156: Strange Thing in the Village
"To what?" As the head of the family, Old Man Yu naturally had to ask.
Okra explained: "We're a little hungry, I'm going to get some food. “
Old man Yu hurriedly got up and said, "Let grandpa go, you just came back, you rushed to the night road, sit down and rest!" “
Okra glanced at Jiang Wuzhong, thinking of the self he had just deliberately explained, so he excused himself and said, "I'd better go!" Grandpa, you're sitting here! “
She went into her grandfather's kitchen, lit the lamp, and rummaged through it, and there were fresh vegetables and radishes in the vegetable basket, and a few eggs laid by hens in the yard in the cabinet, so she would cook a few bowls of noodles.
In the hall, Old Man Yu took out the persimmons that he was reluctant to eat on weekdays to honor Jiang Wuzhong.
"This persimmon has been sitting for half a month, and it is just ripe, can you taste it?"
Jiang Wuzhong is an immortal, and he has been worshiped by the world over the years, so he is not surprised by this kind of believer, and it is also after his soul returns, except that he was like a living person when he first woke up, and then he was a whole ice mound, and he couldn't cover it, and he should be as cold as ever for the courtesy of the old man Shangyu at this time. But when he looked at the hands that were all around him holding a persimmon and stretched it out, he seemed to notice something strange, his eyes fell on the persimmon, and he did not take it, nor did he refuse.
Old man Yu thought that he hated the persimmons he had taken, so he quickly wiped them on his clothes and said, "It's not dirty, you can eat it if you peel it!" “
Duan Cainan hurriedly took it, helped Jiang Wuzhong peel it carefully, and handed it to him.
He took a bite, frowned, and put it back on his plate, not satisfied.
"Tasteless!"
Old man Yu was surprised. "How can it be tasteless, this season's persimmons are so sweet!"
As he spoke, he picked up the persimmon that Jiang Wuzhong had bitten into and tasted it, closed his eyes with enjoyment, and praised: "This persimmon is so sweet!" “
Jiang Wuzhong's eyes swept lightly, this happiness that belongs to the world can be achieved with a tasteless persimmon? It was unbelievable to him.
The most annoying thing is that he can't taste anything, just like a person who spends his days drinking boiled water for thirty or sixty-five days a year.
It didn't take long for okra to come in with boiled noodles. First brought a bowl to him, then gave it to his grandfather, and then went back to the kitchen to serve Duan Cainan and the bearded bowl.
The four of them sat around the square table, and after the grandfather finished eating the persimmons, he took the okra boiled noodles to the outside of the hall, and sat on the stone pier under the eaves, looking at the faint sky.
For several years, he loved to sit in this position to eat, because he could see the courtyard at a glance, and if someone came, he could see it at a glance.
He ate this bowl of noodles this morning very fragrant and happy, he never thought that in his lifetime, he could still eat a bowl of noodles cooked by his granddaughter, he sighed in the direction of the courtyard: "Feng Banxian'er, our granddaughter is finally back??"
Okra didn't eat noodles, and wanted to come out to see her grandfather, hearing this, her heart was sour, she could imagine why her grandmother wanted to find her grandfather to help her complete the river sacrifice ceremony; Because in this world, no one will trust grandma, only her own grandfather will implement such a ridiculous and bold plan in order to find a way for her to live.
She also walked over, sat on the bluestone pier next to her, and looked at the sky with her face, on that side, the early sun was trying to break through the darkness, and the glimmer was getting brighter and brighter.
Soon after, the warm red light of the sunrise illuminated the small courtyard, and also shone on the faces of the grandfather and grandson, and she asked, "Grandpa, what kind of person is my mother?" “
"Your mother is a very gentle and kind person, always speaking in a low voice, the people in the village can't help but lower their voices when they see her, even a very fierce mad dog in the village saw your mother that year, they all held their tails, and lowered their eyebrows." Grandpa told her about Feng Yu'an's past, and she listened very carefully, as if those things were happening right in front of her.
"And what kind of person is my father?"
Old man Yu's eyes were gloomy, and after a long while, he said, "Your father, is a person who does not smile, he seems to have many things hidden in his heart forever, and even I can't guess it??"
Jiang Wuzhong was eating okra-boiled noodles in the hall, and when he raised his eyes to look out, he saw the two of them with their backs to the glimmering back, and he asked Duan Cainan beside him: "What is the taste of persimmon?" “
Duan Cainan took a sip of the noodle soup and replied in a shallow voice: "It's sweet!" “
"What does that taste like sweet?"
Duan Cainan thought for a while, and said to the harmonious backs of the grandfather and grandson outside: "It's about the taste of the world feeling happy, right?" “
Jiang Wuzhong put down his chopsticks and retracted his gaze, "The world is only a few decades old, it is fleeting in the blink of an eye, it is mostly sad, so sweet, what is the difference between there and not?" “
Duan Cainan nodded yes, turned his head and saw that the noodles in Jiang Wuzhong's bowl had gone to the big bowl, not only was he a little surprised, but said: "King Guangmu likes meat, the fishy smell of meat does not need to be tasted by tongue, there is only one egg in this green vegetable noodle, but it tastes raw in your mouth?" “
"It's just that this mortal body needs to eat!"
Not long after, Dai Biluo also returned, and entered the hall to talk to Jiang Wuzhong alone for a while, about the whereabouts of the treasure in the village.
When the two came out, Okra hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Has the substitute girl found the source of the evil spirit in this village?" “
Dai Biluo said proudly: "I am holding Taiyi to trace, what can't I find?" “
"Where's that? How to resolve it? “
The other party saw that she was so anxious, knowing that she had just found her own grandfather, and she was nervous about the lives of the people in this village, but she deliberately sold Guan Zi and said: "I found it, but this solution is not easy, hey, I have been busy for most of the night, the sky is bright, and my body is really uncomfortable.
Okra knew that she was trying to take the opportunity to call herself, but it was a big deal to crack the evil spirit in the village, so she hurriedly said, "I'll go and boil water for the girl." The next generation girl hurriedly told me the solution, okay? “
Dai Biluo waved her hand: "Then you can go!" “
Okra was fast, and soon boiled a large bucket of water to carry it over, and the two of them were in the guest room of the Yu family, and the eldest lady reached out to test the temperature of the water, and she was quite satisfied, and she untied her clothes and put them into the bath bucket.
It was the first time that okra was so close to this woman, and it was not only a little ashamed to see that her skin was as white as snow and her figure was good.
Dai Biluo reached out and took the cloth in her hand, and looked satisfied as she enjoyed the hot water.
"Miss Dai, can you tell me now, where does the evil spirit in this village come from?"
Dai Biluo didn't answer her question, but asked her, "Okra, has the fairy lord touched you?" “
"Huh?" Okra was stunned, caught off guard by this sudden question.
"Once upon a time when you shared a bed and slept together, did he ever touch you?"
"What are you asking for?"
Dai Biluo smiled and lay on the bathtub, "What, can't you ask?" But if you don't say it, I know that it won't be. “
Okra lowered her head and helped her clean up the clothes she had taken off.
Dai Biluo said, "It's okay to tell you about the Netherworld, but we have to make an agreement. “
"What agreement?"
"If I serve the immortal lord before you, from now on, you can't have any more feelings for the immortal lord!" The other party looked at her with both eyes and asked her to give a positive answer.
Okra naturally refused, she said: "I have already made a vow, I have sincerely worshiped him, how can I not be half emotional?" “
"Then I don't care!" Dai Biluo turned her head away, flicked the splash in the bucket with her hand, and said with a smile on her face: "I have vowed to serve the immortal lord since I was a child, although you are his soul, but he has no mortal feelings for you??"
"Then he has mortal feelings for you?" Okra's disdainful look, isn't it still when you're a waiter?
Dai Biluo smiled deeply, tilted her head and said with a blush on her face: "The fairy lord trusts me the most, and he lets me go to do everything, and he says that he is most at ease with me." Do you understand what this means? “
"What does it represent?" Okra sullen look.
Dai Biluo leaned over, stretched out her hand and poured water on her and said: "You are so stupid, of course I am the most special and important to the fairy master, and when I help the fairy master find such a treasure, the fairy master said that it will fulfill my wish!" “
Okra didn't want to continue listening to her tell her about this, and asked impatiently, "You better tell me where the evil qi comes from!" “
"Hey--" Dai Biluo leaned in the bathtub, dying, "Such a powerful Yin and Evil Qi must come with a formation, otherwise, this Hexian Village is so big, and the northwest is near the river, it is difficult to gather the evil qi, so there must be a Yin Evil Formation somewhere near Hexian Village, and the people who set up the formation will introduce the Yin and Evil Qi into Hexian Village, but I have limited time just now, and I haven't seen where the Array is for the time being." “
Shocks? Okra naturally knew that Yue Muyun, a soul hooker, was very good at setting up those evil and harmful formations, so he didn't have to think that he did it!
She was still wondering why Feng Yunyan didn't see the soul hooker when she was resurrected, it turned out that this guy ran to Hexian Village to set up a formation!
Dai Biluo mentioned at this time: "The people who died in the village have seen it, and it is not caused by the trouble!" “
"Isn't it?"
"Hmm. The corpse was dead and decomposing, somewhat like it had been under some kind of spell, which I wasn't very familiar with. But it's definitely not caused by a braw! “
"Why are you so sure it's not caused by the Shower?" Okra didn't doubt Dai Biluo's statement, but just wanted to understand the situation in the village more accurately, so as to prescribe the right medicine.
"Of course I'm sure, because the yin death qi caused by that burst of evil is not too strong, so it won't make people die immediately!"
Okra immediately understood that if the yin and death qi were enough to make the people in the village die, there would be more than a few people who died now, and it was likely that many people would go at once.
And even if the yin and death qi hurt people, she should kill those weak people in the village first, but she heard her grandfather say that the people who died were the few aunts who took her to the river sacrifice in the first place, and she had seen those aunts, all of them were strong women in their forties, and their bodies were capable of racing one by one.
"It seems that my grandfather guessed correctly, someone in the village is using spells to harm people!" With that, she immediately walked to the door, opened the door and went out.
It was already dawn, and Old Man Yu came to her to ask about the feng shui in the village, and she told him about the speculation she had just had with Dai Biluo, and then asked: "Grandpa, you said that you have been checking in the village for a few days, you are most familiar with these villagers in the village, are there any suspicious people?" “
There are more than 500 people in the village, if this person is very calm, even if he does not show his feet, it is also a hidden danger to stay in the village, and Yin Si only gave her five days to find the book from the ground, she can't afford to delay, so she wants to find out this harmful person as soon as possible.
Old man Yu thought for a while and said: "I do suspect a person, that is, Yu Niuniu, his house is opposite the third aunt's house, after the third aunt and several other aunts died, I found a kind of hay in their house, the grass is called checkmate grass, only on the east mountain, Yu Niuniu ran to the east mountain all day long, I don't know what he went up the mountain for, every time he went up in the morning, it was almost dark before he came back." “
Okra asked suspiciously: "But grandpa, there are so many people in this village, and there are more than enough people who have been to Dongshan, right?" “
"He's really the only one!" Old man Yu lowered his voice and asked her, "Girl, do you know what is on the east mountain?" “
She looked at the old man so mysterious, and with a flash of inspiration, she asked, "Tomb Mountain?" “
"The girl is really smart, the east mountain is full of graves, there are hundreds, the ancestors of our Hexian Village have been buried on it, there are more graves than trees, who in the village is full and has nothing to do to run to the grave mountain? You say this is not suspicious? “
Okra nodded, "Suspicious!" Then let's go to him first, as long as it's him, I'll be able to ask!" “
"My girl is really capable!" Grandpa smiled and frowned.
Okra is also very happy in her heart, she thought that she would become stronger so that she could share it for her grandmother, but her grandmother is gone, she has regrets, and now she can use it all on the old man!
She called the bearded man and planned to go to Yu Niuniu's house first, if it was really Yu Niuniu, she should be able to find out the truth soon.
When the three of them walked through the courtyard, Jiang Wuzhong came out of the house and stopped her: "Okra." “
"Huh?" She turned back.
I thought that the fairy master had something to explain, but after he took Duan Cainan to the closer place, he said, "Let's go!" “
Old man Yu was overjoyed, "Together with us, the fairy master will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." “
Jiang Wuzhong walked to the front, and Okra cautiously followed him, looking for an opportunity to ask: "From the perspective of King Guangmu, is it this Yu Niu Niu who harms people in this village?" “
"Yes and no, it shouldn't be hard for you!" The fairy master said this to nudge her, and she shouldn't want him to tell her everything.
She thought about it, anyway, she would see this Yu Niu Niu in a while, yes or no, she could find out.
But she didn't understand, and even a little displeased, and said, "Then the king of Guangmu doesn't plan to help, so why bother to run along." “
It made her happy in vain!
Jiang Wuzhong ignored her anymore and walked by himself.
Yu Niuniu's house is opposite the third aunt's house, and it didn't take a few steps from Grandpa Okra's house to arrive, a small courtyard, a mud-walled grass house.
Old man Yu told them on the way that Yu Niuniu was a distant relative of their Yu family, and okra had to call him Brother Sheng. However, Yu Niuniu is thirty-five years old, he has not married a wife, his parents died early, there is no one else in the family, and he also goes out like a villager in the village, and the whole village goes out before dawn, and when it gets dark, he comes back from fishing, and takes the fish to the nearest town and sells it for some daily necessities, salt, cloth, and grain.
But Yu Niuniu is different, he goes out of the boat at night every time, floats on the river for a night, fishes at night, the black light is blind, but he returns with a full load every time, and there are people in the village who learn from him, and go out of the boat at night with him, and also catch some fish, which can not be compared with Yu Niuniu, and over time, this guy has become the most capable fisherman recognized by the whole village.
But just a month ago, when the village began to die one after another, Yu Niuniu didn't go out to fish, and ran on the grave hill in the east of Wang all day, and Old Man Yu suspected him.
They stood at the door and knocked on the door, but no one inside opened the door.
Old man Yu said: "It's dawn, this Yu Niu should go up to Dongshan again, let's go, let's go arrest him!" “
The old man was about to lead them to the east, but Okra felt that nothing was right, and she said, "This door is closed from the inside!" “
Only then did Old Man Yu react to this reminder, "Yes! This door bolt fell from the inside, Yu Niuniu should be inside, right, I remember very clearly, when you entered the village in the early morning, he was also outside the spirit shed, it was he and a few juniors in the village who came to my house to call me, saying that you are back! “
It was also after that that that Yu Niuniu returned home and bolted from inside.
"Why don't you open the door?" Old man Yu was suspicious. He walked to the door again and knocked on the door vigorously and said, "Ah Niu, open the door!" Don't hide, I know you're inside, open the door for me! “
Still no one came to open the door, and the courtyard was silent.
"Let me come!" The bearded man came over at this time, but fortunately he kicked it up, and the wooden door of the courtyard flew directly!
Seeing that Old Man Yu was shocked, he was stunned for a moment before he praised: "Shaoxia has good leg strength, this is practiced, right?" “
"What am I? My grandfather's leg attack is amazing! "The bearded man really misses his grandfather, because he can't see Wei Linyuan, he hasn't been scolded for a few days, and he hasn't been scolded by his grandfather. It's empty.
Old man Yu saw that he was coming back with okra, and all of them were very capable, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Young heroes are so powerful, your grandfather is still a fairy?" “
"Is that not it?" The bearded man said proudly: "But our master is different from the fairy master behind, our master is an immortal in the world, and that one is in the sky." “
"That's so capable!" Old man Yu praised vigorously, and his heart blossomed, his granddaughter has these capable people to help, who can hurt her!
As they spoke, a wind blew in the courtyard, and Jiang Wuzhong covered his nose with a silk silk in disgust.
Old man Yu asked, "What does it smell, so stinky?" “
"It's rotten. If it's meat, it's been around for at least a month! The bearded man scolded.
The okra heart is not good, it may be late!
She smelled a lot of stench, although it was not good, but she did not show much of a strangeness, and hurried through the courtyard, pushing open the door of the grass hut in the courtyard, the stench was even stronger, and this time she could not help frowning.
The bearded man followed up and asked, "Who is dead?" “
In the room lay a male corpse, his clothes still intact, but the corpse was highly decomposed!
Okra hadn't seen Yu Niuniu, but guessed: "This person should be Yu Niuniu!" “
After the old man Yu walked in and looked at it, he didn't dare to confirm it, he said: "This face is rotten like this, I can't see the appearance, but Yu Niuniu is fine in the morning, this corpse is wearing a blue-black cotton coat Many strong men in our village have one, and the six women in the village made it, but Yu Niuniu is indeed wearing such a blue and black cloth this morning, I remember, his cuffs are worn out, there is a patch, he made up it himself, he has no women in his family, and his needlework is not good, and it is a mess." “
In order to confirm clearly, okra took two steps over, squatted down and took the corner of the corpse's sleeve with her hand to take a look, it was indeed quickly patched crookedly, it seems that she guessed well, this person is indeed Yu Niuniu!
"Is it really Yu Niuniu?" The bearded man asked suspiciously: "Why did the people who were fine not long ago work hard like this?" “
Okra heard from Dai Biluo that the harm may be using spells to harm people, and it was suspected that Yu Niuniu was the murderer who used spells, but now it can be confirmed that it is not Yu Niuniu!
"If it's not Yu Niuniu, who will it be?" Old Man Yu became more and more confused. He was already very sure that Yu Niuniu was the murderer, but now, he had no clue at all.
"Grandpa, don't worry, since the murderer can kill so many people in a row, and he has practiced the spell technique very well, such a person will not show such an obvious handle!"
In fact, she had thought about it when she came, a person who is good at using spells to harm people, must have a sinister and cunning temperament, and it is definitely not something that can easily let grandpa find out the clues, Yu Niuniu's behavior before the incident is indeed weird, but it does not mean that he is the murderer. It is likely that someone related to the murderer.
Old man Yu said ashamedly: "Yes, I am an old man who fishes, if this murderer who killed five people in a row can be found out, he will not be able to harm these five people!" “
"But grandpa, you're right this morning, this person sees me coming back, and he has a cold relationship with you, he will definitely be weak and show flaws, you see, isn't this revealing flaws?" She pointed to Yu Niuniu's corpse and said: "This corpse is much more decomposed than the third aunt's, which shows that the person who cast the curse is more urgent and poisonous this time than the previous curse, he is likely to attack Yu Niuniu under a very nervous and urgent mind, if this person is in the village, most of the people in the entire village have gone to the third aunt's mourning hall this morning, when we dismiss the villagers, most of them will pass by Yu Niuniu's house, and when the murderer leaves, he may have been seen!" “
After saying this, she subconsciously looked at Jiang Wuzhong, and saw that he was still covering his nose with a silk handkerchief, and he had nothing to say, thinking that she had got to the point!
She immediately took out a paper talisman from the small bag she was carrying, lit it and threw it in the courtyard, reciting the incantation silently.
When several people saw her chanting the mantra, they didn't dare to disturb, and when she finished chanting, they all waited for something magical to happen, but after waiting for a long time, there was no wind and grass in the yard.
The bearded man hurriedly came up and asked, "Little okra, what are you doing with this paper talisman?" “
"The soul charm is used to help the newly dead show the soul of the dead, if Yu Niu's soul is still in this courtyard, the burning charm will come."
The blue and white day, and the beard could not be seen, and Hikari asked, "Is that coming?" “
Okra shook her head, "It seems that the person who cast the curse will still lock the soul!" “
Duan Cainan, who has always talked little, was also interested at this time, and helped the bearded man to mention a sentence and said: "Generally, the newly dead souls are not easy to lock, because they are still stained with the living popularity when they are alive, and usually the Taoist methods of dealing with yin spirits are not good to deal with them, so the newly dead souls can walk in broad daylight, no different from the living, most of the time the dead don't even know that they are dead!" “
"Then since the usual method of dealing with yin spirits doesn't work, why is this remnant of Niu Niu's soul gone?" The more the bearded man thought about it, the more he felt that this person was more powerful than he imagined, and he could take away the soul under the nose of okra.
Okra told him, "Use the liar! Because the newly dead soul doesn't know that he is dead, he can trick his soul away! “
Duan Cainan on the side echoed: "When Cainan cultivated the Phantom Qin, I did hear that some people in the door specialize in coaxing and taking away the living soul, but most of the ones that can work must meet one condition, that is, they met the living soul before their death!" “
While they were talking in the courtyard, Old Man Yu's nephew Yu San ran over and shouted, "Uncle, it's not good! Oh no! Something happened! “
