Not long after, a small truck stopped outside Dong's house, which was the kind of small truck that transports fruits and vegetables.

Lao Wang is a fat man, looking at Lao Wang's expression, he doesn't seem to know about the evil things in the Dong family.

Dong Laosi explained a few words to Lao Wang, then looked at Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei, and nodded at the two.

Dong Laosi said to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, you should tell them in person!" ”

Lao Wang licked his lips, "You also know that there is something wrong with those bricks, but how do you see it?!" ”

Listening to Lao Wang's words, Zhou Xiaolong and Ouyang Lei could both hear that there was really something wrong here, so Zhou Xiaolong urged Lao Wang to hurry up and tell them carefully.

Lao Wang said: "In fact, these bricks are really old bricks, and they were demolished from the old buildings in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and they are genuine antiques......

Lao Wang said that he didn't get into the main topic for a long time, and Ouyang Lei couldn't help but urge him to say: "You directly said what those bricks were used for before, and whether there was an accident in the original building......

Lao Wang thought for a while, "If you want to talk about those bricks, they should be made up of three parts of the building, two of which are ordinary houses, and one is a big stage......

What, the stage!?

Hearing Lao Wang say this, Dong Laosi was nervous and asked loudly: "What went wrong with that stage, right?!" ”

Lao Wang scratched his head and said: "I heard before, but I just heard that a few decades ago, when I was singing, the stage collapsed, and the audience was fine, but several people who sang on the stage were killed and injured, and later, the stage was not rebuilt, because it is said that some strange things happened......

Zhou Xiaolong asked Lao Wang, "What strange happened?" ”

Lao Wang looked at Dong Laosi and said: "That is, sometimes at night, some people will see a few people in red and willow green singing on the dilapidated stage, but as soon as they get closer, they can't see anything......

Ouyang Lei asked again: "The accident on the stage only stoned the singer to death, didn't he kill the people watching the play?!" ”

Lao Wang shook his head, "No, it can't be, because the stage is very high, and the people watching the play are sitting below, so it's easy to run away...... But ......"

Dong Laosi said to Lao Wang angrily: "But what, if you have something to say, hurry up!" ”

Lao Wang said hesitantly: "When I went to buy bricks with Boss Dong, someone said that when I dismantled the stage, I found a hedgehog nest, and a wall fell down, killing the nest of small hedgehogs......"

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaolong slowly exhaled, the reason why the Dong family made such a collective evil on the Qingming Festival was because of that nest of hedgehogs? !

The hedgehog is also a very spiritual small animal, and among the five immortals in the legend, it is revered as the "Bai Family Immortal", because the longer the hedgehog lives, the thorns on its body will turn white.

And in folklore, there are not a few stories of hedgehogs becoming essences.

recalled that the little old woman holding a little hedgehog in her arms was probably an old hedgehog that had become a sperm.

……

The Dong family's mansion, the situation inside is really complicated enough, except for normal people, those spirits are divided into several parts.

The spirits of the ancestors of the Dong family are counted as a part, the scenes that collapsed and were stoned to death on the stage are counted as a part, and there is a nest of hedgehog spirits that have become spirits, of course, this cannot exclude those lonely souls and wild ghosts who came in together and were in chaos.

Except for the ancestors of the Dong family, the rest of the dirty things seemed to be under the command of a spirit, and that spirit was the little old woman holding a little hedgehog that Zhou Xiaolong had seen in the third courtyard.

Obviously, the little old woman was a hedgehog spirit with a good sense of Taoism, and she was also a very wise and respected spirit.

The old hedgehog spirit, who has lived under the stage for I don't know how long, has bred a litter of hedgehogs of different sizes.

The hedgehogs lived very well there, and when Dong Boss bought bricks, because he wanted to tear down the wall, the nest of hedgehogs was killed by the Dong family by mistake.

There is a debtor and a debtor, so the old hedgehog who has some Taoism has a grudge in his heart, and took advantage of the Halloween Festival of Qingming to gather the lonely ghosts of the dead actors on the stage to seek revenge on the Dong family, which should be what happened.

In order to clean up all the dirty things in the Dong family's mansion, Zhou Xiaolong felt that he had to do a ritual to exorcise evil spirits, maybe he could clean up all the dirty things.

A lot of props are needed to do things, so Zhou Xiaolong made a list on the paper one by one and asked the Dong family to purchase them overnight.

Fortunately, Qingtang Town is relatively conservative, and there are several small shops in the town that buy incense, candles, and paper money, and the Dong family purchased all the props in time.

Under Zhou Xiaolong's command, the altar was quickly set up at the door of the Sanjin courtyard.

Zhou Xiaolong was not idle, he lit all the incense and candles on the altar himself, and the whole courtyard looked not so dark.

Dong Laosi asked Zhou Xiaolong, "If it's not bright enough, do you need to turn on the lights in the yard?" ”

Zhou Xiaolong shook his head and said, "No need, if it's too bright, it's easy to anger those dirty things, it's better to be dim." ”

After waiting for the altar to be basically completed, Zhou Xiaolong took a deep breath, waved the wooden ghost stick in his hand, and began to take steps under his feet.

Ouyang Lei has always been behind, helping Zhou Xiaolong deliver things, and seems to have become a capable helper.

Before the official opening of the altar, Zhou Xiaolong chanted a mantra in his mouth and threw out two pieces of yellow table paper, which turned around twice in the air and burned quickly.

When the ashes fell near the candles, the candles no longer swayed with the wind in the courtyard, but stabilized, and the light emitted was much brighter than before, like a bright lamp.

Until this time, the altar has been successfully opened.

Zhou Xiaolong froze, took a deep breath, stared at the door of the courtyard of Sanjin, and said loudly: "The ghosts who broke into the Dong family's mansion listen to the truth, Xuanmen disciple Zhou Xiaolong is here, to point out a clear path for you, if you are willing to cooperate, then I am willing to use this altar as a road, use the Xuanmen Dao method to escort you, and send you into reincarnation!! ”

After saying these rather threatening words, Zhou Xiaolong shook the wooden ghost stick in his hand and pointed forward, and the flame on the front candle flew up.

A candle flame flew out in an arc in the dark night, and then landed at the door of the Sanjin courtyard, as if a bright lamp was lit there.

"I've opened the light for you, make a living here, don't want to be scattered, don't ......come out quickly," Zhou Xiaolong continued.

Zhou Xiaolong is worthy of being an orthodox Xuanmen disciple, his voice is full of confidence, and his voice is echoing throughout the house.
