How guilty I feel, how frightened I am at this moment.
"It's thundering?"
"It is going to rain?"
"Why is there thunder?"
"Go and see..."
"Outside, there are all stars outside, not a single cloud can be seen..."
"How could there be a thunderbolt in the night!"
"Could it be Thunder Lord..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
For a moment the courtyard was filled with people's voices.
Everyone finally calmed down, but they were still in shock and full of hesitation.
"Father……"
"Second uncle..."
Everyone looked at the old man in the seat.
Everyone's meaning is very clear.
Everyone knows that this kind of thing is extremely immoral and cannot be tolerated by nature. I was already very worried about doing this kind of thing, but for no reason, there was a thunder in the sky, and everyone was worried about whether they should continue to do it or not.
I'm afraid that if I continue, I will be struck by lightning.
The old man is not afraid.
At this moment, another servant ran in and said: "Report to the master, the two guests who just sent away are back again."
"What?"
"Why are you back again?"
"What are you doing back here?"
Everyone stared at this servant.
"The gentleman in the lead said that he was watching the sky at night and felt that something was not right here, so he came to check. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw a thunderbolt in the sky on a clear night. He may have done something against the laws of nature and injured someone.
Tianhe..." The servant carefully looked at everyone, "Because the master entertained him for a meal and gave him a house to stay, he was grateful, so he came here to explore."
Everyone looked at each other for a moment.
"Please come quickly!"
The old man stood up immediately.
After a while, Song You and his party were welcomed in.
"gentlemen……"
The old man greeted him at the door of the house and bowed deeply.
"No need to be polite."
Song You said to him calmly.
The swordsman in gray followed him with a sword, his face expressionless, and his eyes less respectful than before.
I was respectful and polite before because they were strangers to me and I entertained them. I was kind to them, so I naturally had to be respectful to them. But now I know that they did such a thing, even if what the farmer said at night about being buried alive was not true.
Yes, just tying a bride to marry a dead man is intolerable.
Just like a thunder in the sky.
It's not the burial of a living person that is so threatening, it's just the matter of tying a bride and marrying a dead person, which is worthy of this thunderbolt in the clear night.
I saw the old man respectfully said: "I heard Mr. just now say that it was because our family did something that harmed the peace of the world, and this caused the thunderbolt in the clear night. I don't know what this means?"
"You should know better than me what I did."
"this……"
"Actually, I can guess a little bit."
"Sir, please give me some advice."
"As the saying goes, there is a difference between yin and yang. Marriage between living people and ghosts will harm the harmony of nature. If it is voluntary, it is fine, but if it is forced, it is not allowed by nature." Song You's tone was calm, but the words he said were scary, "
The thunderbolt in the clear night just now is just the beginning, if my father-in-law insists on doing it, I am afraid that the whole family will be in disaster."
"What disaster is coming?"
"Hard to say."
The old man couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. He opened his eyes wide and looked at each other with relatives, friends and juniors around him.
I heard someone behind me ask:
"Do you really mean what you said, sir?"
Everyone could hear that the person who spoke suspected that Song You was a charlatan, who had seen the vision of the sky and the earth like a thunderbolt on a clear night, and then came back again, hoping to use this to defraud some money.
However, just as the Taoist turned around——
"Boom!"
Another bolt from the blue.
This time it was closer.
The blast just now still exploded in the air, but this time it hit the roof directly, causing the tiles to shatter and scatter in all directions. It also shocked everyone in the room to the point where they almost lost their souls. Some people screamed in surprise, and some were covered in shock.
Trembling, some people even subconsciously bent down and wanted to hide.
I saw the Taoist looking calm.
"Everyone has also seen that the thunderbolt just now was indeed just the beginning, and the reason why I came back to help is just because I thought of the hospitality you just received, and I feel that you are helpless. Without your warm hospitality,
Maybe now, everyone present has suffered a big disaster."
Song You's tone was sincere and there was not a single lie in his words.
"I am returning from this trip, and I can promise you that I will not take a penny from you, but will only help you to avoid disasters and solve your problems... Besides, you have also seen it. With such majestic power, how can I dare to use this to deceive?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.
After all, it was the old man who had more knowledge. After hearing his ouch, he stood up, raised his hands and asked, "I wonder which master you are, sir?"
"I am currently practicing in Lingquan County, Yizhou."
"It turns out he is an expert from Yizhou." The old man continued to ask respectfully, "I wonder if you, sir, have any clever ideas or methods that can resolve the disaster of my Ding family?"
“In order to resolve a disaster, we must first know what the disaster is.”
"this……"
The old man seemed a little embarrassed to speak.
Song You just smiled when he saw this and continued to ask: "I wonder where the bride is?"
"Bride?"
Everyone looked at each other again.
The bride has not yet walked through the door, how can she show it to others casually?
"gentlemen……"
"It's not that I'm asking for too much. It's really the power of God and the fury of Thunder God. If it is not resolved early, being struck by thunder from the sky is just a trivial matter. I'm afraid there will be a bigger disaster."
"this……"
The old man hesitated for a while.
He looked up at the sky, then at the calm-looking Song You and the expressionless swordsman beside him, and finally gritted his teeth and waved his hand:
"Go and bring it here."
"yes……"
Someone came over immediately.
Then two big men came with the bride.
At this time, the bride is still wearing a wedding dress, still tied with ropes, still gagged, and covered with a red hijab.
When the bride was brought, the man withdrew.
"call……"
It's strange to say that there was a sudden gust of wind even though we were in the room.
This wind does not blow anyone else, only the bride.
Just opened the hijab.
The candlelight in the room was dim, the curtains were raised and lowered, and shadows were revealed, revealing a delicate face, who looked to be in his teens.
Song You glanced at the companion next to him again.
"brush!"
The swordsman in gray instantly drew his sword, and with just a casual swing, he easily cut off the ropes on the bride's body. Apart from the ropes, not to mention hurting anyone, even the clothes were not scratched at all.
It wasn't until he put his sword back into its scabbard with a sneer that everyone reacted.
With just one move, a knowledgeable person would understand that, not to mention the skills of this Taoist, even the swordsman following him was by no means a simple person.
Then the swordsman in gray stretched out his hand again and removed the cloth from the bride's mouth.
"You shall not die well!"
The bride's first words are curses.
Song You didn't say anything, just sighed, stared at the bride, and said to the old man: "When I came down, I knew that a ghost marriage between living people would cause thunder and lightning from the sky. Now it seems that you are not only
It’s as simple as using a living person to match the underworld marriage.”
He paused for a moment:
"When we came here and were strangers to you, we received your warm hospitality. From the people in the village, we can also know that you are quite kind in your daily behavior. It can be seen that you are not a treacherous person, so why do you do what you do?
How could something so outrageous happen?"
"I don't want to wait, I'm really helpless."
"What's the alternative?"
"..."
The old man sighed, but avoided his gaze, murmured a few words on his lips, but said nothing, and continued: "Now that the matter has come to this, is there anything you can do to help us resolve the disaster?"
"This is a natural punishment, but it is also a man-made disaster. If it is a natural punishment, how can it be easily resolved by mortals?" Song You looked at the bride calmly, not at the old man, and continued, "From ancient times to the present, only natural punishment can be undone.
explanation, but no explanation.”
"Redeem?"
The old man was stunned for a moment.
"Exactly."
Song You still stared at the bride, wondering what was going on in his heart, but his tone was calm: "As I said before, forcing a living person to marry a dead person is already harmful to the world, but to bury a person alive is a heinous crime, not only in the presence of
Everyone in the world will be implicated. Even the dead one will not be able to live peacefully under the Nine Springs. There is no way to resolve it. However, God has the virtue of good life after all, and the gods three feet above are also happy to see mortals abandon evil and follow evil.
Be kind, repent, and make a new start. If you rein in your horses from the brink, you can avoid death. If you make amends slowly, you may be able to recover."
"this……"
"My father-in-law still refuses to tell me?"
"I won't hide anything from you, sir..."
The old man let out a long sigh and finally said: "We are indeed not treacherous and evil people. In this village, we get along well with the farmers in the village. We have never oppressed the people. Instead, we have done many good deeds to the people around us. However, we
Starting some time ago, there was a sudden restlessness in the house, and many strange things happened, until about ten days ago..."
The old man glanced at the black lacquer coffin in the lobby.
"The old man's eldest grandson, also his only grandson, suddenly fell ill and died."
"Then what?"
"After the death of the eldest grandson, the family became even more uneasy, and several people died in succession. We even occasionally saw everyone's ghosts wandering around. Fortunately, at this time, an expert in travel came to look for him..."
"But it doesn't matter."
"The master told us that it was caused by the change in the feng shui of the ancestral tombs. If this goes on for a long time, the family will soon have no children, and there will be endless troubles. Moreover, the dead people may also turn into ghosts and cause trouble." The old man sighed, "I originally had three sons.
At this time, there is only one son left, and this son has only given birth to one, and he is lying in the coffin at this moment..."
"I see."
Song You nodded, something was fishy.
"Then how to resolve it?"
"The expert managed to temporarily prevent the disaster from happening. He also found a geomantic treasure land for us. He said that he wanted to find a woman with special horoscopes and form a secret marriage with the deceased grandson of the old man. They would be buried together here and the disaster would be solved. If it were not like this, the family
Hundreds of people will probably die together."
"I really plan to bury this little lady alive." Song You shook his head, "You are so cruel."
"This is a decision made by one person and has nothing to do with the rest of the people."
"Don't fool yourself."
"This is really a helpless move..."
The old man sighed again: "But I didn't treat this little lady badly. Her parents died some time ago and have nowhere to bury them. It was the old man who arranged the funeral for them. He bought her and gave her uncle enough food for a lifetime.
I just want to make up for it somewhat."
Song You pursed his lips and said nothing.
I only feel the distortion of good and evil.
Call this old man evil. He can warmly entertain strangers and is pretty good to the people in the village. Call him good because he can bury an innocent woman alive. Call him evil because he can do so.
After making so much amends, they seemed to feel less guilty.
The part where good and evil cannot be accounted for is largely eliminated by the idea of "not treating people as human beings".
If you are rich and powerful, your life is valuable.
Ordinary people are sometimes not considered human beings.
"My father-in-law can help the young lady's parents arrange a funeral. It is a good deed, but it is only a good deed for her parents. My father-in-law can pay a lot of money to her uncle, which is just a generosity to her uncle, but it has nothing to do with this young lady.
"Relationship." Song You continued, "Whether it is for the sake of peace for the dead, for the continuation of the family, or to eliminate disasters, no matter what, it is not allowed by nature to bury people alive."
"Please give me some advice, sir!"
The old man almost knelt down.
"It's still the same sentence. Only by reining in from the brink, reforming your past, and making amends for your sins can you avert the disaster. Otherwise, even if the government can spare you, or even if Thunder God spares you, God will not spare you. Not only will you suffer disasters during your lifetime, but you will also go to hell after death.
To suffer the punishment of fire.”
"this……"
"It's still too late to stop now, since the young lady has not yet married your deceased grandson and has not been killed." Song You said, "At least you can be exempted from the death penalty during your lifetime."
"It should be like this, but if it is like this, how can we solve the recent disasters in our Ding family?"
"..."
Song You stood there, looking down at the woman.
At first, this woman's face was full of despair and resentment, and she felt that everyone present should go to hell. However, after hearing Song You talk about this, she gradually understood a little more, and her eyes changed somewhat.
At least there is a little more hope...
Song You looked at the old man again, met his turbid eyes, thought for a long time, and then said: "I have a way."
"Sir, please speak!"
"I know a magic spell that can turn plants and trees into human beings, lifelike. If you know the birth date of the little lady, this plant dummy can also replace the little lady and hold a ghost marriage with the deceased grandson of your house." Song You said while staring at it.
In the black coffin next to it, the person in the coffin has been dead for several days, but there is no ghost attached to the body. Either it has not become a ghost, or someone has taken away the soul. In any case, there must be someone practicing Xuanmen.
The man in the middle is up to something secretly, and I don’t know what he’s planning. “My father-in-law will just bury him as usual.”
"This...can it really happen?"
"Please find some vegetation."
"What are your requirements?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of vegetation it is, just twigs and weeds."
"Mr. Benyi!"
The old man immediately asked his servants to bring lanterns and look for vegetation.
I searched once, but some were missing, so I went out again, and this time it was enough. Then I saw the Taoist holding plants and trees, casually turning them into human figures, and asking for the woman's birthday and horoscope, and finally facing the woman.
The plant dummy took a breath and shed some light. Suddenly, the plant dummy actually turned into a human form. It was almost the same as a woman and was indistinguishable.
Everyone was surprised to see it.
I just feel that this is a truly masterful person.
