The person who patted me on the shoulder was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was dressed in plain clothes and trousers, no different from ordinary villagers, but his facial features were extremely ugly.

I saw that he had no eyebrows, squinted eyes, upturned nostrils, a pair of provocative ears, and two thick lips that were pouting out of the body looked very abrupt in his facial features.

I thought to myself that this guy was too ugly, but I still asked him out of politeness, "Hello, what's the matter?" ”

Zhang Nifeng saw that the other party slapped me with his hand as soon as he came up, so he pulled me behind him and asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Hewu, knock on the golden idea of Shun Shuiwan, one of the Colang yards, the sharp bucket seems to be empty, the piano is the old river, the general in the sharp situation, wake up?" The man with a strange ugly face said to Zhang Nifeng, and he didn't speak quickly, as if he was afraid that we wouldn't hear clearly.

I thought to myself, don't be a psychopath, what kind of nonsense is said, no matter how slow you speak, the donkey's lips are not the same as the horse's mouth, and I just wanted to pull Zhang Nifeng away, but he suddenly spoke.

"Hard work, with the old man's gossip, but it is not Lao Hai's thoughts, and the lower row of piano is only half-eyed."

The ugly-looking man was overjoyed when he heard this, and bluntly said that he had found the right person this time, and told us not to move, and he went back as soon as he went, and then went into the alley by the roadside.

I asked Zhang Nifeng what kind of bird language the two of them were talking about just now, and he explained to me that this was a black word on the rivers and lakes, and the man just now said to him, "We are all on the same Tao, I worshipped the gentleman surnamed Liu to learn to deduce the number of fate, a countryman, I look at this big girl like a layman, but brother, you should be an insider, you must be a true Taoist with ability, can you understand?" ’。

I didn't expect there to be so many doorways, so I asked him, "How did you answer?" ”

"I'll just ask him, are you also a person in the industry, I learned the Yin and Yang Dao technique from my father, but I didn't run the rivers and lakes, and my brother I just don't know much about it." Zhang Nifeng replied.

As we were talking, we saw the ugly-looking man pedaling a tricycle back just now, he parked the car, and said that he was the descendant of Mr. Liu, who built this archway, and asked us to get in the car quickly, and wanted to take us to his house to talk in detail, and ask him on the way if there was any problem.

Didn't Zhang Nifeng and I go on this trip to find this person, I didn't expect it to take no effort to get here.

At that moment, the three of us went back to the guest house in a car, picked up our luggage, and went to his house in the dust, not far from Liujiazhuang in Zhukou Village.

I've never ridden a tricycle since I've grown up, and it's a lot of fun to bump and wobble along the way.

"Big brother, what do you call you?" My mind was full of question marks, and I picked the simplest one.

"My surname is Gao, just call me Lao Gao."

"Brother Gao, how did you find us?" Zhang Nifeng asked, sitting across from me.

"You forgot what I learned, I was at home a few days ago to deduce the hexagram, I knew that someone was going to come to me these days, and it was related to the archway of this Zhukou." Brother Gao said a little embarrassed, "But you should also know that this week's hexagram technique is so accurate, and it can only be deduced, so I go around these two archways every day, looking for outsiders who don't usually come to us, but whenever you meet you, you will definitely recognize it, no, I bumped into it." He laughed to himself.

Although it is said that it is across a village, the distance is not too far, and it takes about half an hour to walk on a tricycle to Liujiazhuang in the mouth of Brother Gao.

Brother Gao's family lives in the corner of Liujiazhuang, we pulled three benches and sat down in his yard, in my eyes, his yard is no different from other houses around, the same tiles and glazed tiles, the same red brick courtyard.

But Zhang Nifeng next to me couldn't help but be amazed, saying that the location of this courtyard and the layout of the courtyard are really good, living in this kind of place, although it can't be said that it is blessed for three generations, but it must be able to avoid evil.

Brother Gao told him that they are all small carving insect skills that are not worth mentioning, but it depends on your brother, you are magnificent, and I don't know what school or school you are learning from.

Zhang Nifeng reported himself to him, and when he said that he was the descendant of the Heavenly Master, the eldest brother Gao was obviously very shocked, and said that he didn't expect to get acquainted with a master of metaphysics like him in his lifetime.

I rolled my eyes countless times in my heart, and I was also a master of metaphysics, and I let a mother and baby be abused to the point of being decent, and I still said something superior, but it was not easy to say it directly on my face, so I could only watch them praise each other from the sidelines.

"Brother Gao, we came this time to find the descendants of the old gentleman who built the archway in Zhuankou Village, and see if we can find a way to cure her body." Zhang Nifeng finally got back to the point.

I was anxious, and I also said: "Brother Gao, there is nothing to do with me here, you say that I am not wronged, you have to find a way to help me." Then he told him what had happened to me.

Brother Gao first looked at me, and then said that this matter is really tricky, and he is also confused, and said that his grandfather is Mr. Liu, who built the two archways, and he has only heard about Mr. Liu's affairs for a long time.

According to his master's speculation to him, Mr. Liu was a physiognomist who served in the inner courtyard of the palace in the past, and was later degraded and exiled to the people because he offended the powerful.

He did his best to deduce the number of qi pulse lives for the royal family, and the people who cultivated the Tao were all numerologists of "five disadvantages and three deficiencies", and Mr. Liu was destined to commit a crime, so it was rare to have a son and a half daughter under the old knee, so there was no way to pass on the mantle to the foreign surname.

Because of this, there are very few of his skills that have really been handed down, and when it comes to the eldest brother, he can only take a peek at the leopard in his life, so he is helpless against this rare thing that is rare in me.

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but be disappointed, I ran so far to get such an answer, I didn't know what "five disadvantages and three shortcomings" were, so I asked Zhang Nifeng to explain it to me.

He told me that the so-called five evils refer to "widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability." And the three deficiencies are "blessing, lu, and longevity", that is, "money, life, and power".

The old and without a wife are called "widows", the old and without a husband are called "widows", the old and childless are called "alone", the young and fatherless are called "lonely", and the physical disability is called "disabled".

If the cultivator interferes in the cause and effect of this world without authorization, then the part of the power of creation that has been changed must be borne by the person who interferes with it, which is reflected in the form of five disadvantages and three deficiencies.

"Do you also have five disadvantages and three shortcomings?" I asked him jokingly.

Unexpectedly, he really turned his head and replied to me: "I am lonely in my life, and my father let me die." ”

I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him, and he still killed his father, knowing that I was speechless, I quickly shut my mouth.

Zhang Nifeng's face was as usual, ignored me, and said: "By the way, Brother Gao, the two arches that Mr. Liu built back then, I saw the one on the east side, it was really a ingenious setting, but it was ......."

"But there's something missing from the one to the west, isn't it?" Without waiting for Zhang Nifeng to finish asking, Big Brother Gao continued his words.

Zhang Nifeng hurriedly nodded yes, saying that he always felt that the archway in the west was missing some solemnity, and whether the workers had missed something when they put it back.

Brother Gao sighed and said that this matter had to start before the archway was demolished.

At the beginning, the reason why the archway in Zhuankou Village was demolished was because a rich businessman came to the village, saying that the ancestor was a person from the village, and now he was mixing well outside, so he wanted to come back to engage in construction and accumulate some yin virtue for the ancestor, otherwise the village committee would have so much money to build a new house for the villagers.

When the archway was demolished, the elder brother Gao didn't know about it, and it wasn't until the sixth child had an accident that the news reached his ears.

He hurriedly pedaled three wheels to the village committee of Zhukou Village to ask people to install the archway, but halfway through the installation, he realized that something was not quite right, because he found that something was missing.

He is the successor of Mr. Liu, and naturally knows the mystery of this archway, which was originally hidden in the beam of this archway, but it is missing.

We hurriedly asked him what it was, and he had to hide it so hidden in the beam.

Brother Gao sighed and said: "If you want to drive away evil spirits, you must have something that can suppress evil spirits. ”

At that time, Mr. Liu didn't want to meddle in this matter, but it involved 218 lives in the whole village of Zhukou Village, and he really couldn't bear to see death without saving, so he forcibly changed the cause and effect to build these two memorial arches, and put a peachwood sword that he regarded as a treasure in it in order to achieve the effect of deterring evil spirits.

"Can a peachwood sword be so powerful?" I asked.

Big Brother Gao shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I also listened to my master, in fact, I don't know much about this sword, I only know that it is not an ordinary thing." ”

Zhang Nifeng stood up and paced a few steps, and said to us: "No wonder I always feel that something is missing, it turns out that this magic weapon is missing, the White Tiger Archway is like an ink artist painting a dragon, and this peach wood sword is the dragon's eye." ”

"There is such divine power, if I guess correctly, the peach wood sword hidden in the archway should be a Taoist magic weapon - the Heavenly Master Peach Wood Sword." He continued.

I asked him if it was the same as the previous bundle of corpses, he nodded and said to us that the so-called peach, the essence of the five trees, has the magic of warding off evil spirits in the town, and in ancient times, there was a legend that the two gods of Shen Tu and Yu Lei killed demons with peach swords, and according to legend, the peach wood sword used by the two gods was taken from the peach forest that turned into a peach forest after the death of Kuafu.

In the late Shang Dynasty, King Yin was confused by the fox spirit Su Daji, and the dynasty was decayed, and the people complained.

Lei Zhenzi's master, Yun Zhongzi, is the person who is best at refining weapons under the sect, and he imitates a peachwood sword with reference to the story of the two gods of Shen Tu and Yu Lei to kill demons, and hangs it in the court, so that Daji does not dare to approach.

This sword was nameless, and then it was obtained by the heavenly master Zhang Daoling, and he admired it all his life, and he subdued the demons and slashed countless demons, so it was called the heavenly master peach wood sword by Taoism, and it is the most evil thing in the Taoist magic weapon.
