Chapter 8: The Dust Settles
Lin Fan ran to the door of Zhang Xiaoshan's house in one breath, pushed the courtyard door, and saw that the door was locked from the inside, this push was not tight, and a local dog in the courtyard barked at Lin Fan through the door,
"Uncle Zhang, open the door, Xiaoshanzi, open the door......" Lin Fan knocked on the door vigorously,
However, no matter how much movement he made, there was no sound inside, and the only one who responded to him was the earth dog, barking more and more fiercely.
It's no wonder that the village is not very peaceful, and it has been strange recently, the villagers are panicked, so they naturally increase their caution and close their doors before it gets dark.
Especially at this time, even the patrol team has stopped, who dares to go out?
So Ren Linfan smashed the door and shouted his throat, but the Zhang family didn't dare to respond.
Who knows if you're the conjuring ghost?
This is also the reason why Xu Mingkuan and the mysterious old man are so blatant and unguarded.
Lin Fan shouted a few more times, and seeing that there was still no response except for the barking of the earth dog, he gave up and left with some frustration.
He walked towards home, and before he reached the door of the house, he was grabbed and picked up by his father who ran over, and Lin Haishan slapped his son three times in a row without saying anything.
This time Lin Haishan is really on fire.
In the middle of the night, the son actually ran out of the door alone without a sound, it was simply looking for death!
When she got home, Lin Fan saw that Xia Cuilan had also woken up, and this time she didn't protect him, and she also had a look of reproach on her face, and the couple reproached their son again, and then naturally asked him where he went and what he was doing?
Lin Fan didn't dare to tell the cause of the incident, if he told him about seeing the soul of his predecessor, he, an "outsider", would be exposed.
After a little muttering, he omitted the previous paragraph, and then, slightly adapted and integrated the matter, saying that when he slept until the middle of the night, he heard a sound of chanting scriptures outside, and he couldn't sleep, so he got up, followed the sound until he found the temple at the edge of the village, and then told his parents everything he saw in the temple truthfully.
When Lin Haishan and his wife heard this, they were stunned, with a look of horror and shock on their faces, and it took a long time to react, and then the couple gasped and looked at each other.
Lin Haishan roared indignantly, "What is Xu Mingkuan doing?!"
"Isn't it conjuring spirits?" Xia Cuilan's voice trembled, and said, "The big guys think that it is the Yin Ghost who is summoning the spirit, but they don't admit that it is their ......."
Lin Haishan said, "This is hurtful, why did Xu Mingkuan do this?"
"Daddy, go and ask your uncle......" Lin Fan said. "Uncle has been in the county for a few years and has seen a lot of things, so he should know about it......"
"Well, he should have been called......" Lin Haishan glanced at his son, things in the village were getting more and more strange, he didn't want his son to stay in the village anymore, he wanted to take this opportunity to send his son to the city.
Xia Cuilan was not ambiguous at this time, and said decisively to her husband, "Dad, you go to sleep quickly, as soon as dawn you set off to the county seat to find Qiusheng......"
"Hey. Lin Haishan's promise was loud and crisp.
Lin Fan also went to sleep.
Lying in bed, he couldn't sleep.
What he saw tonight touched him very much.
In particular, the soul of his predecessor made him a little sad.
Moreover, things are a bit chaotic and a bit confusing.
So, he combed things through in his mind.
He thought that before he crossed over, Xu Mingkuan had probably invited the mysterious old man to summon his soul, and his body was weak and his mind was stunned, and his soul was taken away.
Once a person's soul is lost, it is easier to attract yin ghosts, and yin ghosts absorb human yang qi to improve Taoism, and the predecessor Lin Fan Yang dies.
So he was given the opportunity to give up.
And the soul of the predecessor Lin Fan was detained in the temple, and then he secretly ran out for some reason, so there was another incident where he was summoned that night.
As for why the old man wanted to summon spirits, it was mostly related to the statues in the temple, he and Xu Mingkuan were secretly doing some disgraceful things. Some kind of nefarious deed.
Thinking about it, Lin Fan fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, it was dark.
Lin Fan wanted to run to Zhang's house to see if Zhang Xiaoshan's soul was lost, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw his mother in the house, Xia Cuilan said, "Dumb, wake up, get up and eat, after eating, help my mother peel corn......
Hearing this, Lin Fan knew that he couldn't get out today, and he would probably be placed under house arrest by his mother.
Sure enough, Lin Fan got up, washed the wuse, and ate, until he came to the yard to peel corn, Xia Cuilan was always by his side.
said that he was accompanied, but in fact, he was watching him and not letting him run out.
Lin Fan had to obediently help his mother peel the corn cob in the yard, dispelling the idea of going out.
On this day, the village was surprisingly quiet, and nothing major happened.
Until.
In the evening.
From the east end of the village, there was a voice shouting for help. There was horror in his voice, and then there were two screams, which sounded terrifying.
Hearing that voice, Lin Fan was stunned, he felt that the voice seemed to be Xu Mingkuan's, and Xu Mingkuan's family lived in the east of the village.
Thinking like this, he rejoiced, wondering if his uncle had come and learned of Xu Mingkuan's criminal deeds and killed him.
In my memory, my uncle Xia Qiusheng has kung fu, and one person can beat ten strong men. Moreover, he himself said that he had killed people.
Lin Fan raised his head and looked at Xia Cuilan, "A-Niang, what's the sound outside?"
Xia Cuilan's face was sad and speechless, seeing that it was getting late, and her husband hadn't come back yet, he was also worried.
Especially, the voice just now, listening to the oozing.
"I'll go out and have a look," Lin Fan dropped the corn cob and rushed out the door. didn't give Xia Cuilan a chance to stop him at all.
"Dumb, come back, don't go......" Xia Cuilan dropped the corn cob and chased out the door.
Lin Fan ran towards the east of the village, and at this time, he saw that there were villagers on the road who also walked towards the east of the village with a sad face, presumably they also heard the sound and wanted to find out.
When Lin Fan ran to Xu's house in the east of the village, he saw the high-walled courtyard of the Xu family, in front of the magnificent gatehouse, one left and one right, standing two sturdy men, green cloth shirts, dressed energetically, each holding a bright big knife in his hand, and the cuffs of his clothes were embroidered with the words "Haitian Gang".
After seeing these three words, Lin Fan was excited in his heart, because the truth seemed to be getting closer and closer to the speculation in his heart.
At this time, Lin Fan saw that all the people who wanted to enter the Xu family were blocked by the two Haitian Gang people, and the reason they gave was "The Haitian Gang will kill the evil cultivators, and no one is allowed to step into it." ”
Hearing this, all the people who wanted to enter the Xu family to find out stopped and stood aside obediently, not daring to violate the rules.
At this time, a bell-like voice came from the courtyard, shouting, "Xu Mingkuan, as the village head, embezzled the village temple offerings, caused the temple parade god to flee, and colluded with evil cultivators to summon the soul and shape the gods of the weak young man in the village, cruel and unreasonable. ”
