At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in Zhaoyuan County, located on the Jiaodong Peninsula, there was a man named Wang Er who sold wontons. Wang Er, who had good skills passed down from his ancestors, opened a wonton shop at the west corner of the city, and the business was very prosperous. Every day from
The red sun rises in the east and reaches the top of the willow trees above the moon, and there is an endless stream of people coming to Guangqing. Wang Er earns half a bag of copper coins every day.
One year, a strange thing happened suddenly.
One day, when Wang Er was counting the money under the oil lamp after closing the stall, he found a few pieces of paper money in the pile of money. Wang Er thought that someone was playing tricks on him, so he threw a few paper money and didn't take it seriously. Who knows?
The next night when I was counting the money, I found a few more pieces of paper money.
Wang Er frowned and carefully thought about the day's transactions, but he didn't receive any paper money. What's going on? Could someone be playing tricks to fool me?
On the third day, he was more thoughtful and put a basin of water on the chopping board next to him. He threw all the money he received into the basin. If it was paper money, it would naturally float on the water. However, he arranged
After a whole day of buying and selling, the money collected was all filled up in the basin, but not a single piece of paper money was found.
The sun was setting, and Wang Er was about to close up his stall. At this time, a young woman, about twenty-seven or seventy-eight years old, came from the West Street. She was wearing a blue cloth dress, with long hair, and her eyes were stupid and she looked completely innocent.
angry.
The young woman walked up to Wang Er, took out a broken gourd, asked Wang Er to serve her a bowl of wontons, and casually put a few copper coins on Wang Er's board. Wang Er saw that the back of her clothes was covered with dust, and
Thinking she was a beggar, he took pity on her, so he filled her with a ladle full of wontons. After the woman turned around, he picked up the copper coins on the chopping board and threw them into the basin: strangely, the coins were floating in the water.
On the water surface, when I looked carefully, it turned out to be paper money.
Wang Er hurriedly turned around to look for the woman, but she disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In order to prevent being deceived again, Wang Er kept the basin next to him every day. But since that day, the woman never came again, and paper money was found at other food stalls. Wang Er thought: It must be that woman who did it.
So I told everyone how to put the water basin. So, all the restaurants put the water basin when collecting money. Sure enough, paper money was never seen again.
A few days later, one evening, the sun had just set. After selling wontons, Wang Er was about to close the shop when he suddenly saw the woman walking over from the west gate with disheveled hair. As she walked, she shouted: "My child is starving to death! I am starving to death."
The child!"
Wang Er thought, is he really a beggar?
Wang Eryi was always kind-hearted. In order to find out what happened, he decided to investigate quietly. He took a snow-mang needle and burned it on the lamp holder.
Bai Xian, before the woman came closer, he waved to her, "Sister-in-law, do you want to buy wontons? They're hot right now."
The woman was slightly startled, and Wang Er filled her with a full ladle of wontons. When the woman turned to leave, he gently hung the needle on the woman's back lapel, and after the woman left, there was a trace of wontons on the ground.
There was a long white section.
Wang Er hurriedly packed up his restaurant and followed the white line straight out of the west gate of the city. Outside the west gate was a cemetery, which was extremely desolate. The white line continued into the slope and disappeared in front of a newly built earth tomb.
Is this woman a hungry ghost?
Yes, only ghosts use paper money!
When Wang Er thought of this, his scalp suddenly felt numb. Just as he was about to walk away, he suddenly heard the meaning of the grave.
There was movement, so he gritted his teeth and listened carefully for a while. It sounded like the sound of a child sucking milk. He was frightened and surprised, so he hurried back and reported the matter to the government. The county magistrate did not believe it, but still sent two government officials the next day.
, together with Wang Er, we came to dig the grave and examine it.
The three people came to the earthen tomb and listened carefully. Sure enough, there was a sound. The two government officials were a little timid, but they could not disobey their orders. They took the courage to open the tomb. When they took a look, they saw in the center of the tomb.
There is a red coffin, the lid of which has been opened. Inside the red coffin lies a female corpse. The whole body has rotted, only two nipples are still full and red. Next to the female corpse, a boy who is not yet a month old is lying on the chest of the female corpse. "
"Tsk tsk" sucking milk.
When the news spread, people flocked to watch, saying that this was a "ghost child". It was a child that was conceived by a woman during her lifetime and was born after her death. The tomb has been opened, and if nothing can be done, the child will starve to death. The county magistrate
Ask the people watching: "Who wants to adopt this child?"
Because he was a ghost child, everyone remained silent.
After pausing for a while, Wang Er's eyes lit up and he said, "Let me find a master for the child!" After that, he ran towards the city like flying. After a while, he brought an old woman in her fifties.
This woman's surname is Wang, but she has no name, so people call her Wang. She worked as a prostitute when she was young, but because of her bad reputation, she never married. She lives across the street from Wang Er, and she has always gotten along well with Wang Er.
The old woman came to the tomb and without saying anything, she went down and took the child out. When she saw the child crying, she was not afraid of people laughing at her, so she hurriedly untied her clothes and stuffed the withered nipple into the child's mouth.
.
From then on, the child became the old woman's darling. If there was delicious food, the child would eat it first; if there were good clothes, the child would be given the opportunity to wear. When the child grew to seven years old, the old woman sold two wing rooms and scraped together the money to buy the child.
The child was sent to school and given the official name Wang Kui. Wang Kui was very smart since he was a child, and he was good at academics. The old woman loved him like the apple of his eye. He ate chaffy vegetables all year round and saved white flour for his son.
Wear patched clothes and save money to make new clothes for my son.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, the ghost boy Wang Kui grew up into a handsome young man, full of poems and poems. When he was twenty-five years old, he was going to Beijing to take the exam. When he was leaving, his mother held her son's hand and held on for a long time.
The child Wang Kui understood his mother's intentions and was determined to ascend the imperial list and honor his ancestors. Sure enough, he won the first prize in the first examination after entering Beijing and was sent to Henan by the emperor to become the prefect.
When the news reached Zhaoyuan, people secretly admired it and said that there was a "ghost champion" in Zhaoyuan. The ghost champion Wang Kui went to Henan to take up a post. Two years later, he returned to his hometown to commemorate the graves of his ancestors. By this time, the old prostitute's mother had passed away, and the ghost champion
After the No. 1 scholar returned to his hometown and heard the news, he was not sad at all. He only went to his biological mother's grave to worship three times, and then ordered people to renovate the grave of his biological mother.
At this time, Wang Er, the wonton seller, was already over 70 years old. He found the ghost champion with a cane and said: "Son, you also have to round the grave of your adoptive mother. She misses you and wants to die!"
However, he never expected that Gui Zhuangyuan would change his mind at this time and would not admit that he had a mother who had been a prostitute. After repairing the grave of his biological mother, Wang Kui returned to Henan with his troops. Wang Er was a wealthy man.
A conscientious person will be so angry when he sees the No. 1 scholar being so heartless that he will curse him and say that he is ungrateful and will not die a good death.
On his way back to Henan, the ghost champion Wang Kui suddenly encountered a heavy rain, lightning and thunder, and the heartless ghost champion took refuge.
Failure, he was struck by lightning and died in the wilderness.
He was only twenty-seven years old when he died.
"Senior, be careful. This evil evil of the mother-in-law is extremely powerful. You can guard against the big ones, but not the small ones. Senior's Emei thorns are made of pure iron. One thing can defeat the evil evil of the mother-in-law. Don't be caught.
Its nails and teeth bite it, otherwise the corpse poison will be difficult to detoxify!"
The Iron King of Duthorn had an indifferent look on his face. He turned the Emei thorn in his hand and held it upside down. After the mother-in-law screamed fiercely, she screamed "Wow!" and then laughed fiercely. She seemed not to be afraid at all, but she didn't dare to step forward.
.
The Iron King of Duthorn snorted lightly, stepped on the top of one of the coffins, suddenly exerted his strength, and threw the Emei thorn in his hand hard, but he suddenly stepped back.
The Emei pierced the air and flew away, rubbing against the air, like the "scratching" sound of scissors cutting through cloth, and it also caused the sound of breaking through the air, "whooshing" towards the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law was indeed fierce.
Afraid that the Emei thorn was not shallow, he screamed sharply and jumped onto a sutra pillar on the opposite side like a gorilla breaking a branch. The Emei thorn flew into the air and fell into the hands of the Iron King of Single Thorn again.
When mountain people go into the mountains, they never forget to bring a steel knife. Firstly, it is convenient to use, and secondly, it can exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits.
This has to start with Zhong Kui's fight against ghosts.
According to legend, Zhong Kui always carries a small iron ruler weighing three to two ounces with him when he goes out. Whenever he encounters a ghost, he will take out the iron ruler and beat him severely. Don’t underestimate this iron ruler. It is the weapon Zhong Kui obtained from the Jade Emperor.
The "soul-suppressing iron" stolen there took nine years and nine months to refine. In Zhong Kui's hand, it was just a small ruler weighing three or two, which could be used to hit ghosts.
, but weighs a thousand kilograms!
Almost all the ghosts in the underworld have been beaten by Zhong Kui's small iron ruler. Over time, the ghosts will flee for their lives as soon as they see something made of iron - they have suffered all the pain from Zhong Kui's iron ruler and are afraid of being beaten by iron again!
Mountain people have grasped this weakness of ghosts and always carry a knife with them when working in the mountains. In this way, ghosts will not dare to haunt them and cause trouble.
It is also for this reason that ghosts are afraid of pig iron.
The Iron King's Emei thorn is made of black iron, which is a higher skill than pig iron. Not only has it been stained with the blood of the same kind that the evil spirits are afraid of for a long time, but more importantly, the material itself is what they are afraid of.
of.
At this time, the corpse lay motionless on the mother's body, but stared at the group with blood-red eyes. The female corpse wanted to come up and tear everyone apart alive, but she was afraid of the Emei thorn and did not dare to do it for a moment.
At that moment, when the female corpse was moving, the corpse was like a cowardly jackal. The female corpse was fighting with its opponent and could accurately jump on the person's neck to give him a bite. It was extremely powerful, but in fact it was just a strong force from the outside.
Because this corpse fetus was conceived by a woman and has been separated from the mother's body for too long, or is too far away from the mother's body. Once it comes into contact with anything that can restrain ghosts, it will immediately turn into a pool of pus and blood and die. This is because it is not
It was born as a ghost, but the pregnancy process was terminated because of the corpse transformation of the pregnant woman, and she was forced to turn into a corpse. Therefore, she was neither a person in life nor a ghost after death. For such a corpse fetus, the six paths of reincarnation cannot
It cannot be reincarnated and can only wander in the world. More importantly, because it looks both strong and fragile, if it really gets into a fight, it may not be able to survive a round, and it will have to fight with the female corpse.
, otherwise they will be easily killed, which is why they never separate easily, but act together.
