The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 393
"The dead man who turned into a ghost, who is he?"

In the meditation room in the backyard of Tongqing Temple, Zen Master Lingyou, who was sitting opposite Pei Hong, asked this question almost at the same time.

"To be precise, it should be 'she', because the deceased who turned into a ghost was a woman."

"Her family name is Sun, and her humble name is Xiaoya. She is somewhat related to a county lieutenant in my yamen."

"It's just that Sun Xiaoya was sold by her parents to a family in Shilipu in the eastern suburbs when she was young, and she became the child bride of that family."

Sighing deeply, when Pei Hong talked about the ill-fated girl, he finally revealed a touch of sadness and worry that he had never shown in front of others.

"Even though it sounds inhuman..."

"But in today's chaotic world, being able to survive is considered a kind of luck."

As the county governor of Ningxiang, Pei Hong clearly knew what kind of turbulent waves were hidden under the seemingly peaceful surface.

Since the "Anshi Rebellion", Datang has shown signs of falling apart.

The previous emperor was imprisoned in the palace for so many years because of the "Manna Change", and the eunuchs controlled the power of the court until his death.

Even after Li Yan succeeded to the throne, the Tang Dynasty was in a state of revival, but his series of reform measures were too radical, and the opposition it attracted was equally terrifying.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about its purpose of "destroying Buddha" offended all the Buddhist temples in the world.

If Li Yan lived long enough and was in power long enough, he might be able to reverse the decline of Datang by himself.

However, according to the information obtained by Pei Hong, Li Yan is now at the end of his battle, and even his father who was demoted to Tanzhou showed signs of making a comeback.

Under the background of this great era, although Sun Xiaoya was sold as a child bride-in-law of someone else's family, she at least survived.

"That girl is good at everything, but she is too kind."

When Pei Hong came to Ningxiang to be the county magistrate, Sun Xiaoya was the first to show kindness to him.

It was also under Sun Xiaoya's matchmaking that Pei Hong was able to get in touch with Lieutenant Sun, and punished the evil officials left behind by his predecessor with absolute force.

From this perspective, Sun Xiaoya can be said to be Pei Hong's benefactor.

Even Pei Hong went up to the mountain to seek help this time, it was hard to say that it was not out of selfishness, because he didn't want her to be beaten out of her wits by those "demon hunters" from the Qin Tianjian.

"..."

Silently looking at Pei Hong who was caught in sadness, Zen Master Lingyou didn't urge him.

Because Pei Hong didn't need anyone to comfort him at this time, he just wanted to take this opportunity to vent his inner depression and resentment.

"Master, do you know?"

"If I knew that girl was 'Stone Girl', I would never let her go back to the Fang family again!"

Just as Zen Master Lingyou expected, Pei Hong didn't vent for long, and continued to speak in a tone of gnashing his teeth but remorse.

The so-called "stone girls" actually refer to those women who cannot have normal sex life and childbirth.

In ancient China, where family inheritance was valued, there were many infertile "stone girls", usually those women who were born with various gynecological diseases.

However, Sun Xiaoya is not this type. She belongs to the "real stone girl" who doesn't even have a normal sex life.

The lower body is naturally closed. Apart from having a feminine appearance, Sun Xiaoya does not have all the characteristics that a normal woman should have, even including menstruation.

Stone girls like this are usually drowned directly when they are born.

Sun Xiaoya's parents didn't know what kind of mentality they had, so they kept her and raised her up.

If it wasn't for the Fang family's parents who realized something was wrong when they were the child bride-in-law of the Fang family, I'm afraid she would have kept it a secret.

It's a pity that Fang's parents are not Sun Xiaoya's biological parents after all. One can imagine the anger in their hearts facing such a "monster" who is barren and even inhumane.

Especially when thinking about the energy and money I have spent these years, the whole Fang family feels cheated.

"So, they found a witch doctor somewhere, and they planned to turn that girl into a real woman."

Since Sun Xiaoya was born closed, wouldn't it be enough to create an artificial passage for her?
Behind the seemingly simple rhetoric of the witch doctor, what was revealed was a very cruel "torture" that made life worse than death.

In order to prevent the artificially created channel from "unhealing", Sun Xiaoya has been wearing a prosthesis all the time since that day, and has to clean and replace it with a new prosthesis every night.

Otherwise, once those prostheses are fused with flesh and blood, not only will the man-made passages be closed again, but even Sun Xiaoya's body will have an extra foreign object forever.

It was really hard for Pei Hong to imagine how that weak girl could bear such extreme stinging pain and still behave like nothing happened.

Even if he just thought about it briefly, Pei Hong felt that this was [-] times more painful than a thousand cuts.

But Sun Xiaoya had to endure such pain day after day until she really grew up.

No one can hear her wailing in the middle of the night, and no one can imagine the pain she needs to endure every step of the day...

And when such a strong girl died unexpectedly and was affected by the evil spirit and turned into a ghost, one can imagine the extreme emotions she displayed.

From an ordinary person's point of view, Pei Hong believed that Fang's death was more than justified.

Regardless of their original intention and purpose, to bring such great pain to a little girl is itself an original sin that cannot be blamed for everything.

Not to mention that Sun Xiaoya, who has endured such inhuman pain, is destined to be barren.

......................................................................................................

"Hmph! If you can reproduce just by 'tearing' a passage, wouldn't even stones be able to reproduce?"

Without hiding the sneer at the corner of his mouth, after listening to Butler Zhong's description, Pei Wende only felt that he still underestimated this era without any science and rationality after all.

The events that Pei Wende encountered in the past, no matter whether there are demons or not, have not escaped his cognition, and cannot escape the basis of karma and willing entanglement.

But what Sun Xiaoya experienced made Pei Wende deeply feel the horror of ignorance and ignorance for the first time.

Perhaps part of what Fang's parents did was out of anger at being deceived, but more of it came from the ignorance brought about by ignorance.

Because of the influence of ignorant and backward concepts, I don't think it is wrong to do such an inhuman behavior towards my child bride-in-law.

Because of the ignorance of the human body and physiology, I listened to the folk prescriptions of the witch doctor, thinking that as long as I artificially create a tunnel, I can give birth.

"People's wisdom is not developed, it is difficult to distinguish between humans and ghosts, and ignorance continues, and humans are worse than ghosts."
