Chapter 132: Demon Tower (癸)

A few of us fell silent again, and I poured the last bit of wine from the bottle into my glass. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info then said to them: "Since ancient times, the Gu poison technique has not been accepted by our Chinese cultivators, on the one hand, its cultivation method is very cruel and inhumane, on the other hand, even if the cultivator has cultivated, he is no longer the original person, and a lot of mutations have occurred. Therefore, Gu poison has existed thousands of years ago, but we all regard it as a cult, and everyone will be punished for it. Ming Chengzu, Zheng He, and Ma Huan must also be concerned about this reason, so they made this attempt in the Ma family and the Du family, and in the process of trying, there must have been a big problem, or the reason why the two families could not stop, which lasted for hundreds of years. ”

"But now the times are different, it is difficult for them to find a suitable place and environment with the old methods, you see, Beijing's demolition has just begun, the subway has been built in all directions, we have to build viaducts, overpasses, all the water and electricity pipe network also have to be re-laid, several dark river systems under our old city, dry dry, moved, long ago not the original state. The dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty found out by Yao Guangxiao was broken into several pieces. The old feng shui is broken, but in fact, the new feng shui is taking shape. Things that don't go out of fashion will naturally disappear. I think that the Ma family and the Du family have long recognized this, what is the point of paying such a big price and cultivating immortality, and besides, they can only manage ten or twenty years, and the pain in the meantime may only be known to them. ”

"The point is, these things can't be passed on, can you still expect your son to inherit his father's business now? In the past, craftsmanship was a job, but now, how many people can survive with old craftsmanship? Not to mention, these evil things of the Ma family and the Du family. So, I always feel that this is their last time, and again, even if we have clues and make correct guesses, we can't verify it and hold them accountable based on that. Soon, the Ma family and the Du family will clean up the living tombs in the tower, and the strange things in the tower will naturally stop at that time. I glanced at them and put down my chopsticks.

Talking about this, it is already the beginning of the lanterns, and the Jingmi aqueduct that has just been treated has long lost the smell it had before, and the water flow is very slow, and it is estimated that it will be completely frozen in a few days.

Xiao Zhang shook his head and muttered: "Uncle Chang, do you mean that our investigation ends here?" This is Lei Zi's first case, and the conclusion is that Aunt Li had a heart attack, and she happened to encounter an elevator accident and died unexpectedly, and the tower was because the villagers set up spiritual positions indiscriminately, which affected everyone's daily life. It's a bit unwilling. What do you say, Lei Zi?" I knew that Xiao Zhang's unwillingness actually came more from speculation and suspicion of the whole incident, so I didn't say anything.

Xiao Lei stared blankly at the brightly lit Beijing City in the distance, and said lightly: "Actually, this matter has no impact on us, the real unlucky one is Associate Researcher Qian, he didn't do anything wrong, just put forward his own opinions and inferences, but he bore the most serious consequences." ”

"Yes, so the inheritance of Chinese culture is often good and excellent, and it is popular to be bad and harmful. For example, this set of officialdom has been the same for thousands of years, intrigue, and stumbling and setting up a set of tricks from generation to generation is stronger than the next. Xiao Zhang, your director is about to retire, so don't make trouble for him. If you really want to verify this, you can secretly tell the residents of the building about the coffin placed on the thirteenth floor by the Ma family, and ask them to report to the TV station and newspaper. If they are coming, you can follow them, and if the media causes trouble, your police station can follow and mediate. As soon as my words fell, Xiao Zhang's face was already full of excitement and raised his big finger at me.

Before the Spring Festival of the second year, Xiao Lei brought some New Year's goods to Hufang Bridge to pay New Year's greetings, it is estimated that he came a few times after the winter, I stayed in the Red Mansion in Dongcheng for more than a month because of the haunting of the movie crew, and did not go home much, it is estimated that Xiao Lei Bai ran a few times. We had just made the tea, and Team Cao pushed the door into the courtyard, I hadn't seen him for half a year, Team Cao was obviously haggard, and his spirit was not as good as before. As soon as I let him into the house, Xiao Lei whispered to me that although the serial murder and robbery case in the Northeast was solved and the murderer was caught, Team Cao was injured and lay in the hospital for more than a month, and was just discharged.

I hurriedly asked about his injury, he shook his head, told me that it was nothing serious, so he took care of himself to find tea leaves to make tea, while boiling water, and asked me: "Lao Chang, Xiao Lei's case is your idea, right?" I didn't understand what Team Cao meant, and looked at Xiao Lei in surprise, Xiao Lei smiled bitterly and spread his hands to me, making an innocent expression. "Lao Chang, you can make me miserable, the director of the police station is of retirement age, and he will enjoy Qingfu in a few months, but he is surrounded by people every day, saying that he has said things for a month and a year, and he complains about me for a while every time he meets me. Team Cao made tea and sat down next to me with a thermos cup.

"What's going on, Xiao Lei, what's going on in that tower?" I quickly asked Xiao Lei.

Xiao Lei told me what happened later.

It turned out that after we broke up that day, Xiao Zhang thought about it for a long time and decided to give it a try according to my idea. He didn't report to Director Ji, so he told the residents in the tower that there might be a coffin hidden in the tower, and this time it was a big deal, some went to the police station to report the case, some went to the newspaper to report the situation, and some sat in silence at the door of the township government, and it was boiling for a while.

Naturally, the TV station and newspapers did not report the news, and the reporters and the residents of the building surrounded the thirteenth floor. But the people of the Ma family just didn't open the door, and everyone quarreled all afternoon, but Xiao Zhang slowly got through the work of the Ma family and opened the door. Everyone entered the house and was shocked. There are three rooms and a living room, where two coffins are parked, and on one wall of the living room, there is a three-story wooden shelf with more than a dozen urns on it. In front of each urn there is a tablet for incense candles. But because the room was low, the opening room was narrow, the windows were small, and there were some old newspapers pasted on them, the room looked very gloomy, and a female reporter who had just entered the door screamed and escaped.

The other room on the thirteenth floor was similarly arranged to this one, and Xiao Zhang went to the Du family on the twelfth floor to take a look. There was only a coffin in the room, but nothing else. After Xiao Zhang looked at it carefully, he still found some discoveries. One is that although the ground has dried up, there are obvious signs of flooding. Second, there are still a few worn-out quilts on the ground, which seem to be used to block doors and windows. But the room was damp and stuffy, and there was a disgusting smell of rancidity. The third is that there is a door panel standing next to the wall, Xiao Zhang went up to take a look, and a lot of the paint on the door panel has peeled off, but he can vaguely see a human figure on the door panel. Xiao Zhang wondered in his heart, how long would he have to lie on the door panel before he could leave a mark.

Then, the developer vacated the conference room, the media reporters were busy interviewing, and the police at the police station were busy mediating, but everyone stopped arguing and waited to see the truth surface. But as soon as the media interviewed, the form was reversed, and in the tearful accusations of the Ma family, the balance of right and wrong continued to waver. In the past few hundred years, the Ma family has had more than 500 cemeteries, and the compensation is only enough for the Ma family to buy more than 100 places in the cemetery.

Second, the Ma family is a large family for generations, paying attention to the inheritance of loyalty and filial piety, and it is impossible to favor one over the other, so how to arrange the burial economically and reasonably has become a headache. In the end, it was the ancestors of his own family who couldn't put it in.

Third, temporarily put it in the tower's own house, it is also a last resort, and it will not be placed in it all the time, the people of the Ma family have gone to their hometown in Shanxi, ready to choose a piece of land, after all, the land there is cheaper, and after it is built, the tomb will be moved over.

Fourth, this unit is the private property of the Ma family, and what to put in it is completely a personal act, and there seems to be no law prohibiting it.

These words are reasonable, and even many residents in the building have expressed their understanding and have condemned the developer, who has fallen mines on the ground and messed up, and the office has been surrounded by the owners.

After a few days of disputes, under the mediation of the police station, we still reached an understanding, after all, the coffin and urn were parked in the tower, which affected the normal life of other residents, or temporarily moved to the cemetery to be stored. In the future, the village should also change customs, civilized funerals, and put an end to burials.

Although the mediation work is over, but the media reports have spread overwhelmingly, this is a deep news involving demolition, funeral system reform, rural urbanization, new neighborhood relations and other issues, the incident itself is enough to attract attention, for a time the national media reporters have flocked to Mawang Village, and the Ma family is very low-key, unwilling to accept interviews, the developer is afraid of accidents, but also avoid reporters, the township government and the police station has become the focus of media interviews.

Director Ji's retirement application was also postponed, and the organization required him to stand on the last shift, and he knew the situation best, when he would finish dealing with those reporters, and when he would retire with honor. made Director Ji complain when he saw Team Cao, but no matter what, Director Ji was also popular in the media before he retired. At the end of the year, the police station also received a commendation, and the last advanced worker was none other than Director Ji.

Behind the noise, no one paid attention, Aunt Li's case was closed as an accident, and the elevator factory paid some pensions. No one noticed that the people of the Ma family moved to Shanxi one after another. No one paid attention to it, the Du family did not move away, and still lived in the village, and the nephew of the old man Du also came back from the cultivation of Zhongnan Mountain, but his brain was as confused as the old man Du.

A few months later, in the tower, the mourning halls of the Ma family and the Du family were removed, there were no ghosts or strange sounds in the building, the elevator that always went to the thirteenth floor was repaired, and even the fountain built by the developer in the garden was restored to the clarity of the pool. Zhang still takes some time to visit the tower every week, everything is calm and peaceful, and there are more and more residents in the building, but Xiao Zhang still has a habit of always putting his ear to the water pipe to listen.

(Born to kill, the principle of the Tao is also.) Heaven and earth, the thief of all things, all things, the thief of man, man, the thief of all things. Three thieves are suitable, and three talents are safe. Therefore, it is said: when you eat it, you will be rational, and if you move it, you will be safe. People know their gods and gods, but they don't know why they are not gods. The sun and the moon are numbered, the size is fixed, the holy merit is born, and the gods are out. Its theft is also something that the world can't see, and nothing can know. The gentleman gets a solid bow, and the villain gets a light life. --"Yin Fu Sutra") (To be continued.) )
