I believe that many rural friends in Guangxi Province have heard of terms such as "Master Shigong", "Hua Po", and "Mo Yiwang", and they have probably heard of "Maguai Festival" and "Niu Soul Festival".
These things are actually related to "Shi Gongjiao".
Shigongjiao is also called Meishanjiao, and in some places it is also called Sanyuanjiao. People in this sect do not eat dog meat or beef. They mostly wear various masks to sing and dance during magic rituals. Because of their efficacious effects, they are quite famous among local Taoists.
I am a talented person who works in this field. Today, I will tell you all the secrets and strange legends about the mountains and fields. I hope it will be interesting.
My real name is Gao Wenshan, and I am from Xiyan Town, Shanglin County, Guizhou Province. After I was born, my family's fortune was extremely poor and disasters occurred one after another. My mother died in childbirth and my father disappeared when he went to work. There has been no news for nearly ten years.
Fortunately, my grandma is still alive and raised me until I was thirteen years old and finished primary school.
It was in that year that I lost my last relative and met the master who led me to practice. From then on, I entered a bumpy road of right and wrong...
One morning, my hand was stung by a scorpion and it was so swollen that I couldn't move it. Grandma said she would go to the mountains to collect a kind of herbal medicine called "July Flower" for me to detoxify.
After lunch, grandma took the hatchet and went up the mountain, but she didn't come back until dark.
I was so panicked that I quickly ran to the village to ask for help. The village chief organized people to search the mountain. After a long time, grandma was supported and limped down the mountain.
Grandma said her feet were sprained. After returning home, she took out a wilted herb from her pocket, took the root into her mouth, chewed it, and applied the herbal paste on my swollen hands.
Guess what, it really worked, and the swelling went away after a while.
I rushed into the house with a smile and saw grandma lying on the bed and falling asleep.
"Grandma, this really works."
After a while, grandma still didn't move. Only then did I realize that she had changed into a new set of black clothes, her hair was combed very neatly, she put on a shiny black hairband, and she was also wearing clean cloth shoes.
"Grandma, why did you fall asleep?"
I walked up and pushed, only to find that grandma's body had become stiff, and I had to exert force to move her arm.
Grandma smiled kindly and never woke up again.
I have attended condolences and know what the dead look like.
My limbs were weak, and I fell to the ground. A huge panic surged in my heart, and I felt like I had fallen into an ice cave. I was stunned for a long time and could not recover.
Aren't you sprained in your ankle? how so……
My heart felt like it had been stabbed hard by a knife, my chest felt tight and painful, and my tears couldn't stop flowing down.
"grandmother!"
I cried until I was in a daze and fell asleep. It was still dark outside and it was still dark.
I touched my grandma's cold and stiff arm, confirming in my heart that she was dead. I wiped away my tears and climbed down from the bed. I didn't even take a kerosene lamp, and I stumbled in the darkness crying: "My grandma is dead!"
A man's voice sounded at this time: "Sangmen Xing, did you kill your grandma?"
I cried, picked up a piece of trash, and threw it at his door.
"I will kill your whole family!"
After a while, the barefoot doctor from the village came over after hearing the news. He looked over grandma's body. After a while, he opened his trouser legs and found several small blood-red holes on grandma's calves. He muttered: "Your grandma was bitten by a snake and was poisoned to death." Yes, let’s prepare for the funeral.”
I stared blankly as he walked away quickly, and I didn't react for a while.
It was so dark that I didn’t know how long it would take for the light to come out. I climbed into bed and looked at the kind smile on my grandma’s face. I snuggled into the quilt next to me and kept crying.
I want to take a deep nap. Maybe when it gets bright when I wake up, grandma will still ask me to get up and cook a pot for her as usual.
Go to sleep, go to sleep.
In the haze, the night was getting colder and colder, and it seemed like something hard was biting my fist with its mouth.
It hurts!
When he opened his eyes, he could vaguely see the kerosene lamp on the cabinet next to him in the darkness, and the green bean-sized flame was still emitting a faint light.
The other hand slowly opened the quilt, and I saw clearly that it was grandma's hand that was holding my wrist tightly.
"Grandma... you..." I panicked for a moment.
Looking towards the head of the bed not far away, I don’t know when grandma’s eyes opened. Her gray eyes reflected the faint light, her mouth opened as wide as the mouth of a bowl, and her blood-red tongue stretched out. Under the light, trembling slightly under the reflection.
"ah!"
I screamed, struggling like hair all over my body, and goosebumps broke out on my back.
"Grandma..." My hand was tightly clamped and I couldn't pull it out.
"Grandma...let me go."
Grandma's eyes slowly moved in my direction, the red tongue retracted into her mouth, and her hands slowly loosened. I gasped for air and looked at the red marks on my wrists, which almost made me bleed.
"Grandma, are you not dead?" I asked tentatively.
I stood up on the bed and wanted to move forward, but I didn't expect my grandma's upper body to sit up suddenly, and her white turbid pupils stared at me.
"Grandma, you..."
Her body lay down again, her legs were clamped together, her hands were placed close to her body, and her whole body kept twisting, like a snake!
"Hiss-hiss-" Grandma raised her upper body and shook her head with disheveled hair. He stuck out his tongue again and kept spitting at me.
This strange picture immediately confused me.
I rolled and jumped out of bed, and grandma also rolled down, twisting on the ground and crawling toward me with her body hunched over.
I rushed out of the house quickly, ran to the small room next door, locked the door, and squatted in the dark corner without saying a word.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
There was a knocking on the door outside, no, listen carefully, more like a banging of the head.
Putting my ear against the door, I heard the hissing sound of a snake.
I don't know how long it took for the sound to disappear, but I still didn't dare to open the door.
It wasn't until dawn that I quietly walked out. There was no trace of grandma in the house. I walked to the yard with relief, and my eyes immediately widened.
Grandma was lying in the chicken coop, her mouth wide open, her body covered with a lot of blood and chicken feathers, her chin almost touching her chest, and an old hen that kept wailing was stuffed in her mouth, and one of the wings stretched out was still there. Keep flopping.
And you can tell with the naked eye that the grandma on the ground has grown taller, her legs and body have become a lot longer, and she is squirming on the ground with a round belly, and she has probably eaten a lot of chickens.
My face turned pale in an instant, and I was speechless. The cold sweat on my back had wet a large area of my clothes.
I ran out in a panic and called the village chief, and quickly pulled the person over.
There was no sign of grandma in the chicken coop in the yard. When I walked into the back room and opened the door, I was dumbfounded...
