unlucky ghost

Tanxi died in Tan's house, and was only 17 years old when he died.

This Tanxi was originally living on the street with no one to rely on, but later the master of the Tan family was a bodhisattva, and let him be the accountant.

Besides, the Tan family's incense is not very prosperous, and the single lineage has been passed down to Mr. Tan. Although he has been a merchant for generations, he has accumulated some family property, but unfortunately, he still has no heirs in middle age.Fortunately, the child came late after the year of forgetting the year, and gave birth to a white and fat boy who was named Tan Zishi.Just because he was born in Zishi, he took the homonym of "Zishi" as "Zishi".

The two didn't get along well at first, Tan Zishi was only eight years old when Tan Xi died, he was not yet human, he was so overbearing that even his father couldn't control him.

The strange thing is that Tanxi died in the middle of the night, but Tanzi actually saw Tanxi in the backyard the next day and talked to him.

When the housekeeper came to call for someone in the evening, he realized that Tan Xi's body had already been completely cooled, so he hurriedly called Master Tan to come and see.

Only now did Tanxi know that he was dead.

Later, Master Tan saw his miserable and strange death, so he called the old doctor Xian'er from outside the city to have a look.

When the old doctor Xian'er came, he only glanced at it, and insisted that Tanxi died last night, and died of suffocation.

Master Tan was so frightened that his legs went limp at once, and he thought to himself, what a pity, Tanzi didn't see Tanxi until noon and came back.

Master Tan hurriedly asked his servants to look for Tan Zishi, but Tan Zishi was holding the edge of the door to look in, and when he saw Tan Xi's body, he was frightened for a moment.

Tanxi was also a little dumbfounded, standing outside the door looking at his dead body, when Tanzi turned his head and saw Tanxi's ghost, he screamed out of fright, hugged his father and cried, only Said: "Tanxi is by the well, I'm afraid..."

Everyone said that the child's lack of yang energy was due to an evil spirit, and Master Tan hurriedly sent someone to invite Xuanqing Taoist priests from Xuanguang Temple to exorcise the evil spirits.

If you want to say this, you can also blame the stinky Taoist priest, who took the money from the Tan family and then talked nonsense, saying: "The ghosts linger here, there must be something that is hard to give up, and just burn this backyard together."

Master Tan didn't think much about it, so he burned the backyard to the ground.

Even Tanxi's body was burned.

Tan Xi just watched the fire turn his body into ashes without blinking.

The Taoist pasted spells around the mansion again, determined to subdue the unlucky Tanxi.

People do not keep ghosts, and ghosts do not keep themselves.

Tanxi sighed, and left Tanfu, which had raised him for eight years.

Tan Xi expected that there would be a ghost messenger to catch him to the underworld soon, but after waiting for a day, there was no sign of the ghost messenger, so he went up the mountain in the dark.

Tanxi shrunk to the halfway up the mountain, and suddenly heard a woman's cry, which was very touching.Going further, I saw a lonely farmer's family under a cliff, with candles flickering faintly in the straw windows.

Tanxi walked to the broken wooden door, and saw a thin woman kneeling beside the bed, covering her face and weeping, under the candle lamp.

Lying flat on the bed was a thin old man, his face pale as if he had just passed away.

Tanxi walked to the door, stood beside the girl, and saw a figure sitting on the bed, flying out of the corpse.

Tanxi glanced at the figure, who also looked at him, and nodded his head.

The girl cried hoarsely, her tears were all drained, and she could only sob intermittently.

The figure stood at the same place as Tanxi, raised his hand to pat the girl on the shoulder, but couldn't catch it, so he sighed: "Oh, my poor girl, I killed her, and she will be alone in the future." how?"

Tan Xi had a clumsy mouth but a good heart, and hurriedly comforted him: "My old man's condolences are by the way."

The figure looked up at him and said, "Why did you end up here?"

Tanxi said: "He died for no reason." And the death was quite miserable.

The figure also sighed for him, patted his shoulder and said: "You are still so young, what a pity, what a pity."

Tanxi looked down at the girl and asked, "How old is your little girl? Has she ever been married to someone else?"

The figure sighed, and said: "Fang is fifteen years old, and she has not yet betrothed to someone... oh..."

But he said that this man was called Chen Rong, and he lived alone in the mountains and forests, cutting firewood for a living, and he was able to get by.Later, this girl was picked up in a wild grass, and she was named Chen Huizhi, and the father and daughter have depended on each other until now.

Chen Rong sighed: "A few years ago I suddenly caught a cold. It wasn't a disease that meant death, but there was no money in the family to treat the disease, so I delayed it. I couldn't get better. The day before yesterday, I suddenly fainted. After waking up He vomited another mouthful of blood, which may have scared her. She didn’t want to go down the mountain alone yesterday, and when she came back at night, she had some ginseng on her body. After asking, I found out that she had sold herself to a Fengyue restaurant. When I heard that, I was anxious and annoyed , In a moment of anger, he passed away." After Chen Rong finished speaking, the east side was faintly pale, and it seemed that the sky was about to dawn.

The little girl cried all night, and gradually fell asleep lying on the edge of the bed, showing a bit of tranquility.

Chen Rong looked at her and said dejectedly: "It's a pity that her life has been ruined like this. If I knew this, I shouldn't have brought her back."

Tanxi comforted her again, and the sky gradually became clearer.

At sunrise on Dongshan Mountain, a group of people came up mightily from the foot of the mountain, all dressed in dark blue satin gowns, they looked quite wealthy, followed by a soft gray sedan chair.

Chen Rong was shocked, and hurried to call the sleeping girl, "Huizhi, Huizhi, wake up, you must not go with those people, Huizhi..."

Seeing that those people were about to enter the yard, fearing that there would be another life-and-death separation, Tan Xi hurriedly pulled up Chen Rong's sleeves, pulled him out of the door, and said earnestly: "Everyone has a life, you can protect her." But she couldn't protect her for the rest of her life for a while, so she simply let go of it, and whatever happens to her in the future will be her fate."

As soon as they reached the door, the group of people had already entered the fenced courtyard, and Chen Huizhi also woke up.

Among the group of people, the leader was a young man with greasy hair and flour noodles, who saluted Chen Huizhi in a very polite manner, and said politely: "Dong Chen, I was ordered to take the girl away, and I also asked the girl to prepare her luggage. Let's go into town together."

Tanxi couldn't bear it, so she tugged at Chen Rong who was at the side, and persuaded: "Old man, let's go."

Chen Rong nodded, but couldn't move forward.

But seeing Chen Huizhi turn around in a dull manner, and slammed into the wall with a stride, Chen Rong was startled.

Fortunately, Dong Chen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he stretched out his hand to stop Chen Huizhi from harming his life, only blood came out from the corner of his forehead.

This collision made Chen Huizhi dizzy and half leaned against Dong Chen's arms.

Dong Chen comforted and said: "Young girl sold herself to save her father, and men admire her integrity three points. If there is a spirit in heaven to respect your father, you will definitely not want you to hurt yourself like this. Girl, you should think about it."

Chen Huizhi was in a trance, but she shed tears, and said with a sneer, "I made him mad and lost my chastity. Wouldn't it make him even more sad to be alive?"

Dong Chen tore off a piece of silk from his sleeve, wrapped the wound on her forehead for her, and ordered the people behind him to bring in the soft sedan chair outside, and said: "Miss, you must not think like this, listen to the next piece of persuasion, and replace your father." Live well." After saying that, he picked her up in his arms.

When a group of people passed by, Chen Rong sighed and said to Tanxi: "I hope she can meet a good person who will take her out of the sea of ​​suffering."

Tan Xi echoed, "I hope so."

The two ghosts were about to go outside when suddenly there was a sound of rattling iron chains in mid-air.

As soon as the group of people left, a plain-clothed, plain-hatted devil emerged from a crack in the wall. He had a thin body, a dry face, and a string of thick iron chains in his hands. He grinned and walked towards the two of them.

Tanxi laughed and said: "My local government won't accept me, I'm going to be a lonely ghost, and I came here unexpectedly."

The ghost looked him up and asked, "Are you Chen Rong?"

Tanxi shook her head.

Chen Rong stepped forward to salute and said, "I am, I am, and the local government officials will lead the way."

Seeing that he was acquainted, the ghost messenger nodded in satisfaction and said, "You're welcome, let's go." He didn't tie Chen Rong's neck with the iron chain in his hand.

Seeing that the two ghosts were about to leave, Tanxi hurriedly grabbed the ghost messenger by the sleeve, and begged: "Master official, recruiting one ghost is also a trick, and recruiting two ghosts is also a trick. Why don't you take me with you, or you can avoid it?" Trouble is not."

The ghost guard glared at him angrily, grabbed the sleeve from his hand, and reprimanded: "This seduction is no joke, you name and name in the book of life and death, and you will accept whoever you call, how can you be so messy. "After finishing speaking, he turned around and reprimanded, "Just wait, there will be a ghost messenger to collect you when the time comes." After finishing speaking, he escorted Chen Rong to the door.

Tanxi followed step by step, and the sky outside the hut was overcast.

The sun was blocked by thick clouds.

The cloudy wind kept blowing, Tanxi couldn't help shivering, and the smoke he exhaled hit her face.

The three ghosts walked together and circled up the mountain road.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, a cliff appeared ahead.

Seeing that the two ghosts were still walking with their heads covered, Tanxi kindly reminded: "Master the official, don't go any further. There is a cliff ahead, so it won't work."

The ghost messenger ignored him and just kept moving forward.

When they reached the cliff, Chen Rong turned his head and waved at him, and then they were buried in the cliff together, watching Tanxi in a daze for a long while.

As soon as the two ghosts disappeared, the smoke above Tanxi's head began to gradually dissipate.

The scarlet sun reappeared in the sky, and it had turned to the south, just behind Tanxi.

The sun hit his face, and Tanxi's face began to feel hot.

Tanxi raised her sleeves to cover her face, and hurriedly ran down the mountain.

After running for half a mile, Tanxi's body was as hot as if it had been fished out of a frying pan, and his mind became confused.

Tanxi ran on the mountain road in a daze, went round and round and returned to Chen Rong's thatched cottage.

On the old locust tree at the gate of the courtyard, the branches and leaves facing north were all withered and yellow, and the fine yellow leaves were spread all over the ground.

Tanxi hurriedly got into the broken thatched hut, his body gradually became cold, and then he woke up again.

The shadow cast by the door lintel at the foot moved and moved, and when it finally stretched to the wall of the hall, Tanxi looked down the mountain and vaguely saw some sparks.

Chen Rong's body was still on the bed, attracting three or two flies, buzzing and making Tanxi upset.

Heartbroken, Tanxi dragged Chen Rong's body into the courtyard, covered it with two layers of dead tree leaves, threw a fire, and one of them accidentally set the fence on fire.

Tanxi was busy looking for water, but he didn't find a drop of water after searching for a long time.

The fire went out along the fence wall.

The thick black smoke rolled into the sky and burned for a full two hours before stopping.

With this commotion, the people down the mountain were startled again.

Several families on the edge of the city saw the fire in Chen Qiaofu's house with their own eyes, and the rumors spread, and it turned into a will-o'-the-wisp in Chen Qiaofu's house, burning down a hundred miles around so that not a single blade of grass could grow.

The meddlesome people also talked about the young master of the Tan family's encounter with a ghost, and everyone couldn't help linking the two ghosts together, shouting, this city is not peaceful, and I'm afraid it has attracted some evil spirit.

For a moment, the whole old city panicked.

This is a simple and simple town where the roads are never picked up and the houses are never closed at night. At night, the doors and windows of every house are closed and the lights are brightly lit. If there are children crying, some family members will not stop burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

But on the second day, before dawn, Tanxi heard the cock crowing from the people's house at the foot of the mountain. He was half asleep and half awake. Hearing footsteps in the courtyard, he hurriedly got up and looked outside.

But it was a monk, wearing blue and gray coarse linen clothes, holding a shining purple bowl in one hand, and a demon pestle in the other, hitting the ground with a rustling sound, the momentum was very compelling.
