Chapter 52: The source of resentment(1/2)
(It is impossible to use the Silver Leader to update randomly, and the completion progress is 4/50. I am impulsive. Now I feel that this is an impossible task, so I really want to round it up.)
In the ancient villages of dozens of families, the witch and the village chief have a high status. When I was young, it was said that the witch had been to the city and learned some medical skills.
Most of the villagers were grateful to be able to return to the village. If there was a minor illness, they would ask the witch to exorcise evil spirits and treat the disease.
After drinking the witch's talisman water, the witch will prescribe some prescriptions. There are very tricks here.
Is Fu Shui important?
It is not important in treating diseases and saving people, but it can give people a heart of comfort. It seems that with this talisman, disasters, evil and diseases cannot infringe on themselves.
In fact, the most important thing is the prescription for curing diseases and saving lives, but because drinking talisman water is the first step, the villagers will think that talisman is more important than talisman.
The witch's status is getting higher and higher, and everyone believes more and more.
The village has a tradition that the witch is responsible for the Zaohu Festival that is once every fifteen years and the Zaohu Festival that is once every year.
The witch stopped Bai Wu.
Bai Wu stopped. Since another crucial role appeared, he had to find a way to dig out some information.
"How do you know? Where is the curse? Or do I write two words on my face? What's going on in the evil spirit in the lake?"
"You have a curse, you can't go back, otherwise your family will not live tomorrow noon. You are cursed and the Yintang is black. If your father hadn't been kind to you..." The witch ignored Bai Wu's problem.
"A kind word? How much did Lao Zhao give you?"
"..." The witch was suddenly blocked by Bai Wu's words.
Unlike the witch in the first act, whether it is Zhao Kuan or Zhu Jin in the first act, even the witch in the first act, they all look very scary.
In the second act, although the witch is still old, her eyes look very lively. She looks like an ordinary old woman.
Even if you look closely, you will feel close, because this old woman looks very similar to the children's grandmother in the traditional impression.
"Don't underestimate the curse. Young man, curse is plagued by it. No one can survive. It's your father who rushed to find me. I don't want to care about your affairs. Come with me if you don't want to kill your family."
"What is the curse? The lake god and the evil spirit in the lake are the same thing? When did it appear? Speaking of which, is there any custom in the village? It is an existing monster in the lake. Then everyone was afraid, so they pretended to have the lake god, or the lake god first, but suddenly a sky lake god turned into an evil spirit?"
Bai Wu deliberately said something indifferent. These words undoubtedly violated taboos.
"Shut up! How could you be so rude to the Lake God!"
The witch's expression suddenly became serious:
"I think that you are young and ignorant and have no awe, and I will not care about you. Human life is at stake. If you want to know the curse, come with me."
Bai Wu thought about it and said that since there were still four hours left, then there was nothing he could do to follow the witch to see. Maybe he could know some clues.
He now feels that the story has a second version of the story. The witch pretends to be a ghost and cheats money. The evil spirits in the lake may not be evil spirits, but there is another hidden story.
But based on the principle that things will not be concluded until the end, Bai Wu decided to follow the witch and listen to what she said.
Because Bai Wu felt that the witch's awe did not seem to be pretending.
...
...
When Wujiu woke up from the coffin, he was not under the bed, but in the cellar.
He opened the door of the cellar and came to his bedroom. Perhaps he treated the paper men well in the first act, and he played the masters of the paper men in the first act.
Memories began to emerge. After Wujiu arrived in the bedroom, he found a letter in the red pillowcase.
Of course he didn't know this ancient custom. In the past, Bai Wu was responsible for the clues hidden in the corners.
But like Bai Wu, each character's actor will have some initial memories.
In Wujiu's memory, this letter seemed very important.
In many villages, people leave their thoughts in pillowcases to talk to dead people.
It is said that in this way, you can convey what you want to say and the thoughts in your heart to another world.
When Wujiu opened the letter, his memory stopped. He only knew that the letter was written by himself.
"More than a year has passed since the lake sacrifice. My father is always worried about you. The lake god protects our village for thousands of years, and my ancestors have spent this way for generations. My father really can't bear to leave you, but last year it was our turn...
There were already some strange things in the village last year, and some people disappeared outside one after another. Some people also said that they had seen the antlers blooming. You said that the antlers were not branches, so how could it bloom?
Everyone thinks that the lake god is warning us that we all survived by the lake god's blessing. Son, you have a spirit in the sky, serve the lake god well, bless the whole village with peace and safety, bless the weather this year, and everyone has no worries about food and clothing.
I know you were ugly when you were a child, and everyone didn’t like to play with you, but Dad has laid a lot of paper people on you. If you are lonely one day, come back to see Dad. Dad has found you many friends, and they will not dislike you."
Wujiu frowned.
After waking up from the coffin, he suddenly became an old father. He has not played this role before, but the content in this letter seems a bit strange.
"Is his son dead? What is the Great Sacrifice in the Lake?"
Although he also appeared in the cellar in the first scene, after entering the bedroom, Wujiu did not see those gloomy paper men.
There are many paper people, but now it looks far less cunning than the first scene.
These paper people placed in the bedroom show the father who was persecuted by superstition and longing for his children.
Wujiu looked at these paper men and found that the workmanship was very meticulous, but the paper men's eyes were not well drawn.
In ancient times, there was actually an unwritten rule in traditional industries such as carving, painting, and paper people.
The more meticulous the workmanship a master is, the more he should put his eyes on his eyes, otherwise if the eyes are drawn with great sensation, the thing will come alive.
Wujiu didn't know this rule, but he just felt that these paper men were indeed meticulous, but their unsmart eyes made the paper men lose their lust. He felt a little regretful, so he looked over them one by one.
Finally, in the very corner of the room, Wujiu saw a paper man with extremely vivid eyes.
No matter how detailed and realistic the paper man is, it is still a huge gap with the real person, but only those eyes are really too real...
It was so true that when Wujiu stared at it, it blinked.
Wujiu was not scared by such a small scene. From the first scene to the second scene, he firmly believed that learning from the white mist and thinking from the perspective of ghosts and evil deeds can indeed make things easier.
So Wujiu walked to the paper man whose eyes could move.
Then Wujiu pushed away the paper man and saw a guy covered in black behind the paper man.
In the cellar in the first scene, there is a talisman that suppresses water ghosts. The black monster in front of me looks very much like a water ghost.
Its hair is very long, like a black waterweed that can wrap around people.
There is a monster hidden behind the paper man, which is a very scary thing.
Although Wujiu passed the level in the first act, he had no idea what the so-called evil spirits in the lake were.
But in the second act, Wujiu has the memory of some of the people who play.
This monster represents curse and death. When these memories emerge, Wujiu also felt a little fear in his heart.
More than 700 years ago, the same thing happened. The monster hiding behind the paper man almost scared the father who missed his late son to death.
Wujiu was different. He quickly suppressed his inner fear and decided to continue learning from Baiwu.
"Who are you?"
Without a response, the black-filled monster looked at Wujiu, and its expression was so ferocious that Wujiu subconsciously wanted to draw his sword.
Of course, the person he played had no knife at all.
It's a blessing that Wujiu didn't scare the monster away. Seeing that the black monster never took action, he suddenly thought of something:
"Do you like these paper men?"
The monster immediately let out a strange scream, sounding like he was chanting a spell that had no meaning.
Wujiu arranged the paper man who was pushed apart and said:
"Then why, I'll go out and have a look...you're here to continue playing with these paper people?"
The monster probably understood this sentence. The black hair behind it began to slowly retract, and then looked at Wujiu with his head tilted.
Wujiu didn't understand this meaning very much, but he felt that the monster's eyes seemed a little wet.
Bai Wu knew through the Eye of Prell that the other four people were playing a certain role, but Wujiu didn't know.
But Wujiu knew that since the village outside had so many human atmospheres, he might be able to ask for some clues.
He thought so, then walked to the door and said:
"Then I'm leaving, you can play with these paper people slowly."
You must be meticulous, be serious, not perfunctory, and learn the essence of Bai Wu. After thinking about this, Wu Jiu turned around and walked back after he left:
"I can do these paper people. Although they can't stand the tossing, if you break and wrinkle, don't be afraid. I'll make a few new ones for you."
After Wujiu finished speaking, he really left the room.
The black monster was left behind, looking at Wujiu's departure in confusion.
The monster seemed to have not expected that Wujiu's reaction was like this. After about a few seconds of silence, it climbed upside down like a gecko, climbed upside down along the wall and left through the skylight.
As the black monster left... the streets that were already a little noisy outside became quiet.
Wujiu looked at it and showed a puzzled expression.
To be continued...
