corpse village
Chapter 41: East Songpo Village
My master Zhushan Laodao always felt that these little ghosts sent by Miemenpo were coming for me. Therefore, the master told my mother that he had to keep me with me at all times for my safety until this matter was over.
There are so many wild ghosts in my house now, it is no longer safe.This, my mother knows.What's more, my mother can tell whether my master treats me well or not.In my mother's opinion, my master Zhushan is an old man, and it is absolutely impossible for me to harm me.Therefore, after my master made this suggestion, although my mother was a little bit reluctant to part with me, she still agreed for my safety.
After my mother promised Master to let him take me away, my master Zhushan Laodao pasted a few talismans at my home, and at the same time buried a handful of ashes from the burnt talismans under the ground of the main room.
Since I left with Master, after school, I no longer go home, but go back to Zhushan Temple.
The night of the first Saturday in Zhushanguan happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.Master suddenly told me to go to Songpo Village, and I had to follow.
As for Songpo Village, I still know that Miemenpo's home is there.To be precise, there are two Songpo villages.One is Dongsongpo Village, which is close to Songlin Mountain; the other is Xisongpo Village.
In the past, there was only one Songpo Village.However, after Miemenpo became famous, all the villagers in Songpo Village who could afford to move moved to other villages.Those who were unable to move out of Songpo Village also moved their families to the west of the village as much as possible. In this way, Xisongpo Village was gradually formed.
With the villagers moving away, only Miemenpo's family is left in Dongsongpo Village. To be precise, Miemenpo is alone.Miemenpo's husband died when her daughter Li Tianzhen was three years old.Miemenpo did not remarry after her husband died, and of course she did not have any more children. Therefore, she only had Li Tianzhen as an only child.
Master and I arrived at Dongsongpo Village at nine o'clock in the evening. At this time, Miemenpo was shepherding ghosts on Songlin Mountain, so it was impossible for her to be at home.
I don't know why Master Zhushan chose to visit Dongsongpo Village at this time, but I can vaguely feel that my master deliberately avoided Miemenpo.
As soon as I walked to the entrance of Dongsongpo Village, I saw a strange thatched house.In fact, the thatched house itself looks no different from other thatched houses.However, the walls around the thatched house were filled with burnt incense and candles.
"This should be the mortuary of Miemenpo." My master Zhushan said to me.
The mortuary is specially used by Miemenpo for dead bodies. The dead body and the soul are two completely different concepts.Corpses are real things, there are whole bodies and bones.The soul cannot be seen with the naked eye unless it is enchanted.
"Go in and have a look." The old Taoist Zhushan said to me, and then pushed open the door of the mortuary.After opening the door, my master Zhushan walked in cautiously.
This place is dark and gloomy, and in addition to Miemenpo's territory, I always feel panicked.Now that Master has gone in, I would definitely be afraid if I stay outside alone.Therefore, I could only follow in the footsteps of Master Zhushan and walked into the mortuary.
As soon as I stepped into the mortuary, I felt something under my right foot.The thing was hard and bit my foot.I felt like I stepped on something, so I slowly lifted my right foot up.
I can't hang my right foot in the air all the time, not only can I not move, but it will be very difficult.Therefore, I had to bite the bullet and put my right foot down.
As soon as my right foot touched the ground, I felt the thing under my foot again.That thing is still as hard as before, but it feels bigger than the one just now.
The morgue was so dark, I couldn't see anything, and I didn't dare to bend down to remove the thing under my feet.
"Master, there is something under my feet." At this time, I was already trembling with fear from the thing under my feet.I know that the only one who can help me now is my master Zhushan old way.
As soon as I finished speaking, my master Zhushan Laodao flashed to me like a ghost.
"Stand still." My master Zhushan said.
After saying this, my master Zhushan Laodao began to recite the scriptures.Of course, I couldn't understand the scriptures he read.
But I know that my master Zhushan old man will not recite scriptures casually. There is only one situation that can make him recite scriptures, and that is when he encounters a ghost.
I don't know if it's because my heart is full of fear, but when my master reads the scriptures, I always feel the coldness on my back, that kind of coldness.
However, this cold feeling didn't last long. After my master Zhushan Laodao finished reading the scriptures, my back was not so cold.
"Okay, let's go!" My master said to me.Then bent down and took the thing under my feet away.
"What's that?" At this moment, the chill down my spine was no longer there, and my curiosity gradually came up.
"Do you want to know? Then take a look!" My master then handed me the thing in his hand.
For my master Zhushan Laodao, I now quite trust him.I know, I can't touch that thing if I want it, I can't touch it, my master Zhushan is absolutely impossible to give it to me.Now, my master took the initiative to pass that thing to me, which at least shows that that thing can never hurt me.
Out of trust in my master Zhushan Laodao, I stretched out my hand and took what he handed over.
As soon as my fingertips touched the thing, I felt something was wrong. The thing was hard, like a bone.I took it over and took a closer look. It was indeed a bone, and it looked like a bone in a human finger.When I thought it was a human bone, I was so scared that I stuffed it back to my master.
Originally, according to conditioned reflex, I should have thrown that bone directly to the ground.However, at the moment when I was about to let go, I suddenly seemed to understand something.I can't throw this bone casually. If it causes some disaster, it won't be worthwhile.So, I decided to return it to my master and let my master handle it.
My master can clearly see my behavior and reaction just now.After seeing me return the bone to him, my master nodded approvingly.
"Smell." My master Zhushan said to me very seriously.
Although I have thousands of people who are unwilling, but after seeing my master's serious face, I have to bite the bullet and take over the bone.
Probably because of the first experience, after taking the bone for the second time, I was not so scared, at least not as scared as the first time.
After taking the bone, I wanted to go through the motions and smell it, and then let it go perfunctorily.However, when the bone was close to my nose, I smelled a faint fragrance.That smell, some are like flowers, some are like perfume.Anyway, it smells good.So, I smelled it seriously.
"How is it? Do you smell anything?" Master Zhushan old man asked me.
"Sweet, really fragrant!" I sighed intoxicated.
"Do you know how the fragrance comes from?" Zhushan old man chased after me and asked.
When Master questioned me like this, I understood what he meant.My master must have wanted to take this opportunity to impart knowledge to me.
"I don't know." I answered Master honestly.
"This bone is from a human body. To be precise, it is the bone at the fingertip of a woman's right middle finger. This bone has no smell at first, but the reason why you smell it now is because this bone is Refined in corpse oil..."
While my master Zhushan Laodao was passing on the knowledge related to this broken bone to me, I was looking around and accidentally found a figure flashing past the door.
I'm pretty sure it was a person, not a ghost.The person was wearing a skirt and should be a woman.Although I couldn't see that person's face clearly, judging from his figure, that person should not be Miemenpo or Li Tianzhen.
Besides Miemenpo and Li Tianzhen, who else would dare to show up in Dongsongpo Village?
There are so many wild ghosts in my house now, it is no longer safe.This, my mother knows.What's more, my mother can tell whether my master treats me well or not.In my mother's opinion, my master Zhushan is an old man, and it is absolutely impossible for me to harm me.Therefore, after my master made this suggestion, although my mother was a little bit reluctant to part with me, she still agreed for my safety.
