Just after noon on the fourth day, Li Wenxuan, who was wearing a Taoist uniform and wearing a cloak, held a long sword in his right hand and was ready to go out. This long sword of mine is not a peachwood sword, but a real sword. The reason why he chose to use a real sword was that he felt that holding a peachwood sword would be quite naïve, as if a child was playing. In fact, Li Wenxuan was also playing.

Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang followed Li Wenxuan respectively, and they wanted to send him out of the gate. Walking halfway, he suddenly stopped, looked at the two of them in a 180-degree turn, and said with a smile: "Tian'er, you really don't plan to go with me?" ”

"I need to stay and watch the house." Zhao Tian'er, who had made up her mind, didn't want to look at those unclean "things", excused.

Li Wenxuan, who knew that there was only one answer, continued to ask knowingly: "Su Meiniang really doesn't go?" ”

Su Meiniang's courage is greater than Zhao Tian'er, but she doesn't have the courage to go to the mass grave for the night. She also didn't want to go, and she didn't say it directly verbally, but just smiled and said: "Leaving the sweet girl alone at home, the slave family is not at ease." ”

"If you don't go, you won't go, what are you going to do with excuses? I didn't force you to come with me. Li Wenxuan, who exposed the careful thinking of the two, smiled and said a not very objective fact: "The mass grave is a good place. If you don't go, you'll lose a lot. Today's time, place and people are just right, and there will be wonders. You've only heard about ghost fire, don't you want to see for yourself what it's like? ”

Zhao Tian'er and Su Meiniang, who deeply felt that he had a bad taste, ignored his bad treatment of them, but unanimously refused very tacitly: "I don't want to, I don't want to at all." ”

Li Wenxuan, who shook his head, just sighed slightly, turned around and left. The reason why he wanted to go to the mass grave was not to test how bold Zhu Biao and the others were, but to justify himself, after all, everyone thought that the evil ghosts were doing it, so he had to follow this to find a convincing source.

Li Wenxuan, who is well aware of the climatic conditions in Guixi County, has long known that the thunderstorms that have been in place for several days have already consumed a large number of positive and negative electrons in the air, and there will be no large-scale discharges for a long time in the future. Go through a procedure by yourself and set up an altar to do it, and you can get rid of this matter.

Today, there is little moisture in the air, the humidity is low, and it is dry, so Li Wenxuan expects that there will be ghost fires in the mass grave. Knowing the cause of this, he didn't think that there was anything terrible about ghost fire, after all, it was a natural phenomenon of phosphorus burning in the air. The reason why people in the world are afraid is because of the creation of the environment.

The combination of night, graveyards, and dead people makes it easy to think of ghosts. In addition, at this time, people did not know the cause of the ghost fire, generally did not learn the basic natural sciences, and the level of cognition was not high, which made it difficult for them not to think about it.

Li Wenxuan, who walked out of the house, saw Zhu Biao leading eight men who claimed to be particularly bold and waiting outside the door early. With a "go", the nine people unanimously made a way to let him go. Li Wenxuan walked in the front, and the nine people behind him carried three animal sacrifices, money paper, candles, incense, and other necessary items for setting up altars.

In addition, they also brought a lot of food and liquor, after all, they needed to have dinner at the mass grave. There are a lot of things to bring and a lot of variety. As for all these expenses, they all came from Zhu Biao's private pocket. In less than half an hour, ten people reached the mass grave.

Li Wenxuan, who was standing on top of a grave, looked at the messy array of graves and felt that the burial was really luxurious and occupied arable land. In his own era, a cemetery of less than one square meter ranged from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and it still had a service life. I really can't afford to die.

And the cemetery in front of him and under his feet covers an area of between three or five square meters, so that the dead can sleep underneath is spacious enough. Not only does it cost a penny here, but it also has no service life. If it weren't for the fact that the population at this time was less than ten or twenty times that of the future, I am afraid that there would not be such a luxurious enjoyment.

Zhu Biao, who put down the two big jars in his arms, walked up to Li Wenxuan's side and asked, "I don't know when Daoist Li set up the altar?" ”

"Sub-hour." Li Wenxuan turned around and saw that the eight people sitting on the ground were idle and had nothing to do, and added: "Seeing that you are also idle, then set up the altar for me first." ”

"Where?" Looking around at Zhu Biao, who was overgrown with weeds, he asked for instructions again.

Li Wenxuan casually pointed to a flat ground and replied, "You will set it up there for me." ”

Zhu Biao, who had figured out the task, turned around and shouted, leading the eight people to start weeding and building the altar. Li Wenxuan, who doesn't have to do manual work, doesn't feel the eerie and panicked feeling mentioned here like in ghost novels. On the contrary, I feel that the environment here is quiet and the air is good.

A man with a pockmarked face asked with interest while burying his head in pulling weeds: "Brother Zhu, do you say that this evil ghost is a woman or a man?" What does it look like? ”

"I don't know." Zhu Biao replied quite sincerely: "You have to ask Daochang Li this question." ”

A thin man not far away laughed and answered: "Mazi, I said do you want to see a female ghost or a male ghost?" ”

The pock-faced man stood upright, made a unique swerving movement that shook back and forth, and said with a wicked smile: "Naturally, it's a female ghost." When the time comes, our brothers will be able to have fun with her. ”

"I know that you kid thinks so." The thin man smiled and said, "If you really say that, then you will take it back to be your daughter-in-law." Anyway, the pervert and the female ghost happen to be a couple. As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people who were working together laughed together. Li Wenxuan, who heard them speak with great energy, also had a smile on his face.

"Monkey, the ** is the pervert. If you don't pretend garlic for the master, I don't believe that you don't want to do that. The pock-faced man immediately counterattacked, and said in a strange manner: "Others don't know about you, but I know about you." As soon as your grandson has money in hand, he will go to Piaoxiangyuan to find the spring peach girl. She's your old friend! ”

The thin man who was exposed by someone suddenly became angry and said: "If you dare to say it again, Lao Tzu will have to beat you." Mazi, who didn't dare to show weakness, stopped talking nonsense, walked quickly in front of him, and started to move directly. In a moment, the two scuffled together. The remaining six men who came with him stopped what they were doing and stood by and clapped their hands.

Zhu Biao, who threw away a handful of grass in his hand, stepped forward directly, separated the two entangled people with both hands, and then gave each of them a punch, and said sharply: "If you want to fight, let Lao Tzu go back." ”

"Brother Zhu, you've seen it all. It was Mazi who made the first move. The thin man who was huffing and huffing stared at the pock-faced man and said.

The pock-faced man standing in place, forced by Zhu Biao's deterrence, did not dare to continue the fight and said, "You scolded me first." ”

Zhu Biao, who raised his leg and gave each of them a kick, would not say a big reason, but would only use the simplest, most direct and rude way to solve the problem: "Let's talk about it." At this moment, the pock-faced man and the thin man immediately shut up and said nothing, just rubbed the hurt place with their hands and continued to work.

Li Wenxuan, who was standing on the grave, could see that Zhu Biao had the demeanor of being a big man, so he beckoned to him. Seeing that Zhu Biao was doing something, he took three steps and made two steps, came to Li Wenxuan, and said respectfully: "Daochang Li, what else do you have to order?" ”

Li Wenxuan pointed his finger at the two people who were fighting just now and said, "They are fine, right?" ”

"It's fine." Zhu Biao, who was full of confidence, was already accustomed to fighting: "Don't look at the two of them not talking now." After a while, after drinking alcohol, there was no. ”

"That's good." Li Wenxuan, who didn't want to make other things outside of his own plans, could trust his words.

Zhu Biao, who said goodbye with his hands in fists, turned back and continued to lead everyone to work. Seeing that they had finished pulling the grass and revealing a clearing, Li Wenxuan, who had just walked down the grave, instructed them to arrange the altar for themselves. With a cup of tea, everything is ready, and when he arrives, he opens the altar and casts spells. In the following time, the people sitting on the ground were pulling and talking to pass the time. Li Wenxuan, who was sitting quietly on the side, didn't say a word, just listened to them talk and brag.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was getting darker. They had already prepared a large pile of firewood, and soon lit two bonfires. Except for Li Wenxuan, who did not drink, the other nine people drank liquor while eating. As time went on, the sky became darker and darker. I could see through the firelight their faces, movements, and words showing a little nervousness.

Especially when a gust of wind blows, you can instantly become very quiet from the bustle, and then you will look behind you with trepidation. After no abnormality was found, Zhu Biao and the other nine people continued to drink, eat meat, and continue to talk.

Li Wenxuan, who couldn't help but laugh in his heart, understood them very well, after all, he was in a mass grave. After walking two miles in the afternoon, he was indeed a little tired, so he became sleepy, yawned and said, "I'll go sleep first." And when the hour is about the hour, you will call me up again. ”

After speaking, he stood up, walked seven steps, found a backlit place and lay down, and behind him was a grave without a tombstone. He didn't mind, and he wasn't worried that the people in the grave would crawl out, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep with peace of mind.
