Chapter 22: Strange Tales Under the Lamp

The old man of the cattle herd lit the withered yellow oil lamp, made a trembling gesture of invitation, and said, "You two can still walk back from that graveyard at night, you are really capable!" Please sit down, I will pour you tea, you must be tired! Speaking of the Loess Slope area, no one really dares to go! Many people in our village have encountered ghosts in the vicinity, and of course these ghosts are not just the daughters of the Leng family......"

Seeing the old man going to pour tea, I hurriedly stopped the old man and said anxiously: "Old man, when my master was opening the coffin just now, he was hit by the evil qi inside, can you find a quiet room for my master, so that my master can meditate and breathe for a while?" I'm here to plead on you! The old man hurriedly put down the water bottle, turned his head to look at the master's right hand, and without saying a word, walked quickly to the door of the West House and opened the door.

"This room is where my son lives, he does business outside all the year round and rarely comes back to live, so Mr. Yang will come here to recuperate!"

After the old man pushed the door open, I immediately helped the master to go inside, and when I came to the bed, the old man first made the bed and supported the master on the bed with me. After the master sat down, without waiting for the master to thank him with his fists, the old man immediately waved his hand, sighed lightly, and said: "Mr. Yang, don't be polite, I'm just an old man in the countryside, there are not so many rules, you just need to recuperate, even if you live for ten days or eight days, there is no big problem!" ”

It is rare to meet such a generous old man, I am really grateful for a while, fortunately I met him, otherwise I would really have to support the master to go back to Mr. Cai's house in Shajing Village.

Master smiled and nodded, extremely weak, making Master's face very ugly, he slowly closed his eyes, then pinched out the Tai Chi seal with both hands, and gradually entered meditation and pranayama. Here, the old man, perhaps in order to take better care of the master, motioned for me to accompany him in this room. The old man then anxiously asked me what Master and I had encountered in that cemetery and how it had come to be like this.

I had to tell the old man what I had seen and heard, and after listening to my words, the old man couldn't help but sigh deeply, and then said: "Alas, if you want to say that Leng Yanqiu's daughter Xiaoshuang is also a hard-working child...... Her mother died early, her seriously ill father, pulled her a handful of and urine, never thought about it, didn't wait for the door, first her father was seriously ill and died, and then she passed away inexplicably, you say, such a hard-working family, why didn't there be a good time? ”

"If you want to blame, you have to blame Guo Dahai, the richest man in Shajing Village, he relied on his two stinky money, first regretted his marriage, and then forced Leng Xiaoshuang to death in the flowering season, causing Leng Xiaoshuang to turn into a powerful ghost and entangle their family, he really deserved it!"

I scolded angrily: "Guo Dahai's behavior is clearly for the sake of being rich and unkind!" Now that I think about it, I went to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, why did I go earlier? If he hadn't done so many immoral things, why should he worry about what would happen after that? But scolding and scolding, my master said that the living still have to be saved, and the ghosts still have to be destroyed, there is no way, we who do the Tao cannot act against the sky. This time, the golden pagoda that came to look for Leng Xiaoshuang wanted to take out the ashes from her golden pagoda, which were transformed by her biological bones, so that we could subdue her! ”

After a pause, I turned my head to look at the master and said again, "It's just that when I opened the lid of Leng Xiaoshuang's coffin, there was such a scene. Until now, I don't know if Master has seen Leng Xiaoshuang's Golden Pagoda, and at that time, Master strictly ordered me to re-bury the coffin in the ground in time and seal the soil. Even if we've never been there, what's this? I don't understand, I don't know what the master is thinking, is it because I am afraid of the evil aura inside the coffin? ”

"Ergou, you may not understand, if I guessed correctly, your master didn't see the location of the Leng family's daughter's golden pagoda at all!"

The old man uttered something groundbreaking, leaving me dumbfounded and staring at him intensely. Immediately, the old man lowered his voice slightly, and said: "I heard that the golden pagoda of the daughter of the Leng family is not in the coffin, and the coffin should be empty!" But I really don't know what kind of evil qi you are talking about. There is no golden pagoda of the Leng family's daughter in it, how can it be haunted? ”

"Huh? Leng Xiaoshuang's raw bones are not in the coffin? Where is that? ”

This news made me completely confused, and I couldn't find the feeling of east, west, north and south at all. Shaking my head carefully, I hurriedly asked again: "Uncle, you can make it clearer, why is Leng Xiaoshuang's Golden Pagoda not in that coffin?" ”

"I don't know if you have heard that after burying the body of the daughter of the Leng family, her body inexplicably ran to the entrance of Shajing Village, and our villagers found her body back and reburied it one after another, but in the end it still didn't work." The old man's fingers trembled slightly and he took out the dry tobacco pouch, and then it took a lot of effort to light a pot of tobacco, then he took a hard breath, coughed violently twice, and then paused, turned his head and continued: "At that time, everyone knew that the daughter of the Leng family was no longer good after her death, but in order to let the girl enter the ground, the villagers also tried their best, and our village chief secretly found a few people to burn the body of the daughter of the Leng family. ”

After another pause, the old man continued: "The next day, the tomb of the daughter of the Leng family was repaired, how to bury the golden pagoda containing the ashes, few people know, but there are some rumors that the coffin is empty, as for the golden pagoda, it should be sent to the land temple for suppression." I don't know the specifics. With that, the old man let out a long sullen breath, and then continued to smoke the dry tobacco pouch.

So if the rumors are true, the inside of the coffin is empty, but why is my master still bumped into by an extremely evil aura when he opens the coffin?

"Do you have to find your village chief to solve this puzzle?"

I frowned, staring at the old man without blinking.

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, and then said with a wry smile: "Don't say goodbye, I heard that the village chief has been bedridden in the past two days, and several people who participated in the burning of the body of the Leng family's daughter at that time also suffered from an unclear illness, and now no one dares to mention the matter of the Leng family's daughter, if you want to ask them to find out who is ugly, I think it's unlikely!" Unless you catch the ghost of the Leng girl's daughter first, at least this will reassure them, otherwise nothing will be said. ”

I nodded slightly and said, "That's right, at this time, the people in your village will naturally have to hide if they can." No one wants to be contaminated with these evil things, not to mention that those who buried Leng Xiaoshuang's body are all bedridden, it seems that most of their illnesses are also caused by touching the corpse, this is troublesome, if you can't find Leng Xiaoshuang's bones, how can you kill her? If she is not killed, I am afraid that she will turn around and harm the Guo family! ”

On the surface, I said this to the old man, but in my heart, I kept muttering, just a terrible ghost, how can there be so much energy? Anyone who provokes her, more or less, will suffer, and even if I join forces with that Liao Gujin, I can't catch her, what kind of ghost is this?

"You're right, the root of everything is because of that ghost, and this ghost is not an ordinary ghost......"

Master's voice suddenly sounded, but before he finished speaking, he saw Master stretch out his left hand, instantly pinched out the finger of the sword, first pressed the wrist of his right hand, and then swiped down hard...... Little by little, where the sword finger passed, on the palm below the wrist, the black qi gradually forced back to the fingertips, and after a while, when the master's simple force reached the palm of the hand, the yin and evil qi gathered below had already turned into a trace of black blood, dripping out from the master's nails.

Three times in a row, and finally the bright red blood flowed out, the master withdrew his hand weakly, at this moment, the master exhaled a deep breath, slowly hugged his fist to the old man, and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the old man!" With that, Master was about to get out of bed, and the old man and I hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

The old man sighed lightly: "Mr. Yang, we met once in the morning, and now we have a two-sided relationship, and we are no longer strangers." Then I won't say anything else polite, you see that you just forced the yin poison out, and your body is still very weak, how can you get out of bed? Let's continue to recuperate in bed, and we'll talk about it tomorrow at dawn! When I heard the old man's words, I nodded in agreement, Master really needs to cultivate well at this time.

It stands to reason that the evil aura can't hurt the master at all, but it's just too unexpected, the master can make it like this, if it were me, I'm afraid I would fall into it immediately. It can be a serious illness at the worst, and at worst it will be death. Hearing this, Master shook his head with a wry smile, and with my support, slowly moved to the edge of the bed and sat down, and then said, "I heard what you just said, old man, you are right, the coffin is indeed empty!" ”

"Huh?"

Now it wasn't just me, even the old man screamed in surprise. The old man paused, and hurriedly said: "I didn't expect the rumors to be true, the ashes altar of the daughter of the Leng family is really not buried in that coffin." So, where would that be? It's incredible! It's incredible......" said, the old man kept shaking his head and sighing, in fact, I was also confused, if the coffin was empty, why could there be such a doorway in the coffin? I don't think the village chief here alone can have such great ability, so I don't understand.

At this moment, the old man and I are both staring directly at Master, hoping that Master can solve our doubts.
