Zhou Dashan of Zhushi Village is an ordinary farm man.
Both of his parents died when he was young, and it was his sister Zhou Xiaojuan who raised him. As the saying goes, an eldest sister is like a mother, and Zhou Dashan also respects and loves his sister very much.
After Zhou Dashan became an adult, Zhou Xiaojuan married to a neighboring village, and Zhou Dashan began to live alone.
On this day, he was working in the fields as usual, when his friend Liu Youqing from the same village suddenly ran over out of breath.
"Da Shan, come on, come with me." He was panting heavily while pulling Zhou Dashan to run.
Zhou Dashan almost fell down when he pulled him, "Slow down, what happened? Are you so panicked?"
Liu Youqing coughed several times before he could breathe again, "Can't slow down, your sister, your sisterโโ"
Now it was Zhou Dashan who was anxious, "What happened to my sister?!"
"Your sister is dead! Come with me!" As soon as Liu Youqing finished speaking, Zhou Dashan was stunned.
Liu Youqing took the opportunity to grab Zhou Dashan and ran to the neighboring village.
When Zhou Dashan saw Zhou Xiaojuan's body, he still had a serious sense of unreality.
He saw his sister's husband and mother-in-law crying around the bed, but his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what they were doing.
The surroundings were very quiet. Zhou Dashan couldn't hear any sound, he could only hear his own heartbeat like a drum.
Liu Youqing saw Zhou Dashan froze in place and did not step forward, so he pushed him anxiously.
Zhou Dashan stumbled forward and finally saw his sister's face. At this moment, all the surrounding sounds came back, and the sobbing and wailing came up like a tide.
At this time, Zhou Dashan had a real feeling. He suddenly realized that his sister was dead and his only relative was gone.
Zhou Dashan cried like a child.
Her husband's family treated Zhou Xiaojuan well. Although she failed to give birth to a son and a half, she was still loved by her parents-in-law and neighbors because of her kindness and hard work.
Her husband's family prepared a coffin for Zhou Xiaojuan, and Zhou Dashan insisted on paying half of the price, saying: "She is my sister, I can't say nothing."
Not only that, on the day of Zhou Xiaojuan's burial, several monks came The family chanted sutras and prayed for her.
According to Liu Youqing, they were monks from Lingjue Temple on the mountain behind the two villages.
Zhou Xiaojuan was a frequent visitor to Lingjue Temple during her lifetime. She would go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha whenever she had time.
Zhou Dashan knew that his sister did this in the hope of having another child. Zhou Xiaojuan was pregnant before, but due to difficult labor, the baby was held in for too long and ran out of breath as soon as it came out.
After that, she had nothing to do. Although her husband's family didn't make things difficult for her with the child, she couldn't live with it.
The monks were chanting sutras around the coffin. Zhou Dashan stepped forward and wanted to see his sister before sealing the coffin.
He stepped forward and stared at his sister's face. Zhou Xiaojuan's expression was peaceful, as if she was asleep.
At this moment, Zhou Dashan suddenly noticed that Zhou Xiaojuan's eyelids suddenly twitched.
He was stunned. Before he could rub his eyes, he saw Zhou Xiaojuan's eyelids twitching again, as if she was trying to open her eyes.
Zhou Dashan walked up to Liu Youqing with a stiff expression and asked in a low voice: "Will the eyelids still move after a person dies?"
Liu Youqing looked at him as if he was a fool, "Are you stupid? What happens when people are dead? Move?" When
heard this, Zhou Dashan laughed, "My sister is not dead!" He rushed to the coffin to take Zhou Xiaojuan out. When
the people around him saw him, they all rushed forward and hugged him tightly. Zhou Dashan was stopped but he was still shouting, "My sister is not dead! My sister is not dead!"
The villagers looked at him with sympathy, thinking that he could not bear the blow and had mental problems.
Zhou Dashan was so anxious that he was sweating all over, and he quickly shouted that he saw Zhou Xiaojuan's eyelids twitching.
Someone stepped forward to look, but found nothing. Zhou Dashan broke free from the restraints and rushed forward, leaning next to the coffin.
As expected, there was no movement from Zhou Xiaojuan in the coffin.
โAmitabha."At this time, a monk stepped forward and said to Zhou Dashan: "I can understand the donor's mood. But people cannot be resurrected, so you need to let go when itโs time to let go. "
Zhou Dashan sat paralyzed on the ground, no longer resisting when others pulled him away. He watched helplessly as Zhou Xiaojuan's coffin was sealed, buried, and the pit filled.
By the time he got home, it was already midnight.
Liu Youqing didn't Concerned about Zhou Dashan's mental condition, he offered to stay with him, but was politely declined.
After returning home, Zhou Dashan stayed awake all night and sat beside the oil lamp until dawn.
He remained like this for the next few days. Liu Youqing couldn't stand it anymore, so he took him up the mountain to hunt from time to time, hoping to distract him.
This trick was indeed effective. After a while, although Zhou Dashan did not completely get over the pain of losing his sister, his spirit recovered. Quite a bit.
On this day, the two went hunting again, and ran deeper into the woods to chase a wild boar, but in the end the wild boar ran away.
Liu Youqing gasped and cursed. He was much calmer and advised Liu Youqing to sit down and rest before going down the mountain.
However, just when Liu Youqing's butt was about to fall to the ground, Zhou Dashan suddenly stopped him.
Zhou Dashan told Liu Youqing to be quiet. , walked forward slowly and moved to his side.
When Liu Youqing came over, Zhou Dashan pointed to the place where Liu Youqing was sitting just now and showed him.
It turned out that there was a big snake as thick as an adult's arm lying there. Under the tree, he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Because of the color and location, if you didn't look carefully, you would just think it was a tree root.
Liu Youqing exclaimed slightly. If he had done it by himself, it would have been almost as if he was sleeping. He put it into the snake's mouth.
If the snake was poisonous, he would die on the spot; even if it was not poisonous, he would not be able to bear the bite.
At this moment, the big snake seemed to be disturbed by Liu Youqing's voice. When it woke up, it started to twist.
Seeing this, Liu Youqing turned around and pulled Zhou Dashan to run away, but Zhou Dashan didn't move.
He found that the snake was twisting in a strange way, and it seemed to be unwell. The belly is swollen, as if a woman is pregnant.
"What are you looking at? Let's go quickly." Liu Youqing reminded him in a low voice.
Zhou Dashan was still staring at the snake, "That seems to be a female snake, and she seems to be having difficulty giving birth."
Liu Youqing was speechless, "What does that have to do with us? It's not us who caused her to have a difficult delivery. Let's go quickly." "
Zhou Dashan frowned and thought of Zhou Xiaojuan for some reason.
When Zhou Xiaojuan gave birth, he could only wait outside the house and did not help at all. Therefore, Zhou Dashan himself felt guilty for his little nephew who died young.
"Liu Brother, if you want to leave, go ahead. I want to stay and help her. I once heard the grandmother in the village talk about related skills, which should be able to help. "
Liu Youqing was stunned. Help? Help for what? He asked innocently: "Are you going to help her deliver the baby?" "
Seeing Zhou Dashan nodding with a serious look on his face, Liu Youqing could not move forward. He also squatted down and observed how Zhou Dashan delivered the baby snake.
Zhou Dashan approached the female snake cautiously and squatted down. , said softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you. "
The female snake also looked very spiritual and did not make any attack.
Liu Youqing looked at it with eyes wide open. He wanted to remind Zhou Dashan to be careful, but he did not dare to speak rashly.
Zhou Dashan jumped out of the basket on his back He took out a silver needle, which was originally used to pick up blisters, but now it came in handy.
He adjusted the position of the silver needle, inserted it into the middle of the snake egg, and began to extract the egg white from the snake egg. When he pulled out the needle, the snake eggs were obviously much smaller. Then, he used his thumb to gently push the eggs into the female snake's anus.
After a while, several intact snake eggs appeared in front of them.
"Real or false..." When Liu Youqing saw this scene, his curiosity overcame his fear, and he came forward to get a better look.
Zhou Dashan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the female snake: "The egg has come out. What you need to do next is to rest."
Seeing that the female snake kept staring at him, she clicked after listening to his words. Nodding, Zhou Dashan understood that the female snake had understood what he said.
Liu Youqing nodded when he saw the female snake. He was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear and said that this snake must be spiritual.
After hearing what he said, Zhou Dashan smiled and went down the mountain with Liu Youqing without taking it seriously.
What he didn't know was that the female snake kept staring at his back with grateful eyes until his figure disappeared from sight.
On the way back to the village, Liu Youqing continued to praise Zhou Dashan and asked him how he knew how to deliver a female snake.
Zhou Dashan smiled sheepishly and said that he saw it when he was reading miscellaneous books.
When he was a child, he was naughty and mischievous. Zhou Xiaojuan wanted him to go to school to read more and learn more knowledge.
But he was always impatient. Instead, he looked for a lot of miscellaneous books to read. Zhou Xiaojuan spanked him frequently for this.
When talking about the deceased Zhou Xiaojuan, the atmosphere suddenly condensed, and both of them fell silent and stopped talking.
Before leaving, Liu Youqing said "take care" to Zhou Dashan as usual, and then turned and left.
In the following days, everything was business as usual.
Until one day, Liu Youqing came to Zhou Dashan and said that his brother out of town was getting married and he needed to go there in advance to help.
Zhou Dashan sent his blessings and wished Liu Youqing a safe journey. Liu Youqing was worried about going to Dashan and asked him if he wanted to go with him.
Zhou Dashan shook his head. He had not yet come out of the haze of losing his sister, and going there would only cause trouble for himself.
Liu Youqing saw that he could not be persuaded, so he had to tell him again and again not to do stupid things. When he came back, they would go hunting together in the mountains. After saying this, he turned around and left.
Zhou Dashan stayed at home for a few days, feeling depressed and depressed, so he decided to go for a walk in the mountains alone.
However, although Zhou Dashan has the word "mountain" in his name, his familiarity with the mountains and forests is far less than that of Liu Youqing. In the end, he succeeded in getting himself lost, getting further and further away from the main road.
There was no other way. Zhou Dashan could only continue walking to higher places, hoping to reach an open place where he could look out and determine the general route.
Unfortunately, God was not kind to him. Before he could reach the open area, heavy rain poured down on him, turning Zhou Dashan into a drowned rat.
Zhou Dashan's eyes were obscured by the rain and he couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so he could only run forward randomly.
Fortunately among misfortunes, he squinted and finally found a building in front of him. It turned out that he had accidentally arrived at Lingjue Temple.
Zhou Dashan stepped forward and slapped the door. Soon a monk came to open the door. Zhou Dashan took the opportunity to ask for accommodation, saying that he would leave when the rain stopped.
The monk seemed a little hesitant, but still let Zhou Dashan in.
He temporarily let Zhou Dashan stay in the main hall, while he went to ask his senior brother for instructions.
Zhou Dashan entered the solemn hall and saw two women standing not far away, both wearing raincoats. One had her head lowered, and the other's eyes met Zhou Dashan's.
Zhou Dashan consciously made eye contact with the other person, and he just hurriedly clasped his fists and apologized in embarrassment.
The woman ignored him and turned away. After a while, a monk walked into the temple and motioned for the woman to follow him to the back courtyard.
The two women walked out from Zhou Dashan one after another. When the woman in front passed by Zhou Dashan, Zhou Dashan suddenly heard, "You shouldn't be here. If you want to save your life, leave quickly."
Zhou Dashan suddenly turned his head to look at the woman, but she had already left the palace door and ignored her again.
The other woman was still walking out slowly. Zhou Dashan wanted to call her out, but he was worried about being rude to her, so he held it back.
When the woman passed by him, Zhou Dashan was stunned and bumped into her. The woman swayed twice, didn't say anything, and continued to walk forward with her head lowered.
At this time, he accidentally lowered his head and looked at the ground. There was no muddy water left where the woman had just walked.
But she is obviously soaked? Why is there no mud on the soles of shoes?
A cold wind blew by, and Zhou Dashan couldn't help but shiver. I heard someone from the older generation say before that there is a kind of person in this world who is good at controlling corpses.
They can control corpses and use magic to make their feet lift off the ground and their bodies hover. But because they walk very fast and deliberately avoid crowds, few people find them.
Is it possible that this happened to me today?
Zhou Dashan remembered again that the older generation once said that if you meet a corpse master and have contact with him, you may be contaminated with some bad things.
Thinking of this, Zhou Dashan panicked a little. When a monk came to guide him, he almost ran away from the door.
He discovered that the monk who led him was one of the people who had chanted sutras for Zhou Xiaojuan.
Seeing a familiar face also made Zhou Dashan feel relieved. After entering the house, he took the initiative to chat with the monk and asked about the origins of the two women.
A dark light flashed in the monk's eyes, and he asked why Zhou Dashan was so curious.
Zhou Dashan took this opportunity to express his findings and suspicions. The monk agreed and said that this seemed to be the case. It was said that if you collided with the corpse rider, you would get into trouble.
Hearing the monk say the same thing, Zhou Dashan panicked again. But then, the monk changed the subject and said kindly that if Zhou Dashan was really scared, he could hide in a closed place at night and hold a string of Buddhist beads in his hand.
At the same time, the monk also taught him a mantra, saying that if he heard any movement, he should close his eyes, turn the beads, and recite the mantra silently in his mouth, so that the corpse master would not be able to get close.
Zhou Dashan wrote down the formula and thanked the monk profusely. At night, he lay in bed unable to sleep.
was about to close his eyes with difficulty, but suddenly there was a sound of "dong, dong, dong" in his ears. It was like the sound of very heavy footsteps, but it was not made by ordinary people walking.
hit Zhou Dashan slowly and slowly. He jumped up from the bed, picked up the prayer beads on the side and quickly got into the closet.
But before he could hide for a while, a woman's voice sounded in Zhou Dashan's mind.
"My benefactor, don't hide in the closet. If you want to survive, hide under the bed!"
Zhou Dashan was stunned for a moment. At this moment, the female voice rang again, "My benefactor, I was the one you helped that day. Snake, I won't harm you. If my benefactor wants to survive, he must not hide in the cabinet. The safest place is under the bed. "But, the master of Lingjue Temple asked me to hide in the cabinet?" Zhou Dashan subconsciously asked the doubts in his heart, but the female voice did not respond.
Zhou Dashan thought for a while, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, climbed out of the closet again, closed the closet door and quickly got under the bed.
As soon as he lay down under the bed with his front feet, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open with his back feet.
But judging from the sound of footsteps, the person who came should be a normal walking person. The man walked to the bed first and was so frightened that Zhou Dashan didn't dare to express his anger.
He heard the sound of the wardrobe being opened, then being slammed shut again.
At this time, footsteps came from the door again, and it seemed that someone had come in again.
My room is quite lively at night. Zhou Dashan huddled under the small bed, thinking happily.
"Where's the man?"
"I don't know. Didn't you tell him to hide in the closet at night?"
"He won't run around, right?"
"He was so scared by the corpse driver, No. "
" is not afraid of anything. If he finds out... "
" go and look elsewhere. If "
" finds it, don't worry about it. Get rid of it, just like before. "
"Don't worry, senior brother, when have we ever made a mistake?"
Then, the two of them left the house one after another.
Zhou Dashan was lying at the bottom of the bed, the more he listened, the colder his heart became. One of the two people who entered the room just now was the monk from before. Judging from the conversation, the other person is also a monk here.
But what they just said was that they wanted to find themselves and then kill themselves, just to hide some secret.
Zhou Dashan slowly crawled out from under the bed, feeling that this night was really extremely long.
He was thinking about what to do next. After much deliberation, he had to leave this ghost place first.
Fortunately, the rain had stopped at this time, the silver moonlight shone on the earth, and Zhou Dashan could see the road outside the house clearly.
It's just that he didn't look at the road well when he entered the back courtyard, and now he actually got lost again. Instead, he walked deeper and deeper in circles and came to a completely unfamiliar place.
He was just about to go back the way he came, but he saw a figure walking this way. Zhou Dashan could only bite the bullet and hide behind an unclosed door.
However, as the figure got closer and closer, Zhou Dashan began to realize that hiding in the house was a very unwise move.
There were no windows in this room, so he could only explore around, hoping to find something like a secret door.
Finally, he groped for a sealed cellar entrance. Treating a dead horse like a living horse, he picked the lock, opened the cellar and got in.
After Zhou Dashan entered the cellar, he discovered that the cellar was completely dark.
He had just taken two steps when he heard a woman's voice, "Who is it?"
Zhou Dashan was almost frightened and rolled down the steps. He could only respond honestly, "Someone is chasing me. I have no choice but to do it." Hide in-"
was stunned mid-sentence. What kind of woman would stay in a cellar most of the night? Besides, isnโt Lingjue Temple a temple? How could there be a woman?
At this time, the woman's voice rang again, "If you are not from Lingjue Temple, can you help us untie you first?"
Just as Zhou Dashan was about to answer, he felt a impact on his back, and he walked all the way from the steps. Fell down.
He struggled to sit up. At this time, the entire cellar lit up, and the light came from a lantern held by a monk.
As for who the monk is, Zhou Dashan is very familiar with it. Only now did he realize that there were four girls tied up in the cellar.
Zhou Dashan was completely confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. The monk obviously didn't intend to let him die, so he picked up the knife and chopped at him.
Zhou Dashan rolled sideways and dodged. However, the space in the cellar is small, and the two of them come and go, but no one is left behind.
Zhou Dashan was injured due to the fall and was about to be at a disadvantage.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from nowhere, and the lantern held by the monk suddenly went out.
The whole cellar became dark again. At this moment, Zhou Dashan suddenly heard the monk scream "Ah".
Suddenly, the candle lit up again by itself. The monk had fallen to the ground at this time, and a woman was standing next to him, the corpse master!
Zhou Dashan's eyes widened, but the woman asked him to go out and ask if he had any questions. After saying that, he stepped forward and untied the women.
The two men escaped from the cellar with the women and led them back to the main hall.
Along the way, Zhou Dashan and the others saw the corpse of the monk lying on the ground, but strangely they did not see a bloody scene, as if everyone was killed in one blow.
After the woman settled the girls, she walked to Zhou Dashan.
The woman said that her name was Yu Huiling, and she was indeed a corpse master. However, unlike what Zhou Dashan knew, she would not kill people randomly just because others knew her identity.
"Originally I didn't intend to get you involved, but you didn't listen to me when I advised you to leave. It really caused me a lot of trouble. But fortunately, you also found reinforcements and helped me."
reinforcements? Just as Zhou Dashan was scratching his head, a big snake as thick as an adult's arm crawled in from outside the hall.
(The book card has been added here, please go to the Toutiao client to view)
"My dear, it's great that you are okay."
The voice in Zhou Dashan's head rang again.
"You saved me, but why did you come here? What happened to those girls who were tied up?"
Seeing that Zhou Dashan was still confused, Yu Huiling slowly told the whole story.
Yu Huiling, as a corpse controller, studied under an elder. And that elder once had a senior brother named Lingjue.
But later, Lingjue was expelled from the school because he was found to be practicing corpse refining in private. Later, he built Lingjue Temple.
After the Lingjue Temple was built, bodies were lost from time to time in the surrounding towns and villages.
Yu Huiling had not yet left the army at that time. The master was unable to travel far because of his old age, and there was no evidence, so he kept his troops stationary.
Later, the phenomenon of missing bodies eased, but Yu Huiling discovered that many female pilgrims died inexplicably not long after returning home after going to Lingjue Temple to pay homage and offer incense.
This aroused her alarm, so she started a secret investigation, and finally discovered that Lingjue Temple has been secretly engaged in human trafficking.
In fact, those women were not really dead, but were affected by the magic of Lingjue Temple and entered a state of suspended animation.
If you don't observe it yourself, it is indeed as if you are dead. Then, the monks from Lingjue Temple will go to the deceased's home in the name of chanting sutras to find out the burial location.
In the dead of night, they would sneak up the mountain, dig out the dead, take them into the temple, and then sell them elsewhere after the limelight has passed.
After Yu Huiling found out, she pretended to be a seller with a "source of goods" and said that she had "fresh goods" to trade.
Everything was fine at first, but Zhou Dashan showed up halfway, making the monk think that his secret had been discovered, so he canceled the transaction temporarily.
Yu Huiling had no choice but to turn to a violent attack. However, she is a woman after all, and she is difficult to defeat with three punches and four hands.
At this moment, the big snake sprang out from nowhere, one bite at a time. Anyone bitten by her was instantly paralyzed and fell to the ground.
It was also the snake that took Yu Huiling all the way to the cellar and finally rescued the women.
After hearing what Yu Huiling said, Zhou Dashan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.
He had no idea that such a seemingly sacred place could actually be a devil's cave.
From the initial robbery and refining of corpses to the more lucrative human trafficking, these people's actions have become increasingly crazier.
If it hadn't been for Yu Huiling, I'm afraid I would have died here.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhou Dashan's mind, "In this way, my sister is probably not dead either!"
Yu Huiling nodded and said: "Their last batch of 'goods' was headed to Youzhou. If We are fast enough, so we should still be able to make it in time."
The two of them went down the mountain overnight to report to the authorities. Finally, under the investigation of the authorities, they finally rescued the women who were about to be taken to Youzhou and sold.
Among them is Zhou Dashanโs sister, Zhou Xiaojuan.
When the siblings met, they cried and hugged each other. And with the resurrection of those "dead", the sins of Lingjue Temple were completely exposed.
This incident even alarmed the imperial court. The emperor ordered a thorough investigation and rescued more women.
Lingjue Temple was also turned into ruins amidst the anger of countless people.
Afterwards, Yu Huiling said goodbye to Zhou Dashan. She said that although there were scum like her uncle among the corpse masters, she still felt that this kind of magic could still help others as long as it was used properly.
She decided to help those who had died in a foreign land return to their roots and return to their hometown, so she bid farewell to Zhou Dashan and continued on the road.
Liu Youqing also heard about this incident in other places, but when he rushed back, everything had settled.
However, when he saw the "resurrected" Zhou Xiaojuan, he was still shocked.
Liu Youqing pulled Zhou Dashan aside and asked curiously: "What happened that night? Please tell me in detail."
Zhou Dashan smiled heartily and said: "It takes a long time to talk about it. , Brother Liu, why don't you and I come to my house for a drink? Let's talk while we don't drink.โ
