Jianghu Dream Chapter 12: Who has added new pain
Ten years ago
In Yalin Village, there is a woman in the mirror with flowers and rouge, in front of the dresser with a red gauze tent, a sunflower-shaped copper mirror reflects the reflection of people, with a phoenix crown and red lips and teeth. The woman held a pear blossom wooden comb, slowly combed her hair from top to bottom, smiled lightly, and sang softly in her mouth.
Lin Wanjing is very happy today, for a woman, the happiest day in her life is the day of marriage, for her, it is today.
"Wanjing, hurry up, people can't wait!" someone called outside.
"It's here, Mother Wu!" Lin Wanjing quickly packed up her things and replied as she cleaned up.
The man's family is a large family in Wenju Village, surnamed Wang. I heard that it was the matchmaker Wu Ma who took a long time to talk about it. She has seen the eldest son of the Wang family, just two years ago, he was a polite scholar, and his appearance was okay, but he looked a little weaker. But it doesn't matter, she is not a picky person, she knows that her family is not rich, the two elders are already old, and there are two younger brothers who are still studying in the private school in the village, and the burden on the family is indeed a little heavier. So I just want to get married as soon as possible to reduce the pressure on my family, where do I still want to choose a moral Langjun. And she still has to listen to the orders of her parents, the words of the matchmaker, otherwise she will not be able to bear the name "Wanjing" that his father asked for for her to go to the temple, "filial piety and carefulness, graceful and polite".
And although she has never read a book and can't read a few words, she often listens to the older generation talk about how good and gentle those literati are, and how dedicated they are to their wives, and she is still satisfied from the bottom of her heart to have a literati husband.
After she finished packing up her things, Wanjing looked at herself in the mirror again, and the people in it were full of spring light, peach cheeks and smiles, and they were indescribably gentle. She pursed her red lips lightly, smiled again, charming and moving, and walked out of the door dignified and generous.
"Oh, my aunt, you can figure it out!" The matchmaker Wu Ma hurriedly stepped forward, took her hand and walked out, there was a big red sedan chair parked outside the door, the sedan car was pasted with the word Xi, and the big red flower made of red silk was hung.
Wu's mother handed over a piece of red silk cloth, which was also sealed with red characters, and advised: "Once this red hijab is covered, you can't just lift it, as the old saying goes, 'once the hijab is lifted, disaster will happen' is not a joke." ”
Lin Wanjing nodded lightly and said, "Mother Wu, I know, don't worry. ”
Wu's mother smiled and said, "Then don't hesitate, get on the sedan chair, don't let the man wait for a long time." ”
Lin Wanjing nodded, put on the red hijab and got on the sedan chair.
"Get up!" shouted!
Then the brisk suona sounded, and the gongs and drums were noisy!
The matchmaker, Mother Wu, has been following the sedan chair and telling Lin Wanjing about some things that need attention.
"After getting married, you can't play with your temper!"
"If you are wronged, you can't just go back to your parents' house, you will be disliked. ”
"I usually do more housework, but I can't be pampered. ”
"Have a good relationship with the man's family, especially the mother-in-law. ”
......
Lin Wanjing listened silently throughout the whole process, and occasionally replied with one or two answers.
The sedan chair swayed, Lin Wanjing's heart also swayed, uneasy, but full of expectation, just like thousands of ants climbed into her heart, but it was not ten thousand ants that ate her heart, but it was just constantly stirring her heart, so that she couldn't help but fantasize about the better days in the future.
She thought she would have a pair of lovely children, a loving husband, and she would teach her daughter how to knit sweaters, how to weave flower ropes, and how to put on makeup.
She wants to be a virtuous wife and the most solid pillar behind her husband. not only help him cook and wash, but also help him grind ink and wash inkstone, so that he has no worries and can do his knowledge and test his fame with peace of mind.
She wants to make sure that her in-laws can't find faults, obey their wishes, do everything herself, serve their daily life, and let them identify with themselves from the bottom of their hearts.
Lin Wan thought about it, thought a lot, and asked, "Mother Wu, what about my father, why didn't I see them just now." ”
Wu's mother didn't answer for a while, and then said: "Your father and mother have already gone to the man's house before you, and they will be there when the church gets married, don't worry." ”
Wu's mother said again: "And in the future, you can't always think about this family, the daughter who marries out is the water that is spilled, and you are not a member of this family when you leave this house, and you will always think about the original home, and your in-laws will be unhappy." ”
"Well, I know Mama Wu, I'm just curious to ask. ”
The wind in July was hot, blowing Lin Wanjing's heart was also hot, and she was really looking forward to it. What would that day be like?
It was only half an hour away, how could it be as if she had lived all her life? It was as if she had gone through all the days she had spent before, and in an instant the girl who had grown up quietly was about to marry a wife. Time flies.
"Here we are. Mother Wu was outside the window and said softly.
"Stop the sedan chair!" the proud son stopped, and Wu's mother took the bride's hand and walked out of the sedan chair.
In the distance, firecrackers rang out, and someone danced with streamers in hand. Today is a festive day!
"Watch out for the steps!" Wu Ma reminded softly as she crossed the door.
At this time, a man came over with a bowl of water in his hand and said, "The bride wants to drink this bowl of water, this is the rule of our family." ”
Although Lin Wanjing felt strange, she could understand that each family had its own rules, and these were normal.
In order to prevent the red hijab from falling, Wu's mother helped her grab the hijab, and she took the bowl of water and drank it in one go.
The man gave way and said, "Please come inside!"
Lin Wanjing stepped over the steps, her heart pounding with every step, she was too nervous.
Later, she didn't take a few steps but felt dizzy, her red head covered her vision, she couldn't see the front but saw her feet overlapping, shadows and shadows, she walked and staggered, and finally stumbled and fainted to the ground.
After sending Lin Wanjing through the door, Wu's mother left quickly, as if fleeing for her life, and after Lin Wanjing fainted, someone closed the door, dispersed the band and visitors, and lifted Lin Wanjing into the lobby of the back room.
"Open the stuff! put the people in!" someone shouted.
"Lock it up for me, don't let her wake up and open it!" the man continued.
When everything was ready, the man spoke, "Alright, let's go on our way!"
It's the suona again, but it's different from the usual light and short, this time the suona sound is longer, the neighing is like a ghost crying wolf, if you have experience, you will understand that this is the suona song of the underworld marriage.
The Wang family is a family with a big surname in Wenqu Village, although it is not as good as those families in the county, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a hand covering the sky in Wenqu Village, and it is a complete snake.
Although it is a big family, but the family is not prosperous in this generation, there is only one son and two daughters, I thought it was the woman's problem, so I found one concubine after another but found that I still couldn't give birth to a son, so I had no choice but to accept my fate.
Because of this, I love this only son very much, and the son is very promising, and likes to read and write. The family sent him to the academy in the county town as early as possible to study, hoping that one of the illiterate families for generations could be admitted to the imperial examination, and he didn't have to be very successful, that is, he just made one or two fames.
But this child is frail and sickly, and he often reads at night, no matter how much he tries to persuade him to rest more. Finally, one day when she got up in the morning, the maid saw him lying on the desk, and at first she thought he was sleepy and asleep, so she covered him with a quilt, and when her hand touched him, she found that he was cold and cold.
The only son in the family died, and the old man was of course very sad, but he was helpless, and remembered that his son had mentioned a woman by chance, saying that he had met her on the road, who was dignified and beautiful, and had a good temperament. was ruthless and determined to help his son get a secret marriage.
Another Taoist priest was invited to do it, and after the Taoist priest made a turtle shell and a copper coin, he said: "His son has a heavenly fire physique in his life, and he needs to find a woman who is the main wood in his life to burn it for him, so that the heavenly fire in the underworld can not be extinguished." ”
They searched for several surrounding villages and finally found such a woman, who was destined to be the main wood, and she was dignified and beautiful and had a good temperament, and she contacted the matchmaker to ask for this matter regardless of whether her son said this person or not. coerced and enticed, and finally got the matchmaker to agree to facilitate the matter, and wasted all his efforts to deceive the woman's parents and let them marry the woman. Poor her parents, they may not know that they have been fooled until now. In the end, the Taoist chief chose a "good day and auspicious day" and chose to perform this play on the first day of July when the ghost gate was opened.
Now everything is in place, just go to the buried.
When Lin Wanjing woke up, she found herself in a closed box, pitch black, the smell was unpleasant, only the loud suona sound outside the box was clear to her ears, and then she also felt a stiff and cold thing pressed underneath. But because it was so dark inside, she couldn't see clearly.
She was a little frightened, banged on the box, and shouted, "Is there anyone?
She shouted for a long time, but no one answered, and her heart was even more frightened. At this time, her eyes gradually adjusted to the dark environment, and she could see what was pressing down and where she was now.
It was a miserable white face, a lifeless face, so cold that it sent chills to the bottom of the heart, and she was in a coffin.
Lin Wanjing realized it immediately, and she was frightened, slapping around wildly, and shouting with all her strength, "Someone, help! Wu Ma! Wu Ma!"
Outside, a group of people dressed in sackcloth and wearing scarves on their heads, as if they didn't hear her shouts, walked with their own coffins.
The leader was a Taoist priest in a yellow robe, and the Taoist priest had yellow paper in his hand all over the sky, and he was chanting words in his mouth, just like chanting scriptures.
He said, "Go to the southwest road!"
He also kept shaking the bell in his hand and jingled the bell.
Lin Wanjing tried to push the coffin away, but found that she couldn't push the coffin at all, she could only keep kicking the coffin with her feet, hitting the coffin with her hands, and screaming loudly, and the coffin was beaten to a loud bang.
But no one paid attention to her, she was cut off from the world like air.
The dark clouds gathered, the sky and the earth were dark, as if they were covered with a black curtain, it was clear that it was day but it was like night, and it began to rain, and the raindrops the size of beans ticked on the coffin board, one after another.
"Someone, help me! Please, God, someone, help me!" she kept shouting, her voice was hoarse, her hands were shattered from grabbing the plank for a long time, her two feet kept kicking, and her toes were bleeding.
The torrential rain was falling wildly, the bright lightning was shuttling through the air like a silver snake, illuminating the whole world again and again, the rumbling thunder was deafening, as if it could shatter anything, the wind roared, and slammed the raindrops on the coffin, the wind blew on the bells and made a scream of "woo-woo-woo", one after another lightning pierced the dark sky, and the dull thunder was like the roar of a beast. The roads have also become muddy, making it difficult to walk. The suona stopped, and the only thing along the way was the girl's hoarse cry for help. One after another, from time to time, gradually weakened by fatigue.
She was desperate, she really didn't want to struggle anymore, and this life was over, but she hated, hated the world, why did she do this to her? Why did she let her die like this? She didn't understand, why? Why her? She was still so young, she should have a great future and a bright future, but now she was going to die! She suddenly felt ridiculous, any husband and children, filial piety to parents are all lies, she is still looking forward to so many futures, where is the future, bullshit future! She doesn't have any future at all, she's just a plaything who has been tricked into being sacrificed! She's not afraid of death, she just doesn't accept dying like this, dying meaninglessly!
Suddenly, Lin Wanjing's eyes were vicious, and a faint light emitted in the dark coffin, as terrifying as if she was going to eat people, she wanted revenge! She wanted to kill all these people, leaving no one behind! She wanted to become a powerful ghost and curse these people who killed her for generations!
Suddenly thunder roared, and a lightning bolt fell from the sky, which just hit the coffin, and all the people who carried the coffin died, and the coffin fell to the ground.
Everyone was panicked and stepped back, not daring to take half a step closer to the coffin.
The yellow-robed Taoist priest led by him suddenly stood still and pinched the trick, "The sky thunders and the earth fires, the lightning strikes the wood, and the wood lands on the ground!"
"I want to be a corpse!" The Taoist priest looked frightened, and he didn't care about the lives of others, he pinched the talisman paper and fled in a hurry, embarrassed.
Lin Wanjing in the coffin was already dying, but after the coffin landed, a cold corpse gas came out of the mouth of the dead corpse and was inhaled by her.
Lin Wanjing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes in an instant, those eyes were blood-red, and then turned from red to black, she felt that her whole body was full of strength, and she jumped up, and the coffin was broken by her from the inside out.
At this time, Lin Wanjing was fierce, grabbed the person closest to her, and bit down from the neck, and the person turned into a dried corpse in a blink of an eye. And Lin Wanjing's body changed drastically, her fingers became longer, her black eyes became even darker, and there were bloodshots flowing in her originally white neck, which looked extremely terrifying.
The Taoist priest miscalculated, not the corpse but the person who became a ghost.
Seeing this, the others scattered and fled, shouting, "Help, you've become a ghost!"
Lin Wanjing didn't have any reason at this time, she just maintained her last obsession as a human being, to take revenge!
She rushed into the fleeing crowd and went on a killing spree. Some were torn in half by her, some were gouged out by her, and some were dug out by her...... The method was extremely cruel, and for a time the entire ground was littered with broken corpses. And Lin Wanjing's skills increased greatly in this process, and her hair was scattered and flying, which looked extremely weird on a rainy night.
After a while, these mortals were all killed by her, and she saw the fleeing Taoist priest in the distance, in the heavy rain, she rushed over, muddy water splashed, the Taoist priest looked at the female ghost behind him came quickly, panicked, very scared, the yellow paper talisman in his hand was scattered indiscriminately, and the yellow paper was flying all over his head, but he found that it was useless at all.
He was originally just a bum, and he was lucky enough to pick up a copy of "Qimen Dunjia", and he didn't study it thoroughly, so he came out to swagger and deceive, and he was chased and beaten by some big families who knew how to do it, but there was no way for him to live, and he was unwilling to do that chorescent work all his life, and he lived a life of inaction, so he continued to live a frightened life, adding blood to the tip of the knife. In the long run, he has also found some real ways, but because he has no guidance from his teacher, he has taken a lot of detours, and he knows the so-called Taoism, but most of them are full of loopholes and deviations. For example, the simplest method of identifying corpses just now, he can count the transformation of the living into a ghost as a dead person.
Such a remote village, just let him run into the Wang family who had just died of his son, and after a few conversations, he found that no one in the Wang family understood yin and yang, and he was a complete rural turtle, so he began to let go of his hands and feet and talk nonsense. first talked nonsense with the Wang family about the five elements of life, how profound and how to come, and turned the Wang family around one by one. It is also a guarantee that their son's corpse will not rot for three months, and after three months, the corpse is not corrupted, in fact, he uses the excuse of casting spells every day to apply special antiseptic ointment to the corpse, but how can this group of turtles see it, one by one believe it is true, and think that he is really a great mage who has achieved cultivation, and he is like a god.
After that, everything went smoothly, counting the eight characters and doing the ghost marriage, not once or twice, and I was already familiar with the road. It doesn't matter what his life is, it's good to have money anyway.
However, this time there was an accident, which he didn't expect, but he was ready to send it. Now that it's happened, he has to figure out how to escape for his life.
Let's get past the female ghost first.
The Taoist priest took out a red talisman from his cuff, this is a real Taoist talisman, which he spent a great deal of money to get, it belongs to fire, just enough to restrain the female ghost of the main wood of the life.
While fleeing for his life, the Taoist priest recited words in his mouth, and suddenly scolded: "Heavenly Fire Thunder God, thunder from all directions." Earth fire and thunder god, subduing demons and removing essences. The evil spirit will go quickly, and I will give my emperor's life. Haste as a law. Tiangang Five Thunder Mantra, go!"
The Taoist priest pointed a finger, and the talisman flew towards the female ghost, straight to the gate of heaven.
The female ghost suddenly smoked on her face and screamed miserably, which made people feel creepy. But immediately, the female ghost actually endured the severe pain and tore off the talisman. His face was bloody, and he looked terrifying.
In fact, if it weren't for the Taoist priest's greed for life and fear of death, he started to flee for his life early, completely ignoring the life and death of those people, causing the female ghost to quietly absorb the essence of too many people, and her skills increased greatly, and now this talisman will not be broken free by her.
The Taoist priest was shocked when he saw that the female ghost had actually broken free from the shackles of the talisman on his own, and quickly took out another talisman from his belt, which was a cyan talisman, different from the previous red attack talisman, this talisman did not hurt at all, because its function was to escape, the Taoist priest put the talisman on his body and shouted: "Ride the dragon for thousands of miles, don't dare to scold!"
In the pouring rain, it disappeared in a short time.
The female ghost Wanjing couldn't catch up with the Taoist priest, and she was extremely unwilling in her heart, and roared in the heavy rain, and the sound was so loud that it resounded throughout the mountains and forests.
Later, the female ghost ran to the Wang family again, killed all the men, women and children of the Wang family, and killed the matchmaker Wu Ma. Then he hid in the deep forest. A few days later, Lin Wanjing came to her senses and recalled that she had done a lot of work these days, only to realize that she had killed too many people, and thought that she had settled herself, but after becoming a female ghost, she found that she couldn't do it even if she wanted to die, because there was still a resentment that had not dissipated, that is, to kill the Taoist priest. The ghost path is like this, unless it is overtaken by others, otherwise only by completely resolving the resentment can you get out of the ghost path, as for whether it is reincarnation or other ways to get out of the ghost way.
The female ghost has been hiding in the mountains since then, and because she can't see the light, she has never gone out.
When the sky was dark, it was drizzling.
There is a woman in the mirror with flowers, rouge full of face, in front of the dresser with red gauze tents, a sunflower-shaped copper mirror reflects the reflection of people, phoenix crowns, red lips and teeth. The woman held a pear blossom wooden comb, slowly combed her hair from top to bottom, smiled lightly, and sang softly in her mouth.
Just smiling and laughing, tears flowed silently, and the tears were slightly reddish, similar to blood.
There is a shepherd boy riding a ox, and the sound of the flute is melodious and tactful, echoing in the mountains and forests.
The rain is heavy, the grass and trees in the old hometown are deep, and who has added new pain.
