Chapter 20 The Death of the Two Dead in Weiyang South Village 2 Folklore
The strange sound lasted for about two hours, but it ended as if someone had pressed the stop button.
The agitation in the village finally quieted down, but what happened next was even more bizarre.
The white clouds over the village seemed to be poured with ink, and in the blink of an eye, they turned black. Something seemed to be stirring in the clouds, and the black clouds spread like waves.
About twenty minutes later, the sky over the entire village was covered with black clouds. The heavens and the earth were gray, there was no thunder or rain, and there was no wind at all.
The villagers felt very annoyed in their chests as if the air pressure and oxygen content in the air were low, but the oppressive feeling of returning to the room disappeared.
In the village, the large and small domestic animals sleep quietly in their nests, and the pigs do not snore. Even flies and mosquitoes go to sleep, and there are not half of them in the smelliest huts.
It's so quiet! Everyone felt that way, and the whole village was as silent as death.
It was like this all day, and even at noon the sky did not brighten a little, and even the light and shadow of the sun could not be seen.
Although the villagers are afraid, most of them think that as long as they close their doors and stay at home, even if the mountain spirits do something wrong, they will be able to live in peace when the weather is clear.
Only the township chief's heart was very weak, and everything that happened now shook the township chief's belief that he did not believe in ghosts and gods, and thought that the strange sound that lasted for two hours was the painful wail of Huangpizi after being poisoned.
If the yellow skin did not become a sperm, how could the cry spread throughout the village, frightening the rats out of their nests, and how could the sky become so terrifying?
That night, the village chief drank a lot of wine and fell asleep on the kang like a dead pig.
The next morning, the village chief's daughter-in-law woke him up in a panic and told him to look at something.
The township chief stopped at the place his daughter-in-law said in a daze, and after seeing it clearly, he was so frightened that his hangover disappeared. I saw that on the door panel of my house and on the edge of the window sill outside the house, there were two pairs of yellow-skinned paw prints!
On the door panel were two pairs of black paw prints, as if a soldering iron had been scorched, and the wooden board was already scorched. The village chief poked lightly, and the black wooden block in the shape of paw prints fell to the ground and broke into several petals. The door panels are left with hollowed-out paw prints, the edges as smooth as if polished. When the township chief saw the paw prints and the part of the tip of the claw, he was even more convinced that the paw prints were not made by man.
First of all, paw prints are definitely formed by high temperatures, no different from burnt wood.
Secondly, no matter what shape of soldering iron is used, the burnt surface will spread in a circle, and the other side of the door panel will not be the shape of a soldering iron, but only a round shape. How is it possible to have a complete and undifturing paw print inside and out, down to the tip of the claw?!
Not to mention that there is no such skill in the world, even the blacksmith who can make a soldering iron in the shape of paw prints does not know where to find it.
The township chief imagined that if this pair of claws pressed on his body, he suddenly shuddered with fright.
Looking at the paw prints on the edge of the window, the shape is only a rough outline, and at first glance it looks like a paw covered with black mud stepped on and formed after air drying.
But if you look closely, there is no dirt, but the edge of the window is burned black! Reflecting the bright yellow light of the candle flame, the two pairs of paw prints were black with purple reflecting the bright light, and they touched their fingers with their hands to be clean, but there was an indescribable scorching sour smell, which made the township chief pour his stomach.
Thinking about it, Huang Pizi crawled through the doors and windows of his house in the middle of the night last night, I'm afraid I'm here to seek revenge!
The sky was still dark and cloudy, and even the village chief, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, was afraid.
Although I don't know why Huang Pizi didn't enter the house last night, but looking at this paw print is terrifying enough, the township chief decided to leave the village for a while.
At that moment, he packed his bags and took the old novel to the city to watch a play, but he couldn't get out of the woods outside the village, and no matter which way he went, he would come back.
The village chief knew that a catastrophe was coming, and immediately ran to the sixth mother-in-law's house.
The grandmother of the sixth woman is a great god of jumping, a kind of shaman wizard who evolved among the people. It is a ritual that uses specific dances, musical instruments, and incantations to convey wishes and instructions to the gods.
She only needs to sit cross-legged and burn incense and meditate for a while to ask the gods for divination, or invite the deceased to possess her and communicate with her. Because she is very effective, she is known as the "goddess" in the village.
But she has an eccentric temper and easily does not help others. If you help someone, you either don't take a penny, or the lion opens her mouth, so the villagers will definitely not ask her when there is no major incident.
It is said that before the township chief saw the roof of the sixth mother-in-law's house, he saw her sitting on a stone on the side of the road peeling beans from a distance.
The township chief hurriedly ran forward to say hello first, but the sixth woman stood up, pointed to the township chief's nose and scolded, "Your fucking cabbage bongzi, the red-haired sperm that can't be pulled out for hundreds of years has made you a disaster, and the melon skin of your slutty sperm is not enough, are you licking it!?" I have to mess with the master there! You hurry to the village to stay on the old poplar tree at the mouth of the child, save the babies from short-lived, lose your ancestors' virtue, and smoke your two big scrapers when you enter the soil......"
scolded for twenty minutes without pausing, scolding the township chief so much that he wanted to drill into a mouse hole.
After the sixth woman finished scolding, she was angry, so she sat down and continued to peel the beans, but she didn't say a word.
The township chief guessed that the sixth woman didn't want to take care of this matter, so he hurriedly surrounded her and said good things. In the end, she knelt on her knees and begged with a handful of snot and tears, and the sixth woman agreed to help.
The sixth woman said that she didn't have the ability to lower red hair essence, so she had to go outside and invite a master. But now if you go to invite someone, you will not be able to come back at night, and if you see that the township chief is not at home, you will definitely go crazy and bite people, so the township chief will have to sleep at home tonight.
The sixth woman asked the village chief's family to sleep at someone else's house, so as not to lose their lives because they were afraid of doing something they shouldn't do.
Then the sixth woman smeared a layer of ash on the edge of the kang of the village chief's house, added rice water and mud, and instructed the village chief not to get out of bed when he heard any sound, no matter what happened. It is said that this mud can help the township chief block the evil spirit, so as not to break the body and the legs and feet will not be good the next day.
He also tied two hemp ropes on the door and the window, saying that it was soaked in sesame oil, and the nose of the red hair essence would not be bright after smelling it for a long time, and it would be much easier for the township chief to leave the village.
The sixth woman also said that the red haired spirit had just died, and it couldn't hurt people before it was formed, so she could only stare at the township chief to prevent him from escaping. Every night he came to the village chief's house and invaded his body with evil spirits, making him weaker and weaker, and then came to take his life when it was formed in seven days. So it's okay tonight, just sleep.
However, the township chief was so afraid that the six gods had no owner, where could he still sleep, and squeezed into the corner of the bed under the quilt to recite Amitabha Buddha, and he read it until midnight.
However, it has the effect of counting sheep, and the township chief gradually closed his eyes.
In the second half of the night, the village chief was awakened by a faint noise, and smelled the smell of roasted tree bark.
The only place around the village chief's house where there was bark was the fence wall, and when the village chief knew what was coming, he immediately became energetic, and quickly tightened the quilt and covered himself tightly.
As soon as I covered my head, I heard two clicks on the door, and the red fur came to climb the door again!
The township chief curled up in the quilt and broke out in a cold sweat, pricked up his ears and listened for a long time, but he didn't hear any sound, and he couldn't help but have the idea of peeking.
He slowly turned around in the quilt and leaned on the kang, lifting a gap to peek.
It didn't matter, it almost didn't scare him. Outside the window, there were two pairs of green eyes, which could be seen clearly even through the rough curtains.
The township chief was frightened but also confused, he poisoned one of them, how could two of them come out?
At the same time, the township chief found that a puff of steam-like white smoke came out of the pot mortar along the edge of the kang, rising straight, as if a wall was standing on the edge of the kang, which was in response to the six women's words to block the evil spirit.
Only then did the township chief remember the instructions of the sixth woman - if you can't sleep and find the red hair, don't move, don't look at its eyes, lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep, don't get a rooster crowing.
The two-hour wait was so miserable that it seemed like decades had passed for the man to come out of the house early in the morning. A good middle-aged farmer, now with half-white hair and wrinkles on his face, like a dry seventy-year-old man.
Although the village chief was tired, he had more important things to do.
He took a basket of beans peeled by the six women, and began to go up the road, first scattering a bean in front of him, then a bean in front after stepping on one foot, and then a bean in front after stepping on the other foot, and so he stepped on a bean and walked out of the village.
The sixth woman said that this is called Douban Erjing to guide the way, so as not to let the red hairy essence blindfold and turn the way.
According to the instructions of the sixth woman, the township chief took a boat to cross the river after leaving the village, went to Gengwuguan to find a Ma Lao Dao, and asked him to come to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
This journey was not short, and when the township chief came back with Ma Laodao, it was already dark, so the township chief had to stay up at home for another night.
However, the village chief slept peacefully this night, and felt that he could sleep peacefully if he found a savior. Anyway, the red hairy spirit just stared at him outside the house, and wouldn't come into the house to bite him to death, so he simply drank a drink, and it was difficult to sleep without sleeping.
What's more, Ma Laodao made a small dummy and put it on the township chief's bed, saying that it was to block him and calm his heart. In fact, it is intended to absorb the breath of the township chief, and then it can be used to deceive the red hair.
The next morning, Ma Laodao took the township chief to subdue the demon alone.
It took Ma Laodao and the township chief two days to dispel the psychedelia several times before they found the bodies of two red haired spirits in a tree hole in the forest.
Among them, the female red hair has a wound on its belly, which appears to have been bitten by some kind of wild beast, while the male is intact.
Only then did the township chief understand that the red-haired spirit stole the chicken in order to injure his impaired spouse, so he wanted to be poisoned by his design and made a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks.
At this time, the whole paws and tail of the female red hair essence are black, and the hair is fleshy, as if it was born like this. The male is different, the whole leg and a quarter of the body are black.
Ma Laodao said that when their whole bodies turned black, they would be refined into wood ghosts (ghosts mean ghosts, wood ghosts are ghosts in the mountains and forests, and the red haired spirit hides the corpse in the trunk of a tree, which also belongs to this range).
The weasel is extremely vindictive, and this point has become the threshold for refining the wood charm. You must devour the soul of the enemy and eliminate the obsession before you can cultivate into a spirit.
However, depending on the situation, because the female red hair essence was injured first, it hurt its vitality, and it was already dying before eating the poisonous chicken, and there was no sense of being killed, and this death damaged the Tao.
The male died with a strong resentment, not only did it not become weaker but it became stronger, so it blackened faster.
It stands to reason that killing the township chief alone can only subsist the resentment of the public. Ma Laodao guessed that the red-haired essence wanted to refine into a wood charm was a decision that had to be made when he was on the verge of death.
For beasts, it's better to be a spirit than an beast.
The male must want to become a fine first, and then go to refine the mother. That is, as soon as the township chief died, the whole village suffered. Because the mother's Taoism is several times different from the male's, if you want to become a sperm, you don't know how many lives you will have to kill.
Finally, Ma Lao Dao was strong and strong, and subdued and sealed the pair of red haired essences.
However, the township chief doesn't know where it is sealed, only that Ma Laodao himself carried the body of the red hair essence and carried a small wine jar, saying that it was sealed with the spirit of the red hair essence and went to the mountains to bury it.
Decades have passed in a flash, and the only person in the village who knows about it is Grandma Sun.
After so long, she almost forgot about it, until one year there was a strange noise in the mountains, like a crow's cry, but ten times more unpleasant, and all the birds in the mountains were startled. At the same time, the livestock in the village became boring, similar to the situation a few decades ago, desperately looking for a place to hide, and she remembered the incident.
But the difference is that the dogs in the village are not afraid, but bark in that direction, demonstrating in general. So Grandma Sun thinks that these are two things, it may be that there is something evil in the mountain, but it is not powerful.
Another decade passed, and it was time for the first double death incident in the village. Because of its rationality, Grandma Sun didn't pay attention to it, and only became suspicious for the fourth time. It wasn't until the eighth year that the baby died, and Grandma Sun decided that the strange phenomenon that appeared that year revealed that the pair of red haired spirits had broken free from the seal, and they had been doing the trick all these years.
Grandma Sun guessed that the red hair essence was subdued by Ma Laodao back then, and all of them lost their vitality, and they were locked up for decades, and their cultivation was not as good as before.
In order to improve their cultivation, they have no choice but to focus on those who are dying.
I think only this kind of person has the weakest ability to resist and can commit murder without being detected. So as soon as someone is about to die, the pair of red hairs will go out and suck the last breath of this person.
It's a little less, but it's better than nothing.
And don't forget that there are two red hair essences, and there is only one in one breath. Therefore, taking advantage of the inhalation of yang energy and the short-term increase of strength to harm a person, the unguarded old people around him naturally became the target, so there was a phenomenon of double death.
And this pair of red hair essence should not only stop at attracting popularity, as long as it can increase the cultivation method, they will do it. Therefore, in just a few years, their cultivation has reached the level of being able to absorb yang energy more vigorously.
When someone in the village gets a strange disease for no reason, it is estimated that they will return to the level of the year, and only another figure like Ma Laodao can stop them.
Grandma Sun only talked about these things with her great-grandson, because her vague old man's words were only understood by her great-grandson, and it was already very good that others could hear the three achievements.
And this great-grandson stuttered when he was a child, and it was difficult to tell people everything. When he grew up, he stuttered a lot better, but he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and only regarded it as a legend, only for entertainment and told his classmates.
This year, when he went to college, he saw netizens discussing folklore when he went to the forum, so he published the legend of Weiyang South Village and the bizarre death incident on the forum.
The newspaper's informant found the post, and the editor-in-chief presented it to Qin Zhenyang as a candidate topic.
Qin Zhenyang began to feel that the authenticity of this matter was not high, even if it was true, there were many suspicious points and it was not easy to investigate. Besides, two people die in a year, and it may not be possible to catch up with the investigation.
But having said that, Qin Zhenyang saw the heated discussion among netizens and thought that even if there was no result, as long as he stated the details and bizarre points of each double death incident, it would also attract the attention of readers.
So, Jiang Jinjiu was going to Shaanxi.
