In the early days of liberation, there was a river named Qinghe in the north of Shaji Town, Huangshan City, and there were seven villages of different sizes on both sides of the Qinghe River basin.

These seven villages have a long history, and there is no way to trace their origins. However, the people are simple and simple, and they have been mainly engaged in agriculture for generations. Life is comfortable and peaceful, but it is also a steady and comfortable life.

However, some strange, bizarre, and unbelievable things have happened in the past two years to break their comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.

Strange to say, these things happened without any basis, but the events themselves made the villagers feel as if they were overshadowed by a strong sense of foreboding. No one can explain the origin and outcome of what happened, and the only thing that makes sense is that it is haunted.

Influenced by the 5,000-year-old traditional Chinese culture, the theory of ghosts and gods is still very superstitious in the hearts of ordinary people, and the villagers of the seven villages began to panic and feel uneasy when they thought that the village might be haunted. But the villagers in this area are quiet and honest, and they have not done anything large-scale and collectively hurtful to nature, so how can they be entangled in dirty things?

Xiahe Village is a small village with only 60 or 70 households located in the upper reaches of the Qinghe River Valley, although in the early days of liberation, many policies were not perfect, and even ordinary people in some areas could not even eat enough, but in terms of giving birth to children, these ordinary people were very hard-working.

This village of only sixty or seventy households, if you count by the number of people, it is not a point. Each family has a minimum of two children, and a maximum of nine children in a family.

Although there is no statistics on the total number of children in the entire village, the strange events that have occurred in the past two years have caused the village to lose four or five children.

Strangely, the four or five children who died in the disaster were all within the ages of 14 to 18, and what is even more surprising is that they were all young girls.

Li Yunming has three children, two daughters and a son, the son is only six years old, and the youngest daughter is twelve years old. The eldest daughter's name is Xiulan, and she just turned eighteen this year. Ordinary appearance, but capable and sensible, helping parents take care of housework, and being well organized; She is smart and hardworking, and her family is already difficult and has a lot of things, but with her help, she has reduced a lot of burden.

People in the village often praise Xiulan for being hardworking, smart and polite, and it is a blessing that Li Yunming and his wife can give birth to such a good daughter in their lives. The couple is also often proud. But who would have thought that just five days ago, this wonderful daughter suddenly disappeared.

According to Li Yunming, Xiulan took the initiative to wash the dishes after dinner that night, cleaned the house, and chatted with her parents about some family things before going to bed. The next day, I had to go down to the field to harvest grain, so I had to get up early. Xiulan was going to go to Shimoda with her parents. The couple got up first and washed, and when they saw that the door of their daughter's room was still closed, they went to knock on the door, who knew that the door was not latched, and the couple entered the room to find that their daughter was not in the room. I thought she got up early and went to the field first, but when they arrived in the field, they didn't see their daughter. At this time, they muttered in their hearts, thinking about the strange events that had happened in this area in the past two years, and the couple panicked even more.

The couple first hurried home and then went to their daughter's room to take a closer look, and then went to the younger siblings' room to check, and after searching every corner of the house, they went to the village to look around, but still did not find it. At this time, she was really anxious, and Li Yunming's wife Su Chunmei was already so anxious that she shed tears of sadness.

Li Yunming had no choice, so he hurriedly asked the village chief to gather the people of the whole village and mobilize everyone to find it together. So I searched all seven villages in the Qinghe River valley and found no one. Not only was he and his wife anxious, but the whole village was also anxious about it, needless to say, it must have been the same as the missing girls in front of them.

Five days later, a villager hurried to tell Li Yunming that his daughter had been found, but that what he had found was a corpse.

This news made Li Yunming's wife Su Chunmei faint directly to the ground. If there was no table behind him, Li Yunming would almost fall to the ground.

His face turned pale, and his whole person seemed to have lost his soul, and he asked tremblingly, "Corpse...... Where is the body? ”

The body was carried back by the man who had already found it. He was soaking wet, apparently fished out of the water.

The body was found in the Majiacun River basin, which is located in the middle and upper reaches of the Qing River. At that time, the child was bathing in the river, and saw a black thing floating in the middle of the river from a distance, and the bold child swam over to see that the black thing floating on the surface of the water turned out to be the hair of a female corpse. So the people of Majia Village took a bamboo raft and salvaged the body.

I heard from the salvage people that during the salvage, the body was actually standing upright in the water, just like a normal person walking upright on land. And the whole face was so white that it was so white that it turned black.

What's even more strange is that the deceased is wearing a costume that the village people have never seen before, and this costume looks a bit like that worn by ancient people in terms of patterns and styles, and it is particularly similar to Hanfu.

The moment he saw the corpse, Li Yunming couldn't hold on, he felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, his eyes were dark, and the whole person fainted.

When he woke up, his wife, son and youngest daughter had already knelt in front of the body of his eldest daughter Xiulan and wept for most of the day.

Li Yunming never thought that one day such a catastrophe would happen to him. Although he still has two children, this eldest daughter is his favorite, and now that he is gone, it is even more painful than being chopped off a piece of raw meat on any part of his body.

Although similar tragedies have occurred in this part of the village every once in a while in the past two years, the villagers still feel pity and sympathy when they see the scene of Li Yunming and his wife crying out in pain. However, there is still a lot of uneasiness that occupies their whole mind. Every family has children, and no one can guarantee that their children will be safe and sound in such a strange and unpredictable environment. No one knows why so many strange things have happened in the village in the past two years. They had also asked a sorcerer to do the work to drive away the evil spirits, but to no avail, and what should have happened happened continued to happen, so that the villagers of the seven villages were helpless and panicked all day long.

Just then, a young man came to the village. This young man did not look very old, only about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with good facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous face; Wearing a Taoist bun, carrying a long sword on his back, and dressed as a monk, he turned out to be a young Taoist priest.

I saw that he didn't care about everyone's eyes, squeezed directly through the crowd, came to the corpse, looked at it twice, twisted his thick eyebrows, and asked, "Where did the corpse come from?" ”

He spoke in a serious and serious tone, like a commander questioning a prisoner.

Someone in the crowd replied, "I fished it in the river basin of Majia Village." ”

"It seems that the deceased had been killed by an evil spell before his death, and had been dead for three or four days," he said. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that what the young Taoist priest said made sense, and they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.

"But how could the deceased be wearing Hanfu?" He said again.

No one can answer him with this statement, because no one knows why.

I saw him suddenly squat down and reach out to untie the deceased's clothes.

Everyone was surprised when they saw his rude behavior, and before they could stop it, he had already taken off the "Hanfu" on the deceased's body, turned the body over, and turned his back to the sky. Then everyone let out an exclamation.

Even Li Yunming and his wife Su Chunmei couldn't help but feel stunned, their eyes widened, their mouths opened wide, and they had a blank expression.

It turned out that there was a rune burned on the back of the deceased.

Although this rune is very similar to the rune of the Chinese Taoist Xuanmen to catch ghosts and drive away evil spirits, there are still many differences that can be seen.

"Damn." The young Taoist priest was a little angry, "I actually imprinted the runes on the dead corpses, so that the souls of the dead will not be able to leave the body because of the suppression of the runes, and if they can't get out of the body, they can't be reincarnated, and the souls will disappear after a long time." ”

When everyone heard this, they were even more shocked.

That Su Chunmei suddenly rushed over and knelt in front of the young Taoist priest, crying and said, "Dao Chief, please, please cast a spell to let my daughter's soul get out of the body and be reincarnated, I ...... I...... My whole family is grateful to Dade and repays you by being a cow and a horse. ”

The young Taoist priest sighed and shook his head: "This person's way of sacrificing runes is too vicious, and this rune is not like the one in the Xuanmen of Chinese Taoism, and I can't dissolve it." ”

Su Chunmei cried loudly, shouting to the heavens and the earth: "My poor daughter, my mother is sorry for you, what kind of sin you have created, why can't you be reincarnated even if you die, that dog thing that kills a thousand knives, why are you torturing my daughter like this......" Her cry was heartbreaking and grief-stricken, and the villagers standing on the side couldn't help but have ruddy eyes and shed tears.

The young Taoist priest looked at Li Yunming and asked, "Dare to ask how his beloved daughter was killed?" ”

Li Yunming was exhausted at the moment and was unable to speak, and some villagers told how Xiulan disappeared and how she found her body from beginning to end.

The young Taoist said: "There is such a strange thing? ”

The villager said: "Not to mention such strange things, I don't know how many strange things like this have happened in the village in the past two years, and all the dead are teenage girls." ”

The young Taoist frowned and pondered, raising his eyes from time to time to look at the scenery and buildings around the village, and pinching his fingers to silently count the number of techniques, like a gentleman who looks at feng shui.

But he is not Mr. Feng Shui. This young Taoist priest is called a dream, commonly known as Xiao Yue. He was originally a young Taoist priest of the Maoshan School, and because of his teacher's ambition, he went down the mountain to practice. From north to south, from east to west, all the way to kill demons, for the people I don't know how many disasters in addition to, today I came here to meet Xiulan's disappearance and drowning, which can be regarded as fate.

I only heard him say: "Recently, the yang energy in this area has indeed declined and the yin energy has condensed, this phenomenon is not a reversal of feng shui fortune, but someone is secretly deliberately destroying the feng shui here. ”

"What ......"

The villagers exclaimed at the same time.

"But why this man would kill a young girl is a matter of hard work." Xiao Yue said.

The village chief of Xiahe Village suddenly walked up to Xiao Yue and said: "If the Taoist chief can eliminate this evil for the seven villages in the Qinghe River basin to keep the peace, I am willing to mobilize the villagers of the seven villages to raise funds together, build a temple and an ancestral hall, and make a statue of the Taoist chief, and offer sacrifices for the eternal generation, without forgetting the great grace." ”

The rest of the villagers agreed, "Ask the Taoist to save us." ”

Xiao Yue said awe-inspiringly: "Even if you don't ask me, I won't stand idly by, cultivators, if you can't eliminate disasters and solve problems for all sentient beings, what is the use of cultivating the Dao?" ”
