Chapter 471: Ancient Legend (1)
The yang fire on everyone's body has been taken away, and Yang Qing and Lao Tang, who have lost three yang fires, can also see the ghosts and ghosts in the mountains, as if they have a pair of yin and yang eyes. I said to the two of them, "I have taken away the yang fire from you, and whatever you see or hear in the future, do not panic, lest you show your feet." ”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and said what can they see and hear later?
I smiled, pointed to the mountain, and said, "Look over there and see if you can see anything?" ”
When the two looked up, they saw the ghosts and ghosts all over the mountain, and they were very frightened, and their smiles were discolored, saying that a ghost was coming.
I hurriedly told the two of us not to panic, because we have no yang fire now, and ghosts and evil worshippers may not be able to tell whether we are humans or ghosts.
After hearing this, the two of them understood my intentions and nodded their heads again and again.
At this time, Chen Xianyi suddenly asked me: "How can the ghost come forward and talk?" ”
Hearing this, I also felt that this was a problem, because when a living person opens his mouth to answer, he will definitely reveal yang energy, and human words are completely different from ghost words. Thinking of this, I said to Chen Xianyi: "This is simple. ”
Then, under the astonished gaze of the people, he grabbed a handful of mud from the ground and said to them, "Why don't you use it?" With that, he put a handful of dirt into his mouth and took it in his mouth.
I motioned to Yang Qing and Lao Tang to quickly take a mouthful of dirt, so as not to expose the horse's feet. The two of them were shocked, and their eyes widened and asked me what I was doing here.
At this time, Chen Xianyi explained for me: "As the so-called soil is safe, the chest needs to be pressed against the soil after passing the yin, which means that it is dead, and this soil is taken from the word 'death'." And Ergou's mouth contains soil, which means that the words he said are nonsense. People speak differently from ghosts, people speak human words, and ghosts talk nonsense, and if we speak directly, the ghosts will know that we are human. Therefore, it is feasible to use the method of two dogs. ”
Yes, some of the gods and goddesses who are not very good at Taoism, or Mr. Yin and Yang, cannot talk to the ghosts, so they have to take the soil and put it in their mouths so that they can communicate with the ghosts. And the words that come out of this mouth are said to be nonsense.
The three yang fires that everyone brought with them were taken away, and the soil was also in their mouths, and at this time, the ghosts and evil cults on the mountain also came down the mountain.
The first to come was a woman, who looked like she was in her forties, drenched all over, her hair sticking to her scalp, and constantly dripping water, and she looked like a drowning ghost. The woman came to us, looked up and down, looked at us a few times, then frowned, and muttered to herself: "Strange, there were obviously four living people just now, but when I came to the front, there were four new ghosts?" ”
With that, the woman looked at us again, and then turned away.
When she returned, the ghost who had been descending the mountain with her stopped and muttered something. I couldn't hear it because it was too far away, but the woman was talking to the ghost, and from time to time she pointed at us, thinking that she might be talking about us.
The woman spoke to the ghosts, and then continued up the hill, and the spirits glanced at us and turned back. Still, a few ghosts came down to us.
This time, an old man came, who seemed to be seventy or eighty years old, old and wearing a coarse cloth robe, not dressed in this era, but like a person in ancient times. Behind the old man, there were a number of ghosts and ghosts, all kinds of ghosts, hanged ghosts with long tongues, wild ghosts with scattered heads, and lonely souls who died in battle with stumps and broken legs......
When we look at it for a while, there are hundreds of ghosts, to say the least. Seeing so many ghosts coming towards us, to be honest, several of us turned pale and a little panicked.
When a group of ghosts came to us, they looked around the four of us, their eyes staring at us like poisonous snakes, and our hearts were cold, and we were terrified that they would see the flaws.
Originally, we thought that when they saw that there was no yang fire on us, they would turn away like the woman before. However, the ghosts did not leave, but the old man who took the lead asked us, "Four are ghosts?" ”
Since the other party asked, it would seem strange if we didn't open our mouths, so I nodded and replied, "Yes." ”
"Why did you show the smell of a human being before?" The old man asked with a frown.
As soon as we heard this, we were all secretly shocked in our hearts, could it be that this old guy saw the flaw? Several people looked at each other, all stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while. In the end, I had no choice but to reply: "We have become ghosts, how can we have the breath of a living person, the old gentleman has lost his eyes!" ”
When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but look at us again, frowned slightly, and said to the ghosts: "Wrong, wrong, this time I picked up the wrong person again." ”
With that, these ghosts actually showed a hint of loss, and then they wanted to turn and leave.
Now we are confused, thinking what does it mean to pick up the wrong person? Could it be that the ghost ship is the one they use to pick up people, but we are not the ones they want to pick up?
Curious, I asked the departing ghost, "We were picked up by you in a ghost ship?" ”
The yin spirits stopped, the old man nodded, and said, "If you come, you will be safe, but now that you are wrong, you can be ghosts with peace of mind." ”
Listening to what he meant, it was clear that the ghost ship was really sent by them to harm people. Although we came here on a ghost ship, it would be strange if another person got on the ghost ship, and we didn't die in the end. And I heard Lao Yang say that there are often ghost ships on the sea, and anyone who sees a ghost ship will not be able to survive. It can be seen that this ghost ship has caused a lot of disasters and has killed many innocent people.
Thinking of this, I persuaded them: "Since everyone has become a ghost, why don't you go to the underworld to be reincarnated, but you still want to harm people and take your life?" Are you not afraid of hell and punishment? ”
The old man said: "You have become ghosts, so it can be seen that there are ghosts from the underworld who have come to take you down?" Here, heaven does not matter, earth does not matter, people do not care, this is hell. If it weren't for the fact that one day you could go down to the underworld to be reincarnated, how could you let the underworld go out to pick up people! ”
When I heard this, I suddenly realized, no wonder there are thousands of ghosts gathered here, it turns out that this is actually a three-way zone.
The so-called three-regardless zone means that the heavens do not care, the earth does not care, and the world does not care. In this kind of three-way zone, the dead soul cannot be reincarnated, so he has to wander in this place for life and life, and he does not want to be reincarnated forever. It is said that there are some ten thousand burial pits that are the three regardless of the zone, because most of the ten thousand burial pits are plague or war deaths, so the resentment is so angry that even the underworld does not want to take care of it, in order to be able to be reincarnated, the ghosts of the three regardless of the zone have to harm people everywhere, in order to accumulate enough resentment, one day the resentment will be angry, let the heavenly court know their grievances, so as to let them out. To put it bluntly, this is a bit like the meaning of the folk complaint.
Could it be that the ghosts of this place are the same, trapped here and unable to go anywhere? So in order to accumulate enough resentment and alarm the heavenly court, will the ghost ship go around harming people and asking for their lives here?
But what makes me wonder is that if they are trying to accumulate enough resentment, then why do they say that they have picked up the wrong person after seeing us?
I asked the doubts in my heart, but the old man said: "There are thousands of ghosts in Yinshan Town, and it is difficult to get out of Yinshan Mountain." But we are not here to accumulate resentment, but to pick up someone, a person who goes to Penglai Island. But you have become ghosts, and ghosts can't leave Yinshan even half a step. ”
At this time, we were very surprised, first, surprised that the reason why these ghosts sent ghost boats out to pick up people was to pick up people from Penglai Island; Second, I was surprised by the three words "Penglai Island" that the old man said. Of course, at this time, I was also very puzzled in my heart, I don't know why these ghosts want to pick up the people of Penglai Island?
I hurriedly asked the old man, "Uncle, why do you want to pick up the people from Penglai Island?" ”
The old man glanced at us, and then said, "Since you are new here, the old man will tell you why." ”
Next, the old man told us a story from a long time ago......
It is said that a thousand years ago, there was a little Taoist priest who subdued demons and eliminated demons. Once, he accidentally fell into the path of a demon and was almost killed, but fortunately he was saved by a female ghost named Xiaoqian. The little Taoist priest found out that ghosts are also divided into good and evil. But I saw that Xiao Qian was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, and she was kind-hearted, and in the end, he fell in love with a female ghost named Xiao Qian. However, people and ghosts have different paths, and they cannot achieve results.
The little Taoist priest wanted to die, and then be with Xiao Qian, but Xiao Qian didn't allow it, saying: If you die with me, I will never let you see me.
The little Taoist priest is helpless, people and ghosts have different paths when they are born, and Xiaoqian is unwilling to see each other when they die.
One day, an immortal saw that the little Taoist priest was worried and troubled alone, so he asked the little Taoist priest, why are you worried?
The little Taoist priest saw that there was a fairy in front of him, so he begged: "I fell in love with a female ghost, but unfortunately people and ghosts have different paths and cannot be together." Ask the immortals to show you the way. ”
