Chapter 7: The Beginning and the End
Although the villagers of Changle Village have no quarrel with the world, it is mainly because of the geographical location of this village, not because of the simplicity of the folk customs here. www.biquge.info This village is located deep in the mountains and forests, and the transportation is extremely inconvenient, so there are very few people who come here and go out. Originally, this state was the same as a paradise. But over time, some villagers in the village began to want to go to the outside world, but where is the outside world so good, so the village was divided into two groups, one group of people insisted on going outside, these people were headed by the village chief, and the other group of people opposed to it, the conservatives led by Gao Jun. The people of these two factions were not convinced by each other, and each had its own argument.
However, I didn't expect that one day, the village chief secretly sent a few young people in the village outside, and at that time there was still a war. As a result, Changle Village was exposed in this way, and the bad thing is that Changle Village is isolated from the world, so it has not gone through war and some natural disasters, compared to the villages outside, Changle Village is a rich place. Because they were discovered, the people from the surrounding villages took the opportunity to come to Changle Village to plunder, because of the long years of comfortable life, the combat effectiveness of the villagers of Changle Village was not as good as that of other villages, so they could only passively accept the coercion of other villages.
In this way, after a long time, the village next to it saw that the villagers of Changle Village were particularly easy to bully, from the beginning of the robbery of food, food, to later began to rob the women of good families, rabbits were forced to bite people, Gao Jun combined the strong labor force in the village, wanted to resist, just when they were secretly training, but never thought that they were betrayed by the village chief, and soon, this team that has not yet become a climate was arrested by those people, and those who are crazy for their own safety, the coercion of the village chief, Let the confessions of those people all point to Gao Jun, and for those invaders, they only need a warning to kill chickens and monkeys. Qiao'er remembered for a long time that day, a group of people broke into her house, took Gao Jun away, and then, in the village temple, burned Gao Jun alive. The fire was so big that there was only a patch of red left in her eyes.
And all this is not over at all, killing Gao Jun is only a small part of their plan, and what follows is the nightmare of others.
At that time, Huzi was still young, and they lost the man in charge of the house, and the villagers regarded them like beasts of prey, and they were afraid to avoid them. And at this time, the village chief brought a man. From the moment she entered the door, Qiao'er recognized the man, the son of the richest village chief in the next village, and the most active person who was clamoring to kill Gao Jun.
"Qiao'er, the head of your family has also gone, I see that Huzi is still young, in this family, there is still a man!" The village chief's flattering words made Qiao'er disgusted to listen to.
"Get out of my house!"
"Qiao'er, don't you toast and don't eat and drink, I have a crush on you, whether you want it or not, I will condemn you." The son of the village chief, with a greasy face and a pair of obscene eyes kept rolling on Qiao'er's body, which made people can't help but have goosebumps.
"Roll" crazy Qiao'er, keep smashing the things around them at them. Die to shame.
"Hey, stinky, you wait for me" The two men ran out of Qiao'er's door with their heads in their hands, cursing outside.
During that time, Qiao'er thought about it more than once, and went with Gao Lang, but every time she saw Huzi, she was always very reluctant.
The village chief's son kept putting pressure on the village chief, and Qiao'er knew that there would always be such a day.
That day, I pushed them open, and the door was full of villagers who were kind and kind on weekdays, Aunt Li, who was always smiling, Brother Zhang, who was enthusiastic, and Aunt Wang, who was approachable next door.
"Qiao'er, you are from that prince, the people in our village thank you." Is this what Aunt Li said?
"Qiao'er, how good that prince is to you, your family is no longer there, the tiger is still young, you have to think about it for the two of you!" This is Sister Wang's voice!
"I see what a woman and a child know, so we'll tie her up directly." Brother Zhang is still the same bold. But the words that he confides are so unbearable.
Looking at these faces, mouths, how can the words that come out so disgusting.
"Hahaha, haha" Qiao'er who can't stop laughing, these people! These are the people! Gao Jun has told himself more than once that the villagers should be well protected!
"Gao Jun, have you seen it, your bones are not cold, and your wife is about to be sent to the enemy's bed by the villagers you protect, have you seen it?"
"Shut up, stinky bitch, come on, tie me up! , I tell you, you have to follow today, and you have to follow if you don't. When the village chief saw Qiao'er's appearance, he was so angry that he hurriedly commanded someone to plug Qiao'er's mouth.
Recalling this, Aunt Qiao was close to Gao Jun's side, and she couldn't help but tremble.
After a long silence, Xue was not a stupid person. I could only remain silent.
"Sir, no, Hades. Did you know that there is a hell on earth? Aunt Qiao suddenly chuckled, "A child waiting to be fed, a woman who is powerless, facing a pack of wolves, how do you think you can survive!" ”
"Huzi, you don't want it anymore, do you!" A child's cry came, and the village chief's hand was placed on the tiger's small neck, as if it only took one moment to save his life. Qiao'er gave up struggling.
The rain fell so hard that night, but Aunt Qiao still felt that the rain was not heavy enough, and the lewd laughter of the prince seemed to be still in her ears, as well as the flattering voice of the village chief, "Prince Wang, the people have been delivered, you can enjoy it slowly." "It's so dirty, why are you so dirty.
"Stinky girl, toast and don't eat and drink, let me tell you, you are the broken shoes that Lao Tzu is tired of" The prince lifted his pants and broke a mouthful of saliva. "Little girl, I have to watch you under my lord every day!"
Aunt Qiao who returned home was covered in scars. Looking at Gao Jun's mourning hall, he couldn't help but lie on the coffin and cry bitterly.
"Qiao'er, Qiao'er."
"Who, who, Gao Jun, is it you" Qiao'er, who was crying, suddenly heard Gao Jun's voice.
"Qiao'er, it's me, don't be afraid, it's me"
Qiao'er wiped away her tears and looked for the source of the voice, it was Gao Jun's voice, it was his. Qiao'er felt that she must have heard correctly.
The corpse in the coffin sat up silently, and the burned dry hand was slowly raised, Qiao'er looked at the scene in front of her, and was not touched at all, "Gao Jun, Gao Jun, is it you?" Qiao'er ran forward and hugged the corpse, which was already like black charcoal,
"It's me, it's me," the swarthy corpse slowly spat out the words.
"What's going on?" Facing this corpse, Qiao'er didn't have the slightest fear in her heart, this is her handsome, her husband.
"Today is the seventh day of my death, the night of my soul, just now, I was so excited that I re-entered my corpse," Gao Jun spat out a few words with difficulty, "I have seen everything, I'm sorry, Qiao'er." ”
"Why didn't you come back earlier, why," the biggest grievance in her heart was spread out in front of her beloved, Qiao'er couldn't help but feel a burst of grievances, why, why, what did she do wrong.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
That night, Gao Jun continued to comfort Qiao'er, and the seeds of hatred were deeply planted in the hearts of the two of them.
Qiao'er heard many old people once say that if a person dies, when he returns to the soul, he does not return to the underworld, stays in his corpse, and covers the breath of the dead with the breath of the living, he can deceive the ghost. So, they succeeded, and Gao Jun successfully stayed in the world.
However, if such evil spirits did not do evil, they would not be able to survive in the world with sufficient yang energy, and Xue was very curious about how they had survived until now.
Qiao'er always thought that as long as she could hide the ghost and let Gao Jun stay in the world, she didn't expect that the good times would not last long, and soon, Gao Jun's soul would become weak and could no longer enter her body, and it became transparent from time to time. Qiao'er was frightened and sought questions from Taoist monks everywhere, but basically nothing helped.
"And then?" Xue asked out loud.
"Later, one day, we met a female ghost, no, maybe not a female ghost" Qiao'er's eyes became confused.
Xue grabbed a word, female ghost? "What did you encounter?"
It was one night, when she and Gao Jun were ready to experiment with new methods. They saw the woman, who was dressed in purple, and in the darkness of the night, she didn't really see it.
"You are dead, and you are alive!" The woman's voice sounded crisp and pleasant, but it revealed Qiao'er's biggest secret in one word. made Qiao'er and Gao Jun get goosebumps.
"Who are you?" Gao Jun stopped Qiao'er behind him.
"You will be punished for doing this, you, sneaking into the world, becoming a demon, and you, a mortal, are delusional in trying to change the way of heaven!" The woman casually pointed at Gao Jun and said casually, "I'll help you!" ”
Qiao'er looked at the woman in front of her suspiciously, "Why do you want to help us?" ”
"Hehe, no why, just because I'm happy!" The woman's casual words were convincing, as if she was born like this. "He's going to disappear soon if he doesn't inhale the evil qi."
Looking at Gao Jun's already weakened soul, even though the woman in front of her didn't seem to be worth believing, Qiao'er still agreed, after all, it was best to let Gao Jun live in the world.
So the woman threw them a stone and taught them how to suck the spirits of the villagers so that they would not die, even though they would become like walking corpses.
Qiao'er and Gao Jun's first target was Wang Gongzi from the neighboring village.
Wang Gongzi died, specifically scared to death, with big eyes, a little black cat hair at the corner of his mouth, bruises all over his body seemed to have been whipped by someone, and the stiff corpse was lying on the street like that, and many people ran to see it that day, and Qiao'er just sat down on her own business as usual.
That beast was so frightened that he peed his pants last night, and Qiao'er thought it was funny when she remembered the frightened appearance of the prince. In fact, he only used to suck his soul, but that animal may have been a thief on weekdays, and when he saw Gao Jun, he was scared to death.
The people from the government came several times, but they didn't find any evidence, and they came and went, the prince was the only son of his own family, and the village chief who lost his only son was also crazy, and the once big family also withered.
As people suck more and more, Gao Jun gets less and less evil energy, and the strength to maintain himself in the world is getting weaker and weaker, and some counter-effects begin to appear, sometimes Gao Jun becomes brutal, and he becomes more and more unable to control himself, Huzi's soul is accidentally sucked when Gao Jun loses self-control, but the woman only taught them how to suck, but never taught them to spit out.
In order to allow Gao Jun to absorb more souls, Qiao'er and Gao Jun bewitched the village chief and asked him to leave some passing guests to get some souls.
Gao Jun, who has been a demon, has obtained these evil powers, and even the appearance of his soul has begun to return to his appearance as a human being. Until now.
Xue looked at the couple in front of him with pity, the way the demons did evil was not actually to suck the soul.
"Evil ghosts are a kind of ghosts with low mana, usually by doing evil to maintain their actions in the world, because they are possessed in their own corpses, so the way to do evil is the place where they were alive, to play pranks, or to get evil qi by frightening people."
"What?" Gao Jun looked at Xue incredulously, which meant ......
"That's right, sucking souls is not a way for evil spirits to get evil qi, that woman seems to want to raise you into a powerful ghost." Xue looked at Gao Jun lightly, "You have been sucking people's souls here for several years, but you can feel that from the beginning when your body was full of power to now, there is often a violent qi flowing in your body. There are more and more times when I can't control myself. ”
Qiao'er looked at Gao Jun, Gao Jun nodded with difficulty, "Sir, save him, save him!" Qiao'er pleaded.
"Save him, how to save him, haven't you forgotten that the person in front of you is dead!" Qiao'er is still obsessed. Xue sighed secretly.
"No, no, he's alive, he's been alive for more than ten years" Qiao'er sat on the ground in disbelief.
Idiot, there are only these two words in Xue's heart.
"No, why? Why! All of them are alive and well! Aren't you the king of Hades, aren't you a god? Aren't the gods administering justice? What are we doing wrong? Qiao'er roared. We just want to live well. “
Who in this world doesn't want to live well, but all this does not become an excuse for what they do, there is a way in the world, time and everything are from the way of heaven, and no one can escape.
"Gao Jun, Qiao'er, you can admit your mistakes!" Xue asked in a deep voice.
Gao Jun leaned down and kowtowed to Xue a few times.
"You are the king of Hades, you control the life and death of this world, you are high, and you do not know the suffering of the world. I am willing to go to the underworld with you to admit your mistakes, but I am responsible for doing things alone, I hope you can let Qiao'er go, all this is my responsibility. Gao Jun pleaded bitterly.
"Heaven is clear, everything has its own fixed number, Qiao'er's yang life is not over, she has her own life, what she did in the world, the underworld will be recorded, and when the soul returns to the underworld in the future, it will naturally be clear, and you, as a ghost, but you secretly stay in the world, suck the soul, and make mistakes, forgive you for not making a big mistake, let me go!" Xue tied the soul lock rope to Gao Jun.
All faults, although they may just be a kind of helplessness, but mistakes are mistakes, and everyone should abide by the right path in this world.
"By the way, I still have a stone on me that woman gave me." Gao Jun took out a purple stone, the size of the stone was the palm of half an adult's hand, emitting a faint purple light, Xue took it in his hand and rubbed it slowly. It seems that this woman must be extraordinary.
The souls inside the stone were stirring uneasily, and they were basically the lost souls of the villagers, although they were a little broken, but most of them were still intact.
"Gao Jun, go ahead!" Xue opened the door to the underworld and summoned his subordinates, "Escort this person to the reincarnation platform!" ”
Aunt Qiao looked at Xue's series of movements blankly, "Gao Jun, Gao Jun。。。。。 Muttered to himself.
"Aunt Qiao, this king asks you, that woman, can you see the face." Xue, who had restored the costume of the king of Hades, was full of majesty in the eyes of Aunt Qiao at this time, and she didn't dare to bump into him again.
"The woman taught us how to store the soul of the village name to keep Gao Jun moving, and then she disappeared, and we didn't see her face, and it was this stone that remained."
This stone, Xue carefully stroked, although it can store evil energy, but this stone does not seem to be a demonic thing, on the contrary, there is a faint leakage of a little immortal qi in it, but which immortal is willing to use this immortal thing to help this pair of lovers. Moreover, this little bit of immortal qi seems to be a little familiar.
Thinking of this, Xue put away the stone with his backhand.
"Aunt Qiao, all the past is gone with the smoke, you should also be relieved."
Xue looked at Aunt Qiao who was sitting on the ground with pity.
