In the dead of night, I carried a shovel from the deserted main road in Zhangjiagou to the ancestral grave.

Zhang Meng's family has been prosperous in the past few years, and a large family is either official or business, like a phoenix flying out of the chicken coop.

People in the village said that his ancestral tomb was smoking, so after Zhang Meng's family made a fortune, he repaired his family's ancestral tomb and erected an old high tombstone, which could be seen several miles away.

Xiaobai said that the feng shui of Zhang Meng's ancestral tomb is prosperous, and the descendants are lucky to do everything, and if they want to get rid of their family, they have to break the feng shui of his family first, and the feng shui of his family is prosperous because there is a willow under the ancestral tomb, and there is a nest of snakes under the willow.

The so-called Tongtian willow, is the willow tree that grows out of the coffin board, when the rural people are buried, the descendants should throw the mourning stick into the coffin and bury it into the grave, as the saying goes, there is a heart to plant flowers and flowers do not bloom, unintentionally planted willows into the shade, the vitality of the willow tree is extremely strong, the mourning stick will sprout once nourished by the groundwater, and then grow wildly.

The Tongtian willow in the ancestral tomb of Zhang Meng's family has grown intricately in the ground for a hundred years, and the roots have passed through the ancestral graves of other people's families around, which has the meaning of accepting luck from all directions, and more coincidentally, a nest of snakes lived under the willow tree a few years ago.

Tongtian willow under the head snake, this kind of feng shui auspicious phase, the luck of its descendants can basically be lawless in the local area.

A few years ago, Zhang Meng's father dug up a bronze object when he was digging the ground, and sold it for more than 100,000 yuan on the black market, making a fortune in one fell swoop. Zhang Meng, his second uncle, who only had a primary school diploma, became the village party secretary in a daze, and he didn't know how much he swallowed the subsidies sent from above. His brother was favored by the daughter of a wealthy businessman and became the son-in-law of a wealthy family, and when he returned to the village, he drove a big road. As for Zhang Meng, he and I are the same age, the year I graduated from high school, he fell in love with a very handsome girl in a neighboring village, and he was released from the police station in a few days, and later he also disabled a child in the town, and no one could do anything to him.

Therefore, no matter how good the feng shui of the ancestral tomb is, it depends on whether the descendants themselves fight for it, otherwise this feng shui pattern will be placed on the head of an ordinary person in the city, and the descendants will either be big officials or extremely rich.

After I arrived at the ancestral cemetery, I saw a small willow tree three meters high on the ancestral grave of Zhang Meng's family, the small willow tree was broken by me with a shovel, and then began to dig, the willow roots in the grave were intertwined, and it took me a long time to dig up the taproot of the willow tree, and under the roots, there was really a nest of snakes.

If ordinary snakes had seen people, they would have fled long ago, but when this nest of snakes saw me, not only did they not run, but they also raised their heads and spat out messages to me, as if warning me to leave.

I held the shovel three times and divided five by two to shovel this nest of snakes to death, and a smaller snake saw this, crawled out along the willow roots, and tried to escape into the grass, but I also chased after it and shoveled it into a dozen pieces.

After doing this, I took out five scarecrows from my pocket and put them in the ancestral grave of Zhang Meng's family, the scarecrow had the names of Zhang Meng's family of four, as well as the names of Zhang Meng's second uncle, and then I sprinkled ashes on the scarecrows, and then hurriedly buried the grave again.

It was already three o'clock in the morning after I had done this, and I went home and took a shower, so tired that I quickly fell asleep.

The next morning, I got up to make porridge for my mother, and vaguely heard movement at the door, so I went out to take a look, only to see Zhang Meng's family of three and his second uncle being helped into the car, their skin was black, their faces and bodies were covered with dense thick sores, the thick sores were full of blood, and they looked extremely disgusting.

I didn't expect Xiaobai to tell me that the method would work so quickly, but in the afternoon, the four people were pulled back again, saying that after being sent to the town's health center, the health center had no rule of law, so they were immediately transferred to the big hospital in the city.

Also pulled back was Zhang Meng's eldest brother who entered a wealthy family, who was also covered with thick sores all over his body and died of poisonous hair.

Within one day, Zhang Meng's family was seriously ill and all wiped out, including Zhang Meng's second uncle, because the disease came suddenly, and Zhang Meng's second uncle's family was also afraid of the infection, so the bodies of the five people were cremated and buried on the same day, and moved out of Zhangjiagou the next day.

Poor Zhang Meng died and didn't know how he died, it happened suddenly, I didn't even have a chance to talk to him, and the next morning, another news came from the town, saying that there was a sudden fire in the police station last night, and a police officer surnamed Chen on duty was unfortunately killed.

Xiaobai did it neatly, and even Xiao Chen and Zhang Meng died before they could contact me to talk about money.

While I was happy, I couldn't help but worry, because I didn't expect Xiaobai to kill people so easily, and she actually knew Feng Shui.

My grandfather is more of a believer in feng shui, he once told me that there are many capable people in the world who are proficient in the art of feng shui, feng shui is one of the left ways of Taoism, and those who are proficient can kill people invisibly, and can even make the enemy family haunted by bad luck for generations, and life is worse than death.

In the past, the people of Zhangjiagou were buried by inviting Mr. Yin and Yang from the neighboring villages to choose the burial of their ancestors, but last time Xu Banxian fell in Zhangjiagou, Mr. Yin and Yang from other villages did not dare to come.

Nowadays, Mr. Yin and Yang's business is also prosperous, and how many people have been ruined by breaking the four olds back then, and the old bachelor is a living example.

Therefore, most of the existing Mr. Yin and Yang are half-hangers, either after reading half of the old book of Yin and Yang Feng Shui, they don't know how to draw a scoop according to the gourd to show Feng Shui, or they use the words of the blind fortune teller on the side of the road to talk nonsense, and they say things that they half-understand and half-understand, looking like a fairy.

The most important thing in the art of yin and yang feng shui is the teacher's inheritance, without the teacher's inheritance, no matter how self-taught you are, it is all in vain, because the real secret art will not be recorded in the book at all, and it is obvious that the old bachelor has a teacher.

So after Zhang Meng's family was buried, everyone returned to the village, and the old bachelor was still standing in the ancestral cemetery, looking at the grave with a high tombstone with an obscure face and saying: "This ancestral tomb of Zhang Meng's family has been touched." ”

Zhang Meng's family died inexplicably, except for me, no one in the village knows why their family died suddenly, although many people have seen the contradiction between me and Zhang Meng, but Zhang Meng's family died of a poisonous sore, no one will suspect my head, as for the death of police officer Xiao Chen, no one suspects that it is related to me.

As soon as Zhang Meng and Xiao Chen died, no one knew the secret that I took Zhang Fugui's 200,000 yuan, and I paid money to the production team for the half-acre fish pond downstream of the reservoir, which naturally became mine, and no one could stop me from raising fish.

But after Zhang Meng's family was wiped out, the original big reservoir in Zhangjiagou was also ownerless, and how many people stared at this piece of fat without profit, especially the captains of several production teams in the village branch, who usually called brothers and sisters, at this time, they should turn their faces and turn their faces, and they didn't even want to average the score.

In the end, the village chief came forward to announce that the reservoir was temporarily ownerless, and anyone could fish freely, and that the new village party secretary would be transferred to discuss the ownership issue later.

When Xiaobai wanted to help me solve the problem of Zhang Meng and Xiao Chen, she said that she wanted me to do her a favor after the matter was completed, I thought it was a tricky thing, after all, she had to let people help her, how could I have that ability? But what I didn't expect was that what Xiaobai asked me to do was very simple, that is, to cut down the old locust tree at the head of the village.

The old locust tree at the head of Zhangjiagou village has to be hugged by three adults to be able to report it, it is rumored that this tree has lived for more than 200 years, and it was planted in the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

In recent years, pastoral tourism has risen in various places, the previous village party secretary had applied to the above to develop Zhangjiagou into a tourist resort, but the above did not approve, saying that Zhangjiagou has nothing landmark, so the village party secretary wanted to apply for the protection of cultural relics in our village for more than 200 years, but in the end it also failed, because it is normal for the tree to live for 200 years.

The big trees that have lived for more than a hundred years in the mountains are all over the mountains, not to mention the big trees that can generally apply for the protection of cultural relics, either there are poignant legends, or there are big people who have patronized them, either the emperor or the saints such as Confucius, Meng, and Zhou kings, no matter how bad they are, they have to be great writers like Li Bai Dufu.

Zhangjiagou is a poor mountain and bad water, the scenery is not good-looking, the birds in this place don't want to, let alone those big people, so no one believes that this old locust tree is forcibly linked to ancient celebrities, but this old locust tree is not without legends, it has legends, but it is not a good thing, because it is rumored that since the Jiaqing period to the present, at least 100 people have been hanged on the tree, and no less than 50 people have been hanged during the Cultural Revolution alone.

So the old locust tree also has a scary name, called the hanging tree.

At the time of breaking the four olds, all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods would be swept away, such as the fox fairy temple at the back of the village, such as the godlike Ma Taoist, and the old bachelor, all of which became history, but the old locust tree at the head of the village did not fall, because it was too evil.

It is rumored that two Red Guards did not believe in evil and cut down a tree with an axe a few times, and the bark of the tree broke and blood flowed, and then the two of them had a high fever one after another, and died within a few days.

And the reason why I think it is easy to cut this tree is because this tree was planted by my ancestors, and the most important thing is that I have money now, since Xiaobai wants me to help cut down the tree, then no matter what the reason, I have to cut down this tree.

But I didn't expect that when everyone heard that I was going to cut down trees, a group of people would come against me, and the first to stand up against me was my second uncle.
