Chapter 36: Backing Stones

Because of the rumors of evil ghosts, Zhangjia Village has formed a unique custom from May 1 to May 5 in recent years.

Closed villages.

Every household sticks a new door god and lights candles.

Under the leadership of the villagers surnamed Zhang, who account for the majority, every day after the evil ghost bell disappears, they will gather in the village at 11 o'clock to concentrate on the Zhang family's ancestral plaque and burn paper to ensure safety.

Of course, in an atmosphere of fear, try to be as quiet as possible throughout the event.

In the village where no one can be seen during the day, after eleven o'clock, the figures are longing, but they are silent to each other, which is particularly strange. This situation, after being seen by those who went to Zhangjiacun for an adventure, mistakenly thought it was some kind of evil sacrifice, so they added fuel and vinegar to the Internet, which also became an important proof that Zhangjiacun is a ghost village.

The upper sacrifice is dominated by the people of the Zhang family, and the non-Zhang surname is ranked last.

In the center of the barn was placed a large pig iron incense burner, in which paper money burned, rising high flames, shining on the expressionless villagers of Zhangjia Village who gathered around.

There is a merit box in front of the large cast iron incense burner, and another important part of the sacrifice is to donate money.

Shen Jiangtao followed behind the three members of the Yu family, and just walked to the merit box, a villager who was guarding there unceremoniously snatched a stack of money that Yu Xu's father was about to stuff into the merit box, and took out four or five pieces before stuffing them in, and scolded and said: "Bring more money tomorrow, it's not religious at all." Those of you who eat and drink in Zhangjia Village with the surname Zhang should really be taken away by evil ghosts! ”

Yu Xu's parents reluctantly stepped aside.

After the sacrifice, a fat middle-aged man with a big belly stood in the middle and whispered: "Tomorrow is the fourth day of May, and evil spirits will still haunt the village, everyone must be careful, don't go out, and make less noise; I hope everyone can get through it smoothly, and I very much don't want someone in our village to have another accident on May 5th. ”

Yu Xu leaned into Shen Jiangtao's ear and said, "This is our village chief Zhang Erfu. ”

Then the village chief said a lot of advice, and the others encouraged everyone to donate more money to the festival.

Shen Jiangtao took a look at the surrounding situation, the grain drying field in Zhangjia Village is a rectangle, surrounded by a low wall, and the three directions of east, west and south are opened to enter and exit, but the wall in the north is blocked, and there are several stone grinding discs thrown under the wall.

"Follow me." Shen Jiangtao took Yu Xu over, erected a stone grinding disc under the low wall in the north, and stuck it with a stone; Then they went to a position in the east, west, and south directions, and rolled a stone grinding disc to stand up.

During the whole process, the villagers listened attentively to the village's speech, and no one noticed the two of them.

Shen Jiangtao stretched out the thumb and little finger of his right hand, and the other fingers were clenched at a right angle, facing the stone grinding disc in four directions, and determined a central position, Shen Jiangtao picked up four small stones and placed a cross in that central position.

"The village committee has contacted the well-known Crystal View Wang, and will do a Dharma meeting for us in Zhangjia Village in the future." Zhang Erfu, the village head, looked at the villagers: "Everyone should actively donate money and do a festival, maybe the evil ghosts will not appear again next year; Everyone is safe and sound, everything is going well, and it is better to spend money to eliminate disasters than to suffer disasters. ”

The villagers whispered yes and dispersed.

After returning to Yu's house, after Yu Xu's parents fell asleep, Shen Jiangtao called Yu Xu, Miao Li, and Zhang Min into the house, did not turn on the lights, opened the window, and said to the three of them in the moonlight: "Tomorrow, Yu Xu will find out the person who pretends to be a ghost, and we will assist him." ”

Miao Li and Zhang Min looked at Yu Xu in surprise: "Can you really catch that person?" ”

Yu Xu was actually not sure, but the matter had come to this, and he couldn't shirk it, not to mention that this was originally a matter of their village, he glanced at Shen Jiangtao, and said firmly: "Since I am sure that that is not an evil ghost, I will definitely do my best to catch him." ”

"You don't have to worry too much, I'll set it up later, just in case." Shen Jiangtao said as he looked at the time, and then quietly took the three of them out of the door.

When they arrived at the river beach at the edge of the village, they found a quadrangular stone, and the four of them worked together to move it back.

Shen Jiangtao looked at the direction with the compass, stared at the time, and when there was still one minute before the positive time, that is, at 00:00, Shen Jiangtao asked the three of them to carry the stone with him and put it in a corner in the southeast direction.

Miao Li couldn't help but ask Shen Jiangtao: "What's the use of this stone?" ”

Shen Jiangtao muttered: "The backing stone is used to prevent any accidents from happening tomorrow." ”

At the same time, at the Guodi River Scenic Area Resort, Zhang Pengyuan entered a room in the resort hotel after all his classmates had slept, and several people in it were drinking, playing cards and chatting, and it was those in the other two cars brought by Zhang Pengyuan.

"Hello Uncle Wang, hello Uncle Zhao!" Zhang Pengyuan politely greeted the two people.

The two people who were on the rise turned their heads, pulled Zhang Peng over, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately: "Big nephew, you're welcome, you said that the person we want to arrest tomorrow is the kid named Shen Jiangtao today, right?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Pengyuan nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "I really shouldn't trouble the two uncles for a little thing about me." ”

One of the bespectacled men asked cautiously: "Today I saw that kid has a luxury car to give him, are you sure he has no special background?" ”

Zhang Pengyuan said affirmatively: "I have checked carefully, Shen Jiangtao has no special background, and he is from a village on the side of Triangle Town. ”

Another man in his thirties with a mustache said: "We will do things according to the law, and you will call tomorrow to report that there are people in the village who are engaged in feudal superstitious activities, and we will go and take them back to the office and lock them up for one night, and we can't be too embarrassed for this classmate." However, this kind of thing is not an example. ”

"Okay!" Zhang Pengyuan looked at the mustache with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Wang, you have worked hard!" ”

After walking out of the room, Zhang Pengyuan smiled gloomily: Hmph, Shen Jiangtao, Shen Jiangtao, didn't you just say anything about the feng shui bureau when you opened your mouth and closed your mouth, this time you really let you enter the bureau.

Let Shen Jiangtao and others stay in Zhangjia Village for five days to win, and they will be arrested before the next day.

Hehe, I would never do something that I am not sure of.

After setting up a verification of feng shui with Shen Jiangtao, Zhang Pengyuan made a plan to choose Zhangjia Village, one of the top ten terrifying places that were spread by the wind, and then agreed to wait for five days to win.

After Shen Jiangtao and his entourage entered the village, Zhang Pengyuan asked people to report that there were feudal superstitious activities in Zhangjia Village the next day, and directly asked the police station personnel related to his family to take Shen Jiangtao away.

First, Shen Jiangtao didn't stay for five days and lost; Second, he warned other students that feng shui is a feudal superstition, and they will be arrested if they encounter it.

Zhang Pengyuan was secretly refreshed in his heart: Fight with me, Shen Jiangtao, what the hell, don't splash some red, yellow and blue on you, I really forgot that I specialize in art pigments!
