After entering Wuliuzhuang, Xiao Zhuo and Xu Shiji talked to each other about the past over the years, and also learned why Xu Shiji and Wang Junke gathered here. It turned out that as early as three years ago, Xu Shiji decided to leave the Taoist temple to help the world because he had heard too much of the world's sadness and pain in the Taoist temple, but when he went down the mountain, he saw that the world was suffering from forced labor, and gradually became a little powerless. At that time, he thought: With his own strength, no matter how hard he tries, he is only saving one person, and if the world is firm, if he can be liberated, how can he do it alone? While he was tormented by this thought, he came to the house of his friend Wang Junke, who was suffering from the headache of taking in too many refugees.

At that time, Xu Shiji knew that Wang Junke's headache, although it was different from what he was worried about on the surface, was essentially the same, and it was all caused by the heavy service of the imperial court! It is precisely because of the heavy conscription that the people will flee, but if they flee, how to survive is a problem, although Wang Junke can take in some people, but Wang Junke is also an ordinary person after all, no matter how solid his family is, he can't withstand such a squander, and it is not a long-term solution after all. After thinking about it, the two decided to do something to rob the rich and help the poor, but for the sake of safety, they only occupied the mountains and robbed the road on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of the first month of the month, robbing the rich and not the poor. And the days outside these three days, they make a living by running inns, but this kind of days are okay at the beginning, and after a long time, those rich people have also found some ways, and they began to play the idea of inns. However, they didn't do anything too desperately, and since they were seeking money, they only took some money. If the guest who lost the property is really urgent, or the lost thing is particularly valuable, the innkeeper will also notify the Wuliuzhuang side to return it, or secretly give the person who lost the property only a voice and ask them to go to a specific place to retrieve the item. It's just that in this way, with the frequent occurrence of incidents, it also attracted the attention of the local government, fortunately, Xu Shiji accidentally discovered the strangeness of the feng shui layout of Wuliuzhuang, which allowed everyone to escape, and later regarded Wuliuzhuang as a gathering place.

"Brother Xu Dao, I didn't expect to see you for six years, and you have learned to read feng shui!" When Xiao Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but look at Xu Shiji differently. Just because the science of feng shui belongs to the celestial phenomena and the soul, although there are some legends in the world, but they are all basic methods of looking at mountains and waters, and it is difficult to get yin and yang. And the feng shui layout of Wuliuzhuang is obviously beyond the scope of the world's feng shui magicians, Xu Shiji can even see this, I really don't know if it's blind!

"Brother Xiao! Don't make fun of me, I've just read some books on this subject, when I first came to Wuliuzhuang, I was also very curious about why there were clouds and fog here at night, until later one of my clothes was blown to the roof, I went up to get it when I noticed that the location of the five willow trees outside Wuliuzhuang actually just occupied the five positions of Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen and Kan in Wuliuzhuang, all said that the most important thing in building a house and building a courtyard is feng shui, you say, how can you build a yard to block your own feng shui? So I concluded that there must be something strange about this house, and that night I broke a peach tree and tried it with Brother Wang at night, and sure enough, when I followed him, I couldn't get out of the clouds at all, and when he followed me, he came out in less than half an hour. ”

Mahogany! Xiao Zhuo then understood why when he chased after those people in the inn, why those people could easily get rid of him in the clouds. Legend has it that when Kuafu was day by day, due to fatigue, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the cane he held, and later Kuafu fell into the West Sea with the sun, and the cane fell to the west coast to take root, turning into a ten-mile peach forest, and the peach wood in the world also has the ability to suppress evil spirits. Presumably, those people were carrying peach wood with them, so they could avoid being confused by the clouds, and he didn't notice the strangeness of the clouds when he first chased them, and when they reflected, those people had already returned to Wuliuzhuang. However, Xiao Zhuo didn't care about these things after he figured them out, what he cared more about was the position occupied by the five willow trees that Xu Shiji said.

"Brother Xu Dao, wait!" Xiao Zhuo stopped Xu Shiji from continuing to speak, got up and walked to the eaves and jumped onto the roof, looking around, sure enough, as Xu Shiji said, the position of the five willow trees just occupied the five positions of Qian, Kun, Xun, Zhen, and Kan in Wuliuzhuang, and he was also taken aback.

The world attaches the most importance to feng shui when building garden houses, among which the dry position is the sky, and even the spiritual position, the sky is auspicious and blessed; Kun is the earth, and the earth is pregnant with vitality and longevity; Xun is the wind, and the wind blows far away and spreads for eternity; The earthquake position is thunder, and the thunder shock is avoided; The position is water, and the moist side is famous; Leaving the position is fire, and the fire becomes a feast and a prosperous family; Gen is a mountain, and the mountain sits like a solid hundred generations; The exchange of the position is Ze, and Zephi is the real name of the world. That is to say, in such a place of eight places, there must be no evil things to suppress, and the place where the eight places are complete is the best choice for building houses, and Wuliuzhuang is built in such a remote way, presumably the people who built it also know this. It's just that for some reason, at this time in Wuliuzhuang, five of the eight spiritual sources were actually cut off from the aura, and they were blocked by the willow trees that gathered yin, so that the five of heaven, earth, wind, water, and thunder failed, but left three of them: fire, mountain, and ze, among which the mountain is the most secluded, secluded and far-reaching, and easy to be charmed; Ze is the end of all the spirits, complement each other, the five spirits are lost, only a mountain, more sprites, fortunately there is a fire, the lonely yang hugs the yin, Wuliuzhuang has not become a place of absolute yin, if the willow tree of the water level is planted on the fire level, then Wuliuzhuang may have already become a place where people should not enter!

"Master Wang, Brother Xu Dao, since you took over this Zhuangzi, can anyone stay in the village until Hai?" After Xiao Zhuo came down from the roof, he didn't wait for them to ask anything, and asked first. After listening to this, Wang Junke thought carefully before answering him: "This is not true, when I received this Zhuangzi, I also thought that the original owner was more pitiful, and the original owner told me at that time that there should be no one in the courtyard in the future, and later Xu Daochang also said that it is not suitable for people to live here, so when I left Zhuangzi all these years, I was the last to go, and I was afraid that someone would stay in the village." ”

"Oh!" Xiao Zhuo heard Wang Junke say this, and ruled out the suspicion that the original owner of Zhuangzi was plotting to harm people in his heart, and then looked at the time, it was almost time, so he asked again: "Then which of you has the courage to stay here with me until the time?" Xiao Zhuochao looked left and right at Wang Junke, Xu Shiji and Hou Junji, but none of the three spoke.

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, since the poor Dao is determined to learn the Dao Law, what should be faced is to be faced, and the poor Dao will stay with Xiao Gongzi!" Xu Shiji was the first to speak out and stand up.

"Since Daochang Xu wants to stay, I, Wang Jun, naturally can't let him go, and I will stay." After Wang Junke finished speaking, he looked at Hou Junji again, and said first without waiting for Hou Junji to speak: "Junji, you take your brothers away first, in case someone comes to find the lost property, don't delay others!" ”

"But big brother ......" Hou Junji looked left and right, looking a little embarrassed.

"That's it, you are alert, light and good, this business has just been done tonight, I need you to explore the road so that the brothers can evacuate safely, don't delay here! Just go! Let's all hurry up! Wang Junke urged repeatedly, regardless of whether Hou Junji objected or not, and pushed him to leave quickly, but Hou Junji had no choice but to go as he said.

When Hou Junji left with a group of people, and the time was almost up, Xiao Zhuo, Xu Shiji and Wang Junke jumped on the roof, and watched the shadows of the trees in the courtyard gradually elongate at an incredible speed in the moonlight, and finally slowly formed a human shape on the ground, and then these figures broke away from the shadows of the trees and stood up.

"What's wrong? Xu ......"

Wang Junke looked at Xu Shiji's eyes and opened suddenly, and just wanted to ask the reason, but Xiao Zhuo covered his mouth, and then saw Xiao Zhuo stretch out his hand and draw on his eyebrows, and he saw that in the courtyard at this time, there were five or six erratic figures standing, their feet did not touch the ground, and they did not take a step, so shocked that he also stood in place and did not know what to do.

Xiao Zhuo could probably guess who the souls in this courtyard were, but he didn't know why they were stranded in Wuliuzhuang. But since they have been stranded in Wuliuzhuang, they must have had an extremely deep affection for Wuliuzhuang before their deaths, so much so that they are reluctant to leave after death? But if you think about it carefully, there is something wrong, love is the most concerned thing in life, either a close friend, or a loved one, or a loved one, how can anyone miss the house before death? Although the five willow trees outside the courtyard gathered yin qi and destroyed the five spiritual sources of Wuliuzhuang, they were not enough to restrain the freedom of these souls, so why did these souls refuse to leave?

Xiao Zhuo was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a clear sound in his ears, and several people hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, but saw an old man with gray hair, who was slowly walking towards Wuliuzhuang step by step.

"Uncle Weng?" Wang Junke's words clearly showed that he knew this old man.

"Does the owner of the Wang Zhuang know this old man?" Xiao Zhuo watched Uncle Weng walk step by step, every time he took three steps, his hand shook slightly, and a crisp sound followed.

"He is the original owner of this Zhuangzi, when he sold it to me, I thought he was alarmist, but now it seems to be ......" Wang Junke said this, and quickly pulled Xiao Zhuo by the hand, and asked: "Xiao Gongzi, will Uncle Weng be in danger?" ”

Wang Junke's question Xiao Zhuo couldn't answer it, since Uncle Weng had reminded Wang Junke when he sold this Zhuangzi, it means that Uncle Weng knew the strangeness of this Zhuangzi, and now Uncle Weng came over in the middle of the night, what is his intention, Xiao Zhuo is really not sure. However, when Xiao Zhuo glanced at the courtyard again, he felt that Uncle Weng might not have any malicious intent here.

Because when the bell in Uncle Weng's hand rang again, the six souls in the courtyard, which originally looked a little terrifying, finally calmed down and changed back to their original appearance. It turned out that among the six deceased souls, one was a middle-aged man and the other was a middle-aged woman, and it seemed that the two should have been a couple before their deaths. There was also a man and a woman, who looked like they were also a couple, pulling a child of about five or six years old to look at the door. The last one, a child of about eleven or twelve years old, was slowly walking towards the door. These six dead souls, until Uncle Weng entered the courtyard, they all retreated one after another, giving up a large space.

Jingle bells! There was another clear sound, and I saw Uncle Weng take out an object from the package, and then his fingers fluttered slightly, and the object also danced gently in the courtyard, which turned out to be a puppet puppet. Xiao Zhuo and the three of them watched the puppet flutter back and forth in the hands of Uncle Weng on the rooftop, and the dance posture deduced was not weaker than the real person at all, step by step, every move and step, all of them involuntarily attracted the attention of the viewers, even if this figure suddenly enlarged to the realm of a real person in front of their eyes, they didn't even think it was strange, they still just watched the beautiful figure dancing under the moonlit night.

"My husband is a hero in this world, and bandits like you are not worthy of killing his son?" Jiang Ning's spear was horizontal in front of her, protecting Su Sheng and Su Zhan behind her, while the soldiers in front of her were shocked by Jiang Ning's marksmanship and didn't dare to step forward for a while.

"Oh? Today, who can still be called a hero? Liu Heimin retorted with disdain.

"Su Lie and Su Dingfang, can you afford the word hero?" Jiang Ning scolded sharply. Although he was besieged by the chaotic army at this time, he did not show the slightest cowardice. At this time, Liu Heimin, when he saw Jiang Ning and a female streamer acting so strong, he also had admiration in his heart. What's more, the woman in front of him turned out to be the wife of Su Dingfang, whom he respected the most, so he immediately dismounted and pleaded guilty: "The contemptible people have no way to govern the army, and they have offended Mrs., so I ask Mrs. for guilt!" ”
