According to the record of "The Secret of Maoshan Mountain", the jealous woman ghost was a resentful woman before her death, and she was abandoned by her husband and turned into a ghost who would not be dispersed after death. Judging from the degree of resentment of Erya, it can be judged that she died at least three months ago. And Erya can freely switch between the virtual body and the entity, which means that she is a ghost, because the new ghosts all appear in the virtual body, and they can only appear in the entity with a certain Taoism, such as the ghost baby. As for who trapped Lian Mei's soul, this still needs to wait for Lian Mei to wake up and ask her. In short, it can be concluded that the real culprit behind Baisha Village is an extremely cunning jealous ghost, hidden deep and invisible.

"Er Ya is a ghost now!"

Lu Jianguo said affirmatively. "The ghosts of jealous women and ghosts are so fierce, that's really not funny!"

Lu Jianguo got up and looked at the depths of the mountain with his back on his back, Lu Jianguo seemed calm, but what I saw was fear.

In ancient times, it was said that a person who was eaten by a tiger would become a ghost after death, and he would lure people to eat the tiger and act as a ghost for the tiger. In fact, this explanation of ghosts can be explained by the "Stockholm syndrome" in psychology. The soul of the victim Er Ya is too obsessed, and only with the help of the power of the jealous woman and ghost to persecute the weaker can his distorted psychology be satisfied. After a long time, the jealous woman and ghost changed from hatred to admiration, and finally became a ghost. Erya is a patient with "Stockholm syndrome" in the ghost world.

"The ghost has been caught, and the jealous ghost will inevitably hide for a while!"

"Then what is the way to find the jealous ghost?"

"No hurry! Later, let's go to Erya's house to have a look. Ghosts and monsters are usually aimed at the first victim. ”

Erya's house is under the bamboo forest at the east end of the village, and it is an adobe wooden building, with a simple style. It's been empty for two months, and the contents of the house are covered with thick dust. The old man took us into Erya's room, Erya's room was very simple, there was an old-fashioned flower bed in the room, and there were a lot of "hate" words written on the wooden board of the flower bed.

A broken table with a picture of Erya on it, exactly the same as the one I saw last night. On the back of the photo is a crooked pencil line "Let me go", looking at the handwriting is written in a hurry, and I am still missing a stroke.

What is it that makes Erya full of resentment, and what does Erya mean by writing "let me go" on the back of the photo? This series of questions kept echoing in my mind, and I couldn't figure it out. After looking at Erya's house, we didn't say anything, and left with Lao Lao.

"This is troublesome, Xiao Xia, what do you see?"

"I'm not sure, but I feel that thing in Baisha Village is following Erya!"

"Yes, eight or nine is not far from ten!"

In Baisha Village, in the month of Erya's disappearance, three or four young descendants died. What's more, we have concluded that Erya has become a ghost! It's even more certain that that thing is coming for Erya. Moreover, that thing is only aimed at young offspring, skinning them whole. As for the eldest girl and the second girl will die violently, we don't have a clue for a while.

"Get old, although I don't have any big clues, but I think about it carefully. Erya is the embryo of a beauty in Baisha Village, and the jealous woman ghost uses her as a beauty trick to seduce the offspring. After killing ten lives, that thing's strength increased dramatically. One second girl is obviously not enough, so I can only hook up another lotus sister who is also a beautiful embryo and be a ghost! Seduce more future generations for her. When she kills a hundred people, she'll be a ghost! Then the whole village will be ruined! ”

The old man himself is engaged in the ghost and god industry, and when he heard Lu Jianguo say this, his face turned green, and he trembled with fright. "Two mages, is there a way to save them?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know the ...... of Baisha Village"

The old man spat at the mouthful, "I spit on a mouthful of nails in Baisha Village, the mage said!" Lu Jianguo saw that the old man said it simply, lowered his voice, and said the strategy again. Speaking of the old man, he was sad at first, and soon his face was full of brightness, nodding his head and leaving, saying "Certainly, definitely!" ”

I was stunned, and when I pricked up my ears to listen, I only heard a few words such as "afterlife" and "sacrifice to the spirit". I thought to myself, "Rub! Which play is Uncle Lu singing! Even I have to hide it! ”

On that day, Lu Jianguo and I returned to our hometown, either wandering around or eating and drinking, and from 13 May to 15 May, we spent all our leisure in this way. During this period, Lu Jianguo disappeared for a while, but soon came back, and I didn't think much about it. I was old for three days, and I didn't go home until late at night to rest.

Soon it was May 15, and the oriental fish belly was whitish. Lu Jianguo still didn't make any moves, and I was a little impatient to wait. was afraid that Li Dazui would be "sacrificed", so he quietly went to the cabin many times. The first three or four men outside the cabin were in the handle, and there was no chance to get closer. Finally, when the sun was waning, the sky was dark, and I took advantage of the handover of the man, and quietly entered the cabin, which was dark and oppressive of people. I had barely gotten close to the cabin when I was kicked into it and thrown into the crowd with a bewildered expression.

I don't know how long it took, twenty or thirty of us descendants, bound by our front hands and back hands, came from the small wooden house to the front of the big temple under the escort of seven or eight men with knives, like the prisoners. The lights in front of the big temple were bright, but the moonlight was suppressed. We were escorted to a platform in the courtyard of the temple, the platform was black and squatting full of people, and I was also driven into the crowd, and Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu were whispering in the temple. I was about to open my mouth when I was hit on the head with a flat load, and then a rag gagged my mouth.

I had no choice but to take a closer look at the great temple with the help of the lights. The temple is a tall wooden structure with eaves and arches, and the roof of the main hall is supported by six beams. The top of the column that undertakes the girder is carved with some disc gourds, and the bottom of the pillar is embedded in the stone pier with an open mouth. In the middle of the temple sits three statues of gods, namely the yellow-backed, green-backed, and black-backed toads, with a big belly. His mouth was so cracked that he seemed to be laughing. Needless to say, it's the image of the pot-bellied god.

The big-bellied god means the god of the moon in the local dialect. This is similar to the Han people's comparison of the moon with a golden toad. Legend has it that more than 300 years ago, Chief Shengfan grew up and led the people to successfully repel the invasion of Li Zicheng's army. After his death, he was worshipped as a god by his clansmen. During the Qing Dynasty, the obscene earth temple was demolished on a large scale, and the potbelly temple was naturally not spared. During the Jiaqing period, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty declined, and the earth temples began to be rebuilt. Due to the age, the locals mistakenly thought that the potbelly god was the legendary golden toad god, so the temple was re-established. According to the five elements of the land, mountains and rivers, and water, they worship the three toad statues of yellow, green and Xuan. On the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of each month, sacrifices are performed according to traditional customs.

Baisha Village is one of the few villages dedicated to the Big Belly God, and three animals and six animals are used for worship on the fifteenth day of each month. If someone offends the god of the mountain or the god of the cave. When he was old, he would ask the pot-bellied god if he wanted to sacrifice. If the pot-bellied god allows, the old man will make arrangements, and by the fifteenth day of this month, or the fifteenth day of the next month, the "spirit" of those who have offended the gods will be "sacrificed", and the sacrificed person can only resign himself to fate.

The practical human "sacrifice to the spirit" is very simple, first drive the victim to the platform of the Potbelly Temple, and then untie the rope. After that, he will perform the drama of "The Belly King Explores the Yin" on the stage. With the old chanting spell, Wu Zheng poured a cup of spell water on the sacrificer, and the sacrificer was in a state of confusion. All the villagers bowed down together, and after kneeling three times and bowing to the sacrificer. Three times each of the brass drums were beaten, and the people turned upside down and withdrew from the temple. As for burning with fire, that's all outside rumors.

If the potbelly god descends on the temple, take away the sacrificer. will make a gap in the platform. The notch is not cut with a blade, and it is smoother than the cut of the blade, so it is easy to recognize. I was tied up, and I had nothing to do, so I thought of this, so I carefully stared at the perimeter of the platform, and calculated in my heart that there were about eighty-four or five gaps. It wasn't long before the sound of a conch sounded on stage, calling me back to the real world.

I listened to the whimpering sound of conch and poked my head towards the potbelly idol. The old man wore a ghost mask, a tiger skin coat, a pu fan in his left hand, and a copper bell in his right hand, shaking and ringing. At the same time, the copper drum struck four times, and the villagers hurriedly knelt down, shouting monosyllabic words like "good" in their mouths. It was read and sung like this, and it lasted for about half an hour. Finally, the brass drums sounded four times each. Wu Zheng took more than 20 cups of water on the table, took out a yellow talisman, burned it with fire, twisted up a piece of ash, and bounced it into the cup. Needless to say, it's spell water.

I can now understand that the so-called curse water is nothing more than ecstasy. The series of incantations and dances was nothing more than a form of performance, and even the burning of the yellow talisman was a deceptive trick. Although I am not deep, I have been in this field for more than half a month, and I still understand the superficial truth. That's just Ecstasy in the water, and people drink it and fall unconscious!

Several villagers came up and forcibly broke our mouths, and everyone poured a cup. I just felt my eyes darken and my consciousness blurred. Although there were many sounds of the brass drum in front of me, I felt like it was floating down from the clouds. At some point, I passed out.

I don't know how long it took, but I was woken up by a cold wind and felt that it was very quiet. With the help of the bright moonlight, I noticed that there was not even a single figure around the platform. Only then did I suddenly remember that I had not seen Li Dazui since I got close to the cabin. First, the cabin was crowded, and second, he was rushed to the Potbelly Temple in a hurry, so he ignored this main owner. I cursed in my heart, "Damn! How did I become a living sacrifice? ”

The Potbelly King Temple is unusually quiet, and when I think of the jealous woman and ghost that Lu Jianguo said, my psychology is extremely complicated. "Rub! Was Lao Tzu betrayed by Lu Jianguo? "When I think about this, I can't help but feel creepy. On second thought, "He's certainly not such a person!" "All kinds of strange thoughts haunted my mind. I hurriedly climbed down the altar and ran towards the gate. "Rub! The door is locked from the outside! "Now that's good! The main hall was unusually quiet.

Quack!

A strange laugh came from the pot-bellied god, and a terrifying scene happened!
