Michael looked at Ann, "Banshee?" With that, Michael scratched his chin, "This ...... Where should I start with the people telling you? Xiao An didn't speak, and Michael said, "Actually, the banshee was a human before, but she only had some abilities, which is simply ......"

Ann "Witch? ”

Michael nodded, "Yes, it's a witch, but she was a kind witch before, and everyone called her Bansey!" When she was still a witch, occasionally when someone was about to die, Bansey would cry nearby, but at first it only happened occasionally and it was not very frequent, and then Bansey cried more and more, and everyone realized that as long as Bansey cried, someone was destined to die! So Bansey's crying was a prophecy of the death of a member of the family, and the legend spread, and more and more people learned about it, and later the church sent people to investigate, and found that most of them were ...... Although not all of them, most of the families whose surnames have the prefix "Ó" or "Mao" in the surname of Bansey are foretold by Bansey, and the churches that have reported it believe that Bansey is an evil witch who brings evil and death! It was also linked to the Airlie family, the largest witch family at the time!

Ann: "The Airlie family? ”

Michael: "Yes, the Airlie family was the worst enemy of the church at that time, and it is considered to be the birthplace of witches! Ann nodded, and Michael continued, "By the way, Bansey is mentioned in the 1380 book "The Victory of Trow" written by Sean MacClaes, but Bansey is recorded as a kind of ghost!

Michael looked up and thought about it, "Actually, there are many things about Bansey, for example, there are also Bansey's deeds in the account of the "Normans" at that time, it is written in the book that Bansey appeared at the coronation ceremony of the then trusted king Elgar, and howled loudly, and the whole city heard it, but did not find his real body, but the strange thing is that the king heard Bansey's cry and immediately died violently, and he bled at all times! ”

Xiao An: "The king let cry to death? And what about later? ”

Michael: "Change the king, after King Elgar died violently, the parliament urgently chose Brian Bo to be crowned the new king, but legend has it that he also heard Bansey's cry during the coronation ceremony, but this time it was obviously different from the last time King Elgar's cry, because only a small number of people heard the cry, so the king did not have an accident and succeeded smoothly. ”

Xiao An: Could it be that someone misheard? ”

Michael shook his head, "Probably not, because the king was killed the night after he succeeded him, and it is unknown how he died, but he did die by him." ”

Xiao An: "Then this Banxi is also powerful enough, he sings whether he dies or dies violently, but there are so many people who hear singing, why is only the king dead?" ”

Michael: "I don't know, but according to our tradition, when someone dies, at the funeral, there must be a woman singing the elegy, but the elegy is not for everyone, it needs the kind of woman with a very sweet voice to sing, Bansey is actually one of the people who do the business of singing elegy!" Xiao An nodded, and Michael continued, "These women are always singing elegy at funerals, so they are sometimes called mourning girls by some unscrupulous ruffians, which was originally an insult, but they were called away, this kind of business actually requires very good skills in singing elegy, ordinary mourning girls can't receive too much business, only some poor people will invite them, and even worse ones can't get any business, but the business of a well-known mourning girl like Bancy is overwhelming." ”

Xiao An: "So Ban Xi started to do the work of crying and mourning?" No, singing mourning! ”

Michael: "Yes! ”

Xiao An: "Is Bancy famous only because he sings well?" ”

Michael: "No, Bansey is famous because of five families!" Legend has it that there are five great families of "nobility" who are Ocrates, O'Neill, O'Brien, Ockrohur and Kavanagh, and these five noble families can't ask ordinary women to sing elegiacs, so they are usually sung by elven women! ”

Xiao An: "Elf? Is it the kind with pointed ears and white skin? ”

Michael smiled, "Of course not, the elf family is talking about a mourning girl with the ability to prophesy, usually this kind of elf woman will start singing when a family member dies, even if that person dies far away, and the bad news has not yet arrived, the elf woman will start to sing an elegy!" And this elven woman is Bansey! Later, people gradually took Bansey's cry as the earliest notification of the death in the family. ”

Xiao An: "So Ban Xi was capable from the beginning?" ”

Michael shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, first of all, Bansey is just a title, not a name, Bansey is just another name for the elf girl, legend has it that the Bansey of the O'Brien family is named Avril, and she leads the other 25 Bansey who always appear with her!" And they only appeared once in groups, and cried at the same time, and the next day, the family's city was destroyed, and everyone in the city was killed.

Xiao An: "A group of Banxi crying is that there are a lot of people who die? ”

Michael: "Nor is it, in a later legend, Bansey might appear a few days before the death and warn the family of the death. And when more than one bansi appears at the same time, it means the death of a saint or great man or the imminent slaughter of the city. So when the king died violently, the reason why the whole city heard Bansey's cry was that there were probably a lot of Bansey! And some legends point out that the woman known as Bansey, although called an elf, is actually the ghost of a woman who was murdered or died during childbirth, and because she was murdered, she had this special ability. ”

Xiao An nodded: "What does Banxi look like?" Is it particularly scary? Or is it just a normal witch? ”

Michael's "folk Bansey is often described as a woman dressed in white or gray with long white hair arranged with a silver comb, and the detail of the silver comb is considered by scholar Patricia Lysaght to be confused with the local mermaid legend, just as the silver comb is also associated with an old Irish romantic legend that says that when a man sees a comb that has fallen to the ground in Ireland, he cannot pick it up, otherwise the Bansey who deliberately put the comb there is of course different from the mermaid legend. But the story is the same, the person who picks up the comb will be abducted by the mermaid or Bansey! As for the other stories, there are also descriptions of Bansey dressed in green, red, or black and gray cloaks, all of which are different! ”

Xiao An: "Then what is Bansey that you are going to deal with?" Have you seen it? ”

Mielke shook his head, "I haven't seen it, but this Bansi has been in this woodland for a particularly long time, and there is even a legend that this Bansi is from a beautiful country!" ”

Xiao An: "Beautiful country? Why? ”

Michael: "There's a small local church that says there's a record of this Bansey being captured in the Brave Country in the late 18th century, and then the brave Irish brought back the American version of the Brave Country, and the most famous version of the story of the Beautiful Country comes from the Taal River in North Carolina! But the Bansey I hear in this version is less like Bansey and more like a brainless ghoul! There is no sign of misfortune or mourning.

In South Dakota's Badlands National Park, Bansey is said to have wailed on a hill near Watchdog Mound, and while similar to other American Bansey legends, this legend does not link Bansey to any death. ”

Xiao An: "Then it's not Banxibei?" ”

Michael: "But more than 30 people have died here, and the residents of the neighborhood often hear the sound of women crying, and the body will be found the next day after hearing the sound!" Although the legend is not the same as Bansey, the accident is exactly the same as Bansey's behavior! ”

Xiao An nodded, "Was that foretold death by Bancy or ...... What about being killed by Bansey? ”

Michael: "That's what I want to ask, so I have to find her today and ask what the hell is going on!" ”

Xiao An: "Oh, I see, then I understand, I'll help you find it!" ”

Michael smiled: "Thank you in advance!" By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet. ”

Xiao An: "Oh, I'm the Spirit Binding Envoy of the Huaxia Underworld, Zhao Xiao'an!" ”

Michael: "Underground? Is it the same as our hell? Is there really a hell? ”

Xiao An smiled, "There are fish in the world, why doesn't hell exist?" It's just that our underworld is different from your hell! ”

Michael nodded, "Okay, Zhao Xiaoan, I remember, then let's go?" Ann nodded, Michael turned over and said to Ann, "Do you want to ride together?" ”

Xiao Ann bowed his hand and rose directly into the air, one is to show his strength, and the other is to avoid this Michael from having any plans, after all, he only heard his words, if Michael doesn't know the Headless Horseman, he just wants to trick himself into entering the forest, so that Michael can dispel the idea of being unfavorable to himself!

When Michael saw Xiao Ann flying, he was shocked, "Wow! Magical Oriental! It's amazing how you can fly without wings! ”

Xiao An put his hands behind his back and behind his back, "There are many magical things!" Let's go! Let's go to the forest and find the Banshee! Michael also smiled and nodded, reined the horse's reins, and rushed into the forest behind him, Xiao An also followed, the outside of the forest is very normal, nothing special, but the more you go inside, the darker the color of the trees, the more withered trees, and when you go to the end, almost all around are pitch black, like trees with fangs and eyes! It makes people shudder, at this time, suddenly Xiao An felt something rush behind him, Michael suddenly stopped, rode on the horse and said, "Banshee!" Come out! ”
