At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and Mr. Yan opened the door and walked into the hall with the visitor. After introducing each other, the three learned that the surname of the person who came was Wang, and he was the same age as Mr. Yan, and the two old gentlemen were neighbors and village elders, but Elder Wang did not have the scholarly smell of Mr. Yan, but he was indeed dressed as an old farmer.

Elder Wang said with some concern: "I heard someone call the door just now, I'm afraid that something will happen, hey, I can't rest assured, so let's take a look at the situation."

Hearing Elder Wang say this, Zhang Xun was very puzzled, so he asked, "Isn't it normal to knock on the door?" I don't know why Elder Wang is nervous? Oh, by the way, I have another question, it's evening, and it is supposed to be the time for the farmers to return to their homes and make fires for cooking, but why is there no road in the village, and there is no cooking smoke in the households? ”

"Hey, you're outsiders, you don't know what's going on here." Elder Wang took a sip of tea, smacked his lips a few times, and said to the three of them.

"I hope you can explain that there may be a place where my brothers can help."

"Hey, how can you help, this is the sin of our village themselves!"

What do you mean by that? Please also ask the old man to say clearly. ”

"Our name is 'Yiyang', there is only one village within a radius of 200 miles, there are hillsides on both sides, and the village is sandwiched in this mountain nest."

"Yes, when we came, we already found that although the ridge here is not high, it is endless, and we really can't imagine that there will be such a village. Old man, how old is this village? ”

"The village has been around for a long time, more than 100 years, and a feng shui master once passed by here and said that this is a good place, the feng shui is very good, and there will be no evil. I've lived here all my life, and I've been stable and stable, but in the first few months, it was these juniors who didn't fight for it, broke the feng shui, and did evil, what a sin! Elder Wang sighed and patted his thigh.

"Oh? What's going on? Zhang Xun continued to ask.

"A few months ago, there was an earthquake here, and a few days later, a big snake suddenly appeared in front of the ancestral hall at the south entrance of the village, but the snake was cut into two sections, to say that in our place, snakes are not uncommon, and it is not impossible for people of this size to hurt, but people in our village do not hurt snakes, and there are few snakes that hurt people."

"Could this snake have been wounded by someone from the village?"

"I don't know which bastard who was killed by heaven did this kind of thing, what a sin!" Elder Wang thrashed a few cases angrily.

"A broken snake, although I don't know who did it, can't it be regarded as a big disaster, right?" Zhang Xun was puzzled.

"One? Where's the one? Every month! ”

"Oh? Broken snakes are found every month? ”

"Every month! This month in the ancestral hall in the south of the village, next month in the north of the village by the well. At first, the descendants didn't take it seriously, and even took the broken snake home and ate it. Ah! They must have offended the gods to make our little village a place where Yin soldiers borrowed the way! ”

"Yin Soldier borrowed the way!? How could such a thing be? Zhang Xun was shocked, and the other two were also surprised.

"At the beginning of every month, one night in the first three days, when the soldiers of the Yin Dynasty passed through our village, a team of soldiers and horses from the underworld passed through our village! Then the next day, there will be a broken snake in the village, which must be our sin! Definitely! Elder Wang's stiff back trembled, his breathing became short, and a little sweat oozed from his forehead, he suddenly remembered something, and then said, "The night before and last night, the Yin soldiers hadn't appeared yet!" ”

"Oh?!" Zhang Xun was taken aback, suddenly stood up and said: "Today, on the third day of the third month of March, if you don't show up in the first two days, then it's not tonight!?" ”

Gong Wanran pressed his hand, motioned for Zhang Xun to sit down, and then said: "Mr. Hi, this matter is not trivial, have you ever reported to the official?"

Mr. Juan sighed and said: "I have reported it, the government sent three officials to investigate last month, and on the first night of the second lunar month, they waited for a night, but they did not wait for anything, and then the officials reprimanded the villagers, saying that 'Yin soldiers borrowed the way' is just nonsense of the villagers, and then they went back to pay the errand." ”

"And what should the elders do?"

Mr. Juan shook his head and said, "Hey, we don't have a solution. ”

"Mr. Yan, that master sent the three of me here, do you know about this situation?"

"I don't know, I haven't been in contact with your master for more than ten years."

"Oh, it's been more than ten years, and the family teacher once warned us to treat you with courtesy when we see you, so you should be regarded as our teacher."

Mr. Juan shook his head and said with a little disdain: "Your master has opened up a mountain gate and has his own faction, so the name of the master is not polite. ”

Gong Wanran noticed that Mr. Yan seemed to be a little estranged from his master, so he hurriedly saluted Mr. Yan and said: "In any case, you are our elder after all, and I hope you will give me more advice. ”

Elder Wang shook his head and sighed, pounded the table and said, "Huh! What arrangements can be made? There are incompetent people in the village, who can only farm and hunt, so what else can they do except hide? ”

Gong Wan nodded thoughtfully and said, "Oh, since that's the case, then the three of us will definitely not cause trouble." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gong's words fell, Ji Zheng, who had never said a word, suddenly laughed and said, "Haha, what kind of Yin soldier borrowed the way?" I don't believe it at all! ”

Elder Wang was anxious and hurriedly explained, "Really! It's true! ”

"It's not that there is no such thing, but this so-called Yin soldier must be a trick! Hmph, politics is not talented, learn a little, rely on the high talent of the senior brother and junior brother, or you can do a little, explore the end of the Yin soldiers, and solve the difficult situation of Yiyang. If the two elders don't dislike it, tonight, the three of us will meet these Yin soldiers for a while to see where they are 'sacred'! ”

Ji Zheng's words made Gong Wanran frown, he just wanted to say something to play the round, but Zhang Xun on the side also said excitedly: "Haha! Xiao Ji is right, no matter what kind of yin and yang ghost it is, we can find a way to solve it! ”

After the two of them finished talking, Gong Wanran had to smile and shake his head, and didn't say anything more, but Elder Wang seemed to hear the voice of hope, and he asked tremblingly, "Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhang!" Two ...... Mo...... Don't you know the art of yin and yang? ”

Ji Zheng said confidently: "Hehe, Elder Wang is really elevated, this Yin and Yang technique reaches the ten thousand transformations of the universe and the reincarnation of all living beings, how dare I say that I understand, but if it refers to the so-called magic of Fang Shi, it is not a problem." ”

"Sir has such magical powers! Please help us! Save the village! Now everyone in the village is so worried that they don't dare to make a fire to cook at the end of the month, for fear that the Yin soldiers will smell the fireworks and arrest them. In the past few months, more than 10 people in the village have gone missing, going out to work during the day, and no one can return at night. There are also many people who have a strange disease, several old people have died, and a few children, as if they have been hooked by the Yin soldiers, they are so frightened that they dare not speak, dare not eat, and our elders are about to die of sorrow. If this continues, Yiyang Village will be finished! Three gentlemen, please help us! With that, Elder Wang bowed down to the three of them violently.

Seeing this, Gong Wanran immediately got up, took a step forward, squatted down, helped Elder Wang up, and hurriedly said, "Old man, please get up quickly, you can't do it, you can't do it!" I hope you two rest assured, my three brothers will do their best! ”
