Yan ghost

Xiaoyu, whose real name was Xiang Yu, died in a fire, and then possessed the puppet.The doll was made by his elder brother when he was five years old.

The Xiang family had many generations of officials and officials, and their grandfather was a prime minister, but they happened to be in his father's generation.

When Xiang Yu was young, his parents often traveled far away, and whenever he missed his mother at night, he would cry secretly.One night, the mother who was away from home came to the bedside.The mother said: "Brother said that you were crying and making noise and wanted to see me, how about I come to accompany you in a dream?" From that day on, Xiang Yu went to bed early and was no longer sad.When he was older, he discovered that his brother was hiding under the bed manipulating dolls and pretending to be his mother.After seeing through the deception, he felt ashamed and dared not pursue it.Now that I think about it, that puppet is not exquisite, and the manipulation technique is also very clumsy. Although the elder brother's voice has not changed, it doesn't sound like his mother. If an adult is in the daytime, he will be able to tell the difference.However, people back then had never seen a real doll, and the elder brother's doll was more than enough to fool a child of his age.

Regarding the dolls, there is another little thing that Xiang Yu still remembers to this day.At that time, my parents were not there, and my elder brother was in charge.The elder brother neither knows how to run a house nor take care of others.Domestic servants saw that the house was homeless, and theft happened from time to time.The elder brother is very trustworthy, and several domestic servants are cunning and eat him to death.Finally one day, all the things in the house were taken away, and the servants also left.When the parents came back, they found that the house was well-organized, and there were wooden armors with charms everywhere, for cooking and sweeping the floor.Seeing the puppet picking up a brush and dusting the orchid grass, my father kept saying, "That's great, that's great."

At the age of studying, Xiang Yu and his elder brother entered the palace as the emperor's companions.He works in calligraphy and painting, especially in flowers and birds, and was recruited into the painting academy, but he still has a childlike heart, and often slips out to play with his elder brother.The elder brother changed the puppet into Xiang Yu's appearance and left it in the painting academy to avoid the teacher's punishment.One day, Xiang Yu received a letter from a classmate threatening to report him.The elder brother gave Xiang Yu a few wooden armors and asked him to make small clothes to please his classmates.Unexpectedly, the other party is not like other children, who does not accept bribes, and even writes back to reveal the flaws of the puppet, which is very annoying.The elder brother refused to accept it, and went back and improved several times, but was exposed every time.

Later, a theater troupe came to the capital.The troupe wandered around, and when they left the capital, my elder brother followed him, saying that there was a puppet master in the troupe who wanted to follow.Two years later, the elder brother came back and saw that Xiang Yu was not good at getting along with women, so he made the puppet into the appearance of a young girl.Later, the elder brother's ghost power wooden armor became popular, and many ghosts coveted the doll.The elder brother engraved his own name, so other Yanshi could not control it, and ghosts could not possess their souls without his permission.

Inside Pengniao is another world.The internal space is narrow, only allowing one person to crawl through, in order to compress the size of the bird and reduce flight resistance.Although the space is small, it is not an obstacle for ghosts like Qinghuai.He floats in it, passing through various areas, some are full of fine gears, and some are full of slender levers.

Parts that are haunted will radiate black anger, and it can be seen that most parts have been occupied.Especially the areas near the windows, where you can enjoy the scenery while flying, have long been robbed.It is impossible to chat in one place with three parts vacant in a row.

There are roughly two types of parts left.The first is a separate component vacated by the hot zone.The area itself is nice, but the presence of ghosts nearby is extremely difficult and everyone stays away.The second is the preferred area of ​​loners.There is always a ghost in one seat, and there is no ghost in the other seat, so sit next to each other.If you approach the seat between the two ghosts and disturb their quietness, you will feel the hatred from both sides without waiting for the ghost to possess you.But if the seats are not filled, the Pengniao cannot take off, and the silence is temporary.

Qinghuai considered that everyone came in one by one when possessing the soul, and that was the only way to go out. It's better to choose the one near the exit and go out first, so that Xiang Yu and the others won't be left waiting too long.

Qinghuai attached herself to a large gear under her feet.

After being possessed, he realized that the components had no sound generator, and ghosts could only communicate with each other through souls, which is called soul communication.Every time we meet, say the last sentence.If you want to talk to the parts in the distance, you have to ask the parts around you to pass them on one by one, which is inconvenient and romantic.

In addition to vocalizing, souls can still see, hear, and feel by relying on spiritual power.But even so, after possessing the parts, the original appearance of the soul is no longer visible.If the people around you possess the soul before you, it will be difficult to guess whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is good or evil.

"There is a spell shackle, and it can't be activated!" The message on the right is a gear that is one size smaller than Qinghuai, let's call it the right gear.

"Use a little force!" Qinghuai finally understood why no one claimed her big gear.The gears are large and require more grievances to drive.

"No way!" The right gear didn't know if he wanted to say it himself, or if he was passing on the words of the gear beside him.

"Turn harder! It shouldn't be a problem with the spell, but it needs more force than normal rotation to start it." Qing Huai's words were passed down by the gears one by one.Everyone knew that it was not because of the spell, so they immediately gained confidence, and soon the gears started whirring.

The right gear asked: "The charm is also scattered! What should I do next?"

"Spread your wings, speed up, and turn upward." Qing Huai made some calculations, "Let's double the gear first and try."

The gears were working hard, and the grievances on the parts flew up like thousands of black crows.Not long after Qing Huai's words came out, the window parts reported that they saw the Peng bird spread its wings and fly up.

Qinghuai felt relieved, and said to both sides: "Please friends by the window to pass all the news you see to the middle."

"Why are you bleeding from both wrists?" Zuo Gear asked abruptly.He possessed before Qinghuai, and he had seen Qinghuai's appearance before possessing his soul.

"I do not know either."

"The ghost retains the appearance of death, and you probably died of excessive blood loss." Zuo Gear said.

"That's strange. Won't the wrist cut heal? How can the blood flow continue?" Qing Huai wondered whether he was born unable to coagulate blood, or whether he was in high temperature when he died, and the blood flow accelerated.

"There is a way..." Zuo Gear was extremely confident, but he didn't continue. He changed the subject and said, "There are marks of beheading on your neck."

"It seems to be..." Qing Huai remembered that there was a circle of scars on his neck, like a necklace.

"There is not much blood on the neck, the head should have been cut off after death." Zuo Gear saw that Qing Huai did not know the cause of death, so he speculated.

"That's right. You said that the ghost retains its appearance when it dies. If I were beheaded to death, I should be a headless ghost." Qinghuai said again, "Why do I have to beheaded after death? Is my head any good? Who can't submit it to?"

Left Gear didn't respond, what a topic stopper.

After a while, the Peng bird flew smoothly.The ghosts have already mastered it, freely manipulating their own parts.During the long journey, someone proposed to play a game.Everyone tells a story, and let the parts around you pass it on.But the story should hide who the protagonist is and pay attention to privacy.

At first, many ghosts talked about the reason for possessing their souls.For example, a ghost possesses a wooden armor because he does not want to die of old age.Another example is a ghost who was tortured by illness and possessed a wooden armor.There are also many stories about the soul possessed, for example, the soul possessed is devoted to revenge, the soul is concealed after the soul is possessed, and the front line is continued after the soul possessed.

Later, stories about Mujia and Yanshi began to be told.Most of the ghosts here do not have a fixed Yanshi, so most of them are stories of meeting by chance.Some Mujias were rescued by unknown Yanshi, some Mujias were sacrificed for unknown Yanshis, and some Mujias were used by trusted Yanshis, or Mujias deceived Yanshis who trusted them.Occasionally, one or two mujias who used to have exclusive Yanshi, after telling the story, aroused a burst of envy.

It's the left gear's turn.Qing Huai was the first to pass down this story.

Once upon a time, there was a child who was born with an incurable hidden disease. I asked one doctor after another, and they all said that he would not be five years old.Finally one day, the mother smothered the child to death in her arms.

The child wakes up and finds himself possessed by a doll.It turned out that the mother did not give up on herself, but exhausted all her savings and asked Yanshi to make a doll.A child has an ugly adult body, but the mind is still a child's mind.Children try to play with their peers, but are always ridiculed for their appearance.When adults come into contact with a child, they only feel that he is stupid.In order to protect themselves, children can only avoid contact with people.

Soon, the dolls began to crumble.At the beginning, that Yanshi cheated the money and disappeared long ago.Children can't leave their souls by themselves.After half a year, the puppet completely fell apart, and the soul flew out.The mother refused to give up, and took the child to find a second Yanshi, hoping to obtain a new body, a normal child's body.

With the experience of the first Yanshi, the mother was very cautious, and she found the most respected person in the Yanshi guild.But there are too many people looking for that Yanshi, so we can only select the best souls to make dolls for it.Therefore, adults are compared with adults, children are compared with children, men are compared with men, and women are compared with women.Other children try their best to show themselves, children have no talent or scheming, and they can't compete at all.

Seeing that his mother was missing, the child hid in the association and secretly read books, learning the art of possessing the soul and leaving the soul.The child picked the best doll in the guild to possess, and changed the other children all over again.The happy soul is put into the unhappy body, and the unhappy soul is happy.

It didn't take long for the matter to come to light.Many victims testified against children.Yanshi forced the child out of his body.Yanshi has nothing to do with the soul of the child.But he reported to the official and executed his mother to punish him.The child wanted revenge, but couldn't find a satisfactory way.

The child followed the wandering souls to the home of the third Yanshi, and they all said that the second Yanshi was most afraid of him.I thought it was a powerful character, but I didn't expect it was just my brother who was not a few years older than me.This man is also very easy to deceive, so that Yeye makes dolls for the ghosts.The child soon got a body from the third Yanshi, which was better than any doll in the guild.

Finally one day, the child found a way to take revenge on the second Yanshi.Yanshi had a young son who could just speak.The child killed it and trapped it in an ugly wooden armor that could not speak.He found another reason and begged the third Yanshi to make himself a puppet like the young son, and make himself bigger every time.The second Yanshi family was fooled and loved the children in every possible way.

As they get older, the dolls become more and more like the children of that year.The second Yanshi noticed something and was very panicked. He questioned the child, and the child confessed everything.Yanshi wanted to tear him into pieces, but his wife resolutely stopped him because of feelings.Yanshi asked the child to tell the whereabouts of his own son.The child said: "Don't you know how to deal with your own failed works? Go look for those places." After finishing speaking, he left.

I thought everything was over like this, and the child lived a carefree life with the Mujias in the third Yanshi's home.I don't want the third Yanshi to cause trouble.Once Yanshi went out, his home was caught in a fire, hundreds of wooden armors were burned, and his soul was scattered.A few days later, the child and other souls in the family wandered to the gate of the city and saw the head of the third Yanshi.
