No. 189 Ghost Dingniang
Old Man Muqiu slowed down and found a stone to sit down. He was already very old, and everything that happened around the tomb mountain was recorded in a book, compiled into a book. This thick book not only preserves the strange things that have happened in the local area in recent decades, but also records some of the events that happened in the area of Tomb Mountain a long time ago, but some of them are legends. Recorded and compiled according to the narration of the preacher. Some are legends of the Tomb Mountain, some are real events, and of course, there are also amazing events that the old man of Muqiu has seen and experienced with his own eyes.
He was rigorous and conscientious, conscientious in compiling books, and sought truth from facts. According to the nature of the record, mark the title page of the record content, so that you can distinguish whether it is a legend, a rumor, a true situation, or a person who has seen it with your own eyes.
Old Man Muqiu finally found a record of the mystery of the Flipping Beast in the album of the book, which was something he had seen and experienced with his own eyes.
We have to start slowly.
The old man Muqiu said to Mr. Nanyang and Nanyang Xiaolian: "At that time, you were not born yet, in a flash, it has been decades, presumably your father Nanyang Gong has been busy all day long, and has never told you—— when your father Nanyang Guigong was the head of the burial faction, this strange thing happened under my eyelids." ”
Since they hadn't been born yet, Mr. Nanyang and Nanyang Xiaolian shook their heads silently, expecting Old Man Muqiu to continue.
The old man Muqiu has said so much, but he has not yet got to the point, and the group does not know what happened at that time, nor does they know what the old man Muqiu wants to talk about and what is the meaning of saying it.
Daifuku was anxious and said: "Hey, what's there to talk about? The foot flip beast, after all, is a beast, just talking about people, that is, the beast and people learned such a sentence and two words, if you let it talk again, it may not be able to speak! The foot flip beast hid in the hole, let's pull it out, first castrate it, and then scald it with boiling water, and peel off the thick hair and black skin together to make a cotton robe, wearing that robe, it is called majestic. - Mr. Fengyou, then let's cut its meat into shreds, mix it and roll it out with our hands!"
The custom monk said: "You don't leave food and clothing, what else do you have! Fucking hippie, human feet flip and eat carrion, you also let me mix noodles and eat this brute meat, why don't you give me that hair!"
Daifuku right smiled and said: "Okay, then you can take this hair and mix noodles, black and white, a wisp, that is comfortable to look at, comfortable to eat!"
"Phew, you're disgusting!" the Wind Wandering Monk scolded.
The two were arguing. Ouyang Ziyun listened and laughed.
After a pause, Old Man Muqiu finally told him about the Foot Flip Beast......
- Said that there was once a villager at the foot of the Tomb Mountain, who raised a rice donkey, short in size and with light skin. Born with a strong temper, he does everything hard, saying east to west, south to north, known as a twisted donkey.
When the donkey grows up, it smashes the soles of its feet, puts on a saddle sheath, and ties a wooden cart to the back of its buttocks. Villagers use donkeys to transport goods. At that time, the tomb mountain was very popular, and the villagers were surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the sun was abundant.
The burial sect stands on top of the burial hill, and there are several trails winding around the mountain, and there is frequent traffic. The villagers drove the donkeys to do some business at the bottom of the mountain, pulling goods and carrying people, and the donkeys were of great use.
Once, when the villagers were driving the rice donkey back, they met a cripple on the way, who dragged along the mountain road with heavy steps. The mounds in the mountains are all mountain roads, sheep intestine paths, and the cripple does not pay any attention to the donkey cart behind him.
The donkey cart follows behind, and it can't be overtaken, and it's too grinding to follow behind.
The villager was a little anxious, so he shouted for the cripple to give way, and the cripple, pretending to be blind behind his ears and eyes, walked and walked in the middle of the road to rest, blocking the way of the donkey cart.
The villager was anxious, and the donkey was also anxious, how to persuade him, but the cripple did not move at all.
The villagers had to put the cripple on the donkey cart and give him a ride, so that there would be no delay.
As the saying goes, "Seventy doesn't stay overnight, eighty doesn't leave food"
This sentence means that the old man is a dangerous period, when he is seventy years old, he will not dare to keep it anymore, and when he is eighty years old, he will not leave food, but he is afraid that the old man will close his eyes and this life will pass.
The villager had never heard this, so he helped the old man into the cart and drove the donkey.
The donkey has a strong temper, and when it encounters something that does not go well, it will go crazy, and the lame old man blocks its way, which makes it irritable, and he sees that he still gets into the carriage behind him, but he does not go.
The villagers were also angry, picked up the long whip and poured gas on the donkey's buttocks, and with two "pop" sounds, the donkey was beaten into two puffs of green smoke, and its hooves flew like flying, and it ran up.
The cripple on the car is like a rare year, where can it be tossed.
"You brute, you don't change your temper at all, and I'll kill you!" the villager picked up his long whip again and struck the donkey on the ass.
The donkey was convinced by the lesson, and his steps slowed down, but he was not serious, and walked towards the uneven place, dragging the cart upside down, making a clattering sound.
When they finally reached the intersection, the villagers asked the cripple in the carriage to know where to go and which way to go.
The cripple was silent.
The villagers got out of the car, opened the car door, and the cripple was lying leaning inside, his eyes closed, already dead.
The villagers were so anxious that they didn't know what to do, and they were afraid that they would be discovered, so they wanted to throw him out of the car and hide him in the deep forest.
The villagers looked along the surrounding mountains, and here, there was a mountain road that led directly to the burial sect, where the dead were taken care of.
After sprinkling some rations and feeding the donkeys from the sacks that accompanied the car, the villagers showed the way and drove the donkeys to the burial and hid in the woods themselves.
When the Burial Sect saw a donkey carrying a dead man, it was conventionally assumed that this was a poor man, so they unloaded the dead man, placed it in a simple coffin, and hastily buried it in the soil.
When the villagers saw the donkey returning, they went up and opened the carriage, and there was no one left, but there was a man sitting in it, who was one of the members of the burial sect.
After inquiry, I learned the ins and outs of this matter.
......
Old Man Muqiu sighed slightly when he said this. After all, he is old, his old eyes are dizzy, and his narration is a little slow. At this moment, he straightened up, folded the page, closed it, clamped it under his armpit, and picked up his arm and thumped it towards his waist.
When the wind wandering monk saw it, he hurriedly ran forward, helped him shine the light, and then used his other hand to help beat his waist.
Daifuku sighed and whispered: "Hey, it's really hard to say! When I drank mulberry wine with you, I saw your mouth open like a scoop, this, this speech is so slow, but it is like a petal cotton, pulling it with your hands, slowly! Moreover, after talking so much, it seems that it has nothing to do with people's foot flips. ”
I saw that the old man Muqiu took out the book, took out the booklet and turned over two pages, and then said: "Since there is this precedent, it is not long before another incident happens. ......”
One day, when the sun was scorching, and the man was tired of driving, he parked his donkey cart in the shade of a tree, and went to sleep in the carriage behind him. Perhaps the man's death was limited, and the donkey sent him to the burial party. The Burial sect placed the villagers in idle coffins. The family of the deceased brought the coffin home and asked the burial party to arrange the funeral.
Wife and children guard the coffin. On the night of the same day, there was a "thump" sound in the coffin, which was heard every once in a while, which shocked the whole family to be unstable. At that time, the family had a big wolf cat, which was stout but like a small leopard, and the patterns on his body were round and round, mixed with spots. The most taboo for dead corpses is to encounter large animals that exhale rough breath, and it is easy to provoke corpses. When there was a strange noise inside the coffin, everyone suspected the big wolf cat, believing that it had contaminated the corpse and caused the corpse to change.
The lid of the coffin rattled and trembled slightly, and the corpse had been transformed, as if it was about to burst out. At this time of emergency, the craftsmen of the burial sect took out iron nails to seal the coffin. The nails smashed down the edge of the coffin lid, and there was a terrible scream from inside the coffin, and then bright red blood flowed along the edge of the lid.
The wife and children are crying, and the louder the cry, the more urgent the movement in the coffin. At this moment, the crowd was shocked, and before the funeral was completed, they urged the coffin to be buried in the ground.
After two months, on the day of Halloween, the local custom is to burn paper to send money and prepare food and drinks.
After the villagers died, no one dared to come because of the corpse mutiny. On Halloween, his father made wine, circled tin foil, opened a spoon and prepared food, and came to the grave.
However, after this time, he never returned, and waited for year after year, but he never saw a shadow, and he did not know what had happened, and later, he heard that a skeleton had been found near the grave.
So there was a "ghost ding"
The so-called "ghost ding" is actually a ghost that bites his relatives until the relatives die one after another.
There is also a folk legend about the ghost ding niang, saying that the ghost can smell frankincense, attach it to the baby's body, go to suck the milk S water, and suck the milk S water dry.
