Chapter 11: Ancient Houses
The ancient house is located two miles outside the village, and the reason why it is called "ancient house" is because the house has been around for a certain number of years and has some small stories. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is said that in those days, the old house was inhabited by a rich man in Shili Eight Township, who built the house not far from the village, firstly, to explain his status, and secondly, he did not want to get along with those poor villagers. The rich man is very rich, but he is also very stingy, and the villagers hate him very much. After he built the ancient house, he also invited four or five big men to guard the house for him. However, perhaps it is because although the rich are rich, they do not treat others well on weekdays, so they have formed a lot of enemies. On July 14 of one year, several masked bandits broke into the rich man's house, killed several bodyguards who were guarding the house, and slaughtered the rich man's entire family. Because the day of this incident was on the 14th of July, the people in the vicinity spread the word, and in the end, it was said that it was a ghost who had wronged him and asked for his life. All in all, mystical plot stories abound, but most of them are not credible. This rich man built a house outside the village, and it was inevitable to attract the attention of the thieves, and it was common sense to cause trouble. If the ancient house is built in the village, even if someone wants to do evil, they are more or less worried about being seen by the villagers and the people.
When the rich man died, the house was deserted, and occasionally some beggars and homeless people came to stay here, but they said that at night they saw a dead man hanging from the ceiling, and a headless gentleman sitting on the chair of the master, and the room would be dressed with strange laughter and cries. Over time, the story spread through ups and downs, and the villages of ten miles and eight towns knew that no beggar and homeless dared to go later. And the old people in the nearby villages, whenever they tell ghost stories to the younger children, they have to mention this ancient house.
When Li Ziping was young, he passed by this ancient house with his father several times, and when he was young, he heard some rumors in the village and was very scared. But his father told him that the main reason why there was dirt in the house was because of feng shui problems. The feng shui of the house has the effect of gathering yin, resulting in constant dirt, which can be explained by the magnetic field problem, in the current scientific terms. Because the magnetic field force under the ground here is strong, it has an adsorption effect on spirits such as ghosts to a large extent, and spirits can be explained as a kind of energy body, which is an energy that exists in the world, so the ghosts here cannot leave for many years. Li Ziping understood that probably because of the problem of feng shui gathering yin, the ghosts here can be better hidden and not discovered by the bull head and horse face. Niu Tou Ma Mian can't find them, and naturally he can't take them away.
Before Li Ziping walked to the ancient house, he saw a figure sitting on the dilapidated eaves outside the ancient house, and the moonlight sprinkled down and shone on the figure, like a faint trace of green light.
"The doll of the seventh and a half months, holding flowers in her hand, went out to play and came home, and there was no mother at home, the mother was hanging on the tree, and the father was sitting under the tree, and the mother-in-law was knitting clothes, smiling at the doll...... "Li Ziping heard Ajie singing this nursery rhyme. Applejack's singing voice is melodious, as if it can be transmitted far and far into the mountains and forests.
Li Ziping frowned, this evil ghost was exiled to a foreign land during the Ming Dynasty, if there was anyone else who knew everything about what happened in this village, it was him. The nursery rhyme he sings now seems to be the story of what happened in this ancient house back then. It is said that when the ancient house was attacked by thieves, a rich man had a young daughter who was playing outside, and when he came back, he saw that his family had been murdered. It's just that I don't know what this nursery rhyme says, "Mother hanging on the tree, mother-in-law weaving clothes" means. Could it be that after the thieves killed the rich man's family, they also hung the body of the rich man's wife on the tree in the yard? And when the rich man's mother was killed, could it be that she was weaving clothes in the shade in this courtyard? So from this point of view, those thieves were not only for robbing money, but it is estimated that most of them had enmity with the rich. Li Ziping never expected that after this bizarre story was told by the villagers for decades, he would now hear the real version from an evil ghost.
"You're here!" Applejack looked at Li Ziping and spoke, the green light in her eyes a little seeping.
"What? Did you want to kill me if you asked me to come here? Li Ziping snorted coldly and said slowly.
Applejack smiled and said, "I said I wouldn't kill you, and I can't take your life, but with your life skills, you can probably calculate what will happen to the village in the future." ”
When Li Ziping heard this, his eyes narrowed, stared at Ajie, and said, "Don't be rampant, someone has already invited someone from the Taoist family, and no matter how powerful you are, you won't be able to hide from it." ”
"Oh?" Applejack seemed a little disdainful and said, "I just wanted to tell you one thing, I've already received a pass from the underworld." ”
"You got your pass?" Li Ziping was a little surprised.
The communication card is issued by the local government, and the ghosts who usually stay in the human world will only be given a pass when the local government believes that they meet the criteria for reincarnation.
"Now that you've got the pass, why do you want to hurt Old Madam Li?" Li Ziping said.
"Old Madam Li is not my fault, she is in a hurry to hang herself before I take her life, not to mention that I only got the pass today, otherwise I would not be too lazy to deal with you." Applejack said.
Li Ziping was stunned and said: "That ...... after a while" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ajie: "That has nothing to do with me, I am independent, he is also independent, I can't control him, he naturally has nothing to do with me, but don't worry, I will go to the underworld at 12 o'clock tonight to report, this person who is possessed by me, I will not harm him." ”
When Li Ziping heard this, his heart was slightly settled, and he said, "If you called me just to tell me this, then you can leave now." ”
Applejack suddenly burst into laughter and said, "There's another word, someone asked me to send you." ”
"Who? What words? Li Ziping was puzzled.
Ajie smiled and read: "Life is death, death is life, there is ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree, and you will know the hardships when you go to Longhu, and the yin and yang are also confused." ”
Li Ziping followed the silent recitation, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he understood something, and he couldn't help but speak: "Yes......" Before the words were spoken, he was interrupted by Ajie, only to see him say: "See through it or not, isn't this the truth of your life magicians?" ”
Li Ziping took a deep breath and nodded.
Applejack laughed, "I'm gone, I'll see you in the next life." ”
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly hit, and before Li Ziping could react, he saw Applejack's body on the eaves of the wall swaying and falling down all of a sudden.
"Ouch......" wailed, but saw Applejack's whole body fall firmly. Li Ziping knew that the evil ghost was gone, and it seemed that he had not broken his promise.
"Are you alright?" Li Ziping asked.
"Ziping? Why are you here? Applejack came to her senses, looked around, and said, "Where is this?" How did I end up here? ”
"Your face is short-lived, you have escaped a catastrophe today, count you as a blessing, your ancestors accumulate virtue, follow me back to the village, this is an ancient house." Li Ziping said.
"Furuya?" When Applejack heard this, she was so frightened that she got up from the ground, forgetting the pain of the fall just now.
"Let's go!" Li Ziping didn't bother to explain, turned around and left.
