Chapter 33: Meng Changqing (text)
Uncle Zhang said that he knew that his grandfather knew Taoism before, because his grandfather promised to teach him at that time, so he didn't tell him about it.
After that, it was the matter of the infant spirit, and the grandfather said that the infant spirit would harm him, so he helped him think of a way to graft the infant spirit into the belly of the cow, saying that if this is the case, the infant spirit will treat the cow as his parents, and then find the cow to take revenge, and then he will be spared.
The charms we saw in the house to ward off evil spirits were drawn by Uncle Zhang himself during that time.
With his grandfather helping him, he originally thought that this matter had been solved, but he didn't expect that the first thing he looked for when the baby spirit was born was him, and scared his soul out, and then his grandfather raised his corpse, he used Xiaoxiao in order to find out where his corpse was, but he didn't grasp the degree.
After Xiaoxiao's sleepwalking, his body was dug up, and he wanted to take possession of his body himself, but was stopped by his grandfather and chased him all the way here. He also said that his grandfather was very strange, and he didn't do anything to him when he saw him, but did everything possible not to let him stay in the walking corpse. It wasn't until it was raining that he saw an extremely terrible ghost living among the walking corpses, and then he was found and chased here.
Powerful ghosts are also a type of one of the hundred ghosts, including many ghosts, infant spirits, red-clothed ghosts are among them, and the ghosts are the most resentful of all the ghosts, so heavy that hell does not accept them, so they wander on the Yin Si Road all year round and wait for the enemy, or directly find the enemy to take revenge, and then they can be reincarnated, and the only way for them to eliminate their grievances is to get revenge. Taoism has always spread the idea of killing ghosts, suppressing ghosts but not killing ghosts, which is aimed at powerful ghosts.
We were very surprised when we heard this, and we were also very puzzled, and we didn't understand why Grandpa did everything possible to get the corpse out and let that ghost stay in it.
After that, Meng Changqing asked about the urn and the second grandmother leaving the country, and Uncle Zhang said that he didn't know about it, and he had already said everything he knew.
He also added, he said that the second grandmother knew about his grandfather's Taoism.
My head was numb after listening to this, and Meng Changqing also sorted it out for a few times before saying: "Your grandfather did everything possible to turn his master into a ghost, and he did everything possible to get a walking corpse for the ghost to live in, I seem to know what he is going to do." β
"What does Grandpa want to do?" I asked hurriedly.
Meng Changqing then glanced at me and Xiaoxiao and asked, "If I die one day, what will you do?" β
I thought about it for a while before I said uncertainly, "Bury you?" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Changqing laughed, and only stopped for a while before looking at me with a weird smile on his face and saying, "I found that you are becoming more and more filial." β
I smiled, took two steps back and avoided Meng Changqing's raised hand, and after his hand fell into the air, he said: "Taoism's theory of changing lives, changing lives, and replacing lives has a premise, that is, people are still alive in the world. It would be easy to understand that your grandfather did all these things in order to allow his master to survive in another state - he wanted to resurrect his master! β
"Can it be done?"
"No, otherwise why would your grandfather have waited so many years, maybe he hasn't taken the second step yet. However, your grandfather did this, can his master understand? His master has now completely become a ghost, and all he wants is to find your grandfather to vent his grievances over the years. β
I also felt worried when I heard it, my grandfather's image that was gradually declining became tall again, but he killed Uncle Zhang, I think it's a bit cruel.
After Uncle Zhang finished talking about these things, Meng Changqing asked him a lot of questions, and he answered everything he knew one by one, and after answering, Meng Changqing said to him: "Your life was originally stopped in the year of the explosion of the coal mine, because your ancestor was buried well, you escaped, even if his old man did not harm you, you would die at that time, but in a different way of death." If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me and I will help you fulfill them. You are already dead, and it is not proper to stay in the world again, from here there used to be a city god temple, where there is a yin cha who is collecting ghosts, you go to him, let him take you to reincarnation, if you miss this opportunity, you will be regarded as a wandering ghost, and then it will not be good for people with good things to trouble you. β
Uncle Zhang thought for a long time after hearing this, and finally said: "I have only one regret in my life, that is, I have never been able to have a son. β
Meng Changqing showed an embarrassed look after hearing this, and finally said helplessly that he would burn ten or eight boys and girls for him on the Qingming Festival.
Uncle Zhang left satisfied, and finally revealed a lot of mysteries this time, and now the unsolved question is, why did the second grandmother leave the country? What's going on with grandma's urn? Who wants to harm me and Xiaoxiao?
Uncle Zhang then sued Meng Changqing, saying that when Meng Changqing gave him the bracelet at that time, he knew that there was a ghost in it, but he thought that he had done nothing wrong at that time, so he did not break Meng Changqing.
Meng Changqing smiled awkwardly after hearing this, Uncle Zhang then left here, went to the City God Temple, and turned back halfway to tell us that our grandfather had returned to Snake Head Village, and he came here just to let the walking corpse meet his master's ghost.
Because the name Meng Weiye was mentioned during the conversation, the old man sighed after hearing it, and his thoughts kept running.
"What kind of person do you mean this Meng Weiye is?" The old man's head was no longer bright, and he asked after a long time.
Meng Changqing told the old man that Meng Weiye was a Taoist priest, and now he has become a powerful ghost.
After hearing this, the old man muttered in disbelief, "Will the bag become a ghost?" β
Listening to the old man's tone, he seemed to know Meng Weiye, Meng Changqing was an expert in observing words and feelings, and immediately asked the old man if he knew Meng Weiye after seeing it.
The old man nodded yes, he said that he learned these skills from Meng Weiye, he was only twenty years old at the time, Meng Weiye took a boy and a girl to this village in order to avoid something, because the terrain of this village is hidden, so they built a mud house here to live.
The old man ran to Meng Weiye's house every day during that time, and when Meng Weiye was teaching the girl and the boy, he learned these things on the side.
Meng Weiye lived here for nearly two months, and then moved out suddenly, and never came back after that, the old man said that his hairpin was given to him by Meng Weiye, and the book "Walking Horses in the Water" is also.
"What's the name of those two people around him?" I asked the old man.
The old man shook his head and said that he couldn't make it very clear, but he remembered that one surnamed Ye and the other surnamed Mu were locals, and the surname Mu and Meng Weiye were foreigners, and they didn't speak with the same accent.
He said that his surname was Mu, and I only thought of the second grandmother alone, plus the fact that Uncle Zhang said earlier that the second grandmother knew that grandpa knew Taoism, I could almost conclude that the girl he said was the second grandmother.
After the old man said the surnames of the two people with Meng Weiye, he remembered something, and hurriedly turned his head to Meng Changqing and said: "When you came, I thought you were quite familiar, Leng didn't remember who it was, you just reminded me like this, I remembered that you look quite similar to Master Meng Weiye, you seem to be Meng, right?" Your accent is quite similar to him, are you relatives? β
"That's his grandfather." After the old man asked, I replied. Now it is basically certain that person is Meng Changqing's grandfather, but Meng Changqing has never called Meng Weiye his grandfather, and he is a little cold to his grandfather.
Meng Changqing bowed his head and reprimanded me, saying that I had a lot to say. The old man then glared at the three of us in disbelief, and then asked, "These two dolls are also quite similar to the two dolls next to him, are they also related?" β
I listened and replied: "The surname Ye is my grandfather, and the surname Mu is her grandmother." β
The old man was completely stunned this time, and after I finished speaking, there were two people by Meng Weiye's side, one was my grandfather, and the other was Xiaoxiao's grandmother. Now Meng Weiye's grandson has two more people with him, one is me and the other is Xiaoxiao.
At that time, I didn't know what fate was, but it felt amazing.
The old man thought for a while and said, "Your three families have been passed down from generation to generation, right? It looks like the three of you have arrived at that time. β
We didn't know Meng Changqing at all before we met, but now I didn't expect that we already had a relationship in our ancestors, and if it were me, I would also think that it was passed down from generation to generation.
The old man sighed here that time was fleeting and walked back to the house, the sky was already gray at this time, and it had just rained, and the road was extremely bumpy, Meng Changqing was afraid that the two of us would fall, so he pulled one with one hand.
On the way, I asked Meng Changqing about his grandfather, and Meng Changqing said that his father left home when he was only a teenager, and he had never seen his grandfather at all.
I asked him why his grandfather wanted to leave, and Meng Changqing paused for a while before saying, "It's probably because I have been against the ghosts too much, and I am afraid that the ghosts will retaliate against the family before leaving home." β
Meng Changqing knew very little about his grandfather, and some of the questions I asked him were all guessed answers, and he knew that his grandfather had never come back since he left home.
After I finished asking questions, Xiaoxiao started asking questions again, and the questions she asked were all relatively naΓ―ve, such as how Meng Changqing and I met, and what the Taoist temple was like.
Although my questions are more serious, Meng Changqing always brings them in a few words when he answers. Xiaoxiao's questions are so naΓ―ve and boring, but Meng Changqing can always laugh and talk a lot.
I was disdainful of Xiaoxiao's other questions, but there was one question she still asked very well.
She asked Meng Changqing why he wanted to become a Taoist priest.
Meng Changqing stopped laughing when he answered this question, and said: "When you were young, I was covered by dirty things every day, and I lost my soul twice in three days, and then a woman came to my house and said that I only need to be a Taoist priest to live, so I went to be a Taoist priest." β
