The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 484 Water Zombie ([-])

I waved my hand: "Third Uncle, try to be as concise as possible. I just want to know if this bridge spirit can be seen and touched, or is it a kind of spirit body that we cannot see with our naked eyes?"

"You can see and you can't see."

Uncle San's answer made me both angry and happy. What does it mean to be able to see and not see? So whether you can see or not.

I anxiously wanted to ask for clarification, but the third uncle continued: "Nephew, you have to change your impatience. Don't worry, just listen to me, okay? I said that Qiao Ling couldn't see it because It itself is formed by the gathering of various grievances. Because this is a century-old bridge, it has the ability to absorb grievances. The more this kind of grievance gathers on this bridge, it will form a bridge spirit. Where do you say this grievance is? What does it look like? Have you seen it? I haven’t seen it either, so I said I couldn’t see it.”

"Then how can I see it again?"

The third uncle said again: "I said he can see it because the bridge spirit will not exist independently. Because it is a spirit body, it will attach itself to other substances. This substance may be a person, or It may be a thing. The reason why it is called the bridge spirit is because it is born on the bridge, so it cannot be separated from the bridge. It should be attached to something on the bridge. This kind of thing actually exists. So we can all see it. It's just that we don't know what the bridge spirit is possessing."

After the third uncle's explanation, Pang Dahai and I also understood what this bridge spirit is.In the final analysis, it is a kind of spiritual body condensed by various grievances.And this kind of spirit body will become something else by possessing itself.

"Protecting the bridge is an instinct of the bridge spirit. I guess at the time of the river festival, the bridge spirit's original intention was to protect the bridge. So those people drove the cranes, and they were full of ostentation. It should be that the bridge festival was missing. There was no sacrificial oration to Qiao Ling. That's why Qiao Ling got angry, causing so many people to die on the spot." The third uncle deduced.

"So, the tragedy that happened during the river festival was actually related to this bridge spirit?"

The third uncle nodded: "Qiao Ling's intentions were good, but maybe he did something wrong with good intentions."

Maybe it was during the time when I was on the bridge that the third uncle also told Pang Dahai the story of the tragedy that happened here.Pang Dahai also asked at this time: "Then why, after the death of the bridge repairer, the river festival can proceed smoothly?"

The third uncle said: "Of course it is because of the death of people, and new grievances have arisen. Qiaoling absorbed the new grievances, and naturally let those people go. But this is not a long-term solution. It is inevitable that there will be repairs, and we can’t have to die to calm down the bridge spirit every time it is repaired, right? So, for public and private purposes, we have to take this bridge spirit. It can be regarded as a benefit for the local people.”

I smiled wryly: "Third Uncle, you have the spirit of boasting without shame, pretending to be self-serving, and your ability to turn the dead into the living, and the false into the truth, I really admire it."

The third uncle was also amused, and laughed and scolded: "You boy, learn from your third uncle."

I glanced at the stone bridge. After the storm just now, it has regained its calm.On the dark bridge deck, there was no movement at all.

And among the six roosters we brought, one died.The remaining five were also put into the coop by the third uncle again.

I pointed to those roosters and asked, "Third Uncle, tell me what you were doing with these roosters just now?"

The third uncle glanced at the time and nodded: "There is still some time. Let me explain it to you. It turns out that I didn't explain it clearly to you because I was afraid that you would be afraid. When the time comes, I will retreat and I will be alone. But I can't handle it. Since you keep asking, I might as well tell you."

I waved my hand: "Come on. If you don't explain it clearly, it's just to trick me."

The third uncle curled his lips, and stopped bickering with me, and asked me to tell him what happened on and off the bridge just now.

I told my third uncle and Pang Dahai again what I had just experienced.Thinking of the thrilling moment I just experienced, I still feel scared.I could feel the chilly wind blowing in from the back of my neck.

I shrunk my neck and tightened my clothes.

After Pang Dahai heard this, he was dumbfounded, and asked his third uncle, "Master, what did Boss meet by the river?"

The third uncle scratched his head with a strange expression on his face. Instead of answering the fat man's question directly, he shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then it's really troublesome. This water zombie has really become a monster." .”

What the hell?
"Water zombie?" Pang Dahai and I exclaimed in unison.

I've heard of zombies, and a water zombie emerged from the third uncle's mouth, which greatly exceeded my cognition.

The third uncle went on to explain: "This water zombie, as the name suggests, is a zombie formed in water. I knew there was such a thing when I was learning Taoism. The formation of this kind of water zombie is more difficult than that of land zombies. But once Formed, the harm is several times greater than that of ordinary zombies, and it is also more difficult to deal with. There are very few records of this kind of water zombie in ancient books, and most of the records can be traced back to the Han Dynasty. There are not many records in modern times. But I know that it was also recorded in the Qing Dynasty, and because it is relatively close to the present, the credibility is still very high..."

After I got off that bridge, maybe what Uncle San wanted to verify was verified.Now he is not in a hurry to implement the next plan, but took the trouble to tell us the origin and allusions of the water zombie.

Uncle San said that ancient books describe a story of a water zombie in the Qing Dynasty.

It is impossible to test which era this story took place in the Qing Dynasty.It's just that it happened in a rich family's home in the south of the Yangtze River.

The surname of the wealthy family is Xie, and the rich family is rich. Mrs. Xie has a lot of money, but there is one thing that is not satisfactory.It's just that I am sick in bed, my wife died early, and I have only three sons under my knees, but they have no way to raise them, and the third sons are unfilial and unrighteous, so they are reluctant to give money to the old man to see a doctor.They didn't even want to give their father a full meal.

Old Master Xie knew that his time was short, but he was used to living a prosperous life during his lifetime, and he was afraid of suffering after death.So he asked the three sons to burn some paper money to him after his death.Unexpectedly, the three sons uttered evil words, saying that they would not burn a penny to him.

The old man was already weak and couldn't hold his breath, so he finally died of anger.

Before the old man died, he once yelled: "Nizi, even if I have become a ghost, I will come back to settle accounts with you."

That shout was full of air, and it didn't seem like a dying person could shout at all.

At that time, the three sons were a little scared. At that time, people believed in ghosts and gods, and they were really afraid that their father would come back after turning into a ghost and claim his life.

They didn't know where they learned it from, so they found a wooden thorn and nailed it in from the top of the old man's head.It is said that this can seal the old man's soul out of his body.
