Chapter 10: Evil Spirits
Back at Lao Li's house, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ziping asked the two men guarding Ajie, and heard that Ajie had been sleeping and hadn't woken up halfway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Ziping saw that there was nothing wrong, so he casually explained two sentences and went home.
The custom in the village is that after death, a person is required to keep a vigil for 7749 days, and a kneeling ceremony is performed every seven days. Of course, the first seven days are commonly known as the "first seven". The "first seven" is generally regarded as the "night of resurrection", that is, the night when the deceased relatives come back in front of the underworld, why can people go home to see it on the seventh day after death? There's a saying here! The ghost of the person who died on the first day is not aware that he is dead, and will be in a state of confusion and nightmare, and it will not be until the third day that he will find that he is dead, but at this time the ghost cannot speak, cannot dream, and even if there are a thousand words, it is difficult to tell his relatives. Generally on the fifth or sixth day, the bull-headed horse-faced black and white impermanence is found, and the ghosts are allowed to come back to see their relatives before going to the underworld, and this day is called "Tou Qi". And black and white impermanence is in charge of the people who are dying, bulls and horses, and people who have not completed their lives. In the case of Mrs. Li, she committed suicide before her longevity was exhausted, and it was Niu Tou Ma Mian who came to pick her up.
Nonsense aside, that night, around 90 o'clock, the two men guarding Applejack were drinking tea and eating peanuts in the house and chatting, but they saw Applejack lying down struggling and sitting up. The two men were startled, looked at them fixedly, and felt much more at ease. This Applejack still has a rope tied to her, so it is not easy to escape. But when Applejack opened her eyes, a green light flashed in her eyes, she looked at the two men, grinned, and said, "Help me loosen my bonds." ”
"Why?" A man said.
Applejack laughed, didn't speak, and struggled hard, only to see the hemp rope that had been tied to him fall off.
The two men were so frightened that they couldn't sit still, dumbfounded.
Applejack stood up, slowly stepped forward, and "snapped" two slaps on the faces of the two men, full of force. The two men only felt a heat on their faces, and a force pushed their bodies and flew out without saying anything, slamming open the door of the room.
The villagers and neighbors in the courtyard of Lao Li's house only heard a loud noise, and saw that the door of the house next to them was slammed open, and two people flew out, and they all looked confused, not knowing what was happening. Before the group could come to their senses, Applejack came out of the room, dragging a chair. The chair dragged to the ground with a "squeak" screeching sound.
After Ajie walked out of the door, he put the chair at the door of the room, sat down, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he pointed at Lao Li and scolded: "You damn little bastard, I gave you a son, you don't thank me, but find someone to harm me, I think I didn't bother to pay attention to your mother at the beginning, if I hadn't seen her old man begging me, I wouldn't have wanted her more than half a hundred cheap life that year!" ”
Applejack scolded Lao Li, who was so frightened that he didn't dare to fight back. The third uncle stood on the side, and he didn't dare to look up at Ajie, only that the light flashing in Ajie's eyes seemed to be cold that pierced the bone marrow, which made people dare not look at it.
The villagers and neighbors in the entire courtyard were so frightened that they crowded together, but no one dared to leave, and because they were afraid of Ajie who was possessed by evil spirits, no one dared to say a good word for Lao Li's family.
The third uncle hinted that the people next to him should go and invite Li Ziping to come, and the people next to him nodded, and after a while, they squeezed into the crowd, and then left the house to find Li Ziping.
This demon-possessed Applejack is also strange, but he keeps scolding and scolding, and he doesn't hurt everyone, and after a good quarter of an hour has passed, he stops talking, stands up, and walks in front of Lao Li.
Lao Li was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground at this time, and a bean-sized cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Applejack glanced at the third uncle, who was shocked, his body was in debt, his head was lowered, and he didn't dare to look at Applejack.
Ajie sneered and said, "You third-rate Taoist priest, what can you do to me when I stand in front of you today?" As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't care about the trembling third uncle, and then said to Lao Li: "Originally, I wanted to keep your Li family a vein of incense, but now you have angered me, just wait to cut off your children and grandchildren!" As soon as he finished speaking, he burst into a burst of laughter, turned and walked out of the courtyard.
Lao Li heard that the whole person had collapsed to the ground, and the third uncle hurriedly went to help him. When Applejack walked by, he also glanced at the villagers and neighbors in the yard. Everyone lowered their heads, and wherever they dared to look at him, they were afraid that they would accidentally provoke this evil ghost.
Applejack walked to the wooden door of the courtyard, turned around, and said, "If Li Ziping comes later, you can ask him to go to the ancient house to find me." With that, he swaggered out.
At this end, Li Ziping was at home, looking at an old yellowed book under a kerosene lamp. In those days, there was no entertainment, and after nightfall, you either went to bed early or read some books or something. It was also quiet outside the house, and there was no one on the street.
Then there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and when the footsteps reached the door of Li Ziping's house, they stopped, and then they heard a knock on the door: "Ziping, Ziping, something is wrong, something is wrong." ”
Li Ziping opened the door, saw that it was Ah Hei, and said, "What's wrong?" ”
"That evil ghost is wielding power in the courtyard!" Ah Hei said a little breathlessly. It seems that he came to Li Ziping's house at a trot.
Li Zi's flat color did not change, it seemed that he had already knew, nodded, and said, "I'll go to Li's house!" ”
After speaking, he went back to the house to clean up, took the cloth bag that he carried with him on weekdays, and followed Ah Hei to Lao Li's house.
When I came to Lao Li's house, the evil ghost Ajie had already left, and I saw the villagers and neighbors in the courtyard talking about it, and when they saw Li Ziping coming, they all hurriedly came forward and described what had just happened.
After listening to it for a long time, Li Ziping probably understood the reason, and was glad that nothing had happened to the people in the Li family at present, so there was no need to worry too much.
"Where did the demon tell me to find him?" Li Ziping asked.
"That old house two miles outside the village." The third uncle said.
"Okay, I'll go." Li Ziping said.
"Ziping, do you want to make preparations? How many people do you want to come along? The third uncle was a little worried.
Li Ziping smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go by myself, that evil ghost can't help me, I'm full of karma, and it's not his turn to clean me up." After saying that, he turned around and left.
The hearts of all the villagers and neighbors seem to have been raised, there is such an evil ghost in the village, this is not only the matter of the old Li family, but it will also affect other people. If Li Zi is not even, I am afraid that the whole village will be panicked and unsettled.
