Chapter 490, Is There a Ghost?
The old man was dressed in a plain gray coat, and looked like an honest old farmer, his eyebrows looked very gentle, but he was wrinkled together, and his face was sad, as if he had encountered something big.
"Excuse me... Is the Taoist chief here..."
"The poor road is it, what is the matter of finding the poor way?" Li Yun came to the old man with a deep and indifferent face, but this profound atmosphere was ruined by the little nine-tailed fox lying on his shoulder...
Looking at the white-bearded old man in front of him, the little fox showed a "I'm curious" expression.
For the old fox in front of him, he just glanced at it and didn't look at it anymore, after all, there are still a lot of foxes now, and Taobao can buy the cubs of the little fox...
Li Yun couldn't help but admire this little Su Li, who could be obedient and wittily put away his natural super charm in front of outsiders, and disguised himself as an ordinary fox.
"It's... My village is haunted, can you help our village do things to exorcise ghosts, I still have some money here..."The old man took out a red plastic bag, which contained some bits and pieces of dimes, as well as dirty red banknotes, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know if this money is enough, everyone in the village made it up, and your Taoist temple should be able to do things, right?"
After reading these banknotes, Li Yun knew why this old man wanted to find himself to exorcise ghosts for no reason, because these money couldn't move the Dharma team of Luofu Mountain at all...
Li Yun didn't accept the money immediately, but he didn't refuse, just said.
"If you do things to exorcise ghosts, you can do it for you when the time comes, but before that, you can tell me what kind of situation you have encountered, and then talk about it, for different ghosts, there are different rituals, and there are different ways to deal with them. β
"In our village, suddenly one day, the old people began to have inexplicable nightmares at night, including myself... It's really scary... I heard that the evil spirit also threatened to start killing people..."The old man shuddered, and then said: "We heard that there was an evil spirit sealed in the village before, is it that this evil spirit has suddenly come out to do so, we are afraid that such a situation will happen..."
Li Yun can only say that he thinks too much about this, there are no evil spirits in the general sense now, if an evil spirit is sealed, then it will become scum now, not to mention harming people, it can't be scary.
However, Li Yun also felt that it was not impossible to do other possibilities, such as such a scary thing, a ghost with a vest of the god of Chenghuang Mountain could do it.
"Do you want to exorcise ghosts? OK. β
At the same time that Li Yun agreed, the system also spoke.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for responding to Ye Weiguo's fate. β
"Quest Reward: Random Dao. β
"Mission Punishment: None. β
...
Li Yun, together with Hanxiang and the white fox, came to the old man's agricultural van, a van full of vegetables, the paint surface has long been dilapidated, and there is only a little small space left to sit people, and if you squeeze Hanxiang, you can still barely sit down, and there is also an incense dragon pattern platform next to it, which is used for practical purposes.
Although this platform may not be used...
"Sorry chief, we don't have any good cars for you to sit in. The old man's tone was a little apologetic, but at the same time quite happy that someone was able to go to the village to exorcise ghosts.
Li Yun didn't speak, Hanxiang didn't care about looking out the window, the first time he took the car was quite strange, and at the same time commented that the piles of green vegetables behind the van were not good...
Su Li sneaked out and wanted to take two bites of the green vegetables to taste, but Li Yun directly refused...
"Alas, because of this ghost, the old people in our village can't sleep, people are panicked, even the young children are uncomfortable for a while, if it goes on like this, our village will really be destroyed..."
"What do you say about the evil spirits in this village, can you describe them to Poor Dao in detail? For example, what kind of people the so-called [evil spirits] were when they were alive. Li Yun asked.
"I don't know the specifics of this, but my elders told me the specifics, saying that it was when I was a child..."
Li Yun knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he began to close his eyes and recuperate, and the car walked for a long time, going around and around, taking the national highway and the village road.
Bang Bang β
After a while, the car began to steepen, and it shook and shook, the shock absorption of this van was not good, Li Yun felt that if it was an ordinary person, he might have to be spit out here, but Ye Weiguo was not unusual, he had long been accustomed to this rotten road.
Li Yun felt that this road was much worse than the poor mountainous areas he had seen before...
"Haven't you built this road..."
"Alas, no one repairs it, it's the same in this big mountain village, young people go out to work, and the city can't control this mountain lump, and we can't help it..." Ye Weiguo sighed for a while, he was used to this road, and he tried his best to drive the car to a place where there were not so many stones and mud.
After driving on this road for nearly an hour, I finally came to this village, the village road in the village is quite wide, at least two cars can walk side by side, but the surrounding buildings are miserable, old and dilapidated, even the most dilapidated people in Elephant Head Village are much better than here.
At the same time, there were also one or two young people passing by, dyed with colorful hair, which stood taller than the head, cheap hair caused by cheap hair dye, gathered in groups to discuss how to go home and ask for money to play, or gather in a corner to gamble.
And the work in the fields is also sporadic, not that the people here are lazy, but there is so much land here, surrounded by mountains and forests, but there is no development value, and it is not beautiful.
Li Yun's impression of this place can only be described as poor mountains and bad waters, and the geographical environment is too poor.
Ye Weiguo was also silent for a while on the next road, drove the van, and came to an earthen house, which was Ye Weiguo's home.
...
After getting out of the car, Li Yun also took a rough walk here.
This village is a little different from the villages Li Yun has been to before, other villages may be poor, maybe they are gloomy, maybe they are poor, maybe they are vibrant, they have never been so good in this village... Untidy.
Barren land, lazy atmosphere, young people playing cards and gambling... Of course, this may also have something to do with the season, as towards the end of the year, there are no factory dignitaries, and some young people who have gone out to work have returned to the village.
"This messy atmosphere is not a good thing for the village. Li Yun shook his head silently, looking at the village, and vaguely saw a few old people on the way, all of them didn't even have the slightest smile on their faces, as if they had been tortured by something.
Back to Ye Weiguo's earthen embryo room.
Ye Weiguo took out the pastries for hospitality from the kitchen, saying that the pastries were actually just simple fish cakes, which were the best things that could be used for hospitality in Ye Weiguo.
At this time, only Ye Weiguo and his wife were here in Ye Weiguo's country, his wife's attitude towards Li Yun was lukewarm, and he didn't mean to say anything, just nodded slightly and went to do his own work, silent, but the slender and somewhat hanging eyebrows never left Li Yun's body.
Su Li stretched out a little head from Li Yun's arms, sniffed the fish cake with his nose, was not interested, and continued to drill back, enjoying the warm 'quilt'.
"Chief, don't be surprised that we have a shabby place, that's all we have. Ye Weiguo sighed softly and said, "The haunted place in our village is in the forest, you see... Pick a good time to do things, and let everyone feel at ease, you can also see what the old people in our village have been tortured into by these things. β
"Hmm... Old gentleman, you take Poor Dao to see first, the people who are infested by ghosts are not the ones who have just seen suspicious ghosts, but the real ones who have been harassed..."Li Yun said, at least to see if they were really infested by ghosts and ghosts.
Ye Weiguo did not refuse, and went out with Li Yun and Hanxiang, wandering inside and outside this small village, the barren land, and the people who were idle were not surprised.
These people with colorful hair saw that Li Yun was nothing, and after seeing Hanxiang, the evil fire suddenly rose, and a wave of evil impulses surged into their hearts, and the corners of their mouths grinned evilly, and they rubbed their hands... Then he continued to play cards, ignoring Hanxiang.
Li Yuncai will not say that he quietly gave Hanxiang a stealth technique, her sense of existence is almost zero, and no matter how beautiful she looks, no one will notice her...
Well, it's done to put an end to unnecessary trouble, and there's nothing wrong with that.
After making excuses for a while, Li Yun saw an old woman with messy hair at the entrance of the village, muttering about the hometown dialect that Li Yun didn't understand, her clothes were in tatters, and her hand on crutches was shaking.
"Alas, she is one of the old people who was frightened crazy by ghosts, it's so pitiful, she used to be such a good person, but now she has become like this, all of them are harmed by ghosts. Ye Weiguo wiped his tears and sighed.
Li Yun approached the old woman's side, and she couldn't understand the words of her hometown, but she could feel the emotions in it, it was fear, fear, and fear, and it looked like she was really scared crazy.
At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the house, glanced at Li Yun suspiciously, ignored it, and then helped the old woman into the door with an impatient face.
"It's time to eat, don't stand outside and be embarrassed. β
The old woman was supported by the middle-aged woman, still demented...
Li Yun stared at the old woman for a while, shook his head, and did not continue to pay attention.
"Hmm... Is this the old man who has been mad by the [ghosts]..."
...
In the dilapidated rural earthen embryo house, the dusty furniture was messy, and the old woman was only a bowl of dreadly thin bran porridge in front of her, and some greens in front of her.
"Hell... Ghosts... There's a ghost comingβ" The old woman muttered to herself, her eyes trembling with fear and sluggishness, and drooling from the corners of her mouth.
The old woman's son and daughter-in-law also sighed when they saw the old woman become like this, especially the old woman's daughter-in-law, who said impatiently.
"You said that this old woman is not annoying, we take care of her like this, how long and what month, there is no money at home, what kind of evil did I create to follow your Qian family, I originally thought that your surname was Qian, but there is no money, and this dead old woman is still on the table, and the money is all saved, and there is no money. The middle-aged woman complained vigorously, and the middle-aged man next to her could only cowardly accept his wife's reprimand.
"But... But after all, this is our mother, and we can't ignore it, if we don't care, what will the people in the village think of us. Looking at the poor deposits in the passbook, he shouted: "How to say it, do we want to be unaware..."
At this time, the middle-aged woman next to her patted the head of the money she had saved and scolded.
"I'm just going to talk about it, don't take it seriously, when something happens, the old lady doesn't care, you really plan to throw away the old lady, you deserve the old lady to follow you back then without conscience. β
"I don't want to, but this year's income is too low, the land harvest is poor, the factory layoffs and the son has no job, how can there be so much income to take care of the old wife." Qian Qi muttered, "We're going to live too, aren't we?"
"If you can't take care of it, you have to take care of it, the old lady doesn't want to be chewed on the root of her tongue, at most it would be nice to give her something to eat, one more mouth is nothing. "The middle-aged woman saved all the money in vain.
When the old woman next to her heard that the money was saved and said "live", she suddenly danced with excitement.
"Live... To live... Stay alive... Stay alive!"
"What kind of madness is this old woman, this dementia is serious, really, it was like this before, and it is like this now. The middle-aged woman walked away from the old woman for a while, and said: "Isn't it really evil, just now I saw that Lao Yetou's family invited a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts, and I don't know if this Taoist priest is reliable or not, he looks quite young, and the ghost knows if it is useful..."
After saving all the money, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, it's not us who pays for it, right, whether he has real skills or not..."
"I'm home..."
At this time, the door was rudely thrown open, and a yellow-haired young man walked in from outside the door, smoking a cigarette while walking around impatiently, making phone calls, and scolding twice into the phone from time to time.
The couple who had saved up the money also knew that their son had failed to find a job again, so they could only shake their heads and sigh silently.
"If this continues, our whole family will not starve to death..."
The old woman could only silently watch this happen, and continued to murmur words of unknown meaning.
"Starve to death... Stay alive... Stay alive... In order to live..."
