I was shocked: something must have happened to those people!

A few days later, the police brought people to investigate the whereabouts of these people. At the insistence of the old host, they invited a spirit medium...... "Master Yanfa said and looked at me, "It was the old lady of the Du family, under her leadership, several police officers entered the bamboo forest, found the bodies of those people, and brought them out!" ”

Hearing this, I finally understood why the old lady knew that there was a "thunder wood" here. I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said, "I almost forgot, the old lady said that she wanted to meet you, Master!" ”

Master Fa Yan smiled with relief and said with emotion: "It's been twenty years, you should let it go!" Sins, sins, sins! ”

I looked at him in bewilderment—could it be that there was something else going on twenty years ago? I didn't bother to look into it, so I took out the jewelry box from my bag and begged, "Master, I have come this time to be entrusted by the old lady, please help take care of this thing!" ”

Master Fa Yan looked at the thing in my hand in surprise and asked, "This is the wrench you lifted last time?" ”

"It's been burned out, but the old lady says it's too angry, and wants to use your stone tower to suppress it for a while!"

"Come with me!"

Master Yanfa led me back to the stone pagoda again, and I looked at the bamboo forest, and my heart suddenly twitched—if it weren't for the brass bell that dispelled those unjust souls, would I have ...... Hiss, I suddenly feel so much pain in my stomach!

"Put it down!" Master Fa Yan said.

I held the jewelry box, squatted in front of the stone tower, thought about it, and placed it next to the incense burner. Suddenly, the bamboos near the stone pagoda swayed violently, and the jewelry box shook and fell to the ground. I hurriedly stood up and took a step back, but the vision didn't last and everything quickly calmed down.

"Nan no Amitabha" Master Fa Yan clasped his hands together and looked at the stone pagoda with a sad face.

"Master......" I called out uneasily.

Master Fa Yan said with a worried face: "Since that day, I took a piece of bamboo and gave it to the donor, and this forest has frequent visions...... Sins, sins, sins! ”

I couldn't help feeling guilty, I had the heart to make up for it but I couldn't do it, so I asked weakly: "How did this "thunderwood" come about?" ”

"It is said that when the people who went up to the mountain to plant bamboo came here, they saw three large stones stacked on top of each other in the clearing, and blackened bamboos were inserted around them. Later, someone found that there were several old bamboos nearby that were split by Lei, and it was guessed that those bamboos were broken from above. ”

"Is that the bamboo blocks down there?"

Master Fa Yan seemed to hesitate a little, and replied: "The old man heard that the old master had already rotted the bamboo blocks back then, and then the wanderer sent a box containing twelve pieces of red bamboo wood. As for this stone tower, it was built 20 years ago. ”

Twelve? There were ten pieces in the stone tower, and one was given to me, but what about the other one?

I was so anxious that I bent down to pick up the jewelry box that had fallen on the ground, and I didn't know if I should put it back for a while—by the way, the Xia family!

I straightened up with the jewelry box and asked cautiously, "Master, do you know the Xia family?" ”

A trace of surprise flashed in Master Fa Yan's eyes, he shook his head, and said uncomfortably: "The old man has never heard of it! It's not too early, so if you don't dislike it, you can have a meal at this temple! With that, he turned away, seemingly deliberately avoiding the topic.

After much hesitation, I followed Master Fa Yan away and put the jewelry box in my bag - judging from the situation just now, I was afraid that this thing would cause another incident. But what to do? Alas, I'll ask the old lady when I get back!

I hadn't eaten for a day, and I saw myself hungry and embarrassed in the innocent smiles of the two little novices. After the meal, I hurried down the mountain.

"Miss Lin!" Lao Zhang greeted him and asked anxiously, "Are you okay?" ”

"Uncle Zhang, why are you here?"

"Madame is worried, let me pick you up!" Lao Zhang said as he walked.

I got into the car, sleepiness hit, and I fell asleep. In a daze, I don't know if I dreamed it or saw it...... An old monk?

"Who?" I dreamed of it.

"What's wrong, Miss Lin?" Lao Zhang glanced in the rearview mirror and sighed in his heart: Alas, the girl who made evil!

In the evening, the car stopped in front of the gate of Li's house. I walked in alone and rang the doorbell, and after a while a middle-aged woman opened the door for me.

"Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Aunt Zhang!"

"Is it Lin Shan? Come on in! Zhang Yufen shouted.

"Then you go in!" The middle-aged woman gave me a strange look and let me in.

I walked through the entrance and came to the living room, Zhang Yufen came over and took my hand, and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

I shook my head: "What about Grandpa Li?" ”

"The old man is resting in the bedroom, come with me!" Zhang Yufen pulled me away and said, "If it's good, I can't get in touch, but it's bad for us!" ”

I smiled perfunctorily and didn't say anything more until I entered the bedroom and saw Mr. Li lying on the bed, so I shouted: "Grandpa Li!"

Li Lao wanted to get up, he looked a little emotional, and the girl standing next to him immediately comforted him: "Grandpa, you slow down!" ”

"This is my daughter Li Na!" Zhang Yufen said that she pulled me forward, "Dad, you talk, I'll go see Zhenwei!" ”

Zhang Yufen took Li Na out and closed the door, Li Lao said in a hoarse voice: "Sit!" ”

I sat down on a chair next to me and waited for Mr. Li to get down to business. After a while, he said leisurely: "Alas, after being closed from the ghost gate, I have let go of some things!" When he saw that I didn't talk, he continued to talk to himself, "This time, I'm sorry for you!" …… It's my fault! ”

Li Lao's speech speed was very slow, his voice was very soft, and he looked a little struggling after saying just a few sentences. I couldn't help but ask, "Did you come to me to tell me about the wrench?" ”

Li Lao stared at me, his eyes were a little sluggish, and after waiting for a while, he said in a deep voice: "This matter has been in my heart for many years, and I don't know where to start...... So, you ask, I'll answer! ”

I don't really have anything to ask at this time, and if I could, I would like to go home and get some sleep. I don't know why, I feel very uneasy. I thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me where the box with the wrench came from?" ”

"Box?" Li Lao looked at the ceiling, as if he had fallen into a memory, and he muttered: "That year, my son took the wrench to find his in-laws, I knew that the wrench was unknown, and when I found that it was missing, I took my son to get it back...... I was so uneasy for a few days that I always felt that something was going to happen, so I went to the lake with my wrench and wanted to throw it away...... I didn't throw myself into the lake much...... Later, someone passed by and rescued me, and he told me not to ...... I was also given a box for me to hold...... Tell me not to open ......"

I waited for a long time, but Li Lao didn't say anything again, so I had to ask, "Who is he?" Is it the Xia family? ”

"The Xia family?" Li Lao's voice became weaker and weaker, and he thought for a long time before he said, "It seems that his surname is Xia...... Old Xia ......"

I got up and comforted and said, "Grandpa Li, you can rest first!" I'll talk about this when you get better! I covered the quilt for him, turned and walked out.
