History’s Best Reincarnation: Episode 176: Water Spray
Laiyang County is quite a distance from Qinghua County. It would take two days for masters like Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia to get there on fast horses. Horse-drawn carriages and horses also slowed down the journey. In one day, not to mention half of the road, not even one-fifth of the road.
At night, because it was in the wilderness, there was no way to go to the village or shop, so everyone had to camp in a small forest next to the official road and light a bonfire.
Although everyone was carrying dry food, Jiang Chen personally went to hunt some wild animals and came back. Uncle Song Yu's servants and maidservants cleaned and roasted them, and everyone had a good meal.
After eating and drinking, Jiang Chen simply asked Uncle Song Yu about Song Yuniang's life and death because he had nothing to do. After listening to Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia, he said, "Actually, everything starts from a year ago."
A year ago, Uncle Song Yu was admitted as a Jinshi, passed the examination by the imperial court, and was sent to Laiyang County as a magistrate. Because he was far away from his hometown, he moved his family with his wife, children and sisters from Qinghua County to Laiyang County. settle down. Due to its geographical advantages, Laiyang County is much more prosperous than Qinghua County. The county government compound has several courtyards, enough for his family to live in, and there is no need for him to buy a new house.
Being an official, especially a local official, naturally assumes the responsibility to govern one side. Most people who are keen on officialdom have ideals and aspirations, especially young people like Uncle Song Yu who have just entered the officialdom. When his blood boiled, since he was the magistrate of Laiyang County, he naturally wanted to work hard and be a good official. To be a good official, one must be diligent in government affairs, so naturally he is busy. As a result, Uncle Song Yu inevitably neglected his family.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and I don't know who first spread it, let alone when it started to spread. It is said that the back garden of the county government compound is haunted. It is said that as long as it is late at night, there will be ghosts in the garden. A red light appeared, and a blurry figure appeared in the red light. The figure seemed to be an old woman, with a short body and a hunched back. Her snow-white hair was like a broom, and she was wearing a two-foot-long bun. Walking around the garden; bowing, bowing, like a crane walking, while walking, water is constantly spraying from the mouth, it is red blood, one after another, no matter how long you walk, go No matter how far away, it can't finish spraying.
As a scholar, Uncle Song Yu naturally scoffed at this and didn't believe it at all, so he immediately ordered his wife, children, sister Song Yuniang, and many servants and maids to say: "Nowadays is an eventful autumn, no more rumors, since there is something wrong in the garden, nightfall After that, you are not allowed to walk around in the garden again."
Because he is the head of the family, and he has been an official for more than half a year. Although the county magistrate is only a seventh-rank official, he has accumulated some official authority. Dare not to follow. In this way, in the blink of an eye, more than half a year passed. Although the rumor that the back garden is haunted has not disappeared, there is no problem, and Uncle Song Yu gradually forgets about it.
It's just that, when he ignored it, he ignored something that he regretted all his life. More than half a month ago, his younger sister Song Yuniang died suddenly in the back garden.
Except for a little trace of red water, there were no clues left at the scene. An autopsy revealed that there were no wounds on the body. Uncle Song Yu wanted to investigate the truth about the death of his younger sister Song Yuniang, but before he could gain anything, Song Yuniang's body unexpectedly changed strangely.
"Hero Yan, Daoist Zhiqiu, you don't know at all. I saw the tragedy that night, and I was almost scared to death on the spot." Although half a month had passed, Uncle Song Yu Recalling what happened that night, I still couldn't help trembling all over, and my eyes were full of fear.
It was the night of the third day after Song Yuniang's death. Song Yuniang's corpse suddenly opened her eyes. into the night.
When Uncle Song Yu rushed over after hearing the news, he saw that several servants and maidservants in the mourning hall had died tragically on the spot, and the corpses seemed to have been stripped of all flesh and blood, turned into mummy corpses, which would shatter when touched.
"What the **** is going on here..." While horrified, Uncle Song Yu also knew that something serious happened, and immediately sent all the officials in the yamen to find the whereabouts of his sister Song Yuniang's body. After searching all night, Song Yuniang's body was not found.
Tired from running around all night, Uncle Song Yu led a kind of official servant back to the county government office. Qi rushed into the county government office and reported that a murder had occurred.
A total of more than a dozen people, all young and strong men, died strangely last night, and the corpses turned into mummies. This made the people wonder whether there was a monster in the county. Such a terrible disaster has appeared
The people were afraid, and Uncle Song Yu couldn't help being shocked. The death of those young and strong men reminded him of the servants and maidservants who died in his mourning hall. The death of the deceased, he still doesn't understand what's going on
His sister may have changed
The theory of corpse transformation has existed since ancient times, and it has been widely circulated among the people. Almost everyone has heard of it, and Uncle Song Yu is no exception. He doesn't know what happened to his sister Song Yuniang's body, but he also knows, This matter has become a big deal, so he quickly invited a Laoshan Taoist priest to come and perform the ritual.
This Laoshan Taoist priest is also capable. After he came to the county government, he opened an altar in Song Yuniang's mourning hall that night. Not long after, everyone saw Song Yuniang's body like a zombie ghost. Walking back outside, the sharp nails, sharp fangs, and blood all over her body all showed her horror
Immediately afterwards, the Laoshan Taoist priest fought fiercely with Song Yuniang's body. Unfortunately, although the Taoist priest had some magic power, he could not do enough. To die, just leave a warning before dying, never remove the blood talisman from Song Yuniang's body, it is best to burn Song Yuniang's body with peach or lychee wood during the day.
Hearing this, Yan Chixia couldn't help but snorted coldly: "The warning left by the Taoist priest is correct, but you didn't follow it."
"Yes." Uncle Song Yu replied with a face full of shame: "I thought at the time, since there was already a blood talisman to suppress it, why destroy my sister's body, so I didn't follow the Taoist priest's instructions, but asked Shangfeng for her period. Take someone to send my younger sister's body back to the ancestral grave in my hometown for burial."
"Ignorant, fearless, self-righteous, you so-called scholars are really annoying." Yan Chixia couldn't help cursing: "Although the blood talisman was drawn by a Taoist priest using his own blood to stimulate mana, it is very powerful, but After all, I can only hold the corpse for a while, if the night before yesterday, if my little brother Zhiqiu and I were not there, everyone in that inn, including you~IndoMTL.com~ I’m afraid none of them would survive.”
"Ah..." Hearing this, Uncle Song Yu couldn't help being startled, his face turned pale, obviously remembering the tragic situation of those people who were killed by the female corpse Song Yuniang.
"The matter of your sister Song Yuniang has come to an end, don't worry about it for now, everything needs to go back to the original question, that is how did your sister die and why did she turn into a dead body?" Jiang Chen pondered for a while, Finally he interjected and asked: "Lord Song, can you tell me in detail about the haunting in the back garden of the county government office?"
"This..." Uncle Song Yu pondered for a while, and after a while, he frowned and replied: "I have investigated this matter before, and I have repeatedly asked the servants and maids at home, They all said that at night, they saw a red light appearing in the garden, and in the red light was an old woman who kept spraying water..."
"The red light old woman sprays water" Jiang Chen and Yan Chixia looked at each other when they heard the words, they both saw the doubt in each other's eyes, but how could they find out the reason behind the empty talk, he frowned and thought After a while, he could only say in a deep voice: "Forget it, forget it, tomorrow morning, we will hurry up and feel that the Laiyang County Government may have to find out the whole story from the back garden... ...."Tips: Log in from your computer to your mobile phone
