Chapter 18 The ghost fire of Yinshan is urging life
But at this time, the centipede is not called down the mountain.............
Until one year during the Republic of China, there was a villager in the village, when he passed by the mass grave in the evening, suddenly a faint ghost fire floated out of the cemetery and chased him straight after. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The villagers were frightened, screaming and running towards the center of the mass grave, but after running for a while, they turned around and took a look, and found that the ghost fire that was tracking him all the way behind them suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The villagers thought they could breathe a sigh of relief.
But before he could kick his breath, he suddenly noticed that there were sounds coming from the shadowy wild grass around him.
Is there a snake? Rural people are not afraid of snakes, and if there are snakes, they can be killed and brought back to make snacks.
But after the villagers listened carefully for a while, the hairs on their bodies suddenly stood up.
Because the sound of the rattle came from all sides, in other words, it was not a snake at all, but a group of snakes!!
In a place like Xiangxi, which is full of obstacles, the appearance of snakes is not a big deal, not to mention that the local Miao people are good at driving snakes, and it is not uncommon for Xiangxi people to grow up under the influence of this culture.
But the location at this time was a mass grave, and it was in the evening! The eerie and secluded atmosphere somewhat added a bit of extra fear to this time.
Driven by curiosity, the villager slowly walked to the nearest wild grass in the afterglow of the setting sun, and stretched out his rough and thick palms to remove the wild grass in fear.
Yes....... After setting it aside, the scene in front of him immediately frightened the villagers and staggered to the ground.
Behind the barren grass, there was not a group of snakes, but a group of fiery red centipedes!
The big ones are the size of a thumb, and the small ones are as small as wires, and they are cruising happily in the grass at this time.
The grass where the centipedes were hiding was suddenly removed, and the afterglow of the setting sun instantly sprinkled in, perhaps stimulated by the sun, or they may have noticed the invasion of foreign objects, in short, all the centipedes began to swarm out.
At the same time, centipedes in the surrounding grass also crawled out from all directions like a floodgate, surrounding the villagers who had fallen to the ground.
Seeing this, the villagers who fell to the ground in fright hurriedly got up and stepped on the centipedes all over the ground and fled to the village, and the crunching sound of those centipedes being trampled off was like a symphony of death, which was particularly beautiful in this strange and quiet night.
The villagers shouted "There are so many centipedes, so many centipedes......
After running for a while, he timidly turned around and saw that the mass grave was already black and oppressive, full of centipedes roaming around the graveyard.
He didn't have the leisure to explore why this was happening, but he fled home with his legs weakened in fright.
When I got home, I quickly closed the door tightly, and then I sat down in the room shaking all over.
When his wife saw that he looked flustered and embarrassed, she asked him what had happened, but he just kept saying "centipedes, there are so many centipedes.........
The villager's wife saw that he kept talking about centipedes, and his whole body was covered with dust and mud, and his trouser legs were broken in several places, so she asked him with concern, "Have you met a centipede?" Are there any injuries? As he spoke, he went to lift the villager's tattered pants to check his body.
Who knew that when he opened his pants, he saw that there were three wounds on the left calf, and the swollen boss was bitten by something at a glance.
Fortunately, the villager's wife is also a courageous person, although she is just an ordinary village woman and has never read a book, but she is very sensible and assertive.
After seeing that his man was bitten, he decisively took out the Miao knife, slowly cut the wound, squeezed out a large amount of poisonous blood, and then smeared snake medicine to remove the poison.
After everything was done, the villagers were still inarticulate and shouting, "There are so many centipedes, so many centipedes, it's scary.......
Seeing that this was not the solution, the village woman had to hurriedly go to the village and invite Elder Zhu You, the village chief and others to come over to help and see what the situation was.
Soon, the village chief and others rushed over and examined the condition of his wounds, and concluded that he must have been bitten by a centipede.
Seeing that he was unconscious, Elder Zhu You thought that he was so frightened that he hurt his soul, and he probably couldn't ask why at this time.
So he recited a spell to him, and boiled a talisman water for him to drink, after drinking, the villagers were indeed a lot more sober, thinking that the spell had a certain effect.
Elder Zhu You saw that he was sober and too busy, and hurriedly asked him what he had encountered.
The villagers were silent for a while, and only after a while did they say that he was on the side of the mass grave, and saw that the black pressure was full of centipedes, and he was bitten a few times, but fortunately he ran fast and escaped.
The village chief and others were horrified when they heard this, and hurriedly took the more daring villagers to the mass grave to inspect, but unfortunately, at this time, the centipede had receded like a tide and disappeared without a trace.
Gently it came, just as it walked gently, it gently bit the villagers, and did not take away a single cloud.
Naturally, the village chief pounced on the air and saw no trace at all.
However, some attentive villagers still found some centipede stumps and corpses on the side of the unkempt grass and graveyards, which were supposed to be the result of their biting each other.
And the villager who was bitten, because his wife bled him in time, finally picked up a life, but because he was bitten by three centipedes, and did not prescribe the right medicine, in the end the injured leg was not saved, and he became a lame man from then on.
Since then, every time he goes out and meets passers-by, he can't help but say, "That place, the fiery red centipede has come down the mountain, there are so many, many more."
Everyone has long been surprised by what he said, and over time, the mass grave was given a name, called "Centipede Descending the Mountain."
However, with the change and advancement of time, several sensational strange things happened there one after another when the centipede descended the mountain.
Later, in order to put an end to these strange things, the village invited the most powerful Zhu Youshi at that time to see the feng shui, and finally moved the mound to the ground and planted peach trees.
According to Master Zhu You, there is a reason for planting peach trees, because peach trees, also known as dragon trees, are a kind of sunshine trees, which can play a role in suppressing ghosts and driving away evil spirits.
Sure enough, since then, the strange occurrence of centipedes coming down the mountain has gradually decreased, until people have begun to forget that it was once a cemetery.
The words are divided into two ends, each with a branch, and after talking about the origin of the centipede coming down the mountain, then let's continue to talk about the tragic encounter of the old golden head in the centipede going down the mountain.
