Lunar Bridge VI.
"Then I'm counting on you......" The old man looked at San Buliu and kept eating his baked cakes, and lowered his head in resignation, "Actually, I also heard from the neighbors about her, Xiaoyue is not from our town, she and her man only moved in a few years ago." She is a young lady from a big family in the capital, her mother's family is powerful and powerful, she is also good-looking, she speaks very politely, and she laughs like a fairy, which is different from the people here. ”
"Her man is an unambitious talent, his career is not smooth, and his family has no money. It seems that Xiaoyue's mother's family didn't agree to them getting married, so they ran out. When I first came, the relationship between the two of them was very good, and they were together wherever they went, but what was the use of living a good relationship, firewood, rice, oil, and salt had to spend money, and Xiaoyue sold her jewelry, barely enough to live. She is a man, she is not angry, it doesn't matter if she can't be an official, he still refuses to work in the field, and he doesn't want to do a small business, even if he sells baked cakes like me, he won't be able to support his daughter-in-law! ”
Two years later, life is getting more and more difficult, Xiaoyue takes some needlework and does some needlework at home, from morning to night every day, needless to say. Her man still eats and dresses well, and goes to the capital twice in three days, saying that he is begging a friend to find an errand. At first, Xiaoyue didn't think much about it, every time she went out, she sent her far away, and handed over all the money she earned to him, for fear that he would wronged herself. Who knows that this man's heart is getting more and more ambitious, and he often goes for more than half a month, and then he simply doesn't come back. ”
Xiaoyue thought that something had happened to her man, and she couldn't eat or sleep because she was worried, so she begged someone to go to the capital to help inquire, and then she learned that her man lived in Wanfang Building. What kind of place is Wanfanglou, the most famous Qinglou in the capital, living in that kind of place, spending money like running water, not to mention, the smiling woman grabs a handful, where do you remember your daughter-in-law. ”
Her man knew that Xiaoyue was looking for him, and he refused to come back, and he wrote a letter of resignation for people to bring it. Alas, have you ever seen this kind of man, he has done too much! Xiao Yue took the letter of resignation, didn't say anything, locked herself up without eating or drinking, and the neighbors were afraid that she wouldn't be able to think about it, so they went over to see her from time to time, and as a result, they bumped into her and hanged herself. ”
That time, Xiaoyue was rescued, but she entered Beijing that night and found Wanfanglou to see her man. Wan Fanglou's bustard said that her man owed a lot of money, and if she wanted to see him, she had to use the money to ransom him. Xiaoyue really had no choice but to go back to her parents' house for help, but her mother's old lady had already returned to the west, and none of her brothers would take money out to redeem the unproductive brother-in-law, so she knelt at the door all night, and didn't even give a face. In the end, it was the housekeeper and the subordinates who pooled the money for her to redeem her man. ”
Her man felt ashamed, and begged Xiaoyue to forgive him with tears in his eyes, and said that he was also involuntarily unable to make friends and go astray. He was afraid that Xiaoyue would be affected, so he couldn't bear to write the letter of resignation. God knows if what he said was true or not, Satsuki believed him anyway. Unexpectedly, not half a year after they reconciled, someone secretly told Xiao Yue that her man was on good terms with the widow in the town, but Xiao Yue didn't believe it until she saw her man sleeping on the widow's bed. ”
Xiao Yue rushed in and beat the widow, but her man not only did not admit his mistake, but also beat her in turn, blaming her for promoting family ugliness and making him faceless. This time Xiaoyue was heartbroken, she couldn't go back for this man to have a home, she suffered so much for him, she just looked forward to being able to grow old with him, but she didn't expect her to make compromises, and this man still failed her. Satsuki ran home crying, put on a red suit, took the spear from the neighbor's hunting, and jumped off the moon bridge. ”
By the time her man chased him out, Xiao Yue had already choked his breath, and the neighbors scolded her for having no conscience, he just kept crying with his head down, and finally left the town with Xiao Yue's body in his arms. After that, you all know, Satsuki's ghost is back, guarding the bridge to take revenge on the man who thought differently. ”
Hateful people must have pity, Yue'er turned into a powerful ghost and harmed many people, who would have thought that her situation in life would be so miserable. The biggest misfortune of a woman is that she is unladylike, especially an infatuated woman, once she pays her sincerity, she can never get it back.
"Xiaoyue is harming people here, aren't you afraid?" Sanbuliu wondered.
The old man shook his head, "Maybe she still remembers the kindness of her neighbors, and she never harms the people in the town, but she has nothing to be afraid of." ”
"Outsiders don't know, shouldn't you remind you?" Shuilian sympathizes with Yue'er's plight, but can't agree with her approach.
"More things are better than less, what if you annoy Satsuki and trouble us?" The old man said vigorously, "It's the Taoist priest's business to catch ghosts, and the Taoist priests have nothing to do with her, so what can ordinary people do?" ”
"Where's that damn stinky man?" Changqing squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and his eyes were full of fierce light, which was quite terrifying.
The old man chuckled in his heart and hurriedly waved his hand, "I never came back, I don't know if it's life or death." ”
"What does he look like?" Changqing smashed the wooden table with one palm, and the flying debris flew everywhere, shaking the earth and trembling.
The old man raised his eyes to the sky and meditated, "I just saw it from afar, I really can't tell what he looks like, he seems to be quite delicate and white." ”
"Think about it!" Changqing raised his hand and directly shook the chair that he didn't sit on flew out.
The old man's whole face wrinkled into walnuts, and his shriveled lips trembled, "I, I can't remember......"
"Enough, Evergreen!" Shuilian counted the old man's losses, threw him a string of money, and asked, "How to go with a clear heart?" ”
The old man took the money and showed the way for the water lotus happily, and when he saw that they were far away, he suddenly remembered something, chased him out and asked, "Can you send her away today?" ”
Three didn't keep his head and didn't reply, "I don't know." ”
"And what if she still thinks about my baked cakes? What if she's coming to arrest me? The old man cried out in horror.
Sanbuliu shrugged, "Don't you say that she remembers the kindness of her neighbors and never harms the people in the town." ”
"I'm ......" the old man sighed with a sad face, ran back and got a dozen baked cakes, and threw them into the river, "Xiaoyue, you eat, eat to your heart's content, don't come to me......"
The boundaries of heaven and earth are clear, and the world is no exception, and the world has many misunderstandings about the earthly realm, and demons, demons, monsters, good and evil are not mixed together, and they are all regarded as hoodoos and avoided from them. In a place like the Taoist temple, there are so many unreasonable Taoist priests living there, unless they are impatient to live, they will make trouble for themselves.
Shuilian asked the little Taoist priest who swept the floor to lead the way, and entered the Pure Heart Temple alone, pouring the past and the present, and Changqing and San did not stay outside to wait for her.
"That Taoist priest is very stubborn, he won't help us, Miss Lian has found the wrong person this time." Sanbu did not stay in the shade of the tree to enjoy the shade, and said to himself, "It is better to ask the people in the town more, maybe you can find the weakness of the evil spirit." ”
"I can't wait to find that stinky man immediately and cut him with a thousand knives, if it weren't for him, Yue'er wouldn't have died, let alone become a ghost." Changqing's anger rose, and he punched the big tree behind Sanbu, and the thick trunk clicked, splitting in half from it.
"Calm, calm...... "San Buliu was scared out of a sweat by her, "Let's be in the Taoist temple of the world, please restrain yourself, if you alarm the old road within a radius of 100 miles, what should you do if you come to collect demons?" Is it possible to ask the King of Nine Heavens to come forward to explain? ”
Changqing took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and glanced at the ancient and modern who was lying on the trunk of the tree and looking in the mirror, "Are you stupid, you didn't even say a word for a long time." ”
Holding a small bronze mirror, he stared intently at the wound on his face, "Recuperate, don't disturb idlers." ”
"Do you really think you're human? Isn't it just a wound, wouldn't it be nice if you used some spiritual power? ”
"That's not going to work, healing too quickly will leave a scar, I'm going to wait for it to heal slowly."
Changqing resisted the urge to go crazy, "We're going to collect the spirit, and we have to kill that stinky man, how can we have time to wait for you to recover slowly." ”
Looking at himself in the mirror, he smiled slightly, "There is a scar on my face, which looks more manly, but I still like smooth and jade-like skin." So, do I keep the scar, or do I wait for it to come back to normal? ”
"Sao Fox ......" Changqing couldn't stand his blindness and roared angrily.
Reluctantly put away the mirror, supported her head with one hand, her long silk satin hair poured down, and her slanted eyes looked at Changqing, "Don't blame me for saying you, you are a woman with a simple mind and well-developed limbs, and she can't see anything clearly." ”
"What's going on?" Changqing asked puzzledly, "You should have made your words clear!" ”
"What about you?" Looking at the past and the present, he didn't leave three behind, "Ah San, you have always been sharp-toothed, and your head should be very bright, so I don't need to say more!" ”
San Buliu thought about it and shook his head honestly, "I don't know what you mean." ”
He rolled his eyes, waved his hand and lay down again, "You put together everything that happened and what you heard, and if you think about it, you will naturally understand." I'm tired, so I'll get some sleep first. ”
Changqing and San Buliu looked at each other, so it was really annoying to talk about the past and the present, but what he said always seemed to make sense.
When Daoist Nianchen saw the water lotus, he sent away the little Taoist priest who led the way with an expressionless face, closed his eyes and continued to meditate, and said with a little impatience, "The girl came to find the poor Dao, if it is for the evil ghost of the Moon Bridge, please go back!" ”
Shui Lian expected him to be like this, crossed the threshold and walked in, and said to herself, "Miss the dust, miss the dust, so it is!" ”
Nian Chen frowned slightly, slowly opened his eyes, and looked directly at the water lotus in front of him, "What do you want to say?" ”
"The evil ghost of the Moon Bridge, others can dislike her, but you are not qualified." Shui Lian disdained the ridicule that covered her eyes, "When you enter the Taoist temple, you can escape the criticism of the world, but you can't escape the condemnation of your conscience." So you have repeatedly indulged her evil deeds, knowing that if you let it go, she will harm more people, but because you owe her, you can only sit idly by. ”
"Nonsense!" Nian Chen glared at Shui Lian angrily, "You mean, I have connived at the evil ghosts all these years?" Why should I do this? ”
"That's all that has been said, aren't you going to admit it?" Shui Lian snorted coldly and shook her head, "I'm really not worth it for her, I gave everything for you in my life, and it is difficult to get peace after death." Yue'er's husband, when will you be like a real man? ”
