Chapter 40: Huang Xian (text)
There are no natural disasters in this village, no natural disasters and no natural disasters, and the dead are nothing more than two situations, natural death and illness death, and there are very few such bizarre ways to die.
First it was the matter of the second uncle Huang, and now it is the matter of the sixth son, and the villagers immediately guessed that there were unclean things in the village.
Liuzi's father and mother were the first to arrive, and at this time they were lying on Liuzi's body and crying, there were only a few people left in the village, if one or two old people died, it would be nothing, and if a young man died, the vitality of the village would drop by one-tenth, so not only Liuzi's father and mother, but also other villagers were also very sad.
Liuzi was obviously bitten to death by something, and when I saw Liuzi's face, what flashed in my mind was the faces of the three people I saw in that simulated city of vain, and the faces of those three people were also bitten like this.
"Was it bitten by a wild beast?" I said at the time.
The villagers nodded sadly, saying that they could see it, but they didn't know what it was biting, and if they couldn't catch it, what if they bit it again.
Meng Changqing is now a knowledgeable and talented person in Shen Fu's eyes, and the first thing he thought of something was to ask him what he thought, and Meng Changqing asked Shen Fu what he thought in order to avoid the suspicion of being a showman.
Shen Fu was still young, and he said whatever he thought, as soon as Meng Changqing asked him, he said: "The three corpses in the city of death in vain were also bitten in the face, I see that the two places were bitten by the same thing, and the city of death in vain was built by Uncle Huang with great effort, and this matter has nothing to do with him." โ
The villagers heard Shen Fu's words, and before Meng Changqing could express his opinion, they stepped forward and asked Shen Fu what he was biting, whether he could catch it, and if he could, he must peel it and cramp it.
Shen Fu calmed down the villagers' feelings first, and then looked at Liuzi and said: "Liuzi is also more than a meter tall, and if it is an animal, it must be a large animal, such as jackals, tigers and leopards. If it wasn't done by an animal, I suspect that it was done by the thing that lived in the body of Second Uncle Huang before, and only he is suspicious. โ
After Shen Fu finished speaking, Meng Changqing frowned, I know the reason for frowning, he told me before, leave a three-point line for words, talk about people when you see people, and talk nonsense when you see ghosts. Whether it is to people or ghosts, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you can't debunk everything inside and out, otherwise you will be avenged by ghosts.
Seeing Shen Fu tell the story, I thought to myself that his master must have only taught him Taoism, not these basic knowledge.
The villagers then asked Shen Fu what to do, and Shen Fu said that he would go to the dead city first to see if he could find any clues.
The ghosts on that road have been all taken away, and now they are very clear, and they haven't seen any crows on the pylorus in the past, and those crows have already flown in to eat the corpses, and they will stop outside because there are ghosts inside.
All the way to the so-called city of the dead, the corpses inside were already beginning to decompose, and there was a faint smell, but it was not very obvious.
The villagers told us that at the request of Uncle Huang, as long as someone died in the village, the corpse would be put in it, and over the years, no less than a dozen corpses had been put in.
The three bodies that were beginning to decompose had just been put in, and the three had died accidentally.
We walked in and looked at the faces of the three corpses, almost the same as the faces of the six sons, they were all bitten off, and the three corpses were more or less eaten except for the position of the faces.
When the villagers saw these three corpses that were roding, they all said angrily: "Dead people, the second master Huang said that he would first go to the temple gate and hang it for a while, and then throw it here." I thought it was really to lead the way, but it turned out that I had come to feed the beasts. โ
I was relieved to hear this, and when I was on the mountain, I saw three people hanging on the temple door, and it turned out to be these three people.
After watching here for a while, we left, and when we went back, Shen Fu said: "Judging from the teeth marks, it should be a weasel, but how can a weasel overturn a living person, I don't understand." โ
Speaking of the weasel, the villagers seemed to remember something, and immediately said: "Every time the ancient temple recites the scriptures, there will be a weasel there to listen, could it be the weasel?" โ
I was stunned for a moment, weasels can still listen to people chanting scriptures?
Shen Fu also felt strange when he heard it, saying that this weasel was very weird, maybe it was it who did it.
The villagers then brought back the bodies of the six sons, and also cleaned up all the corpses in the dead city and buried them in a place with a better view.
In the afternoon, we began to look for the weasel all over the mountains, but there was no news until the evening.
When night came, the people of the village went back to the enclosure and prepared to look for it again tomorrow morning, for fear of encountering something unclean or a wild beast at night.
The villagers all went to sleep, and Shen Fu proposed to guard outside, saying that he was afraid that the thing would enter the village at night to make trouble.
The people in the village were grateful to Shen Fu, and after thanking him for a while, they went in, Meng Changqing and I didn't sleep, but sat there and listened to the movement outside.
I asked Meng Changqing if he saw anything, and Meng Changqing said that he was not sure for the time being, and did not tell me anything specific.
I waited for a while and then fell asleep, and the whole village was left with Meng Changqing and Shen Fu still awake.
When I was in a daze, there was a sudden bang outside, which woke me up from my dream, and I got up and leaned on the window to see that Shen Fu had disappeared.
I asked Meng Changqing where he went, and Meng Changqing said that he went out to chase the weasel.
After saying that, he followed, and I chased out together, and Shen Fu concentrated on chasing the weasel in front, but he didn't find us.
The weasel traveled all the way north, stopped in front of the ancient Taoist temple, looked back twice, and rushed in.
Shen Fu also stopped and looked up a few times, and then chased in.
This temple is not big, and you can see the whole view from the door, and whatever they do inside is in our eyes.
After Shen Fu entered, he took out a compass from his backpack and fiddled with it, then took out a peachwood sword from his bag and went to a room on the left with a vigilant face.
Two minutes after entering, there was a burst of shouting, incantations, and, of course, the screams of weasels.
After another minute or two, the weasel rushed out of the door directly through the house, and after rushing out, he turned around and grinned at Shen Fu, all threatening, without the slightest fear.
Shen Fu then came out of the house, and his cheeks had been scratched by a weasel with a lot of blood, some wolf bรจi.
I don't understand, isn't it just a weasel, just hit to death with a stick, how can I still hurt myself.
I didn't understand it at first, but I understood it all when I watched it, Shen Fu kept chanting spells after he came out, but it didn't have any effect on the weasel, the weasel was very familiar with these spells, and every time he could find a way to crack it, sometimes, the weasel squeaked, but it would shake Shen Fu in place, and I would feel a little frightened when I heard it.
Shen Fu saw that the weasel grinned at him, and he also came to the real fire, scolded the bastard, and then rushed up and slashed at it.
This weasel is extremely flexible, Shen Fu's peachwood sword misses every time, and after a few chops, this weasel disappears into the grass in the courtyard.
"This weasel knows Taoism, this kid is not his opponent." After looking at it for a while, Meng Changqing said.
I stared at my eyes and felt incredible, even weasels can do Taoism, this world is still there?
As soon as Meng Changqing's words fell, the grass behind Shen Fu made a loud sound, and the weasel jumped directly on Shen Fu's back and bit it, Shen Fu cried out in pain and kept turning around, but he couldn't get rid of it.
At the bottom of my fire, I could see the flow of my soul, and now I saw Shen Fu's soul constantly being sucked by the weasel.
This is a Taoist soul collection technique, I didn't expect this weasel to be able to.
Shen Fu finally had no choice, so he took off his clothes and threw them directly to the side, and the weasel was also thrown out along with his clothes.
Shen Fu frowned and touched the wound on his back, he had already been bitten on his back, and now the blood was gushing.
After the weasel landed on the ground, it bared its teeth and roared at Shen Fu, and before Shen Fu could react, it jumped towards his face again.
Meng Changqing saw that Shen Fu couldn't dodge, so he threw the money sword out directly outside the door, and hit the weasel in the abdomen impartially, and the weasel was hit by the blow and slammed into the wall and screamed in pain.
Meng Changqing then walked in and stood in front of Shen Fu, Shen Fu saw Meng Changqing coming, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the money sword just now was thrown by Meng Changqing.
"I knew that you were not a simple character, big brother, and my soul almost stayed below when I walked in the woods that night, and then someone helped me buckle the copper bell and helped me drive away the ghosts that came to take my body, I guess you must have done it." Shen Fu said happily when he saw Meng Changqing coming.
Meng Changqing turned his head and smiled at him, asking him to rest first.
Shen Fu refused, saying that this weasel was too powerful, and he was afraid that Meng Changqing would not be able to handle it alone, so he would also come to help.
As the two spoke, the pain in the weasel had long since disappeared, and he was preparing for the next round of attacks.
I was anxious to see from the sidelines, Meng Changqing has always been a chronic person, when is this still chatting nonsense, I thought that he must let him get rid of this strange habit, if others had knives and guns, he would have hung up a long time ago.
The weasel jumped again and pounced on Meng Changqing, and when he arrived in front of Meng Changqing's eyes, Meng Changqing suddenly reached out and pinched the weasel's neck directly, and then threw it violently, the weasel hit the wall with a bang like a rolling stone, and even the scream was spared, and there was no movement directly.
Shen Fu was stunned for a moment, and exclaimed with a round mouth.
The weasel's head was broken, and he thought he must be dead, and when he was about to go up to take a look, a weasel-like spirit the size of a calf came out of the weasel's corpse.
"It's so big." I exclaimed, Shen Fu didn't expect it, and his face was a little shocked.
"This weasel eats human flesh and sucks people's souls, and their souls are naturally stronger than ordinary people." Meng Changqing said, then picked up the money sword and displayed it in front of him, staring at the weasel soul on the opposite side.
After a few seconds of confrontation, the weasel roared first, and Meng Changqing then recited the Soul Collecting Curse.
This weasel is collecting Meng Changqing's soul at this time, Meng Changqing is also collecting the soul of the weasel, this weasel has sucked the souls of many people, ordinary people are not his opponents at all, I was worried that Meng Changqing was not its opponent, this weasel suddenly stopped and turned around and ran outside the Taoist temple.
When Meng Changqing saw it, he threw the money sword in his hand again, and with a bang, he directly nailed the weasel to the wooden door, and then in less than half a minute, the weasel disappeared in a miserable scream, and the sound was extremely terrible, and it was estimated that it had been transmitted to the village.
Seeing that this weasel soul was collected, Shen Fu looked at Meng Changqing in surprise, and then said intermittently: "Big brother, you are too good at hiding, you are so powerful." โ
Shen Fu was indescribably shocked and respectful at this time, although he guessed that Meng Changqing knew Taoism, he didn't guess that Meng Changqing was so powerful.
Meng Changqing grinned, and then said that he took the two of us to travel here, and he was not prepared to make any extraneous branches, but seeing that Shen Fu was a good person, he helped him one after another.
Shen Fu worshipped Meng Changqing for a while and then got down to business.
"This weasel's Taoism was learned in this view, and there is another powerful thing in this view, if you don't find it, it will definitely make trouble."
Meng Changqing nodded and said that it was getting late now, and he would come and have a look when there was more yang energy at noon.
Shen replied to Meng Changqing, and when he returned, he deduced the beginning and end of the matter.
Their speculation is very consistent, it is this weasel who has listened to people chanting scriptures in this Taoist temple for many years, opened up his spiritual wisdom, and learned Taoism. After that, he stayed in the body of the second uncle Huang, and used the method of building a road to the underworld to deceive the souls and bodies of the dead people in the village. Until yesterday, Yin came to the village and took away all the ghosts, and it left the body of Second Uncle Huang when it had no soul to suck, and chose to attack Liuzi.
As for the person who recited the scriptures, he is still in the Taoist temple.
"Are weasels that smart?" I asked, puzzled.
Meng Changqing listened to it and said: "There is a folk saying that there are five immortals, the fox is the fox fairy, the weasel is the yellow fairy, the hedgehog is the white fairy, the snake is the willow fairy, and the mouse is the gray fairy. These five animals are the most spiritual animals, even you can learn Taoism, why can't it? โ
I glanced at Meng Changqing speechlessly, and then stopped talking to avoid the blow.
After that, Meng Changqing asked Shen Fu what he was doing here, Shen Fu didn't say much, just said that he was here to find a person named Meng Weiye.
