Just as we were about to get to the point, the car suddenly stopped, and we didn't notice that we had arrived at the station while listening to his story.

The bald eldest brother took out his backpack from under his feet, and said to me as he walked to the car door: "Oh, anyway, it's very evil, and the people in the village say that the sixth child is the evil ghost who shook under the archway." ”

I saw that he was about to walk to the car door, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to the Taoist priest in the end, is he dead?" ”

"Dead but not dead, he met the ghost hit the wall that night and fainted, and when he woke up the next day, he found himself lying alone in the grave circle of the village to wash his hair, and then strange things continued anyway, and finally the archway was set up back, which is good." The others had already gotten out of the car, and the last few words were almost shouted back at me.

I looked at Zhang Nifeng beside me and found that he seemed to be thoughtful, so I asked, "Do you think the sixth child was killed by the unjust soul of the crooked eyes family?" ”

Zhang Nifeng pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Probably not, isn't the archway in the village built to suppress the unjust soul of the crooked eyes family, it is said that it should have been controlled by the power of the archway to suppress evil, either fall into the six realms, or scattered, there must be other cats here." ”

"Aren't ghosts always there?" I asked.

"Nonsense, everything in heaven and earth is within the six realms, and no one can escape except for some odd numbers."

As soon as I heard that there was a lot of knowledge here, I urged him to get up and get out of the car and let him tell me about it.

He said that after this ordinary person dies, he will become a ghost, and ghosts are not immortal, and ordinary ghosts will fall directly into the six realms after 7749 days, namely 'gods, heaven, earth, people, animals, and ghosts', and those lonely souls and wild ghosts who fall forever into the 'ghost path' are not immortal, and the ghost path is equivalent to one month in the world for a day and night.

But if the ghost is killed again during this period, it will turn into a ghost, he said that he wrote an extremely complicated text in the palm of my hand, and told me that it was recorded in the ancient book "Five Syllable Rhymes": "When a person dies as a ghost, he is afraid of it; Ghosts are dead, and ghosts are afraid. If the word seal is pasted on the door, all ghosts will be worshipped, far away from thousands of miles. "That is to say, this kind of thing is what ghosts fear the most.

And the Wei is not the end, the death of the Xi will turn into Xi, and the death of Xi will turn into Yi, the "Tao Te Ching" for Xi Yi also has a record of saying: "Blind to the name of Yi, to hear not known to Xi." "It's the so-called invisible and silent.

I listened energetically, and hurriedly asked him if the evil star in my body was the result of the ghost after he died, and if so, wouldn't I be quite powerful.

He shook his head and said that it was right for the ghost to die and turn into a ghost, but Zhao Ran was a ghost of unjust death, and the ghost of unjust death would turn into evil when refined, and the evil was one of the outliers that did not enter the six realms of reincarnation just now, among which the more famous ones were the mother and baby evil and the flower evil.

I heard this and said that I knew that Zhou Zuoren had written the prose "Huasha", but he shook his head and said that he didn't know who Zhou Zuoren was.

He said dry-mouthed, and then said to me, "Okay, you don't understand it too deeply, let's find a place to live first." ”

It was the first time I had gone far away, and I said that everything was up to him.

He looked around and found that they were all villagers' own houses, and there were no hotels or anything like that, so he pulled a passing elder sister and asked where there were hotels in the village.

The eldest sister looked at us for a long time and said that there are few outsiders in our village, so open a hotel for ghosts to live in, and if you want to find a place to live, go to the guest house of the village committee and ask, and then pointed us in a direction.

As soon as I heard the three words of the village committee, my heart was full of resistance, didn't the sixth child die in the compound of the village committee, I told Zhang Nifeng what I thought in my heart, but he said that it would be good to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, it is better than sleeping on the street.

However, when we arrived at the village committee, we found that it was not the scene I imagined in my heart, and I had been imagining the village committee compound as a dark and narrow old village building, but in reality, although it was not magnificent, it was at least very bright and spacious.

The eldest lady in charge of the registration of the guest house was obviously very surprised by our arrival, and told us that usually there were some short-term workers and long-distance drivers who worked, and that there had never been a college student from the city.

We were worried that we would lose too much, so we only received the key and let her take it to the room, and the two of us put away our belongings and made an appointment to go to the village to see the two rumored archways.

Zhuankou Village is not big, from the east of the village to the west of the village is less than ten minutes away, because the east of the archway has not been passive, so we ran to the east first.

When I saw this archway, to be honest, I was still a little disappointed, before in the story of the miraculous introduction of the heavenly soldier archway at the moment, that is, a slightly larger door frame, look at its size is barely more than a liberation truck, no wonder the village will feel that it is blocking traffic.

The details are even more miserable, although it is obvious that it has been renovated, but the traces of weathering on the wooden beams are still obvious.

I pointed to the archway in front of me with a look of disgust and said to Zhang Nifeng: "Isn't this just a broken door frame?" ”

Zhang Nifeng said with a heavy face: "You know a fart, this is the ultimate in feng shui, if you don't have a deep knowledge of feng shui metaphysics, it will be difficult to build such a ghostly thing." ”

"Can this also be called a miracle?" I touched the thick wooden pillar in front of me and said.

"Miniaturize the entire village according to the proportions, and the pillar you touched corresponds to the eastern earthquake position in the gossip." He said, staring at the wooden pillar I was rubbing.

I hurriedly put my hand back.

"The one on the other side corresponds to the southeast Xun position in the gossip." He continued, "If you look up, there are two rows of Rui beasts on both sides of the archway, which are the fox, the bullfight, the pig, the phoenix, and the fish. ”

I looked in the direction of his finger and found that there were indeed two rows of squatting beasts in the two corners of the archway, but I looked wide-eyed, and I only recognized one phoenix, and the rest were all unknown.

I asked him what these little beasts were for, and he said that they were all Rui beasts of the town house, and the six beasts in the 'Five Ridges and Six Beasts' referred to these six kinds of strange beasts.

"However, the world only knows the six beasts, but they don't know that there are ten beasts, and the other four beasts are 'dragons, lions, heavenly horses, seahorses, and Xingshi', and the gathering of the ten beasts is the photo of the Son of Heaven, and the number and order of the ten beasts are not arbitrary, and the depth of knowledge in them is not something that ordinary people can see." He went on to explain.

"In my opinion, the master who built this archway must have something to do with the royal family, maybe it was the feng shui that flowed out of the Forbidden City in the early years." The more he talked, the more energetic he became, and said that his eyes were shining brightly when he looked at the archway.

I didn't expect that there are so many old archways that seem to break the door frame, it is really a layman to see the lively, an insider to see the doorway, when I think of the layman, I think of the old six who died because of the demolition of the archway, and then urged Zhang Nifeng to go to the west of the village to take a look.

He was very interested in these two arches at the moment, and even nodded in agreement.

Sure enough, the archway at the west end of the village is still a broken door frame in my eyes.

I deliberately asked Zhang Nifeng, "Master Zhang, what did you say this time?" ”

He circled around the archway twice before he said slowly: "Strange...... Although this archway is built in full line with the principle of the transformation of the four elephants and gossip, and the design everywhere also corresponds to the way of feng shui, but I always feel that there is something missing from this archway. ”

When I heard him say this, I also took a closer look, and saw that the two sides of the archway were not carved with the previous beasts, so I asked, "Are those little beasts missing?" ”

"No, the archway just now is to attract the heavenly soldiers, and the one in front of me is to suppress evil spirits and exorcise demons, and there is no need for those things. You see the unicorn, pixiu, and turtle patterns engraved on this beam, which correspond to human disasters, poverty, and disease. It looks more like a blessing than an exorcism. He seemed very confused, touched his chin and said to me.

I didn't quite understand what he meant, but I only understood it, but I also knew that this torii seemed to have a different effect than the rumored ones.

I asked him if it would be because of the spread of the people, this archway was originally used to pray for blessings.

He said no, just now the archway was built in full line with the feng shui kan in the number of techniques, it is impossible to get here to rebuild a random meal, look at the direction of the archway set and its basic structure, it is obviously the white tiger sitting in the west of the evil thing, just like the big array is missing the eyes of the general always make people feel that something is missing.

I asked him if it was something that the workers had left out when they replanted the archway and had not been restored.

He thought for a moment and said that this was the only explanation that made sense.

While we were discussing what was missing from the torii, we suddenly heard someone talking behind us.

"Are you interested in this torii?"

I turned around and saw that the person talking to us was a very old grandmother, and next to her was a boy of two or three years old.

"Yes, auntie, we are college students from Beijing, studying history, and we are here to study this archway." Zhang Nifeng suddenly changed his face and said with a harmless expression.

I thought to myself that this wasn't me casually making up nonsense in the car, he was blushing and his heart was not beating when he used it, but it was inconvenient to debunk it at the moment, so I acted with him.

"Grandma, do you know who built it?" I asked.

The grandmother obviously didn't have good ears, so she actually looked at the child next to me and replied, "Whose family?" This is the white eyes of my second daughter's family. ”

Zhang Nifeng held back a wicked smile and said to me that the white eyes were the meaning of his grandson, I knew that he was deliberately laughing at me, kicked him in the ass, and raised the volume and asked: "Grandma, I'm asking, do you know who built this archway!" ”

I pulled my throat to the loudest and felt like my eardrums were buzzing.

Grandma heard my question clearly, and replied tremblingly: "I know, I know, Mr. Liu's Gai Deli!" ”

As soon as I heard that there was a way, I was about to ask, when I noticed that someone suddenly tapped me on the shoulder behind me.
