Chapter 38: False Taoist

After that, Song Qian and other parents who received the notice to collect the corpse pulled their children's bodies back to their homes one by one, and that night, Song Qian and his wife wrapped the children's bodies in a small quilt in their backyard and buried them.

At that time, cremation was not popular in the countryside, and if there was a dead person in the family, most of them would find a place where they thought they had good feng shui, or bury them in their ancestral fields, and then engrave the name on the entire tombstone or wooden plaque, which was very simple.

The child's body finally settled in the ground, the couple's life still has to live, after a period of adjustment, their small shop opened again, as usual, the night of eating, endless, but the difference is that in the store to stay in the middle of the night always said to hear the cry of a child, the cry is very miserable, infiltrating, and some travelers even saw a child in the back of the room in a circle, superstitious people have spread that the store is haunted, a few days later, all the tourists in the store have moved away, and then, the rumors of haunting have also spread one by one, and then, their small shop business is becoming depressed, a month may not be a few people to stay overnight, even if you stay overnight, it means that when you hear a child crying or see a child walking back and forth behind the house, after a long time, the store of Song Qian and his wife will be closed.

But the couple is very puzzled, so many people say that there are children crying, but they have never heard from beginning to end, let alone seen, about half a year has passed, one day they came to the door of a Taoist priest, the Taoist priest entered the door and said, there is a ghost wandering in his house, can not be reincarnated, now the couple pondered, maybe their own child died unjustly in Tanzhong, so the ghost can not be reincarnated, so the Taoist priest told them how to send away, the Taoist priest told them that the method is very simple, is where to bury the dead, and told must not be sent by the couple, saying that the child has a good memory, but also loves his family and parents, if it is his own family to send over, will inevitably come back with his family, in this case, he still can't send it away.

In order to let their children be reincarnated as soon as possible, and in order to prevent their own livelihood business from being interfered with by it, the couple spent money to hire a few bold outsiders, and secretly transported the child's body to Santan Mountain again in the middle of the night and buried it by the waterhole.

After burying the child in Santan Mountain, the couple opened a small shop again, which is strange, although this business is still not very good because of the previous haunted rumors, but finally there are no more tourists who say that there is anything unusual in the small shop in the middle of the night, so the Taoist priest said that the dead child in the family can not be carried by his own family to carry the coffin for funeral, and it has been handed down.

Of course, this is also the reason why the old Chen family hired someone to wait for their grandson to breathe and carry the coffin for burial.

At this point in the story, the matter about Santan Mountain is really over, but I still have three questions in my heart, first, the child's parents are still living in the village, second, why can't children go to Xiaolongtan in Santan Mountain to play, and third, why do other children only get sick when they go there to play, but the grandson of the old Chen family is seriously ill when they go there? I raised my questions to the proprietress, and the proprietress didn't say too much, telling me that Song Qian and his wife moved out of the village a few years ago, because they didn't know why, as for why the child would get sick when he went to play in Xiaolongtan, why the grandson of the old Chen family went to play but was half dead, she couldn't give me this answer, I saw that there was nothing to ask, so I took out another hundred yuan from my pocket and put it on the table, thanked the proprietress, turned around and walked out of the shop quickly, thinking in my heart, I wanted to go to Lao Chen's house to see the situation.

"Hey, I'm called Hanako, you don't have to give money! Your meal money has been settled" I just stepped out with my front foot, and the proprietress followed out with her back foot, and when she saw me and didn't look back, she muttered boringly: "This little is called Hanako, why is it more handsome the more you look at it?"

……

I walked out of the hotel, I used my spiritual power to find the location of the old Chen family, after three months of hard training, now my mental power perception range is about five kilometers around, soon, I felt that there is a three-story small building a kilometer away, the people in it are very busy and hasty, and there is a small coffin in the yard, I nodded, I estimated that it was the old Chen family.

Following the direction guided by his spiritual power, he ran to the door of Lao Chen's house with a smoke, and sure enough, he saw that the two middle-aged men who were claiming to carry the coffin who had just eaten in the restaurant were standing in the courtyard, and he was happy in his heart, and it was indeed here.

He combed the tattered clothes on his body slightly, pulled off the strips of rag from his body, tied his hair in a ponytail, and stepped into the small courtyard with one foot.

The people in the yard are busy, and no one noticed my village for a while, I looked at the three-story building and the layout in the yard, and I could see that the family background of this family was not bad, but there was a dying breath in the house, which seemed to be similar to what others said, and the child inside was only one step away from breathing, and he stepped into the ghost door and closed it.

The door on the first floor was locked, I pushed it several times, only a middle-aged man came to open the door, the door opened, the middle-aged man was first startled by my dress, and then a look of anger pushed me a few times, "Roll ......! Go to another place to ask for food, my house is not" said, the door is about to close, I guess he also thought I was a flower child to come over to ask for food, because of the family things in a bad mood, so I was a little depressed with me, I can also understand, not with him in general knowledge, let him close the door.

"Immeasurable Tianzun, the poor Dao traveled here, and found that there was some evil spirit here, so I came to see, if you open the door, you will ensure that your child is safe and sound" I stood at the door and said, the voice is not loud or small, but I guarantee that the people in the house can definitely hear it, the reason why I used the identity of the Taoist is also to hear the proprietress said that there was a Taoist priest who came to give the Song money to support the money, and only then spread the saying that outsiders carried the coffin after the child's death, and it is estimated that the identity of the Taoist priest will be more acceptable.

Sure enough, as soon as my words fell, the door was opened again, and this time out of the door was an old man with white hair, this old man's face was sluggish, and his cloudy eyes seemed to suppress a lot of emotions, he looked me up and down, as if he was forbearant and disgusted, but he didn't say anything unpleasant, just said: "The real person means that you can save my grandson?"

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, you can definitely save it, but you have to let me see your grandson's situation first" The old man stood at the door and thought for a moment, picked up the cigarette bag and pot, took two sips, sighed, and said, "Then the real person will come in and take a look!"

The old man sighed, knocked the cigarette pouch and pot in his hand, turned around and walked towards the house, and I followed into the house without saying a word.

This person's name is Chen Fu, 62 years old this year, recently he regretted his grandson very much, that day he took his grandson to Santan Mountain to play, a few people persuaded him not to take the child to Santan Mountain, in fact, he did not know what happened there back then, but he kept saying that there was a ghost, but he didn't believe it, not to mention that there were no children in these years really because of going to Santan Mountain Xiaolongtan to play and die, even if there were, he stubbornly thought it was just a coincidence, plus the grandson has been shouting to go up the mountain to see, so he agreed.

At first, the grandson was very happy, but when he arrived at Xiaolongtan, the child saw that there were fish in the pool, so he cried and had to touch the fish, Chen Fu didn't think so much at that time, so he called his grandson to go, thinking that he could look at the point in broad daylight, but when he came back in the afternoon, the grandson began to have a fever, and spent most of the day sleeping, and when he woke up, he was also confused and did not recognize people, this situation lasted for a day, Chen Fu thought that he was playing in the pool with water, and he had a cold, so he took the child to the village health center to check it, took anti-inflammatory injections, and prescribed medicine, but it did not improve after three days, and the eldest grandson who was originally white and chubby, quickly lost weight into a villain.

Chen Fu transferred his grandson to the big hospital in the town, tossed for a day, the money was not spent, but he was stunned that there was nothing wrong with it, the doctor couldn't say one, two, three, the old man was angry, he took his grandson back, and found a spirit woman who jumped the big god, and the spirit woman came and said that his grandson had lost his soul, jumped in the house, and pasted a house full of paper talismans, and the gods chattered for a little half of the night, and finally said that his grandson would be fine the next day, and ran away with the money.

But the next morning, his grandson not only did not get better, but it was more serious, directly unconscious, and his breath was also very weak, Chen Fu knew that he had met a charlatan, and saw that his grandson's life was about to be gone, and finally there was really no way, so he thought that it was not good to put the child dead at home, so he found a few outsiders in advance to wait for a breath, and began to carry the coffin and bury.

Today, Chen Fu stayed at home with his son and daughter-in-law, thinking about the last few days of accompanying the child, I came, Chen Fu saw that I was sloppy, how could I not look like a real Taoist priest, I also wanted to be blown away, but after thinking about it, Sima should be a live horse doctor! If you meet a liar again, it is nothing more than throwing some money, but what if it is good!

Moreover, the old man has lived for half his life, although he is a rural person who has never seen much of the world, but his eyes are also very poisonous, and he found that the young man in front of him, although he looks crazy and sloppy in his dress, but he reveals a dusty atmosphere everywhere, and he has the heart of trying it by luck, so he reluctantly invited me in.
