The two of us talked almost all night, and when it was dawn, we decided to wait until daylight to meet his master in order to unravel the mystery in our hearts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
There was no class that afternoon, I followed Liu Yu to a relatively dilapidated looking community, Liu Yu took me up to the fourth floor, he knocked on the door and turned his head to whisper to me: "My master is a weirdo, don't talk too much when he doesn't ask you......" I nodded solemnly.
After a long time, an old man wearing loose clothes came to open the door for us, and Liu Yu bowed respectfully and said, "Master! I bowed too.
This is a regular three-bedroom apartment, although it is snowing lightly outside, but the house is extremely warm, I looked at this old man, it does look like a fairy wind bones, although thin but the waist is straight, with a wisp of white goatee on the chin, wearing a white Chinese suit, although there are wrinkles at the corners of the eyes but still heroic, he walked into the room and sat down at a table, unhurriedly picked up the pipe and took a puff of enjoyment, and said slowly: "Xiaoyu has been studying well recently?" β
Liu Yu and I sat on the sofa next to him, and he changed his usual arrogance and replied respectfully: "Yes, Master, everything is fine with the apprentice, so that Master is worried." β
The old man turned his gaze to me and asked, "Who is this?" I just wanted to speak, but Liu Yu hurriedly replied: "He is my classmate." Calling ......" didn't wait for him to finish, his master closed his eyes and said slowly: "You are the head of the hundred family names, your eyes can see yin and light, the geese are in the sky, and the sea is inductive." After speaking, he took another puff of his pipe and continued: "The young man is here to ask something. The tone was gentle but powerful.
I thought for a moment, and then opened my mouth wide in surprise, this old gentleman not only calculated my name in just a few minutes, but also opened his mouth to hide my name in the poem with a few limericks, and he knew that my eyes were different from ordinary people, and I had to make people admire, I arched my hand to him and said: "The old gentleman is really a god, you are really amazing!" Admire and admire, I won't tell you, we really have a few things to ask you about today! β
Liu Yu didn't seem to be very surprised, and the corners of his mouth were raised and he said to me with pride and pride: "How about it, I'm not wrong, my master is the reincarnation of Zhuge , knows astronomy, knows geography, knows Zhongtongren, Ming Yin and Yang, understands gossip, knows Qimen, knows Dunjia, and knows the world when he is in a thatched house!" Liu Yu said more and more energetically, the top hat was a belt, and the horse's fart was louder than one, but he accidentally slapped the horse's leg, and his master, Eagle Eye, said angrily: "Don't boast of yourself!" Liu Yu pouted, and his master turned to me: "I already know a little bit about it...... I asked with my mouth wide again: "Sir, do you know a little bit about it?" β
The old gentleman nodded slightly: "I feel the breath of charm in the two of you......" and then the old gentleman explained to us what "charm" is.
Charm, in "Zuo Chuan, Wen Gong Eighteen Years" has a record of "cast into the four descendants, to the charm of the royal ghost", Du pre-note said: The charm is born of the strange atmosphere of the mountains and forests, and it is a victim. In other words, ghosts are ghosts. And among them, the charm is a monster that seduces people, and lives by eating human souls. Liu Yu's master told us that there are some people now, who are raising ghosts, catching ghosts and feeding them, ghosts can't directly hurt people, and ghosts can, ghosts are invisible and charms are tangible, but ordinary people can't easily see them, just like the dimension where the charm is located is different from us, there are many things in this world that we haven't found, the powerful charm can be said to be omnipotent, and the people who raise the charm are usually to make the charm work for themselves, just like the Nanyang ghosts that were once popular on the Internet, some celebrities raise ghosts just to get fame and fortune. The reason why the ghost appeared in the school yesterday was to prey.,The ghosts of the Japanese soldiers in the school.,That day they were all looking up at the bottom of the building.,It's very likely that they're looking at the ghost.,they're afraid of the ghost.,Later, I never saw the ghosts of those Japanese soldiers.,There are two possibilities.,The first is that they're hiding.,It's like I haven't seen them for a whole semester.,The second is that they're eaten by the ghost.,The ghost came to the school because he felt their taste.,The ghost will run to the dormitory to find the ghost's hiding place., Now the charm usually does not hurt innocent ordinary people, only when they have not eaten for a long time, will they have to hurt human beings, eat the soul, this may also be after a long period of changes, the charm of habits are also changing, I heard that in the past, the charm also fed on the living......
Legend has it that during the Western Jin Dynasty, many nomads outside the Saiwai took advantage of the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and the weakening of the national strength, and successively established non-Han regimes, forming a confrontation with the Han regime. There is a place called Dongshan Village, which is surrounded by mountains, and the war has not affected the village, because the land there is not suitable for growing crops, so most of the young and middle-aged people in the village rely on hunting in the mountains to make a living, and the women sometimes pick some wild fruits and grasses, although the life is not richer than the people in the city, but it is also peaceful and comfortable, but it is said that demons are born in troubled times, and in that situation, demons and monsters are even more rampant.
There is a hunter in the village, I heard that it is called Niu Mancai, he has natural divine power, burly, people in the same village can only fight some rabbits and pheasants and the like, but he can subdue a wild boar by himself, usually some meat that can not be eaten and the same villagers for some rice and flour clothes, this Niu Barbarian belongs to the extremely honest type, there is a saying called stupid strength, to describe him is very suitable. He has an older brother who is a few years older than him, and an elderly father, his elder brother is diametrically opposed to his character, running trains all day long, either going to the east to flirt with the little girl, or going to the west to hook up with the little widow, idle all day long, because he is not very good at words, he has not married in his twenties.
One day he went up the mountain to hunt, saw a sika deer from a distance, he took the arrow on the crossbow was aiming, the sika deer ran away, he followed, the sika deer turned a corner and ran to the back of a big stone, Niu Man was ready to go around to hunt sika deer, but when he just turned over, he heard a woman's voice shouting for help, kind he gave up the opportunity to hunt, turned around to find someone who asked for help, he searched according to the voice, and found a young and beautiful woman Lu Xiaoping, One of her feet got stuck in a crack in a large stone, and Niu Man hurriedly stepped forward and exerted all the strength to move the stone away. After that, like many clichΓ© stories, he brought the beautiful woman home, took care of it, she took care of the housework for her, washed clothes, burned wood for cooking, a year later, although the beautiful woman healed her injuries, but did not leave, and married the Niu Mancai who moved the big stone for her, the people in the village said that Niu Mancai is a good person has a good reward, married a gentle and virtuous wife, Niu Mancai built a small house not far from home, used as their new house, Lu Xiaoping smiled every day in the days when he first got married, Niu Mancai hunted harder, the little couple lived very happily, but they have been married for more than three years and they have never had children, the people in the village began to say that Lu Xiaoping could not give birth, and Niu Mancai took another room, Niu Mancai was always unwilling, and gradually the smile on Lu Xiaoping's face became less and less, one day Niu Man carried the two rabbits he had just hit home, and as soon as he entered the house, Lu Xiaoping happily ran over and told him that he was pregnant, and the doctor in the village said that it had been two months, Niu Man was very happy, and the rumors were self-defeating.
Time passed day by day, seeing Lu Xiaoping's belly getting bigger and bigger, the time of childbirth was approaching, one day Newman went hunting again during the day, Lu Xiaoping was preparing dinner in the yard, she heard the door crackling, opened the door and saw that it was Niu Mancai's brother, Lu Xiaoping knew that he was not a good person, and he always went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, every time he either came to borrow money or prey, Lu Xiaoping opened his mouth and asked: "Is there anything wrong with the eldest brother?" Niu Mancai's brother staggered in, and when he saw it, he drank wine, and his mouth was thinking: "Why can he be a fool and marry a beauty like you?" I can only marry an ugly? I'm going to do it for you today! Saying that, he pounced on Lu Xiaoping and pushed her into the house, Lu Xiaoping swore to resist to the death, picked up a kitchen knife, and Niu Mancai's brother shouted: "I don't believe you dare to cut me!" While speaking, he stretched out his hand to Lu Xiaoping's clothes, Lu Xiaoping chopped the kitchen knife at him in a hurry, this knife hit his face, and the blood flowed down at that time, Lu Xiaoping was frightened when he saw this, and the kitchen knife fell to the ground with a bang, and then Niu Mancai's brother was even more excited, picked up the kitchen knife from the ground and slashed at Lu Xiaoping, and finally when Lu Xiaoping fell in a pool of blood, Niu Mancai's brother suddenly sobered up, he grabbed the door and went out, he had nowhere to go, and finally returned home. Niu Man returned home, found that his wife still had a breath, he picked up his wife and went to find a doctor, but the two doctors in the village said that they could not be saved, Niu Man knew that they just didn't want his wife to die in their place, Niu Man was disappointed and hugged the dying Lu Xiaoping back home, he found that there was a word "brother" written by his wife in blood on the ground, and in the end he still failed to save her life, Lu Xiaoping died, Niu Man rushed to his brother's house like crazy, asking him to pay for his blood debt, but his brother died and did not admit it, Niu Mancai guarded his wife's tail seven at home, and then took Lu Xiaoping's bones and left the village together......
More than 20 years later, the people in the village have forgotten the cruel murder, and also forgot the time when Niu Mancai and Lu Xiaoping were in the past, strange things happened, people often disappeared in the village, and it didn't take long for the body of the missing person to be found on the mountain or at the entrance of the village, and later people said that those who disappeared were all men, and they had all seen a charming woman before they disappeared, and these men often sneaked out in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with her, and some people would call "little sister" in their sleep, Later, when the women chatted together, they guessed that "Xiaomei" might be the woman's name......
It turned out that Niu Man left with Lu Xiaoping's bones, it was he who felt that the village that originally made him feel happy was so cold-hearted, and the villagers who usually lived in harmony did not have anyone willing to help him when he needed help, he lost his beloved, and his heart was broken, he just left the village for a few days, and he met a person who claimed to be a Taoist priest, claiming to help him and his wife renew the relationship, Niu Mancai ignited hope again, and the Taoist priest buried his wife with him, He made a clay statue with Lu Xiaoping's soil and Niu Mancai's blood, and asked him to make an offering of raw meat every day, and dig up his wife's bones after 7749 days, so that they could continue the frontier. Forty-nine days later, Niu Man came to his wife's grave and dug up the soil, and sure enough, his wife's original rotting and stinky corpse was full of blood, and it was more beautiful than before, she slowly opened her eyes, Niu Man took her back to the grass house where she lived, but he found that his wife's eyes were different from before, in fact, this is not a resurrection at all, But the person used witchcraft to fuse Niu Mancai's qi and blood with her bones, incarnated into a charm, although she is no longer the former Lu Xiaoping, but she still has the resentment in her heart before death, she wants revenge, revenge on those human beings who have no humanity, she seduces men with beauty, let the children in the belly suck their essence, when people die, she eats their souls, she wants everyone in the world to suffer...... It can be said that she is the first charm in the world, and the charm cultivated by future people is to find Lu Xiaoping first, and then extract resentment from her body, so the later charm can be said to be Lu Xiaoping's descendant, and naturally there is no charm as powerful as Lu Xiaoping's charm, she is the ancestor and leader of all charms in the world!
It has been a long time since Lu Xiaoping's story of turning ghosts into ghosts, and no one is able to confirm the truth of the matter, but I can't help but wonder if such a gentle and kind woman can be cruel and evil, but who is the person who caused her tragic fate? Is only Niu Mancai's brother a murderer? What about those who do not save her life and death when they see death? If Lu Xiaoping hadn't died at that time, would there still be a charm? What is the mentality of the person who turned her spell into a charm?
Liu Yu's master told me that later there were many masters who wanted to surpass Lu Xiaoping, but the more she hurt people, the more resentment gathered, and she was really helpless.
After Liu Yu's master finished telling us the story, suddenly the phone on the table rang......
