Bird Dude Nie Bufan

For the people of Xishan City, the Ghost Festival is not a big or small festival.Early in the morning, I saw many street vendors displaying all kinds of strange accessories and exotic clothes. Many people wore fancy clothes, painted very impactful colorful facial makeup, or directly put on ghost masks, pretending to be ghosts, and walking on the street. to have fun.

It is said that in this way, real ghosts can treat them as the same kind, and enjoy themselves with others instead of bringing disasters to others.On this day, even if someone really saw a ghost, he should be treated as a human being.Once the identity is revealed, he will be haunted by ghosts.

As the sun grew stronger, there were more and more demons and ghosts on the street, and the atmosphere became more and more lively. People who bought and sold, performed shows, prayed to God and worshiped Buddha, watched the theater, wrestled, and there was an endless stream of people.

At this time, a man wearing a mask and a red robe came to a grocery vendor and seemed to be inspecting the products.

The peddler greeted warmly: "What does this guest need? The things here are all handmade by the villain, and they are absolutely exquisite."

The man did not speak, and picked out a blood-stained bone fan.

"25 Wen, thank you." The peddler said with a smile on his face.

The man slowly took out the money from the purse and handed it over.The peddler stretched out his hand, and his eyes naturally fell on the opponent's hand, and his smile froze for a moment.The man's hand grabbing the money was gray and bruised, the back of his hand was bloody and cracked, as if it had been scraped open by some sharp knife, and there were still some blackened blood stains on the wound. Against the backdrop of the red sleeves, it looked particularly hideous. terror.

The hands of the peddler receiving the money trembled, but he tried to remain calm.Ordinary people pretending to be ghosts will only make fuss about their faces and clothing, and will never spend time on their hands and feet.The makeup is mainly rich and gaudy, which looks strange, but has a special sense of beauty.But the wound on the hand of this one in front of him is too realistic.

Have you met a real ghost?The hawker was blowing out of the cold, and the excitement around him couldn't dispel the slightest bit.His gaze moved upwards slowly, and he paused for a moment on the mask of the other party's teeth and claws, and then he noticed that his neck was a piercing blue-gray, with blue veins exposed, and blood streaks intertwined in it.

The peddler froze, until the other party put the money in his hand and turned to leave without making a sound.

After a while, he lowered his head to look at the money in his hand, only to be terrified again. The copper plates were actually mixed with paper dust, and some of them were still stained with blood.

He excitedly grabbed the acquaintance who was setting up a stall on the other side, and spoke incoherently about what happened just now.

After hearing this, the man immediately whispered: "You are crazy, even if you are a ghost, don't say anything casually, and be careful not to be entangled by him."

The peddler turned pale and didn't dare to say anything.

However, what he said spread inadvertently, and many good people spoke convincingly, but they only dared to discuss in a low voice.Although the words became more and more exaggerated, the man's attire was well known by many people.

Masks, red clothes, gray skin, coins with paper ashes and blood stains.

Nie Bufan stopped at a bun shop, silently looking at the steaming steamer.

"Guest, what do you want to order? This shop sells buns, dumplings with various fillings, and porridge with bean porridge." The shopkeeper asked through the hazy fog.

"A meat bun." Nie Bufan said quietly.

"Okay." The shopkeeper wrapped the bun and handed it to him, "Three pennies, thank you for your patronage."

Nie Bufan took the steamed stuffed bun, but without paying, he lifted the mask in half, revealing a horrible chin and a pitch-black mouth.

Seeing that the other party didn't give the money, the shopkeeper leaned over and saw him taking a bite out of the steamed stuffed bun with his bloody mouth open. His face turned pale with fright, and he couldn't help but yell out.

After eating the meat buns, Nie Bufan said again: "One more vegetable buns."

The shopkeeper handed the bun to him tremblingly, he swallowed it a few mouthfuls, was silent for a while, and said again: "One more sugar bun."

Can't you finish it all at once?The store owner was scared and irritable and didn't dare to attack. He was suffering a lot and just wanted to send this great god away as soon as possible.

At this time, another customer came to buy steamed stuffed buns, and the store hurriedly went to greet him, but when the customer saw Nie Bufan, he ran away in a hurry.

The same thing happened repeatedly, until later no one dared to approach Nie Bufan, the steamed stuffed bun shop was almost occupied by him alone, and the shopkeeper wanted to cry but had no tears.

After eating three buns, Nie Bufan felt full, so he fumbled and handed over the money.

The shopkeeper had a mournful face, and said almost beggingly: "No need, I'll treat you, you go."

Nie Bufan felt that it would be immoral not to pay for meals, so he gave a bronze mirror engraved with a ghost head that he bought to the store, and then drifted away.

The shopkeeper looked at the bronze mirror with only a vague ghost image printed on it, and even wanted to cry - please don't come again!

Wang Shichan, who has been following Nie Bufan not far away, secretly shook his head. This guy is really damaged. He actually put on makeup on all the skin that might be exposed on his body, and the makeup is realistic. If you don’t look carefully, you can almost see If it doesn't come out, it's fake.If it is at night, it can definitely scare people to death.

Seeing him wandering all the way, weaving through the crowd, scaring others to death from time to time, even if the scared people did not dare to say anything after receiving the coins, Wang Shichan suddenly felt dumbfounded.

The market in Xishan City is not big, and after a morning, the rumors about the "real" ghost Nie Bufan have gradually become widely known.So that later, all the people in red received extra attention.

Li Yi, Zhang Junshi and others also wandered around the market, looking for someone who had run away from home.With such excitement, with Nie Bufan's character, it is impossible not to come out and pretend to be a ghost to scare people.It's just that most of the people put on makeup, which made people dazzled, which undoubtedly made it more difficult to find someone.

On the other side, Wei Di went to Jiwo Village and met with Si Chenyu.He was lucky, most of the flocks were outside the village when he went there, so he didn't make things difficult for him.

After talking about the matter, I wanted to meet the village head of Jiwo Village, but unfortunately he was not there, so he could only return to Xishan City temporarily.

"Did you find Duan Yu?" Wei Di asked as soon as he returned to his residence.

A servant bowed and replied, "Not yet."

Before Wei Di got angry, he immediately added: "However, we caught Mr. Duan Yu's chicken."

Wei Di looked over, and saw another attendant holding a brown hen in his hand, with a fierce look in his eyes, it was indeed the chicken named "Langya" next to someone.

He frowned: "So what if you catch this chicken?"

The attendant said: "We can lead it around the streets. If Mr. Duan Yu sees it, we will definitely find a way to steal the chicken back."

Wei Di pondered for a moment before agreeing.

The attendant took out a thin rope, wrapped it around Langya's neck, then pulled the other end, and forced it to go out.

Wei Di put on the mask handed by the maid, and followed far behind.

After they left, Hua girl and Jin Zi walked out from the dark place, their eyes were sharp and murderous.They looked at each other, turned and disappeared into the alley at the same time.

In the afternoon, Nie Bufan was tired from shopping, so he found a step to sit down and rest, while Wang Shichan leaned against a tree not far away.

As soon as he sat down, the people nearby moved away without a trace, but a vacuum was isolated after a while.

Nie Bufan didn't care at all, he held the cake and raised it up.

"There are cakes, do you want to eat?"

"Need not."

Nie Bufan ate by himself, and a lot of the makeup on his mouth was swallowed up, distorted and deformed, which looked very strange.

Generally, rouge is poisonous. The reason why Nie Bufan eats it with confidence is because the makeup around his mouth is basically made of various vegetable and fruit juices and some half-baked meat, so there is no need to worry about it being harmful to the body.

In order to increase the effect, he secretly took a few mouthfuls of prepared sesame paste or red sugar water from time to time.After eating the cake, you can see red liquid flowing from the corner of his mouth...

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, screams, cursing, and collisions one after another, like a wave, from far to near.

Nie Bufan stood up, and saw dust everywhere in the distance, many people rushed towards this direction in a panic, and it seemed that he heard the crowing of chickens in the chaos.

Chicken crowing?

Nie Bufan hurriedly climbed onto a beast-shaped stone statue next to him, looked into the distance, and saw many chickens running and jumping among the crowd.At a glance, he recognized the chickens from his chicken nest village. It is impossible for ordinary chickens to fly over the walls, as fast as lightning!

They acted in unison, there were about thirty or forty of them, and they seemed to be chasing some people.

Among those who were chased, one was holding a chicken in his arms.Judging by their attire, they should be from Wei Di.

Nie Bufan was a little surprised that Wei Di actually grabbed his chicken in order to find him.

This person has high martial arts skills, and ordinary fighting chickens are not his opponents, so they recruited a group of chicken friends from Jiwo Village to help out.

Those servants were also unlucky, and it was not good to catch anyone, but Langya was caught. As Hua girl's best friend, although he was a little rooster-minded, he was very protective of his weaknesses. Except Nie Bufan, no one could bully his hen!

It is the first mutated chicken in Jiwo Village, extremely smart, and its prestige in Jiwo Village is second only to Village Chief Nie, and it is well received by everyone.In addition, these chickens are the masters of the party that caused the disaster, so they naturally joined the chicken rescue operation without hesitation.

Wei Di and the others wandered the street for less than an hour when they saw a flock of chickens rushing towards them aggressively.

Then the scene that Nie Bufan saw happened, the whole market was swept by chickens, the dust was fluffing and dancing, and it was in chaos.

Wei Di's attendants fled in embarrassment, with claw marks on their cuffs and clothes.

Seeing them getting closer, Nie Bufan threw away his mask and shouted, "Put that chicken down!"

Everyone looked around, and saw a man standing on top of a ferocious stone statue, with fluffy hair, blue-faced fangs, angry eyes, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, holding a blood-stained bone fan, and a bright red robe blown by the wind. Dancing, in the setting sun, it looks like a charm.

Everyone fell silent for an instant, holding their breath and looking up.

The red-clothed ghost pointed at the crowd and shouted: "Come here!"

Everyone thought it was calling them, and they all dared not move.

Unexpectedly, the flock of chickens that were originally rioting came out of the crowd one by one, and walked obediently to the side of the red-clothed demon.

Everyone stared blankly at this scene.

The red-clothed ghost pointed at the few people at the front again, and angrily reprimanded: "Don't let go of that chicken!"

The attendant was dumbfounded and did not respond, the chickens became agitated, and they spread their wings and croaked at the man with a frightening sound.

The attendant was startled, and hurriedly let go of Langya in his arms, Langya kicked him, and ran into the chicken flock in a bully manner.

Under the horrified gaze of everyone, the red-clothed demon stood tall with fluttering robes.At this time, the sun just set, the sky was gradually dimming, with gusts of wind blowing, the surrounding was dead silent, adding a bit of ghostly aura.

He only heard him say with a sinister smile: "Let me see you catching chickens again, and I will feed you to the chickens!"

Several attendants couldn't help shivering.

The red-clothed demon waved his sleeves, "It's all gone!"

The chickens obeyed, jumped and flew, and scattered away, but disappeared in the alley after a while.

Charm in red put on her mask again, jumped off the stone statue, and returned to a low profile.

When the dust settled, someone whispered tremblingly: "Did you see? He can actually command the flock of chickens."

"So, he...is he really a ghost?"

"My God, I sold him that fan."

"He still ate my buns?"

"What should we do? Are we going to pretend we didn't see anything?"

"I didn't see it, I didn't see anything!"

"That's right, let's go, let's go, let's go quickly."

"Oh, I will never eat chicken again..."

The crowd dispersed, but before leaving, from the corner of his eyes, he still looked at the red figure standing quietly beside the stone statue from time to time.

Since then, there has been a legend about the chicken god in Xishan City. Every ghost festival, everyone no longer kills chickens to eat chicken.
