In ancient times, there was an old woman whose husband's family name was Wang, so she was called the Wang family. The Wang family suffered a hard life. Her husband died early and depended on a son in his early years. Later, when the son grew up and married and had children, the family gradually stopped being so poor, and the hard days were over.

There was a deity statue in the Wang family, which was passed down by the ancestors. It was made of jade and beautifully carved, but I don't know where it was carved. It looked majestic, holding a sword in its hand, and it was majestic.

Recently, many babies in the village have died for no reason without any scars on their bodies. When they woke up, they had no breath, and it was very strange. It made the people in the village who had babies panic.

Wang shi was usually very concerned about the statue. The statue was placed in her room, and she was afraid that she would accidentally touch it. She was afraid that it would break, so she placed the statue very far back on the incense table.

His son and the others would not easily enter his room, let alone move the idol for no reason. How did the idol move? Could it be that it moved by itself? Wang shi was very confused, but after thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure it out, so she had to give up.

That night, Wang shi heard a strange sound in her sleep, "grunting," which seemed to be the sound of a carriage driving. This sound had been appearing for several days, and it would appear every night.

Out of curiosity, Wang shi wanted to figure it out today, opened her eyes and was about to get up, but at this time, she saw a terrifying scene through the moonlight in the window. The statue on the incense table facing the bed came alive, jumped to the ground, turned into a man, and ran out of the house with a green sword in her hand.

Wang shi was very surprised, she didn't know how the statue could be revived, so she got up carefully and looked outside through the window, only to see the man transformed into the statue in the courtyard fighting with a giant bird. After Wang Shi saw appearance of the giant bird through the moonlight, she was immediately shocked. The giant bird had nine heads and kept making "grunting" sounds.

Although the man turned into a god statue held a sword in his hand, the nine-headed bird's movements were also very agile. One person and one bird, they fought equally, and after fighting for about a stick of incense, the nine-headed bird was chopped off with two heads, blood dripping, and the man turned into a god statue was also injured.

The man could not dodge, and was grabbed by the claws of the nine-headed bird on his forehead, and five holes were immediately scratched on his head. As he died, he waved his sword, but also cut off the last two heads of the nine-headed bird. The nine-headed bird fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and there was no movement.

Seeing this, Wang shi was so scared that she trembled and stayed up all night. She finally stayed until dawn the next day. She went out to wake her son and tell him what she saw last night.

After a while, a well-informed old man came and revealed the true face of the nine-headed bird. It turned out that the nine-headed bird was called a ghost car, also known as a bird, which was changed by body of the dead woman. If the woman was pregnant and had not yet given birth to a child, she would die in the wilderness and gradually become resentful, and she would turn into this ghost car, which was named after the sound of a carriage passing by. He often landed on the roof at night.

After everyone heard this, they finally understood why there were always babies dying for no reason in the village recently. It turned out that it was the nine-headed bird that was causing trouble. Suddenly, someone remembered that three years ago, a woman who was waiting for childbirth from other places fled to this place and died due to illness.

When Wang shi heard that, she was terrified. She remembered that she had always heard the sound of "grunting" in recent days. It must have been that the nine-headed bird had already been eyeing her little granddaughter and wanted to do harm.

With this in mind, Wang quickly picked up the statue on the ground and saw that the crack in the statue's forehead almost divided it into two.

The well-informed old man also came forward. He knew what had happened yesterday and said, "This statue should have been incense from your family for many years, became a spirit, and gave birth to consciousness." When he saw that the nine-headed bird was going to harm people in his family, he showed his life to save him.

After hearing this, Wang shi let out a long sigh, and she was very grateful for the statue in her heart. She returned to the house, placed it on the incense table again, burned three sticks of incense, and knelt down and kowtowed nine times over the statue.

The next day, the Wang family asked a jade craftsman to repair the cracks in the statue. Although it was in good condition, it was no longer as dusty as before, and it had lost its spirituality. The Wang family still offered offerings day and night, burning incense and praying that the statue could restore its consciousness.

"Even if it can't be restored for a while, even if it can't be restored for ten years or a hundred years, pass on the statue from generation to generation and offer incense, it will eventually recover one day." Wang shi thought so.

Less than ten years later, Wang was sick and bedridden. After more than ten days, she gradually felt that the oil was running out and the lamp was dying. When she felt that her life was not long, she suddenly recovered and recovered. Wang came to burn incense in front of the statue and saw that the periphery of the statue was covered with dust, while the statue was spotless.
