Chapter 18 The Wound of the Locust Tree, the Great Secret in the Deep Well
Since the death of the old lady Liu, the Liu family's reputation has not been very good. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this is also the reason why even if the Liu Mansion has a lot of money, the Liu family can only be a rich man.
After all, no matter how full of economy is, you have to talk about face. As soon as the old lady of the Liu family died, Master Liu drove several of his younger brothers and sisters out of the house, and what was even more terrible was to sell his father's concubine for silver. Although in the end I had to spend money on things. But he was also impeached by the imperial history, depriving him of the hope of recovering as an official.
Master Liu was naturally full of resentment, but fortunately, he still knew that he was an ordinary person and could not afford to be an official. On weekdays, he has to slander him, but he doesn't dare to really take an enemy. can only be angry with his brother and sister. not only took back the little money they had promised, but also forced them all far away. I won't even be allowed to stay at the door of my house.
Everyone in the city knows that Master Liu only has silver in his black eyes on weekdays, and he can do anything. On weekdays, he relied on his family background to forcibly seize and rob, and did everything he did with loans and exploitation. Naturally, he doesn't like the people around him. However, Master Liu still holds grudges, and after several times he ruined people's families, people in the city only dared to curse behind their backs, or hoped that the Liu family would be unlucky. But I didn't dare to really touch the mold.
Wang Zhenren, as mentioned by the housekeeper of the Liu family, entered the city on the afternoon of the second day when Yunhuzi entered the city. That is, the afternoon of the day when Master Liu lost his temper. Master Liu, who couldn't wait, immediately took advantage of the fact that the sky was still bright and took Wang Zhenren around the Liu family's mansion, but he didn't mention the word money.
Wang "real person" hinted several times, but Master Liu didn't know whether he really didn't pay attention or pretended not to know. But he kept asking what was the problem with the Liu family? Wang Zhenren naturally did not answer.
However, the housekeeper of the Liu family rarely stood up and quietly persuaded his master: "Master, forget it, don't talk about the price, Wang Zhenren is not good at judging cause and effect, and easily tell the problem." In case of holding a grudge, perfunctory or deliberately saying something wrong. Wouldn't Liu Mansion be even more unlucky? ”
Master Liu had a gloomy face at this time, and only then did he ask: "I don't know what Wang Zhenren has to do, how much is the honorarium?" ”
"The law is not empty, and sincerity is spiritual. Poor Taoist view of your Liu Mansion is deep in yin and demonic in the sky. With such a ritual, I am afraid that the poor road will greatly damage his vitality and lose his life for ten years. However, the monks are compassionate, slay demons, and restore peace in the world, which is where the merit lies. It's just gold and silver paper silk, dotting the yin and yang heavenly realm, please use the heavenly soldiers, and there are many twists and turns. Therefore, it is necessary to tattoo 3,000 taels of silver as the capital of Jiao Zhai. Wang Zhenren looked unfathomable, stroked his pale long beard and replied.
Master Liu's face instantly darkened. Just to be refuted. Who knew that the housekeeper grabbed his master and said, "Master, you can't go!" When the mage comes out of the altar, there is no price. If it's for this mere three thousand taels of silver, don't you want this huge mansion? What's more, there are young masters and young ladies! ”
Master Liu thought for a while, and only after half a ring did he grit his teeth and said: "Okay, three thousand taels is three thousand taels, if it is useless, be careful that Master Ben takes you as an official." “
Wang Zhenren smiled, as if he was full of confidence, and nodded as if he didn't care about Master Liu's threat: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" I thanked Master Liu. After that, he took out a compass and looked left and right. With a large group of people from Liu's mansion, they turned around and walked to the old locust tree in the back garden.
"Don't plant mulberry in the front, don't plant willows in the back. In the yang house, the most taboo shade tree. Huai is also a ghost, not to mention that this tree is not less than a thousand years, and the natural demonic spirit is soaring, colliding with the living, and it is also gathering yin qi to provoke ghosts. No wonder Liu Mansion has many strange things. This locust tree can't be kept! Wang Zhenren took the compass and said with an affirmative face.
I see, some people have said before that this tree is unlucky, but the father was very happy. For so many years, he has not been very concerned about the Liu Mansion. However, after cutting down the tree that day, not only did the tree not hurt in the slightest, but Liu Fu had many strange things since then, and he was even more tired of dogs and dogs and strange diseases. Master Liu was puzzled.
"Then it is all the more necessary to get rid of this scourge. This locust tree is probably a thousand years old, and it has long been refined. It is also a sign of yin and dirt, and it is bad luck, but it is only the second grade of Old Lady Liu's official residence, and the luck is monstrous, and it is the birth of the star in the sky. The little tree spirit naturally can't help it. But as soon as Mrs. Liu was gone, the days went by, and the shade dissipated. The dryads were at fault again. Wang Zhenren explained.
When Master Liu heard this, he suddenly realized, and immediately ordered: "Come on, go and get some tools, and cut down the locust tree with Master Ben." ”
When Wang Zhenren heard this, he shouted: "I can't do it, I can't do it." Don't be impulsive. ”
When Master Liu heard this, he asked strangely: "Why, do you still want to keep this old tree to be a monster and harm the Liu family?" ”
Wang Zhenren hurriedly explained: "For thousands of years, this tree has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, and I am afraid it is no longer an ordinary tree. If you do it rashly, I am afraid it will be even more disadvantageous. It is better to wait for the poor road to open the altar tomorrow and drive away the evil cult, and then stick the spirit talisman on it to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
After listening to this, Master Liu was noncommittal. The housekeeper next to him pulled Master Liu's sleeve and whispered, "Didn't the master forget the disaster of the day?" ”
Only then did Master Liu nod and said, "Okay, although Wang Zhenren is prepared, we will get rid of this tree demon tomorrow." ”
Wang Zhenren smiled, put away the compass, and followed Master Liu away. A strong wind blew, and the locust trees whined like weeping.
When the cloud fox came to the locust tree for the second time to chant and preach, he found that there was a sad aura around the locust tree. Formless and substantial, it can make people can't help but feel sad in their hearts. When the night wind blew, the locust tree no longer made the sound of branches and leaves, but a whining sound.
The night is deep and the four sides are silent. The sound of the whimpering wind is like the cry of an old locust tree.
Yun Fox just silently calculated in his heart, and then he knew what was going on.
The old locust tree doesn't want to die.
Although he is not full of intelligence, he has the instinct to survive. The old locust tree has been standing here for thousands of years, and it has gone through many ups and downs before it gradually sprouts a trace of spirituality. Now that the disaster is at hand, what can there be but crying when no one is around?
The cloud fox suddenly had a feeling of sentimentality connected to his fate, and he didn't know why. Obviously, to the point where it is now, there are very few existences in this world that can hurt the cloud fox, but the cloud fox still let a burst of sadness fill his heart.
After half a ring, the cloud fox woke up suddenly, drove away this unprovoked mood fluctuation, shook his head, walked up and touched the old locust tree and said, "Don't worry, they can't cut you." Your position is good, and you are above the feng shui array of this city, which is related to the blessings and safety of the people of a city. Poor Dao doesn't know why that false Taoist priest came, but no one will want to hurt you tomorrow. ”
Cloud Fox didn't lie, not everything will have a spirit after a long time. Not every living being who has experienced the baptism of the sun and the moon will have spiritual wisdom. The old locust tree just took root in the feng shui eye of the city, and it has been prosperous and lost for thousands of years.
No matter how rich and powerful the Liu Mansion is, it can't compete with the people of a city. No matter how fierce Master Liu is, it is difficult to stop the crowd's turmoil.
After the cloud fox finished speaking, he still lit a pillar of cloud incense and continued to talk about the scriptures to the old locust tree.
The sound of beating outside Liu's mansion came from afar, and the sound of "the weather is dry, be careful of the candles" has not yet gone away. The cloud fox, who was giving a lecture to an old locust tree, suddenly twitched. He stood up suddenly.
The night dew is cold, but it is still very different from the real resentment. Maybe ordinary people can't feel it. But the cloud fox with a keen sense can. When the yin qi in the courtyard is obviously abnormal, even if there are no supernatural events. The cloud fox still noticed it.
It turns out that Liu's Mansion is really not clean!
After the cloud fox said "I'm sorry, wait a minute" to the old locust tree, he followed the source of yin qi all the way and walked into a remote courtyard. Seriously, the Liu Mansion is really not small, and I don't know where that second-class master with a good reputation got so much money to buy such a big mansion. Thinking about the current imperial court, Yun Huzi really sympathizes with the emperor in Beijing, and I don't know if the emperor knows the sanctimony around him, and he asks the emperor for what to do, and what kind of Ming "loyal ministers" are all big corrupt officials.
No matter how magnificent the house is, once it is vacant, it will obviously accelerate its decay. After a long time, it is easy to attract some unclean things from ghosts and ghosts. So it seems gloomy. Especially when the house is still so big, without popularity, it is easier to become a "haunted house".
Cloud Fox saw a door with a copper lock. There was also a talisman hanging on the door.
In the backyard house, it is very abnormal to lock the courtyard with the gate, and it is very unusual to have a "ghost charm" hanging on the door. And the yard here is so remote, there must be fewer people coming. Maybe this was originally the forbidden land of Liufu.
The so-called door locks are mostly anti-gentlemen, not villains. If you enter, the door lock is useless. The cloud fox fingers are illusory, and the door lock falls in response. When the cloud fox pushed open the gate of this deserted courtyard, he gasped.
This courtyard is full of gloomy atmosphere, and the resentment is so strong that the entire deserted courtyard is not growing. In the center of the courtyard is a deep well, the deep well has been closed, there is a large piece of soul suppression stone on it, the stone is pasted with a seal, and the four bronze mirrors around the deep well are placed in turn, plus a lot of magic weapons to defend the guard, forming a large array to suppress the deep well.
What's so great in the deep well?
The cloud fox stepped forward, and after going around the deep well a few times, he touched the soul stone very curiously. The so-called soul stone is a stone taken from Mount Tai, which is just used for general feng shui to ward off evil spirits. This soul stone is engraved with the six-character mantra of Buddhism. There are also many shadowy portraits of "Tianlong Babu" on it. It's really a combination of Buddhism and Taoism, and it's foolproof. It's just that this soul stone seems to have been moved.
The cloud fox touched the inconspicuous corner of the Soul Suppression Stone. It was apparently caused by a blunt object. No wonder Liu Mansion has Yin Qi, the reason is actually here.
The cloud fox destroyed the strange magic circle around him with a few kicks, pulled out the Kaiyang Immortal Sword behind his back, kicked away the big stone with his foot, and forgot about it towards the deep well, almost being stunned by the well.
"The stench, or the stench of corpses!" The cloud fox's nose is already sensitive, and it is not strange to be caught in curiosity. A thick black yin qi rushed up to the wellhead, the cloud fox came back to his senses, held his breath, sealed with one hand, and the eight talismans flew out immediately, and the yin qi diffused abruptly stopped, and was firmly locked within a few meters around the wellhead.
The eerie crying sound sounded, the yin qi was thick, the resentment was so thick, those corpses in the deep well were obviously not normal deaths! One by one, people who looked like maids and servants floated to the ground, and when they saw the cloud fox, they were crying and kneeling on the ground begging for mercy.
A radius of a few meters was crowded with more than a dozen ghosts, and finally an old man who was obviously dressed in fancy clothes appeared in front of Yun Fox.
The rest of the unjust souls shouted one after another, but the old man sighed vigorously. After some calculations in Yun Fox's heart, he sighed and said: "You don't need to say it, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, how about the poor Dao send you to the Yin Si to complain?" “
The rest of the ghosts cried and nodded in thanks, but the old man's ghost let out a long sigh, as if hesitating. Yun Huzi persuaded him: "It's fate, your son is so good at destroying the conscience, you already have a grandson, why bother with the relationship between father and son?" Besides, it is difficult for your son to turn back now, once the incident happens, he will have to involve his relatives, and the old man will be an official all his life, isn't it clear? “
A spirit rune, a spell. A few groups of demons answered the call with the sound of chains. The ghosts are crying loudly, but they are unwilling, and they will inevitably return to dust and dust. Now that he has died, in the world of nostalgia, it is inevitable that he will be isolated from yin and yang from now on, and go to the underworld for a while.
Yun Fox used to think that the eldest master of the Liu family was a mean and unkind and vicious person, but he didn't expect that the new daughter-in-law of the old man Liu was even more powerful, and she turned out to be a member of the White Lotus Sect. The whole house has been replaced by White Lotus Sectists, does Master Liu know that his father has been thrown into a deep well by his daughter-in-law?
Maybe the children left by the ex-wife of the Liu family are not simple! Thinking that the Liu family's wealth has become the bag of the White Lotus Sect, it is so deeply hidden, how many White Lotus Sect disciples are there in this city? Once the government finds out, I don't know how many ignorant people want to be ruined and how many people want to fall to the ground!
This White Lotus Sect is really haunting! When Yunhu thought of this, he also felt that things were not simple. The deep well was hurriedly restored to its original state, the traces were erased, and the compound was hurriedly left.
Who was fighting the idea of this old locust tree?
Of course, the cloud fox knew that this thousand-year-old tree was a fragrant bait, and it was a rare magic weapon material in this world where the aura was scarce and genius treasures were hard to find. But the locust tree is a shade wood, which is a good material for nourishing souls and ghosts. Could it be that the White Lotus Sect still wants to play the Yin soldiers and paper horses of the "Taiping Dao" back then?
As soon as the sky was bright, the cloud fox pasted a talisman on the body of the old locust tree, and with a stroke of his finger, the talisman disappeared. Yun Fox said goodbye and left, returned to the inn, and fought fiercely for a long time, but he really couldn't muster up the courage to write a letter to the master, so he retreated and wrote a letter to the senior sister Yunhua, writing what happened. Yun Fox knew that his Taoism was still shallow, so he asked Yun Hua to tell the master first, not afraid of 10,000, just in case. Our Lady of the White Lotus, his old man is not something that ordinary people can deal with.
The rune paper turned into a white dove, and flapped its wings away in the light of the rising sun. In the days after their arrival, I still had to keep an eye on this place. But when they arrived, they had to run away as soon as possible, in case they ran into "Konishi" who also came, but what should I do? (To be continued.) )
