Trick Seventy-Eight "The Yellow Wolf of the Five Immortals"
Wearing a yellow robe and a long beard, round eyes and black light, he loves to eat chicken, and he is sanctimonious and called a fairy family, and he is really good at bewitching and afraid of being bullied.
The Wong Tai Sin of the Five Immortals, that is, Huang Pizi, I think it should be the most famous and influential of the five, whether it is the three eastern provinces or the Central Plains, you can hear its legends. In some rural areas, it even smells yellow, saying that it can't mention its name or say bad things about it, and if it knows, it will come to your house and loot it that night.
In the deeds passed down by word of mouth, several obvious characteristics of Wong Tai Sin can be summarized, he is good at camouflage and confuses people's minds, he can do illusions, he likes to steal chickens and dogs, he is haunted, and he is very mysterious. But what makes it different from the other four immortals is that it has a strong ability to survive, and from another point of view, it appears in front of people the most, which can be understood as liking to live with humans.
As far back as I can remember, the first time I heard a story about Wong Tai Sin was from my second aunt, and at that time, every time after dinner, she would tell me and my brother twelve episodes of the weasel, which is twelve stories about it. Because I was too young when I first heard it, I can't remember the specific content of the twelve stories now, but I only vaguely remember the two that are more impressive.
There is a cow in the village who is bold, and he is lazy and lazy on weekdays, and his favorite thing is to drink and brag. But Niu Daring's family is poor, and there is not so much money for him to eat and drink, and after a long time, Niu Daring has figured out a way to eat and drink for free, that is, to go around to help people who do red and white ceremonies, and eat and drink by the way. In this way, the reputation of Niu Bold spread all over the country, and the master of the work did not dislike him, although he liked to eat and drink, but he did work hard, and there was another point, that is, everyone liked to listen to him brag.
For a while, there was not a single red and white celebration, which made Niu bold and anxious, and he wandered around the streets and alleys every day, and everyone was used to it, and when they saw him coming from afar, they told him in unison that there was no wine to eat today. In the evening of this day, Niu Daring walked around the village as usual, and as he walked, he saw a group of people sitting around the fire and chatting in front of him.
A group of people were chatting energetically, when they suddenly noticed the bold cow squeezed in, and one of them shouted loudly.
"Be bold, bold! There is a family in the neighboring village that has to do something for white tomorrow, you can go and help! ”
Niu Daring suddenly became interested when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to learn the details, and the other people sitting on the side looked at Niu Daring in a hurry, and laughed loudly, Niu Daring didn't care, just asked about the specific situation of the white matter. As soon as he got to know it, he knew that a middle-aged man in the neighboring village had died today, because it was a white-haired person who sent a black-haired person, so the haste of this white thing was short-lived.
Before dawn the next day, Niu Daring went out and went straight to the neighboring village, and when he arrived at the main house of the white business, there were already people busy, he didn't say a word and directly participated in it, most of the others knew him, and didn't say much. In this way, Niu Daring successfully rubbed a meal of food and drink, there is no free lunch in the world, for the last good meal, Niu Daring directly participated in the burial ceremony that night under the arrangement of the main family.
A group of people carried the coffin, under the leadership of the chief quickly completed the burial, and when they came back, it was close to nine o'clock in the evening, in order to thank everyone, the host made a few tables of good dishes and took out good wine to entertain. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the time was almost eleven o'clock, and there were few people on the wine table, and when Niu boldly drank the wine in the cup in front of him, the people were gone.
The cow staggered to his feet, took a bottle of wine and wrapped some leftovers, and after thanking the Lord's house, he walked towards the house in the dark. Many of the villages are connected by fields, and most of these fields have earth graves, and if the cows want to go home, they have to pass by a cemetery. Despite this, he was undaunted, and the nickname "Bold" was not called for nothing.
Niu Daring, who was humming a little song and walking on the way home, was in a good mood, even if he walked crookedly and his eyes were blurry and he couldn't see things clearly, it still couldn't affect his good mood. As he was walking, Niu boldly felt a pain in his stomach, and then a feeling of turning over the river and the sea rushed straight to his head, he looked around left and right, without thinking too much, raised his legs and ran to the back of several mounds, untying his trouser belt while running.
There was a commotion, and Niu Dada's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and at this moment, he suddenly noticed a small bright spot behind the earthen grave on the side. He had walked a lot at night, and naturally he had encountered ghost fires, but now the bright spot that appeared behind the grave was more like a kind of fire, and Niu boldly stared at the firelight. At this moment, I saw that the firelight suddenly jumped up and down, and as the firelight beat unhurriedly, the firelight gradually changed color at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A bad premonition slowly rose in Niu Daring's heart, this place is not too far from the village, and he usually passes by occasionally, but he has not found that this strange thing exists. No matter how bold and bold the cow was, he couldn't control his fear at this time, and at this critical moment, he saw that the firelight seemed to be much brighter, and what was even more terrifying was that at the moment when the firelight suddenly brightened, he vaguely saw a human head floating on the side of the firelight.
"Ah~"
The cow screamed boldly, grabbed his pants and ran, fleeing for his life while not forgetting to wrap the wine and food on the ground into his arms. After running a few steps, he heard an old cough behind him, and now Niu Daring was very sure that he was hitting a ghost, and the pace under his feet increased a little. About a quarter of an hour after running out, he should have run to the edge of the village as usual, but now it was still dark in front of him, and Niu Daring was cold in his heart, and half of his wine was sober.
Even though he knew that he had encountered a ghost hitting the wall, Niu Daring still ran forward desperately, running and running, he suddenly saw the fire just now in front of him, this time the difference was that in addition to the firelight, there was also a short old man. Niu Daring hurriedly stopped, let out another scream, turned around and ran backwards, ghosts hit the wall, ghosts hit the wall, and the soul of the living person hit the wall, no accident, he still did not escape from the maze set by the old man.
Until Niu Daring sat down on the ground exhausted, the old man was still standing not far in front, he gasped for breath, trembled and took out the wine and food from his bosom and placed it in front, begging for mercy.
"Ghost grandpa, ghost grandpa~ Please let me go, these drinks and dishes are filial to you, please spare my life!"
After a few minutes of kowtowing, he heard another cough in front of him, and he slowly raised his head and looked over, and this glance made him extremely frightened. Because just a meter away from him, the old man was lying on the ground strangely, gradually changing into a weasel with a wicked smile on his face, and a long yellow tail swaying from side to side behind the old man's back. Niu Daring could no longer control his emotions, and fainted with a scream, and before fainting, he also saw that the weasel still had a dry tobacco in his mouth.
In order not to live with their parents, a newly married couple found a vacant lot on the edge of the village to build a new house, which was a simple structure of three tiled houses and a courtyard. While digging the foundation, he found that there were many holes in the ground, but there was nothing in them, and he didn't care, so he filled them in and continued to build the house.
Soon the new house was built, and the parents at home were very happy about it, and the son was also considered to have started a family, and bought a lot of chickens and ducklings for the husband and wife to raise. The little couple lived a small life so peacefully, and after more than half a year, the chickens and ducklings also grew up, which made the two very happy, because the eggs laid by these chickens and ducks can not only be eaten but also sold on the street for money.
Life should have gone on like this, but strange things still happened, at first the wife found that the chickens in the house did not lay eggs for several days, and she didn't care, thinking that it was the chickens, but this situation appeared for more than a week. It was not until she found the broken eggshell in the coop that something was stealing the eggs, and she quickly told her husband about it.
The two of them discussed it and decided to stay up late at night to catch the egg thief, and soon, when it got dark, the two turned off all the lights and looked out through the crack in the door. After staring at it like this for a long time, the two of them were sleepy, and they felt a little unable to support it, and at this time, the sharp-eyed wife suddenly noticed a sneaky little figure on the courtyard wall.
The wife pulled her husband and motioned for him to look at the courtyard wall, and he only glanced at it and knew what it was. I saw the little thing tiptoe to the hen's coop, and then swayed from side to side as if drunk, and jumped twice from time to time, and after a while, it poked its head into the hen's coop, and strangely enough, the chickens in the hen's coop didn't make any movement.
The thief who had already identified the egg thief could no longer hold back, and pushed the door open violently, screaming loudly, and the little thing was startled by the sudden movement, and fled without looking back. The wife ran to the chicken coop to check, and the chickens inside were all curled up together, lying listlessly in a corner, as if enchanted. The husband told his wife to strengthen the chicken coop tomorrow, but he did not mention the egg thief, and the wife also tacitly agreed, because both of them knew that it was the yellow skin who stole the eggs, and he was a master who could not be provoked.
The days returned to normal, but it didn't take long for the wife to find that there were fewer chickens in the house, and if there were fewer eggs, they could lay again, but if there were fewer chickens, it would be a big deal. The wife took measures as soon as possible and enclosed all the chickens that were originally free-range at home, but within a few days, the chickens still disappeared inexplicably, and one disappeared each time. The wife was anxious and hurriedly discussed with her husband, but the two did not dare to assert what was going on, so they decided to catch the murderer first.
So the two of them still stayed aside and quietly observed, and that night, the two found that the little thing that stole the egg last time touched along the courtyard wall again, which made the wife unable to suppress the fire anymore, and pushed the door open, picked up a stone and threw it at the little thing, and scolded loudly.
"You damn yellow skin, you repeat and repeat, you are really a bully when we are!"
The yellow skin on the courtyard wall was startled, turned his head and wanted to run, but after hearing the scolding, he suddenly stopped running, turned his head to look at his wife who was scolding him in the courtyard, and his eyes revealed a sense of resentment. At this time, the husband also rushed out of the house, and when Huang Pizi saw another person running out of the opposite side, he fled.
I thought that the matter would end, but I didn't expect that something that made the husband and wife collapse even more happened, and only two days later, half of the chickens and ducks in the family died, and they were still tortured and killed. When the villagers heard the news, they rushed over to see the excitement, and one of the older people knew the cause and effect of the incident, and immediately said that this was Wong Tai Sin taking revenge, and told the two couples that there were many holes in Wong Tai Sin under the house.
This time the truth was revealed, it turned out that it was the two of them who built a house and occupied the hole of the yellow skin, which provoked the yellow skin to retaliate, but the matter has come to this point, it is impossible for them to move, let alone let the other half of the chickens and ducks in the family suffer. After discussing it with the family, I decided to bring a dog from a relative's house to watch the house, and the dog would not be afraid of yellow skin.
That night, the sleeping couple was awakened by a dog barking, and the two quickly got up to check, and found that the yard was full of bloodstains, and their own dog was barking at the courtyard wall. The two looked at the courtyard wall, and happened to meet the eyes of the yellow skin on the wall, and saw that the yellow skin was bleeding from one leg at this time, and it seemed to be broken, and the yellow skin glared at the husband and wife fiercely, and then limped away.
Half a year later, my husband unfortunately broke his leg when he went out, and coincidentally the leg he broke was the one that Huangpizi was bitten off by a dog, which may be the cycle of cause and effect and retribution.
