Chapter 108: Evil Happens
I originally wanted to figure out why there was a Ximen Yuchi in the underworld, but there was also a Li Yuchi, but these three people who I thought were insiders just refused to say it to me directly.
So I took a roundabout tactic and asked the Venerable Master Hongyu about the big black rat spirit, but I didn't expect that they didn't care about the big black rat spirit at all, but they were interested in what kind of immobilizing pill was, and they still refused to answer my question.
"However, whether it's in the antique shop during the day, or I'm in that sedan chair, that guy looks like he should be a ghost in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, but why did he become a rat spirit here just now?" My purpose is pure, I just want to know what this is all about.
However, the three of them, who I thought were very experts, were silent, they were silent, how can this work, and who will answer the sister's question.
It seems that I still have to continue to ask, sister doesn't ask, understand, how can I let go of my heart, if one day a sister comes out of the original body in another world, how should my sister deal with it.
I was about to speak, when a group of people flashed in front of me, and in the darkness of the night, they were standing on the road we were passing by, and they surrounded me.
I stammered and asked if it was a human or a ghost, my heart was beating so much, it was about to come out of my mouth, how could I always encounter these things this night, this is endless.
I looked at the people in front of me in frustration, but I heard the Venerable Master's affirming voice: "That's the villagers here, we shouldn't be able to get out for a while." ”
As long as those are not ghosts, not spirits, I am at ease, as for why the Venerable Master Hongyu said that we will not be able to get away for a while, I don't know this, but I don't care, people are better than ghosts than spirits.
The men quickly surrounded our car and said that their village chief had said that it was too late and that we should stay here for the night before leaving.
We all know that this is just an excuse to keep us, and they can't just let us stay here like robbers.
The van drove into a small farmhouse yard, turned off the fire, and we walked down one by one, facing the villagers as if waiting for the judgment of the master, waiting for them to speak.
Two old men came out of the house and let us in, they still looked polite, and we were half relieved.
It's only half of it down, and half of it hangs, I don't know what they're going to do next, and no one will be looking for trouble on their own.
Just as a few of us sat down, wanting to chat with them and find out what they were doing, we heard a commotion in the courtyard.
An old man climbed up the window and asked what was wrong, only to hear someone outside shouting to him that our van had moved on its own.
The car drove by itself, how could this be possible, Master Hongyu and Lu Liansheng didn't say anything, they pulled their feet and walked out, and both of them sweated on their faces.
I was about to go out after them, but I was stopped by Wang Zhenren Wang Ji, who motioned for me to sit here and wait, and let them settle the matter.
The two old men also laughed, and both said that what is the use of me going out as a girl, these should be things that men are fiddling with.
However, they don't know if I'm still curious, I really want to go out and see how the car starts on its own, and if Ultraman is really here.
I heard a commotion in the courtyard, and then I saw a faint yellow light flying out of the hand of the Venerable Master Hongyu through the window, and then we saw our little van rushing backwards into the stack of firewood at the villager's house.
The firewood stacks collapsed violently, and many firewood and grass were knocked into the air, and the people in the yard were covered with the firewood and grass that fell from the sky.
Seeing this, the people in the room were first startled, and then they all laughed, and the people in the woods and grass looked so funny.
I don't know when a dog ran in the yard and barked loudly at the people in the yard, causing the domestic animals to panic too, and for a time the barks of various animals and the laughter of the people resounded.
Master Hongyu and Lu Liansheng patted the dust on their bodies and walked in, they were still laughing and talking to the villagers as they walked, and as soon as they entered, they saw the two old men with their old faces, but they didn't say anything, they were still smiling on their faces.
I ran over and asked them what was the matter, why was the car still driving itself?
"I forgot the hand brake." Lu Liansheng said to me lightly.
The two old men in the room invited the two of them to sit down, and someone poured boiled water and placed it in front of the two of them.
This makes me a little jealous, they have water to drink, but I and Wang Zhenren, Wang Ji and Archie even found a place to sit by themselves, these are all people together, how can there be such a big difference in treatment.
The old man was not polite to the Venerable Master Hongyu, and directly said what he meant.
It turns out that there has always been a strange rule in this village, that is, the men here are not allowed to leave the village to live outside, let alone go out to work, that is, no matter how capable they are, they must stay at home obediently and honestly.
Although they also knew that it was an incredible and strange thing, they could not help but do it, which they had passed down from their ancestors' generation, and they did not dare to disobey it.
Some people also say that this is because their ancestors here don't want the village to be abandoned, and some people say that this is because the past world was too chaotic, and the ancestors were afraid that their children and grandchildren would make a mistake, so they set up such a rule.
If the ancestors regarded this place as a peach blossom source, when they first built the village, they should have found a place where the terrain was dangerous and people could not find it, but what is puzzling is that there is no natural barrier to isolate the world, but it is very open.
If they don't go out, it doesn't mean that others don't come in, watching others come to their own villages, the young people in the village can't sit still, and there are many people who go out for a walk, and of course there are also people who find jobs outside.
There is a lot of money to be made outside, and the young people look greedy, so they boldly go out, first one or two, and then they go out in gangs to make a living, and the more people go out, the more people don't see anything, and gradually the young people are bold, and they simply move their families.
It turned out that the people who were a little older were still holding back, but later they saw that the living conditions outside were good, and there was no way to make money in the village.
Just three years ago, someone suddenly had a car accident and died so miserably, to see that no one is not heartbroken, but people have good and bad luck, which is also inevitable, and no one thinks about the words of the ancestors.
Next, when I went home for the Chinese New Year last year, next to the land we just passed by, a bus crashed into a big tree on the side of the road, and only the driver survived.
Forget about these, it's just some natural and man-made disasters, but recently there has been news from those outside that a family has begun to suffer from some chronic diseases, although it is not the same disease, but it is quite unbearable for a family to be sick, and it is even more strange that several families are in this situation.
"Some of the conditions are not very good, and they have come back, and those who are in good conditions and seek medical advice outside are about to be unable to support it, no, there are still people asking for sponsorship from the village." The old man spread out his hands and said to the Venerable Master Hongyu with a wry smile.
"How's the guy who came back, alright?" The Venerable Master was not surprised, but was very concerned about the families of those who were sick.
"Where can it be cured, no, there are two families with cancer, how can this cancer be cured, just waiting to die in the village." The old man shook his head helplessly.
There are not many people who get cancer, and if you don't live in a small village, it is not uncommon for your family to have cancer, but it is surprising that there are two families in this small village.
If they all get this disease in the village, it will make people think that there is a problem with the water and soil in the village, but now those who have left the village have all contracted the same disease, which makes people have to guess.
"Is there anyone who hasn't come back outside who says he's sick?" The Venerable Master Hongyu still looked calm.
"No, after these things happened, we began to contact those people, and those who were not in contact were not very healthy, either they were sick or encountered other disasters." When the old man saw that the Venerable Master Hongyu was so calm, he was also very calm, and only looked at the Venerable Master Hongyu with his eyes.
The Venerable Master Hongyu asked some more things, and they didn't know much, the words of the ancestor had been handed down, but what kind of person the ancestor was, what kind of line he did, and how he got here, there was no way to know.
At this time, there was a commotion outside, the village chief came back with people, and when he walked in, we saw that it was the person who was talking to Lu Liansheng in the cemetery, and he was not surprised to see us, but he grinned at us with a big mouth, took the water scoop handed over by a woman, and drank it in one gulp.
"How's it going, Three Pillars, what's the fire there?" The old man asked him with a serious face.
"It's a wildfire." Sanzhuzi wiped a handful of water droplets from the corners of his mouth and said to the old man.
"Wildfire?" The old man looked surprised.
Then a young man walked in, heard their conversation, and interjected: "Yes, what a strange fire, and I didn't hear thunder, and I didn't see anything stirring up, so there was such a fire." ”
"How's it going in the mountains?" The old man still asked Sanzhuzi with a serious face.
"The trees are all burned." Sanzhuzi didn't look at the old man talking, but looked at the Venerable Master Hongyu.
The old man sighed, and turned his gaze back to the Venerable Master Hongyu, who had not spoken, but had already said a lot in that gaze.
The Venerable Master looked at them leisurely with his cup, the corners of his mouth turned upward, and an indescribable smile appeared on his dry face.
