Strange Tales: The Yin-Yang Celestial Master

In the pitch-black space, a few spots of light suddenly lit up, and it was unclear what the light was coming from, flickering like will-o'-the-wisps.Four gloomy white faces were slowly reflected in the dim light, and suddenly, one of the faces began to speak——

"Once upon a time, there was a woman, because her family was poor, she was sold to a fireworks building for training since she was a child, and became a maiko there when she grew up. This woman is very beautiful, and with her superb dancing skills, she is very popular in the building. Being popular can be regarded as a red card. But she is unwilling to stay in that kind of place for the rest of her life, so she has been secretly saving money, hiding the expenses given by the bustard and the tips from the guests, and is going to redeem herself when she saves enough money. Then take the extra money to find a serious job and live the life of ordinary people.

Just when her dream was about to come true, she fell in love with a man.That man was young and polite, treated her very well, and didn't dislike her background, so the two made a lifetime promise to each other without telling the old bustard.She guarded her little secret with joy in her heart, she was almost there, she was just a little bit close to saving enough money to redeem herself, and then marry her lover, she wanted to give him a surprise.

At this time, the man suddenly said that his old mother was seriously ill and needed money for medical treatment, otherwise her life would be in danger.The woman couldn't bear to make her lover sad, so she took out all the silver and jewelry she had saved over the years and gave them all to him.The man was very happy, and promised to come pick her up when his mother was cured, try to find a way to redeem her, and then marry her in the door openly.The woman who was dazzled by love believed his words and waited day and night, but the man never came back.Her joy faded away in the long wait, leaving only endless despair.

She was getting thinner and thinner, which delayed the flower building's business. The old man asked her to find out the reason. After asking someone to inquire, he found out that the man was already married, and there was a two-year-old child at home, and he had nothing at all. Sick old mother, his mother died long ago.He is a gambler and owes a lot of debts, and he can't pay back the money. Probably when he heard a woman accidentally say that he had hidden private money, he used his brains and made up an excuse. Deceived money from the hands of a defensive lover.

The old bustard told her the truth in order to kill her, so that she could stay in the building and continue to be a cash cow in the future.But I didn't expect that this woman is a strong-tempered woman. Knowing that she was cheated out of her heart and her ransom money, she had no hope from now on. She was sad and angry, and in despair, she used scissors to smear her beautiful face that night. , and then slit his neck and committed suicide. "

"That, that must be scary." Listening to the story, one of them said anxiously, trembling his lips.

"Of course it's terrible. The neck was cut open, blood sprayed everywhere, and the whole room was stained red. And she hurt her face, half of her face was covered in blood, and the flesh was exposed..." The storyteller The woman's face was blue and gray, and her eyes slowly widened, "Just like this!" She suddenly lifted her long hair covering her right face, revealing a hideous scar.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Suddenly, the two people opposite her hugged each other in fright and cried: "Don't say it anymore! It's so scary!"

"Hey, who told you to play this." The woman just let down her hair and smiled triumphantly, despising the two trembling ones: "You are ghosts yourself, what are you afraid of!"

"It's really scary..." the thief said aggrieved.

It turned out that these ghosts were too bored to stay in the talisman every day, so they began to find ways to have fun. Today's theme was actually telling ghost stories.

"Hey, Sister Yanhua, you haven't finished talking yet. What happened next? What happened after that?" Little Lingdang, who had been terrified before, couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked again.

"Later, after she died, she became a resentful soul because she couldn't let go of her hatred for that man, and hated all the men in the world. But she is a ghost, and she can't do any real harm to the living people in the world. You can only scare them. If you meet a man who can see ghosts, you will be scared to death.

As a result, she bumped into a man once, and that person turned out to be a celestial master. She couldn't beat her, but she was suppressed by force and sealed in a book. The celestial master took the book home and put it in the library, and she was in the dark. place for many years.She didn't know how long it had passed, she thought, the celestial master probably forgot about her, maybe that person is dead, after all, he is a mortal with a limited lifespan, so no one will know that she is here, it seems I can't get out.

Until a long time later, someone finally opened the book and she was able to see the light again.It was a young woman who found her. She was in poor health and had no magic power, so there was no way to let her out, but they could talk to each other.She learned that the celestial master who sealed her had passed away, and the descendant of that person who lives here now, and this woman is the married daughter-in-law, named Su Wan.Su Wan could see her, and she could touch each other, so they quickly became good friends. Su Wan was weak and rarely went out, and came to chat with her every day.

Soon after, Su Wan happily came to tell the female ghost that she was pregnant.She was pregnant for the first time, and the female ghost died before she got married, so this unborn child immediately became their treasure.Su Wan would bring a needle and thread to the library every afternoon, and sit down to make small clothes for the child, while the female ghost would talk to her next to her.Just like this, the two of them watched Su Wan's belly grow day by day with great anticipation. It will be eight months soon, and the child will be born in less than two months.

'Hopefully a beautiful and healthy baby will be born. ' Su Wan touched her stomach tenderly, and said with longing.

Suddenly one day, she stopped coming, the female ghost thought, maybe she was about to give birth, and it was not convenient to come here, and she would definitely bring the baby to see her when the baby was born.But this wait has passed for several years.Until the next time, when the book that sealed her was opened again, what appeared in front of her eyes was not Su Wan, but a five or six-year-old boy - his fair skin showed that he seldom spends a lot of time in the sun, and his body was thin and round. The round face has a pointed chin, and a pair of big amber eyes are blinking.

It really looks like Su Wan, the female ghost thought.

'There is Yan Ruyu in the book...it turns out what Uncle Qi said is true!There are really beautiful aunts in the book! The little boy murmured something, and smiled shyly at her: "Hello, pretty auntie, my name is Qi Buyang, did I bother you to rest?" '

Qi Buyang.It was the name chosen by Su Wan's father-in-law, and she once laughed at this weird name.

'What about Su Wan? '

The child looks puzzled.

'It's your mother, where is she? '

Speaking of the boy's sad face, 'Grandpa said that my mother died while giving birth to me. '

The female ghost shook her head lightly, she had already guessed most of the result, Su Wan's health is too poor, giving birth to a child is very dangerous.

'Little thing, you will call me aunt from now on. '

'Auntie. ' The boy repeated obediently, 'Can I come and play with you tomorrow?There is no one at home to play with me. '

'Okay, I'm lonely too, so come and stay with me often. The female ghost stretched out her hand and touched his head, her fingers passed through the soft hair, and there was still a long-lost temperature.She was very relieved and couldn't help smiling. Su Wan's wish came true and she gave birth to a beautiful child.

Later, the child learned the spell to break the seal, and released her, and has been with the boy ever since as his little devil.

Well the story is over. "

After the fireworks female ghost finished the long ghost story, she raised her head and stretched her waist. There was an open wound on her neck, and the broken blood vessel could still be vaguely seen inside.

The thief ghost was taken aback when he heard it, and it took him a long time to think of it and asked: "Could it be...you are telling your own story?"

The female ghost rolled her eyes and ignored him.

"Oh, you are so stupid! Did you just think of it now?" Little Bell patted her chest proudly, "I knew it from the beginning~"

"Who will speak next?" The female ghost looked around.

At this time, the sloppy uncle who had been sitting next to her without speaking said, "I'll do it." His face was flushed, as if he had drunk a lot of wine, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked very listless.

"Uncle Drunkard, can you really tell ghost stories?" Little Bell expressed doubts.

"I'm a ghost myself, how could I not say it?"

"But you perfunctory us every time!"

"It won't happen this time." The drunkard reassured.

"Okay, let's talk about it."

The alcoholic moved his butt lazily, and began to say: "Once upon a time, there was a man who was an alcoholic..."

"Here it comes again!" The female fireworks ghost interrupted him, "You were talking about drunkards last time, are you going to die from drinking poisoning again this time?"

"No, no, it's a completely different story this time, you'll know after listening."

Both the female ghost and the little bell stared at him suspiciously, only the thief ghost was looking forward to the next story.

"The alcoholic's family was very poor, and he loved to drink. In the end, he drank all the money in the family. His wife couldn't take it anymore, so she took the child and left him. His wife and children were separated, and the alcoholic was hit hard. He ran to He drank too much wine at the wine stand and soon became drunk. The owner of the wine stand feared that he would not be able to pay for the wine, so he found the last change on him and kicked him out.

The drunkard was staggering down the street. It was late at that time and there was no one on the street. He suddenly saw someone on the other side of the canal selling steamed sugar cakes with lanterns.It was his wife's favorite food, so he wanted to buy some to take home, maybe his wife would be happy.The drunkard was so drunk that he completely forgot that his wife had left him a long time ago. He happily walked towards the river without paying attention to where he was stepping. As a result, he accidentally fell into the river and drowned. "

"What kind of ghost story is this? Where are ghosts?"

"I haven't finished yet. People found his body in the river the next day. It seemed that he wanted to go to the other bank before stepping on it and fell. But the other bank is the outskirts of the city. There is nothing but weeds. Everyone I don’t know why he went there at night.”

"Where's that steamed cake stand?" Little Lingdang couldn't help asking, and the thief ghost nodded accordingly, he also wanted to know.

"There is no steamed sugar cake stall at all, and steamed sugar cakes have never been sold there."

As soon as these words came out, the two little devils immediately gasped and felt a chill run down their spines.

"Don't listen to him scaring you, it's just a drunkard hallucinating." The firework female ghost folded her hands and said disdainfully: "This is not a ghost at all, where is the ghost? Where is it?"

"It's right here~" The drunkard pointed to himself, and said as a matter of course: "After that drunkard drowned, he became a real drunkard."

"..." The other ghosts didn't want to talk to him anymore.

"Hey, don't you believe me! What I said this time is true!" The drunkard uncle hurriedly added: "After I died, I still couldn't forget the wine. I often wandered around the brewery, but I was unlucky enough to see ghosts. They invited a mage to come and sealed me in a wine jar. Later, I didn’t know what happened, the jar that sealed me was transferred to Qi’s house, and was released by Qi Buyang unintentionally, so I agreed to be his subordinate .”

The female ghost said disgustedly: "What kind of subordinate are you? You are only sleeping or drunk!"

The uncle spread his hands and said: "It's none of my business, he didn't call me. If Qi Buyang is alive, I will definitely help him with his affairs."

"Humph!"

"Since everyone is telling their own stories, let me tell mine too." Little Bell stood up enthusiastically.

"Wait a minute!" The thief ghost objected, "Isn't today's theme about ghost stories? How can you talk about yourself?"

"We are all ghosts, isn't it just a ghost story to talk about ourselves!"

"..."
