Li Huaishan asked him: "What does Widow Wang's man do, he can figure out such a complicated mechanism alone?" ”

Chen Dabang said: "That person's family has been a carpenter for generations, and I heard that their family may have been in your business before, but I haven't seen their craftsmanship, but the people in the village spread it mysteriously, saying that their family is a descendant of Luban, and during the Qing Dynasty, they also made furniture for the emperor, and I don't know if it's true or not." ”

I asked, "Does he have any descendants?" ”

Chen Dabang: "No, as soon as he dies, the family will be dead." ”

Li Huaishan: "When this person is alive, his family should be very rich, right?" ”

Chen Dabang: "It's just the opposite, when he was alive, his family was so poor, Feng'e followed such a person all those years, and I don't know how much suffering I suffered." By the way, I once heard people say that before he was fifteen years old, his family seemed to be quite rich, and Feng'e and his marriage were made at that time, but then he did something that damaged Yin morality, suffered retribution, and became a broken household within two years. ”

Li Huaishan and I opened our mouths almost at the same time and asked, "What did he do?" ”

Chen Dabang pondered for a moment before he said three words in an uncertain tone: "Drive the pile." ”

In the early years, most of these piles were built with heavy wood or large stones, and the piles at that time were dug in the ground, and the living people were put into it, and the people in the hole were immediately pressed into the flesh and mud when the big wood or stone was directly filled in.

After arriving in the Republic of China, some of the top piles were replaced with cement, and they also dug a hole first, stuffed people into it, and then poured cement to suffocate people inside.

It is said that only by doing this can the bridge over the water be kept alive all year round, and those who are crushed at the bottom of the bridge will become the guardian spirits of the bridge after death.

A year ago, I also asked the second master whether it was true or false to drive the raw pile, and the second master said that in the early years, such a thing did occur, and the bridge can be sacrificed without a knife, which is pure nonsense.

You must know that those who are crushed to death by the piers usually die very miserably, and there is a high chance that they will turn into ghosts and harm one party, so that the bridge that usually has been hit by the raw piles cannot stand, and it will collapse after 20 years.

I think that the reason why there was such a bad habit in the early years was because the people's customs were not civilized and the people's hearts were ignorant.

And in these evil ways of preaching and driving piles, the greatest impact on later generations is a set of ancient scrolls called "Luban Book", first of all, a little life, Luban is not a crooked heresy, Luban Book was also a good book to save the people and help the world in the early years, but in the past few years, this book has changed hands many times, and it has also been tampered with during this period.

The second master also didn't know who tampered with the Luban book, he just said that the Yu family kept two sets of rubbings of the Luban book, one from the Han Dynasty and one from the Song Dynasty.

Although the content is similar, but the things described in the two sets of rubbings are a zhongzheng, a yin and evil, the same magic, and the methods of casting on the two sets of rubbings are also different, the former requires the caster to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and use the mountain aura as the source of power for the spell, while the latter says that if you want to perform this technique, you must kill the baby and take blood, and use the baby's innate yang blood as the source of power for the spell.

The family also deduced from this that the content of the Luban Book had been tampered with in the process of being handed down.

But in any case, the Luban book is real, and from the Song Dynasty to the present, this set of ancient scrolls has always been the beginning of the dragon without seeing the end, according to reliable sources, this set of ancient scrolls is divided into three parts, one part is in the west coast of Middle Earth, one is in the East China Sea, and one is in the South Water Crossing, the ghost knows what the West Coast of Middle Earth, the East China Sea, and the South Water Crossing are, and the second master said so, and the classics of the family are also written like this.

Now listening to Chen Dabang first heard the words "Luban heirs", and then mentioned the stake, I was thinking, the West Coast of Middle Earth, will not be the Ningxia that it is talking about, if the Middle Earth refers to the ancient Central Plains, and the West Coast is the small piece of land that extends westward from the Central Plains, then it refers to this place in Ningxia.

I was immediately interested and asked Chen Dabang: "Have you heard of Lu Banshu?" ”

Chen Dabang shook his head.

I couldn't help frowning: "Your family can be regarded as an old family in the industry, haven't you heard of Lu Banshu?" ”

Chen Dabang still shook his head: "I haven't heard anyone mention it, oh, by the way, I remember that Feng'e seemed to say that that person burned a book the day before he died, and as soon as the book was burned, he arrived, and he died early the next morning, before that, that person's health had been very good, and there was no illness." ”

I immediately moved my gaze to the east house, Chen Dabang was probably afraid that I would trouble the widow Wang, and hurriedly added: "She doesn't know that person well, Feng'e said that when that person was alive, he never talked to her, and seeing her was like looking at a stranger." ”

To tell you the truth, I really didn't plan to ask the widow Wang, not because I was afraid that she would not tell the truth, but because I was afraid that when I saw her, if one of them didn't hold back, I would strangle her to death with my own hands.

I pondered for a moment, and then asked Chen Dabang, "Why did the people from the Funeral Sect appear here?" ”

Chen Dabang took a moment to digest my words, then scratched his head and said, "You mean the people who came by car, I don't know how they found this place, anyway, they came the first time I pulled people in from outside." Later, when I went to the city to pull people, they would send someone there to wait for me, take me to the station, and tell me who to pull. ”

I immediately understood what he meant: "You're saying that it was the people from the Burial Cult who helped you choose your target, and you were only responsible for getting people back, right?" ”

Chen Dabang: "Let's just say that, they not only help me choose people, but also help me get people back, these people and you should be all the way, they don't know what kind of means are used, as long as they go to others and say 'follow me' to others, they will follow them, as if they are hypnotized." ”

As soon as Chen Dabang finished speaking, the voice of Widow Wang came from the east room, and she said a lot at once, but because of the heavy accent, I couldn't hear anything else clearly except for the word "Da Chen".

I frowned and raised my chin towards the East House, "What did she say?" ”

From just now, Chen Dabang looked like he was in a hurry to leave, and when he heard me ask, he said at a very fast speed: "Feng'e woke up, she was scared in the house alone, and called me in, you see ......"

At present, there is nothing to do here in the fort, and it is not interesting for me to stay any longer, so I said to Chen Dabang: "Before I come back, you and the widow Wang should not leave the fort, for the two of you, this once haunted old fort is the safest place." Is there anything to eat in the fort? ”

Chen Dabang: "Yes, yes, when will you come back?" ”

I looked at the moon in the sky and said, "Two days later." ”

Chen Dabang nodded: "Enough to eat." ”

Then I said to him, "If you want to save the life of the widow, you must go out of the earthen wall at about half past eleven noon to-morrow, dig out the sacks containing the bones, and go up the slope of the dead man at about four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and dig ten earth pits in the north-south direction, and put the ten sets of remains in them." Remember, when filling in the soil, your forehead must be facing west, and never look back towards the fort. ”

Chen Dabang: "What do you mean, let me dig a yin grave for those ten people?" ”

I nodded: "You can do this by yourself, and the widow will let her stay in the castle." ”

Chen Dabang looked a little worried: "During the time I left the fort, Feng'e won't have an accident, right?" ”

I thought for a moment and shook my head: "I can't guarantee this, but if you don't dig up those ten graves, the widow won't live the night after tomorrow." Oh, by the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you, isn't there anyone else here at the fort? ”

Chen Dabang nodded: "No one came, I heard that in the early years, this place was haunted, and people from all over the country knew that they would not come easily." ”

At this moment, the cry of the widow Wang came from the east room again, and I frowned a little impatiently, and then beckoned to Li Huaishan and pulled him away.

As soon as we turned around, there was a long sound of "squeak-" from behind us.

After leaving the fort, we walked all the way down the loess slope, and when we walked farther, Li Huaishan suddenly said: "People with ability are different, huh?" ”

I looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Li Huaishan grinned at me: "When we first met, that Chen Dabang was still five or six, and he didn't take us seriously, but now I know that you are a capable person, and you look at his respectful appearance, as if he is a different person." ”

I took out a cigarette from my pocket, took out a lighter and lit it, and only after a long breath of smoke did I say to Li Huaishan: "He is respectful to me, not because I have the ability, but because he has a request for me." ”

Li Huaishan pondered for a moment, and then asked me: "Looking at those things you got today, I feel quite mysterious, are these all recorded in the ancient books of the family?" ”

He may not have thought of the wording, but he said it a bit of a donkey's mouth, but fortunately, I could probably understand what he meant, so I nodded at him: "The Soul Formation and the digging of the Yin Grave, these things I have seen from ancient books." ”

Li Huaishan nodded, then raised his eyes and looked at me not far away.

I was furious by him: "Why do you look at me like this, weird." ”

Li Huaishan pouted: "I don't know why, I suddenly feel that you seem to have become mature all of a sudden, no, it's not mature, it should be said that you seem to have become aware of everything all of a sudden." But you were a rookie the other day. ”

I smiled helplessly: "Don't make a fuss, if I really know everything, that's fine." Hey, let's put it this way, in fact, if you can calm your mind, you can probably see a lot of things that you can't see clearly, but your mind is not quiet enough. When the third master taught me the technique, he first taught me meditation, but now that I think about it, meditation is really beneficial if I practice it well. ”

Li Huaishan sighed: "You have calmed down, but as soon as I encounter something I don't understand, my heart suddenly beats the drum, let alone calm down, it's okay if the little heart doesn't jump out of my throat." ”
