Part 1: Ancient Crescent Jade, Bewitched by Evil 8
[69 Book Bar - www.] Before the goddess could speak, she heard angry shouts coming from the mountain road, "No one is allowed to dig graves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a white-haired old man emerged from the woods. He was sitting on a sliding pole, and two young men carried him toward us. (Sliding pole: a means of transportation similar to a sedan in Sichuan in the past.
Mainly used in steep mountain roads, two strong bamboo poles are used as supports, and a bamboo chair is made in the middle to sit on people, and then two people carry them one after the other to walk on the mountain roads. This kind of sliding pole is very popular in modern times.
You can still see it in tourist attractions in Sichuan.)
The white-haired old man is the mayor of this town. His name is Yang Bailao. I seem to have read this name in some book. Because he has white hair, people jokingly call him "Yang Baimao".
Yang Baimao tremblingly came down from the sliding pole, followed by a large group of people watching the excitement. Countless torches illuminated the entire hill as if it were daytime. I thought with some dejection that these people usually would not dare to come to this ghostly hill.
What? Why are everyone here today? It seems that everyone is curious, but this curiosity is not put into action. It seems that I am the first person in this town who dares to eat crabs. What a pity!
But got caught in the mouth by a crab.
Yang Baimao leaned on the ground with his crutch and said: "No grave digging!"
The father stepped forward and said: "Mayor, my son has been possessed by an evil spirit and is in danger. The goddess is preparing to perform a ritual. If we don't dig this grave, my son's life will not be saved!"
Yang Baimao attended a private school in his early years. With some ink in his belly, he spoke in an old-fashioned way, "Comrade Xiao Chen, ah, what age are we in? We should believe in science, ah, don't be superstitious anymore.
Blinded by this, ah, Chairman Mao said it well, ah, we must arm ourselves with science, ah, if we fall behind, we will be beaten, ah, if the younger generation is like you, maybe one day the Japanese plane will fly again
It's coming, ah, do you think I'm right?"
Every sentence of this old guy is followed by the interjection "Ah", which makes people's skin crawl.
Dad was about to say anything, but the goddess took a step forward and said: "Mayor, let me tell you the truth, there is something weird in this tomb. If it is not removed, there will be endless troubles!"
Yang Baimao rubbed his nose and said, "Goddess, I know you have some moral principles, but what era is it now? It's reform and opening up, and feudal superstition is being eradicated. Do you want to go against the government? Do you want to go against the Party Central Committee?"
The Goddess said: "Whatever you say, my Goddess always walks alone. If you say no, I will immediately turn around and leave. If anything strange happens in the town in the future, don't blame me for not warning you!"
Then, the goddess packed her things and turned around to leave.
