Chapter 216: Skinning
This guy with no head, the story he wrote for me at length goes something like this.
Before this person's death, he and the female ghost were distant cousins, although they were far away, but the two families were very close to each other, and they both lived in the same town. The two of them, childhood sweethearts, often play together, and later, the two families naturally married them.
At that time, there were a lot of rules and regulations between men and women, although they were married, but before they got married, they still couldn't meet often, so the two of them secretly went out for a tryst with their family members, and they didn't dare to have a tryst in their town, for fear of being seen, and they ran out a long way every time.
Once, they were a few miles away from the town in a woods, saw a Taoist temple, dilapidated small Taoist temple, in the temple, there lived a middle-aged Taoist priest, two people because of curiosity, they went in to watch, the middle-aged Taoist priest saw that the two people were very close, so they asked them, is it a couple, the two people said, has been married, not yet married. The Taoist priest said again, then report your eight characters to me, I see if the two of you are compatible, and I will test it for you for free.
Out of curiosity, the two of them reported the eight characters to the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest pinched their eight characters, and for a while he read the words, and then, his face changed greatly, saying that the two of them would have a bloody disaster on the day of marriage, and the words were alarmist and evil.
The two of them were very scared when they heard it, and the Taoist priest said, there is no need to be afraid, just break it, and the two of them asked the Taoist priest how to break it. The Taoist priest told them that from him, fifty miles to the east, there is a small village, there is a big family in the village, the vermilion lacquer gate, the high gatehouse, the big courtyard, you two, the man brings a jar of old wine, the woman brings a three-foot red cloth, three days later, knock on the vermilion lacquer door of the house, and an old man will come out of the door, you give the wine and red cloth to the old man, and say that it is sent by the Taoist chief who is a hermitage in the forest, and their family is auspicious, and there is a true immortal protection, as long as the old man opens the door and accepts your wine and cloth, The two of you will be safe and secure on the day of marriage, and you will be happy and beautiful in the future, and your children and grandchildren will be full.
When the two men heard this, they were suspicious, and the Taoist priest seemed to see it, and said, "If you two don't believe it, I have two talismans here, you take them, put them under your pillow when you sleep, and you will believe them the next day."
The two of them were still skeptical, but they accepted the talisman. That night, when the two of them were sleeping, they really put the talisman under the pillow.
The next day, as soon as the two woke up, they met in a panic, and the man said that he dreamed that the woman wiped her neck with scissors on the day of marriage; The woman said that she dreamed that the man hanged himself on the beam of the house on the day of marriage. The dreams of the two people are very real, as if they are happening in front of them.
Immediately, the two of them came to the woods to find the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest asked them, this is the letter, what you dream in your dreams is what will happen on the day you get married, and the two Taoist talismans given to you are the predictors handed down by my ancestors, which can make people see their future in their dreams.
The two of them looked at each other after hearing this, thinking about the situation in the dream, it was very real, and they believed it completely, and promised the Taoist priest that they would definitely go to that village fifty miles away.
The Taoist priest hurriedly explained to them, this matter, except for the two of you, can not be let the third person know, otherwise it will not work, after arriving at the place, if the old man who opens the door accepts your wine and cloth, you will turn around and leave, if the old man wants to invite you into the house for a meal, that is your creation, do not shirk, go in with him, can eat a meal at their house, will bring you boundless good luck, is a blessing that you can not cultivate in several lifetimes.
After listening to this, the two of them were convinced and nodded again and again.
In a blink of an eye, this came three days later, two people secretly ran out of the house again, the man bought a jar of old wine, the woman bought a three-foot red cloth, but, fifty miles, the distance is a little far, the man went to a friend's house to borrow a donkey cart, the friend asked him what he was doing, he said to go to relatives.
The men took the women and drove the donkey cart and walked eastward. Fifty miles, they had never left home so far, the road became more and more desolate, and when it was almost noon, not far ahead, a small village appeared, the village was also very desolate, surrounded by weeds, and looking at the past, there was such a small village alone.
After entering the village, they found that there were only a dozen families in the village, and the two of them didn't need to inquire at all, and they saw the big mansion at a glance. Because the house is surrounded by dilapidated mud houses, some even thatched houses, such a high-walled compound stands out from the crowd in their village, and it is particularly eye-catching.
The two people drove the donkey cart to the gate of the compound to see that it was really two vermilion lacquer gates, so the two people took the wine and red cloth to knock on the door, knocked on the door a few times, the door opened, the door opened, it was really an old man, the old man had gray hair, but he ate fat head and big ears, and his face was full of oil.
The old man asked them what they were doing, and they followed the set of rhetoric that the Taoist priest had taught them before, saying that the Taoist chief in the forest had asked them to send them, a jar of wine and a three-foot red cloth.
When the old man heard this, he didn't say a word, but accepted the wine and the red cloth. Then the two men turned and left, but the old man chased them out of the door and stopped them. The old man said, it's noon at this time, let's go into the house and have lunch before leaving.
When the two of them heard this, they were very happy, because the Taoist priest said that eating one meal from them would bring them good luck.
In this way, the two of them followed the old man into the compound without the slightest guard. The age of the two people at that time was actually not very big, only sixteen or seventeen years old, they were adults in the past, but from a contemporary point of view, they were still children, just imagine, two children who were only sixteen or seventeen years old, how much experience and experience they could have.
The old man didn't take them into the living room, brought them into a side hall, and then, brought them some food, the food was quite delicious, after the two of them finished eating, they had to say goodbye to the old man, who knows, at this time, the old man who originally seemed to be kind, his face suddenly changed, became cold and murderous, followed by a few strong men rushed in from outside the door, three times five divided by two, tied up the two people, and the mouth was blocked.
In the backyard of their house, there is a cellar, and there are two wooden cages in the cellar, and the two of them are put in the cages.
After being closed for more than a month, suddenly one night, the door of the cellar opened, and several strong men carried a square coffin, entered the cellar, pulled the woman out of the cage, stripped her naked, washed it, and then tied it to a pillar in the cellar, and peeled off the skin with a sharp knife.
Skinned alive, in order to prevent the woman's screams, the mouth was blocked, after the skinning, the woman became a bloody person, but not dead, so she was carried into the coffin by a few people, and the coffin mouth was nailed, and the woman was tossed inside.
At this time, the man was also closed in the cellar, and his mouth was blocked at that time, so he watched the woman being skinned.
Then several strong men tied the men's knots, packed them in sacks, carried them out of the cellar, and threw them into a carriage.
The man was scared silly at this time, the feces and urine flowed into his pants, and the woman's tragic death, he didn't know that he was sad, and he was scared, and the whole scene in front of him was bloody and the woman was skinned alive.
The carriage pulled the man, I don't know how long, stopped, and seemed to have reached somewhere.
Several people got the man out of the sack, the man couldn't even stand up, raised his head and looked around, and saw that there was a team of people beside him, and there was no lamp ball torch, it was dark, carrying a large coffin, not far in front of the coffin, it seemed to be a grave pit, and there were several people wearing filial piety clothes standing around the grave, and this group of people seemed to be about to be buried.
Coldly, the man saw a person next to the grave who was very familiar, this person was not wearing filial piety clothes, and when he looked closely, it was the Taoist priest. The man wanted to scold, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't scold.
The Taoist priest then beckoned a few strong men and pulled the man to the edge of the grave, which turned out to be intended to sacrifice the man's blood to the grave. The man was pulled over like this, and his head was cut off with an axe, and the man didn't know what happened after that.
When he came to his senses, he found that he was in a different place, only his body was left, and his head did not know where to go, and his own body was buried under a small mound, and behind the small mound was an elm forest, all of which were small saplings, as if they had been planted.
Later, he wandered around and arrived in the village where the big family was, but there was no one in the big family, as if he had moved away, and then he drifted to the Taoist temple, and the Taoist priest in the Taoist temple was no longer there. He began to look for his lover, that is, the woman, but unfortunately he could not find it, he wanted to look for it in the distance, but he could not go far, and went out to look for the night at night, and when it was almost dawn, the rooster crowed, and involuntarily returned to the bottom of the little mound.
Suddenly, one night, three living people came to the elm forest, and the three of them took the guy who was digging the pit, and sneakily dug up in the elm forest, but after a few diggings, a big black door appeared in the elm forest, and from the black door, a few people with steel forks came out, and a girl came out, and the man saw that this girl was his lover.
The three living people, who seemed to have come to rob the tomb, saw the people coming out of the black door, and scared them away, and the man rushed over at this time, wanting to meet the girl, and the girl also found him, but the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks were stopped by the person with the steel fork, and the girl was dragged back to the big black door, and the black door was closed, and the man was shut out.
After that, the man waited in the elm forest every night, waiting for the girl to come out again, and so, day after day, year after year, I don't know how many years passed, the little saplings grew into old trees, and, spreading their branches, the elm grove was several times larger than before.
Finally one day, the girl had a chance and ran out of the big black door, and the two met, and the girl told the man a lot of things he didn't know, and asked the man to find a way to save her.
It turned out that the big house in the village was inhabited by a dismissed official, who may have committed something and was dismissed, but his home was not raided, and his family was still very rich.
After being deposed, the official was unwilling, looking for someone everywhere, wanting to be rehired by the imperial court, but he was rejected by his former friends, and later, the official met the Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest asked him if there was an old man who was about to pass away.
Officials said that his mother was now very old and seriously ill, and she was afraid that she would not live for a few days.
The Taoist priest said, this is a good thing, you want to make a comeback, and after your mother passes away, you do what I say, I guarantee that within three years, not only can you be rehired by the imperial court, but your children and grandchildren can also soar and have a limitless future......
