Chapter 76: The Ghost General
There are underworlds and ghosts and villages in the world. I know that some ghosts in this world are unwilling to enter the underworlds and reincarnate after they die, so I live on my own corpse in the sun. Over time, these ghosts gather into villages and become ghost villages.
Su Yang once walked into the ghost village, on the back mountain of Xuanzhen Temple. The women in the ghost village were all harmed by the people in Xuanzhen Temple. Now the ghost village where Su Yang and Old Man Liang came to is a village where too many dead people gathered here.
The sky was dark and dark. Old Man Liang felt cold when he walked here, but Su Yang was standing there, so there was a force that made him feel at ease. Old Man Liang didn't feel so afraid.
Looking around, the place where he settled was a hill. Old man Liang followed Su Yang to the mountain and could see sparse grass and trees on both sides of the mountain road, while the village above the hill was even darker, and there was no light in the room.
Su Yang and Old Man Liang came all the way to the village. Old Man Liang looked at the houses around the village, which were mostly flat and high and wide, with only a few dilapidated ones, and there was no one in the whole village.
"Honor, is there no one here?"
Old Man Liang asked Su Yang in a low voice, his voice was very low, fearing that he would alarm the ghosts here.
Su Yang smiled and said, "There are all ghosts here, only the two of us are humans." Su Yang's voice was very normal. When the four silences were all silent, the voice came from afar, which made Old Man Liang shrank quickly when he heard the sound, and looked around vigilantly, for fear of seeing the ghosts.
"Look there."
Su Yang patted Old Man Liang on the shoulder and pointed to a place. Old Man Liang looked over and saw a vague figure among the plants and trees. The two were far apart. Old Man Liang's eyes met this person. Seeing this person's eyes were turbid and dull, just like when he saw the corpse's eyes often seen when he saw the death of someone, he was dull and blind.
In an instant, Old Man Liang felt a cool air rising up along his spine, and his scalp became numb and even the ends of his hair stood up.
The ghost looked at Su Yang and Old Man Liang, and suddenly hid in the grass.
Su Yang walked in the village. Old Man Liang was confused at this moment. He always felt the shade behind Su Yang, as if someone had been watching him. From time to time, he turned around and saw only the vast smoke and sparse grass and trees rustling.
"This is your wife's house."
Su Yang came to the front of a low house and pointed at it.
Old Man Liang looked at the house in front of him and saw that the house was low and dilapidated, and the door was rotten. He could only barely tie the door with a weave rope. Inside the house, there were also sobbing sounds of crying.
With Su Yang beside him, Old Man Liang was also brave. Listening to the sobbing sounds inside, Old Man Liang reached out and untied the rope at the door and wanted to go into the house.
"Who are you?"
The voice of an old woman came from beside her. Old Man Liang looked back and saw an old woman with a hunched body. She looked like she was sixty or seventy years old. She was holding the door of the fence with one hand and staring at her place. Her eyes were mostly like humans, and she didn't have the feeling of corpse that she peeped at the ghost.
At this moment, Old Man Liang knew that this person was a ghost, but he was not very scared. He looked at the old woman and bowed and said, "I am Wang's husband, come here to find her."
"You are her husband?"
The old woman looked at Old Man Liang up and down. Perhaps she was dizzy in her eyes. At this time, she didn't realize that Old Man Liang was a human being and a ghost, and said, "You finally came to find her."
Old Man Liang nodded.
"This little lady is the most infatuated woman I have ever seen in a century."
The old woman held the fence and said, "For twenty years, she has not rested for a moment. She goes out in the sun every day and comes back at night to spy on the house she lived in. You have strong yang energy and she cannot enter. She listens to your family's family all day long. If you hear praise from you, you will be overjoyed when you come back. If you hear the words scolding her from you, you will be in a state of mind when you come back..."
The old woman talked about the day because the sun was the night in the underworld. When it was dawn in the world, it was time for them to rest.
After this person died, many people would not help but talk about the dead people when they said their family was wrong. These trivial words were heard by ghosts. Thinking of the benefits of the dead people made Wang happy, but when talking about Wang's bad things or some misunderstandings, Wang could not defend himself.
When Old Man Liang heard these words, he felt something in his heart. He turned around and looked at the house, and the sound of sobs and crying inside was constantly.
Is it because I hurt them so I feel guilty?
"You people in the world have forgotten them too quickly."
The old woman looked at Old Man Liang and rebuked, "On the second day of the second month, Qingming Cold Food Festival, and on the first day of the October 10th, there are only so many days for you to come to repair the grave and burn paper in a year, but your family has not been here for many years. She has been thinking about you all the time. She is still thinking about you every day. Watching you sleep, watching your children study and start a career. If the child is sick, she has no choice but to do anything. The child is bullied and harmed, she grits her teeth and is resentful..."
The old woman criticized Old Man Liang here, and was also talking about the current situation of Wang's family in the ghost village. Old Man Liang was listening. Listening to his wife's concern for the family after her death, Old Man Liang felt that he was not as concerned as his wife after all.
A gentleman does not let others down, and does not mean that there are differences in life and death.
However, human feelings are mostly human beings, and love is there. If a person dies, love will die. Just like Xu Sheng, it is just that the master just died and when he goes to Dr. Chen, he will no longer be welcomed.
But in normal times, no one cares about the feelings of the dead. At this time, Old Man Liang knew that it made him feel sad.
The small door of the liyuan suddenly opened. Old Man Liang turned around and saw his wife standing in the courtyard. Her appearance was still the same, affectionate, and there was no resentment from last night between her eyebrows. Instead, it looked like when Wang often looked at him during his lifetime.
"You're here."
Wang looked at Old Man Liang and said, her eyes were rosy and there were still signs of crying.
Old Man Liang nodded to Wang, looking at his old appearance, everything was like his wife nineteen years ago. This familiar voice, gentle tone, and deep affection made him feel like he was a different life.
"I am coming."
Old Man Liang looked at Wang, and his resentment towards Wang was mostly gone, but looked at Wang and said, "Don't you blame me?"
Wang shook his head repeatedly and said, "In my early years, I just passed away. I heard someone coming up to say hello and looked around all day long. There was no peaceful day for a moment. I heard you reject one after another. Only then did I feel happy. But for the past twenty years, I have seen you lonely every night, sick and painful, and there was no intimate person around me who spoke, and I also wanted to let you marry another."
When they were talking, the hands of the two were held together. Old Man Liang felt that his wife's palms were cold, but everything was the same. However, Wang realized that Old Man Liang had wrinkles on his hands. For nearly twenty years, he was finally able to tell the past together. At this time, the two were extremely moved and felt that there was endless things to say, but for a moment, they didn't know where to start.
"You said you wanted me to marry, why did you become like this after I took Kunxia?"
After a moment of silence, Old Man Liang asked about what Wang did last night.
When Wang heard this, his desolate expression suddenly arose and said, "It's not what I want. It's a strong man in this ghost village. He wants to order all the ghosts around him to use. If the ghost wants to resist, his soul will suddenly scatter. After the ghost lives here, the corpses of our people here are all different, and their mood changes day by day. After more than ten years, they are completely unrecognizable and completely lost their previous nostalgia. I was also influenced by the ghost. I was able to do things calmly when I went to my house every day, but I recently saw you taking a concubine, and I saw the people around me and Kunxia. I heard my son call Kunxia a mother. All my vivid evil thoughts came up, making me feel different from myself."
Wang covered his chest with one hand and said, "Even now, I feel a sense of inexplicable depression in my chest. As long as I can go out at night, I am afraid I will have another face."
Old man Liang turned around and looked at Su Yang.
Su Yang was holding a peach wood branch in his hand and was looking around. He saw Old Man Liang looking at him and said with a smile: "What your wife said is true."
Old Man Liang looked at Wang and said, "I don't doubt what she said is true or false, but... I'll move your grave out tomorrow."
Moving out will avoid being bullied by the ghosts here.
Wang shook his head sadly and said, "He has many eyeliners. Once he is targeted by him, even if he escapes, he can catch up. It is impossible to avoid relocating the grave."
“Eyeliner?”
Old man Liang was surprised.
"Those who have eyes like dead bodies were originally ghosts here. Since the strong man came here, they have had the greatest influence and have now become his dog legs."
Wang said: "Someone here knows the news about each of our households, and no one can escape directly."
When Old Man Liang heard this, his whole body became cold. He suddenly remembered that when he just came here, a man with eyes like a dead body saw him. When he thought of this, he trembled all over.
“Honor, we…”
Old man Liang looked at Su Yang and said with his lips trembling.
"We've been targeted."
Su Yang looked at Old Man Liang and smiled, with a peach branch in his hand, letting him look ahead, and said, "Look, they are here."
Old man Liang looked in the direction Su Yang Taozhi pointed, as if a black curtain was pulled apart. In the sparse weeds, one figure after another stood up and walked towards this side. Their eyes were like dead bodies.
