Chapter 5 The Secret Chapter 49 The truth gradually emerges (Part 1)
Seeing that the village chief was still concerned, Wanli talked about Abaiyajin's appearance characteristics and behavior in detail, including the strangely serpentine ornament made of red coral and white beads hanging around her neck. Because he said it too in detail, the village chief believed it completely.
"I respect your religious beliefs very much, but there is a problem - I heard that people who raise Gu should repay Gu in a certain way. The more evil the Gu requires, the more people will be required. If the so-called bad guys die one day, the Gu people will have to kill innocent people to worship Gu in order to prevent the backlash of Gu. Isn't this the medicine ghost you just mentioned? Isn't it the people here who have been harmed? "Wang Li guessed based on the village chief's face, but he didn't expect that the village chief really nodded. He was really hurt by Gu poison.
"It is normal to be afraid of revenge, but if this murderer gets away with it, it may cause even more terrible consequences in the future, and we will protect the village." Wan Li said sincerely, "My friend is actually a very capable mage. He can definitely ensure that the people in the village are not harmed, as long as you help, please believe us."
The village chief was silent, and could see that he was struggling inside. He wanted to protect the village, but he was afraid of causing his family to be poisoned by witchcraft. The dilemma made it difficult for him to make a choice.
Wanli understood the village chief's mentality, so he did not urge him, but just waited quietly. After a while, Ruan Zhan, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I think, Abaiya forbidden dreams and shows Xiaoxia, probably because he wanted us to let us besides the person who was sucking the gu behind him. After all, only the gods of all things have the right to decide the life and death of people, and no one can make a decision on behalf of the gods. Because she has gone to the immortals, she is inconvenient to do it herself, so she wants our descendants to solve this problem."
He knew that the people in the village were very pious to their gods, and they also worshiped and believed in Abaiyajin, and even blindly followed him, so he persuaded the village chief in this regard.
Moreover, he himself believed that Abaiyajin wanted to tell future people something, otherwise he would not have hallucinations repeatedly. He had checked this bamboo building, and there was no spirit or evil spirit, nor was it the place where the villagers called the connecting Yin and Yang, but the legend made it mysterious. As for the hallucination, there was no malice. It must have been the thoughts left by Abaiyajin who foresaw some things and used witchcraft they did not understand, just like a video recorder, and that wedding dress was the switch of the video recorder.
It is said that a wizard with witch power can predict the future. Ah Bai was a famous Yabin back then. There was nothing new about being able to predict the future. Some things may even happen under her nose. She was powerless to change, so she came to seek help from future generations.
His words really had an effect on the village chief. The old man hesitated for a moment. Looking at the sincere faces of the two, he finally decided to tell these two outsiders what he knew.
"In our area, Abaiyajin is the most respected. Anyone in the village will find her if they have anything to do. She is not like other Taoist and righteous people with high magic powers. She will charge high fees, nor is she as inaccessible as the witch who blesses one side. Her power is unparalleled, but she never charges a penny from the villagers. Her life is very simple. The bamboo building and daily daily consumption are voluntarily offered by the villagers. Because she has high magic power and kind heart, when it is so great outside the mountain, several small villages near us are still peaceful and peaceful, everyone says that it is because she guards this place. Almost everyone here takes
She believed like all things, but shortly after liberation, she suddenly disappeared, and she could not see anyone but die, and even if she died, she was punished for revealing too many secrets and protecting too many people. Some people said she was punished for becoming a god, but no one had seen her again. After her, we have never produced Yabin with such high magic power and such kindness." The village chief sighed, "Actually, I am only sixty years old this year, and I have almost no impression of this amazing Yabin. However, my father was also the village chief before, so I have heard of too many things about Abaiyabin, and the elderly who are still alive in the village know about it."
"Is she married?" Wanli asked.
"It is said that her ability is born, that is, it is taught by heaven, so she cannot marry secular men. However--" the village chief hesitated for a moment, "I heard from the older generation that some people saw men appearing in her bamboo building at night. Because she is also a Lisu tribe, some people say that she also regards medicine ghosts as her husband. But when she was still here, no one was killed, so it should not be medicine ghosts."
"So has she accepted an apprentice?" Ruan Zhan asked another question.
They mainly wanted to inquire about the situation of Abai's lover Sima Nan and the groom back then, because various clues showed that these two people were quite close to the whole thing. They originally wanted to lay the groundwork and then inquire about the situation of the groom, but they didn't expect that the village chief's face changed when he mentioned the word "apprentice".
The two looked at each other and immediately concentrated. Could it be that the root of all the problems lies with Abaiyajin's apprentice?
"Village Chief, if it is an important situation, please tell us." Wanli quickly and earnestly said, "Maybe this is the key to solving the problem. If you have any concerns, we can set up a barrier to prevent anyone from outside from knowing what we are talking today."
The village chief smiled bitterly and shook his head, "People are doing it, God is watching, I can't hide it from others. I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid of dragging down my family and the village. But - forget it, since Abaiyajin has a dream, he will definitely bless us!"
The village chief sighed again, put on a cigarette pipe, and took a deep breath, "The two apprentices Abaiyajin were a little older than me. One of them was my distant cousin, and the other was the official man of the bride who jumped into the river in Jincun. My cousin was Awu, and the groom's family was from our village, and his name was Huang Shitou, but we called him A Ya, because he didn't speak when he was a child, and the people in the village thought he was a mute."
Ruan Zhan and Wan Li didn't say anything because they were shocked by this fact. Unexpectedly, the strange man from the jungle Awu was actually the village chief's cousin, and even more unexpectedly, the groom was actually Abaiyajin's apprentice.
Actually, it makes sense to think about it. Since they suspected that the groom was behind the scenes and that his ability was so high that he was almost a genius who could easily spread animals and plants, he could be sure that he must have a certain ability and learn from a master. Who in this mountain forest has more magical power and magic power than a legendary Yazheng who is almost regarded as a god?!
"You people outside the mountain do not understand that children with divine power will be regarded as sons of gods. It is not common for us. Both men and women, they will live for a long time and bless this forest. It is said that it will take hundreds of years to produce such a capable man." The village chief exhaled a sip of smoke and immersed in his memories. "I heard from my father that Abaiyajin was proven to have divine power at that time. The people in the whole mountain were very happy, because it was our great luck that people with divine power appeared in our generation. Everyone originally thought that after Abaiyajin, a new son of gods would appear hundreds of years later. Unexpectedly, a new son of gods would appear twenty years later, and there were two, namely my cousin Awu and Aya."
"How to prove this divine power of heaven?" Ruan Zhan asked.
"Some people are born when the Son of God is born, the Taoist and righteous woman with high witchcraft will be omens, knowing which family has a son of God is born; some sons of God are discovered after they grow up. They can subdue ordinary ghosts without learning and control the primary Gu. They will be determined by the recognized Yaqian, the highest witch power. The specific methods we mortals do not know."
"Why is it similar to some Tibetan customs?" Wanli murmured in a low voice and listened to the village chief continue.
"My cousin Awu and Aya were both discovered to have divine power when they were five years old. The one who confirmed that they were the sons of gods was Abaiyajin. It goes without saying how proud and happy my family was because of the cousin. Aya's family was even more proud. You should know that his family has always been looked down upon by the tribe. In fact, the people in the village are not bad and will not easily exclude others, especially those of the same tribe. However, Aya's father is a famous villain here. He is lazy and chaotic. He was so angry that his parents did not grow up. Later, he ran to Myanmar to cause trouble, but was almost killed by the local natives to sacrifice to the gods. Although he ran back, he
But he was disabled and could no longer harm the village, but he had no support. He lived by giving some things to the villagers who had been bullied by him. Later, he picked up a crazy woman as his wife from somewhere, and then gave birth to A Ya. This child was pitiful, with such a father and mother, but he didn't talk to anyone at all. His eyes were so gloomy that no one dared to approach him. The ignorant children and unkind adults sometimes bullied him, and he wouldn't resist. If someone hadn't seen him talking to the dogs in the village later, the people in the village would have always thought he was a mute."
"Talking to animals?" Ruan Zhan asked again. After getting the village chief's confirmation, he understood why the people behind the scenes could easily control animals and plants with Gu. It turned out that he was born with such amazing ability.
This reminded him of his childhood. When he was discovered to have natural yin and yang eyes, able to see ghosts and play with ghosts, he was immediately isolated as a monster. At the age of four or five, he had to face the suspicion, malice and rejection of this world alone. It seemed that everyone was disgusted, afraid and indifferent to him. The feeling of loneliness and fear in his bones could not be expressed in words.
For a moment, he understood A Ya's state of mind and felt a little sympathetic to him.
"So, when Ah Ya was considered the Son of God, there is no need to say that his family's pride was. The people in the village also became kind to them because they were the Son of God's parents, and his father actually started to learn well." The village chief sighed, "It was originally very good, but - alas, you know that Ya Jin was originally called the Forbidden Woman, which means that Ya Jin was all women. Only women can pass on the divine power of heaven to the next generation, and men cannot, so Ah Ya could marry and have children. It was during the Cultural Revolution that the four old things were to be destroyed, and all the righteous and righteous women had to go home to farm, but in the eyes of us villagers, their status was still very high. Perhaps it was because of this, when Ah Ya took a fancy to the Miao girl in Jin Village, the Miao girl's parents agreed happily, regardless of whether the girl was willing or not. As a result - alas!"
"But although this matter is very miserable, what can't be said?" Wanli gradually introduced the topic. "When we asked in the village, the elderly in the village refused to say it. They seemed to be very scared. Did something happen later?"
"That's because of A Ya's this - this -" the village chief stuttered for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable word to describe this man who was afraid to mention in the old man in the whole village. "He used vicious methods to retaliate against the people involved in this matter."
"What's going on?" Ruan Zhan frowned, knowing that the village chief was about to talk about the incident center.
The village chief swallowed, obviously a little scared, "Have you ever inquired about the bride's house?" he asked.
"I asked." Ruan Zhan answered honestly.
“How to say it?”
"It is said that the bride's parents died one after another, and the cause of death is unknown."
"Oh, I still say that."
"This is not the case, isn't it?" Wanli asked.
The consciousness of Gu poison and witchcraft is prevalent in this area. Ordinary villagers are already very awe of people who can use Gu poison and Taoist Taoist priests who are like witch power. They are even more admiring and afraid of a son of god like A Ya. In the eyes of local people, there will be the most powerful wizard in a place. He will bless the safety of one side, but angering him, it will be detrimental to the entire area, causing disasters or plagues. If A Ya does something out of anger and humiliation, it is inevitable that everyone will work together to hide the result, so as not to anger him and make more intense revenge on the village.
A person who was insulted and coldly treated since childhood suddenly became a son of god respected and feared by everyone one day. Unless he has a strong psychological quality, he will develop a arrogant and unoffensive personality. Huang Shitou, that is, A Ya, is obviously more paranoid, because these changes were completed when he was a child. At that time, his mind was not mature, and his parents were one of them were one crazy. From a psychological point of view, his personality changes would be more drastic.
Therefore, when his love and marriage were frustrated, the possibility of him being furious because of shame and anger was too high, which was almost inevitable!
"It was actually his parents who died first." The village chief shook his head, still feeling scared. "Three days later, his parents died. When he died, he smiled. He seemed to see something he wanted most, but his body was stiff like wood. His hands kept holding upward until death. Everyone knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to say it. But they didn't expect that he was so scary that even his parents would vent their anger. He was afraid of people in those days, and went back to his childhood, without saying anything. As long as someone passed by him, he would make people feel angry. We were all very careful and didn't know what he was going to do. We only saw him wandering around the mountains and fields every day until one night ten days later. That night, more than 20 people were missing in Naman Village and Najin Village, all of whom were related to this wedding, including the bride's parents, and the educated youth were not listed because they returned to the city."
