Chapter 732: When things go wrong, there must be demons
Fang Shi's guess is based on the fact that the feng shui in the village is really not bad, and the feng shui is not bad means that there will be no problems with this piece of landscape itself, and there will be no such thing as normal day and night full of evil qi, feng shui is the result of the balance of yin and yang, so once it is out of balance, it is the overall problem.
What's more, when strange events occur in the village, some are outside the village, and some are inside the village, this strange phenomenon is difficult to explain, but it also shows from the side that things have nothing to do with feng shui, and it is more likely that there is some kind of moving factor. Fang Shi's first suspicion was naturally people, but although this village is not a closed village in the mountains, there are really not many outsiders, not to mention that an outsider has been making trouble here for several months without being discovered, this kind of thing is even more unreliable.
As for whether it will be the people inside the village who are deliberately making trouble, Fang Shi's chaotic rotation this morning is not just to look at the scenery or feng shui, but more importantly, to find out if there is anyone who can control the magic weapon, it is a pity that there is no such person in the village.
After eliminating these factors, of course, it was not enough to draw conclusions, so Fang Shi arranged for Qing Yan to collect and sort out the causes and consequences, time and place of all abnormal events, and by the way, he also sent Jiang Xiaoxian to him as an assistant, and a local person led the way to find the owner.
Fang Shi didn't understand that Qing Yan and Yun Tian Dao had not done similar work before, could it be that they had really been warlocks for a long time and had forgotten that they could use statistical analysis to do things? Qing Yan is a college student, can his thinking be so rigid?
In front of outsiders. Fang Shi didn't want to ask Qing Yan, so he had to send him to do this work, letting him know that the warlock's vision should actually be very broad, why not use the methods that can be used.
And he himself has to go to several places where the incident happened outside the village to see, Jiang Guosheng has already accompanied Fang Shi for a morning, even if his health is good, he is already a handful of years, Fang Shi did not dare to work him anymore, but asked Jiang Guosheng to find another person, as a result, Jiang Guosheng found his eldest grandson, that is, Jiang Xiaoxian's father Jiang Youzhi to be Fang Shi's guide.
Jiang Guosheng had two sons. They are all dead. There are three grandchildren, two of whom live in other places, and there is only this eldest grandson Jiang Youzhi in the village, who is also fifty years old. Looks pretty good. I think I've practiced it too.
Jiang Youzhi has lived in the village all his life. He looked a little nervous in front of Fang Shi, especially when he saw Fang Shi talking and laughing with his grandfather, he couldn't help but put himself in the position of Fang Shi's junior.
Follow the stone path carved out of the hillside, and go up and down the steps. After a long detour, I finally came to the edge of a stone wall, which was disconnected when it extended to the road, but there was no portal on the road.
"These walls seem to be old?"
"Yes, these are all very old stone walls, according to my grandfather, these stone walls were built in the early years to defend against wild beasts and robbers, and now the wild beasts on the mountain are gone, and no one has repaired the stone walls, and some people have secretly demolished the stones on the stone wall and moved them home to build a pigsty."
"Hehe, there is still this kind of thing, do the people in the village care? This is everyone's public property. â
"The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, uh, just listen to that, hehe"
Fang Shi smiled faintly, this Jiang Youzhi is too timid, and he doesn't have the pride of Naizu at all, Jiang Guosheng can be regarded as having no successor.
"I can understand that there are many people who have everything, but the main thing is selfishness."
"There's no way, if one person has selfishness, everyone's strength won't be able to make one place, this village is really not as harmonious as it seems on the surface, otherwise my grandfather wouldn't have been forced to go to Qingcheng."
Fang Shi nodded clearly, no wonder he had such a big fire in the old man's yard just now, it turned out that these people stepped on the old man's sore spot again.
"By the way, what's going on with the ancient burial mound on the mountain?"
"The ancient tomb on the mountain was found when the ancestral tomb was built in Bali Village, it is said that it is the tomb group of the ancient ethnic minorities, the old people in the village say that those ethnic minorities practice witchcraft, so the tomb group is under a vicious curse, so the village people are strictly ordered not to move the tomb grass and trees. It's just that people are bold now, and there are people from outside the mountains, and traces of theft and excavation will often be found there since a few decades ago. â
"Oh, didn't you attract the government's archaeological team?"
"I came, but I said that it was all stolen and dug up, and it had no archaeological value, and then I didn't come."
"Oh, and did you know that the tomb poachers were punished or cursed?"
"These are all rumors, who knows if it's true or not, but the people in the village still believe it, so no one dares to go there to mess around, if a child runs there, the beating can't run away."
"Can you show me there later?"
"This is a bit far away, or I will go again tomorrow, or I won't be able to come back before dark."
"Okay, let's go see a few strange places first."
The two talked casually, and came out of the village to a bamboo forest, where there was no decent road, only a path that was stepped out of the forest, one side of the path was a bamboo forest, and the other side was a miscellaneous tree, which was strangely distinct.
"Master Fang, look here, the first time the child fell asleep in this stone nest, that time almost didn't scare the third aunt's family to death, who knew that the little guy actually slept in the grass nest all night, except for being bitten by mosquitoes, he was fine."
Fang Shi silently checked around, this place is very ordinary, the ground is also very dry and hard, it doesn't look like it has been turned over, the surrounding trees are not big, there should be nothing hidden, and more importantly, there is no abnormal atmosphere here, of course, time has passed for so long, and it is impossible to leave any traces.
"Did you come here to check it out?"
"No, it was only after the disappearance of the six sons that everyone came here to check again, but they didn't find anything."
"Oh, alright, let's go somewhere else."
This time it was a long walk, because the village uses a lot of bamboo, so the bamboo on the mountain is cut in turn. Now the cutting site is a little far from the village, and after cutting it, it is made into bamboo and discharged into the river, and then stopped by the river.
Nothing was found in the bamboo forest, and the two places were almost a thirty-minute walk away, and the two places had few features in common except for the woods.
Next, I walked to two more places where the incident occurred, and the result was the same, there was nothing particularly noteworthy, and the common feature was that there were woods around the place of the incident.
Ashlar found nothing. Qing Yan, who conducted surveys and statistics in the village, also had no clue. The log sheet in his hand recorded about sixteen anomalous events, one or two of which may be questionable, but none of the others had any obvious commonalities.
The time of the incident was day and night, and the location was all over the village. The target is young and old. And animals. Looking at the pile of papers in his hand, Qing Yan scratched his head in sorrow.
He didn't doubt Fang Shi's judgment, but even Fang Shi's judgment was correct. If you can't find the culprit, it will be a waste in the end. The villagers are very realistic, don't look at the villagers are very respectful now, when they first came, and when their master first came, they were also like this, but once the matter was not resolved, their faces immediately changed, these villagers are actually not kind at all.
Jiang Xiaoxian still worked hard to make a delicious meal in the evening, although there are not many types of ingredients in the village, but it is better than freshness, and Jiang Xiaoxian's craftsmanship is really good, today Fang Shi did not drink with Jiang Guosheng, after eating, Qing Yan hurriedly handed over his investigation report to Fang Shi.
Fang Shi looked at it carefully for a while, squinting his eyes and thinking, Qing Yan waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask with some concern, "Elder Fang, what did you find?" â
"Well, you didn't notice that all of these things happened when it wasn't raining."
"Huh? Does this matter? â
Fang Shi glanced at the three people on the side of the table: "Why doesn't it matter?" If you think about it, these events took place in different places outside the village, and it's clear that there was something going on."
"Something?"
Jiang Xiaoxian didn't know what she thought, her face turned a little pale, and her body subconsciously moved in the direction of Qing Yan, Jiang Guosheng waved his hand, took a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and lit it for himself, and said in a very tough tone: "Could it be that someone is making trouble?" Don't let me catch it, or he'll get the out. â
Qing Yan glanced at Jiang Xiaoxian comfortingly, then looked at Fang Shihu and asked suspiciously, "Elder Fang, is he afraid of leaving traces if he doesn't act on a rainy day?" â
Fang Shi shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, by the way, did you hear anything special when you were investigating in the village?" â
"Something special? What's the matter? Qing Yan asked inexplicably.
Fang Shi smiled mysteriously: "Didn't you hear? Probably not, they must be looking for a certain magic weapon that may be stored in ZĂ i and Mo, which is very valuable! â
Qing Yan was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, after making trouble for a long time, Fang Shi deliberately said something in front of everyone at noon today, saying that there was a magic weapon hidden in the village, it turned out that he wanted to mobilize everyone to find it.
Jiang Guosheng quickly understood, he laughed and said: "They definitely don't care about letting them do other things, but when it comes to making money, one runs faster than the other." If there really is such a thing as zĂ i, I believe it will be found out by everyone soon. â
Fang Shi smiled slightly: "I'm just going to see if there is such a thing." â
"Taigong, even if someone finds out, I'm afraid they won't sue us."
Jiang Xiaoxian said with some hesitation, Fang Shi nodded with a smile: "Yes, but as long as someone finds out, things must not be hidden, you forget that this thing will affect the people around you, I don't believe that the people in the village can control this kind of thing." â
Qing Yan glanced at Fang Shi, this elder is really a ghost, it would be better for him to be honest in front of him in the future.
However, Jiang Xiaoxian soon discovered another problem: "In this case, these things should not be deliberately done by someone, if he can't control it himself, how can he take it out to harm others?" â
Fang Shi grinned, spread his hands and said, "So I also tend that it is not the villagers who are doing this." â
"Since they are not villagers and there are no outsiders, who is doing these things? It can't really be a mountain elf ghost, right? â
Jiang Xiaoxian's face turned a little pale as she spoke, she could be frightened by what she said, this girl is really afraid of ghosts!
After listening to Jiang Xiaoxian's words, Jiang Guosheng and Qing Yan looked at Fang Shi together, Fang Shi blinked mysteriously, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then slowly spoke under the gaze of everyone. (To be continued......)
