Yue Guanchao looked at Old Madam Hu, and her face didn't look like she was lying. He and Song Siyuan glanced at each other, and felt that they were in big trouble now. If the female training book was in some temple, it would be reasonable for them to ask the old lady to bring it. But now that the female version of the training is in the tomb of the imperial concubine, it is completely different.
You can't tell me to ask Mrs. Hu to dig up the grave of her female ancestor, and then take out the female ancestor's grave and show it to them?
Just asking this doesn't make sense. Mrs. Hu's family has been living together for four generations. After so many things in her life, how could she not see through their thoughts? She comforted them: "But don't worry too much. I remember that there is still Concubine Lao Tian in Huangtian Town. How old are they?" Although she is old, her brain is not confused. I will take you to see them tomorrow, maybe this old concubine knows these nvshu."
"Thank you very much, old lady." Taoist priest Jin listened carefully and immediately stopped mentioning this. On the stage, there was a performance of five girls celebrating their birthdays in the Hui opera corner, and the gong gang was beating the gongs very lively.
While they were enjoying the play, the old servant from outside the yard hurriedly ran in and whispered something in the old lady's ear. The old lady's eyes were still smiling, but then they were filled with worry: "Shu girl is making trouble again. Come on, let me go take a look."
"Old lady, you might as well take Taoist Jin with you." The old servant's words reminded Old Madam Hu. She turned around and said: "Taoist Jin, you might as well follow me to the inner courtyard. You have great powers, so you can take a look. What are the symptoms of my granddaughter?"
"Okay." After Jin Taoist stood up, he left most of the people behind and took Yue Guanchao and Song Siyuan with him. They walked through the many courtyards to the backyard. They walked into the low rockery. Under the rockery, there was a slightly imposing square courtyard. Before I even entered the door, I could already hear the sound of pots and pans breaking, and sharp voices roaring, as if someone was being tortured.
As soon as they entered the door, many old ladies held down a young woman, barely using their hands and feet to restrain her from trying to break free, and tied her to a chair with a soft cloth. Even so, she could see that the woman was like an evil spirit, constantly biting those who were near her. Living people, some old women obviously had injuries on their hands, with teeth marks all oozing blood.
"Old lady, what's going on, young lady?" Song Siyuan came closer to take a look. During the struggle, the woman's bun was completely untied and spread over her face and behind her head. Her eyes were extremely vicious, and she didn't look like that at all. The eyes of a young woman are like those of an innocent soul who has lived for thousands of years. She is so angry that she is bleeding. Even her lips have turned black, as if there are black veins, spreading from the back of her head to her neck. She looks like she has been poisoned. .
"I don't know, it's a family inheritance." Old Mrs. Hu obviously didn't tell the truth. The family inheritance can't be like this.
"What kind of family inheritance? I think he is possessed by an evil spirit." Looking at this, Yue Guanchao was probably possessed by something. Only by being possessed by an evil spirit or possessed by an evil spirit can one become crazy and bloodthirsty.
Old Mrs. Hu nodded and said, "You two have good eyesight. My family inherited the evil syndrome."
"Can nightmare evil be inherited?" Song Siyuan looked at Taoist Master Jin in confusion. The old Taoist priest slowly walked to the crazy woman, took out the Taoist beads and murmured the scriptures and mantras in his mouth, and pressed his fingers on them one by one. Forehead, chin, tip of nose, left and right shoulders, two knees, two elbows.
Each time she clicked, a Taoist bead was rotated. After the last Taoist bead was rotated, the woman gradually calmed down like a firewood pile that had been extinguished.
Seeing that she stopped scratching and biting, the old Taoist priest walked over and put his hand on her wrist, carefully felt the pulse, and said to Old Mrs. Hu behind him: "The pulse is stable, but she is a little emotional. At least she is healthy. I don't know why she is like this." How could a female believer become like this?"
"Taoist Master Jin, the reason is the nightmare disease that I just mentioned to you." The old lady took them to the living room, ordered tea and then continued: "Speaking of which, the nightmare disease has been around since my sister's generation. In the beginning, decades have passed, and almost every generation of girls will suffer from this disease. They go crazy as if they are possessed by a demon, but when they get better, they are just like normal people. Even they themselves don’t know what they are doing. What causes nightmare syndrome?"
"Then, who was the first woman to suffer from nightmare syndrome?" Taoist Master Jin's words made Mrs. Hu's face become mysterious, as if she mentioned some taboo: "The first woman to suffer from nightmare syndrome was my wife who was The eldest sister of Shentang." That year, when the Taiping Army passed through Yongming, Hu Yuqin, the daughter of the Hu family, was chosen as the concubine to help the Taiping Army deliver news. The Taiping Army also knew that they burned, killed, looted, and even skinned officials alive in the street. Pi has already offended the previous government. In order to attract the attention of the previous government and at the same time reserve time for subsequent escape, it is most appropriate to keep these concubines.
As the Taiping Army left across the border, most of the imperial concubines stayed behind on the grounds of protecting Longxing Land. These imperial concubines had long recognized in their hearts that King Hong Tian was the savior. After being bewitched by the evil words, they even believed that they were the savior. In order to benefit the people, the Heavenly Father and the Heavenly King continued to resist the former government with the remaining Taiping troops, rebels and bandits.
After the previous government conquered Yongming County, they first slaughtered all the craftsmen and peasants who built forts and fortifications for the Taiping Army. Later, they also began to search for the common people who joined the Taiping Army. Anyone who found him would be executed, and his family would be extorted. , to atone for one’s sins with money.
In the end, the Taiping Army forces in Yongming County were basically wiped out. If there were any left, only Tian Fei and her remnants were left hiding in the mountains. At this moment, it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to find them.
As mentioned earlier, Yongming County is surrounded by mountains, sandwiched between hundreds of mountains by Dupang Ridge and Mengzhu Ridge. There are 700 large and small wild mountains. The former government had to look for them one by one, and it would take five or six years to find them. After the walk, as for finding traces of Tian Fei, there was no need to even think about it.
Since you can't find it after searching all over the mountain, you can only come up with some bad ideas. These concubines are all locals. They have fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, fathers, brothers and sisters. Since you don't show up, then we can only operate on your relatives.
Youdao is like combing soldiers through a grate. Compared with the Taiping Army in the previous dynasty, there was basically no difference. The only difference was who occupied it.
The reputation of "official government" is easy to raise the banner. Even if these concubines were bewitched by the Taiping Army's talk about average wealth and poverty, they also knew that their family members were all mortals and could only kill people with a nod of their heads. However, the former government would not lie to them. If they did not go back, then I could only watch the whole family's heads fall to the ground.
The head of the Hu family was also arrested by the Yongming County Government because of this incident. Only when Hu Yuqin showed up could they go back.
It has to be said that the previous government was not good at benefiting the people. It was easy to catch them if they caused trouble for the people. Most of the concubines still wanted to rescue their families. As soon as they showed up, even the remnants of their troops would be arrested. If they continued to resist stubbornly, , then kill the family members together.
These concubines had no choice but to take the remaining troops and surrender to the officials. They were tied up and paraded through the streets by the former officials. Finally, they all sank in the Fengzu River.
As the concubine of heaven, Hu Yuqin was of course among the group of women who were paraded on the street. She didn't know what happened before she was drowned in the pond. She seemed to have gone crazy. She was banging and scratching in the iron cage, and she didn't stop even though she was bleeding. She was laughing so hard Extremely insane and terrifying.
It is said that even the escort officer looked at her and his back was numb. The Yongming County government officer was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so he first sank her into the Fengzu River. Several times, she saw the iron cage floating up until she was tied to a stone. Only when it reaches the top can it be considered that it has completely sunk into the pond and will no longer float.
Afterwards, the other concubines were also convicted and thrown into the Fengzu River one by one. In the years after they drowned, the fish in the river grew extremely fat, but the people never dared to catch them. They found that as long as the fish were caught, they would bleed and cry. At night, women could be seen crying slightly. When the intestines are cut open, human bones, teeth, hair, and nails will inevitably appear. Even the fish meat will become sour when cooked, so no one will fish it anymore.
Over time, some people began to spread rumors that the government had done something extremely wrong and that these women's ghosts were still alive, so the strange phenomena appeared, so that the world would know that they died unjustly and were not allowed to be reincarnated.
The people themselves believed in ghosts and gods, and after seeing the tragic situation of Tian Fei being sunk into the pond, they felt more and more that this was Tian Fei's evil spirit coming out to cause trouble. Many Taoist priests were invited to exorcise the ghosts and appease them, but the effect was not very satisfactory. In fact, there were many The Taoist priest died in Fengzu River for no reason.
These strange coincidences have made people in Huangtian Town panic. Even the government has sent people to inquire about the situation. They are afraid that it is really a ghost, and it will affect their lives and lives. It is also possible that Yongming County has done too much. , a little afraid of ghosts knocking on the door late at night, signaling to the people of Huangtian Town to perform some religious rituals. All expenses would be reimbursed by the government. As a wealthy family in Huangtian Town, the Hu family took on this task.
Mrs. Hu thought that they were Yongming County women after all, and died because of resisting the government. It was not honorable to let these people stay in the water, which was a bit unfair to them, so she sent a water turtle to salvage these iron cages and collect the dead ones. The imperial concubine was placed in a coffin and buried in Dupanling.
After that, Huangtian Village completely returned to normal, and no more human organs appeared in the big fish. However, from now on, as long as the women in Huangtian Town reach adulthood, they will become what they are today, becoming extremely crazy and terrifying, until they disappear mysteriously a few years later, which is very strange.
"Back then, after my eldest sister passed away, I had a high fever for several days. In the following years, I also developed nightmare syndrome like her. It was not until I got married that I completely improved. I have never had a recurrence at such an old age. Since then, many people have had a fever. Women will be like this when they get older." After Mrs. Hu finished speaking, her eyes became strange: "Many doctors have looked at it, and there is nothing strange about the body when the disease occurs. It's just that the mood is a little agitated. It doesn't look like a brain disease. After returning to normal, , and I don’t even have any memory, it’s very strange.”
"Doctors don't know what's going on. They can only understand these diseases as evil spirits, which means diseases that look like evil things in the body. Until now, decades have passed and no girl has been seen. It can be cured, but it happens suddenly without any explanation, and then it completely heals without explanation.”
"Maybe it's really the ghosts of the concubines who are causing trouble?"
