Chapter 688: Lingering Pictures
During the feudal dynasty period in China, the worst thing was the daughter-in-law of a small family and the concubine of a large family.
In small households, the daughter-in-law is angry, anyone can be bullied, and she can be wantonly beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law, but she does not dare to resist, this situation has continued until the Republic of China, and even in the sixties and seventies.
In that era, the daughter-in-law couldn't eat at all, she could only eat in the kitchen, and she didn't even have her own dishes and chopsticks.
At that time, the mother-in-law didn't treat her daughter-in-law as a human being at all, and beat and scolded her at every turn. It seems that after they become mothers-in-law, the grievances they have suffered in the past will be doubled to vent on their daughters-in-law.
Many daughters-in-law were forced to hang themselves and jump into the river to their deaths.
Li Xiake still can't understand what benefits these mothers-in-law have for their daughters-in-law to die.
But it is simply incomprehensible that generations of women have become mothers-in-law, and generations of mothers-in-law have tried every means to kill their daughters-in-law.
This time there was such a female corpse murder case, Lao Caitou's wife, that is, the mother-in-law of the female corpse, has never come forward, it is said that she was frightened and afraid to show up when she heard the news, but although she did not come forward, Li Xiake could also imagine how harsh she was to this daughter-in-law, otherwise this female corpse would not have such a big grievance, and she would turn into a zombie after death.
At this time, seeing the county order asking him how to deal with the female corpse, Li Xiake sighed: "Although this female corpse also has sympathy, but after death, it is unforgiving, and the best way to deal with this zombie is to burn it." Your Excellency, you can erect wood outside and burn this woman's corpse to ashes, that's it. ”
The prefectural magistrate asked, "Where to burn?"
Li Xiake said: "Naturally, it will be burned outside the town, but you have to shout more to the people and tell them not to be too harsh on your daughter-in-law in the future, otherwise your daughter-in-law may turn into a zombie and come out to kill people." It's too late to regret it!"
The county ordered: "Yes, yes, yes, it should be so! I also want to tell the world that not only should you not bully your daughter-in-law, but you are your own concubine, and the eldest lady cannot be humiliated at will, in case these people die, their grievances will not be dispersed, and they may also be condensed in their hearts and turn into zombies to ask for their lives!"
This county order has just accepted a concubine recently, who knows that the woman's jealousy is amazing, under the attack of jealousy, the concubine will be beaten and scolded at every turn, and the concubine cries to him every day, which makes the county unrestless and has a splitting headache.
Now that he heard Li Xiake's proposal, he understood the meaning of it, and said: "This official will organize people to burn this woman's corpse, and at the same time compile a book to warn future generations not to bully the women in the family again, so as not to cause a big disaster!"
So he ordered the soldiers to pile up dry wood in the town, and to light a raging fire, and called the people to watch, and proclaimed the matter.
Li Xiake sighed and glanced at the female corpse bound by iron chains: "If you are burned, you can save a large number of suffering daughters-in-law, and you will be considered a great merit!"
At that moment, he carried the struggling female corpse to the fire, walked around the crowd, and threw it into the fire amid the exclamations of the crowd.
In the middle of the hour, it burned to ashes.
At this time, the husband of the female corpse had just come back from buying a coffin, and when he heard that his daughter-in-law had become a living corpse and killed someone, he couldn't help but be shocked and stood speechless for a long time.
The onlookers kept pointing fingers at the father and son, showing disdain, and they all felt that this family was too hard-hearted, and they forced their daughter-in-law to death, which was really hard-hearted. In the future, if anyone's daughter marries into his family, her life will be ruined.
Since then, it is difficult for the son of the old Cai family to find a daughter-in-law, and finally bought a woman as a wife from hundreds of miles away, but he still can't have children.
The daughter-in-law was abused and committed suicide, and turned into a zombie to kill people after death, which caused a huge sensation in the local area, and coupled with the county order's hard publicity, the people in the entire county were panicked, and they no longer dared to abuse their daughter-in-law excessively, for fear that the Cai family would happen again.
Let's say that after the woman's corpse was burned, Jiang Shunfeng begged the county order: "The villain went out with four people, and now I am the only one who has returned home, how can I explain this to others? I also ask the adult to write a document for the villain to explain the matter, and then bring the errand official to prove the matter with the villain, otherwise it will be difficult for me to be a man." ”
The county order allowed him, ordered him to accept the silver taels compensated by Lao Caitou, and sent two officials to return to his hometown with him to explain it to him.
After Jiang Shunfeng thanked the county order and Li Xiake for his kindness, he set off to return to his hometown.
Li Xiake saw that the matter was over, he didn't want to stay longer, got up to leave, was stopped by the Taoist, and prayed: "Shangxian, Xiaodao can see the immortal fate this time, please also see that it is all a line of practice, leave some thoughts for Xiaodao, and let me worship the temple in front of the hall, a furnace of incense in the morning and evening, and worship the immortals." ”
Li Xiake listened to what he said interestingly, and laughed: "Okay, take a pen and paper!"
The Taoist people were overjoyed, and they hurriedly took pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to study ink for Li Xiake.
Li Xiake made a painting on rice paper, painting a bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves are like a sword, and the sword spirit is compelling.
After the painting of this bamboo bush, Li Xiake groaned slightly, took out the gold brick of fighting demons, dipped it in ink, printed a mark on the painting, and said with a smile: "With this pair of bamboo, you can ensure the peace of your Taoist temple for five hundred years. ”
The Taoist was grateful, and after receiving the picture, he thanked him again and again, and then returned to the Taoist temple.
Since this picture was hung in the Taoist temple, within the Taoist temple, the sword qi rushed into the sky every day, provoking a lot of strange people to come to watch, seeing the sword qi on the bamboo leaves, they were all shocked, and many people comprehended the peerless swordsmanship from this picture, and became a generation of swordsmanship masters.
This Taoist temple was originally a big cat and a kitten two or three Taoist priests, just because of Li Xiake's sword map, attracted many masters to come, after watching the sword map, he immediately left a lot of money to the Taoist temple as a thank you.
After a long time, the Taoist temple became rich, and a few more disciples were accepted, and among these disciples, there were many intelligent disciples, and some people appreciated a lot of swordsmanship and martial arts when they watched the sword map, thus becoming the first martial arts master in the Taoist temple.
As long as you leave the Taoist temple with the sword diagram, the incomparable sword qi contained in the sword diagram will immediately attack and kill people on the spot.
Therefore, "the ink bamboo sword diagram cannot be out of the Taoist temple" has become everyone's consensus, so when you come to the Taoist temple, you can only pay the price to watch, and you don't dare to have the idea of snatching.
This sword diagram has been about 500 years, the ink on it gradually disappeared, and finally the spirituality was lost, only became an ordinary drawing, but at that time it was already a peaceful season, this picture did not know how many legends and stories, it had already become a Chinese national treasure, was regarded as a special national treasure, put into the national treasure.
Besides, after Li Xiake left a picture for this view, he went out in the inn where the female corpse was mutated, walked forward along a wisp of yin qi in the inn's veins, and gradually walked to a barren mountain, which was a hundred feet high, like a tomb, and there was a small temple on the head.
The small temple is in disrepair, the inside is dilapidated, the houses are collapsed, the cobwebs are everywhere, and a wisp of yin qi under the old Caijia inn is sent out from under this mountain, and it has been stretching for hundreds of miles from the underground, and when it comes here, it is getting stronger and stronger.
