"You want to see Master Zhang Ling. She usually avoids meeting strangers. You have to make an appointment. Let me ask you first."
The next morning, Mu Wanrou came to visit the class and saw Jiang Jiahao sitting behind his desk with bloodshot eyes and an ashtray in front of him full of cigarette butts. He seemed to have been up all night and was a little angry.
Jiang Jiahao revealed a little about his abnormality to Mu Wanrou, and gained the other party's sympathy.
At that moment, Mu Wanrou decided to contact Zhang Ling, and Jiang Jiahao also learned about Zhang Ling's legendary life from Mu Wanrou.
Strictly speaking, based on these stories alone, he is not enough to be called the most awesome Goddess. At most, he can be regarded as an immortal Xiaoqiang.
Zhang Ling's original name was Zhang Lingyu. She came from a prosperous family when she was young. Her father was a famous fisherman in Xiangjiang. Although he did not reach the level of the three major aquatic products merchants, he was still quite famous.
Zhang Lingyu liked to go to sea with her father when she was young. She was a very ordinary child, but the turning point of her destiny was that she quietly started the gears at the age of six.
That year, as usual, she went to sea with her father, and that time, several fishing boats of the Zhang family encountered shipwrecks.
More than 200 people went there happily, but they all died in the belly of the fish. Only Zhang Lingyu came back alive.
No one knows how a six-year-old girl escaped the shipwreck or came back alone, but she just came back.
Since returning from that time, Zhang Lingyu's personality has changed drastically. She doesn't like to communicate with anyone, she has become blind, and she has become crazy.
Seeing that the Zhang family was lonely, some people thought of occupying the Zhang family's fishing boats and occupying the remaining property of the Zhang family.
As a result, the young Zhang Lingyu was guarding the door of the dock. Although he was blind, he seemed to be able to see through everyone's bad intentions.
She said that this person's life was short, he would be haunted by evil spirits, and he would die an untimely death soon.
It is said that that person lacks water in his five elements and is destined to be buried in the belly of a fish and be chewed beyond recognition.
He also said that another person had black energy between his brows and it would be difficult for him to live for more than three days.
That expression, that ferocious tone, didn't look like it came from the mouth of a six-year-old child.
That day, a group of more than a dozen people went to Zhang's house, but Zhang Lingyu cursed them all over.
These people did not think about anything else, thinking that Zhang Lingyu was just a curse. They beat Zhang Lingyu severely, planned to sell her to a private prostitute, and robbed the last fishing boat of the Zhang family.
A terrible thing happened. In less than three days, the curses in Zhang Lingyu's mouth came true one by one. Those who had been cursed by her died one after another, and their deaths were exactly as Zhang Lingyu said.
Some people died with their eyes wide open and their hearts broken, as if they had encountered something horrifying before they died and were frightened to death.
Someone was fishing on the beach, but his finger was bitten by a small fish he had never seen before. He passed out on the shore. When he was found, his body was full of holes, and there were sea fish eating on his body.
Someone had just celebrated his birthday and was very lucky, but at the birthday party, a fish bone got stuck in his throat and he choked to death.
There are also people whose faces were glowing that night, but fell asleep early the next morning. When they were discovered, their faces were haggard, their bodies shrunk and shriveled, like mummies.
In general, the dozen or so people who were cursed by Zhang Lingyu died miserably, which also made Zhang Lingyu bear the title of disaster star and devil, and they were going to be immersed in a pig cage and drowned alive.
At that time, many fishermen participated in the activity of soaking pig cages. Zhang Lingyu's hands and feet were tied, trapped in a bamboo cage, and thrown into the sea water.
But everyone ignored one thing. Zhang Lingyu grew up by the sea and had excellent water skills, but this time it was a bit too evil.
The pig cage was soaked three times. The first time it was soaked for three hours. When the pig cage was taken out, Zhang Lingyu was fine except for choking on water.
After soaking for a day for the second time, when the fisherman pulled the pig cage out, Zhang Lingyu was already unconscious. Just as the fisherman was checking her life and death, Zhang Lingyu suddenly gasped and came back to life.
The first two anomalies made Yuhu think that Zhang Lingyu was the messenger of the sea god and could not be killed but had to be released. This led to opposition from the family members of the deceased.
They would rather never go to sea or become a fisherman, or want Zhang Lingyu to die to avenge his family!
There were disagreements among the fish households, and the family members of the deceased tied up Zhang Lingyu at midnight while she was sleeping, took her to the sea far away from the shore, and threw her into the sea.
The frightening thing happened again. When the families of the deceased returned home, they saw a wet Zhang Lingyu on the shore early the next morning.
Not only did she not die, she came back, but she came back in an even weirder way.
At this time, all the fish households insisted that Zhang Lingyu was the messenger of Poseidon and should be worshiped and not blasphemed. Some even wanted to give her a longevity tablet.
Faced with the protection of other fish households, the family members of the deceased became more murderous. If I can't drown you, I can burn you to death, right?
They secretly tied up Zhang Lingyu and placed it on the fire, preparing to pay homage to the dead souls.
As a result, no matter how they lit the fire, the branches under Zhang Lingyu could not light up. Even if they used a torch to ignite the branches, light rain would fall from the sky and extinguish the flames.
Zhang Lingyu was subjected to thirteen moves, but apart from some slight burns, she had no other injuries.
If I can't burn you to death outside, I can burn you to death inside the house, right?
This group of people tied up Zhang Lingyu and threw him into a pre-built small house. They piled it with dead grass and branches and poured gasoline on it. You should die like this, right?
Everyone watched the wooden house burning with raging fire, with joyful smiles in their eyes, but suddenly a typhoon blew up.
The typhoon swept through and blew the cabin away. Zhang Lingyu, who was trapped inside, did nothing except being choked and fainted.
Facing the monster that could not be drowned or burned to death, the family members of the deceased were filled with hatred, but by chance other fish farmers rushed over and rescued Zhang Lingyu.
These fish farmers said that anyone who targets Zhang Lingyu will be expelled collectively by all the fish farmers.
Gradually, more and more strange things happened to Zhang Lingyu, which attracted the attention of an old goddess.
This old goddess is from Shanghai. She once came to Xiangjiang with her husband. Because of her strange and unpredictable abilities, she has won the respect of many celebrities.
She took Zhang Lingyu away, gave her everything she had learned in her life, renamed her Zhang Ling, and later passed away.
Zhang Lingyu was only 20 years old that year. She sent her master away as her daughter and took over his family business, a shrine.
It is said that this old goddess was once an orthodox Taoist successor, and the Taoist gods were also enshrined in her temple.
The entire shrine is a very large courtyard with a total area of more than 1,000 square meters. It is divided into many ancestral halls, and the gods in each ancestral hall are also different.
Some people also say that the shrine owned by Master Zhang Ling has the most comprehensive and spiritual worship of gods in Hong Kong, and it has even gradually become a pilgrimage site for some celebrities.
Some people even say that as long as anyone seeks help from Master Zhang Ling with sincerity, Master Zhang Ling will do his best to clear up doubts and avoid disasters.
In short, people in Xiangjiang are very superstitious, even to the point of crazy.
This goddess Zhang Ling is already sixty years old this year, and she is even said to be so miraculous that even the Lord's daughter has to make an appointment in advance to meet her.
In the office, Jiang Jiahao listened quietly to Mu Wanrou telling stories about Master Zhang Ling's past.
From her starry eyes, it is not difficult to see her respect and admiration for Master Zhang Ling.
Although the story during this period was very twists and turns and bizarre, Jiang Jiahao still felt it was a bit ridiculous. How could a six-year-old child survive so much hardship?
If I had to give an explanation, it would be okay to say that it was the blessing of the gods, but wasn't it forbidden to become a spirit after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Well, that's right, this is Xiangjiang, and it's still some time before returning. Maybe you can become a spirit...
In short, Jiang Jiahao is now becoming more and more curious about the Master Zhang Ling that Mu Wanrou mentioned. Maybe she can really solve his doubts.
Mu Wanrou had something on her mind, so she left early. In the afternoon, she sent someone to deliver a message, saying that when she ascends to the temple in three days, she must be humble.
Jiang Jiahao refused to comment on the so-called superiority and inferiority. He thought about it and found out that among the people who had been to the funeral palace, there was still one person who was left in the outside world, and that was Betty whose tongue was cut out.
He decided that in three days, he would take Betty and Mu Wanrou to see what was so strange about Master Zhang Ling, the old goddess who was regarded as a living god.
