Record of Yin and Yang

Hao Zhenwen was originally a scholar. After failing the exam, he came back and brought back a woman. This woman is Xiu Niang.After they returned to the village, the Hao family held a wedding, and Xiu Niang married Hao Zhenwen.

Xiu Niang is not a nearby villager.She is fair and beautiful, gentle and quiet, without the vulgarity of a village woman.The villagers living here have never seen a woman more beautiful than Xiu Niang.Men envy Hao Zhenwen, women envy Xiu Niang.For a long time, every move of Hao Zhenwen and Xiuniang was watched by the villagers.

Suddenly, one day, there was a rumor in the village that Xiu Niang was a brothel girl who came back with Hao Zhenwen after she redeemed her life.The villagers who had only dared to pay attention to them secretly began to laugh unscrupulously.

Xiuniang gradually stopped going out, and Hao Zhenwen seldom appeared in front of the villagers.

One day, there was a sudden commotion in the village.

Xiu Niang stole someone.

She was disheveled and dragged out of the house by her mother-in-law by her hair.The onlookers scolded Xiuniang for being disobedient, lascivious and vulgar.They were booing, or watching with cold eyes as she was bound and gagged by several men and women, headed by the village chief, and stuffed into a pig cage containing piglets.

The middle-aged man said that he was 12 years old at the time. When his father was ill, Xiuniang lent them money to treat them. They were so helpless to the intensified beating and cursing of Xiuniang that they could only watch helplessly as Xiuniang was sunk into the river in front of the village.

The middle-aged man's face was full of guilt, but he was angry at the end: "The day after she sank into the water, Hao Zhenwen came back. He rushed to the river and cried bitterly, clamoring to avenge Xiuniang, but in the end what happened?" Didn’t do anything, Xiuniang is not that kind of person at all, he still believed in other people’s words, married the current Hao Qiushi not long after, and gave birth to a son.”

Gu Jiu and the others listened, but their hearts moved.

Fang Beiming asked, "How long has Xiu Niang been dead?"

The old man said: "Today, it has been 20 years."

Gu Jiu couldn't help clasping his hands excitedly: "Pig cage" and "20 years", except that the names don't match, these two points are too coincidental.

Shao Yi suddenly thought of something, turned around and pointed to the surrounding river bank, "Is there ever a big weeping willow near here?"

The old man looked at him in surprise, and said, "There was a tree, right next to the place where Xiuniang fell into the water. Not long after Xiuniang died, ghosts began to haunt the river, and there were always women crying bitterly at night. People in the village Afraid, he collected money and invited a Taoist back. At that time, the Taoist said that the willow tree was Yin and provided a shelter for Xiuniang's ghost, which caused everyone to have no peace. The villagers cut down the weeping willow according to the Taoist's advice. The roots were dug up and burned, and the tree pit was filled up."

Gu Jiu couldn't help but slapped his head. They worked hard to find the big weeping willow, but forgot to consider the possibility of the weeping willow being cut down in 20 years.Besides, that Taoist is not a fake Taoist. Gu Jiu heard from Shao Yi that the willow tree belongs to Yin, but the cathode produces Yang, so the willow also restrains the Yin, and it is used to fight ghosts. After beating ghosts, it will be three inches shorter.

Fang Beiming asked the last question: "Does Xiuniang call Hao Zhenwen 'Sanlang'?"

The old man was surprised again: "Yes, Hao Zhenwen is the third child in the family. After Xiuniang passed away, he didn't want others to call him Sanlang anymore. How did you know that?"

Fang Beiming didn't answer this question, he bowed his hands to thank the old man, turned around and walked towards Hao's house with Gu Jiu and Shao Yi.

When approaching Hao's house, they met the younger brother who had been playing nearby.The younger brother ran towards them with two little paper figurines on his back. The little paper figurines stood on the younger brother's back, buried half of their body in the younger brother's fur, and babbled at Fang Beiming.

Suddenly, there was a shrill scream from inside Hao's house ahead. At the same time, the sky suddenly became foggy, covering the moonlight, and the whole village was plunged into darkness. Gu Jiu and the others couldn't tell the direction of Hao's house.

Fang Beiming opened the way with the talisman fire and broke the surrounding confusion. Hao's house with dim yellow lights appeared in the sight of the three of them again. Fang Beiming walked ahead and asked Shao Yi to lead Gu Jiu to follow.

Gu Jiu was afraid, and grabbed Shao Yi's clothes, the door of Hao's house was locked inside, Shao Yi climbed over the wall to enter, and then opened the door to let Gu Jiu in.

Counting the servants of the Hao family, there were nearly 20 people. At this time, there was no one in the front yard of Hao's house, and there were crying sounds in the inner courtyard.When Gu Jiu and Shao Yi ran to the backyard, they heard Fang Beiming yell, "Stop!"

They arrived at the inner courtyard a few steps behind Fang Beiming, and saw that the Hao family members were all unconscious, lying in disorder in the courtyard. In front of her, he inserted his entire hand into her belly.

"what!"

Wang Xiaodie let out a scream, and the woman in black pulled out her hand from her abdomen, bringing out a lump of blurred flesh and blood.

"Evil!" Fang Beiming yelled, raising his sword and stabbing at the woman in black.

The woman in black smiled coquettishly, took a step back holding her flesh and blood, and pushed Wang Xiaodie towards Fang Beiming.

Fang Beiming hugged him over to Shao Yi.Shao Yi put Wang Xiaodie on the ground, and Gu Jiu quickly took out the wound medicine.There was a hole in Wang Xiaodie's abdomen, her complexion was ashen, and she had already passed out from the pain.

Shao Yi applied medicine to Wang Xiaodie to stop the bleeding, Gu Jiu looked up at the courtyard, if she was right, the woman in black was Lan Yue and also Xiu Niang.

"Isn't Lanyue a water ghost? After leaving Wang Xiaodie's body, she shouldn't be able to stay on the shore anymore?" Gu Jiu asked suspiciously.

Shao Yi's expression was solemn: "Lan Yue is very strong, comparable to the little ghost king."

"Little ghost king?"

Shao Yi looked around, tore off a piece of Wang Xiaodie's wedding dress, wrapped up the bloody hole in her abdomen, and distracted himself to explain Gu Jiu's confusion: "There are ghost kings in the world, who are the leaders of ghosts, but they are often not Most of the real ghosts are Bodhisattvas incarnations, used to educate all living beings, there is no distinction between good and evil. The little ghost king is not as powerful as the ghost king, but they are all very vicious, and all of them are advanced ghosts. One step, I have jumped out of some rules of the way of heaven, and I am not bound."

Gu Jiu understood, just like in the novels he had read about comprehension, a person who was supposed to live to be 60 years old lived for hundreds of years after becoming a monk with a root, which also jumped out of the "only 60 years" rules of heaven.

Lan Yue became the little ghost king, so she jumped out of the rule that water ghosts can only live in water.Shao Yi could see Lan Yue's strength at a glance, which meant that he had met other little ghost kings before.

Knowing that Lan Yue was a ghost, Fang Beiming naturally had to be wary of Lan Yue. In the afternoon, while the newcomer was visiting, Fang Beimen buried a few talisman papers inside Hao's house. At this time, he held his sword and retreated.

"I am the Celestial Eye, chasing the sky. My eyes are like thunder and lightning, shining brightly."

"Seeing the outside and the inside, everything is hidden."

"Hurry up as a law!"

A few bolts of lightning flashed in the sky above Hao's house, and a faint thunder sounded

But seeing that Lan Yue was not afraid at all, her frosty face showed a ferocious and wild smile, "The Taoist priest is really jealous, but it's too late! Today is the anniversary of my death, so you can accompany the people of this village to pay homage to me! "

She held the fuzzy mass of flesh in front of her chest with both hands, and murmured in a low voice and quickly, but in the blink of an eye, she saw that mass of flesh and blood disappeared into nothingness, engulfed into a cloud of black mist, and flew into all directions of Hao's house. .

Then, strands of black mist emerged from the ground and slowly rose to the sky, covering up the light of the lightning and suppressing the sound of thunder.

"Blood Fiend Yin Dragon Formation?" Gu Jiu was surprised, and looked at Shao Yi uncertainly.

Shao Yi looked at the resentment floating around him, frowned and nodded.

Fang Beiming was already furious, he shouted to Lan Yue: "Say! Who is helping you!"

He was about to rush up, but he saw Lan Yue pointing five fingers at a thin man on the ground. The man was unconscious and caught in Lan Yue's hands. Lan Yue casually warned: "Don't move, if you move again, I'll kill him!"

Fang Beiming had to stop.

Lan Yue pinched the man's neck, and as soon as she exerted force, the man couldn't stand the pain and suffocation, and struggled to wake up.Lan Yue's lips were almost attached to the other person's face, her expression was full of longing and admiration, and she called softly: "Sanlang? Sanlang, do you remember me?"

When Hao Zhenwen saw Lan Yue at close range, his pupils were wide open, full of panic, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't speak because he was strangled.Tears were streaming down his face, and there was a look of pleading in his eyes.

Lan Yue flicked her sleeve with the other hand, as if some restriction had been removed, and the originally quiet and comatose person made a sound instantly.

Lan Yue stroked Hao Zhenwen's face with her fingers, "Through the years, Saburo's face has not changed at all." When her fingers left, sharp nails suddenly drew blood on his face, and she crushed the blood with her fingertips, Unfortunately, said: "The blood is still so cold."

"Xiu, Xiuniang?!" An old woman with gray hair on the ground looked at Lan Yue in black in disbelief.

Lan Yue turned her head, looked down at the old woman, and said calmly: "I'm not Xiu Niang, my name is Lan Yue, the dancer Lan Yue of Wangyue Tower in the capital."

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and Hao Zhenwen finally spoke with difficulty: "Lan... Lan Yue!"

The old woman didn't understand, but when she saw Hao Zhenwen's scratched face and suffocated forehead with blue veins, she knelt down and begged: "Xiuniang, Bulan, Lanyue, you let Zhenwen go, what happened back then was caused by me and me. Qiu Rong planned it all, but Zhenwen didn't know, he didn't know anything! For so many years, he misses you every day!"

Lan Yue turned her head to look at Hao Zhenwen inexplicably: "I don't know?"

The old woman nodded again and again: "Yes, he doesn't know!"

Hao Zhenwen's complexion turned pale, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Lan Yue chuckled, but her eyes were red. She pinched Hao Zhenwen's hand suddenly and said angrily: "He knows, he knows! He knows that you framed me, he watched me being humiliated, watching me being tied up He kept his hands and feet shut, and no matter how much I begged and how desperate I was, he stood there and watched indifferently until I died! When you were crying bitterly on the shore, I was watching you dead in the water!"

Hao Zhenwen slapped Lan Yue's hand weakly, and opened his mouth wide, desperately trying to catch his breath.

But Lanyue didn't let go, and fell into her painful memory, "I'm a dancer, I was born in a brothel, I'm a prostitute, but you don't sell my body, Saburo, you know it! Why did you change as soon as you came back? You, like them, think I'm not clean , Forbid me to go out, how much you used to like to watch me dance, but in the end ordered me to burn the dance clothes.

"Sanlang, it's fine if you don't go back to the village."

With a click, Hao Zhenwen's neck broke.

"Zhenwen!" Several screams sounded, it was the old woman and Qiu Rong who had just woken up.

Fang Beiming cursed secretly, without hesitation, he raised his sword and went up.

Lan Yue threw away Hao Zhenwen and dodged Fang Beiming's attack. The black mist on her body was churning, hysterical: "I want you to be buried with me!"

The floating resentment slowly condensed into one resentful ghost after another, and rushed towards the remaining people who had just woken up.
