The story takes place in During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Tangzi village at the foot of Mount Wutai. Every household in the village raised pigs. Every time during the Chinese New Year, everyone would lead the pig to the door to see whose pigs were big and fat, and to select the "Pig King". It is also true that every household has a pig-killing knife at home.
The most powerful one is the butcher knife hanging in the ancestral hall at the entrance of the village. Legend has it that this butcher knife was rewarded by a prince a hundred years ago. The blade was made of black iron outside the sky. It is extremely hard and extremely sharp. The owner of the butcher knife was the best butcher in the village at that time. He used that knife to slaughter countless pigs and sheep in his life, and was also contaminated with murderous aura. It was the best object to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts.
The descendant of the butcher knife owner is now guarding the ancestral hall. He is also the only witch in the village. His surname is Guan, and everyone likes to call her Grandma Guan.
Whenever someone gets mad, Grandma Guan will come to the door with the butcher knife and chop it down on the shoulders and heads of the person who is possessed. That knife cannot hurt people, but it is very useful to evil spirits. Almost every time it can cure people with evil.
Until this winter, a woman named Arou in the village was taken aback and fell into the pigpen and bit her two little pigs at home to death. Her husband Wang Han went to the ancestral hall to ask a butcher knife to exorcise his wife. Grandma Guan did not refuse. She thought she could handle it easily as usual, but what Grandma Guan didn't expect was that after using the butcher knife to chop A Rou three times, she not only did not respond, but even pounced on her and almost bit her arm.
Grandma Guan was startled and realized that things were not that simple, so she asked everyone to temporarily control A Rou and asked her husband Wang Han what happened. Wang Han hesitated for a moment, but when he saw his crazy wife, he finally said everything.
It turns out that every year when slaughtering pigs in Tangzi Village, there is an unwritten rule, that is, all the women in the village must leave their homes, either chat at the entrance of the village or go back to their parents' homes. Anyway, they cannot see pigs slaughtering, and they can only go home after slaughtering the pigs.
The reason is very simple. The older generation says that women are soft-hearted and raising pigs is the task of women in the village. Seeing the pigs they raised are cruelly killed, they will definitely not bear it. In addition, there is resentment before the pig dies. For example, when killing a sheep, the sheep is silent, but when killing a pig, the pig will keep struggling and chirping.
This means that pigs have strong spirituality, and creatures with stronger spirituality recognize their masters. Once they are killed, they will have deep resentment in their hearts. If the hostess is here, if they don’t save her, they will definitely feel resentful and may also bother the hostess after death.
And on the day of the pig killing, Arou got up late and did not leave the house in time. When her husband Wang Han and everyone carried the fat pig at home to the door to prepare to take the knife, she wanted to leave, but when she heard the pig's scream, she softened again, so she wanted to persuade her husband whether she could take the knife again.
But when she just walked to the door, she witnessed the fat pig at home being killed. What's even more strange is that the pig also saw A Rou in the yard. Instead of howling, it stared at her directly, as if it wanted to remember it in its heart. Arou didn't dare to stay and immediately left through the back door.
At the evening, Arou returned home, but the pig had been cleaned by her husband and she also made a large table of dishes. But for some reason, looking at the meat on the table, Arou had no appetite at all. Instead, she remembered the situation when the pigs at home were killed, so she didn't eat them at all and turned to bed to rest. As a result, the next day, Arou went crazy and got into the pigpen and bit her two piglets to death.
Grandma Guan was shocked after hearing this and realized that A Rou was indeed entangled by the pig's resentment. She came to A Rou again, took out two willow leaves from her arms, , and wiped them on her eyelids. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pig-headed monster lying behind A Rou. It was this monster that was controlling Arou's body.
Grandma Guan frowned slightly, and then spoke and communicated with the monster. But in the eyes of Wang Han and others, Grandma Guan was just a great god, dancing with her hands and feet, and she kept chanting strange spells, and they couldn't understand a word.
After a while, Grandma Guan stopped moving, then walked to Wang Han, shook her head and said, "You are right. She did see pig killing and broke the rules of the village, but she shouldn't have eaten that piece of meat!"
It turned out that although A Rou didn't eat the first time that night, she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, so she sneaked into the kitchen and ate the remaining pork. It was also because the pig's unjust soul thought that A Rou didn't plan to save her at all and ate her meat. Then she pestered her. Grandma Guan comforted her for a long time, but she was unwilling to let A Rou go and controlled her to bite the two pigs at home to death, hoping that the two pigs would come down to accompany her, so as not to be raised in the future and then killed.
It was Arou who ate the pork and established a connection with it, which caused the butcher knife to directly drive away the wronged soul possessed by her.
Wang Han was shocked after hearing this and hurriedly asked Grandma Guan what to do. Grandma Guan pondered for a moment: "Since it's so soft, I can only be hard!"
Grandma Guan asked Wang Han to burn all the remaining pork and could no longer be eaten. Then she called two children and made a big jar of boy urine. Afterwards, Grandma Guan put the bodies of the two piglets into the jar and soaked them with the boy's urine for more than an hour. When she opened the jar again, the smell almost made Wang Han faint. After
, Grandma Guan asked everyone to control Arou, and she carried the can of boy urine and poured it into Arou's mouth. After a while, a gurgling sound came from Arou's stomach. The next second, she became a "human fountain" and vomited wildly. The pork she ate at night was also spit out. What's strange is that the meat that had been stewed was raw.
After seeing A Rou vomit completely, Grandma Guan immediately picked up the butcher knife and slashed it at A Rou's sky spirit cover. Accompanied by a shrill scream, Arou rolled her eyes and fainted. When she woke up again, she had returned to normal, but she didn't know anything about her being possessed by evil spirits. After this incident, Wang Han and Arou moved out of the village and never killed pigs for the rest of their lives.
