The two of them came to the outside of the town's folk affairs office at a gallop, this folk customs office and the armed forces department are next to each other, both located on the edge of the town, so in addition to the office building, there is a courtyard, and there are few office staff, which seems deserted.

Put away the motorcycle, Liu Haian pulled Wang Xin and asked him to wait, and then where did he recover his emotions, put his face away, and took the lead in walking in.

Under the leadership of Liu Hai'an, the two came to the back of the office building, and there was a separate small courtyard, three large bungalows, and an independent courtyard gate. When I walked into the courtyard gate, I saw that there were a lot of facilities for practicing on TV, such as plum blossom piles, and what wooden stakes.

There was no one in the yard, and he followed Liu Haian to the door of the north house, Liu Haian knocked on the door and said, "Master, I brought Wang Xin." ”

"Come in. A very weak voice came from the room.

Pushing the door in, very ordinary furniture, there were two old people sitting on the sofa on one side, one was the Xingzhongzi, and the other was an old man.

Wang Xin saw the old man and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Fifth grandfather, why are you here?"

This old man is Wang Xin's grandfather's own brother, Wang Xin's grandfather is the boss, a total of five brothers, all participated in the Anti-Japanese War that year, first to fight the Japanese and then to the civil war, but in the end only Wang Xin's grandfather and the youngest fifth came back alive.

Wang Xin's grandfather also passed away last year, and only this old man is still alive among the five brothers. Only three of the five brothers have a queen, and the youngest of the five did not have a family, and when Wang Xin's grandfather was still alive, these three families took turns to take care of him, but as soon as Wang Xin's grandfather left, he didn't want to say anything, so he had to live in a nursing home in the town.

In order not to make the old man angry, the three families had to go along, but every other day they had to send someone to send food and clothes, a few days ago Wang Xin also went to the nursing home to see the old man, although the old man is old but the body is okay, except for a little dazzle, everything else is good.

I was very surprised to suddenly see the fifth grandfather here today.

The old man's name is Wang Weiguo, and it is said that the old man's father was a scholar, and the family was quite wealthy at that time, and he was very proud to have given birth to such five sons. But after a few years of good life, they encountered the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and in that war-torn era, people lost their homes and were destroyed, and the five brothers still joined the army to resist the war.

Seeing Wang Xin's arrival, the old man was also surprised, and said, "Xingzhong, I thought who the person you were talking about was, it turned out to be my grandson." This kid is usually naughty and mischievous, and he doesn't read a book well, so why didn't I see his specialness. The eldest grandson came over and kowtowed to this stinky Taoist, and he will not be an outsider from now on, since the stinky Taoist said that you have the ability, then you should continue, how strong you are, and you are not allowed to be lazy and slippery, otherwise your fifth grandfather will not be able to spare you. ”

Because Wang Xin's grandfather is the eldest and Wang Xin is the eldest son of this generation, he is called the eldest grandson by the old man. Since the old man had spoken, no matter how reluctant he was, he had to kowtow to the old Taoist, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

The old Taoist priest sat upright and received this great gift from Wang Xin.

After the four of them sat down, the old Taoist priest said: "I thought that I came to you this time to ask you if you would like to step into this other circle, but I really don't want your piece of beautiful jade to be dusty and wander into the world." I didn't expect it to be an old man, then this is easy to do, I will tell you the ins and outs of this matter, and then you will decide. ”

Wang Xin's fifth grandfather started talking about this first.

When he joined the army, it was the most rampant time of the Japanese invasion, so the eldest took the third and fifth to join the Red Army, and the second and fourth joined the national army.

At that time, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party united to resist Japan, so the two sides were quite harmonious, and this year they happened to fight here in Shandong, and the five brothers came back to worship their parents. As a result, I heard the news that the Japanese were arresting a large number of villagers, regardless of men, women, and children, but they did not see any construction work, so it was very strange.

After the five of them returned to the unit and reported the incident to the leaders, they also felt very incomprehensible, could it be that the Japanese were doing something, so they all sent a reconnaissance team to investigate, and it happened that the five brothers were all from Shandong, so they all participated in this operation.

Soon both sides found the captured villagers, in a very hidden valley in the mountains, where secret fortifications were built, so they planned to sneak in in the middle of the night to see what was going on.

As a result, the first attack was a great defeat, and as soon as the two coalition armies entered the valley, there was a heavy fog, which was so thick that people couldn't distinguish the direction at all, and then they were attacked fiercely, and almost half of the personnel were lost before they escaped, but fortunately, the five brothers were fine.

The reason why they were able to escape was because there were two Taoist priests who helped lead the way, these two Taoist priests are now the master and brother of Xingzhongzi, and the two of them also went down the mountain to eliminate the demon guard, and they came to check when they observed that there was something strange in the valley here, but they didn't expect that there was a Qimen array. Before I thought of a way to crack it, I saw that the teams of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party directly killed it, which was not trivial, so I hurried to the rescue, but I didn't expect it to be too late.

After they escaped, they all felt that since the Japanese were so well guarded, they must have a great plan for the Japanese, otherwise it would be impossible to take such a tight guard, and they even set up a large array, and they must attack and destroy it.

So the two sides integrated the remaining team members, sent two people to each ask for help, and launched an attack at noon the next day. The Japanese didn't expect these big-headed soldiers to learn the formation, and they were broken by a sudden attack as soon as they came up, and they didn't have many Japanese soldiers defending here, so they were attacked after resisting for a while.

When I went in, I didn't expect the Japanese to set up a Qimen formation in the hinterland of the valley, and trapped the captured villagers one by one in cages and placed them in various formations of the big array, and what was even more strange was that most of those villagers were still alive and were not directly killed.

And there were a few Japanese onmyoji and ninjas dressed as Japanese in the big array, so the two sides began to fight, two onmyoji and three ninjas were particularly powerful, if it wasn't for the master and brother of Xingzhongzi at that time to catch their attack, I'm afraid that both teams would not win easily, and in the end all the Japanese were killed.

As soon as the villagers were saved, the Japanese reinforcements arrived, but the reinforcements here had not yet arrived, and someone had to stay behind to snipe, otherwise everyone would not be able to escape. At that time, Wang Xin's second grandfather volunteered to lead people to snipe the enemy, so the others escaped with the villagers, and then killed them after converging the reinforced troops, and the team responsible for sniping at that time had all died, and Wang Xin's second grandfather also died there.

Speaking of this, Wang Xin's fifth grandfather cried, although it was just a few words now, but it can be imagined that the war was tragic at that time, especially the squad responsible for the broken rear, must have endured a huge attack, but no one retreated, and all the members were heroic.

After easing his emotions, Xingzhongzi began to say again that after the outbreak of the war, he lived with his master and brother in the temple on the mountain, and he was not affected much, but one day his master wanted to take his brother down the mountain to resist the Japanese, because he was young at that time, he did not take him with him, let him watch the house in the temple, and wait for them to come back.

Who knew that his master never came back, but four years later, his senior brother came back and died a few days after confessing an incident.

It turned out that in the fierce battle in the valley at that time, after Xingzhongzi's master killed those onmyoji, he found a strange idol on them, and he didn't take it seriously, so he took it and prepared to study it. After that battle was over, he separated from those soldiers and continued to take his apprentices around to resist the Japanese, specifically against those onmyoji from Japan.

In the following period, several such large arrays were discovered, all of which trapped the living in the arrays and starved them to death. After a period of research and exchanges with fellow believers at the time, it was discovered that this was an evil plan of the Japanese. It is to use the Great Array of Hungry Ghosts to destroy the veins of the land of China, in order to make the Chinese nation extinct and cut off the species, and those captured villagers will be turned into hungry ghosts after being trapped in the array and starving to death, and enter the veins and earthly qi of the land of China through the great array, so as to achieve the effect of destroying the leylines.
