V1.Chapter 973
After listening to the man, I said, "since it's your hand, you must have studied the murals. Let's talk about it. I just saw one of the faces is the same as yours. I don't know if it's a person?"
To me, the man said: "one of them is my face, but that person is not me, and this matter will start many years ago."
This can be a little long, but I and ghost mouse are also nothing, don't worry, while listening to the man said.
According to that man, the murals started many years ago.
At that time, he was 18 or 19 years old. Many years ago, it would have been nearly 30 years.
The man said that there were not many people in Yangjiazhuang at that time, and there were more than 100 people in total. Men were farming and women were weaving here, and they were thriving. Everyone had a good life.
Until one day, a monk came here and began to preach scriptures. As a result, the land here was deserted, and no one was raising livestock. Pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep ran everywhere. Everyone was preaching scriptures at home, and he was no exception.
Because they didn't do anything, they soon sat down and ate nothing. Everyone was just chanting scriptures. Later, some people died of starvation one after another, while some people began to eat people because they were really hungry.
In this way, people will be crazy, and no one will be a Buddhist any more.
After many people left here, the rest were old and weak women and children. He asked the monk in front of him why this was so. The monk said that their hearts were too greedy. Once they heard that they could live forever, they would do nothing.
In this way, he asked the monk if he could go back. The monk said no. after the monk left, he was left with a man who still had some strength. In order to cheer people up, he carved these murals on the wall and made them kowtow to the murals every day. Then they had to get up early and go home at sunset to have today's Yangjiazhuang.
The man then heard me yawn and said it was boring.
The man was slightly stunned for a moment, and I asked him, "since you said that all the people here are gone, how come so many people came here later? Why didn't I see one of you come in to worship Buddha?"
Listen, I asked the man, "you don't know, these years have passed. In the first three or five years, some people came here. When they came home, they said they were comfortable and didn't feel tired working in the fields. Because they were hard-working, they had a better life. Some villages around us and some people also came here. We have no other houses and rich land, All the people who came here gave them land and houses, so many people came here. Some women married here when they were adults, and some men came here when they were adults. The people here began to prosper, but after they prospered, not many people came to worship Buddha. "
That person said a burst of melancholy, I frowned: "put aside here don't say, you just say, how the face above is the same as you, I'm still more curious about that, and your house of ghosts and snakes, you know or don't know."
"Ghosts and gods?" The man's face was funny. I got up, stood up and went to the corner. There was a shadow squatting in the corner. As a result, when I passed, the shadow disappeared. It seemed that I was very scared and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
I looked back at the ghost mouse depressed, ghost mouse said: "are you painting the people inside the wall?"
The man said, "I'm not, but I carved him. It's strange. When I carved him, it was a different face. As you can see, this man had only a back face, but I don't know why. I dreamed several times that he turned from inside to see me, and he had the same face as me. He came out from inside, Replace me.
Many times I have been awakened by nightmares, but dreams are dreams after all. When I wake up, I see a back skull several times. How strange do you think it is? "
The man asked me and ghost mouse, of course I didn't take what he said seriously. I think he was lying to me.
The ghost mouse got up and looked at the mural for a while. He said, "let's not talk about the mural. Let's talk about your Yangjiazhuang."
"What's the matter with Yangjiazhuang?" The man asked me, and the ghost mouse said, "we came here to look for some people. A relative of mine came here a few days ago, but he never went back. I came to look for him, but you have seen him. I heard your servants say that the outsiders you came here have made records. Do you know if there is a relative of mine?"
"The records are long gone. I have to look for them." The man said, obviously full of holes.
"In that case, can I walk in your yard?" Ghost mouse said, the man thought: "then you go, just don't go to the ancestral hall behind me. There are my people who have been dead for many years. I don't want you to disturb them."
"We naturally know that," said the ghost mouse. After looking at me, I went out first. Then the ghost mouse came out, and the man followed.
After we came out, ghost mouse and I walked in the yard. The weather was fine. It was bright. We could see clearly in the yard, but there was something wrong in the yard. Besides, it was too clean.
After walking for a while, I was about to go to the back. The man was busy saying, "you can't go to the back. It's disturbing the ancestors."
"If we don't go, it will be. But it's really out of the way to treat our guests when we've been here for a long time, and I haven't eaten since I came to you."
When I said this, the person said, "I'll prepare some food for you."
"Then I'll go and see. Don't take the ecstasy. It's troublesome." I said I was going to follow the man, and the ghost mouse said, "nonsense."
I looked back at the ghost mouse: "you don't fool around."
Seeing that we were going to quarrel, the man said, "it's better to do this. I'll cook. When you come back, you can try it with a silver needle."
"She's just joking with you. You don't have to take it seriously." The ghost mouse explained to the man. The man gave a sound, and I got up and walked over to accompany the ghost mouse. When the man left, I turned and walked towards the backyard. When I went in, the door opened and a chill came.
At the foot of the courtyard is paved with stone. The courtyard is empty, but the pattern is strange. This courtyard is different from the ordinary courtyard. There is a pavilion in it. The pavilion is tall and big, and it says the ashes hall. Naturally, there are some ashes in it.
"Is this the octagonal building?" I asked the ghost mouse, and the ghost mouse said, "yes."
"I say it's very similar." Listen to me, the ghost mouse goes to the front. I can see clearly when I stand at the back. There is something wrong with the pattern of the yard.
"Mouse." I suddenly called out. The ghost mouse stopped and turned to look at me. I was busy looking around. At this time, I found that there were many black shadows standing on both sides of the yard. They were all puppets standing there. But there were still ghosts in the daytime.
"You don't move." I said a word in a hurry and walked towards the ghost mouse. As a result, when I got to the ghost mouse, the black shadows on both sides, as if they were ghosts who had been touched by the mechanism, began to move and came towards Ouyang Li and me. It was really strange that they were shaking around.
"What's going on?" I asked ghost mouse, ghost mouse said: "should be the souls of those who died, trapped here."
"It's not daytime. How can it move?"
"You forget, this house is the grave bag. We have come down from the grave bag. What we see here is actually a mirage. Then these ghosts are not afraid of the sunshine here. We look like sunshine, but they look like darkness here."
Ghost mouse said so, I suddenly realized, and then asked him: "will collapse?"
Ghost mouse Leng for a while, I give angry smile.
"If it's going to collapse, it's going to collapse long ago. It won't wait until we come." Ghost mouse angry and funny said.
"It doesn't have to wait for us to come before it collapses. It's just waiting for us to be buried alive." I said, a face of depression, ghost mouse said: "no, don't talk nonsense, I will send you out."
"It's nothing if I don't go out. I've thought about it. When I go out, I'll go to a deserted mountain and build a strong thatched house over there. The wind won't blow away and the rain won't get through. There's a sign to hang up a trouble office. Later, we can work there. It's no problem to earn some money and get some food to eat, It's good to grow old in this dark place. "
Give me that. The ghost mouse is completely speechless.
Half a day ghost mouse asked me: "what about your husband and son?"
"Children and grandchildren have their own happiness. I can't help my son. As for my husband, alas..." I sighed.
"What's the matter?"
"Not to mention that I can't get out, I've been out for such a long time. You can tell me that he looks so good-looking and more gorgeous than women. He probably forgot me when I went out." Listen to me say so ghost mouse says: "won't."
"How do you know you won't? You're not my husband. A man has a needle in his heart. In fact, other people can understand it." When I finished, tut tut shook his head, and the ghost mouse said, "I'm not your husband, but I'm also a man. Of course I know."
"That's not necessarily. That's what you said. I don't think it's true. People are separated from each other. Sometimes you think that way, but others are not.
You haven't been outside. Maybe you don't know that the colorful world outside can't be compared with the darkness here. "
"It's not easy for you to become husband and wife, even if there is a world of flowers outside. Why belittle yourself?"
"You really don't know that my husband is good at everything, but I'm not good at everything. He used to be a charming green lotus in the sky, but I'm a stubborn fox. The fox was born to be a cunning animal, and the green lotus is an extraordinary immortal. How can I compare it? How can I compare it?"
