The last Onmyoji

Chapter 69 The Past 2
"It wasn't in that era, and I don't know the darkness of that era. The captain of the production team can be regarded as an existence covering the sky with his hands at the grassroots level, and our troupe can only be regarded as a group of street performers with the most vulnerable population. At that time, no one Dare to intervene in the production team leader's affairs, but afterwards, after she committed suicide, she was appointed, and the influence was too bad. The production team leader did not make things difficult for the troupe. Alone, he was also afraid at the time, especially when he knew that she was dying."

"For the people at that time, although they were destroying the four olds and overthrowing all monsters and monsters, in the traditional consciousness of people, they were still very afraid of people who died without peace. Of course, for her, it was more pitiful, and there was a According to the rules, the dead do not close their eyes and cannot be buried, but her eyelids, no matter how you touch them, will open immediately, her eyes that were originally full of gods, but filled with dead ashes, seem to be filled with resentment."

"The people in the troupe knew that she was aggrieved by her death, but no matter how they tried to persuade her, kneeling and kowtowing would not do. When I found out about her death, I drank half a bottle of white wine and walked over drunk. When I saw her eyes, I seemed to be As soon as I heard what she said, I took that fair little student and slapped her face more than a dozen times, then I leaned into her ear and said, "I will avenge you." After saying this, she closed her open eyelids by herself gone."

I clenched my fists tightly when I heard it. My father’s words are like the modern version of the vernacular Liaozhai. If I put it in the past, I would never believe it. But after going through so many things, the old lady who was alive next to me yesterday Today, he became a paper man and was burned to ashes. How can I not believe him?

I just gritted my teeth and tried my best to find the production team leader. If he died, I would dig his grave!
"Because of what happened that night, I beat that young student and was driven away by the theater troupe. My erhu master gave me two yuan before leaving, shook his head and said, 'Yutang, you are a good boy. , but the times are like this, see you again if you are destined, remember, don’t be impulsive, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it’s not that the time has not come.’”

"But I was still young at the time. In my eyes, your mother was the existence of the goddess I had been secretly in love with for a long time. Since I promised her to take revenge and let her close her eyes, I must do it. But I didn't have any confidence at all, and I didn't have any plans. After I left the troupe, I almost starved to death without spending the two yuan my master gave me. Later, I was disheveled and fled to the village where I found her. I lived in a dilapidated cave dwelling and met the captain of the production team. That guy seemed to have done too many bad things, and he covered the sky with his hands at the grassroots level. He was always surrounded by dog ​​legs. .”

"If a person is patient enough to find an opportunity to kill a person, no matter how defensive he is, he will show his flaws. Finally, one night, when I saw him walking on the path drunk alone, he took A sharpened stick I sharpened rushed towards him, and I was sure I could stab him to death! But before I could get to his side, he turned around and smashed my head with a brick. Suddenly, three or five young men rushed out of the woods by the roadside, and beat and kicked me until I was so beaten that I felt like I was on the verge of death."

"When I was beaten so hard that I couldn't move, the production team leader grabbed my hair and grinned grinningly and said, 'Damn it, people told me that you look at me with hatred every day, idiot. I still don’t believe it, today I deliberately pretended to be drunk to test you, so you really wanted to harm me, and said, who sent you? Are you an enemy agent?’”

"I glared at him angrily, sprayed a mouthful of blood on his face, and gasped: 'I was sent by that girl to marry you!'"

"Which girl?" He asked with a change of expression.

"I deliberately imitated her and sang a line of Peking opera, and he immediately thought of who it was, and his face suddenly changed, pointing at me to greet his dog legs, killing him, this matter is enemy agents, lurking to subvert the regime This guy is really ruthless. Under the circumstances at that time, even if he killed me first and then played against me, he could still receive a medal as a hero. The boys got the order and rushed towards me again. They would definitely dare to beat me to death for the crime set by the captain, I am not afraid of death, but regretted that I boasted Haikou, but failed to avenge her."

"Later, I was hit on the head by a brick. When I woke up, I was still in the cave with bruises all over my body. I felt pain all over my body when I moved. I almost died in the cave again, all because of drinking. The sewage and weeds survived, I didn’t know why they spared my life at the last moment, but even if they let me go, I would seek revenge from him.”

"When I was almost in good health, I left the cave and went to the village, but I was listening to the villagers talking about ghosts and hurting people. I only found out after inquiring that several people, including the production team leader, also That night, the few people who surrounded me all died without exception. The death conditions were miserable, and there were almost no dead bodies. I asked more deeply, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. On the night when they were going to murder me, I immediately thought of who did it, but I didn't expect that instead of helping her avenge, she saved me at the last moment."

"But since she has a soul, why doesn't she want to see me? That's what I thought at the time, and I heard from the villagers that when everyone collected some money and found a gentleman to deal with that hurtful ghost, I left Come down, because even if she is a ghost, I am worried about her. The villagers don't care about the reason why the ghost hurts people, they are only worried about whether such a thing will happen."

"Mr. Yin Yang was very rare at that time, and the Taoist temples were completely destroyed in the years when the Four Olds were broken. Later, the villagers of this village found a person who was denounced and could no longer be seen in other villages. It is said that this person used to be a well-known Feng Shui master, and after he came, he may have devoted himself to catching ghosts in order to get rid of the bitterness of being criticized."

"One night, he set up an altar next to the new graves of those dead people, and the villagers were not allowed to approach, but I quietly lurked in the crop field, peeping at his movements. When he made a paper figurine, the paper figurine was very lifelike, like the dead production team leader. After the paper figurine was tied up, he lit a lamp on the top of the paper figurine's head and on each shoulder. I used to hear that the old man We have said that there are three fires on the human body. When you are on the road at night, if you hear a strange voice calling you, don’t turn your head. Whichever way you turn your head, the light on which shoulder will go out, and the yang energy will be weak. Well, others also said that death is like a lamp going out, which means the three fires. I don't know Taoism, and I don't know what he is going to do, but I just watched his movements worriedly."

"After this man had done everything, he lay there and slept soundly, not afraid of mosquito bites. I remember it was summer and it was very hot. This man slept until midnight and looked at the stars in the sky. My whole body was on alert, and my eyes widened. There was no watch at the time. Now, based on the estimation of the time, it should be twelve o'clock, which Fatty Liu has always chosen. I suddenly saw her. On the day she hanged herself, she was wearing She was dressed in costumes and Huadan makeup, I recognized her immediately, she suddenly appeared at this moment, and rushed towards that paper figurine!"

"It was only then that I understood what the Taoist paper man meant by lighting three lamps. He had given the false impression that the village chief was still alive, and used this to lure her out!"

"No! I yelled and rushed out, such an obvious trap, how could I watch her jump? But it was too late, the Taoist took a small glass ball and smashed it down at her. She was right there At that moment, the smoke disappeared!"

"I was so angry at the time. I failed to protect her when she was alive. Why did I watch her disappear in smoke after she died but was powerless? I didn't care about 21 and rushed directly to the old Taoist priest. That man is over 50 years old, how could he be my opponent? Besides, because he participated in the feudal superstition, he was criticized miserably. He was as thin as dry wood. He kept screaming, and then he begged for mercy: "Young man, stop beating, you have something to say!'"

"My body was considered weak at the time, and I was out of breath after a few punches, and I was very sad when I calmed down, but I didn't particularly resent this Taoist priest. Ghost hunting is also his profession, right? I'm just very sad I told her about the girl, and after listening to this Taoist priest, he laughed and said to me: "Young man, don't panic. Actually, I don't know what kind of thing this captain is? I knew you were hiding when I came here." In the fields!'"

"The Taoist handed me the glazed ball that I saw him throw just now. I took a look and found that there was a figure inside the glazed ball. It was the one I saw just now wearing a costume and makeup."
