Facing Jin An's questioning.

The old Taoist priest mysteriously pulled Jin An into the main hall of the Taoist temple, as if he was afraid that the wall would have ears and be heard.

The main hall of the Taoist temple of the five visceral organs.

There are several statues of gods enshrined in total, in addition to the saints of the Three Qing Dynasties, there are also the founding patriarchs of the Five Organs Taoism.

Under the gaze of the four gods.

The old Taoist priest said mysteriously: "Little brother, there are still some hidden secrets here. ”

"Those soldiers died not easily. ”

"The son of Lord Ma Shi is called Ma San, the third in the family, and he has been in the 'Yong Camp' in Fucheng. ”

"This Ma San is very competitive, because he can eat since he was a child, his strength is greater than that of ordinary people, plus he has studied in private school for several years and knows some words, so he became a chief in the 'Yong Camp'. ”

"Shi Chang is more or less a small official, and he is in charge of ten village warriors under his hands. ”

"This time, more than half of the soldiers and villagers who went down to the Thousand Caves died, but the official propaganda was because the river suddenly swelled, causing the people who went down to the Thousand Caves to have no time to escape, so ......half of them were drowned."

"Actually, there is another hidden story here. ”

The Taoist robe of the old Taoist priest is indeed very suitable for folk activities, because it is easy to obtain the psychological cordiality of ordinary people.

Therefore, the old Taoist priest went out for a walk just now, and he had actually heard a lot of secret news from Old Man Ma's family.

"Just now, when I was comforting Master Ma's family, I accidentally learned the truth here... Those people were indeed drowned in a thousand caves, but they were not the same as ordinary drowning. ”

According to the rest of the people who escaped, at the beginning, more than 1,000 people set up camp, rested for one night, and recuperated, but the morning fog of the second morning did not dissipate, and they began to go down to a thousand caves. ”

"At the beginning, it was very smooth, there was nothing abnormal, these more than 1,000 people were scattered in the thousand caves, although they could not explore all the caves, but they had the advantage of numbers, and they continued to explore the depths steadily, and they could finally find the end. ”

And along the way, a lot of floating corpses were also found. ”

"Those floating corpses, who have heard that they have escaped, describe that their skin is soaked white, but there is no obvious sign of decay, in short, they are very evil. ”

"But if you want to talk about the most evil sect, it must belong to these thousand caves. ”

"There is a cave inside, the caves are connected, the more people go inside, the more they find that this underwater cave extends in all directions, and they can't go to the end no matter how they go, it's just like a maze cave, little brother, you say that the evil door is not an evil door? That is more than 1,000 people entering the cave together, not more than 100 people, more than 1,000 people are not a few, tsk. ”

As I walked further inside, I encountered more and more corpses along the way, and at some point, a layer of mist began to float in the cave. ”

"This layer of mist is not a corpse, the person is not poisoned, and the person is not unusual, the officer who led the team thought that it was a mist caused by the heavy cold and humidity in the cave, so he didn't take it seriously at first. ”

Later, the officer who led the team calculated the hour, and it was almost dark outside, and it was not suitable to stay in the cave for the night, so he planned to order the people to retreat first, but this retreat went wrong. ”

"There is a cave under this thousand caves, it seems that time passes slower than outside, the sky outside is already dark, when more than 1,000 people withdraw from half of the people, the broken river, without warning, suddenly soars, pouring into the dry riverbed, directly leaving half of the people who have not had time to withdraw, all drowned under the cave, hey. ”

"Listening to the people who escaped, the scene was terrible, many people didn't have time to escape, and they didn't even scream, they were washed back into the cave by the pouring river, which was unbearable. ”

According to what the old Taoist priest said next, this time there were such heavy casualties, and none of the dozen or so cavalry guards, including the deputy commander, escaped the catastrophe.

Those officers who led the team, because when they advanced, they were at the forefront, so when they retreated and turned to go in the direction, they were at the back and were responsible for the rear.

As a result, before he could withdraw from the cave, he was drowned in the cave by the back-filled river, and no one escaped.

This is a big blow to morale.

The remaining half of the people who fled in embarrassment eventually fled back to Fucheng.

After that, in order to stabilize the people's hearts, the government concealed this matter and was not allowed to mention it to the people.

Only the relatives of the victims were notified.

And even the relatives of the victims did not know about the series of strange things that happened under the cave, and only said that they were drowned by the river backwater.

Later, there was a next-door neighbor who was also a fellow villager, and when he saw that Old Man Ma not only sent a white-haired person to a black-haired person, but also couldn't even see his son's last face and corpse, he couldn't bear it, so he secretly told the truth about Ma San's death to Old Man Ma's family.

All of them were drowned on the same day they went down to the cave, but the rest of them fled back to the city, and then sent cavalry guards to investigate and confirm them, and then to the officials to count the roster, which took some time in between, so it was not until today, two days later, that they went door to door to inform them of their deaths.

Then, Old Man Ma's family found the old Taoist.

Tell the truth.

They begged the old Taoist priest to summon Ma San's soul and let them meet Ma San for the last time.

But even the old Taoist priest couldn't do anything about it.

Because Ma San died underwater, the water is black, it can suppress the yin qi, and the drowning person will be trapped underwater forever and will never be able to go ashore.

Unless a substitute ghost is found, the water ghost can go ashore.

Therefore, even if the old Taoist priest wanted to summon the soul, he could not summon the soul of Ma San.

This time, the Yinyi River broke off strangely overnight, and the river was bizarrely restored overnight, and hundreds of people were swallowed up.

How many families have experienced life and death, losing their husbands, sons, and fathers, Jin An and the old Taoist priest sighed.

......

Ho Fu.

As one of the three major medicinal herb merchants in Fucheng, the style of this He Mansion is as majestic as the two stone lions in front of the door, with high walls and green tiles, loops and six, carved beams and painted buildings.

He Mansion occupies a large area, even in the city is one of the best, rockeries, bridges, flowing water, flower beds, strange flowers and trees, it is simply prosperous like a small palace.

It was late at night.

Zhen'e is a subordinate in Hefu, because of her poor family, she was sold into He Mansion by her father and mother since she was a child, at that time the family rations were not enough, and only when she entered a large family to give people a current person, she could eat enough.

Zhen'e never blamed her parents.

On the contrary, I think it's good to give people people in Hefu, at least they can eat enough, and the old lady of Hefu is not thin on his subordinates.

I was able to go home and visit my family one day a month.

After working for 10 years, you can still get paid.

So Zhen'e is really content.

In Hefu, the lower house lives in the lower courtyard, and in one lower courtyard, there are several lower rooms.

And in the lower room where Zhen'e is located, there are a total of six people living in it.

The six of them are all in the clothes room of Hefu Huan, responsible for giving people pulp laundry, bed sheets, etc., I don't know why, after dark today, Zhen'e lay on the bed and tossed and turned, and never fell asleep.

On the contrary, the other five people in the same lower room slept soundly.

Just when Zhen'e can't sleep, pop, snap......

Footsteps could be heard outside the lower room.

Zhen'e hurriedly covered her head with the quilt, she thought to herself, the only person who hasn't slept so late is the old mama, and the old mama has been sold into He Mansion for more than 40 years.

The housekeeper of the He Mansion saw that the old grandmother was old and couldn't do heavy things, so he asked the old grandmother to be responsible for managing their lower courtyard.

And when the old lady is old, she is prone to insomnia, so she often can't sleep at night and gets up to inspect them to see who doesn't sleep and chat, delaying getting up early the next day to serve He Fu.

The old lady is very strict with them, so the sisters in this lower courtyard are very afraid of the old mother.

Zhen'e covered herself in the quilt, her head was stuffed on the quilt and eavesdropped for a while, and when she felt that the old woman's footsteps were far away, she immediately took the quilt away.

The person was covered in the quilt for a while, and he was already sweating profusely from the heat.

She gasped for air, almost suffocating herself under the covers.

But who knows, papa, papa......

She had just put her head out of the quilt, and the sound of footsteps walking far away in the yard actually came again, which frightened Zhen'e to cover her head in the quilt again, her heart was pounding, and she was so nervous.

It seems that the old lady saw that there was no movement in the lower room, and the footsteps lingered at the door for a while, and then turned and left.

Zhen'e hid in the quilt and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But it's too stuffy in the quilt.

The head was kept in the quilt, and the person was hot and suffocating.

Zhen'e didn't hold back for long, and she felt that she couldn't hold it anymore, so she secretly lifted the corner of the quilt and wanted to quietly breathe a few breaths of fresh air.

But when Zhen'e secretly lifted the corner of the quilt, there was a cold moonlight, through the open door, shining into the lower room.

The night breeze in the lower courtyard also blew into the lower room along the open door, making it a little cold in the lower room.

Zhen'e looked at the door that Qing Leng pushed open, her eyes curious.

When was this door pushed open by the old woman?

After the old lady pushed open the door to check, she actually forgot to close the door before leaving......

Zhen'e cautiously poked her head out, glanced at her sisters who were still asleep, and she casually put on her coat, then got up to close the door.

Before closing the door, Zhen'e looked outside, the yard was dark, empty, cold, the old grandmother's room, black rumbling, the door was closed, as if she was asleep, and people did not wake up in the middle of the night?

Zhen'e looked curious and puzzled.

Whew-

A gust of night wind blew into the courtyard, Zhen'e shivered from the cold, she didn't think about it anymore, quickly closed the door, and went back into the warm quilt to cover her body.

It's finally warmer......

This time it's also strange, she couldn't sleep before, but this time she fell asleep quickly.

Tonight, she had a very strange dream.

In her dreams, she dreamed that the room was very lively, as if there were many people standing.

The people were talking loudly, loud and loud, talking and laughing, pointing at her in their dreams, and the louder they talked, the louder they laughed.

Zhen'e wanted to try to see who those people were, but those people were some distance away from her, and their figures were blurry from beginning to end, making it impossible for her to see those people clearly.

Instead, she tried to hear what the people were saying loudly, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

It's like... Between her and those people, there was a hazy veil, and she could see those people, but she couldn't see them clearly.

Faced with such a strange dream, Zhen'e was a little nervous and afraid.

She struggled desperately to wake up from her dream.

But people just can't wake up.

The people who entered the room pointed at her as she struggled on the bed, laughing louder and louder......

......

Next.

Jin An, who has been eating peaches for more than a month, feels a little tired of eating, so he plans to change his taste today.

Today he grows apples.

The jujube tree in the front yard of the Taoist temple has new flowers from the old tree, but the fruit is a crisp and red apple.

After Jin An shared the apples with the old Taoist priest, the sword sharpening, and the goat, he continued to go to Uncle Lin opposite the Taoist temple to "share the spoils".

In the past month or so, Uncle Lin has taken care of the Taoist temple a lot, and he has not forgotten to introduce the old Taoist priest to do any Dharma and supernatural death, so this kindness has always been remembered by Jin An.

Maybe these are just a gesture for Uncle Lin, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.

But Jin An kept it in mind.

Don't be small.

To be a man, you still have to pay attention to gratitude and gratitude.

Of course, Jin An is not purely bored to find Uncle Lin every day, every time he looks for Uncle Lin, he is asking about all kinds of things in Fucheng, so as to understand Fucheng.

Because he will live in the city for a long time, digest the yin virtue on his body, and accumulate the foundation.

After all, no matter what, his foundation in this world is still too shallow, and this world is not peaceful at all.

Just after Jin An and the old Taoist priest had a meeting in the coffin shop, and then returned to the Taoist temple, the coffin shop ushered in a new business early in the morning.

It was a maid from a wealthy family.

If Jin An was still in the coffin shop, he must know this person, and the maid was actually one of the maids next to Mrs. He who appeared in the coffin shop a few days ago.

"Mr. Lin, my wife ordered me to order a coffin. "The maid next to Mrs. He asked for a coffin as soon as she entered the store.

The maid's face was not good-looking, and her complexion was a little pale, which was frightened.

Uncle Lin raised his eyes and looked at the maid: "Then did your wife say, black coffin, white coffin, red coffin, yellow coffin, what kind of coffin do you want?"

"People die differently, and coffins are different colors. ”

Uncle Lin's words are like words in words.

When the maid heard Uncle Lin's words, her face immediately changed, and she lowered her head to hide the fear in her eyes: "My wife wants Mr. Lin to come to the door to see which coffin she needs." ”

"At the same time, I would also like to ask Mr. Lin to introduce the Taoist master or monk to the mansion to collect the corpse and chant the scriptures to surpass the soul. ”

When Uncle Lin heard this, he didn't think about it, raised his hand and pointed to the Five Organs Taoist Temple opposite the coffin shop, and said, "The master that your wife needs is in the Five Organs Taoist Temple opposite." ”

"I'm guarding this shop alone, I can't leave, you go directly to the two Taoist masters in the Taoist temple opposite, after they see the corpse, they will know which coffin to arrange. ”

Uncle Lin's words made the maid's eyes subconsciously look at the incense and cold Taoist temple on the other side of the coffin shop.
