Chapter 168: The Other Side of the Mountain
I briefly told the second master that Li Guofeng's body was stolen by Yang Feng, and that his parents were killed by the corpse-transformed Li Guofeng, and that the latter was punished by the demon sword.
The second master took out a cigarette stick from his sleeve, took a puff of smoke and said faintly: "The reincarnation of heaven is ultimately invincible to evil." ”
I shook my head and said noncommittally: "Rather than believing in such an empty thing as the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, I believe that things are man-made. ”
The second master smiled and asked, "By the way, you haven't told me yet, what are you doing here?" ”
I said embarrassedly: "I forgot to patrol the mountain, I didn't expect it to be dark, just not far from your hometown, so I came over for a meal and spent the night by the way." ”
"It's really young and promising, and if the old ghost knows that his heir is working so hard, he will be happy to come, right?"
The second master smiled and spit out another puff of smoke and said: "You can come, I am very welcome, but there is no good food to entertain, only coarse tea and light rice, so let's take a while." ”
As he spoke, he led me into the house.
I saw that the second master's house was deserted, so I asked, "Second master, do you live alone?" ”
"Or else? Your second master has never married a daughter-in-law in his life, but he has an eldest brother, but his son made a fortune and moved to live in the city, and he doesn't look down on me, a poor second uncle. ”
The second uncle smiled, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, and his mood did not change in the slightest.
I sighed in my heart, I don't know if I can be as happy as his old man when I get old?
I said, "That's because they have no eyes, if they can learn the skills of Master Mumo, if they can learn the skills of Master Mumo......"
Before I finished speaking, the second master waved his hand and said, "What can I do?" It's a bad old man, it's good to have someone dig a pit for me and bury it after I die. ”
I pursed my lips, remembering the mage I had met at the top of the tree in the secret realm of heaven before, and he sacrificed that spirit flag, and its terrifying power still makes me feel terrified when I think about it.
Although the second master in front of me looks old, I don't dare to underestimate him.
He definitely has the means to be no weaker than the Conjuring Banner.
Seeing that the second master didn't want to mention the matter of Master Mumo, I didn't say any more about it, and started a family conversation with him, chatting about what I saw and heard, and talked about geography.
After eating and drinking, the two came outside and sat under a lychee tree not far away to enjoy the shade.
At this time, the sky was completely dark, and a crescent moon appeared on the side of the mountain, dotted with stars, and the outline of the surrounding mountains was faintly visible.
The second master told me that the reason why the village where they are located is called Longyi Village is because it has a background.
I became curious and asked, "What's the origin?" ”
Then the second master pointed to the two mountain ranges behind the village and said, "Do you see the two mountain ranges pillow behind the village?" It is two dragon veins, gathering in the back mountain, and there is a mountain waterfall of dozens of zhang hanging down at the gathering head. ”
"Double dragons gather their heads, and the dragon's mouth overflows, according to the feng shui pattern, this is a typical ambergris water."
The second master smoked a dry cigarette, and then said: "The river at the entrance of the village is named after this, called Longsalir River, and our village is called Longyi Village. ”
I don't know anything about feng shui, but looking at the outlines of the two mountain ranges in the dark, they really look like two dragons, and said with a smile: "The feng shui pattern here is so good, there will definitely be people who are rich and noble, just like you, the second master." ”
I slapped a sycophant silently, but unexpectedly, the second master shook his head and said: "Double dragon gathering is not a good feng shui pattern, if it is a male and a female, it is fine, but if it is...... Same-sex, I'm afraid it will be a lot of disasters. ”
However, our village has settled here for decades, and there have been no major disasters, so it can be regarded as safe.
I don't really believe in any feng shui pattern, so I don't dare to make any remarks, the second master said, I listened.
While the two were talking, a woman suddenly muttered out of another room.
When she saw us, she shouted, "Yo, there's a guest at the second master's house...... By the way, don't you see that dead ghost in our house? He said to pick up his daughter, why hasn't he come back yet, and the food is cold! ”
The second master shook his head and said, "Didn't the camel just go out for a long time, just wait." ”
"You don't know how old you are...... I was afraid that he would go to the old guys' house to drink again, and he didn't pick up his daughter at all......"
I interjected that I had just seen him cross the stone bridge and was really going to pick up his daughter, and if she was really in a hurry, why didn't she call and ask?
The woman thought about it right, and turned back to the house to make a phone call.
The second master looked at her back and whispered to me: "This family usually doesn't get along very well, Ling'er was tired of them when she was a child, and she was beaten a lot, but now that she has grown up and been admitted to college, their attitude towards Ling'er is much better." But the husband and wife still quarrel often. ”
I glanced at the second master in surprise and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that you are such an old-fashioned person, and you are so gossipy." ”
The second master laughed and said: "Old man, always gossip, young people should be more considerate." ”
"It's not early, and we don't have TV to watch at home, take a cold shower and rest early."
The second master said as he led me into the house.
Older men don't care if they take a cold or hot shower, and besides, it's not cold now.
After taking a bath, the second master arranged a room for me, the room was very simple, there were many sundries piled up in it, dark and musty.
People are content to stay under the eaves of the house, and besides, I came here like this when I was a child, so naturally I didn't pay so much attention to it.
But...... I have to say that the second master is really thrifty, he is not willing to buy a TV, and even the mobile phone he uses is a dilapidated old-fashioned Nokia.
It stands to reason that he is the head of a team, and he usually does a ritual for people, and he has to have a thousand yuan to say the least.
Where did he spend all that money?
Doubts are doubts, but this is a private matter after all, and it is not easy to ask.
Rural people have the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, I have been climbing mountains and wading through the water for a day, at this time my muscles and bones are tired, lying on the wooden bed after a while and falling asleep.
In the second half of the night, I suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the next room, especially the sound of a woman cursing.
"Drink! Drink! I know how to drink it every day, why don't you drink it and die outside? asked you to pick up your daughter, what are you doing when you come back if your daughter doesn't pick her up? ”
"Stinky woman, you know how to play tricks all day long, Lao Tzu doesn't dislike you, but you suspect Lao Tzu is coming!"
"How many years did you say you married me? I didn't even give birth to an egg, my daughters were all picked up from other people's houses, and you are fucking embarrassed to scold me......"
“……”
The noise spread far away in the darkness.
In the end, the other party seemed to move his hand, and the woman's screams and cries, the man's angry shouts, and the sound of throwing things rang out.
I was so noisy that I couldn't sleep, so I turned on the light and went out the door.
The second master was obviously also woken up, and came out of the room at this moment, looked at me and smiled bitterly: "It's always been like this, just get used to it!" ”
I wondered, "They seem to be fighting, can't you always persuade them?" What if something happens? ”
"It's not going to happen, the camel knows how to measure. Besides, it was useless to persuade in the past, so let's go back to sleep. ”
In rural areas, quarrels between husband and wife are commonplace.
I shook my head and ignored it.
I didn't sleep very well, and the noise in the next room lasted for more than two hours before it finally stopped.
I woke up at six o'clock the next day, and when I got up, I found that the second master woke up earlier than me, and was cooking porridge in the stove room.
After drinking two bowls of gruel, I said goodbye to the second master and turned back to the mountain.
At this time, the sky was bright, and the white mist that shrouded the valley had not completely dissipated, and most of the villagers did not get up, but no one noticed me when I left the village.
It's just that for some reason, the moment I stepped out of the village, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
This premonition grew stronger and stronger as he approached the ambergris river, as if something bad was happening.
I've always believed in my feelings, and my whole body tensed up and became vigilant.
However, nothing happened until I stepped onto the stone bridge, which made me wonder why I suddenly had such a wonderful feeling.
"Whew-"
As I walked down the stone bridge, a strong cold wind blew from the river, and I shivered with excitement.
For no reason, I got goosebumps all over my body.
It's March now, why is the wind still so cold?
This is so abnormal......
"Save ...... Help ......"
Then another cold wind blew from the river, and a woman's crying cry for help could be heard faintly in the wind, but when I listened with bated breath, I could hear nothing.
Thinking of the sense of crisis just now, I couldn't help but sink in my heart, and turned my head to look under the stone bridge.
There was an unsettling aura coming from that place.
I remembered what the coffin bearer said to me last night, that the guy he was eating was hanging under this stone bridge, could it be that the feeling that disturbed me had something to do with the camel?
"Whatever weird it is, go down and take a look."
After experiencing the Underground Burial Lake and the Heavenly Secret Realm, I had become much bolder, and with a little hesitation, I picked up the reeds and grass and went down to the bottom of the bridge pier.
As soon as I got down to the pier, I saw a thigh-thick log hanging horizontally under the bridge. The log had been peeled and looked smooth, but the smooth surface was stained with blood-like paint.
This should be what the camel calls "the guy who eats".
Carry the coffin, the wood should be stained with the coffin's paint.
I frowned, this coffin doesn't look weird, huh?
Under the stone bridge, the two sides of the river are higher, and there is sand and gravel, and I looked around, and immediately fixed my eyes on the other end of the stone bridge.
On the gravel sand under the bridge at the other end, I saw a woman with her back to the sky, face down, half-submerged in water.
Her feet were on the shore, her upper body was soaked in the water, and her black hair was washed by the river, and she didn't move.
"Not good, someone is drowning!"
Frightened, I hurriedly jumped into the water and swam towards the drowning woman opposite......
