When I was a Taoist

Chapter 5 Killed the Enemy?
With a pale face, I turned my head to look at Gao Liang who was speaking, my brain froze and couldn't figure out what he meant.

Gao Liang stood up with difficulty, and hit me on the head with his mahogany sword.Said loudly to me: "Forest! Take heart, do you want to avenge your mother?"

A figure flashed in my mind, the thin shoulders blocked all the wind and rain for me.Yes, I have to live, and I have to take revenge.

Gao Liang saw that my eyes were gradually becoming clearer, and urged me to stick the talisman quickly.

I turned my head and looked at Mr. Gu who still kept his mouth open.A sternness flashed in my eyes, and my hands stopped trembling, and I slapped Mr. Gu's forehead hard.

Under the bright moonlight, I looked at the yellow talisman attached to the forehead of the corpse, wondering if there would be an explosion or something like that.I saw that Mr. Gu still kept his mouth open, but his eyes slowly closed.

Gao Liang exhaled slightly, and said to me like a loving elder, "Good job." I looked at Gao Liang with complicated eyes, not knowing what to say.

Gao Liang instructed me to put cinnabar on the six acupoints of the deceased's ghost gate, then cover the coffin, and tie the coffin with hemp rope soaked in the blood of a rooster's comb.That's the end of the corpse that is about to be scammed.

There are many folk rumors about fraudulent corpses. I will talk about this in detail with you when I have a chance in the future.

Gao Liang, who was so tired that he left, and I, who was so frightened and collapsed, sat on the coffin together, leaning on each other, looking up at the stars.

I whispered to Gao Liang and said, "You said that fox fairy, has he left?"

Gao Liang closed his eyes and rested for a while, then said slowly: "I think it must have left. It was hiding in a dark place just now to see if I was really capable of dealing with it. But I was really not sure, so I sent a A fox came to disturb the corpse. Let the corpse cheat the corpse, and then when we and the zombie are both hurt, it will reappear and enjoy the benefits of the fisherman. But the corpse is easily suppressed by me. It can't get any benefits, and it is afraid of my temptation Thunder Talisman, so I shouldn’t be looking for trouble for the time being.”

Based on past experience, I double-checked: "Is it really safe this time?"

Gao Liang turned his head with difficulty, looked at me with a face covered in dirt, laughed out loud, then pointed to my nose and said: "Look at you, you are so frightened by such a small thing. "

I pulled the left corner of my mouth and said with a sneer that I thought was handsome: "Look at yourself, your face is the same color as a concrete road."

As usual, we teased each other a few words, as if this is the way we both got used to getting along from the beginning.

But what should be asked, after all, must be asked.

I looked at the sky, and I didn't know when the little stars appeared, and I asked unintentionally: "Listen to Gu Er, you came here a few years ago, and you even took care of a very powerful female ghost." .”

Gao Liang didn't answer for a long time, I looked sideways, and he was staring at me with burning eyes.My heart was chilled, and I said casually: "Although every man has a Brokeback Mountain in his heart, you are not allowed to go up my mountain!"

Gao Liang smiled helplessly and talked about what happened five years ago.

Gao Liang did visit our village five years ago.At that time, he offended a man with a good background in the south, so he went to the north to hide from disaster.He came to our northern village to make a living, and in just two years, he has already become well-known in the ten miles and eight villages.

At that time, seven or eight people had died in the village.They were all one of the accomplices who humiliated my mother back then, and the village chief was the last one.The village chief's uncle is a big leader in the county. After the incident happened, the village chief went to his uncle's house to take refuge.But because of the arrival of the village chief, strange things happened one after another in his uncle's house, and there was always a woman crying in the middle of the night.

The uncle of the village chief didn't want to take care of this matter, so he drove the village chief back to the village.But the mother-in-law loves her nephew after all, and Gao Liang was hired by the village head's uncle to help the village head look after things.

Gao Liang said, when I went there, the village kept secret about your mother.I made many inquiries, and finally found out about your family's situation from a man named Yang Laoji.

It turned out that the high school admission notice I was so proud of back then was not sent to my home, but to the village chief.Knowing that we are orphans and widowed, and my family is poor, the village head thought of forcing my mother to borrow money from him.It is no secret that the village head lends usurious loans in the village. Many families are forced to hand over their daughters and wives because they cannot pay the money.What can a woman pay back?The village chief had done enough harm to the women, so he sold them to pedicure shops in the city.

These are all things I don't know. When I was a child, I was like a chick under the wings of my mother.In addition to studying every day, I just help my mother with farm work, ignorant of the darkness around me.

In order to let me go to school, my mother finally bowed her head to the village head.However, usury and rolling interest, in less than a year, have already reached astronomical figures.Gao Liang didn't elaborate on what my mother went through, but I knew that if I didn't say it, it didn't mean it didn't happen.

My fists were tightly clenched, my nails cut through my palms, and blood flowed from the gaps between my fingers.

Gao Liang stopped talking, looked at me, and knew that no matter how sad I was, there would be no tears to shed.On the day my mother was humiliated, my tears had dried up.

Gao Liang sighed slightly, and stroked my hair lovingly.I calmed down and signaled Gao Liang to continue.

Gao Liang said: "At that time, my skills were very poor, and of course I'm still a half-bad now. My master gave me a book before he died, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it. My skills can only deal with some ordinary wandering ghosts But your mother is beyond my ability. I remember at that time, I found the place where your mother was buried, and planned to have a good talk with your mother that night."

Gao Liang laughed at himself here, and then said: "Your mother actually appeared in broad daylight, and she asked me if she was here to arrest her? She also said that I was not her opponent, and advised me to leave and not to help the evildoers."

My mother is always so kind, even if she is harmed by someone, she still thinks about letting the person who harmed her go.

Gao Liang continued: "Your mother is a good person, and she shouldn't become a ghost after death. People will become ghosts after death, and ghosts can only be transformed into ghosts if they have resentment, but ghosts are not easily created. I'm curious why your mother You will become a ghost, so I talked to your mother about the situation. Your mother said that she only became conscious on the seventh day after her death. She wanted to take revenge and protect you, but everyone who hurt her died, and only killed the village chief. So she chased to the county seat to kill the village chief."

I frowned and asked, "You mean, none of these people were killed by my mother?"

Gao Liang was also puzzled. He shook his head and said, "Although your mother didn't admit to killing people, people and ghosts have different ways. After becoming a ghost, people's temperament will change drastically. I don't know if she will lie to me. But I'm sure that , the person who died the night after your mother died was definitely not killed by your mother."

Me: "Why?"

Gao Liang explained: "The locust willows are all shady trees, which gather the most yin energy. Your mother was dressed in red and was wronged. She hanged herself on the locust tree. After that, you buried her under the willow tree in the yin gathering place. Even so, it is impossible for her to turn into a ghost that night, gathering Yin energy requires a process, and it is not something that can be achieved immediately. So I think someone has tampered with this matter."

My eyes widened in surprise, and I asked in disbelief, "Who did it?"

Gao Liang lowered his head guiltily and said, "I don't know who it is. Your mother was determined to take revenge. I told her that if she killed someone, she would go to the eighteenth floor of hell. You won't feel at ease in the future, so I promised her Take care of you. So your mother gave up revenge and voluntarily entered the underworld to reincarnate, and the village chief survived because of this. As for the person who murdered secretly, I didn't find out. Even if I found out, I couldn't deal with him with his ability. "

After listening to these words, I was silent for a long time. I was calm on the surface, but my heart was turbulent.

Gao Liang looked at me and continued: "I was an orphan and was adopted by my master. My master, your ancestor, was a well-known Taoist priest in the south. The aptitude is mediocre, and he has not learned the skills of his old man. I remember that the master was killed by his enemies and passed a book to me before he died. When the master was dying, the master told me that people should live up to the conscience of heaven and earth, not for revenge , become a villain. The cycle of cause and effect is endless.”

I frowned and asked, "Then you never thought about killing the enemy?"
