Section 007 The Ghost World
I was afraid that last night's experience would scare her, so I reluctantly smiled and said, "What can I do, cook for people all day long." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Has anything come in the house lately...... What stranger? ”
"No! By the way, I have a colleague who didn't get a train ticket this year and can't go home, so I'm staying here for a few days. ”
"Oh, don't be slow to your colleagues. I'll bring some extra food in the evening. ”
"Okay!"
"Xiaozheng, you really haven't encountered anything unusual recently?"
Actually, I wanted to tell her what happened last night as early as the first time she asked, but my aunt was old and I was afraid of scaring her, so I didn't say anything.
Now she asked again and again, apparently aware of something.
I remembered that my aunt and grandmother had made a cameo appearance as an onmyoji when they were young, and I might have any constructive comments about last night's events, so I said it.
After hearing this, my aunt did not show surprise, but asked lightly: "Do you know the legend of Hushan Niangniang?" ”
I shook my head.
She sighed and told an old story.
Legend has it that Hushan Niangniang was originally a mulberry picking lady with the surname Ni. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains, and the Jin Wushu learned that Zhao Gou, the well-off king of the Song Dynasty, had fled to the south of the Yangtze River, and personally led his troops to chase after him. On the third day of the first month of March, it was Qingming, and the well-off king fled to Hushan in the northern suburbs of Hangzhou alone, hungry and lacking, with nowhere to hide, and was hidden in the mulberry leaf basket by the lady in Tsing Yi who was picking mulberry leaves in the mulberry forest, escaping the pursuit. But Ni Niangzi was killed by Jin Bing in order not to reveal the whereabouts of King Xiaokang. The well-off king thanked her for her kindness, and posthumously named her a concubine after ascending the throne in Hangzhou, and built a Niangniang temple on Hushan, calling her "Hushan Niangniang".
Later, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and the Mongol soldiers went south to Hangzhou to wreak havoc. As a result, in the middle of the night, you can always see a lone Mongolian soldier being bitten to death by a black cat with very strange eyes. The Mongols searched with all their might, but found nothing. Because the black cat lives in the back mountain of the Niangniang Temple all the year round, some people say that Ni Niangniang was reincarnated as a black cat to protect the villagers of Hushan, so she is also called Hushan Niangniang.
After hearing this story, I was stunned and said, "According to your meaning, the black cat is not an evil thing?" ”
My aunt said: "It's not just an evil thing, Hushan Niangniang is a god, and she has always blessed our Hushan Village." ”
"Then why did she scare me in the middle of the night? I didn't do anything bad! ”
My aunt seemed to remember something, and asked, "By the way, you said that you waved your stick last night and she left?" ”
"yes!"
"What about the sticks? Show me. ”
I took the stick from the bedroom, and my aunt looked at it and shouted, "Isn't this the lightning strike wood of the golden phoenix?" It's hard for you to keep it! ”
I was amazed.
The so-called lightning strike wood refers to trees such as jujubes, peaches, willows, and poplars that have been struck by lightning on rainy days.
The process of selecting lightning strike wood is very strict, and if the tree is still alive, the part that has been split can be called lightning strike wood. If the tree dies after being split, the part of the split cannot be returned to the lightning strike wood.
The reason why lightning striking wood can ward off evil spirits mainly depends on the effect of thunder and lightning, but once the tree is killed by lightning, it means that the wood cannot store lightning energy.
Don't look at it inconspicuous, according to my aunt and grandmother, the lightning strike wood I have in hand is handed down by Sanmao Zhenjun in the Han Dynasty, and the heirs of the past generations have been using the thunder and lightning to nourish it on rainy days, and the energy contained in its body is enough to make all the evil demons in the world scatter. It's just that I'm still shallow, and I can only exert a little bit of fur power.
I was skeptical, and I plan to find a buddy in the cultural relics store to identify it after the year, if it is really from the Han Dynasty, it will be worth a lot! Even if you can't subdue demons, you can wear it on your body and pretend to be something.
When my aunt saw my look of surprise, she said, "Xiaozheng, didn't you worship Old Tang as a teacher when you were a child?" This old fellow has a true way, and if you come across something strange, you can ask him. ”
I smiled bitterly: "My master has always been a dragon who has never seen the end, and I don't know where to go to live happily in the past few years, and there has been no news of it for two or three years." ”
"Try calling his phone?"
"Yes, it was shut down a few years ago."
My aunt was speechless, so she had to say, "Okay, then you should be careful." ”
I smiled and said, "Although my current Taoism can't be compared with Master, it's still no problem to deal with some ordinary evil things, so don't worry." ”
After my aunt and grandmother left, I recalled the scene when the master fought against the ghost king of scattered wealth, and my spine was cold.
Could it be that the black cat was sent by the Fortune Scattering Ghost King?
Meow - Meow -
I subconsciously turned around, and a hideous black shadow swooped down on me.
Bang!
Lightning struck wood on a hard skull, followed by a familiar scream.
"! What are you hitting me for! ”
The living room was not well lit, and the curtains in the bedroom and balcony were closed, and I took a closer look before I saw that it was Zhao Wei.
I saw him covering his head and looking pained, and I was very sorry in my heart, and quickly apologized, but I muttered in my heart.
The black shadow that rushed towards me just now obviously condensed an evil aura......
I frowned and said, "Zhao Wei, I didn't see you early in the morning, where did you go?" ”
Zhao Wei was stunned, "I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I went out by myself." ”
"The door is locked, how did you get in? You don't have a key. ”
"The door is unlocked! I wanted to knock on the door, but it opened with a single touch. ”
Didn't I lock the door when my aunt and grandmother left just now?
"Then why did you pounce on me like a hungry wolf?"
"No? You're not a beauty, what am I doing with you......"
"Then you ......"
Before I finished speaking, Zhao Wei's face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice as if he remembered something terrifying: "Brother, do you want to ask me why I ran so fast just now?"
"Hmm."
Zhao Wei pointed to the open security door behind him, and there was the ghostly black cat crawling outside the door.
I tightened the lightning strike wood in my hand and walked towards it step by step.
Meow!
The black cat leapt from the ground, and I lifted the lightning strike wood.
I saw it miraculously avoid the stick in mid-air and leap behind me.
This cat isn't there to deal with me?
We turned around suddenly, only to see the black cat's entire body lying on Zhao Wei's face in a gimgergy posture.
But I couldn't laugh.
Yes!
Zhao Wei screamed.
The black cat's paws seemed to scratch his face a few times, and then threw it on a nearby wall.
Its vigor was beyond my imagination, and its four legs kicked on the wall, landing steadily like a martial arts master.
At this time, I had no time to care about the black cat, so I just stared at Zhao Wei.
"Brother, what do you see I'm doing, catch the black cat!"
I nodded, stepped forward, and slammed a stick on Zhao Wei.
Zhao Wei dodged in a flash.
"Li Zheng! Are you crazy? Zhao Wei shouted.
I looked at him coldly: "Zhao Wei, did you look in the mirror before going out today?" ”
Zhao Wei was stunned, "What do you mean?" ”
I took off a small round mirror from the wall behind me and pointed it at him.
Zhao Wei looked at it intently, and suddenly let out a miserable shout.
It was a rotten face, a mutilated head, and its skin was pale and bloodless, tinging a terrible blue.
"No...... It's not me! Not me! ”
Zhao Wei roared.
I felt a pain in my heart and said gloomily: "You are dead, you should no longer be in the world." ”
"Dead? How could I have died! ”
"Do you still feel alive?"
"I ......"
"Remember how you died?"
"How did I die...... How did I die...... I ......" Zhao Wei muttered to himself, and suddenly squatted down in pain with his mutilated head in his arms, red brains and blood staining his hands.
I know that this is the process that every soul that dies in vain must go through, and that the yang energy of the world will destroy their feminine spirits, making them sometimes sober and sometimes confused in their torment. As a result, many souls wander aimlessly, gradually losing themselves until they are completely gone.
The only way to crack it is to let them wake up on their own, and then enter the underworld to go to the six realms of reincarnation.
Zhao Wei's head didn't seem to hurt anymore, he got up suddenly, and stared at me with a pair of eyeballs that were about to fall out of his sockets, "I remember, I was in a car accident on the way to buy a ticket." It all came so suddenly, I don't know why, I only remember it now. Yes, I'm dead, I'm dead......" As he spoke, two lines of blood and tears fell.
"Then why come back? If you stay in the world for too long, you will not be able to give birth. ”
"I ...... I don't know why, but I just walked and walked to get here. Brother, you are a good person and have been taking care of me. I didn't come back to hurt you. I was just...... I don't know why I'm coming to you. ”
I looked at his blank look, my heart moved, and I asked, "Is there any unfulfilled wish?" ”
"Wish? Yes, it seems that there is something you want to do, but what is the nearest thing? Why can't I remember......"
I sighed, "Is it your girlfriend's business?" ”
Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to remember something, "Yes, it's Xiaoli!" I have something for her! Brother, can you help me with this? ”
