Chapter 35: Refuting Rumors

After the bones were moved and buried, incense and candles were lit and paper money was burned.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

"The 'flowing water sucking life' bureau has been broken." Shen Jiangtao looked at the grave covered by the straw mat, he did not destroy the bones of the corpse with stiff flesh in the legal burial, which would startle the snake; Now, with Shen Jiangtao's ability, he can only temporarily break the feng shui bureau first, and to completely get Zhangjiacun out of bad luck, he can only deal with it after finding out all the circumstances.

The two packed up their things and were about to leave, when they heard the bell ringing in the distance, Shen Jiangtao groaned slightly, immediately shoveled some soil with a shovel, covered the lit incense, candles, paper money, and then pulled Yu Xu to touch the place where the bell came from.

Yu Xu's whole person was in a semi-paralyzed state, and he couldn't stop trembling.

"Don't be afraid, this bell is artificial." Shen Jiangtao leaned over to Yu Xu's ear to comfort him, but it had no effect, and Yu Xu couldn't stop shaking like chaff.

Turning the corner of an alley, Shen Jiangtao saw the black shadow reappear, drifting in the direction of the cemetery for a while, and then drifting back.

Looking at such a black shadow floating in the air, Yu Xu couldn't help but scream "ah" in shock, and Shen Jiangtao hurriedly covered: "Don't scream, that's a person, don't be afraid!" ”

Clang...

Clang... Clang...

At that moment, the shadow seemed to hear a sound, and the bell sounded towards the two of them.

"It's broken! It's coming! ”

Shen Jiangtao hurriedly took Yu Xu to a gatehouse in the alley, at this time the moonlight was very bright, and the gatehouse in the countryside was not wide, the two of them were hiding there, as long as the dark shadow was close, they would definitely be able to find them.

The two held their breath, hugged each other tightly, and tried their best to hide their bodies in the gatehouse, in order to be sure, Shen Jiangtao also covered Yu Xu's mouth, for fear that he would make another sound at the critical moment.

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and the bell in the ears of the two was getting louder and louder, and the cold sweat on Yu Xu's forehead couldn't stop dripping.

Clang...

Clang... Clang...

Shen Jiangtao also began to sweat on his forehead, and he began to count silently in his heart: "One, two, three..."

"Six..."

When Shen Jiangtao secretly counted to six, he had already seen the black shadow leaning towards the edge of the gatehouse, and from the perspective of the black shadow, he would definitely not be able to see Shen Jiangtao and Yu Xu, but if he took a step further, the two would definitely be discovered.

"Seven, eight, nine..."

Just when Shen Jiangtao was about to count to ten in his heart and was about to rush out with a shovel, the black shadow retreated, and when he heard the bell ring, he turned around on the spot and went out of the alley.

Hearing the bell fading away, the two breathed a sigh of relief, let go of their clenched hands, and sat on the ground at the same time to gasp.

Shen Jiangtao eased up a little and asked, "Yu Xu, when did this bell ring disappear in the past?" ”

Yu Xu's face turned pale, he didn't listen to Shen Jiangtao's words, and after Shen Jiangtao shook him a few times, he reacted and asked in panic: "What...... What the? …… Devil? ”

Shen Jiangtao patted his head: "What kind of evil ghost, I said it, that is a middle-aged man." I ask you, when did the ringing of the bell disappear? ”

Only then did Yu Xu understand, and he replied with palpitations: "Around ten o'clock." ”

"Okay." Shen Jiangtao leaned against the corner and walked out: "Let's follow." ”

Yu Xu grabbed Shen Jiangtao and said in fear, "What else are you going to do?" He's gone, let's go home......"

"This man has made your whole village uneasy for the past few years, and you don't want to know who he really is? Where did it come from? Shen Jiangtao asked in a low voice.

Yu Xu hesitated suddenly, his heart was pounding at this time, his eyes were twisting from side to side, and he didn't know what decision to make.

"Hurry up, it's too late, don't let him run."

Shen Jiangtao left first, and when Yu Xu saw Shen Jiangtao going, he gritted his teeth and followed closely behind him again.

The two of them followed the sound of the bell closely, trying to slow down their steps, and their breathing was deliberately slow, only to see the black shadow float to the head of the village, stop for a while, turn left and right, and then go in the northwest direction.

"It's really human...... People, that's a ...... floating in the air," Yu Xu asked in shock.

Shen Jiangtao pointed to the bottom of the black shadow: "Look below, there are two thin things supporting it, it must be a person, as for how this person can float in the air, I don't know." ”

Yu Xu looked carefully under the black shadow, and sure enough, he could see something as thick as two thumbs, which was not easy to find during the day, and now it was even more difficult to see at night, if it wasn't for Shen Jiangtao's reminder, at a glance, the black shadow would be floating in the air.

The black shadow floated to a small forest in the northwest, and turned left and right several times, as if to check if anyone was following behind, and then heard a "poof" sound, as if a person was farting.

Then the shadow began to grow smaller, and then the shadow fell to the ground.

Shen Jiangtao, who leaned closer, saw clearly that this was indeed a middle-aged man, and he was wearing something that could be inflated, and the two thin things were two thin sticks like stilts.

The man took off his inflatable suit, folded the stick under his feet, stepped into a bush, got into a black car parked there, and left.

Yu Xu, who witnessed the whole process, completely believed Shen Jiangtao now, what kind of evil ghost came there, it was clearly a person who was scheming.

"Shen Jiangtao, what do you say this person wants to do? Pretending to be a ghost has scared our village for so many years. Yu Xu's tone was no longer trembling, full of indignation.

"I don't know, but he must have a purpose for pretending to be a demon like this." Shen Jiangtao pondered: "This person likes to pretend to be evil ghosts, and tomorrow I will let you be a ghost killer hero." ”

"Me? Ghost killer? Yu Xu was stunned.

After returning to Yu Xu's house, looking at the two people covered in dust, Yu Xu's parents, Miao Li, and Zhang Min all asked where they went, even if they went to the cemetery, they shouldn't have come back so late.

Yu Xu's mother said even more tremblingly: "After you went to the cemetery, the evil ghost bell sounded, and walked around the village several times, I am really worried that you will be hit by the evil ghost." ”

From the frightened expressions of Yu Xu's parents, it was obvious that they didn't believe what Shen Jiangtao had told them that the "evil ghost" was a middle-aged man.

After all, this is a "ghost" that has caused fear in Zhangjiacun for many years, and it will definitely not be dispelled by Shen Jiangtao's three or two sentences.

Rumors open a mouth, refute rumors and break your legs.

Now that the feng shui bureau of the cemetery has been broken by Shen Jiangtao, the next thing to do is to convince the villagers that the sound of the bell is not an "evil ghost".

Rumors that such evil spirits can lead to dead people can have serious consequences, especially in such villages.

And seeing that middle-aged man is well-prepared to pretend to be a demon, the purpose is likely to create an atmosphere for the evil ghost to choose people first, and then take the opportunity to harm people on the rumored May 5th.

Shen Jiangtao looked at Yu Xu's mother and asked, "Auntie, please tell me about Yu Xu's birthday." ”

"Birthday?" Yu Xu's mother didn't know why Shen Jiangtao suddenly asked this, but she still told him.

Shen Jiangtao asked for a pen and paper, wrote it down and stared at it repeatedly for a while, he winked at Yu Xu, and then made an excited look and said excitedly: "Yu Xu's birthday is the yang year and the yang day, and the three yangs converge, I think he can completely get rid of the evil ghosts!" ”
