This is a small hill and a mass grave.
Bones can be seen everywhere here. Since it is a mass grave, it is very reasonable that there are ghosts.
Since there are gods and ghosts, it is obviously more reasonable for Taoist priests to catch ghosts.
The old Taoist priest in front of him gently tied a straw man with the hair he got from Chen Yun, and then wrote the word "Zuo Yun" on the yellow talisman paper.
This was the name of the new deputy chief he had found out. If he wanted to save people in the county government, he would not be able to do it by relying on Taoism.
Even if the person can be successfully rescued, just the backlash of the official's luck will make him unable to survive.
When doing things in this world, there must be a cause and a result. You must find a rule in the middle, or go against the will of nature, or follow the trend and find some opportunities in the dark. If you achieve that, you will become an immortal. Nothing can be achieved.
Therefore, being careful in everything is already the foundation for the old Taoist priests to uphold when walking in the world.
So this time, although he was the one who pierced the straw man and wrote the name, he couldn't let him do it himself to curse the vice-capital's luck.
That's why he came to the mass grave.
At this time, there were more than a dozen ghosts in front of him, both men and women, old and young.
The old man first waved the oldest ghost over: "Come on, come on, do you still remember how you died?"
The old ghost had wanted to become a ghost for some time, and he was no longer as ignorant as when he first became a ghost. At this time, being detained here by the old Taoist priest, he naturally nodded and bowed: "Immortal, the little old man was childless and died. No one even got a coffin, they just wrapped the little old man in a straw mat and threw it into the mass grave.
I don’t blame others, so after I became a ghost, I calmly waited in this mass grave for the impermanence of bull-headed and horse-faced black and white to seduce me and reincarnate.
But I didn't expect that after so many years, the cow-headed horse has disappeared, and the black and white have not come back. The little old man has no longer thought about reincarnation, and just wanders in this mass grave every day, just count it as a day! "
The old Taoist priest did not expect that although this old ghost was thrown into a mass grave, he still accepted his fate. But how can you accept your fate?
There is a hint of mystery in the words spoken by the old Taoist priest. If an ordinary person hears it, it will shock them deeply, but if a ghost hears it, it can shock the depths of their souls.
"Do you know why there has been no black and white in these years, and the bull-headed horse comes to look for you and takes you down to be reincarnated?
Just because you didn't die naturally, but died violently!
Those who die suddenly have to deal with their own karma, so that they can be guided by the underworld, go to the road of hell, step through the gate of hell, and then be reincarnated!
Therefore, if you want to be reincarnated, you must determine your own karma!
You were killed by someone back then, so it was a violent death.
On that day, you sold your rice grains in exchange for two copper coins. You wanted to find someone to propose marriage to Widow Liu's house in the next village the next day. Unexpectedly, a thief broke into your house that night and killed you. The copper coins were also taken away.
It is precisely because your family has no money and the coffin is expensive that the people in your village can only wrap you in a straw mat and throw you in a mass grave.
Therefore, you can only become a ghost wandering in the mass graves forever, and you will never be reincarnated because of the person who broke into your home, killed you, and took away your belongings.
Do you hate him? "
The old Taoist priest's voice was not loud, very calm and ethereal.
To people's ears, this voice doesn't seem to be what he is saying, it's like someone is chatting with you out of nowhere, but if you listen carefully, it seems like the other person is describing the matter directly in your mind.
The old ghost had forgotten that the real cause of his death was that he was old and single, so he accidentally slipped and fell while relieving himself and could not get up.
At this time, all he could think about was that he had sold grain in exchange for two copper coins and wanted to propose marriage. However, someone broke into the house that night and killed him, and also took away the copper coins he wanted to propose marriage.
Then when the people in the village wanted to make arrangements for his funeral, they found that his family didn't have a penny, so they had to pool their money with each other, buy him a roll of straw mat, dig a hole in the mass grave, and bury him here. At!
Therefore, he is now a lonely ghost who cannot be reincarnated. It is entirely the fault of the person who killed him and took away all his past.
As his thoughts changed, the aura of the old ghost became darker and gloomier. Resentment began to gather from every part of the mass grave to the old ghost in front of him. The old ghost's face began to become ferocious, and his eyes Begins to become confused and violent.
"He took my life and made me a lonely ghost for so many years. Damn it!"
Although it was a ghost, these words made him gnash his teeth. The old ghost finally... went crazy!
The old Taoist priest whispered vague and peaceful words in his ear: "That man's name is Zuo Yun, and he is now the deputy head of the Zhuangban of Guobei County. You are living a miserable life, but he is living a very harmonious life!"
So many years have passed, and you are helpless in this mass grave, watching your body fall into pieces and the bones being picked up by wild dogs.
But Zuo Yun, the man who killed you, became an official in the county town and became a popular and popular person!
Are you willing? "
The eyes of the old ghost with a ferocious face have lost the light of consciousness. Now he just wants to catch his enemy Zuo Yun, eat his flesh, peel off his skin, gnaw his bones, and suck his marrow!
"I'm not willing...I'm not willing...I'm not willing..."
The voice of resentment deep in the bones spreads in all directions in the gloomy night.
The old Taoist priest finally felt that the heat was coming, so he handed over the straw man in his hand and placed it in front of the old ghost: "If you are not willing to give in, you will take revenge. This straw man is Zuo Yun.
All your resentment and unwillingness are just to make him pay for what he did to you before!
Let him turn you into a lonely ghost, trapped in a mass grave for decades or hundreds of years and pay the price...
Then kneel down and worship him!
The more people worship him, the worse he will be! "
The old Taoist priest's words slowly turned into a murmur, seeping into the old ghost's heart, making him feel that what the old Taoist priest said was so right, and he should use all his resentment and unwillingness to retaliate against him.
So, facing the straw man with the word "Zuo Yun" written on it, the old ghost knelt down and began to worship.
As the old ghost kowtowed, the resentment and ghost energy in his body floated over and penetrated into the straw man in front of him one by one.
The straw man that was originally made of dead grass gradually turned black, and the name on the yellow paper became more and more sinister and strange.
There were more than a dozen ghosts present, and one after another they were given ideological work by the old Taoist priest, and then one by one they stood in front of the straw man with the word Zuo Yun written on them and began to kneel down and worship.
Chen Yun knew nothing about this.
He even slept soundly and didn't get up until midnight. He didn't even notice that Miss Ninth opened the door and came in.
"Ms. sir, don't you have to go to the Yamen today?"
Chen Yun rubbed his eyes: "What time is it now?"
Miss Ninth brought him clothes and said, "It's already Chen time, it's almost time.
Dunzi and I got some grass and came back to feed the rabbits. You haven't gotten up yet. I thought you had already gone to the Yamen after practicing your sword! "
Chen Yun took the clothes and was a little confused, why did he get up late today?
"Didn't our big rooster crow today?"
Miss Ninth was a little surprised: “It’s screaming, it’s just dawn!
Our chicken is lazy, other people's chickens crow before dawn, but our chicken crows at dawn! "
Chen Yun was surprised, why didn't I hear it?
"Didn't the old man practice swordsmanship?"
Miss Ninth then said: "Grandpa is out of the city, saying he wants to find a ten-year-old snake for you. We don't know how long it will take just by looking at the hunters!"
