but it is also half burned.
I don't know how long it took, but I was still quietly waiting for the mountain god Qi Ming to come, although the master handed me a rune paper that could summon the mountain god before leaving, but for some reason, I don't want to use it in my heart, I believe that even if I don't use the rune paper given by the master, the mountain god will definitely come.
The hole sounded ticking...... Ticking, like drops of water hitting a rock, the sound is sometimes far and near.
At this time, the sound of stones rolling to the ground suddenly came from outside the cave hall, and the sound of water droplets was mixed with a very faint sound of footsteps, which became closer and closer, and for a while, only the sound of it was heard.
This is not the person I am waiting for, I confirm it immediately; The sound came and went, and just as I was about to think it would ring like this all night, a familiar face suddenly appeared around the corner of the cave hall.
In fact, my eyes, in addition to seeing things that others can't, I see things even more clearly at night. "It's him, Ma Chao. The neighbor of my grandmother's house should be nearly twenty years old this year, a tall and thin handsome boy, if he is not a gambling hobby, he is probably a good young man. ”
What did he come to do? Suddenly I saw a strange look on his face, and I instinctively couldn't let him see me.
I dodged into a corner shrouded in darkness, and I was not afraid of loneliness, nor of darkness, nor of the demons and ghosts around me, but I was afraid of those who carried evil thoughts.
I didn't dare to speak, I didn't dare to move, I squatted silently in place, and saw that his steps were a little vain, as if he was a little drunk. I saw him walk gently towards the bed, and when he was about to get close to the bed, he began to take off his clothes, and I instantly understood what he was going to do. I turned and ran out of the entrance to the cave next to me. Although I was extremely careful, Ma Chao still heard the sound of running away at the same time.
"! Aya is me, what are you running? He lowered his voice and cursed, only to hear his footsteps chasing me, he ran a few steps back and grabbed the flashlight on the table and turned it on, he was tall and long-legged, and soon caught up, some people probably think I am more courageous, but to be honest, although I am not afraid of ghosts, but I am very afraid of people, I have never encountered such a situation, I just want to run forward, he chased behind, while shouting his cousin's name.
I felt that he was getting closer and closer to me, and when I was panicking, I suddenly saw a crack about a foot wide and about one meter and a half high next to me that could pass through.
I ran in without hesitation, only to see the white-clothed ghost standing in the corner of the wall before but didn't know how to leave that place, he was in front, beckoned to me three times, and instantly moved away from me a few meters, I understood, he wanted me to pass, this time I don't care so much. I ran in his direction.
As he ran, he suddenly heard the sound of flowing water, and there was no one behind him.
Without stopping for a moment, I rushed forward by inertia and almost ran into the river.
It should be very deep water, but fortunately it didn't fall.
I looked at the underground river in front of me with palpitations, and found that there were some darker things in the black and oppressive river, which were entangled in wisps, one by one, rising and falling in the water, like a pure black mess, and like a human head with long hair floating in the water.
They seemed to float towards me, and I had to get close to the wall again and run back, one foot deeper and one foot shallow.
There was a terrifying laugh behind him, and he couldn't hear the men and women, like a ghost crying wolf.
