Chapter 3 Mengjia Ancestral Hall

Mao Shijiu has never understood why his apprentice, who was born with yin and yang eyes and a natural Taoist body, is so stupid, and after studying for six years, he can only draw a pure heart talisman.

Mao Nineteen was a little doubtful about his ability to deduce, and when his thoughts were messy, someone from the Taoist Temple came.

An elderly man in his fifties walked to the door and shouted, "Is anyone there?" When Mao Nineteen heard this, he was quite unhappy: "Am I not human?" ”

The old man smiled awkwardly and walked into the Taoist temple, although it was a dilapidated Taoist temple, but it still enshrined the three Qings, and the incense was never broken.

The old man smiled at Mao Nineteen and said, "What is this Taoist chief called" Mao Nineteen stroked his beard lightly, and put on what he thought was the most noble: "Poor Dao Mao Nineteen is the nineteenth generation of the Maoshan faction"

When the old man heard this, he said respectfully: "Mao Dao Chang is good, my name is Meng Pingsheng, I am from Hezi Village, Xixiang under the mountain, my daughter-in-law passed away a few days ago, I want to ask a Taoist to handle it, I don't know if Mao Dao Chang is convenient?" ”

When Mao Nineteen heard this, he said in his heart: Seeing that the old guy is brightly dressed, he must be a rich man, and he must be slaughtered ruthlessly. Thinking of this, Mao 19 raised his hand and pinched his fingers, as if he was calculating something, and after a while, Mao 19 asked the old man, "Is the day of the burial confirmed?" ”

When the old man heard this, he shook his head helplessly: "It's not decided yet, I want to ask the Taoist chief to help me see what day to choose" Mao Shijiu nodded: "Okay!" I'll go with you, but what! The rules of our Maoshan faction..."

When the old man heard this, he immediately understood what Mao Shijiu meant, and said with a smile: "Dao Chief, I know this, as long as you go and help me get things done, I will give you 30,000 yuan as a reward, and here is a deposit of 5,000, you take it first" The old man said as he took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Mao Shijiu.

Mao 19 took the envelope bag and smiled even more: "Mr. Meng, don't worry, I'll prepare and go with you immediately" After speaking, Mao 19 walked into the inner room and said to Wen Hao: "Mouse, this time I will take you to see the world for the teacher"

When Wen Hao heard this, he immediately asked, "Master, are you going now?" Mao Shijiu smiled and said: "That's a must, hurry up and take the guys and set off, people are still waiting outside!" ”

After a while, Wen Hao prepared his line, put on his shoulders, and followed Mao Shijiu out of the Taoist temple, which was not too far from the Taoist temple to Xixiang Hezi Village, but due to the rugged mountain road, it took the three of them half a day to reach the Meng family in Xixiang Hezi Village.

Meng Pingsheng took Mao 19 and Wen Hao to the Meng family ancestral hall, Mao 19 immediately felt a deep aura rushing to his nose, raised his eyes and glanced at Meng Pingsheng, only to see that his face was calm and could not see anything unusual.

Meng Pingsheng was born outside the door of the ancestral hall, and said to Mao 19 and Wen Hao: "Mao Daochang, it's inside" After saying that, Meng Pingsheng stepped into the door, and Mao 19 took Wen Hao into the ancestral hall.

Mao Shijiu did not walk towards the coffin, but took out a compass and paced back and forth in the ancestral hall, pinching his fingers while looking at the compass carefully.

Wen Hao looked at Mao Shijiu's long-lost serious expression, and said in his heart: Looking at the master's appearance, this time eighty percent has encountered hard stubble.

Just when Wen Hao was thinking nonsense, Mao Shijiu walked to Wen Hao's side: "Mouse, give me the guy" Wen Hao heard this, took off the yellow cloth bag, and handed it to Mao Shijiu.

Mao 19 took out a blank yellow paper talisman in the yellow cloth bag, bit his index finger, began to chant words in his mouth, and then used his bloody fingers to draw a talisman on the blank yellow paper.

After doing all this, Mao Shijiu said to Meng Pingsheng: "Mr. Meng, let's go outside to talk" After speaking, without waiting for Meng Pingsheng to agree, he walked straight outside the ancestral hall.

Wen Hao followed, and Meng Pingsheng glanced at the talisman on the lid of the coffin, and followed out of the ancestral hall.

Outside the ancestral hall, Meng Pingsheng said: "Master Mao, the front is my house, go to my house to rest for a while" Mao Nineteen nodded, and followed Meng Pingsheng to the Meng family's house.

Meng Pingsheng's wife saw the guests and immediately served tea, and in the living room, Mao Shijiu took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Meng, can you tell me the truth about the cause of your daughter-in-law's death?" ”

Meng Pingsheng glanced at Mao Nineteen, and sighed: "Mao Daochang, my daughter-in-law is a hard-working person, she got a strange illness some time ago, and she sought medical treatment in many ways, but she couldn't be cured, and finally died of depression."

When Mao Nineteen heard this, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were obviously puzzled: "Mr. Meng, I hope you can tell the truth" Meng Pingsheng said affirmatively: "Mao Daochang, is it necessary for me to lie to you about this matter?" ”

Knowing that it would be superfluous to ask again, Mao Shijiu got up and said to Meng Pingsheng: "Mr. Meng, don't tear the talisman I stick to the coffin, and set a burial date tomorrow."

Meng Pingsheng nodded: "Okay, is it okay for the Taoist chief to spend one night in the cold house today?" Mao Shijiu shook his head: "I won't bother the two of my master and apprentice" "The mountain road is rugged, and it is very hard for the Taoist to go back and forth, so it is better to stay here!" Meng Pingsheng retained again.

Mao Nineteen smiled: "It's okay, people in the mountains and wilderness, I've long been used to it, say goodbye" After speaking, he greeted Wen Hao and left.

Meng Pingsheng's wife walked out at this time, looked at Meng Pingsheng and asked, "Master, what's going on?" "This Mao Dao Chang doesn't know if he can help, I'll talk about it tomorrow" Meng Pingsheng's words seemed to be answering, but in fact, Meng Pingsheng's wife didn't get any answer.

Meng Pingsheng's wife had a complaining look: "Boss, when is our son going to hide, he has been away from home for more than ten days" Meng Pingsheng, who wanted to go back to the room to rest, heard his wife's words with anger: "A loving mother is a loser"

Wen Hao followed Mao Shijiu to the entrance of Hezi Village, Xixiang, Mao Shijiu stopped, and said to Wen Hao with a smile: "Mouse, what did you feel today?" ”

When Wen Hao heard this, he thought for a while: "I feel that after entering the ancestral hall, there is a strong corpse aura" Mao Shijiu nodded: "Yes, there is indeed a strong corpse aura, then Meng Pingsheng didn't tell us the truth"

"Master, what do you mean?" Wen Hao said puzzled, Mao Shijiu smiled: "If his daughter-in-law really dies, how can there be a corpse spirit?" There must be a secret in between."

When Wen Hao heard this, he asked, "Master, do you mean that Meng Pingsheng's daughter-in-law was killed by someone?" "After a person dies, the main reason why there is a corpse aura is because the resentment in front of him is too heavy, and he is unwilling to die, and then he becomes a ghost and asks for his life" Mao Shijiu patiently solved Wen Hao's doubts.

But Wen Hao was still puzzled: "Then why are the Meng family all right?" Mao Shijiu sneered: "Didn't you pay attention to the color of the coffin? ”

When Wen Hao heard this, he thought about it carefully: "By the way, Master, the color of the coffin is red, very red and very red, just like blood stained red."

Mao Shijiu nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, the coffin is brushed with a layer of rooster blood, and the rooster is the thing of the sun, so the guy in the coffin didn't come out, but the reason why the Meng family didn't bury it was because no one could carry the coffin at all."

Wen Hao nodded and said: "I see, I am unwilling, the coffin weighs as much as a thousand catties, even if the coffin is lifted, it will fall to the ground, there is such a record in the master's book"

"Yes, because the resentment is extremely heavy, so sooner or later this yin spirit will come out to ask for his life" Mao Shijiu looked at Wen Hao appreciatively, but Wen Hao was still puzzled, so he asked: "Master, doesn't the coffin have rooster blood?" At most, the coffin is very heavy, and no one can carry it, but it is impossible for the Yin Soul not to be afraid of the blood of the rooster! ”

Mao Shijiu smiled: "Silly boy, after the rooster's blood dries up, its effect will be gone, which is why the teacher drew a charm to suppress evil spirits today."

Hearing this, Wen Hao finally understood, but as soon as he understood, he heard Mao Nineteen speak: "Mouse, tonight, you go to wait outside the ancestral hall and set up an altar for the teacher to return to the Taoist Temple."

When Wen Hao heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Master, let me go!" "Silly boy, you are born with a Dao body, born with yin and yang eyes, it is impossible for evil spirits to get close to you, and if you talk about these things, you will have to go through these things sooner or later, and after a hundred years of Master, you will have to rely on yourself, you are the twentieth generation descendant of my Maoshan faction!" Mao Nineteen said.

Mao Shijiu saw what Wen Hao was going to say, and said slightly angrily: "Taoism is upright, righteousness lasts forever, how can you be afraid of evil, it's so decided."

Mao Nineteen threw Wen Hao a hundred oceans, saying that he wanted Wen Hao to find a place to eat by himself, and then walked away, Wen Hao looked at Mao Nineteen's back with an aggrieved face, so he had to go to a restaurant near the village to eat.

When night falls, the time of the child arrives quickly, and rural people generally go to bed early, and there is no family in Xixiang Hezi Village with the lights on at this time.

Wen Hao alone took the purchased flashlight and walked towards the ancestral hall of the Meng family, giving himself courage all the way: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm born with yin and yang eyes, born with a Taoist body, not afraid or afraid"

Although I saw a lot of strange things when I was a child, but at that time I was not sensible, as I grew older, Wen Hao rarely saw those unclean things, and he has been learning Maoshan magic all these years, although he is not proficient in learning, but he is very clear about ghosts.

Outside the ancestral hall of the Meng family, the wind was gusting, Wen Hao looked around outside the ancestral hall, and found that there was no situation, so he stayed at the door and waited according to what the master said.

Staying outside the ancestral hall for half an hour without any movement, Wen Hao was also tired of standing, found a clean cement step outside the ancestral hall, and sat down directly to rest.

"Bang bang bang..." The continuous sound of wooden blocks crashing came from the ancestral hall, and Wen Hao stood up with a spirit, and said in his heart: It won't be to take something out.

Although he was a little scared, Wen Hao slowly approached the main entrance of the ancestral hall, only to see the moonlight shining on the coffin, which looked extremely eerie and terrifying.

The sound of "bang bang" came from the coffin, Wen Hao stood nervously at the door, looking at the coffin that was a little shaky, and after staring at it for more than ten minutes, the coffin just made a sound, and Wen Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But before Wen Hao could slow down, there was a loud noise, and the coffins in the ancestral hall became several pieces and scattered, Wen Hao was shocked: "What is this, zombie?" That's not right! How can it be a zombie"

Although he was frightened, Wen Hao still kept his senses, and the only thought in his mind was to escape.
