Chapter 113: Illusion (Bone Girl, 1)
Yang Tingfeng observed Sweet Water Lane for a long time, and his thoughts gradually returned to reality.
He was about to return to look for Pei Ju, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the cry of a terrible woman, which sounded in his ears.
Yang Tingfeng was stunned for a moment, and his infinite curiosity was aroused at the moment.
He straightened slightly, followed the voice, and disappeared at the end of Sweetwater Alley.
After walking about a mile, the cry stopped abruptly, Yang Tingfeng raised his eyes and saw that a pink wall suddenly appeared in front of him, it was actually a dead end?
He waited for a moment, carefully discerning the sound in the wind, and was certain that the cry never came again.
Just when I thought I had heard it wrong, suddenly, a fog suddenly rose around the flour wall, and it was so white that people couldn't see.
Suddenly, there were two strange female laughter in front of him, and Nicholas Yang had goosebumps on his body.
At this time, if you were an ordinary person, you would have been frightened by the scene in front of you. But Yang Tingfeng is different, he is a soldier, he is already bold, coupled with curiosity, the more strange things are, the more he wants to check what is going on, I saw him raise his hand to cover his eyes, touch the powder wall, step by step, and walk forward.
After a while, the white mist dissipated, Yang Tingfeng Huo Ran raised his head, took a closer look, and was so shocked that his eyes couldn't help but widen.
It turned out that as this fog gradually dissipated, a picture of the sunset and the mountain scene that was approaching dusk were outlined in front of me. The first wind in autumn was blowing fiercely, and not far away, there seemed to be a family, and the creaking sound of the grinding wheel and winch was continuous, mixed with the sound of pounding the stone anvil, which sounded chaotic.
But Yang Tingfeng clearly remembers that it is the beginning of spring now, how can it become autumn? Moreover, this day is not quite right, it is already twilight, why has it become dusk?
Of course, the most frightening thing is why he came to this mountain wilderness even though he is in Sweetwater Lane?
"What's going on?" Yang Tingfeng's heart jumped suddenly. He slowly drew the serpentine whip sword from his waist and strode forward.....
The autumn wind is cold and penetrating, and on the way forward, there is constantly a faint mist drifting from the surrounding mountains and dispersing forward, like a piece of signposts pointing the way, guiding Yang Tingfeng to move with the wind and follow the fog.
However, in the silence of the autumn wind, listening carefully, there were small women's voices ringing one after another, as if they were still in the ears, lingering, but there was no way to hear what was being said.
The weird and crept woman's voice makes people feel chills in their hearts after listening to it for a long time.
Yang Tingfeng stopped, frowned, held his breath and concentrated, spit a few times, and listened attentively. At this moment, there was silence in the valley, and all sounds were gone, and even the slightest sound could be heard very clearly in the silence.
Although the woman's voice was as thin as a gnat, it sounded slowly in Yang Tingfeng's ears:
It's miserable, it's miserable, it's miserable.
Coming up was Jiang Nu.
Cruel, cruel, cruel.
Poor and uncared for.
It's miserable, it's miserable, it's miserable.
Selling tofu on the street early in the morning.
Make money and give it to your husband.
hateful husband looking for him.
Cruel, cruel, cruel.........
An ethereal, desolate voice, like someone singing, seemed to be singing a ballade. The tone was also strange, like a song from Huangquan......
I don't know how much time passed, Yang Tingfeng woke up from his meditation, only to feel that his whole body was sore, and his whole body seemed to have no strength.
He raised his head and looked around, only to see that the surroundings were quiet, the bright moon was rising, and suddenly he heard a woman's cry faintly in front of him: "Woo woo woo ....."
The song is extremely miserable, but it has its own penetrating power, blowing through the mountains and forests, gradually moving away, but endlessly.
"I'm afraid this woman is not a living person, but listening to her singing, she seems to have infinite grievances, obviously hating her husband, but she is a little reluctant, alas, when a real person is like her words, she contradicts herself everywhere." Yang Tingfeng lifted his breath slightly, and was about to perform light skills and walk forward, but unexpectedly, he felt that his feet were sore and numb, as if they were filled with lead, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "What's the matter?" My light skills are ....... No....... Even walking normally is a bit difficult. β
Thinking of this, he could only move forward step by step, walked half a distance of incense, and finally came to the house.
Yang Tingfeng looked up: it was a low and dilapidated Beipai tile house, the house had no sunlight all year round, it was dim and damp, covered with cobwebs, dust, and the paper pasted on the window was in a mess, and the whole room was filled with ordinary smoke, without the smell of a living person.
In the courtyard of the house, there is a crooked-necked tree, and the shadows of the trees on the road are swaying, which is eerie and a little scary.
Yang Tingfeng felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but hold the snake whip sword tightly with both hands, at this moment, he suddenly heard the cry of the owl bird, and the wind behind him suddenly rose, he quickly turned around, but there was no one behind him.
But when Yang Tingfeng turned around, he was stunned for a moment. It turned out that in this dilapidated room, there was a woman with tears in her eyes, who looked taciturn and did not twist her posture, she was grinding tofu at this time, when the stone mill slowly rolled over the soybeans, the edge of the grinding plate, there was a wisp of milky white soy milk.....
Yang Tingfeng took a closer look: she was wearing an old calamus-colored shirt and skirt, covered with patches, her hair was neatly tied up on her head, she was not wearing any jewelry, and her face was not painted with grease powder, but she was like the delicate white wild camellia, lonely, swaying in the wind, and the petite and excessively delicate body, I felt pity.
On the ground, there was a guqin made of cyan oak wood, two of which had broken strings. Maybe someone left it there after breaking the strings; Maybe it was broken after a quarrel; Maybe it'......
Yang Tingfeng's eyes fell on the woman's feet again, and he couldn't help but change his complexion.
It turned out that in addition to the face, the flesh and blood on the woman's body had long since melted away, and her whole body had turned into a skeleton.
The Wei and Jin style shirt and skirt, although it is close to the body, the bones inside are clearly visible.
Although the woman has turned into white bones, she still gives people a feeling of clear water hibiscus and water hanging ice curtains, I don't know what kind of stunning woman she was before she died.
Yang Tingfeng looked at the woman intently, he knew that this should be the bone girl.
Yang Tingfeng clearly remembered that there was such a record in the "Hundred Ghosts" chapter of "Persona of Wolf Mountain":
According to legend, the original appearance of the bone girl was made from the skeleton of a woman. They were betrayed by others in their lifetimes, and finally died tragically, turning into a pile of white bones over the years, but their obsession with the world could not be dissipated for a long time. In order to take revenge on the men, at night, they will hold a peony lantern in their hands and confuse the men passing by on the side of the road. In the eyes of men, she is a beautiful woman with a beautiful face, but in the eyes of others, she is a terrifying white bone.
Yang Tingfeng was not afraid of her, on the contrary, he was very sympathetic to the plight of these poor women.
So he sat down in front of the door of the house with a big grin, and he placed the snake whip sword on his lap casually, and began to look at the bone girl carefully. The more he looked at her, the more he felt pity for her, so he asked, "Why are you still here?" Not going to reincarnate? β
The "woman" said: "This military master, as you can see, because he is poor, he will unconsciously grind more tofu, and when he sells it for money, he can exchange it for some food to live." Seeing that the weather is going to be cold, and I have money, I have to find a paster to change the paste paper on this wall to block the cold wind blowing in from outside. β
Yang Tingfeng didn't answer, just nodded silently.
The "woman" seems to have not spoken to anyone for a long time, and when the box is opened, she can't stop, "Also, like firewood, salt, and frames made of rush, you have to pay for them yourself." Not only that, but in rainy and windy weather, this house is leaky and uninhabitable, so you have to find someone to get it. Also, if I can't make money today, I will be scolded by my in-laws, but I always live with the idea of forbearance. That's how I've come over for years. The thought of what the future holds for me creates a fear in my heart; Once I am afraid, I miss my father and mother more and more, thinking that my mother's family is poorer than my husband's family, how is she living? I don't dare to think about it, but since I got married, I haven't heard from them. Of course, they won't come here to see me, so ...... Woowoo woo ......"
The "woman" wept as she spoke.
After crying for a while, the woman stopped the grinding plate, suddenly picked up the guqin on the ground, and plucked it.
The song "Phoenix General Chick", the timbre is quiet, poignant, and the liver and intestines are broken. Yang Tingfeng closed his eyes, savored the song, and slowly lowered the hand on the hilt of the sword.
Although, the woman in front of her is a ghost. However, as long as it has no malicious intent, it will not kill it and increase its negative karma.
After finishing the song in an instant, Yang Tingfeng opened his eyes, glanced at the "woman" and said, "You....... Why...... Suddenly so sad? β
As if touched by the wound in her heart, the "woman" looked at Yang Tingfeng with wide eyes and said, "Ah...... This military master....... Because I....... I can't find my husband! β
After speaking, the "woman" played by herself again, and the tone was even more bleak.
Yang Tingfeng sighed, lowered his head and did not speak, and continued to listen to the tune.
Bounced and played, the "woman" suddenly cried, her lips opened slightly, revealing two lines of broken jade, and she said sadly while crying: "Na, sir....... Excuse me...... Have you seen my husband? β
Seeing the female ghost so infatuated, Yang Tingfeng couldn't bear to tell it the truth.
Looking at the woman's service, I think it is a person from the Wei and Jin dynasties, this distant hundred years, even if it dies well, I am afraid that people have long been gone.
Yang Tingfeng tilted his head slightly to the side and said calmly, "I'm sorry........ I........ I do not know! β
The "woman" widened her eyes when she heard this, and Huo Ran hurriedly said, "My lord? How could you not know? The husband left home to go to the battlefield, he said...... He will write to me. He also said that even if he died in battle, he would turn into a blue bird and fly to my windowsill in the red morning glow........ You........ You're also a soldier....... How can you not know? β
Yang Tingfeng was silent.
At the same time, only a "knock" was heard, and the "woman's" hand shook suddenly, and the song stopped instantly.
The "woman" put down the shamisen in her hand inch by inch, and her expression became very strange: "Ah........ Husband, where is he now, how are you doing? Even if we can't meet, at least let me know about him. But no one would tell me where he was. My lord, can you please tell me? β
Yang Tingfeng stared at the woman for a long time, and then exhaled deeply and said, "I'm sorry, this lady, I really don't know where your husband is." β
The air paused, and an indescribable cold smile suddenly flashed through the eyes of the "woman", and she laughed softly: "Giggles, ah! I remember, my husband, that he lied to me; He didn't go to the army, but took the money I worked so hard to sell tofu and went to find the woman; Later, in collaboration with the woman, they tricked me into going to the well...... Woowoo.......
Such a strange cry made Yang Tingfeng's heart chill, and he didn't dare to answer at the moment.
How are you....... The old monk I ate is no more........ You guys.......... You are all liars! β
Suddenly, the "woman's" voice couldn't help but scream: "Why.......... Why do you all lie to meβ"
As soon as the words fell, I only heard the sound of "ding", and the guqin made a strange sound, which startled the birds on the crooked neck tree......
