Chapter 2278: The Well (Grand Chapter)
Lai Pi and Hei Pi were beaten dizzy, and said bitterly: "No, Uncle Lin, you are my father, how could I betray you?" ”
"I'll spare the two of you this time, and next time, see how I clean you up!" The ghost Taoist waved his hand and shouted, "Get out of the way for me, don't block my hexagram stall." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Raippi and Blackpi nodded and walked around behind the Ghost Chief, looking at the crowd with a look on their faces.
After cleaning up Luo Qiye's play just now, now, the villagers who rushed to the market have begun to believe in the ability of the ghost Taoist. Someone walked up, took out a banknote, and asked the ghost chief to tell his fortune.
The ghost Taoist nodded, asked about the birthday, and began to calculate.
The people who watched the excitement still did not disperse, and the ghost road chief was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
Because this is the real business, you need to show your skills to everyone, so the ghost Taoist is very serious, and he has calculated all the big and small things in the other party's family.
The ability of the ghost Taoist is much better than that of Li Qingdong later, and what he calculates is really foolproof.
The villagers around all threw themselves to the ground, and they admired the ghost chief.
When the first business was over, the people around them stretched out their hands, handed over their bills, and shouted, "Old man, count me one, count me one!" ”
The ghost chief didn't take the money, and shouted at Lai Pi Heipi: "Let everyone line up, tell everyone, I only count ten people a day, it's too much, not allowed!" Two have been counted today, and there are eight more in the back, and the stall will be closed after the calculation. ”
Heipi and Laipi were overjoyed, pulled the banner as a tiger skin, shouted and shouted, pushed the onlookers outward, and told everyone to line up.
Seeing the two gangsters, the villagers all consciously lined up, and some people knew that they couldn't get in line, so they left stupidly, planning to come back tomorrow.
So, the ghost chief told everyone's fortune on the street.
Fortune-telling in the countryside is also a trivial matter, nothing more than when to get rich, how much longevity or something. These things, for the ghost chief, are extremely simple.
The head of the ghost road was unhurried, and counted them one by one, and at ten o'clock, he was full of ten trigrams, and he announced his rest.
Kuropi and Raitpi put the table and bench away and went to eat with the Onido chief.
The ghost chief ordered four dishes, asked for a bottle of wine, and took the two gangsters to eat.
"Uncle Lin, your fortune telling is so accurate, we should increase the price, earning ten yuan a day like this, it's not enough to eat." Raippi said.
"The price will start to increase tomorrow, five yuan a hexagram; Continue to add the day after tomorrow, ten yuan a hexagram. The Ghost Daoist said.
Heipi was overjoyed and said: "Ten yuan is a hexagram, ten hexagrams a day is only one hundred yuan, if the three people divide it equally...... It's still not too much, Uncle Lin. ”
The ghost Taoist snorted and said, "The current fortune telling is used to maintain food and drink, and when I find that thing and sell it, I will have more money, and I can bury the two of you in the pile of money!" ”
The thing that the ghost Taoist chief said was naturally talking about the golden head.
"Yes, yes, Uncle Lin, you're right, we're going to put a long line to catch big fish, hehe......" Lai Pi Heipi jumped up excitedly.
After three cups, Lai Pi lowered his voice and asked, "Uncle Lin, how did you say that golden head came from?" ”
"Hehe, you know the story of the Yellow Emperor vs. Chiyou, right? That Chi You is the one you have here, you know? The Ghost Dao Chief said slowly.
The two thugs nodded hurriedly: "I know, I know, but what does this matter have to do with Chiyou?" ”
"You don't understand this, wasn't Chiyou defeated by the Yellow Emperor? Therefore, the Yellow Emperor cut off Chi You's head to show the public, but he brought Chi You's body back to the remnants of Chi You's defeated soldiers. The ghost Taoist smiled, opened his mouth, and said:
Everyone brought Chi You's body back, thinking in their hearts, the king has been mighty all his life, and he has no head when he dies, which is too miserable. So everyone made a head out of gold and put it on Chiyou's neck. What I'm looking for now is Chiyou's golden head! ”
The two thugs were stunned for a moment, and said together: "Oh, it turned out to be Chiyou's golden head!" ”
"Shh......h Be quiet, and don't let others hear! The Ghost Dao Leader hurriedly stopped.
Raippi hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "If that is the case, that thing is still in Chiyou's tomb?" But I haven't heard of any big tombs here? ”
"There used to be tombs, but then there was an earthquake, and everything in the ground moved, so I had to calculate slowly." The Ghost Daoist said.
The two thugs nodded again, so flattering. They have no culture, and whatever the ghost Taoist chief says, it is.
After dinner, I went back to rest, and after taking a nap, the ghost chief took two followers and walked around the vicinity of Xishui Town.
Lai Pi and Hei Pi didn't know what the Ghost Dao Master was going to do, so they asked, "Uncle Lin, are you looking for that thing?" ”
"Well, if it's okay, just come out and walk around, it's idle anyway. People in the city walk their dogs, and I'll slip you two. The Ghost Daoist said.
Lai Pi and Hei Pi were not angry, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, we are your dogs, we will bite whoever you want us to bite!" ”
The ghost Taoist laughed and said, "I'm afraid that when I see Luo Wuxian, you will have to wag your tail at him again." ”
"No, Uncle Lin, never again. I heard that Luo Wuxian, who knew that he had lost someone, had already left the Xishui Village. Raippi laughed.
"Good...... In short, if you follow me, you will have your benefits in the future. The ghost path chief put his hands behind his back and continued to walk, looking east and west.
If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short.
In this way, the ghost Taoist lived in Xishui Village, and he lived for more than a month.
Every morning, the ghost chief goes to the market to set up a stall to tell the fortunes, and every afternoon, the ghost chief wanders around the north and south villages.
In the past month or so, the ghost chief has also established a great prestige in Xishui Village, and almost all the villagers have known the ghost chief and are respectful to the ghost chief. There are even rumors that the ghost Taoist is an immortal, and he is the reincarnation of Liu Bowen, etc......
And Heipi and Laipi, because they follow the ghost road, are also rising, and they are superior in the stream village.
The ghost chief also restrained the two guys, forcing them to swear that they would no longer be pickpockets and would not do petty theft. The hexagram money obtained from the daily calculation, in addition to the cost of eating and drinking, the ghost Taoist chief also gave Heipi and Laipi.
These two guys gradually understood the truth of gathering less into more, and they actually had a little savings. Although it is only three or five hundred yuan, it is a huge amount of money for them.
That afternoon, the Ghost Daoist was still wandering around the periphery of the village.
When I walked to the east end of Beizhai, the ghost Taoist suddenly stopped, guided the village with his hand, and said: "It's not good, there is black gas over there, I'm afraid that there are evil ghosts doing evil and harming people!" ”
Lai Pi and Hei Pi looked in the direction of the Ghost Dao Chief's finger, but they didn't see anything, so they asked, "Uncle Lin, where is the black qi, why didn't we see it?" All I saw was someone cooking, black smoke coming out of the chimney. ”
"You're mortal, of course you can't see it!" The Ghost Dao Leader glared at him and said, "Let's go, follow me to have a look!" ”
The two thugs didn't dare to ask again, followed behind the ghost road chief, and walked towards Nanzhai together.
From Beizhai to Nanzhai, there is a river in between, that is, this stream river. Because of historical reasons, Nanzhai has always been richer, while Beizhai is relatively poor.
Heipi and Laipi belong to Beizhai, and they are even poorer people.
The three of them crossed the river and walked back and forth towards Nanzhai.
The ghost road has been walking and stopping for a long time, watching again and again, and there is something to worry about.
When the two thugs heard that there were evil spirits, they were naturally afraid, and the thieves looked around.
Coming to the small road in front of the village in Nanzhai, the ghost road chief walked straight to the west, and suddenly stopped in front of the door of a large family.
It stands to reason that in that era, there were no big families, but in the south of this river village, there was indeed such a family, the only one big family.
The family's surname is Huang, and they live in an old building in the Ming and Qing dynasties, with contiguous houses, covering a vast area, with a gatehouse and a yard. On the vermilion gate, there is also a pair of beast head knockers, which are particularly powerful.
Lai Pi saw the ghost Taoist stop here, hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the ghost Taoist chief, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Lin, this house is very weird, don't mess with him." ”
"What's that weird method?" The Oni Dao Chief asked.
"They all say that this is a fierce place, and if you go in, you will die. Everyone said that there were people in the front yard and ghosts in the backyard......" Raippi whispered.
The ghost Taoist chief smiled, raised his feet and walked into the gate of the Huang family, and said, "Is anyone at home?" ”
Raippi and Blackskin hesitated for a moment, and stood by the door waiting, not daring to enter.
"Yes, yes." There was a sound of talking from the door, and then an old couple walked out, saw the ghost Taoist, and said in amazement: "Aren't you the fortune teller Uncle Lin on the street?" How did you come to our house? You may be seated. ”
Although the house is a large family, the old couple's dress is also poor, no different from ordinary people in the neighborhood.
The ghost Taoist is set up on the street every day to tell fortunes, and this old couple often sees it, so it is very polite to know the ghost Taoist chief.
The ghost Taoist chief smiled and sat down, and said, "I just saw a cloud of black gas that fell into the backyard of your house, I'm afraid that there are unclean things that are going to harm people." So a little uneasy, let's take a look. How's it going, everyone in the family is okay? ”
"Do you see something?" The old couple of the Huang family changed color together and asked hurriedly.
The Ghost Daoist nodded and said, "That's right, I saw something and fell into your backyard." ”
"Mom, is that really that thing coming?" Old man Huang's face changed, and he shouted at the old woman: "Quick, tell the children to go out, you can't live here, you will die!" ”
The Ghost Dao Leader waved his hand, handed Old Man Huang a cigarette, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's not dark now, you should be fine." First of all, what is that thing, what kind of thing, and killing? ”
Old man Huang took the cigarette, hesitated, and said, "I can't say this either......"
"Then let's talk about the history of this house first, I'll give you a hexagram to see if it's evil or good." The Ghost Daoist said.
Old Man Huang nodded his head, looked at the roof again, and said:
"This house is not my family's ancestral house, but a landlord's family, and later the local tyrants divided the land and gave this house to several of our old and poor peasants. But not long after moving in, something strange happened, a woman was drawing water at the well, and suddenly a fire broke out in the well, and the woman was burned to death......"
"Where's the well?" The Oni Dao Chief asked.
"The well is in the back...... Later, the same thing happened, everyone said that there were ghosts here, and they all moved away. Old man Huang sighed and said, "My family is the poorest, and I have nowhere to go, so I stayed, sealed the well, and built a small house on it." More than ten years ago, my eldest granddaughter was burned to death by the well...... Everyone said there were ghosts in the well, and I didn't know what they were. ”
The ghost chief pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "This thing, it will be angry once in twelve years, calculate the time, this time it will be soon......"
"Twelve years?" Old man Huang also calculated, it was exactly twelve years since his granddaughter's death!
Mrs. Huang was very nervous and asked, "Big brother, you give us a calculation, should our family move out?" We are old, and we are not afraid of life or death, but I still have a large family! ”
The Huang family is prosperous, especially in the past few years, he has married a three-room daughter-in-law and added several grandchildren.
The current Huang family, with a total of more than a dozen people, is naturally very worried.
"If you want to move out, you must move out." The Ghost Dao Chief frowned and said, "You move out, I'll open the well and help you catch that thing, and you can come back." If Lao Huang is not afraid of death, he can stay and do me a favor. ”
"Do you have to move out?" Lao Huang asked a little difficult, and he didn't want to bother with it.
The ghost leader nodded solemnly and said, "You must move this time, otherwise...... Your whole family is in danger, and maybe none of them will be left behind. Not only do you have to move, but you also have to take all the valuables in your home with you to prevent damage. ”
Mrs. Huang is an understanding person, and said: "Old man, don't talk nonsense, do you have to watch your family fall into ruin before you are willing to move?" Even if the whole family goes to beg for food together, it's better than dying, right? ”
The ghost Taoist smiled and said, "You don't need to beg for food, as long as it takes seven or eight days, when I catch that ghost, you can come back." If the house is destroyed, I will give you money to build a new building. ”
In fact, the Ghost Daoist knew that if he started to act at one point, the Huang family's house would become a ruin. But the ghost Taoist didn't dare to explain this, otherwise, Old Man Huang might not be willing to move away. After all, this house is large and spacious, and I have lived in it for many years, and there are feelings.
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she was even more happy, and vigorously encouraged the old man to move.
Old Man Huang was a little confused and asked, "Fortune teller, but you ...... Why help me? ”
It's normal to help people for no reason, and people also suspect it.
The ghost path chief sighed and said, "To tell you the truth, I came here for this ghost. Because this thing is not only harming people here, but also doing evil in other places. Many years ago, one of my brothers was killed by this. I figured out this thing was here, so I rushed to get revenge, got it? ”
