They're so elusive that I don't even know when they went out.

Wu Qingquan frowned and circled the coffin several times.

Wu Kai asked puzzled, "Uncle, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wu Qingquan looked around, his gaze sliding over where I was hiding. Then he said lightly, "It's okay, we can do it!" ”

Wu Kai agreed, and instructed the two people, "Xiao Liu, Da Li, you transport this coffin out!" ”

The two of them agreed, and then a cart was pushed, and the four of them worked together to load one of the coffins onto the cart.

The two of them pushed the cart, and the Wu uncle and nephew followed closely behind them.

Looking at the direction, they should be heading out of the village, and I quietly followed them.

Along the way, none of them spoke, only the creaking sound of the trolley being crushed by the coffin.

Three or four hundred meters away from the village, just east of the village, Wu Qingquan turned his head to look at the village, as if he was measuring the distance.

He took a few more steps forward and said, "Just put the coffin here." ”

They agreed, and placed the coffin on the ground. Wu Qingquan said, "It's okay, let's go back." ”

They pushed the cart back on.

It gave me the impression that they were playing a trick and were moving in the middle of the night to get the coffin here.

There's something incredible about it.

I can't figure out what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds.

I waited for more than an hour, but there was no movement around, and the coffin was left alone.

If you want to figure out what's going on, you'll have to follow them. I made up my mind, and I went back to my lodgings.

The next morning, the streets suddenly became lively.

Uncle He ran in in a hurry and said with a smile, "Young man, hurry up and see the excitement." ”

"What's the excitement?" I asked, puzzled.

Uncle He said, "The two gentlemen invited by the village chief are really amazing, and they are helping the village solve the problem. Everyone went. ”

That's when I remembered, because I slept so late last night that I overslept all at once, and I don't even know when they left.

I hurriedly followed Uncle He out of the door. I saw the villagers walking towards the outside of the village.

What they went to was the same place where Wu's uncle and nephew had placed their coffins last night.

By the time we arrived, there were already a lot of people gathered there. Wu Qingquan, the village chief and others stood in front of the crowd.

Wu Qingquan said to Wu Kai, "Kai'er, you can open the coffin!" ”

Looking at the coffin stained with mud, the villagers' faces were full of surprise, and they all retreated willingly.

Wu Qingquan's expression was very calm, and Wu Kai went over to open the coffin.

I've seen it myself, and the coffin contains most of the blood, and there are a lot of frogs.

Even though it was only one night, I didn't hear the frogs cry.

Wu Kai lifted the lid of the coffin, and I stood in front of the crowd and glanced into the coffin.

To my astonishment, I found that the coffin was empty. Not only are the frogs gone, but even the blood is gone.

Wu Kai seemed to be very satisfied, and said to Wu Qingquan, "Third uncle, the matter is done!" ”

Wu Qingquan nodded slightly and said, "It seems that the method handed down by the ancestors really works. ”

Everyone walked up to the coffin in confusion and poked their heads to look inside.

The coffin was still stained with blood, and there was a strong smell of blood.

Most conspicuously, there is a thigh-thick hole at the bottom of the coffin.

Then I realized that the blood, along with the frog, had disappeared from that hole.

Is there something in the ground that has gotten rid of them all through that hole?

Wu Qingquan instructed his subordinates, "Come here and dig up the ground." ”

Those two people were sent by the Jiang family to help them.

Although the uncles and nephews of the Wu family had no status in the Jiang family, they did not dare to disobey them.

They carried the broken coffin away and dug it up with a shovel.

Everyone stood from afar, looking at them with puzzled eyes.

Village elder Zhao Ze put his hands behind his back, he seemed to think of something, and said to Wu Qingquan, "Mr. Wu, I heard from my ancestors that more than a hundred years ago, not only did the poultry in the village go missing, but even people had accidents one after another. At that time, the village chief invited a man dressed in gray. He circled around the village, and that night, he gathered a dozen strong men from the village and asked them to help set up a feng shui bureau around the village. This man is really powerful, and since then, there has been no accident in the village. Are you digging up what he left behind? Will things in the village get worse if you do this? ”

Wu Qingquan asked with a smile, "Have you ever asked, what is that person's name?" ”

The village chief pondered for a while and said, "According to the ancestors, that person seems to be surnamed Wu, and his name is Wuzhiqi. ”

When I heard the three words Wuzhiqi, I was stunned, I really didn't expect that my ancestors had also come here.

Could it be that this feng shui bureau was set up by the ancestors?

At that time, the ancestor was in his heyday, and he was the controller of the Yangtze River Valley, and ordinary people could rarely invite him.

He can come to the village in person, and it must be as simple as helping out. Maybe his purpose is the same as Wu Qingquan's.

Wu Qingquan said with a smile, "Brother Zhao, I am also surnamed Wu, you know this." ”

The village chief suddenly realized, "Are you the descendant of that master?" ”

Wu Qingquan said, "Of course, the ancestor attaches great importance to this matter, and told us that if there is anything else in the village, we will do what he tells us." In fact, the ancestors had already planned it. ”

I heard Wu Qingquan say that he is a descendant of Wu Zhiqi. Lao Zhao no longer doubted him.

The men dug more than a foot deep, and with a bang, the shovel touched something. Listening to the sound is a lot like a plank.

Wu Qingquan commanded, "Be careful, don't damage the things below!" ”

They agreed, slowed down, and dug for nearly half an hour, finally clearing out all the floating soil underneath.

To everyone's surprise, they dug up a coffin.

This coffin was just below the coffin that Wu Qingquan and they had carried. It's a coffin-on-coffin pattern.

Wu Qingquan personally jumped into the grave.

Only then did I see clearly that there was also a thigh-thick hole on the lid of the coffin.

Wu Qingquan's expression was very solemn, he opened all the coffin nails on the coffin lid, and then asked Wu Kai to go down to help and lift the coffin lid.

Inside the coffin was a pile of bones, some yellow, as if they had been in for a long time.

Lao Zhao looked at it for a while, and then asked, "How can there be a skeleton of a horse?" ”

Wu Qingquan said with a smile, "This is the wisdom of our ancestors. ”

At the bottom of the coffin, there is also a hole the thickness of a thigh.

The hole was ground smooth, and it seemed that something often crept into the coffin through this hole.

Wu Qingquan moved the horse's skeleton aside.

I was surprised to find that under the skeleton, there was a steel needle more than a foot long.

Because of the age, the steel needles have turned black, and there is no rust on them, more like they have been soaked in some kind of venom.

I kind of understand that maybe some kind of poisonous animal thinks this is its nest.

The steel needle was stained with its venom.

Wu Qingquan took out a piece of skin, carefully wrapped the steel needle, and pulled it out of the coffin.

He said to Wu Kai, "It's okay, put the coffin on." ”

Wu Kai then restored the coffin to its original appearance.

Everyone worked together to restore the place to its original state.

Wu Qingquan asked the tattered coffin on it to be burned.

From this day on, every night, Wu Qingquan would have a coffin pulled outside the village.

Each coffin is placed in a different position. They are located in eight directions of the village.

The next morning, he would dig out another coffin from under the coffin. It's just that in each coffin, there is an animal's skeleton. In addition to cattle and horses, there are also poultry and livestock such as cats and dogs.

There are a total of eight coffins around the village. From each coffin, he took out a steel needle more than a foot long.

It wasn't until he took out all the eight steel needles that Wu Qingquan breathed a sigh of relief.

explained to Lao Zhao, "There is a very terrifying spirit beast hidden in the old locust tree, named Eight Pythons. This stuff is very toxic. When someone in the village had an accident, they all died because of its poisoning. It is because the ancestors set up the feng shui bureau of the eight coffins around the village. It was trapped in the old locust tree, so that it could not come out and harm people. Nowadays, the Feng Shui Bureau has lost its effect because of the age, so we have come to get rid of it completely. ”

Lao Zhao completely convinced him.

Wu Qingquan continued, "The Eight Heads Python likes to eat frogs soaked in blood the most, they can reduce its poison. In order to get rid of it, the ancestors also took great pains. ”
