Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Array of Life and Death
It was just 9 o'clock in the morning, and the tenants came to the gate of the Imperial Village.
Everyone was surprised to see that the steward of the Huangzhuang actually welcomed them outside. Gao Qiqian stood behind a table with a wooden barrel containing boiling hot tea. When someone comes in, Gao Qiqian pours him a bowl of tea. There are many benches in the open space, and everyone can sit at will.
Sitting on a bench drinking hot tea, basking in the warm winter sun, many people said: Huangzhuang is still good, I want to collect less rent at the beginning, and the stewards are not too mean. It's a pity that it's haunted, otherwise it would be a good choice to be a tenant in Huangzhuang.
It's almost time for people to arrive, and Zhu Cheng has appeared. Jin Yiwei moved a table, Zhu Cheng stood on the table and said to the tenants: "Fellow villagers, I am the current manager of Jingxi Huangzhuang, my name is Zhu Cheng, and I have given you a gift to your uncles and uncles." ”
As he spoke, Zhu Cheng smiled toothily and made a gesture at the audience.
Everyone was stunned, they had long heard that Jingxi Huangzhuang had changed the person in charge, but they didn't expect it to be such a child. Everyone saw that the child was handsome, polite, and loved in their hearts, and their hatred of Huangzhuang had gone seven or eight points.
Zhu Cheng said: "I am ordered by the Holy Authority to manage Huangzhuang, the people of Huangzhuang are my relatives, and the affairs of the people are my business." I heard that Jingxi Huangzhuang was haunted, so I immediately led the Jinyi Guard to hunt ghosts, and as a result, I caught thirteen powerful ghosts. ”
Zhu Cheng clapped his hands, and the brocade guard escorted thirteen black-clothed people out.
Everyone was in an uproar, they couldn't imagine that this little boy was so bold and dared to catch ghosts late at night, worthy of being a person sent by the emperor.
The cold-blooded thirteen eagles were captured and shown to the public, where is there a face to look up to see people, but the binding skills of Jinyiwei are unique in the world, and the heads of the thirteen people can't be lowered at all, so they have to close their eyes and say nothing. Everyone saw that these thirteen people were pale, their lips were bright red, and their tongues were more than a foot long, and they said in their hearts, this little boy is really powerful, even the ghosts who come and go without a trace can be caught, what a hero is a young man.
Zhu Cheng said loudly: "Actually, these thirteen people are not ghosts, but bandits pretending. ”
Jin Yiwei stepped forward, tore off the tongue of the cold-blooded thirteen eagles, wiped them vigorously on the faces of these people with wet towels a few times, and thirteen fierce and ugly faces appeared in front of everyone.
Zhu Cheng explained clearly how Dingguo Gong asked the cold-blooded thirteen eagles to pretend to be a powerful ghost, and how the cold-blooded thirteen eagles brought disaster to the township, and then pointed to one of the cold-blooded thirteen eagles Humpty Dumpty and said: "This person is the murderer who pushed Gao Xiaoding into the irrigation ditch." Then Zhu Cheng pointed to another thin man and said, "And this person is the villain who hanged Yang Lao Wu and raped Yang Shen's family." ”
Everyone screamed again, and several people rushed forward crying and punched and kicked Humpty Dumpty and Thin Man, who were the family of Gao Siwu and the bereaved family of Yang Lao Wu. Jin Yiwei hated these bandits in the township who were in trouble, where would they help them, but whoever hit them hard, he would send these two people to whose fists. Soon Humpty Dumpty and Skinny were beaten to death.
Wu Huping shouted loudly: "Folks, these thirteen people pretend to be powerful ghosts, harm people's lives, and have their own government to deal with them, you have the right to be quiet, listen to Lord Zhu continue to speak." ”
Before Zhu Cheng could speak, a sneer came from outside the crowd: "It's a pity, these stupid villagers don't know that they have been set up." ”
Everyone looked back, and it was an old Taoist who spoke, only to see that this old Taoist had long hair fluttering, if it wasn't for the fact that he didn't look like a human for three points and a ghost for seven points, it would have a bit of fairy wind bones.
Zhu Cheng was furious and asked, "Do you say that I didn't catch a ghost?" ”
The Taoist leader parted the crowd and walked over. He was a self-acquaintance, and without waiting for Zhu Cheng to invite, he climbed onto the table and said, "Of course I said that Lord Zhu is not deceiving. The ghost that Lord Zhu caught last night was a fake ghost, but what about the real ghost? According to Lao Dao's understanding, there have been no less than 100 haunted incidents in Jingxi Huangzhuang over the years, is it that all of them are pretended to be people? ”
Zhu Cheng asked, "May I ask what the chief means?" ”
The Taoist chief said: "Poor Dao is Qiu Tianshi from Longhu Mountain, I heard that Jingxi Huangzhuang is haunted, and I specially came to subdue demons and subdue demons, but I didn't expect to be inadvertently uncovered by me to reveal a big secret. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Please teach the Heavenly Master." ”
Master Qiu Tianshi said: "I don't dare to give teaching, as the saying goes, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, and the poor Taoist is not in his heart, and he does not want to go to the Western Elysium as soon as possible, so I dare not tell you this secret." I can only tell you one thing, move out of Jingxi Huangzhuang as soon as possible, you can still save your life, otherwise it will be too late to regret it. ”
When everyone heard that Qiu Tianshi came from Longhu Mountain, and saw him Immortal Wind Dao Bone, they already believed it in their hearts, thinking of the haunted things over the years, they couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and when they heard him say that it was terrifying, they wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. But after all, it was difficult to leave their homeland, and these people couldn't help but fall to their knees and shouted in unison: "Please be rescued by the Heavenly Master." ”
Zhu Cheng took out two gold ingots from his arms, handed them to Heavenly Master Qiu, and said, "You see that these people are so sincere, please ask Heavenly Master to think of a perfect plan." ”
Master Qiu Tianshi looked at the kneeling people in the audience, pushed the gold ingots away, and said angrily: "I am a cultivator, my heart is pure and my desires are few, what is the use of money for me?" But seeing the folks so loving, I also took a risk and told everyone what I saw. However, in order to prevent natural disasters, I need to make some preparations before I talk about it. Lord Zhu, please prepare seven oil lamps for me. ”
Qiu Tianshi used seven oil lamps to form the Big Dipper Seven Star Array, then lit the oil lamps, looked at the cheerful and beating flames, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Fellow villagers, Jingxi Huangzhuang is the emperor's grange, covered by the emperor's spirit, it stands to reason that it should be inviolable from all evils, why have there been hauntings one after another over the years, have you thought about it, what is the mystery here?" The lords are high and powerful, why are they willing to risk the disapproval of the world and forcibly occupy the land of the imperial village, are they not afraid of the emperor's wrath and rivers of blood? ”
When the people heard this, they felt that there was really a great mystery in it, so they pricked up their ears to listen to Master Qiu Tianshi continue to reveal the secret.
Master Qiu Tianshi said to Zhu Cheng: "Please bring me a map of Jingxi Huangzhuang, it should be larger." Give me another map of Beijing, which is also larger, and prepare a brush and cinnabar. ”
Master Qiu Tianshi hung up the map of Jingxi Huangzhuang so that the people in the audience could see it clearly. Qiu Tianshi picked up the brush, filled it with cinnabar, and said, "Next, I will tick out the location where the lords built the village on the map, and let's see what the mystery is." ”
After speaking, Qiu Tianshi sketched out the location of the village built by the three dukes, thirteen marquises, and eleven earls on the land of the imperial village on the map.
Master Qiu Tian asked, "Fellow villagers, have you seen anything?" ”
All the people shook their heads in unison.
Master Qiu Tianshi said: "It's okay, I'll connect these red dots, you can take a look again." ”
Qiu Tianshi used a cinnabar pen to connect the red dots, and a blood-red word "death" appeared on the map.
A few of the people who were literate exclaimed, "Dead words, these lords' courtyards are a dead word together!" ”
The rest of the people were shocked, and although they didn't know how to write dead characters, they knew that this character was not an auspicious word.
Qiu Tianshi took down the map of Jingxi Huangzhuang, hung up the map of Beijing, and said, "Next, I will tick off the location of the mansion that the Lord built in Beijing City on the map. ”
Master Qiu Tianshi poured more Jiao cinnabar, pointed out the locations of the lords' mansions on the map, and then asked, "Do you see any words in this picture?" ”
Some of the literate people guessed the word "king", some guessed the word "tian", and so on.
Qiu Tianshi used the pen for a while, and the people exclaimed: "Raw words, they are new words." ”
Qiu Tianshi said, "Yes, this is a new word. Once you die, the lords are so vicious, they set up a life and death array, absorb the imperial energy of Jingxi Huangzhuang and the vitality of the living beings, and prolong their life. That's why Jingxi Huangzhuang will be full of evils and demons. ”
The people who have not had three disasters and two diseases over the years originally blamed themselves for being unlucky, but now they can be regarded as finding the reason.
All the people shouted in unison: "Heavenly Master, since you have seen the array of life and death, you must have come up with a way to solve it, please ask Heavenly Master to rescue us poor people." ”
Qiu Tianshi was about to say something when an arrow came from somewhere, hitting him in the left chest.
A stream of blood rushed out of Qiu Tianshi's left chest, and he held the arrow that shot into his chest, and said weakly: "Heavenly punishment, heavenly punishment." Unexpectedly, I leaked the secret of heaven, and God actually punished me by pretending to be a traitor. ”
After speaking, Qiu Tianshi fell to the ground.
The people lost the guidance of the Heavenly Master, and there was a lot of discussion, some said that they wanted to move away, and some said that they wanted God's blessing.
One of the people said: "Even if a new word is added, and a dead word is added, it becomes a life and death array, so if we dismantle this dead word, won't we break the life and death array?" ”
All the people cheered in unison, went home one after another, picked up hoes and shovels, and went to demolish the courtyard that the lords had left in the imperial village.
Qiu Tianshi was lying alone on the platform, and a cold wind blew, and the corners of Qiu Tianshi's clothes were blown up by the wind.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Qiu Tianshi's corpse with tears in his eyes, and asked Zhu Cheng: "Brother Cheng, Qiu Tianshi is just begging for the ball, he just went, what should Miss Chen do, what about her unborn son?" ”
