Extra: The Tale of Temur (1)
Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Zhang Wuren told me that the world is opposite, so there is day, there is night, there is man, there is woman, there is justice, and there is evil.
Today's story is not about what Zhang Wuren and I encountered, but specifically to talk about the head of the Shandong Tie family, Tie Mu.
The Tie family is in Penglai, Shandong, the family has a large number of talents, we met the iron fungus is known as the first exorcist of the iron family, it is said that he went to Yunnan when he was young, more than ten years without news, and then one day suddenly went home, everyone found that his ability has surpassed most of his peers.
It's just that no one knows what Temur experienced in Yunnan, some people say that he has fought Gu masters, killed sorcerers, and beat Thailand's head lowering masters. A long time later, Colonel Di Ming once told me that Temur had also cooperated with the Special Crime Department to exterminate a group of people who used cults to harm people in Yunnan.
This story about Temur, which we also heard a long time later, is now specially taken out and told to you as a separate story.
I'm talking about the eighties, when Temur was only eighteen years old.
The Tie family has a strange custom, no matter whether it is male or female, once they reach the age of eighteen, they must go out to practice, until you catch a powerful ghost or demon, you can be regarded as a real disciple of the Tie family.
If you fail, you can't enter the core of the Tie family, and you can only choose to do business in the family, or go into politics and the military.
It's a good thing that other families can join politics or the military, but for the Tie family, only exorcists are the real core. No matter how high your status is, as long as the head of the Tie family, Tie Mifune, gives an order, you have to go to the soup and fight the fire, and you can't shirk.
As for the coming-of-age ceremony, no one cares about where this group of newly grown Tie Family disciples goes, and no one cares.
If you die outside, the Tie family will investigate, if you are killed, someone from the Tie family will naturally come forward, if you die on the task of the coming-of-age ceremony, then blame yourself for not being good at learning.
At that time, Tetsu Mifune was not dead, and Temur was the leader of the younger generation of the Tie family, in fact, with his ability, catching a powerful ghost or demon at the coming-of-age ceremony was basically a piece of cake. But this guy is very proud, thinking that if he catches a little ghost who is not in the stream, he will not be able to show his ability, not to mention that now that the world is peaceful, the demons and monsters dare not appear in crowded places, and it is not easy to find some fierce ghosts or something nearby.
So Temur made another decision to go to Yunnan to complete his coming-of-age ceremony.
However, he said that Temur was alone, bought a ticket to Yunnan, and after arriving at the station, he purchased some necessary things and plunged into the mountains.
He knew that after the era of defeating some bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, many powerful ghosts and old zombies who had Taoism all knew that their era was over, and they either fled far away from the mountains, or were caught and chopped up by the group of madmen in the Special Case Department, and if they wanted to get ahead in the coming-of-age ceremony, they had to go to that kind of inaccessible place to find it.
Along the way, I went over the mountains and mountains, ate dry food when I was tired, picked wild fruits, occasionally hit a small animal and beat the tooth sacrifice, and stayed on the tree for the night when I was sleepy. Needless to say, it's hard work.
But he said that one day, all of a sudden, he climbed over a big mountain and came to a small village.
At that time, the development of Yunnan was far less than now, so that small village had no roads, and it was extremely inconvenient to enter and exit the mountains, so it was basically a small isolated village. Temur stood on the hill and looked at it, and then used the compass to locate it, only to find that the location of the small village was particularly strange.
How to put it, that feeling is particularly abrupt, because the surrounding terrain is integrated, and it is an excellent feng shui leyline. And the location of this village makes Temur feel like a rat droppings falling into a pot of porridge, which seems out of place with the surrounding terrain.
Temur thought it was strange, but when it came to feng shui, he could only be regarded as a little understanding, far from being proficient. So Temur cleaned up his tattered clothes, took the iron knife, and entered the village with the package.
The village is not big, a bluestone road runs directly through the whole village, and the surrounding houses are very peculiar stilted buildings, scattered on both sides of the bluestone road. At that time, Temur was young after all, and he didn't know that this was the unique architecture of the Dulong clan.
He just wondered, why wasn't there anyone in the village? Could it be a ghost village?
You must know that ghost villages are really rare in the deep mountains and old forests, and the living people basically die when they go in, and they can't get out again.
Temur felt that something was wrong, so he held the iron knife. He knew that the mountainous areas of Yunnan at that time were very chaotic, and this kind of village, which could only be reached after walking for more than ten days, was beyond the control of the local government. If something really happens, no one knows if you die here.
But soon he understood why there was no one in the village, because he turned a corner and immediately saw a large bustling crowd standing in the open space at the head of the village, and a large bamboo pole more than ten meters high was erected in the open space, and a blood-colored dress fluttered in the wind on the bamboo pole.
There are two or three hundred villagers, including the elderly, children, and young and middle-aged people. They were dressed in strange costumes and had colorful patterns tattooed on their faces, which made them look hideous and terrifying.
But although it doesn't look right, people are very enthusiastic. Seeing Temur come in, an old man who looked highly respected came out, and when he saw Temur's outfit, he said in half-baked words, Han Jialang, people who can pass through the 100,000 mountains and come to Poison Dragon Village are all great warriors. Welcome to Poison Dragon Village.
Since the other party could speak Chinese, Temur breathed a sigh of relief. So he respectfully introduced himself to the old man, of course, he didn't say that he was an iron family, but just said that he had come to practice.
The old man was also very enthusiastic, but said that there was still a big matter to be done in the village at the moment, and he would entertain the distinguished guests in the evening. Only then did Temur know that the people were not gathered here to welcome him, but had other things to do.
There are also a few of the younger generation who can speak Chinese, and it is said that they went out with the caravan of the village to exchange daily necessities and left the mountains. At that time, the transportation was poor, the rivers were crisscrossed, and the mountains were endless, and it took ten days and eight days to leave the village, and the supplies could only be resisted by people on their shoulders, and even livestock could not enter.
Temur spoke with a few young men and learned that a funeral was taking place in the village. At the east end of the village, there was a man from the Dulong clan who died, and it is said that he was killed by a ghost. The village is driving away evil spirits, and if the evil spirits do not disperse, there will be dead people in the village.
Temur knew that Duomusa was the person in charge of the sacrifice in the Dulong clan, and his status in the clan was higher than that of the village chief.
Temur pointed to the bloody clothes floating in the sky and asked, what is that?
The young man said that it was Kalibronsa, and he translated it, which probably meant that the clothes were dyed red with the blood of the dead, and floating in the air could be purified of the soul. As for the name of that Ka Hesa, Temur was disgusted and shouted directly at the bloody banner.
But Temur is also the descendant of the Shandong Tie family, and it is the best kind, when he stands on the ground and looks at the bloody clothes, how to look at how strange it feels.
So he asked the young man, "Do you often have dead people in your village?"
The young man looked around, lowered his voice and said, "It wasn't common for people to die before, but these days, every four or five days, someone is killed by a ghost. It seems that the old man of Dumusa can't suppress it, and after this incident, he will rush to Wulong Village on the other side of the Nu River tomorrow to seek help from Namusa.
Both Duomusa and Namusa are people who exorcise demons and evil spirits in the Dulong clan, and Namusa's status is higher than that of Duomusa. If you can't do it, it's normal to invite Namusa.
When Temur heard this, he was overjoyed, and said to himself, God helped me. There are evil ghosts in the deep mountains and old forests, this thing has killed so many people, and I deserve to get ahead! And even the old priest of the Dulong clan can't handle it, it must be extremely vicious! If I accept this guy, I can go back to Shandong to complete my coming-of-age ceremony.
Don't look at Temur was only eighteen years old at that time, but his mental maturity is far from being comparable to the eighteen-year-old sissies now. He didn't speak, just thought about going over and talking to him when Grandpa Musa was done.
With the methods that his iron family has been circulating for thousands of years, there should be no powerful ghosts who can find it difficult for him.
But at this moment, a gust of wind blew suddenly, and the bloody clothes on it fluttered, and they were blown away by this gust of wind. The old man screamed in surprise on the spot and said a word in the local language.
After saying that, the crowd dispersed with a bang, and more than a dozen young adults shouted and chased after the scattered bloody clothes, while the remaining women hurriedly covered the children's eyes and asked them not to look around. The young man who was talking to Temur just now also hurried to chase after him, but was stopped by Temur, and he said what happened?
The young man struggled, but he couldn't break free. So he hurriedly said, the bloody clothes flew away, and whoever fell to them would be the next person to die! It's a ghost picking out his own sacrifice! We've got to stop this thing before the bloody clothes fall!
Temur said, "If you stop it, you won't die?"
The young man said that the bloody clothes were stopped and handed to the old man who took the Musa, and the old man would know what to do!
The men of the Dulong clan shouted and chased after the bloody clothes, but Temur had an extra heart and stood still without moving. He took out a blank piece of paper, drew a brush from his waist, and drew a bird on it with a few strokes. Then he quickly folded it a few times, and the paper bird flew up.
The bird flew very fast, and in an instant it was close to the fluttering bloody clothes. However, Temur didn't have the ability to let the little bird get the bloody clothes off, but with a wave of his hand, the paper bird quickly returned to his hand.
Temur opened the paper, and then saw a hideous imp pattern on the white paper. The pattern was formed by black gas, and the iron fungus was still spinning rapidly when it was received.
When Temur saw the pattern clearly, he was instantly surprised! Because he had seen this thing in the classics of the Iron Family! It's called Seven Souls! That is, the most yin and evil one!
