My old watch took me to the mountains to set rabbits, good fellow, it was cold in winter, and we wore several layers of cotton jackets, like a big cotton ball.

It's best to have a snow day, do you know why? ”

When Zhu Gui said this, he raised his head and looked at me and Hu San, he spoke like this, as if the actors and the audience performing on stage wanted applause, and he couldn't go on if you didn't say two words when you heard him in the vernacular.

Hu Sanzhi and I shook our heads.

Zhu Gui grinned, and then said: "Anyway, the rabbits on the mountain are all thieves and low-pointers, my old watch said, rabbits have their own way, we generally can't see it, only after the snow can be distinguished by their footprints." ”

"I said Zhu Gui, didn't you say that you saw the ghost, why hasn't this ghost come out for a long time?" Hu San stretched his head out from the second floor and asked.

"Don't worry, listen to me slowly, that time I went up the mountain with the old watch, I looked for this rabbit footprint on the mountain, but we searched for a long time and didn't find anything, my old watch is also strange, he said that usually you can find footprints everywhere here, today is really evil.

It was already late when we spoke, and we found nothing for most of the day, and when we were about to go down the mountain, we saw several rows of people's footprints on the way back, and the footprints were very small, probably from children of six or seven years old.

My old watch said that someone had taken the lead in getting there, and someone else must have done it first. He said that he would follow the footprints to see, and maybe he could pick up the leaks.

Let's follow the footprints, and the mountain is full of thorns as tall as a man. ”

"Wait!" Hu San interrupted: "Is it a child tall or an adult tall!" Tell the story rigorously! ”

Zhu Gui glanced at him, "What are you doing so seriously, stop it." At that time, we walked among the wattles, and walked a section of the road that my old watch said seemed to be the road to the mountain temple. I asked him, do you still have a mountain temple here? The old watch said that it was actually a very small house, just over a meter high, I don't know who built it, and sometimes people in the village will come to worship it.

After walking for a while, sure enough, there was a small mountain temple in front of me, good guys, not to mention how beautiful the small temple was. It is particularly refined, a little higher than my height at the time, it is exactly three rooms, although it is very small, but it has all the organs, windows, doors, the statue of the god in the middle, the fruit, there should be in the temple, there are two monks who knock on the wooden fish and chant the scriptures.

The weirdest thing is that there are candles lit in the middle hall, what do you say if you set the mountain on fire?

He was also startled when he approached, and he said that he had been here many times before, but he had never seen anyone light wax.

Looking at the rows of footprints again, I happened to walk into the main hall in the middle of the small temple.

We boldly walked to the temple and looked into the big hall where the statue was enshrined, and guess what we saw?"

Zhu Gui stared at us with big eyes, and Hu San and I shook our heads vigorously.

"******, scared me to death, there were several small heads and melons behind the statues in the temple, and they ran out when they saw us chirping, and the clothes they wore were colorful, as if they were all paper clothes, and the most terrifying thing was that their faces, one by one, were black and mushy, as if they had just been taken out of the stove pit, and they couldn't see anything with their eyes, nose, ears, and ears.

As soon as I saw this situation, I ran back with the frightened girl, but no matter how fast I ran, I could always hear the chirping of the children behind me, it was so scary, but fortunately they didn't catch up, otherwise I wouldn't be sure if my buddy would not be in the world now. ”

"Are you talking about ghosts, how do I feel like a goblin!" Hu San said.

"Anyway, it's not a human being, since then, Lao Biao and I have never dared to go up the mountain to trap rabbits, alas, my young heart was scared by those bastards, and there is still a shadow now."

I don't know if what Zhu Gui said is true or not, if it is true, those children may really be monsters, maybe something has changed.

I think that this trip to Xiangxi will not be so smooth.

Before leaving, Hu San told me that there are many strange things in Xiangxi, what kind of poison and what kind of corpse, all kinds of witches and magic, witches and warlocks and the like are gathered here.

I heard that there are three evils in Xiangxi, chasing corpses, Gu poison, and falling flower cave girls.

I don't know much about the rest, but I know a lot about chasing corpses, because it was very famous in our time.

This folklore belongs to the witch culture, that is, a type of witchcraft. The scope of activities to drive out the corpse is basically in the Xiangxi area, and it is said that the corpse will not be able to drive out of Xiangxi.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, a leader named Apu Chiyu led his troops to a great battle with the enemy in the Yellow River.

After the war, countless people died, rivers of blood flowed, and corpses were strewn all over the field, and at that time, Apuchiyu ordered all the bodies of the dead soldiers to be sent back to their hometown for burial.

One of the military masters in Apu Chiyu suggested to him that it would be too much work to manually remove the corpses, and he said that he knew a wizard who knew how to transport corpses.

When the wizard came, he stood in the middle of the corpses, closed his eyes and recited a spell, and all the corpses stood up, and the wizard had a bell in his hand, and he walked while ringing the bell, and wherever he went, the group of teachers behind him followed.

This is the earliest origin of the exorcism of corpses.

So why is there a geographical restriction on chasing corpses, this has to start from the ghost country.

Speaking of the ghost country, it is even more evil, and it is said that there is a ghost gate leading to the underworld in this area. During the Han Dynasty, for some reason, there was turmoil in the underworld, and the ghost gate was wide open, and some rebellious ghosts escaped from the ghost gate.

At that time, it was not King Yama who was in charge of the underworld, but King Qin Guang, and because of the ****, King Qin Guang had no time to scruple and fled the ghost. Later, the turmoil in the underworld subsided, but it was too late to catch those ghosts, and King Qin Guang sent countless Yin soldiers and generals, but in the end they still returned in vain.

So where did the escaped ghosts go, and only after hundreds of years have passed, a legend has emerged. Legend has it that there is a demon in the Xiangxi area, which is said to be the spirit beast of ancient times, and his magic power is boundless, and he is not subject to the jurisdiction of the yin and yang worlds. Those ghosts were just hidden by him.

Over time, a ghost kingdom was established, and the demon didn't know what enchantment he had cast, so that the yin and yang worlds couldn't find him.

Of course, this is just a legend, and the credibility is very low. But there is a saying that there is no wind and no waves, and legends are not handed down for no reason, but are also based on some facts.
