Qingye Supernatural Office

"There were too many people watching the fun that day, so they didn't pay attention. Many people surrounded them all at once. It was supposed to be good, but the expert built a Buddhist altar. It is said that there was a bronze tripod. He also killed pigs and sheep to worship, burned The incense was so thick that many people couldn’t open their eyes due to the smoke. He kept jumping, walking around, and chanting scriptures. What. Suddenly, everyone saw the hanged ghost appearing on the tree in front. The hanged ghost was covered with knife wounds, not bleeding, but it was said that it was black, and there was thick water coming out. It looked very scary. We in Huixiang are very courageous, we yelled twice, and then continued to watch. The expert stabbed at the hanged ghost with something, and the hanged ghost seemed to come back to life, and began to struggle, but after a few strokes, he didn’t move. It's dead, dead."

The security guard sighed, "This matter was supposed to be over. But who would have thought that the tall man looked at it with yin and yang eyes, good guy, there are many hanged ghosts hanging on the surrounding trees, and there are other little ghosts hiding. He is jealous, so he immediately copied it." The guy was going to take all these ghosts. At that time, there was a black wind blowing in the park. The people who watched the excitement felt that something was wrong and were about to run away. I don’t know how many ghosts that expert took in, but the other ghosts suddenly screamed together , many people were called out and fainted, fell to the ground and twitched. They were lucky and escaped unharmed. Others who were awake were unlucky. They saw a black shadow descending from the sky and drilled into the Inside the body of the murderer. The murderer had lowered his head to chant scriptures, but he didn't dare to lift his head. When the ghost took over his body, he jumped up, became mad, grabbed the tall man, and broke his neck. Other Ghostly laughing and making trouble, I watched the murderer kill everyone on sight. Many people didn’t escape, and when he caught him, they just twisted their necks. Some people resisted, but the murderer didn’t seem to feel any pain. , nothing changed."

Lu Qiaolan's interest faded.

I also heard that this story is too much bragging.

The security guard didn't realize it, and continued: "Dozens of people died that time, and it was finally classified as a fight, and it was dismissed. But everyone here knows that many people hold funerals in their homes, and they all cry a lot. "

"So you are afraid that outsiders will come?" I interrupted the security guard.

The biggest feeling this story gave me was to explore the origin of Huixiang people's attitude towards foreigners.

I remember seeing somewhere before that folklore and those folk customs reflect social conditions, and what the stories contain are people's ideas.

People in Huixiang are afraid of outsiders. It may be that outsiders came here, which caused some casualties.

This is not surprising, and it makes sense.

There are quite a few fugitives fleeing here in Hui Township, and it is self-evident how many hidden dangers and crises they have brought to the local public security.It would be strange for people here to welcome foreigners.

Even if they did not come here to beg for food, some locals would hate that foreigners come to their hometown to take away their job opportunities, destroy their hometown environment, and bring all kinds of inconvenience to themselves.

People always see the bad side first, and tend to forget the benefits they get.

This is understandable.

But if the thoughts of Huixiang people lead to frequent supernatural events here, and they all target outsiders, it will bring me too much trouble.Chen Xiaoqiu and the others will be even more dangerous.

The security guard didn't understand my question for a while, and his train of thought was not on the same channel as mine.

After thinking for a while, the security guard replied hesitantly: "It's about the same. Outsiders, there are always some troubles. You outsiders are either here to find trouble, or you are not used to the atmosphere here. I’ve never seen a ghost, but I was so scared when I came here, and seeing us is like seeing a lunatic.”

When the security guard said this, he also showed a bit of resentment and helplessness.

We talked as we walked.

The security guard didn't feel thirsty after telling stories for so long.

I asked him about ghosts hitting the wall and killing animals without killing them. He didn't have any new stories to tell in this regard.It seems that this is the common sense of Huixiang people, and there is nothing to say.

I suspect that this may be the result of a combination of their self-preservation and their aversion to outsiders.If the ghosts they encounter only attack outsiders, of course they don't have to worry about their own safety, and they can enjoy the benefits brought about by this matter calmly.

The annoying outsiders died and disappeared, and it has nothing to do with them. They don't have to be punished by the law and tortured by their conscience.After all, ghosts are beyond the control of people. If ghosts kill people, they can't blame people.

In another situation, I might be amazed at the strange customs here in Huixiang.But now that Chen Yihan and Chen Xiaoqiu are alive or dead, I really can't be happy about the situation in Huixiang.

The security guard took us to the chess and card room he said.

The chess and card rooms in all places are probably similar, full of smoky atmosphere and extremely lively.

The security guard was familiar with the way, so he asked someone for his name. After the other party reported the table number, he took us around the chess and card room with ease.

Soon, the security guard waved hello.

On a mahjong table in front, a young man with a cropped head and a cigarette dangling from his mouth raised his hand, then immediately lowered his head and focused on the table.

Helpless, the security guard walked over to pat him, and then pointed to me and Lu Qiaolan.

The young man hesitated and lingered at the poker table.

The chess and card room is very noisy, and the mahjong machine shuffles the cards from time to time, and I didn't hear what the security guard said.It is even more impossible to squeeze two big men into this narrow place.

But I saw that the expression of the young man changed, he was worried, and he looked at me cautiously.

I guess the security guard told me about the female ghost I caught just now.

The young man shouted loudly, greeted the other three, and picked up the change he had put on the table.

Soon a person squeezed over, and after negotiating with the young man, he sat in the seat in front of the young man.He looked at the cards and said something to the young man dissatisfied.The young man stuffed him with some money, and he smiled.

Security guards and young people squeezed out.

We didn't stay in the chess and card room for a long time. After we filed out of the chess and card room, the security guard gave us an introduction.

The security guard called the young man "Xiangzi", and Xiangzi was always sneaking eyes at me and Lu Qiaolan, and when I asked to meet his relative who owned a canteen, Xiangzi immediately agreed.

I asked Xiangzi to tell the ghost story again, Xiangzi didn't refuse, and told the story obediently, the content was similar to what the security guard said.

Young people are mostly curious and flamboyant.Xiangzi looks less than 20 years old. He is tall and muscular, so he is unexpectedly honest.

I think that's honestly weird.

"What do you always watch us do?" I asked directly, "Have you heard any ghost stories about outsiders?"
