Chapter Ninety-Seven: Speculation
There are many legends about the Falling Flower Cave Girl, and many scholars are also studying them, saying that they have delusional disorder and fantasize that they will marry the cave god and live a carefree and happy life from now on. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
As for why you want to fantasize, it's probably because of the old society, Xiangxi was patriarchal, and the oppression of women was very strong, and women there didn't have enough power, and they had a very hard life all day, so they had this fantasy.
What can they do without eating or drinking for a few days, this is easy to understand, people's spiritual power is very strong, sometimes they fantasize that they will not be hungry, as long as this fantasy is stronger, just like people walking in the desert, they are too hungry and thirsty, but he still has an apple in his hand, if he doesn't eat this apple, he fantasizes that he still has a flat fruit, he can hold on for a long time.
This is the power of fantasy, and it is also the reason why the Falling Flower Cave Girl is difficult to explain, which may be the conclusion that scholars have come to the conclusion that in this materialistic society, all the theories of gods and ghosts are included in feudal superstition.
Ling Xian has been in Xiangxi for a while, and he has encountered a lot of corpse expulsion techniques and Gu techniques, but this is the first time he has heard of the Falling Flower Cave Girl today, and Wan Qianxi has a sad face as soon as she comes back, and it looks very problematic.
"The Falling Flower Cave Girl has naturally heard of it, but I still don't understand the specifics, so you can tell me in detail."
Ling Xian said lightly, Wan Qianxi nodded, and said: "Actually, on our side, there has always been a legend of the Falling Flower Cave Girl, but specifically, what the cave god is, I don't know, in fact, before that, it was all other villages, and it was rumored that the Falling Flower Cave Girl had never been in our village." ā
"But you also know that Xiangxi is connected, the customs and culture are the same, no matter which position out of the flower cave girl, basically the result is the same, today when I went to buy vegetables with the neighbors, I also heard by chance, saying that there is a family in the east of the village, the daughter of that family is called Xiaohua, it can be regarded as a flower in the village, the age is about the same age as me, it was originally good, I don't know why I ran up the mountain, her parents also looked for her for a long time, but she came back by herself, and when she came back, she said that she became a cave girl and wanted to marry the cave god."
Ling Xian said in surprise: "According to your customs, isn't it a good thing to become a cave girl?" You should celebrate, why do you look sad? ā
Wan Qianxi glanced at him and snorted: "That's, what kind of society is it now?" Everyone's life is still passable, who wants their daughter to marry the cave god? Marrying a cave god is tantamount to death, although on the surface it is a good thing, in reality no one wants to. ā
Ling Xian rolled his eyes and muttered, "According to what you say, it seems that the family is also unhappy, except for their daughter, is there no way?" Did the cave girl really die a few days later? ā
Wan Qianxi shook his head, and said regretfully: "There's no way, that cave god is so powerful, who dares to offend him?" ā
Ling Xian smiled: "Have you ever seen a cave god? How good is he? Can you call the wind and rain? ā
Wan Qianxi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, and he said: "Eh, it seems right that you say that, this cave god is a god at best, maybe it's not even a god, it's a demon and a monster?" Ling Xian, aren't you quite high? Are you interested in exploring the secret of the Falling Flower Cave Girl? ā
Ling Xian thought about it, and wanted to refuse, after all, his time was limited, and the cave god might be very difficult to provoke, just like the ghost train, it was better not to provoke, but if he left it alone, wouldn't he just watch a girl lose her young life?
"It's okay, let's go see the situation first, if you can't catch it, forget it, if you have the chance, you can still rescue her......"
Ling Xian groaned, but still nodded in agreement, Ling'er asked curiously, "Master, isn't the cave god a god?" Can we beat him? ā
Ling Xian smiled and said, "That's not necessarily, isn't the land god also a god?" However, in today's society, many land gods are not gods, but only powerful ghosts, evil ghosts have some ability, and if they want to play tricks on ordinary people, it is a simple thing, and when they meet a Taoist priest with ability, the land god must also be defeated. ā
"And the power of the gods is also strong and weak, the more powerful the gods in the big places, the more remote and narrow the place, the weaker the power, such as the Ten Palaces Yama, in charge of the Netherworld and Hell, the mana is leveraged, and the City God is relatively weak, and the land god is even weaker."
"You can understand that the Ten Palaces Yama is the governor, the city god is the mayor, and the land lord is the township chief, in other words, the cave god belongs to the gods of Xiangxi, and he has not been sealed, that is to say, he is not in the official service system of the gods, at most he is a miscellaneous god, if you want to talk about his strength, it may be a little weird, but it shouldn't be too powerful."
Ling Xian told in detail, Ling'er and they couldn't help nodding their heads, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you are so confident, there should be a way?" ā
Ling Xian touched his chin and said, "Well, you have to see the details to know, anyway, if you have a chance, we'll go on, and if you don't have a chance, we'll run." ā
Wan Qianxi nodded, walked out with Ling Xian and them, and then passed through several houses, and arrived at the door of the cave girl's house, there was no one outside their house at the moment, so Wan Qianxi took them to knock on the door.
After a while, a middle-aged woman came and knocked on the door, Wan Qianxi had some cigarettes and wine in her hand, and spoke to them in dialect, and the woman welcomed Ling Xian and them in, looking very enthusiastic.
Wan Qianxi whispered to Ling Xian: "I told her that we were here to congratulate, and brought a little congratulatory gift, this custom is like this, although they are reluctant in their hearts, but on the surface they still have to be festive, and to accept the blessings of others, if we come in with a bitter face, they will think that we don't understand etiquette." ā
Ling Xian couldn't stop nodding, anyway, this Xiangxi's habit is very different from their Lingdong, as long as there are thousands of joys to deal with everything, he is only responsible for dealing with the cave god.
Although this house is a mud house, it is quite new, and this kind of house also has its own advantages, not that the brick house is necessarily good.
When he arrived in the living room, Ling Xian found that there was a family of four, and there were two men sitting in the living room, a middle-aged man and a young man, according to Wan Qianxi's introduction, this middle-aged man was called Wan Wuli, his son was called Wan Su, his wife, just call her Aunt Wan, and a daughter, that is, the cave girl, called Wanhua.
After coming to the living room, Wan Qianxi chatted with them, Wan Wuli father and son were very enthusiastic about him, after all, they brought cigarettes and wine, you must know that a family like theirs, although they can usually drink some wine and smoke some cigarettes, but they are all inferior tobacco and alcohol, and Wan Qianxi buys good cigarettes and good wine, so they are naturally very enthusiastic about Wan Qianxi.
