“...... After the orphan and widow were buried, the village became more and more wicked......"

“...... The whole village, as soon as they close their eyes, will dream of her, and have that nightmare......"

“...... After that, the people in the village discussed it, but they still had to find a way...... Since the previous master didn't have real skills, and the truth works, I will go and ask a master with real skills to come back and see if there is any way......"

In the hall, he took another sip of the strong tea, was silent again, looked at the closed door of the hall, and the old man spoke again.

didn't turn his gaze, didn't say anything, Lian Ge just looked outside the hall and listened quietly,

In the back kitchen, after a while, the old man was holding a dish, and the middle-aged man was holding the washed dishes and chopsticks, and walked back to the hall.

After putting down the dishes in his hand and the dishes and chopsticks, he also sat down at the old man's table one after another, silent and listening to the old man's narration.

......

“...... Everyone in the village pooled their money, and then invited a famous master from the next county. ”

The old man was silent for a moment and continued.

“...... At first, the old master was reluctant to come, but later, he went to grind a few more times before agreeing to come to the village to have a look. ”

“...... Just like the previous master, after this old master walked around the village, he also said that this orphan and widow died unexpectedly, and he was angry and making trouble. He said that he would dig up the orphan Gu Mother who had been buried from the grave again, and do great Dharma work for her, so that the resentment could be eliminated and things in the village could be resolved, otherwise when the resentment was enough, the orphan and widow would have to ......."

“...... The people in the village discussed it, but there was no other way, so they could only agree. So the master called some men and dug up the bodies of the orphans and widows...... In the middle of that village, he did a few more days of transcendent rituals...... But ah, it didn't work at all...... The people of the village still have that nightmare, and ah, it's getting worse and worse......"

“...... After that, just like the first time, the master also began to have that nightmare...... The bodies of the orphans and widows were not buried, and they went away......"

The old man said, pausing again,

“...... At that time, some people in the village said that they would burn the bodies of the orphans and widows...... But think about it, if this orphan and widow really died with resentment, wouldn't it be more ...... like this."

“...... There's no way, the corpse, after a few days in the middle of the village, can only be buried in the same place......"

“...... A few days after that, the people in the village tried all their best, some went to the temple to ask for the Bodhisattva, and some went to the Taoist priest to ask for charms, but there was no way at all, there was no way at all......

“...... In the village, there are more and more evil sects...... All day and night, there was a heavy fog in the village, and the fog seemed to not disperse, and the sun was also obscured at noon, when the sun was at its highest...... As soon as the people in the village close their eyes, they will dream of the mother and son, and dream of the house collapsing and pressing on them......"

“...... The people in the village simply don't sleep, it's so hard, but how long can you stay up without sleeping...... As long as you close your eyes, you don't know when, you're in that dream...... And then the dream came over and over again...... No matter what you do, what you do, you will dream of her ......"

“...... The people in the village can only find a way, a group of people get together, take turns to sleep, and the people who keep vigil, as soon as they see that the expression of the sleeping person is wrong, they will quickly wake up...... But it's useless, the night watchman will also fall asleep...... Not to mention sleeping, but resting your eyes, you can't do it......"

As he spoke, the old man's hand holding the cup of strong tea trembled, and he looked at the closed door of the hall, his face was a little painful, and his eyes closed little by little,

But then, before his eyes were completely closed, the old man suddenly opened them again, staring at the bloodshot eyes, and there was some fear in his eyes,

“...... There is no way...... The village can only think about inviting another master back...... This time, it's a master, an eighty-year-old master...... Invited from this village not far away...... As a result, it hurt people......"

The old man paused, and then went on,

“...... After the invitation, the old master said, "This is not because of the orphans and widows...... I think that's right, when she came to me before...... That's like we are now......"

“...... The old master said that it was our original problem......"

The old man spoke, and fell silent again.

......

“...... According to the older generation, there were originally no residents in our mountain col. ”

The old man next to him turned his head, took the words, and said in a loud voice,

“...... Our village was moved from where it used to be...... Say, this was originally a place to bury people, and a lot of people were buried. It should be a mass grave, a mass grave ......"

The old man said, groping, picked up a cigarette stick from the side, cleaned it up, and then fell silent,

“...... The older generation also doesn't know why they moved here when they knew that this was a place where people were buried...... Those who know, before the liberation, when there was still war, after liberation, when there was famine, it was almost gone...... I remember that when I was only a teenager, my mother was still there, and every year during the New Year's holidays, I went to this mountain pass, at the foot of the mountain, to burn some paper......"

The old man took the conversation, looked at the closed door of the hall, and continued,

“...... After telling the old master about this, he said as soon as he heard it, yes...... It's because of us, for so many years, living on top of other people's heads, above the house, this day by day, these lonely souls and wild ghosts, the resentment is getting more and more serious, in the past, the people in the village also paid tribute to incense, burned some paper money, and the resentment can be resolved, and now no one burns paper...... If you are angry, you will naturally make trouble...... If it is not resolved, it will not be a nightmare at that time, and the whole village will suffer......

If we don't pay it back, this time, when the time comes, this debt will be borne by generations of generations, and there will always be a day when we have to pay it back, and when the time comes, it will only get worse......

...... If you want us to go to the land temple in the village to worship incense, and do a great ritual in the land temple to see if we can resolve these grievances......

The old man spoke, looking at the closed door of the hall, and fell silent again.

......

“...... The people of the village discussed it...... I had no other choice, so I scraped together some more money and handed it to this master, so that he could help with the law......"

“...... On the day of the work, it was still foggy, and from the time the sky was still dark, the practice began......"

“...... The land temple is not big, and the people in the village kneel outside the temple, and the master does things in the temple...... From daytime until the sun sets in the evening, the Dharma is done on this first day......"

As he spoke, the old man paused again,

“...... The land temple is not far from the entrance of the village, young man, when you entered the village, didn't you see it?"

Turning his head slowly, the old man said to Lian Ge,

He slowly turned back again, looked at the closed door, and fell silent.

......

“...... In the evening, when the Dharma was done and the people of the village were ready to get up in front of the temple, the master was reciting the scriptures in the temple...... The temple collapsed. ”

After a moment of silence, the old man looked at the door of the hall and spoke again.
