Jilewu: the Ancient Ruins

In the first year of Guangming, there was great chaos in Guanzhong. Zhou Mancang, a wealthy man from Chang'an, fled to the Qinling Mountains with his family and built Heifeng Village. A three-foot-long golden Buddha statue was built in the main hall, thinking that it would ensure peace for a hundred years. The mountains are covered with snow and food is cut off. He began to kill slaves to satisfy his hunger, lying about "game meat". The aroma of meat filled the village, but no one asked. Food ran out. He started killing his family. Distant relatives, close relatives, principal wives, sons - where the sword fell, blood flowed like a river. The last one to survive was the concubine he bought. She guarded the empty stronghold alone, luring and killing passers-by with sex, putting their meat into cellars, and hanging bacon on beams. They were well clothed and well fed, but no one spoke. Loneliness is more heart-gnawing than hunger. A monk came through the snow. She took off her clothes to seduce her, while the monk closed his eyes and chanted sutras without even looking at her. She cried for the first time. The monk converted her and left. She waited day and night, but the monk never returned. She folded her cassock and hung herself from the beam. In the second year of Guangqi's reign, Ah He was scrubbing the floor tiles of the Buddhist hall, and his fingertips touched a loose tile. Open it up and find a thin bone in the soil. She said nothing and continued mopping the floor. The curse is not dead yet, just waiting for the next generation.
