Although this old man is more than 100 years old, his body is very tough.

Under the eaves lay a yellowed blanket, on which the old man lay with squinted eyes as if he had no quarrel with the world.

"Old man, you ......"

The old man raised his eyelids slightly, looked at me, and then looked at Rong Rong who was standing beside me, and said, "The village tosses the dogs and comes to toss me, I'm old, but I can't stand your tossing." ”

Rong Rong smiled sweetly and said, "Old man, you misunderstood, we just came here this time to talk to you about the wooden tower." ”

"Wooden Tower?"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Rong Rong with a wary expression.

"Wooden tower, what wooden tower, the old man has lived in this village for so many years and has never heard of any wooden tower."

I looked at the old man's appearance at this time, and I knew that this old man must know something and deliberately concealed it.

"Don't get me wrong, old man, we are not in the same group as those people, we are just here to find out the customs and customs of the neighborhood."

"Customs? Hum. ”

With that, the old man closed his eyes again.

Seeing this, Rong Rong pulled my arm, and then the two of us withdrew. Standing at the door, Rong Rong whispered to me, "This old man knows something, so I have to pry his mouth open today." ”

"How?"

"I have a way."

As she spoke, Rong Rong escaped from her pocket with a wooden box, which was quaint and simple I had seen before.

"You're ......"

"You go back first, and I'll tell you when I find out the news."

Rong Rong practiced black magic, so I knew exactly what she had in the box. I took a deep breath and said to her, "You're going to use Gu on her?" ”

She just sighed softly.

"The so-called ignorant is not guilty, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, I'm already a bad person...... It doesn't matter anymore. ”

If it was me who was standing in front of her at this time, I would definitely have prevented her from using witch magic on this centenarian, but after experiencing so many things at this time, I have already looked down on the cycle of life and death.

I turned and went back to the old lady's house, who was tidying up the yard, and I hurried up to help.

For a whole morning, I helped the old lady clean inside and out, and waited until the third o'clock in the morning before Rong Rong came back from the old man's house.

"How's it going?"

Rong Rong's face turned pale, she looked at me and said, "The old man probably won't survive this winter." ”

I nodded slightly.

"The wooden tower did exist, and according to the old man, when the wooden tower was built, the workers had just built the base and then it all disappeared overnight."

"Gone?"

I looked at Rong Rong in front of me in shock.

"Yes, that pedestal is what we have seen so far, and the villagers at that time had a lot of discussion about it, and they all thought that the female ghost had taken revenge and killed all the gentlemen and workers who sealed it."

"And then?"

"It wasn't until five months later that the workers and gentlemen suddenly reappeared in the village."

"Wait, is the gentleman he is talking about your uncle?"

Rong Rong nodded and continued, "At that time, all the workers who participated in the construction came out of the ancestral temple, and it was dark at that time, and those people left in a hurry without asking for wages from the village. ”

"Ancestral Temple...... This is strange, how can they appear in the ancestral temple? ”

"So the crux of the matter is still in the temple, and I guess the gang will be there tonight, so we have to be prepared today."

After lunch, Rong Rong and I bought a lot of yellow paper at the village shop. Although Rong Rong said that she rested on traditional witchcraft, she also knew a little about this puppetry.

Soon, the pile of yellow paper turned into two villains in Rong Rong's hands. After Rong Rong drew the eyes of those little people, she looked at me and said, "Why don't you go out again?" ”

"What's wrong?"

She shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "I need to open up the spiritual sense to these little people." ”

"Can't I be there?"

"To open the spiritual sense, you need to use the yang fire and body of a living person, if you are present, ......"

I knew she was doing it for my own good, so I didn't say anything more, turned around and left the room. And just as I closed the door, the aura behind me suddenly became agitated.

In order to prevent my grandmother from going back suddenly, I had to stand outside the house and keep watch.

Since my Taoist cultivation at this time is no longer what it used to be, I know what is going on in this house even if I don't look back.

I felt the pain of a dead soul struggling, after all, how painful it was to compress the body of a normal person into a paper figure the size of a palm.

I took a deep breath and endured it all tightly.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the "boiling" aura behind him gradually calmed down. When the aura was completely gone, I turned around and went back into the room.

At this time, I saw that Rong Rong's face was even more ugly, and there was even a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth.

"You...... Hello, okay? ”

Rong Rong nodded slightly, she handed me one of the small figures, and said, "Tonight, before they climb over the wall and go in, put this doll in the northwest corner of the courtyard." ”

I nodded.

"What about you?"

"I'm going to take a good rest, this puppet trick still needs cinnabar and incense candle paper money, you go and help me prepare it now."

With that, Rong Rong slowly got up from the ground, she turned around and walked to the side of the bed, and climbed up with great difficulty by holding on to the edge of the bed. She lay on the bed, her eyes closed and her face serene.

To be honest, she really looked like a corpse at this time.

I hurried to get ready as she instructed, and by the time I had everything ready, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

It's sunset, and the whole village is covered in a warm orange hue. When I stood at the gate of the courtyard, I saw Rong Rong squatting in the courtyard, the afterglow of the setting sun tightly sprinkled on her body.

"All ready?"

I smiled and didn't speak.

"You're better......"

"To tell you the truth, if there is an afterlife, I would like to be reborn here...... Enjoy life...... Enjoy the afterglow. ”

Grandma Yanran is used to our presence, and the farmer's dinner is very early, and Rong Rong and I will start preparing after dinner.

She was in charge of setting up the altar, and I was out of my body again, and when night fell, I secretly hid the doll in the courtyard of the ancestral hall.

Once everything was ready, all I had to do was wait for the gang to arrive.
