Chapter 10: Earthbound Spirits, Red Clothes
Under the moonlight, Li Daoxuan suddenly found that he had overlooked many details.
Compared with other villagers, although Wang Chunsheng has a ruddy complexion, a clear consciousness, and a more living atmosphere, his body is very light.
Just now, Li Daoxuan pulled him to run for his life, and he didn't feel how hard it was.
But in reality, he was a tall, slightly chubby man.
Wang Chunsheng himself was also very confused, he looked at Li Daoxuan, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes, and said: "I'm not, Dao Chief, I'm really not, don't listen to his nonsense......"
But Li Daoxuan silently took a few steps back and moved away from him.
The yellow-robed Taoist priest sneered and said to Wang Chunsheng, "Do you remember when you entered this village?" ”
"Of course I remember, I went into the mountains to collect medicine last night and delayed the time, and I entered this village by mistake!"
Wang Chunsheng immediately said excitedly.
"Hehe, what did you do last night?"
"I was walking on the street, I met Master Chen, he invited me to the wedding, I was greedy for a cup, so I followed, and then I met the Taoist!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes flashed, and he sighed lightly in his heart, it seems that the words of the yellow-robed Taoist priest are true, Wang Chunsheng really has a problem.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Wang, we only met tonight, and you went to the wedding last night?" ”
"yes, I-"
Wang Chunsheng froze in place, his eyes glazed over, his pupils dilated, revealing a trace of pain.
"yes, I went to the wedding last night, why did I go again tonight, what happened in between?"
He covered his head, and a trace of black gas began to appear on his body.
"I can't remember, I can't think of ......"
Li Daoxuan pinched a Five Thunder Talisman in his hand again, but the yellow-robed Taoist priest stepped forward and blocked in front of him.
"You're dead, just last night!"
The voice of the yellow-robed Taoist priest is like Hong Zhong Dalu, majestic and unpredictable, with an inexplicable Taoist rhyme, echoing in the ancestral hall for a long time.
Wang Chunsheng fell to his knees, his head hung down, his eyes could not be seen, and his voice was low and hoarse.
"Yes, I'm dead, just last night, I rushed to save the bride, and they turned into demons and devoured me......"
Wang Chunsheng raised his head, blood gushed out all over his body, his eyes were hollow, and his eyes had disappeared.
"They ate my heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, and it wasn't enough, they gouged out my eyes, and I died so miserably, I died so miserably!"
The resentment on his body boiled, and he rushed towards the yellow-robed Taoist priest.
"The edict of the Taishang, the lonely soul of Chaoyou, the ghost of everything, the four lives are gracious, and the urgency is like the law, accept it!"
The yellow-robed Taoist priest took out a black jar out of nowhere, recited a mantra, and pointed at Wang Chunsheng.
"Evil obstacles, don't enter my altar yet!"
The next moment, Wang Chunsheng's body suddenly turned into countless black mist and was sucked into this small jar.
The yellow-robed Taoist priest closed the lid, only to see that the lid was still trembling, as if there was a force constantly hitting inside.
But the yellow-robed Taoist priest took out a piece of talisman paper and pasted it at the mouth of the altar, and suddenly the altar became quiet.
The whole process was smooth, and the yellow-robed Taoist priest was calm and calm, without the slightest panic.
Li Daoxuan leaned over and looked at the black jar in surprise, but he smelled a faint smell of urine.
As if feeling Li Daoxuan's gaze, the yellow-robed Taoist priest smiled and said, "I came in a hurry, and I accidentally took it into a night pot, so let's make do with it." ”
Li Daoxuan was speechless for a moment, and mourned for Brother Wang, who had to suffer such inhumane treatment after his death.
"Dao Chief, what is so strange about this village, and why are you...... Will it be in a coffin? ”
Witnessing the other party's amazing Taoism, Li Daoxuan decided to quickly hug his thighs and chat first to brush up his feelings.
The yellow-robed Taoist pointed to the altar and said, "The evil ghosts in this village are actually the same as the people in the altar, they are all earth-bound spirits. ”
"Earthbinders?"
Li Daoxuan remembered that these three words had been mentioned in the Book of Demon Wanderers, but his knowledge was limited and he didn't know what they meant.
The yellow-robed Dao sighed: "The earthbound spirit is actually quite pitiful, that is, people don't know that they are dead after death, and they still do the things before death day after day, repeating the day before death, and once they are awakened, they will turn into evil ghosts. ”
Li Daoxuan was shocked: "So, the villagers of the entire village are earth bound spirits? ”
He remembered that at the wedding scene, when Wang Chunsheng went to save the bride, he mentioned the official, that is, when he heard those two words, the villagers would suddenly become evil ghosts.
The yellow-robed Taoist priest nodded, glanced at Li Daoxuan, and said, "Anyway, it's boring to be idle, Daoist, I'll tell you the story of this village, so that you, the little Taoist, can have some knowledge." ”
Li Daoxuan immediately said: "Listen to me." ”
The yellow-robed Taoist priest was like a trick, and there was an extra wine gourd in his hand, he took a sip of the spirits, and said: "In the fifth year of Wude, this is still a peaceful small village, called Lijia Village. ”
"Because the village is deep in the mountains, it is far away from the war, peaceful and stable, and there is a goddess in the village who knows a little about Taoism, which can keep them from the harassment of mountain ghosts and spirits, and their lives are quite peaceful."
"Until one day, a plague suddenly broke out in the village."
Because of the epidemic, many people died in the village, and some people wanted to escape from the village to seek medical treatment, but at that time, Liu Heimin took advantage of the Turks to raise troops, occupied Hong and Ding, and confronted Li Tang. When he heard that there was a plague in the area, he sent troops to surround it in order to prevent it from reaching the army, and then one night, he set fire to the whole village! ”
Li Daoxuan was puzzled: "But why is there a wedding in the village?" ”
The yellow-robed Taoist priest smiled coldly and said, "Do you really think that the epidemic appeared naturally?" ”
Without waiting for Li Daoxuan to speak, he continued: "Do you see those red lanterns outside, it is actually a large array of yin gathering, which is laid down by a master and used to gather the yin qi of the three mountains, and I want to raise a powerful ghost thing!" ”
"Raising ghosts?"
"Dao Ye, I just entered the village and noticed that something was wrong, there were obvious traces of formation here, and then I came to the ancestral hall and collected the old ghost in the coffin, he told me that just after the outbreak of the epidemic that year, there was a Taoist priest who entered their village."
"The Taoist priest told them that if they want to be rescued, they must hold a wedding to celebrate the plague, and he also named the bride to be the eldest lady of the Chen family, because she was born in the lunar year, the moon and the cloudy day, and she is the most loved by the plague god."
Speaking of this, the yellow-robed Taoist priest said disdainfully: "Bullshit's Yixi Chong Plague, that Taoist priest of Youfang is clearly taking a fancy to the eldest lady of the Chen family, if this kind of woman with a birthday of eight characters dies with resentment, it is very easy to become a powerful ghost, coupled with the years of nourishment of the Yin Gathering Great Array, it is enough to raise a red clothes!" ”
"Red?"
Li Daoxuan said with some doubts.
"After death, if a person is resentful, he may turn into a demon, but a ghost with malicious intentions, and the threat is not very great, if ordinary people are hard-fated and the yang fire is vigorous, they can also survive, but the evil ghost goes one step further and turns into a powerful ghost, but it is a little tricky."
"Ordinary people face powerful ghosts, even if the eight characters are hard, they will definitely die, even the cultivators, there is a lot of danger, and among the powerful ghosts, the most powerful is the red clothes, if the red ghosts are born, tsk, within a radius of 100 miles, don't think about the infested with living creatures."
Li Daoxuan thought of the bride's red wedding dress, which was dark red as blood, and a chill arose in his heart.
It turns out that he once rubbed shoulders with such a powerful red-clothed ghost?
"You should have also seen the bride, she is the eldest lady of the Chen family, who was forced to hold a wedding, full of resentment, and on the wedding night, Liu Heimin ordered someone to set fire to the village, and all the villagers were left alive.
"And the eldest lady of the Chen family, controlled by the formation, has to get married night and night, every time she repeats it, her resentment will be deeper, and to this day, I am afraid that she has already been resentful and turned into a red-clothed ghost!"
The yellow-robed Taoist priest showed a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and said: "Today, the red clothes have been cultivated, and the Taoist priest of Youfang should also come back to pick the fruits, otherwise the red clothes will get out of trouble, and it will not be easy for him to accept them again." ”
