Chapter 10: Something Goes Wrong
Niang looked at Jiang Li in surprise, not quite understanding, Jiang Li continued to tell my mother, "Its yin qi is too heavy because you breastfeed it, it is now a yin and yang constitution, if it continues, your corpse qi will drain into its body and become a pure yin constitution, then it will be the same as a ghost baby." ”
The mother lowered her head and put down the baby in her arms, and said softly, "Thank you, Master Jiang Li." ”
I poked my head out behind Jiang Li and looked at my mother, and when I saw my mother turn around and prepare to leave, I couldn't help but shout, "Mother-"
My mother was stunned for a while, turned around and looked at me blankly, I rushed out from behind Jiang Li, and hugged my mother without thinking too much, whether she is dead or alive, she is my mother, I firmly believe that she will not harm me.
My mother trembled and reached out and patted my back, and whispered in my ear, "Remember my mother's words, run." ”
Jiang Li wanted to ask why her mother asked me to run, but my mother didn't seem to want to say it, so she stopped talking and finally slipped into the woods.
The people who were guarding the spirit outside had already blown up, and the third watch woke up the nearby villagers in the middle of the night, as long as the villagers not far from my house put on their coats and came to join in the fun, and came to see my house as if they were strange.
Someone asked my grandmother directly, "Xiao Wazi can't bear your wife, and come back to steal people?" The grandmother, who was so angry at this, stamped her feet, took a wooden broom, and hit people.
Jiang Li saw that the situation outside was not very good, so he hurriedly walked out and told the villagers, "Karma, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't say what you shouldn't say, the cycle of karma is on your body, and it's difficult to do." ”
When the villagers heard Jiang Li say this, they all honestly shut up, everyone thought that Jiang Li's words were highly credible, after all, he was also a Taoist priest in the temple, and he was still very in awe in his heart, so Jiang Li's words could withstand many things.
After the villagers dispersed, the grandmother cried alone in the room, crying and complaining, "Dead old man, you have to give me the whole thing when you die, where will you put our Chen family's face in the future, all this is your own sin!" ”
I looked at my grandmother distressedly, but I didn't know how to comfort her, so I tugged at the corner of my clothes tightly, lowered my head and cried in a muffled voice.
Jiang Li touched my head, "You will suffer because your cultivation is not enough, if you want to get rid of the pain, you must make yourself strong." I quickly wiped my tears again and nodded.
During the day, there were always villagers who came to our house, saying that they were to see our grandfather and comfort us, but in fact, they were just to see the strange, and then they turned around and went to give their seven aunts and six mothers-in-law long tongues. Grandma first politely let them in, and then angered grandma and kicked out all the people who wanted to enter the door.
As soon as there was a knock on the door, grandma didn't give a good face, "Don't knock, where should I go back, don't come to me to be a long-tongued woman!" ”
"Big sister open the door, it's me!" This is the voice of the grandfather, before Jiang Li arranged for the grandfather to investigate the identity of the man who married his mother, and went to their village.
Grandma got up and went to open the door to let my grandfather in, my grandfather trembled when he heard the news of my grandfather's death, and cried in front of my grandfather's mourning hall.
Grandpa was sad for a long time before he came to his senses. Jiang Li asked me to pour a cup of hot tea for my grandfather and crush him.
After Jiang Li and his grandfather talked in my room, before Jiang Li asked his grandfather to go to the village of the man to investigate his identity, and his grandfather told Jiang Li that the man's name was Du Hai, and things were really strange. The main reason is that grandpa is not in good health, and he can't walk for too long, so he has to come back after staying for a day.
When he went to the village, he found that something was wrong, there was no one in the village, it was said that there were many people in the past, but now I don't know why there are fewer and fewer people, and there are only six or seven families in the whole village, but he accidentally found that Zhang Duangong had lived in their village before, and then moved to the next village.
What's more coincidental is that there is a family between Du Hai's house and the house where Zhang Duangong used to live, and later he went to the mouth of the middle family to ask, Du Hai was brought up by Zhang Duangong when he was a child, and later the man's parents came back from work, so he was sent back again. However, it has been haunted these days, and the place where Zhang Duangong used to live is always an empty house, but there are always strange sounds these days.
Jiang Li nodded in contemplation after hearing this, turned his head sideways and told me, "It seems that I still have to go there in person, Chen Xiao, you follow me all the way." ”
I told Jiang Li that the dead people in our place would have to keep a vigil for seven days, and I couldn't leave. Jiang Li told me that the guilt of my grandfather's death would not force me to keep my spirit, and this spirit could not be kept.
Jiang Li wanted to take me to the village next to me, but my grandmother naturally disagreed when she found out, and she was noisy and noisy with Jiang Li. Jiang Li just politely said to his grandmother, "There are some things that the old man told me not to say when he was dying." "Grandma listened to it for some reason, suddenly stopped talking, and even relented and agreed to let me leave with Jiang.
After hearing this and seeing grandma's expression next to him, Dad directly smashed the bowl and kicked the stool angrily, and cried with a sullen head. Jiang Li saw that the atmosphere at home was wrong, so he asked me to go out with Jiang Li.
When I came to the next village, it was indeed as quiet as my grandfather said, and I didn't see a few families. It happened that he met an old man on the road, Jiang Li asked him how to go to the man's house, the old man pointed the direction and told us, saying that there was a Qingguan Lake in front of the man's house, the evil door was very evil, there were always children caught by things in the water, it is said that the previous one was not a pool, but the ancestral tomb of the people, I don't know which lack of virtue people did to dig the ancestral grave of the people to repair the pool, so that the Qingguan Pond raised evil things.
We thanked the old man and then walked over there, sure enough, there was a waterhole, when I was young and curious about everything, there were many small stones on the edge of Qingguan Pond, I picked up one casually and threw it into the pool, and there was no movement for a long time.
I was about to turn around and follow Jiang Li in, when my ankle was pulled by something, the force of that thing was so great that I couldn't shake it off at all, I saw its pair of brown-red hairy hands pulling me hard, and from the water I saw that it looked like a monkey.
I couldn't pull the monkey apart no matter how hard I tried, and all at once it dragged me into the water, and its claws were sharp and hung on me several blood marks, and I flapped in the water a few times, and I felt that my vision began to blur.
I picked up the stone next to me and tried to hit the monkey, but the monkey pounced on my stomach, and my stomach just rolled up, and the monkey suddenly burst into flames, making a piercing sound, and before I could react, I was fished ashore by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li hurriedly asked me to take off my wet clothes, "Didn't you let you stay away from this pool?" This Qingguantan has been around for some years, and there are some yellow hairs on the edge of the grass, and in March, when the spiritual creatures lose their hair, it is estimated that there are ghost monkey babies living there, and they specialize in eating the flesh and blood of the little babies. ”
I used to hear my second grandfather talk about the ghost monkey baby, saying that this thing was originally a spirit monkey, in our rural bear children are particularly many, there are firecrackers to blow up, there is fire, in short, there are a lot of spirit monkeys, these spirit monkeys are resentful, the formation of spirits specifically like to stay in the dark and damp or water to retaliate, before children were disobedient, adults like to use ghost monkey babies to scare us, it turns out that there are really ghost monkey babies.
I told Jiang Li about the situation just now, and he smiled slightly and pointed at my stomach, "It seems that this ghost boy has a protective nature of the mother, and they don't want to die even if they know that you are in danger, and the resentment made the ghost monkey baby see it, the yin qi of the five boys is stronger than the ghost monkey baby, and the yin in this belly has saved your life." ”
At that time, I was very glad that Jiang Li fished me up, otherwise I would have been eaten by the ghost monkey baby.
I already had a deep bite mark on my calf, and the blood was bleeding non-stop. Jiang Li frowned and said that my blood and yin qi are heavy, and I will definitely attract lonely souls and wild ghosts in this vicinity, this village is already evil, and if there are fewer people, there will be fewer natural yang energy, and yin qi nourishes yin things, and there are more things in this village than in our village.
After a simple bandaging to stop the bleeding, I followed Master Jiang Li to the house of the underworld man, but my leg hurt and I didn't want to leave. Jiang Li couldn't help it, so he asked me to sit outside, and he came to see the situation in the house.
I stood at the door just in time to see Zhang Duangong's house in front, and it had been a while since Zhang Duangong's accident, but I saw that his house was hidden.
As soon as Jiang Li walked out, I pointed to the side and told him that it was Zhang Duangong's house. Jiang Li wanted to say something to me, but when he saw Zhang Duangong's house, he pulled me over there.
Inside, the house was very clean, as if someone had cleaned it. Jiang Li asked me to keep my voice out, he told me that Zhang Duangong turned into a walking corpse and fled most likely because he had taken refuge here, and he was holding a wooden sword in one hand and a rune paper in the other, intending to capture Zhang Duangong alive. I asked Jiang Li if that rune paper would hurt Zhang Duangong, and I thought that Zhang Duangong had been helping me before I came, and I couldn't bear it. Jiang Li told me that this was just to immobilize him and keep him from escaping.
A black shadow suddenly ran out in front of us, Jiang Li chased him out, I followed him, he threw the wooden sword flying, and stabbed it on the left shoulder of the black shadow, he turned his face and found that it was Zhang Duangong, who had become a walking corpse, although his complexion was black and purple and stiff, but his face did not change and he could see clearly.
When Zhang Duangong saw us, he was shocked, and suddenly turned a fierce look at us, "Little brother, it's unreasonable for you to beat me without injustice or hatred, right?" ”
Jiang Li took advantage of the fact that he was not paying attention to pasting talisman paper on him, "Say, why did you choose a heart-piercing grave for Chen Xiao and his mother." Zhang Duangong heard this, and hurriedly told Jiang Li that this matter had nothing to do with him, it was all done by the Chen family themselves, and this matter could not be relied on by him.
I couldn't help but listen to it, "You chose the graveyard!" ”
Zhang Duangong lowered his head, "Although the cemetery is my location, it is also requested by your Chen family, if you want to ask, go and ask your grandfather, he can't get out of this matter!" ”
Jiang Li scolded him fiercely when he heard this, "Nonsense, you said that other people still have some reasons, Chen Xiao and his grandfather will never choose this cemetery, you can fool them, don't try to fool me, what the hell are you doing!" ”
Zhang Duangong bared his white teeth and laughed, "It's his grandfather." ”
I didn't understand what he meant at the time, I wanted to say that my grandfather was dead, but Jiang Li stopped me, "Are you sure it's Chen Xiao's grandfather?" ”
Zhang Duancheng was about to speak, but suddenly a strange voice came from behind, I turned my back, and a group of lonely ghosts gathered behind me were eyeing me and preparing to pounce on me.
