Urban Tales of Demons and Spirits

But Wen Jiubai remained silent, apparently did not want to tell me. Bayi Chinese Language Network W≤WW. 81ＺW. Com

I was a little angry and stared at him and said, "Is it a huge black bug?"

Wen Jiubai frowned and looked at me, "How do you know?"

"I dreamed. Just before you awakened me, I dreamed of my dead grandfather. He said something inexplicable to me, and then ... I saw a **** bug on his back. I said, "Wen Jiubai, what exactly is that?"

Wen Jiubai and I looked at each other for a while, and finally sighed, smiling at the corners of his mouth.

"Yeah, I almost forgot your special ability, and it seems I can't hide it from you."

I folded my arms, "you know how to look."

Wen Jiubai smiled and lowered his head, seemingly wondering how to start explaining.

"Do you know '魍 魉'?"

"Well? Isn't that a charm?" I wondered.

"That's right, that's the puppet," Wen Jiubai said, "this is the name of the monster."

"But ... didn't you say‘ 魑 charm 魍 魉 ’is the name of the four little ghosts? 魍 and 魉 are a kind of monster?”

"The talk about monsters has always been said differently in history." Wen Jiubai said bluntly. "First, this four-character word originally came from" Zuo Zhuan · Xuan Gong Three Years ", and it was called '魑 charm 魍 魉, Mo Nengfeng.' However, Zuo Zhuan did not indicate what kinds of monsters Wumei is. Soon after, the word Wumei appeared in "Historical Records of the Five Emperors". The book said: 'Humei, the human face and the beast are four-legged, so confusing. 'It is very clear here that' 魑 charm 'and' 魍 魉 'are two different monsters, not the four kinds of ghosts that most people understand in a literal sense. "

I nodded with a half-knowledge.

"The first dictionary in Chinese history," The Cloud Chapter "has a separate explanation for the charm and the sorrow. It is said that the mountain **** is the charm and the water **** is the cricket. Since then, the charm has evolved into a mountain beast-shaped monster, and 魍魉 is considered to be a monster of wood and stone. "Wen Jiubai continued." Then, in the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese bird Shiyan Yan further explained the monster monster. In his picture of "A Hundred Ghosts of the Past and the Past",魍 魉 described as a monster: like a three-year-old child, with red eyes, red eyes, long ears, and moist. Good to eat the liver of the dead. "

I was more confused and couldn't help interrupting Wen Jiubai. "What are you talking about? Can't you use a clearer language?"

Wen Jiubai looked at me with amusement, "Oh, I am still a student of the Chinese Department because of a loss."

"you are annoying!"

"Simply put, a cricket is a kind of monster that feeds on the dead body. In the countryside, the mysterious events where graves are dug and the corpses disappear often are mostly good things our crickets do. Generally speaking, The rampant spleen is relatively mild and not much in number. They feed on the carcasses of humans or animals, and are relatively harmless monsters. "Wen Jiubai thought with folded arms," ​​in theory, they rarely Living people start, but there are exceptions to everything. If one person looks very delicious anyway, he will be caught early if he is not dead. "

I swallowed, "what if ..."

"It will die, of course. But before his death, his body's flesh will be eaten by the cricket, and he will die slowly under pain and unconsciousness." Wen Jiubai said calmly.

I couldn't speak for a while, and my mind immediately appeared like my grandpa died. Crazy, unconscious, and before he breathed, his body began to rot and smell bad.

Including the dream I had tonight ... Grandpa's entire legs were rotten. Is that the result of being eaten?

"So, what kind of talents will be stabbed to stare at when they are alive?" I recalled how my grandfather looked during his life, and I couldn't think of an ordinary grumpy old man who could attract such a terrible monster .

"Who knows this?" Wen Jiubai sighed, spreading his hands, "I'm not stingy, and I don't know how they choose their prey."

"This way ..." I was a little disappointed, but Wen Jiubai was right.

It seems that we can't do anything until things have progressed.

"However, this grandma did not leave after your grandfather died, but continued to hover in this home."

Wen Jiubai walked in front of me, and we walked into the hospital together, waiting in a chair outside the ward.

"Although I don't know why, this monster seems to be very interested in your family and continues to dormant here, ready to hunt new prey."

"So, why can't you just get rid of this monster?" I was anxious again. "Can't you cast a spell or something with your rune paper or spell?"

Wen Jiubai looked at me helplessly, "Are you watching too much of a TV series? If all the monsters in the world can simply remove it, the demon master will have lost his job."

I mumbled, "Now the demon master is almost unemployed ..."

Wen Jiubai raised his hand and gave me a trembling.

"It hurts!"

"Whoever made you talk nonsense should hit."

"You are, was it when I said the pain?" I stuck my tongue out.

Wen Jiubai ignored my joke, and then went on the topic just now, "I have said many times that the so-called monsters are born of human heart. So if you want to get rid of monsters, you must start with people. You ca n’t figure out why the monster is parasitic, so much effort is useless. ”

I opened my mouth and just wanted to say something. Just then the door of the ward suddenly opened. My mother and my uncle came out first, and then my cousin and second cousin arrived behind us.

Everyone's face was very ugly. Naturally, there was no need to say a few adults. Even the second cousin, who was disdainful yesterday when he played mobile phones, was pale and could not stop shaking. My cousin was even more exaggerated. As soon as he stepped out of the ward, his tears couldn't stop flowing. After seeing me and Wen Jiubai, he cried wow.

"Master! Great God! Great God! Please save grandma, she's such a good old lady, she can't just die like that!" My cousin grabbed Wen Jiubai's sleeve, snotted and cried, "My grandma, she's right I'm so good, please help her! "

I was taken aback by this sudden situation, and Wen Jiubai frowned.

"Calm down, what's wrong?" Wen Jiubai asked in a deep voice.

"Let's go in and take a look." He said a little bit unbearably, and then turned away.
