Chapter 84: Demolition of the Ancestral Hall
The village chief was worried about the spiritual position of the ancestors. And what we're worried about is the willow tree spirit in the courtyard of the ancestral hall!
After a brief tidying up, everyone hurried to the ancestral hall.
Not far from the ancestral hall, I saw two groups of people standing at the gate of the ancestral hall. Each is more than thirty. From afar, we heard them shouting there!
The people in the village shouted, "What do you want to do?" This is the ancestral hall where we worship our ancestors. If you dare to mess around, we'll fight with you! β
"Yes!"
"That's right! Fight with them! β
At this moment, the villagers are full of righteous indignation one by one, and they have a posture of fighting if they don't agree with each other!
The village chief was worried that the two sides would really fight, so he hurriedly walked out. Say loudly, "What are you arguing about?" Shut your mouth for me! β
As soon as they saw the village chief coming, the villagers in the village seemed to have found their backbone. One by one, they began to talk about what happened to the village chief.
The general meaning is that this time Team Liu brought people over to demolish the ancestral hall in the village!
After listening to the villagers, the village chief waved his hand and stopped their quarrel. Turning his head to Team Liu, he said, "Team Liu, what do you mean by this?" This ancestral hall is used by the people of our village to worship our ancestors. What is the difference between you doing this and digging up our ancestral graves? β
Hearing the village chief's words, Team Liu waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "Village chief, I think you have misunderstood!" We have no intention of demolishing your ancestral hall. It's a makeover! It's for the sake of your village!
The last time I visited, I found that the houses in your village were so dilapidated. So, I reported it. As a result, the authorities attached great importance to it, and immediately sent a group of construction teams to your village to help renovate the houses. The first place to be prepared for execution is this ancestral hall! To be precise, this should be a good thing for you! β
After listening to Team Liu's words, some villagers who reacted slowly quickly stopped saying anything. However, we know very well that this is just some high-sounding rhetoric! Who knows when they will be able to build the ancestral hall after they have demolished it?
The village chief also seemed to think of this, so he asked Team Liu: "After you demolish the ancestral hall, where will the spiritual seat of the ancestors in our village be placed?" You can't just put it on the street, right? β
Team Liu shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is the meaning of the top, and I can't help it!" My job is to supervise the construction team to renovate! The rest is none of my hands! β
Speaking of this, Team Liu suddenly changed his words and said, "I also know that you are very difficult!" Why don't you do it? Everyone makes a step. I will not touch your ancestral hall today. However, I have to tear down and smash this gate and courtyard wall. What do you think? β
The reason why Team Liu said this was that he planned to settle for the next best thing and carry out his plan step by step! Don't look at what he says nicely, what kind of instructions from above. To put it bluntly, he held a grudge against the last incident and deliberately came back to take revenge!
The village chief hesitated for a long time, although the ancestral hall was the most important place in their village. However, if it really offends Team Liu, then it is definitely not a good thing for the village! After all, these people are ordinary people. Small arms can't twist the thighs!
After much hesitation, the village chief nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the village chief had compromised, Team Liu was very happy. Then, with a wave of his hand, the group of people standing behind him immediately walked up with shovels, sledgehammers and other tools.
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, the second uncle walked out and stood in front of those people.
Seeing the second uncle come forward, Team Liu immediately became impatient: "What do you mean?" What I'm going to demolish is the ancestral hall of this village, what does it have to do with you? β
The second uncle didn't speak, but just asked for the key to the ancestral hall gate from the village chief. Then, the gates were opened.
As the door was opened, we saw that the original blood-red willow leaves had all returned to their normal color at this time. And all the willow branches hung quietly in the air, not moving! Looks like the ghosts around the willow spirit are gone!
Seeing this scene, the second uncle didn't say anything more. Just silently stood aside.
Team Liu stared at the second uncle in surprise for a while, not understanding what the second uncle was doing.
How did he know that the second uncle was actually protecting them by doing this!
Seeing that no one finally came forward to stop them, Team Liu did not hesitate to order those workers to start construction.
With the sound of "ping pong", the workers began to tear down the outer wall of the ancestral hall.
After a while, it was dusty. Choked so much that we all retreated, only the second uncle was still standing there quietly, staring at the inside of the ancestral hall.
After about half an hour, the walls of the ancestral hall were finally smashed in half.
It was at this time that the workers all exclaimed. They all ran back, a little overwhelmed.
Seeing their appearance, even if we were standing in the distance, we knew that something must be wrong! So, Qiao, Fatzi and I, and the village chief hurriedly walked over.
At this time, a worker was reporting something to Team Liu. By the time we got to them, the man had already finished reporting.
Team Liu looked at us and didn't say anything. Just walked towards the collapsed faΓ§ade with a black face.
We followed!
By the time we came to the courtyard wall, the second uncle was already standing here.
Through the dust floating in the air, I saw that all the bricks inside the collapsed faΓ§ade were hollow. And inside those hollow bricks were the carcasses of cockroaches, rats, and snakes. Because of the long baking, the corpses of these things have long been dried up into dried corpses!
There was nothing in the courtyard wall before, but now when it is exposed to the air, it immediately emits a foul smell! It's almost breathless!
Seeing this scene, Team Liu retreated again and again. While pinching his nose with his hand, he cursed: "Fuck! This village is really wicked! β
As he spoke, he continued to say to the workers: "Don't stop, keep smashing me!" Tear down the rest of the courtyard walls for me! β
Those workers were reluctant, though. However, since you have taken other people's money, you have to listen to other people's words and finish the work for others.
So, one by one they walked up with sledgehammers.
I took this opportunity to walk up to the second uncle and asked him, "Second uncle, why is there so much mess in this wall?" β
The second uncle said lightly: "I don't know!" However, there may be a purpose for doing so. It's about turning this place into a pool of shade! β
"Pool?"
Hearing the second uncle say this, I couldn't help but be surprised!
After reading the Burial Soul Sutra, I naturally understand what this Yin Gathering Pool means. That's what you use to nourish evil! If that's the case, then all the strange things that happen in the village are taken for granted! But who would do such a thing?
According to the village chief's original account, this ancestral hall has a history of at least 100 years. And every grass, tree, brick and tile here is all left over from that time. In other words, the contents of this wall have been left for at least a hundred years! So, what did the person who did this kind of thing think at that time?
Just as I was pondering, I suddenly heard an exclamation.
I quickly came back to my senses and followed the sound of the voice. But I only saw a group of people gathered there.
I hurriedly squeezed over, and in the crowd, the second uncle, Qiao Fatzi, the village chief, and Team Liu were all standing here. In front of them, on a section of the courtyard wall that did not collapse, I saw an arm exposed to the air.
This...... It's a human arm!
The skin on this arm is shriveled and thin! The whole arm is blue-gray! However, the nails are incredibly long! And the color of the nails is that kind of miserable white. The first impression is not like a nail or a nail on the surface, but rather like the white bones in the body, piercing through the skin and exposing it to our eyes.
I was also amazed to see this scene!
Unexpectedly, there was a person's body hidden in the courtyard wall.
At this time, Team Liu on the side was obviously a little scared! After all, no matter how atheist you are, you can still feel scared when you see so many unbelievable things!
However, Team Liu completely belongs to the kind of person who doesn't cry when he doesn't see the coffin! No matter how frightened he was, he shouted to the workers, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and dig this man out for me! β
However, the workers were already frightened by the scene before them! Where do you dare to take half a step forward?
Seeing this situation, Team Liu was also angry! He snatched a hammer from a worker's hand. Then, he walked over and smashed it against the courtyard wall.
I only heard the sound of "poof", and after this hammer went down, there was no dust like before. Instead, the place where he was beaten was dented. There are also cracks on the wall!
Team Liu couldn't help but feel a little strange, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand and buckle all the broken bricks.
As the broken bricks were snapped down, we saw a shriveled and distorted face appear in front of us.
At this point, the forehead of this face has been completely sunken! It should have been smashed by Team Liu's hammer!
Team Liu never dreamed that it would be such a scene! I couldn't help but be frightened, "Mom", dropped the hammer, and sat on the ground.
One by one, we looked at each other. Especially the villagers in the village were even more dumbfounded! They have always lived here, and they have passed by it countless times or hid here to cool off. However, they never imagined that when they sat down under the wall to rest, there would be a corpse standing quietly beside them!
(thank you for your support!) There will be a shift at 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock tonight! If you have a lot of collections, it will explode! )
