Creation of Animals in the Extermination of Corpses and Ghosts in Xiangxi

The flowers of Longhu Mountain are really loud. Facing the table full of big fish and meat, and the cautious village chief Chen Laoman who is beside him, Tang Fang couldn't help but think from the bottom of his heart, the word Ziling Dinglonghushan As soon as they came out, everyone here seemed to be looking for evil. Not only did they not pursue Li Er's death, but they worshiped the three of them as if they were Bodhisattvas. The three of them turned from murderers in everyone's eyes to masters of Taoism. , the village head also deliberately killed a New Year pig as a treat.

And she still doesn't know if what Zi Lingding said is true or not!

It seems that the name of Longhushan will be used more in the future. This is a golden signboard for bluffing and deceiving. Tang Fang thought to himself, but this Tang Mengya is as cold as ice. The more Zi Lingding gains power, the more unhappy she will be. The big fish and meat seemed invisible in her eyes, and the bowl and chopsticks did not move at all. She glanced at Tang Fang who was eating, and cursed secretly: vulgar.

Zi Lingding, on the other hand, was still not in a hurry, and she just had a taste, her face was covered with a black veil, so she couldn't see her expression clearly.

"Chen Laoman." Zi Lingding put down her chopsticks and said, "Do you know a man named Fang Yunlin?"

Chen Laoman thought for a while, then shook his head, Zi Lingding asked again: "Then I heard that there is an old man who guards the kiln in your village, do you know his details?"

"Oh, you're talking about Cripple Yang." Chen Laoman said, "I brought him into the village, how could I not know."

"Tell me."

Chen Laoman thought about it: "About seven or eight years ago, or five or six years ago, I don't remember, Yang Laizi came to our village. At that time, I thought he was very pitiful. It happened that the village lacked a kiln guard. You too I know that the kiln fire does not go out immediately, if there is a big fire, the fire will spread into the village, and the kiln guard in the village has just passed, so let him take over."

"Did this person change anything these years? Or did he show any unusual behavior?"

"Is that true? It's just that this person is relatively withdrawn and rarely interacts with the villagers. We send him some rice noodles every month. He rarely comes out and usually hides in caves. There are probably very few young people in the village. know him."

"Can you show me to him?"

"No problem." Old Chen agreed, but then hesitated and said, "This person has a weird temper. If he says something nasty then, Daxian, you have to bear it."

"no problem."

"Also..." Taking advantage of being able to talk to Zi Lingding, Chen Laoman took a step forward and said, "Mystery, what you said, that the lamp girl was broken within three days, is true or not."

"Tell me first, does this lamp girl often come out to make trouble?"

"That's not it!" Chen Laoman said, "Many children in the village have seen this lamp girl. Last year, I almost frightened one of them. We asked many Taoist priests to open the altar, but none of them worked. If it is empty, please ask Daxian to open the altar to do it, otherwise this thing will not die, and the people in our village will not feel at ease!"

"It's all about Li Er's fault. If it wasn't for him...how could such a big incident happen in the village? You deserve it!"

"Everyone is dead, so please save some morals." Zi Lingding said flatly.

"Well, you great immortals, use it slowly, use it slowly."

The three of Tang Fang didn't delay anymore, they wanted Chen Laoman to lead them up the mountain, and saw that the village was beating gongs and drums again, as lively as yesterday, needless to say, it was time to use boys and girls to worship the kiln again, and the three left in a hurry Going there, I saw that yesterday's tribute platform was set up again, and two boys, a man and a girl, sat on the tribute platform, staring blankly at these people in front of them, completely unaware of their upcoming fate.

"What are you doing?" Zi Lingding asked knowingly.

"When firing large vessels, the kiln must be sacrificed. This is a rule that has been passed down and cannot be broken." Chen Laoman said.

"How many years has it been burning?"

"It has been almost 30 years since the first day the kiln was opened."

"How many boys and girls were sacrificed?"

"Every year when the kiln is opened, there is a sacrifice, more than 30, right? In the past, when the times were good, the village still had money to buy them from outside, but in recent years, the times have been getting worse and worse, so we can only use people from the village. , In a few years, there will be no boys and girls in the village, and our big kiln will also be abandoned, and the whole village will not know how to live by then."

"Today is unlucky, let's do it another day." Zi Lingding said flatly.

"This, this is the rule. Every year the kiln opens today. If the time is delayed, I'm afraid..."

"Do you understand or I understand?"

"It's just..." Chen Laoman thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll discuss it with them." After speaking, Chen Laoman walked forward and called out a person from the crowd. This person is Tang Fang and the other three. The one I knew was the young man in the morning. This young man obviously noticed that the three of them were looking at him, and he glanced sideways at the three of them from time to time. After Chen Laoman talked to him for a long time, he returned to Zi Lingding and said, : "Boss Yang has already agreed, but it's just that Daxian has to figure out the date."

"Who is he?"

"Oh," Chen Laoman glanced at the young man, and said, "Boss Yang, the bosses in other places specialize in collecting porcelain. He collects most of the porcelain fired in our big kiln. It's from our village. God of Wealth. Boss Chen is a good man."

"What a fart, you look like a profiteer, Chen Laoman, show me your paper-burning porcelain."

"En." Chen Laoman hurriedly brought a freshly fired porcelain jar from someone else's hand. The three of them were dumbfounded when they saw it. Although they are all laymen, they also know that this kind of porcelain can definitely be sold at a good price in the market. Chen Laoman said embarrassingly: "This one burned out. I still have a few good ones in my house. I will ask someone to get them." .”

"Forget it. How do you sell this porcelain?"

"Boss Yang is a good person. He is willing to offer a huge price, which means that if the situation is not good next year, he will add another layer!"

"A big ocean, although the price is a bit low, but the road here is too difficult, and it's a unique business, it's not too much. It seems that Boss Yang is not too dark-hearted."

"It's just that if the kiln is not opened, Boss Yang will leave. He only comes once a year, and he is very strict with porcelain. He only accepts one out of ten porcelains. We can open the kiln as soon as possible."

"When I come back, I will naturally count it as an auspicious day for you. Now take me to find Cripple Yang."

"Well, Daxian, please go this way."

"Let's leave now," Tang Mengya kept an eye out, fearing that Chen Laoman's yin and yang would disobey, he would open a kiln and burn the pair of childhood virgins after the three left. Chen Laoman dismissed everyone, and the pair of children Boys and girls, as if they had been pardoned by the emperor, led their children away crying.

"The lamp girl is the disaster caused by your burning large utensils. Haven't you thought about not using virgin boys and girls to open the kiln?"

"It's not that I haven't thought about it. But if we don't use boys and girls to pay homage, the burned things will not pass Boss Yang's test. Boss Chen won't accept it at all, and there is nothing we can do about it."

Could it be that the firing of the kiln has some kind of connection with this mysterious businessman, Boss Yang?The three thought at the same time.
