Chapter 167: Forty-six years old

What kind of church is this, is this a civil organization?

Wang Dashi can't make a clear judgment for the time being, but he has begun to be afraid. Legend has it that the church has an inexplicable power, as long as you step into the door of the church, you can't help but be obsessed with the church, even if the church organization is inhumane, these people will die for it. He didn't want to be a member of the church, and he kept reminding himself not to be misled.

The veiled stranger, who was in charge of the church, turned the pages and began to preach the legend of how the gods saved mankind and punished evil.

Wang Dashi didn't know that there was such a rule, so he hurriedly followed, but he didn't know that the person in charge was already standing at his side.

The steward asked, "When you entered the church, did you receive hymns?"

Wang Dashi was stunned for a moment and shook his head.

"How can you get the approval of the gods without accepting the hymn?" he grabbed Wang Dashi and said, "Go, you haven't accepted the hymn yet, you can't listen to the lecture here." Remember, you have to sing your praises first, and then drink the 'cup of soup' before you can become a true member of the church!"

Wang Dashi was dragged to another room and stood in the center, and then twelve blue-faced evil women walked in. Their general attire, their blue and black faces are covered with wrinkles, and their headscarves are circled from top to bottom, covering their chin and forehead, leaving only their eyes, the bridge of their noses and part of their faces, which makes them feel mysterious when they look at them.

Twelve green-faced evil women surrounded Wang Dashi in the center and sang a song humming and babbling. One of them took out a white strip of cloth and tied it around Wang Dashi's shoulder, and then brought a basin of water and a wisp of wicker, the water called itself fairy water, and the wicker called itself a fairy branch. The willow branches are fresh and tender, the branches and leaves are long, dipped in fairy water, and sprinkled on Wang Dashi's face. Wang Dashi smelled this fairy water, and felt dizzy and aching in an instant.

Wang Dashi cheered himself up, and the twelve blue-faced evil women opened the book and sang to the words and sentences in the book.

Fairy water is like ecstasy soup, and praise is like ecstasy spell.

Wang Dashi was in a coma, he couldn't be superstitious about the church, he silently recited the exorcism mantra, recalling the cycle of Xiao Zhoutian, to distract himself.

The so-called hymn is a song of praise, and after singing, Wang Dashi is a member of the church, and he can go to the main hall of the church to listen to the lecture of the head hall.

Wang Dashi came to his senses, and he asked: "Is it true that everyone who has heard the hymn will be obsessed with the church? ”

Only one of the twelve green-faced evil women was left, slowly sitting in front of Wang Dashi, holding a bundle of fetal pens, dipped in black water, and drew on Wang Dashi's face, chanting incantations while drawing, making Wang Dashi's eyes dizzy again.

The evil woman taught Wang Dashi and said, "I was born in the body of a god, and I am obsessed with it, so that I can get the destiny of God, and I can get the name of God and the command of God." What I want to give to God will be favored and protected by God. ”

Wang Dashi read it again, and suddenly felt that life had no meaning, and seemed to have the urge to join this sect.

"This, what's going on, how can there be such a weird ritual? I, I can't be confused by them? I, I can't join this church, I can't get addicted!" Wang Dashi thought.

The blue-faced evil woman wrapped him in a cloth, which was the end of the ceremony. Wang Dashi was led back to the main hall, found a vacant seat and sat down, and just as he sat down, he realized that the woman was next to him.

She said she was a woman, but she couldn't really see it, because they were all tightly wrapped.

The woman looked at him in a daze and asked, "Are you new to the company?"

Wang Dashi nodded and replied: "Yes, it's new, what kind of church is this, why did you join this church!"

The woman said: "My name is Nanyang Xiaolian, and the sect leader here is a stone man who fell from the sky, obtained the aura of a person, forged it into a physical body, and went down to the mortal world. Benevolence, Xuanmingde. Enter this church, keep peace, and carry the blessed star!"

"What, sect master? Is it the one who is in charge of the hall?" "The masters of the various sects and sects in the normal way can be called the sect leader, and this church is religious in nature, not the way of doing it, so why is it called the word "sect leader"? Wang Dashi wondered in his heart.

The woman nodded, "Yes, the one who is in charge of the church is the master of the church." ”

"He, he's a stone man from heaven, you, when did you join the church, what is your name, is it local?...... Wang Dashi saw her with a sad look in his eyes. Asked.

The woman replied, "My name is Nanyang Xiaolian, a man from the mountain of the tomb. ”

Not long ago, Wang Dashi saw a woman brought by Mr. Nanyang, the leader of the burial sect, who was Mr. Nanyang's sister and also called Nanyang Xiaolian. Wang Dashi didn't dare to admit it, but he was eager to confirm what he thought, so he asked: "Your name is Nanyang Xiaolian, who is Mr. Nanyang of the Burial Sect?"

Nanyang Xiaolian looked at Wang Dashi and didn't answer, but said: "The master of this sect is the god of heaven, forged into a physical body, came to the world, ate the fireworks of the world, and observed the warmth and coldness of the world. Now this world is too chaotic, the Ming Dynasty is not prosperous, internal and external troubles, the gods of heaven descend to the earth, observe the world, and find that human beings are not good, as long as people believe in this god, they can not die; if they do not believe in this god, and can not do good deeds, the gods will be angry, will bring disasters and wars. The spirits of the dead in disasters and wars will be unkind people. ”

When Wang Dashi heard this, he thought to himself: "Now the world is indeed very bad, but there are many good people! The gods cannot always take care of the good, if they can punish the wicked, then the world will not be so chaotic, and there will be no bullying of the weak." However, if this ruler is a god or a god possessed, since he is a god, why should he organize a church, just turn the wicked into good, why bother so hard!"

Nanyang Xiaolian continued: "Now that the world is in chaos, God will save all mankind, the deceitful and cunning people will be punished one by one, and those who are benevolent and obedient to the way of heaven will be blessed by God......" Then she lowered her voice and said to Wang Dashi, "The world has become bad, and God says that when you kill each other with a disaster and war, you can end all corrupt people, and only by joining this church can you enjoy a thousand years." ”

Wang Dashi didn't think there was anything wrong with this church just now, but as soon as he heard the words "enjoy a thousand years", he felt disgusted. He thought, "Why do you want to live for a thousand years? Is a thousand years of immortality the reason for you to join this church?—— what is preached here is charity, and I really don't know what the ultimate goal is. ”

Nanyang Xiaolian didn't answer for a while, closed her eyes and prayed silently.

Wang Dashi thought that Nanyang Xiaolian followed Mr. Nanyang to visit various sects and factions to pray for help, and the two had killed the spider spirit in Qingshiwa Village, and also treated Dafuyou. The purpose of Wang Dashi's trip was to solve the disturbance of his dream disaster, and he wanted to get more strange things about the burial sect from Nanyang Xiaolian's mouth, so as to facilitate the need to solve it.

After Nanyang Xiaolian finished praying, she knelt on the ground and bowed three times, then got up and said, "What to enjoy for a thousand years, I just want to be safe and sound!"

After speaking, Nanyang Xiaolian sighed. Wang Dashi saw the worry in her eyes, and she was miserable.

Wang Dashi knew that just because he joined this church, there must be real problems in front of him.

Nanyang Xiaolian exhaled deeply and said, "My health has been bad. My father had a total of five children, three of whom were older brothers and one older sister, and I was the youngest sister. My eldest brother, second brother, and only sister died one after another, and they all died strangely, all frozen at the age of forty-six. I remember that first the eldest brother died, which was his forty-sixth birthday, and then the second brother, who was also forty-six years old when he died, and the sister who died at the age of forty-six. My eldest brother, second brother and sister are all not much different in age. After this year, the third brother will be forty-six years old, whether there is a disaster, I don't know yet, if the third brother dies quietly, then it will be my turn later. I am my father's youngest daughter, because of the unknown cause of death, I never thought of getting married, so I didn't dare to marry, and I still accompany my third brother...... So joining this church is only praying for God's protection. ”

The third brother mentioned by Nanyang Xiaolian is Mr. Nanyang.

After hearing this, Wang Dashi was very surprised and continued to interrogate.

Nanyang Xiaolian shook her head with Wang Dashi and said, "I can't say it, no one can save it, what our family is in is a dream disaster!"

"The disturbance of the dream disaster?" Wang Dashi had heard what Mr. Nanyang had said, but he only had a cursory understanding. Since the purpose of this trip is to solve the disturbance of the dream disaster, why don't you listen to Nanyang Xiaolian in detail? He frowned and listened to Nanyang Xiaolian continue.

Thinking of the sad thing, Nanyang Xiaolian sobbed, very helpless and pitiful. She wiped away her tears and roughly recounted what was happening at home.

In the past, the burial faction was a big sect in the land of Xiaoxiang, which was specialized in the funeral industry, and the local people settled at the foot of the village, as long as there was a funeral, it was all handled by the burial faction.

The funeral arrangements are complicated, such as moving the body, washing the body, dressing, entering the coffin, finding the hole, locating, digging the hole, carrying the coffin, burial, sealing the soil...... There are a lot of steps and procedures that need to be completed. According to the division of labor in the burial faction according to the steps and procedures, it is divided into two factions. From washing the corpse, dressing, entering the coffin, and then carrying the coffin, sealing the soil is divided into one dang, commonly known as entering the coffin; There is a ruler in each of the two countries, and the person who walks in the way is called the person in the middle, and the ruler is called the master.

Nanyang Guigong is the head of the burial faction, and he has five pairs of children under his knees, in order, the eldest and the second are all sons, the third is the elder sister, the fourth is the son Mr. Nanyang, and the fifth is the daughter Nanyang Xiaolian.

Although he was born in the burial school, the eldest is not interested in Qimen Dunjia and funeral customs, but he has a special fondness for qin, chess, calligraphy and painting; the second is a simple person, relying on a pair of hard-working hands to hold the family; the third child married out early and followed the customs of the country; the fourth person is called Mr. Nanyang, ranked fourth in the family, the most shrewd and capable, won the weight of his father Nanyang Guigong, when he was young, he was the leader of the cave search, and was the famous Nanyang master of the local school, inheriting the mantle of his father, and inherited the position of the head of the burial school after the death of his father Nanyang Guigong.

When entering the coffin, it is necessary to master some folk customs such as washing the corpse, entering the coffin, carrying the coffin, and sealing the soil into the burial;

The burial faction specializes in the funeral industry, and it is a big faction in the road, with a righteous style, and never has the slightest crooked thoughts about the ancient tombs. I don't know what's going on, one day, Nanyang Guigong had a strange dream, in the dream, he was in a huge black hole, there were many people in the cave, these people were dressed strangely, holding bamboo slips and scrolls in their hands and chanting, after reading, they knelt down to Nanyang Guigong. Since then, the turtle has often dreamed this dream, and has been dreaming it every day since then...... He couldn't stand the haunting of dreams. This dream seems to be a bad foreshadowing......

At that time, Nanyang Guigong was still very young, and in order to restrain this ominous dream, Nanyang Guigong decided to find an object, which is said to be hidden deep in an ancient tomb.

After several turns, Nanyang Guigong went to explore the ancient tomb, went deep into the tomb, and when he returned, he found an arm-like thing at the edge of the ancient tomb, and brought this thing up. Nanyang Guigong put out this arm-like thing, and some people said that this thing can cure diseases, and it can grow on its own when buried in the ground. Nanyang Guigong buried it in the corner of the courtyard at that time.

At that time, Nanyang Guigong was only in his twenties, and later, he got married and gave birth to five children.

The children are getting older, and Nanyang Guigong is already in his sixties, and his health is getting worse. One year, he dug up the arm-like things that were buried in the corner of the courtyard and ate them. In a flash, more than 40 years have passed, and the arm-like things buried in the ground have not died, but have grown a lot. At that time, there was still an old mulberry tree in the yard, bearing big mulberry fruits, and Nanyang Guigong ate the arm-like things and mulberry fruits every day.

Soon, the old Nanyang Turtle Male had faded his teeth and grew a mouthful of white and strong teeth, and he had grown a jet-black hair after he had been bald and had no hair. People say that Nanyang Guigong has taken away the prosperity of his children and grandchildren. Soon, Nanyang Guigong's new tooth fell out, and his eldest son died; a year later, Nanyang Guigong's tooth fell out again, and his second son died again; another year later, Nanyang Guigong's tooth fell out again, and then the third child who was married far away died......

Nanyang Xiaolian cried and continued: "My father is already old, but at this time he has a new tooth, and the old man who is bald and sparse suddenly has a black hair, which really surprised the children at that time, and was even more happy. Since the death of the eldest son, some people have said that the rejuvenation of the elderly is a common thing, but it happens in Taoism and Buddhism, and those who cultivate the Tao and participate in Buddhism do not eat the fireworks of the world, but penetrate the complexity of the world and focus on cultivation. If an ordinary layman is rejuvenated, it must not be a good sign, it is the old man who has robbed his children and grandchildren of their prosperity and harmed them (this is pure rumor) ......"

Nanyang Guigong died three children, leaving only Mr. Nanyang and Nanyang Xiaolian. The death of the three children was forty-six years old, and Mr. Nanyang, the elder brother of Nanyang Xiaolian, was forty-six years old when he turned the year.

Wang Dashi was stunned, but he didn't know that there were so many strange things in the world, and they were extremely weird, so that people couldn't intervene in the search. He couldn't help but think of what he had said about the local mountain people he had met at the foot of the Tomb Mountain.

At that time, there was a family in the Tomb Mountain, which the mountain people said, that grew an arm and a sacred tree, and ate the fruit of the arm and the sacred tree to cure diseases. A bald head grows hair after eating, and an old man with toothless teeth can grow a mouthful of shiny teeth after eating...... It is said that after the growth of hair, it is the old man who has the yin of his children and grandchildren, and since the man has grown teeth and hair, every year or two, one of the children in the family dies. The old man has five children, and at present, three have died...... The mountain people were afraid that such a strange death would come to them......

The main family that the mountain people said must be the burial faction. It's just that Nanyang Xiaolian said in a little detail.

The purpose of the local school is to 'do good deeds and help the world', and visit the people to exorcise evil spirits and take refuge. Although he was expelled from the local sect by Huang Xiuxian, the purpose of saving the people and accumulating virtue and doing good will never change. Wang Dashi questioned and thought to himself: "If there is really such a mysterious thing, since it is so mysterious, then what does it have to do with the 'snake spirit curse' that Old Man Muqiu talked about?"

Nanyang Xiaolian wanted to speak, but suddenly closed her mouth again. She sighed and shook her head: "Needless to say, if you talk about it, you can't finish it in a day and a night......!"

When Wang Dashi first heard what Nanyang Xiaolian said, he already had a lot of questions in his heart, such as: The burial faction has a decent style and strict rules, as the leader of the burial faction at that time, why did Nanyang Guigong go to the ancient tomb, and what did they do in the ancient tomb? What is it that looks like an arm that can be eaten? What do these things have to do with the "snake spirit story" in the earth tomb mountain told by the old man Muqiu? Since there is a legend of the snake spirit here, presumably this snake spirit must exist.

Wang Dashi originally wanted to ask to understand, but after seeing Nanyang Xiaolian sighing, tears flowed down his eyes, and then he was silent.

It is not appropriate to say much here. Wang Dashi didn't ask any more, at this moment, he thought of the disturbance of the dream disaster and the brothers and sisters who died one after another, and he couldn't help but feel lost in his heart.
