Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Daoist Chongyang smiled on the spot and said, "Monk, Daoye, I saved you just now." How? If you don't appreciate me as a life-saver, you just come to do it to me, is this what you call cause and effect?
Who knew that the monk smiled slightly, and said that the little monk originally wanted to chant the scriptures under the willow tree for three days and three nights, surpass the local undead, and let them die in bliss, which is the right way to deal with the ghosts. Dao Chief, your murderous aura is too heavy, you must know that killing is not a good way.
Daoist Chongyang scolded pedantic in his heart, he was a resolute person, and he didn't want to entangle with this great monk, so he was going to the village with his sun and moon bamboo cane, wanting to kill all these demons and monsters.
If it was because of this great monk's delay that all the demons and monsters ran away, then he would have chased after him.
Who knew that when he left, the monk also chased after him with his own copper bowl, and said while chasing, Taoist leader, please stay! The ghosts here can't be killed!
Daoist Chongyang raised his eyes and glanced at it, only to see that this village was full of ghosts and resentment. The heart said that such a heavy grievance would sooner or later lead to disaster, so I didn't think about dealing with the monks at all.
But he had only taken two steps before he had to stop.
Because on the path in front of him stood a group of peasants armed with sickles and hoes.
Curiously, these peasants were middle-aged women in headscarves or teenage children, and a few white-bearded old men on crutches. There is not a single adult man at all.
Moreover, they also looked at the Chongyang Daoist angrily, their eyes were about to erupt with fire, and several of the children even picked up the clods on the ground and threw them at the Chongyang Daoist.
Who is the head of Chongyang Road? Naturally, they will not be as knowledgeable as this group of villagers. He said, folks, I am a disciple from Maoshan Mountain, I see that your village is haunted, I am afraid that there are powerful ghosts, if you need help, I am willing to contribute to everyone, rest assured, I don't want a penny......
As a result, before he finished speaking, an old man spat at Chongyang Dao Chang on the spot. The old man said, stinky Taoist! Get lost! Our village doesn't need your help!
Daoist Chongyang was naturally not spit out by the old man, but he frowned. Because the villagers here are so unfriendly.
But the head of the Chongyang Dao didn't care, originally, the poor mountains and bad waters came out of the people, and there were many people who cheated to eat and drink in recent years, and it was inevitable that there would be some people who pretended to be Taoist priests.
So the head of Chongyang said again, folks, I don't want money or food......
Then another old man said, get out of here! We don't have any ghosts here! Get out of here!
While talking, he took a cane to smash the head of the Chongyang Dao, and the rest of the women and children were excited, and they simply regarded the head of the Chongyang Dao as a villain.
After all, the head of the Chongyang Dao is young and vigorous, and he wants to resist as soon as the sun and moon bamboo cane in his hand is horizontal, but at this time, the monk hurriedly chased after him from behind, and while chasing, he also said, don't fight! Don't fight!
Strange to say, the old and weak women and children in the village do not believe in Taoist priests, but they believe in monks and monks. As soon as the monk spoke, the old man and the children all stopped.
The monk said, this Taoist is not a bad person, you should start slowly, and everyone will explain everything clearly.
The great monk was there to talk badly, and the group of hostile villagers finally retreated. But although the villagers retreated, the hostility did not disappear, and even two young girls stayed behind to watch over him.
The head of Chongyang knew that if he wanted to enter the village to catch ghosts, he had to get the support of the local villagers. Otherwise, the ghost will not be caught, but will be beaten by the villagers and it will be troublesome. He thought about it for a while and decided to find out the situation with the great monk.
So he asked the great monk and said, "Monk, what is going on in this village?" It's all about the hell, how can a living person live here? So to the point where they are so arrogant that even the exorcists don't believe it?
The monk smiled bitterly and said, Chief Chongyang, the little monk knows that the village is haunted, and the villagers also know it, but sometimes the ghosts also have a hard time. The evil qi on your body is so heavy, those old and weak women and children know that if the Taoist leader really enters, those ghosts will have to die.
Daoist Chongyang raised his eyebrows on the spot and said, could it be that this group of people still dares to shield the Yin Soul?
The monk said, "Do you know why there are no men in the prime of life here?"
Daoist Chongyang said impatiently, how do I know? I'm just here to catch ghosts, what do you care about those prime men?
The great monk smiled slightly and said, "Dao Chief, if you want to catch ghosts, you must find out what is going on here."
Chongxu Dao Chang was still a little unimpressed at that time, because his usual method was to counter violence with violence, relying on the yin and yang shoes under his feet, and the sun and moon bamboo cane in his hand, he really didn't care what kind of story those yin ghosts had.
But now that the villagers are not allowed to go in on their own, they may really have to hear what is going on.
So the monk said, Dao Chief, the reason why the ghost is formed is actually because of obsession. I hope you'll be able to let them go after listening to this story.
This village is called Kushui Village.
In the sixties, there was a famine all over the country. Especially in the Henan area, although it is located in the plain, although the population is large, but because of three years of natural disasters, resulting in no harvest.
If the peasants do not have a harvest, they will only starve to death.
If people are very hungry, there will be more people who leave their homes and go out to beg for food. At that time, every household went out to beg for food, and they were in groups.
The men in Kushui Village left the last bit of surplus food for the old and weak women and children in the village, and then went out together to beg for food.
The number of adult males in the village is small, at best more than twenty. Early one morning, dressed in tattered clothes and holding a broken bowl, they left their hometown.
This departure is more than two months.
Two months have passed, and the men who are begging for food seem to have died outside, and none of them have been able to come back. At that time, the old and weak women and children in the village were already numb, and in this world, as many people should die, and there was not a single grain of food in the village, and it was estimated that in a few days, someone would starve to death.
But one night, seven or eight men hurried back home. They carried a wicker cage on their backs, and the cage was heavy and looked heavy, and they didn't know what it was.
When the seven or eight men returned, they found the old local village chief and asked him to gather the villagers.
When the old village chief saw that the men who had gone out to beg for food had finally returned, he was overjoyed on the spot and asked everyone to come.
These seven or eight men put the basket on the ground and said, "This is what the villagers who went out asked us to bring back, don't worry, everyone has a share!"
So a man lifted the back basket, and everyone saw clearly, inside was a neat stack of meat stacked piece by piece.
Everyone was surprised on the spot, you must know that you can't even eat enough to eat these days, where is there meat to eat? So when they saw the meat, everyone's eyes lit up.
The amount of meat is very large, and with this batch of meat, the future life will be much better. Someone asked, what kind of meat is this? The men's eyes flashed, and they only deduced that they were wild boar.
So everyone didn't doubt him, anyway, as long as the meat came, almost every household got a piece of meat that was not light.
The pieces of meat were all chopped up, and it was impossible to tell what kind of animal it was. But who cares what animals are not at this time? Even people began to devour minced meat.
The old village chief wanted to give the man a piece of meat, but the man refused. The old man didn't care, and squatted at the foot of the wall with a bowl of meat and began to eat.
Someone whispered, where did my man go?
As a result, the men said vaguely that the others were now trying to find a way to find meat, and as long as they found it, they would definitely send it to the village as soon as possible.
Originally, I thought that the meat would be gone after one meal, but after three or four days, seven or eight more men came, but this time a few of them were replaced. Although the people have changed, they are all from Kushui Village, and everyone does not doubt him, not to mention that the meat is here, just eat it, and the main problem now is to fill your stomach.
The third time, again a couple of men. But they're starting to get sad too.
Because he eats the meat brought by the men in the village all year round, Kushui Village has spent the most serious time of green and yellow. As long as the new food comes down, everyone really doesn't have to go hungry.
But at this time, it seems that the men of the village have not been here for a long time, and the meat hanging in the corner of the wall is almost finished.
After some time, the men of the village should have gone home to work on the farms, but by this time they found that none of the men had returned.
Now everyone was in a hurry, so some half-grown boys went out in groups to find their father and uncle.
Don't look young, but you can do things neatly. The half-grown children scurried around, and the next day, they found where the village men were hiding.
But tragically, it's just a mass grave. If it weren't for the fact that the women of the village who came to hear the news recognized the clothes of their men on the white bones of the mass graves, I am afraid they would have thought it was a coincidence.
The main thing is that next to the white bones, there are two or three dying men. The three men were rescued by the local Lang Zhong, and only one survived. But after the man explained the reason, he committed suicide that night.
You may have to ask, what happened to these men, starving to death outside the village? But shouldn't that be? Didn't they get a lot of meat for the people in the village?
Are they reluctant to eat it and give it to the people in the village?
The old village chief who heard the news only glanced at it, and his face changed on the spot, saying, This is bad!
