Chapter 70: Cheng's Compound
"Cheng's compound is located on the outskirts of the city is a building in the Republic of China, at that time due to turmoil, this property changed hands several times, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this property was bought back by Cheng's descendants, and later due to the Cheng family's scattered branches and work needs and the geographical location of Cheng's compound, so this ancient building with excellent environment in the suburbs was regarded as a pension, basically some of the old people of the Cheng family lived.
But the ancestral hall of the Cheng family is here, and the old people basically live here, so it is still very lively here during the New Year's holidays!
It's been okay all along, but something happened not long ago, the old patriarch of the Cheng family passed away, and the old patriarch was old, so they all thought that the old patriarch died normally, but the next day another old man died, although they were all old, but it was quite scary to die one after another.
In addition, it has recently been released in conjunction with the Mid-Autumn Festival on National Day, so most of the Cheng clan people have returned, and there are many children, the key is that there are rumors that some children saw the Cheng clan patriarch sitting on the ancestral hall and sitting with the ancestral spiritual seat.
Although Tong Yan is unscrupulous, the people of the Cheng family still plan to find someone to take a look, do things, and see what the old lady's wishes are not fulfilled, and people who die in the family always have to do things after all. ”
After hearing this, Hu Qi rubbed his head and said, "This is what you are looking for." Isn't it normal to die when you're old? What are we doing, Taoist? The kind that subdues demons and destroys demons. Isn't it a gentleman who comes to recite scriptures with dead people?"
Li Yumu said helplessly: "But the remuneration given by others is high! As long as things are done well, it is 10,000 yuan." It's a bit of a difficult task. ”
"Ten thousand!" Hu Qi said in surprise
At this time, it is not an ordinary family to be able to take out 10,000 Dharma events just to seek peace of mind!
Although it is no longer the era of 10,000 households, it is 10,000 yuan for just one legal event, so you can imagine how big the family business is.
Li Shumu said: "They are a family business, and I heard that the scale is not small. ”
"Oh!" replied thoughtfully.
"It's a rich man, why don't you find a lonely ghost to scare him, so that you can get more money?" ”
But Hu Qi just thought about it, how could a decent Taoist person do such a thing.
At this time, Hu Qi and the others had come to the outskirts of the city, and the houses were no longer as compact and tall as in the urban area, and had gradually become sparse and mediocre.
"Uncle, how far is the Cheng family's compound?" asked Li Shumu to an uncle who passed leisurely.
The old man looked Hu Qi up and down, and said to Li Yumu: "Who are you, what are you doing?"
Li Yumu replied with a smile: "Uncle, we are the gentlemen invited by the Cheng family to do the funeral." ”
The old man took a look, and it was estimated that they were definitely too young!
Hu Qi naturally took out the compass from his arms, and showed the robe in the bag to the old man.
The old man suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are gentlemen, but I am afraid that you will not be able to do it! Today, the Cheng family compound is already the third person who has died." In addition to the old lady and great-uncle of the Cheng family, an old man died two days later, that is, today, the Cheng family felt that something was wrong and reported the case, the police have not left, and those little cubs of the Cheng family all said that they had seen the old lady, and the evil family was very evil.
Now the people in the area are bypassing the Cheng family's compound, you still call your master, you young children are not good enough, don't plant yourself in. ”
Li Xumu smiled slightly and handed a cigarette to the old man, and lit it for the old man by the way.
"Uncle, can you tell us about the Cheng family in detail? Actually, we are here to call the master to find out the situation, and the master will arrive later. ”
The old man said, "So that's what happened!" So the old man took Hu Qi and Li Shumu to the side of the road, squatted on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, smoked, and listened to the old man.
"In fact, we know the matter, it's not a lot of black, four days ago, the old lady of the Cheng family, that is, the patriarch of the Cheng family, died, the old lady of the Cheng family was about a hundred years old, so I didn't think much about it at the time, I thought that the old lady of the Cheng family was dying, but when there was a little baby guarding the spirit at night, some little babies said that they saw the old lady, but those adults didn't need to pay attention at that time.
It is said that the little baby's eyes have not been polluted by the world, so he can see some things, and at that time he thought that the old man wanted to see these little babies.
Unexpectedly, the great-uncle of the Cheng family also died in the room the next day, and some people felt a little abnormal, but this great-uncle of the Cheng family was also about ninety years old, and he also invited a doctor to come and see at that time, and they all said that it was a normal death, and it belonged to the kind of death, so there was no need to think about it, thinking that the old lady died.
Because it's the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival, so many people in the Cheng family have come back, and at night, there are a large number of little babies guarding the spirits, and most of the adults are going to play mahjong.
As a result, many little babies said that they saw the old lady sitting on the ancestral spiritual seat of the ancestral hall, and these little babies also said that the old lady was sitting on it motionless and still with a straight face.
At this time, the adults of the Cheng family couldn't sit still, thinking about whether the old lady had something that had not been done, or what else they had in mind, and they also asked if they saw that the great-uncle had not, but fortunately there was only the old lady, so they thought it was because the old lady had something to wish.
So I wanted to invite Mr. to come and see Ha, I heard that there were a lot of gentlemen, and several of them were also masters, but these masters didn't seem to be good enough, so it was two days apart. As a result, a great-uncle went today, and the Cheng family was a little panicked now, and the police came today. I guess I'll leave now!
So, young man, please come to your masters, those masters will not do, you two young men should not go and join in the fun. "Don't worry, uncle, our master will be here tomorrow. But I heard that the Cheng family has a lot of money?"
The old man took a sharp breath and said, "This Cheng family is wealthy, I heard that the company has gone to other places, and Mr. Please said before that he would give 10,000 to solve the matter, but these masters did not get this 10,000, and today this happened, and several masters are afraid that they will not be able to get this 10,000." I heard that a master gave a few hundred yuan for the fare, which is quite a lot. And today, the Cheng family raised the money to 30,000. It is said that as long as this matter is solved, 30,000 yuan is only a lot more.
I heard that this will invite a few more masters. ”
After listening to this, Hu Qi tasted it carefully, and said, "It seems that things are really not simple!"
After the cigarette was finished, Hu Qi and Li Xiaomu greeted the old man and then went in the direction pointed by the old man.
After walking away, Li Yumu said: "This old man knows a lot! ”
Hu Qi looked at the Cheng family's compound, which was already white, and said, "Actually, people like the old man would rather believe what they have than what they don't, rather than believe it, it is better to believe it, plus all kinds of rumors." You have to say they know what they really don't know, but you have to say they don't know, they still know something. ”
