??
He said he was going to the Great Hall, but in fact, Cha Wenbin didn't suggest him to do so either. However, this move was unavoidable at the moment. But Cha Wenbin couldn't intervene in this matter anymore, and after being busy for a whole night, he should go back and rest. The small path between Wulipu and Hongcun would also pass by the Great Hall, which was where he used to walk when he was young. He didn't know if he wanted to relive his childhood or was possessed by evil spirits, but he suggested to Pangzi and Ye Qiu: "When I was a kid, I walked on a mountain road that was half as long as the main road, I don't know if the road still exists after all these years."
"This world had no roads at first, but when many people passed by, a road was formed..."
They followed the coffin team down the mountain, and it was estimated that those people would still be busy until the second half of the night. When they passed through the arch bridge, Cha Wenbin's heart suddenly skipped a beat, he carefully observed his surroundings, would that red figure appear again?
The weather was so stifling that it made people anxious, after a busy day with sweat and incense smells mixed on my body, when I walked onto the bridge, I suddenly felt cool. The coolness came suddenly, the pores on the back of my neck suddenly shrunk, and the hairs stood up one by one.
The sweat on Fatso's forehead had just reached the middle of the bridge when it evaporated, he tightened his clothes and said: "This is weird, why is this place so cold, it's making me shiver all over."
Ye Qiu stood at the head of the bridge, and they both almost reached the other side before realizing that the little guy hadn't followed up. Cha Wenbin turned his head to look, Ye Qiu's eyes were staring at a certain place. Cha Wenbin swept a glance, except for the group of people who came down from the mountain on both sides of the quiet riverbank, there was nothing unusual, and then asked: "Autumn child, why not leave yet?"
Ye Qiu didn't respond and hastily withdrew his gaze to follow, Pangzi asked him if he had found anything, but he just lightly shook his head.
Behind the Grand Auditorium is a field, and to the northwest are mountains. The seven mountains, two rivers, and one field are divided, unlike the vast plains of the north. The fields here are narrow, with a water ditch running through them. Along the edge of the ditch is a small road, at the end of which there are four or five households that have already gone to sleep. At the entrance of the Grand Auditorium stand two giant maple trees, while along the small road are planted rows of oak trees. In the past, people would pick the acorns from these trees to make tofu, which was similar to the blood tofu of today, but much lighter in color. After a certain incident involving a young intellectual, however, few people have picked the acorns here, and those that fall to the ground are scattered all over, with many of them densely packed underfoot.
"These trees have been planted for many years, right?" said the fat man after measuring with his hands: "They are even thicker than my waist."
"This village has been around for some years, let's head back, people are sleeping, don't disturb them." Along this irrigation ditch, it extends all the way to the back mountain, and the water in the fields is all drawn from the top of the mountain. The road that Cha Wenbin was referring to is this very road.
The mountain is not high, and it used to take only half a time to reach Wulipu. In recent years, fewer people have walked this way, so the shrubs on both sides of the road have grown taller. Ye Qiu had a knife in his hand, that Cold Moon he never left his side, so the task of opening the road was handed over to him. As they walked, Cha Wenbin mentioned that Baichengli again, saying that person had run away with oil on his feet, but Ye Qiu said that person ran much faster than him.
Maybe they chatted and forgot, the original road that Zha Wenbin remembered from his childhood couldn't be found anywhere, Ye Qiu led the way in front and suddenly a large piece of light-colored stone appeared. Zha Wenbin took a look and thought it was wrong, he had no impression of this place when he walked here as a child, several big men self-deprecatingly wondered how they got lost on the road at midnight, so they decided to turn back again.
Walking along the shrubs for not long, huh, tonight is really strange, how did we end up back at this big rock again. These three people aren't villagers from down the mountain, one is a Taoist priest, one has gone through life and death, don't look at Fatty Hu as being stupid, his heart is actually very meticulous, let alone Ye Qiu who is even more so.
When they appeared here for the second time, all three of them subconsciously stopped in their tracks. It's inevitable to encounter ghosts when walking at night, and tonight was probably going to be one of those times.
Cha Wenbin wasn't in a hurry, and the three of them sat down on that big rock. Just a few hours ago, Cha Wenbin had opened up his Taoist altar and invited all the lonely souls and wild ghosts around to take a stroll. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be anything that would dare to provoke them. However, each of the three people had a whiff of incense paper money on their bodies, so it wasn't surprising if they were being targeted by something.
Ghost hitting the wall, Cha Wenbin hadn't encountered it for many years, but Hongcun village had a legend that there was a kind of white shed ghost in this mountain, which would lead people to get lost in the mountain. Usually, when encountering a ghost hitting the wall, there are many ways to solve it, such as taking out something on your body that can ward off evil and open light, or having a child next to you sprinkle some urine, or taking off your shoes and slamming them on the ground, pointing at the shoes and scolding loudly, the more fierce the better, with enough momentum. And if there is a Taoist priest by your side, then you don't have to worry at all, he has many ways to deal with it. So what Cha Wenbin was interested in wasn't how to get back, but what kind of thing he encountered tonight?
Actually, the thought that flashed through his mind was the red clothes, but he shook his head immediately, such a sinister thing would not use such a low-level method to lure. So he instructed Pangzi and Ye Qiu to form a circle with three people, coincidentally, there were many incense papers at Kong Lao Da's place today, originally prepared to be put in the conference hall, but they forgot to bring them when they left.
Then Wen Bin drew a circle on the ground, lit incense inside it and burned some paper. After doing all this, the three of them lowered their heads quietly to feel if there was any movement around.
The incense had only burned for less than a third when Zhang Wenbin's back of the neck began to feel a chill, and that coolness told him something was coming. Zhang Wenbin carefully used his fingers to pick up some paper ash on his chest and drew a few strokes, muttering softly in his mouth: "Reside in the five thunder gods, electric light, Guanghua, Na then one body, life-saving, upper then bind ghosts, evil spirits, all dead, alive, destroy the way, I long-lived, urgent, like the law." It turned out that he had drawn a Sanqing Shangling symbol directly on his clothes at this moment. This symbol is relatively weaker in attack compared to other symbols or talismans of Maoshan or Zhengyi, and its properties are more gentle, without patterns such as heavenly thunder or divine fire, some of which are just a Sanqing edict.
Slowly, Zha Wenbin felt that something was moving on his hair, and then a chill spread to his neck. He glanced lightly, and those hands were slender like scallions, originally it was a female ghost.
Wait for that thing to take another step, Cha Wenbin suddenly turned around and pulled his clothes to both sides. For ordinary people, it was just a blurry picture, but for the dirty things, the picture would instantly emit a golden light and strike straight down. It was indeed a woman, a woman covering her face and lying on the ground, not daring to move.
Fatso thought that Cha Wenbin was a madman because he often talked to the air. This Taoist had opened his heavenly eye, so Cha Wenbin saw the original form of the female ghost at a glance and shouted: "You ignorant thing dare to harm people's lives here! If I hadn't spared you, I would have beaten you until your soul flew away and you couldn't turn over for eternity!"
Every time this happens, the fat man is bored. Sometimes he suspects that Cha Wenbin is just scaring him. Anyway, he can't see any female ghost, only Cha Wenbin's serious face staring at the empty space in front of him and shouting: "What is your origin? Why are you haunting here?"
That female ghost seemed to be extremely afraid of Cha Wenbin's clothes, and didn't dare let go of his hand. Cha Wenbin took a step back and pulled his clothes in, only then did the female ghost dare to reveal her true appearance. She looked like a 17 or 18-year-old girl, but with a pale complexion and empty eyes. She immediately kowtowed to Cha Wenbin: "Great one, don't harm me! You almost walked into the wrong place just now, that place is dangerous and can't be entered. I died there, and whenever people pass by, I will block them from walking in the wrong direction..."
"How dare you quibble!" As he spoke, Cha Wenbin made a gesture as if to reveal the symbol again. The girl was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her face once more and said: "This humble woman does not dare to speak rashly. If the esteemed one doesn't believe me, just go take a look yourself later and you'll know. About half a mile ahead from where you were just now, there's a grass hut, and my corpse is still there, yet to be discovered by anyone."
"What's wrong with you, god?" Ye Qiu suddenly blurted out a sentence that no one could understand, but Cha Wenbin didn't understand, but the fat man did. He immediately became spirited: "I didn't expect you to speak Hunan dialect, hehe, Cha Ye, Lao Er said we encountered a good ghost, I guess it must be a female ghost who has enchanted him."
"Oh?"
Fatso continued: "In the Xiangxi area, 'hitting a ghost wall' is also called 'zha na zi', and 'Zha Na Zi God' actually refers to those ghosts who died unjustly due to accidents. It's said that when you encounter a ghost wall, don't be afraid, because 'Zha Na Zi God' has no harmful intentions, but rather helps people by blocking your path in front of danger."
After being said by the two of them, Zha Wenbin also retracted his own pressure and looked at the woman's clothes which didn't seem to be modern attire either, then he said: "I think you've been dead for a long time, why don't you go reincarnate instead of wandering around here?"
That woman knelt on the ground and said to Cha Wenbin, "Immortal, this humble woman has been longing day and night to be reincarnated as soon as possible. However, no matter what I do, I cannot escape this small forest. I myself can't remember how many years it's been since I died. That person said I must find a substitute for the dead before I can be reincarnated, but...but I won't be able to harm others again..."
This is really beyond Zhu Wenbin's expectations, it seems that Ye Qiu and Paozi were right, this is indeed a 'ghostly child'. But why can't she be reincarnated? Is there some kind of taboo here?
"Who told you that you must find a scapegoat?"
"I don't know him either, I haven't seen him for a long time. There was one year when he often followed behind a little boy." The girl gestured: "He was only this tall, every time that little boy wanted to go into the grass hut, that person would help him avoid it. Later on, the boy didn't come again, and neither did that person."
