After the eminent monk sealed the evil ghost of Merlin, the town finally recovered, but no one dared to talk about Merlin again, which became the biggest taboo in this town.
With the changes of the times, the old generation passed away one after another, while the new generation didn't know much about Merlin!
Originally, Merlin's ghost affair should have ended here, but an incident that happened eight years ago made those old people in the town who knew about Merlin mentioned in their throats again.
It was a spring eight years ago, when the apricot blossoms were blooming, Fang Guosheng had the dream that he had many years ago, and Merlin came back to him again bloody...
The next day, Fang Guosheng woke up and wanted to find some other comrades who were still alive to ask about the situation.
Of the thirteen people left who had experienced the incident of their vice-captain Ling Peng at that time, only six were still alive, and each of these six people was an old man in his 70s.
After a few old people met, Fang Guosheng talked about what happened last night. The other five old people also quickly said that they had the same dream. Now the six people are a little panicked. The tragedy of the spirit shed decades ago. It's still the worst nightmare they've had over the years.
The last few old people agreed to find another master to do the trick to see if that Merlin really came back. If it is true, it should be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the tragedy of decades ago will probably happen again. occur.
So a few people began to ask someone to find a "master" who could catch ghosts, but on the second day after the meeting of the old people, Fang Guosheng felt uneasy, so he wanted to find some old friends to see the situation, but he went Everyone's home, no one was found.
Finally, someone in the village found the five old people on the Xinghua Ridge in the town. All the five old people had been hanged on the big apricot tree. At that time, many people in the town heard the news and went to watch.
Speaking of this, Li Jiahao asked Fang Guosheng: "Are those five people killed by Merlin, but why did the way of killing become so gentle, and why are you okay?"
Li Jiahao casually said the word "gentle" without thinking about what words to use for a while. Indeed, compared with the tearing of flesh, nose cutting, and eye gouging decades ago, the method of death by hanging is already gentle and can no longer be gentle. .
In addition, why Fang Guosheng was able to escape this disaster, I am also very curious.
Hearing Li Jiahao's words, Fang Guosheng said with a low face: "I can escape these disasters because of one thing!"
As he spoke, Li Jiahao took out a black wooden sign from his bosom. The wooden sign was shiny and shiny. It was also engraved with the talisman of exorcism, and there was a small letter beside the talisman, although it was written crookedly. Slanted, but I still recognized it - "Heavenly Master Chen Kunxi left a talisman" - I was surprised when I saw these words.
Seeing that I saw something unusual on the wooden sign, Yang Xiaohui asked me, "Shi Yong, what's wrong, what is this thing? Can it prevent ghosts?"
Anti ghost? This thing can not only prevent ghosts, it is more than enough to fight ghosts.
I took a deep breath and said, "This is the Tianshi Talisman, but it's not a talisman, it's a waist card with the Heavenly Master's magical power. You can, and its level is equivalent to a magic weapon, but because the Tianshi Talisman can generally only have one type of talisman, its function is relatively simple. Of course, ghosts are also among the filth."
Yang Xiaohui may not understand what I said, so she nodded and said, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, it sounds very powerful."
I didn't bother to explain to Yang Xiaohui any longer, so I asked Fang Guosheng, "Where did you get this Heavenly Master Talisman from?"
Fang Guosheng said: "It was given to me by a young man who came to our town in 1976 to cut the queue. He said that it was drawn by his senior brother. His senior brother said that he might encounter danger when he came to the town to cut the queue, so I drew this sign for him, and when he finished cutting the line with us, when the young man left safely, he gave me this sign. The key is that we have a good relationship. He just passed away a few years ago, and I still watch it. past him."
A young man's senior should not be too old, but it is not necessarily. For example, my senior brother Zuo Qingmu, he looks more than ten years older than me.
Chen Kunxi, if he is still alive as a Celestial Master, then Master Liu and Uncle Sima will definitely know each other, and I will ask them if I have a chance.
Fang Guosheng asked me if he didn't answer for a long time, and asked me, "Why is there a problem?"
I shook my head and said, "No, you continue to talk about your business. Did you invite the master to do it later?"
Fang Guosheng said: "After my five old comrades died, I was very scared. Although I often dreamed of Merlin, nothing happened to me. I know that it was all due to the black wooden sign on my body. I remember several times in the middle of the night I felt something approaching me, but after a sudden 'boom', the thing disappeared, and the wooden sign I was carrying would suddenly become very hot, as if it had been baked with fire ."
"Because my five comrades-in-arms were hanged, no one will pursue this matter, and there was no other strange thing that year, so this matter has passed, and I am alone. I didn't go to the master to do it."
"But when the peach blossoms bloomed in the second year, something happened to Xinghualing again. It was an old man with a hoe who went to work in the field. When he happened to be near Xinghualing, he tripped over a stone, and then the hoe flew up and split. It got in my head and I died."
"Every year when the apricot flowers bloom, some of the old people in our town will die, but not necessarily near Xinghualing, and all those people are people who have watched Merlin get scratched, without exception."
When I heard this, I asked Fang Guosheng, "Don't you think it's strange that people die here every year? Why don't you ask someone to take a look?"
Fang Guosheng said: "We invited, but the master spent a lot of money to do a very pompous French style, but it turned out to be useless. , and the people who have the accident are getting younger and younger, only in their fifties, although they have not been directly involved in Merlin's affairs, but their parents are at the scene, so they can't escape Merlin's revenge."
When I heard this, I said: "It seems that this Merlin is crazy."
Fang Guosheng nodded and said nothing for a long time. Obviously, the story is almost gone here.
However, I still had a few questions in my heart, so I started to ask Fang Guosheng, hoping that he could add something. My first question was to ask him, "Has that Merlin appeared at other times besides the apricot blossoms?"
Fang Guosheng thought about it and said, "I don't know about this. There are a lot of people in our town. Even if the apricot flowers are not in bloom, some people will die, but I'm not sure if it has something to do with Merlin, but every year the apricot flowers will die. When it opens, people will definitely die in the town!"
I continued to ask Fang Guosheng: "When you were telling me about Merlin just now, you never mentioned Merlin's family. I want to know about his family. How did you deal with them?"
I always feel that Fang Guosheng has been deliberately avoiding this question when he talks about Merlin, without mentioning anything about any of Merlin's other family members.
When I asked this question, Fang Guosheng was suddenly stunned, and after a long time Fang Guosheng said two words lightly: "Kill it!"
Hearing this, I couldn't help feeling a chill. This was the last thing I wanted to hear. Sure enough, when they dealt with Merlin back then, they were still too brutal.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaohui asked, "You killed Merlin's family and no one cares about you?"
Fang Guosheng said, "The era was so chaotic, who was in charge? Besides, we all came here according to the rules of the village, and that family were all traitors!"
I continued to ask, "What about the bodies of the Merlin family?"
Fang Guosheng said: "In Xinghualing, a fire burned, and there were thirteen people, young and old."
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneered. As for why I laughed, I couldn't understand it myself, and then I said, "I finally figured out why that eminent monk only sealed Merlin, he didn't sympathize with Merlin, but sympathy for Merlin's family."
Fang Guosheng added: "Their family are all traitors, they all deserve to die, what's there to sympathize with?"
I thought about it and said, "Have you never heard such a sentence? Who will go to hell if I don't go to hell? In the Buddha's world, all sins can be forgiven, as long as people are willing to repent, even if the Buddha uses his own His life will also give him a chance to repent, which is also what Buddhists often say about great compassion and great compassion.
Li Jiahao asked me, "Could it be that Buddha would sympathize with a traitor?"
I smiled and said, "I don't know about this either. Perhaps when the Buddha reaches a certain level, the concept of the so-called 'nation' ceases to exist. From his point of view, we are all from the same world."
Although I can say these words, I myself can never reach that realm.
I have almost figured out what to do now. Next, I will go to Xinghualing and call out that Merlin. Of course, I am not going to send him away, but I still want to break him up. In addition, just because I am a Dao and not a Buddha, there is no blind forgiveness in the world of Dao. If I am wrong, I still have to kill. This kind of killing is not "evil", but "good"!
As for whether what Fang Guosheng and the others are doing is right or wrong, I will ignore it because the way of heaven is watching.
We have already understood everything we should know, so the four of us are going to leave here first. When we are leaving, Fang Guosheng stops us and asks, "Do you think my cousin's death has something to do with Merlin?"
Li Jiahao, Yang Xiaohui and Zheng Lina didn't speak, but looked at me together, and I said, "Does it matter? I'll have an answer when I see Merlin again."
Fang Guosheng's story is over, and it's time for me to deal with Merlin.
