Chapter 82: The Hanged Ghost (text)
Without mentioning this, it is difficult to think that the person who did this is the purpose, but when it is mentioned, it is easy to explain. After all, people are terrible, Zhao Sansan is afraid that he has now carried the reputation of killing his mother, and I also have the reputation of being a ghost, and that person probably wants to make our reputation stink, so that we can leave this village quickly.
But since that person wants us to leave this village as soon as possible, doesn't it just mean that there is something that the village doesn't want us to know.
I can think of it, and Meng Changqing can naturally think of it.
But there are also things I didn't expect, Meng Changqing thought of it.
After coming out of the child's house, when I was halfway to Zhao Sansan's house, I mentioned Meng Changqing's grandmother, that is, the young woman.
When I said that I had to find him, Meng Changqing said: "She was not taken captive to this place at all, since it took two dragon veins and the entire village to suppress her, how could she be taken away without a sound." Your grandfather must have just wanted to help us get here and see something. ā
"See what?" I asked.
"Most of them want us to see some things about your second grandmother, as for the one who has been trying to force us out of this village, your second grandmother is the most suspicious." Meng Changqing replied lightly.
Meng Changqing's words are really enlightening, no wonder Meng Changqing is not in a hurry to find his grandmother when he comes here, he has long known that his grandmother is not here.
However, what did Grandpa want us to know when he asked us to come here?
I asked Meng Changqing this question, and Meng Changqing shrugged and said, "It's a question, there will always be an answer." ā
After saying these words to me, he asked Zhao Sansan to take him around the village to see if he could find some traces of the second grandmother.
Zhao Sansan was haunted by his own three souls just now, if it weren't for the old Taoist, he would have completely become a different person by now, just like my body after going to hell.
However, Zhao Sansan's heart was wide and fat, and he didn't mention this matter anymore after dwelling on this matter, but he was unhappy that the child detained his mother's soul.
The child's peach box is now in my hand, when Zhao Sansan took Meng Changqing out for a walk, let me go back to the house to let his old lady return to his soul, his old lady has not lived for a few more years.
I answered him, and when I went back to Zhao Sansan's house, only his father was alone in front of the mourning hall, Ye Weiting had already slept, and Xiaoxiao had also fallen asleep on the simple bed outside the house.
She was a big girl sleeping outside, so I hugged her next to Ye Weiting and put her, and then went to the mourning hall and said to Zhao Sansan's father: "Grandpa, you always take a handful of sandalwood to guard the door for a while, and if you feel that there is a sound outside, you will throw a stick of incense out." ā
Zhao Sansan's father is too old now, like the walking dead, he just nodded when I said anything, and said, "She's dead, don't toss her too much." After saying that, he took a stick of incense and went to the door and stood.
I glanced at his back and thought to myself, it was really pitiful, he looked like a man in his nineties.
His wife hasn't been dead for a long time, and now her soul is still there, and it's quite simple to return her soul, just recite the soul gathering spell, pinch the well and put her into her body.
But when the incantation is recited, it usually alarms the lonely ghosts around it, and at that time, they will come to snatch the corpse.
Rural people usually beat gongs and drums during vigils, the purpose of which is to drive away the lonely ghosts who come to snatch the corpses. So there are dead people in the countryside, and the more people who keep vigil, the more auspicious it is.
The process of resurrecting the soul began, and Zhao Sansan's father couldn't see the soul, so he didn't see Zhao Sansan's mother being detained by me and going to the coffin, but just throwing sandalwood numbly outside.
When the soul is finished, I went out to help him in, and the soul of Zhao Sansan Niang returned to the body, and there is still a period of fusion, and the body cannot be moved at this time, otherwise the soul will be brought out again.
After that, I helped the old man in, and he was supposed to let him go to sleep, but he insisted on guarding the mourning hall, and when I saw it, I said, "She will wake up tomorrow morning." ā
The old man didn't believe me, and said, "The third child drove all the people in the village away, and she dared to walk at night when no one kept vigil." ā
I couldn't resist him, so I could only let him go, and I just didn't feel sleepy at this time, so I told the old man to be careful, and then went out to find Meng Changqing and them.
This village is more prosperous than Shetou Village, and it is said that it is more prosperous, but in fact it is more backward, because most of the people in this village still live in the countryside and have not moved to the city.
There is no coal burning in the village, and wood is usually used for fire, so when you go out, you can see the piles of firewood in front of each house.
A total of about ten households walked, and each household was no exception, with firewood piles piled in all directions.
After walking a few households, I heard the voices of Meng Changqing and Zhao Sansan, so I looked for the sound, and just after the corner of the firewood, a woman with a cloak suddenly came out from the other side of the woodpile and hit me directly.
I hurriedly said sorry first, but the woman hurried away without even a reaction.
I saw that there was something wrong with her dress and vibe, so I called her.
When I shouted, she ran faster.
Seeing her running fast, I thought that this must be a ghost, even if it is not a ghost, there is a ghost in my heart, so I hurriedly chased after the wood, and ran for a while before stopping her.
After stopping her, the woman panted and said to me, "What are you doing with me, you scared me to death just now." Is Zhao Laosan in the house? His father ran away from the tomb. ā
The old man was still at home when I left just now, and now it's not much older, so it's an old man, I haven't walked much older, can he be as fast as me?
Thinking that there must be something wrong with this woman, he asked her, "How do you know that he has gone to the tomb on this big night?" ā
Sure enough, as soon as I said this, the woman's face changed suddenly, her face was quite ruddy, but now it was like pounced on white noodles, her tongue was also stretched out more than ten centimeters long, and her neck was stretched high, and she knew that she was a hanged ghost at a glance.
As soon as she was present, she reached out and wanted to pinch me. I blew directly on her face, and the soul on her face was immediately partially blown away by me, leaned back, sat on the ground with her ass, and then got up and ran to the mountains.
After she ran away, I went to the place where I heard the voices of Meng Changqing and Zhao Sansan just now to look for them, and when I went, they happened to come out of the farmer's house and greeted me when they saw me.
I stepped forward and said, "Your wife has already returned to her soul, and she will probably wake up tomorrow." ā
Zhao Sansan hummed, I then thought about what the woman said just now, and thought that even if it was a ghost, it would not be groundless, so I told Meng Changqing about it.
After hearing this, Meng Changqing asked yƬ to go to the cemetery to take a look, in case what the hanged ghost said was true, it would be bad, or if I gave Zhao Sansan's mother a soul, I invited a lonely soul and a wild ghost and didn't leave, and when I left, I attacked Zhao Sansan's father.
This tomb is on the left side of the village, not very far, we didn't find anyone in the past, but in the middle part of the tomb, found some new mud, Meng Changqing bent down and twisted the soil a few times, and then said: "The tombstone was taken away, what happened just now." ā
I was taken aback when I heard this, and immediately thought of what the female ghost said just now about Zhao Sansan's father coming to the cemetery, and this tombstone must have been taken away by him.
After looking at the grave here, Zhao Sansan said: "You guys are watching here, I'll go home and see, don't have an accident with my father." ā
After Zhao Sansan finished speaking, he left, and Meng Changqing then placed a lot of copper coins around the tomb.
In the gossip, three copper coins were placed in the kun position, the kan position, and the exchange position. The nine copper coins were then connected with red rope.
After finishing the arrangement, Meng Changqing took out the money sword and marked the ground in front of the tomb with the words 'Ordered to be crushed by the general of the day tour', and after writing it, he read the Qidu text, and then looked directly at the copper coin and said: "If it is a walking corpse, the money on the ground will be informed; If it is a ghost, the money on the water informs; If it is a corpse, Ze Shang will tell me in money. ā
Kun is the earth, Kan is the water, and the exchange is Ze, Meng Changqing told me these basic things.
After Meng Changqing finished speaking, he recited the Xuanyun mantra, then pointed to the grave and shouted an edict, and the money exchanged suddenly stood up.
After standing for about two or three seconds, he fell down again.
If you stand up for money, it means that it is a normal corpse.
Before he could collect the money, Zhao Sansan shouted on the side: "My dad has an accident." ā
We were shocked when we heard this, hurriedly put down the work in hand, and followed Zhao Sansan back to the house, on the way to ask him what was going on, Zhao Sansan said: "I went back to the house just now to take a look, and my father has hanged himself." ā
Zhao Sansan didn't know more about the situation, but told us what he saw, when we went back to the house, his father was still hanging in front of his mother's coffin, and his muscles were incontinent due to the loss of control and incontinence, and there was a smell of excrement in the house.
Zhao Sansan stepped forward to take down his father and put it in the hall, stared at his father for a while before he smiled bitterly: "I just came back, you two are in a hurry to travel west, so you don't want to see me." ā
This fat man has no heart and no lungs, but at this moment, it can be seen that he is really sad.
His father's body has been destroyed and can no longer be used by the soul to live in, and even if the spirit comes back, it will not be able to return the soul either, so we can only watch from the sidelines.
Xiaoxiao and Ye Weiting had already gotten up, and they felt very uncomfortable when they saw the scene in the room.
But Meng Changqing stepped forward and said: "The old man seems to be fascinated by a ghost, so he will choose to hang himself." ā
I listened and asked, "Why do you say that?" ā
I thought that the old man would only commit suicide because his wife died and was too sad, but his wife would be able to return to the sun tomorrow morning, but the old man committed suicide tonight.
"Remember the hanged man you met at night? Hanged ghosts can't be reincarnated until they find a stand-in, they usually come out to wander, they are looking for a substitute ghost, maybe they just saw the old man in the tomb is not in good spirits, so they came to confuse the old man and let the old man hang himself. ā
