Chapter 126 Chapter 9 Paper Clothes

Yang Chishan! Looking at the old ghost who strangled my neck, the first thought that came to my mind was this name - the mysteriously missing tea king.If Yang Chishan lived to this day, he would be over 90 years old, and the old ghost also looks nearly a hundred years old. Could it be the same person?Although the old ghost was old, he was surprisingly strong. I couldn't move, and I was almost foaming at the mouth.Just as I was about to roll my eyes, the old ghost loosened his withered hands and fell to the ground. I coughed in pain, opened my eyes and looked, and Liao Laoer was holding the flashlight tightly, looking at me heavily.It turned out that this bastard was really pretending to be dead just now. When the old ghost wanted to strangle him to death, he got up secretly and knocked the old ghost unconscious with the broken flashlight.It's ironic to say that Liao Er Er slammed the old devil's head hard, and the broken flashlight turned on again.Even though this move was a bit of a loss, I didn't care about it. Anyway, Liao Er Er saved my life.

I picked up my flashlight, squeezed the mouth of the unconscious old ghost, took a look inside, and said, "Look, this old ghost has no tongue, it must have been cut off." "Damn it, I almost scared me to death just now. Fortunately, I was quick-witted and remembered that I would pretend to be dead when I met a black bear." Second Liao was still in a state of panic and didn't hear me. I raised my voice: "Hey, Liao Er Er, stop nagging, quickly find a rope and tie the old ghost up. If he wakes up, we won't be able to cure him." Liao Lao Er talked nonsense again, and went to check other sculptures, in case there were still living people pretending to be sculptures.I was worried that the old ghost would wake up at any time, so I urged Liao's second child to move quickly and not to look at other sculptures.But when we came in, we didn't expect to meet this old ghost, so no one prepared the rope.I didn't want to use my brain anymore, so I simply untied the belt and tied the old ghost's hands so that he wouldn't mess around again.

I tied up the old ghost, turned him over, and looked at his face.Liao's second son was also very surprised. This old ghost is probably a lunatic, or he is really a ghost.I brushed away the old ghost's messy long hair, thinking how could there be such a person in the cave, could it be that the Lin family has more than one secret in the tea plantation?It's a pity that the old ghost didn't have his name written on his face, and I haven't seen Yang Chishan himself. Unless my grandfather comes back to life, I won't be able to recognize the old ghost's true identity. Grandfather met Yangchishan in Fohai, he took the remnants of scriptures and ran away. Afterwards, whether Yangchishan was captured by the British or successfully escaped, his grandfather never saw it with his own eyes.I looked at the old ghost suspiciously, slumped on the ground, and even forgot the pain in my left foot.Liao Lao Er searched the stone corridor several times, but found no living person, so he sat down with me in peace.

Before his butt was hot, Liao Lao Er said to me: "There is an open door at the end of the stone corridor. I didn't dare to open it, but there seems to be no movement behind it." After listening to it, I took a flashlight to see it. That stone door was also engraved with a picture of Xuanji, which was exactly the same as the previous one. The picture of the eternal puzzle must not be as simple as a decoration.Just now, I fought with the old ghost, and my foot injury got worse. Unless I hopped on one foot, I couldn't stand up at all.Therefore, I sat helplessly on the ground, not thinking about whether there would be another door behind the stone door, or whether Lin Hongyan was sitting behind it.

At this moment, the second brother Liao asked with concern: "Xiao Lu, how is your foot, can you still walk?" I said distressedly: "Aren't you talking nonsense, if I can still go, would I still sit here stupidly?" Curious, Mr. Liao lifted up my trousers, looked at it and said seriously: "Your feet are swollen like carrots. I think you should go out first. If you delay, you may be disabled." "Are you scaring me?" I asked fearfully. Actually, I just thought about this problem. When I was injured for the first time in Wuhan, the doctor said that strenuous exercise should not be used for recovery, otherwise it will lead to disability.One year after the injury, every time I walked in a hurry, I could always hear a "creaking" sound in my left ankle.This time I was injured again, and even if I was not disabled, I would have to recuperate for several months to recover.If Lin Hongyan appeared now and told him what he knew, then I couldn't set off to find the mansion in the deep mountains immediately, unless Mu Qingxiang was willing to wait for me.

When I thought that Mu Qingxiang might go alone, and I didn't want to waste a few months waiting, I didn't want to continue thinking about it.Second Liao didn't know what was going on in my mind. He sat for a while and saw that I had stopped talking, so he went to touch the old ghost's clothes, probably looking for something valuable.I also wanted to find out the real identity of the old ghost as soon as possible to prove whether he was Yang Chishan, so I focused on every move of Liao's second child. However, as soon as Liao Laoer touched the old ghost's clothes, he immediately withdrew his hands back with a livid face.

"What's wrong?" I asked hurriedly. "This old ghost's clothes are a bit weird, he is not made of cloth, it seems to be made of paper!" Liao Lao Er said in amazement. During the fight just now, I was so focused on saving my life that I didn't notice that there was something wrong with the old ghost's clothes.I thought to myself that the old ghost is really a ghost. People in the world are clothed in silk and satin, and only when they pay homage to their ancestors will they burn some paper clothes and paper figurines.That old ghost didn't look like a human being. I wasn't surprised when Liao Lao Er said that those clothes were made of paper.It's just that old ghosts have entities, which is not something ordinary ghosts can do.In order to confirm, I moved forward half a meter, and touched the old ghost's clothes nervously. It was indeed made of paper.

"Damn it, it's really a ghost!" Liao Er Er said in horror. "Is it really a ghost? But he really has a body. Have you seen that ghost with a body?" I hesitated. Liao Laoer snorted coldly. He thought that since he was a ghost, there was no need to show mercy.There are laws in the world that prohibit killing people, but there is no law that prohibits killing ghosts.This place is so remote, even if someone is really killed, no one will find out.Liao Lao Er was whimsical and was about to cut off the old ghost's head, so I told him to stop. "Don't be so impulsive, when he wakes up, I still have something to ask him!" I said seriously.

"He doesn't have a tongue. If you ask him, can he answer it?" Liao Laoer laughed. "I can't answer, but I can always write it?" I insisted on letting Liao's second child sit down, not wanting to kill anyone anymore. The identity of the old ghost is a mystery. Even if he wakes up, he probably won't be able to answer my question.During the fight, I noticed that the old ghost had mental problems, he was definitely a lunatic.The paper clothes worn by the old ghost are very rare, not the kind of book paper, but a very special rough paper.I have never seen this kind of paper clothes, but when I was studying in university, I heard a university teacher mention that paper clothes appeared in Tang and Song Dynasties, and they were worn by living people, not the patent of dead people.

Paper began to be used to make clothing during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. According to literature records and archaeological excavations, there were paper shoes in Xiliang, and paper tents in the Northern Wei Dynasty.The appearance of paper clothes first appeared in the Tang Dynasty.At that time, it was less than a year since the end of the Anshi Rebellion. After seven years of ravages, the economy of the Central Plains had been broken. At that time, the people who had no food or clothing had to use paper as clothing.There are also some officials who fled during the war and were displaced. They will also make this "bad policy". There is a record in the "Old Tang Book": "When Zhiguang died, loyal officials marched and plundered. During the two hundred miles from Chishui to Tongguan, the livestock and property were exhausted, and the officials even wore paper clothes or did not eat for several days."

During the war period at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the situation of poor people's clothes was even more common, and people's clothes were completely an expedient measure when there was no cloth to wear.In the Taiping years, there are few records about poor people's clothes, and the details are unknown, but monks and hermits at that time had the habit of wearing paper clothes.Some monks wear paper clothes instead of silk, because silk comes from silkworm cocoons, and reeling must kill living creatures, so they don't wear "silkworm clothes" to show their sincerity and compassion in cultivating Taoism. Now that it is not the time of war, it is not difficult to wear a few clothes. Taoist Wangqiao has been hiding in the mountains for dozens of years, and he can wear coarse cloth robes.Liao and I guessed that the old ghost might be a monk who inherited the habit of wearing paper clothes and refrained from killing living beings.The old ghost wanted to kill us just now, so it can be seen that he has gone crazy and doesn't realize what he is doing.Taoist Wangqiao sat down here, if the old ghost had already been entrenched in the cave, they should have met face to face. "Then you are saying that brother Wang Qiao cut off the old ghost's tongue? How is this possible!" Second Liao didn't believe it. "I didn't say that Taoist Wangqiao cut off the old ghost's tongue, but that they might know each other." I explained, "If that's the case, then the old ghost is not Yangchishan, because Yangchishan didn't become a monk, let alone wear paper clothes. He is so vicious, he will never feel sorry for the lives of a few silkworms." "This is the territory of the Lin family, as long as you find Lin Hongyan and ask him clearly?" Liao's second son said to me, "But that bastard will definitely deny it and lie to us that he doesn't know this old devil." "At that time, I can't help it." After I finished speaking, I tried to stand up, but my left foot still hurt. When Liao Er saw this, he told me to rest and wait until the pain was less severe before leaving, otherwise he wouldn't be able to carry me and the old ghost on his back.I also feel a headache. Now I can't leave the old ghost here. If he runs away, it will be even more difficult to find him.Liao Laoer thought of a way. He first dragged the old ghost back and tied him to the stone cave where Taoist Wangqiao sits.There were many stone pillars there, and the second Liao took off his clothes, and with great effort, tied the old ghost with his hands bound to a stalagmite. I didn't see how Liao Laoer tied people up. After he dragged the old ghost back, I sat alone in the stone corridor.Immediately, I had a very strange feeling that there was a hole in the sky behind the second stone gate.I struggled to stand up, but my left foot hurt as soon as I stood up, so I had no choice but to hop forward on one foot.I supported the sculpture next to me and jumped forward slowly. When I passed the rotting corpses discarded in the stone corridor, I couldn't help vomiting. Those two corpses were highly decomposed and bloated so exaggeratedly that I vomited up everything I ate the day before yesterday.I was curious, where did the Lin family find these messy things, maybe they are related to cults.I turned my head away, stopped looking at the two carrion corpses, continued to jump a few steps forward, and finally came to the second stone gate.I just wanted to push it away, but I was worried that there was another stone door behind the stone door, which must be very disappointing.But there is always an end after Shimen, and it will not always be Shimen, so I took a breath and pushed the heavy Shimen hard. After the second stone door, there is no third stone door, but it makes me puzzled. There is a very scary photo of paper clothing, but it is not suitable to be scary, so I found a picture in the news. This photo is 2009 China International Energy Conservation, Emission Reduction and New Energy Technology Expo in Beijing Exhibition Hall. The exhibitor introduced a used The ball of Hanfu woven by newspaper is not wool, but paper thread Although it's not a real paper dress, it's similar to a paper dress. I'll post it here for everyone to feel intuitively. And, that man isn't me... Sorry, brother Yang Chishan! Looking at the old ghost who strangled my neck, the first thought that came to my mind was this name - the mysteriously missing tea king.If Yang Chishan lived to this day, he would be over 90 years old, and the old ghost also looks nearly a hundred years old.
