Chapter 17: The Origin of the Soul Tower
The root of the tree that Wu Xing said was when Lu Jia fell into the illusion last night, in order to catch the master who controlled the resentful spirit.
At that time, Wu Xing retracted his whole body's breath and pasted an exorcism talisman on Lu Jia's forehead, and then threw out a demon slaying talisman in the center of the black mist vortex formed by the resentful spirits, and then after the mist dissipated, a section of tree roots fell from the center of the vortex.
But at the root of this tree, Wu Xing and Jiang Hao didn't feel half evil at all, mortals can only look at the surface of the five elements, even if they can't see the ontology, just look at the attributes of the five elements or Wu Xing, especially if you look at the wood. Since he said that Tao Ji is wood, he can't be wrong.
"If it's really her, seeing that she and Boss Huang are also acquaintances, why do you say she did this? Eh, can you see what happened to the girl last night? What the hell is that? Split souls? Jiang Hao is still rambling here, and Wu Xiang finally understands who Lu Jia sometimes talks so much nonsense.
"Don't you think about it yourself? Your Lu family is not even willing to use your brains except relying on magic weapons? ”
"Wu Xing, what's wrong with you in the Lu family? Besides, I'm not a member of the Lu family now. Oh no, who used two talismans in a row last night? ”
"It's not that you can't stand it, your precious apprentice has become a container for raising Gu? It's still a ghost Gu. ”
Jiang Hao was not calm when he heard this: "Wu Xing, we are buddies, right?" You really can't see what the master who lives in her body is? ”
"I can't see it." Wu Xing finished drinking the porridge, took a piece of paper and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly. "It doesn't seem like a bad thing anyway. At least not for now. Then no matter what Jiang Hao asked, he didn't answer.
"You have to love ...... when you die" After the meal, Jiang Hao's phone rang: "Brother Hao, where is it?" Just finished eating? I'm about to invite you to dinner. Ah, you wait to pay, I'll go right over. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Hao said indignantly: "This girl must have done it on purpose." After I finished the bill, I said that I would treat you. Wu Xing, Boss Huang will come over in a while. ”
Boss Huang just said, "Brother Hao, why didn't you wait for me to pay for it?" You see, I've been busy on the construction site for the past two days, and this will just be empty. After being polite, a few more dishes were served, and a bottle of shochu came.
"Tell me how your construction site has been in the past two days?" Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at Boss Huang.
"I remember I told you that one person died on the construction site the day before you came, and then another one died that night, the night you came. Then, one died every day for the past two days, and today is the fourth day. I've been plaguing the workers for the past few days. Many workers are quitting. If this is not solved, my project will be yellow. Brother Hao, what kind of doorway did you go to see that night? ”
Hearing the dead man again, Jiang Hao's face became serious, "Lao Huang, it's only been a few days, and you've lost a little weight again." ”
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he poured another glass of soju and said seriously: "Lao Huang, we are buddies, right?" Tell me how you and this Tao boss met? ”
"I'm on fire, I can't sleep well in this life. Sleep is a nightmare. Boss Huang's face was really haggard, but when it came to Tao Ji, he immediately eased up.
"You say Tao Ji? Brother Hao, let me tell you, Tao Ji is a good person, don't look down on others. When I met her back then, she fled from the famine on the other side of the river, do you know what it was like when there was a famine over there? Some of the children starved to death. If this is caught, it will be treason + national crime! At that time, I saw that she was strange and pitiful, so I took care of her for a while, and then I got her this restaurant. Although I'm not a good person, and I have made a lot of money, I really haven't done anything bad to Tao Ji. ”
When Boss Huang talked about Tao Ji, the middle-aged man who fell in love with happiness on his face was alive.
Jiang Hao frowned slightly when he heard him say this, and looked at Wu Xing's statue sitting there without any reaction, so he didn't ask any more questions. "Boss Huang, we understand the situation. We'll check back in the evening and get back in touch with you. ”
"Wu Xing, why don't we go and see it again in the evening?" Wu Xing still didn't speak. When Wu Xingyong was silent, Jiang Hao usually automatically corrected that he had acquiesced.
"Girl, if you don't slow down, I'll rest for another day, and I'll send you back for a while, and Wu Xing and I will go to Tana to have a look." Since he had to do something serious in a while, Jiang Hao didn't drink much, and the three of them said they would leave. After separating from Boss Huang, Lu Jia went back to the hotel first, and Jiang Hao and Wu Xing then drove to Guangji Garden Community, Yuanbao District.
This will be before dark to see the whole picture of the tower, during the day to see the tower is a hexagonal small tower, the front is engraved with "Manchurian stage victims of the silent monument". The base of the tower is scattered with a few palm-sized Buddha statues, and there are several incense burners full of incense ash. After finding a place to park nearby, Jiang Hao began to tell the history of Guangji Pagoda again.
"This tower, also called the Soul Tower, was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. Wasn't it popular to listen to dramas in those days? From the top to the officials and dignitaries, down to the ordinary people. Even that Lafayette Cixi is the master who loves to listen to operas. It is said that it was a bustling place at that time. At the beginning, this was a drama garden, and the name was still very loud [Juxian Tea Garden]. ”
"When it was time for the Republic of China, a big fire burned the Juxian Tea Garden. Later, someone rebuilt it, and the opera garden was renamed Qingsheng Tea Garden. This opera garden has also changed hands several times after the wind and rain, and when it comes to the puppet Manchurian, a fire will come to an end. It is said that the fire killed more than 1,000 people, and this Juxian Tea Garden became the Jugui Tea Garden. Later, in order to suppress the unjust souls, such a tower was built. ”
"How did that fire come about?" Wu Xing asked coldly.
"Who knows how? It is said to be artificial. The reason was that the stove in the background was too red, and [Hu Xiantang] was roasted. Speaking of this, Jiang Hao continued to talk to himself: "Why did the guy who burned the fire in the background fall asleep?" It stands to reason that there was a theater that year, and the backstage fire work in the garden was not so tiring. ”
"Hu Xiantang." Wu Xing repeated these three words.
"Well, Fox Immortal Hall." Jiang Hao's eyes lit up. In the history of Northeast China, there were shamans in the Manchurian and Mongolian regions, and there were many ordinary people who worshipped Baojiaxian at home. Therefore, this "Hu Xiantang" is "Huxian Hall".
"For Hahuxian Temple, we have to wait a while until it gets dark. Why don't we try our luck first? Jiang Hao looked like he was asking Wu Xing, but he had already turned the car around and drove away.
Jiang Hao was talking about the scenery of Dandong all the way, as if he was the landlord here. "We're going to Wulong Mountain now, in the northeastern suburbs of Dan. It's just in time to go, and it's only three hours back and forth, and you'll be able to come back after dark. Wu Xing didn't ask him what he was doing, he closed his eyes and recuperated.
But when Jiang Hao drives, he always likes to talk about local customs. This is not surprising, over the years, Jiang Hao has been the owner of a feng shui transfer shop in Panjiayuan, and he has been in contact with all kinds of people, and he has exercised his ability to speak like a river.
"If you want me to say the name [Anton]. This place has been the northeast frontier since ancient times, and the people are not living in a good place due to the constant wars. How many bones have to be stepped on under the soles of his feet, and how many souls have to be ......" Jiang Hao looked at himself and his eyebrows fluttered, not caring whether Wu Xing, who was in the passenger seat with his eyes closed, heard it or not.
