I only said half of it, and the full version of the sentence should be: "I can only do my best to guarantee that she will not die in the near future." As for whether I can keep her in the end, I don't dare to pack the ticket myself.

Chen stared into my eyes and was silent for a long time, but finally nodded.

He first put the widow back into the house, and then found a sack from a dilapidated house, and then got out of the castle in a hurry.

Widow Wang couldn't wake up for a while, she slept soundly, and I didn't plan to disturb her, after Chen Dabang left, I took Li Huaishan to the wall.

Standing on the wall of the fort, I took a serious look at the feng shui in this area for the first time.

To tell the truth, although this place is barren, but the feng shui is still good, east, west, north, three high slopes, forming a shape similar to the Taishi chair, the whole village sits in the north and faces south, faintly a little bit of royal spirit, if the ancestral grave is buried on the loess slope where the village is located, the descendants may be able to have the great luck of Longdeng Ninety-Five.

Of course, my attainments in feng shui are very shallow, and what I say is not necessarily accurate, but one thing is certain, the loess slope where the village is located will be auspicious.

However, the villagers did not build a grave on the north slope, but placed the graves of their ancestors on the long slope to the west.

The wind was blowing, and the sand and dust on the wall were a little big, so I bent down and squatted under the wall to avoid the wind and sand, and Li Huaishan also came to my side and handed me a cigarette.

I took the cigarette and just lit it, when I heard Li Huaishan say, "What's the matter with you?" ”

I didn't realize what he meant for a while, so I looked at me with a puzzled expression: "What's going on, what do you mean?" ”

Li Huaishan frowned and said, "Do you know everything?" What's in that crack in the wall? ”

I leaned my head against the wall buttress and exhaled a long line of smoke: "There's an altar inside." ”

Li Huaishan: "Altar, what kind of altar?" ”

"Ergou, do you remember those karmic stones in Widow Wang's house?"

"Remember, we have only been here from Widow Wang's house not long ago, how could I have forgotten it."

"Do you know where those karmic stones came from?"

Li Huaishan shook his head at first, but he reacted quickly, and then understood what I meant: "The stone that came out of the ground just now seems to be a karmic stone, right?" ”

I nodded, and Li Huaishan continued: "Oh, I understand, the darkroom in the crack of the wall is an exchange in the underworld." The king's widow borrowed something from the devil there, and every time she borrowed something, she took an IOU from the house. ”

I couldn't help but smile: "You're not wrong to understand that. ”

Li Huaishan asked me again: "You also borrowed something from ghosts?" Why did you go in and get a karmic stone out of the ground? ”

I said, "Because my knee touches the ground, it's like kneeling down on the altar, and whether I pray or not, the debt is already in debt." ”

Li Huaishan: "Oh, that's it. But how do you know that Chen Dabang is also in debt? ”

"When did I say that Chen Dabang is in debt?" I looked at Li Huaishan in wonder and said, "He doesn't owe any debt." ”

Li Huaishan's expression was also puzzled: "But didn't you say that Chen Dabang and Widow Wang have a share, hey, there is another matter, how do you know that there have been people dying in this place?" ”

I took two puffs of smoke and explained to him: "I said that both of them have a share, not that Chen Dabang also owes debts, I mean, if it weren't for Chen Dabang, Widow Wang would not have known that there was such an altar in the fort, if it weren't for Chen Dabang, Widow Wang wouldn't have survived now, and the girls who were deceived by him from other places would not have died, or rather, if it weren't for Widow Wang's debts, Chen Dabang wouldn't have to go to other places to abduct women." ”

Li Huaishan blinked: "Why do I get more confused the more I listen?" ”

I said: "Chen Dabang and Chen Laohan are both surnamed Chen, and Chen Dafa, who died ten years ago, is also surnamed Chen. ”

Li Huaishan scratched his head: "This is nothing unusual, it should be common to have the same surname in the same village." ”

"But Chen Laohan's lineage moved from other places, and they were not locals in the first place."

"So what, maybe the locals are also dominated by the Chen family."

"Have you noticed, at first the two of us also met some old people when we were wandering around the village, almost every old man wore a white hat on his head, but Chen Laohan and Chen Dabang had nothing on the top of their heads, in addition, I had witnessed Chen Dabang stepping on a set of footwork in the courtyard of the fort, he seemed to be planning to cast a spell or set up a formation, but he only learned the footwork of walking, but he had no telekinesis on his body, and of course he failed to successfully perform the technique."

Li Huaishan asked quite a lot: "What is the hat?" When did you see Chen Dabang casting a spell? ”

"The hat is a common worship hat of the Hui people, if you think about the full name of Ningxia, you can figure out a lot of things?"

It's a pity that Li Huaishan's geography failed, and when he heard me say this, he frowned again: "What is the full name of Ningxia?" ”

I rolled my eyes in my heart and said helplessly: "Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region." ”

Li Huaishan immediately made a sudden expression.

I asked him again, "Have you ever seen Mu Slin draw the Chenzhou talisman?" ”

We usually say that the spirit rune, in general, is a special Chenzhou rune, this kind of rune culture only belongs to the witch, Tao two veins, other religious sects have no relevant inheritance, and the rune paper made by Shantang is precisely the rune paper used to draw Chenzhou runes.

Li Huaishan finally understood what I meant: "You mean, Chen Dabang and Chen Laohan are a family?" ”

Of course, they are a family, what kind of people only know the steps of performing spells, but they have never had the experience of cultivation, and they can't even condense the slightest mental power in their bodies, there are two answers.

The first answer is,This person is a lover of magic who has not entered the mountain gate,To be honest,This answer does not seem to be very reliable,But such a person does exist,In the near future,I will meet a similar person,That's a later story.。

The second answer is that the person in front of him is a descendant of a declining gatekeeper, due to the fault line of family inheritance, there are only some remnants of magic that can be passed on to him, but no one can teach him the method of cultivation by hand.

I'm pretty much sure that Chen Dabang falls into the latter category.

At this time, Li Huaishan began to ask again: "The Chen Dafa who died tragically ten years ago is also a member of Shantang?" ”

I nodded, "Well, I think so." Think about it, ten years ago, why did the ancestors of rhubarb live for twenty years? ”

Li Huaishan sighed: "I said, big brother, can you stop asking me questions, I can't answer what you ask at all." ”

I ignored him, and continued: "From the first generation of spirit cows to the present, the bloodline has been passed down from generation to generation, and the spiritual charm contained in the blood of the cow has long faded, and it can no longer suppress so many ghosts. God is very fair, the cow can't suppress the ghost, it will return the longevity to the cow, so when the cow has lived for twenty years, there will be ghosts who leave the cow and go to the village to claim debts. ”

Li Huaishan: "Why can't the cow suppress the ghost, God will return Shouyuan to the cow, what do you mean?" ”

I could only interrupt my train of thought and explain to him first: "At the earliest, the spirit cow sacrificed to the sky with yang longevity, in order to borrow yang energy from heaven and earth, and suppress ghosts with essence yang, this is a contract, the spirit cow paid a part of its life, and heaven and earth gave it a pure yang energy that can suppress ghosts, but when this yang energy cannot completely suppress ghosts, God will return a part of Shouyuan to the spirit cow." The spirit ox is dead, and the contract will continue on its offspring. ”

Li Huaishan's brows furrowed tightly: "Listen to what you mean, when the cow has not lived for twenty years, the ghost thing pressing on its body should leave the cow's body, why do you have to wait until twenty years later to come out, this is a bit unreasonable." ”

I smiled: "Take rhubarb as an example, when it was born, the aura on the previous generation was transferred to him, including most of the ghost things were also transferred to its body, and the stronger the aura passed to it with the bloodline, the more ghost things pressed on it." If the first generation of spirit cows can suppress ten powerful ghosts, and when it reaches Rhubarb, it may only be able to suppress nine. So when Rhubarb was born, nine ghosts pressed on it, and the remaining one remained in its ancestors, and with the death of the ancestors, this ghost will lose its restraints. ”

Li Huaishan pursed his lips: "Ah...... Then I get it in general. You mean it's because Rhubarb's aura isn't strong enough to suppress all the ghosts, so its father, or mother, only lived past the age of twenty, right? But what about rhubarb, looking at its current appearance, it should have died in a few days, and when it died, it should not be less than twenty years old, right? Since God wants to return the Shouyuan that was taken away, why did it suddenly become old after seeing you, I feel as if as soon as you appear, it knows that it is about to die. ”

I nodded: "Because we are here, the contract that the first generation of Lingniu exchanged for Shouyuan can still play a role, but if we don't come, Rhubarb will definitely live for twenty years, but it has no heirs, and once the twenty years pass, the village must be rampant with ghosts." ”

Li Huaishan stared at me with a frown, with a complicated expression on his face.

I said to him, "We can come here, in a sense, it is a matter of destiny, maybe we are part of that contract." ”

Li Huaishan's brows furrowed even tighter, and his expression became more confused.

I smiled at him again: "That's fate." ”

Li Huaishan was silent for a while, and then pouted vigorously: "Okay, whatever you say is what you say." But I still can't figure out what kind of role Chen Dabang played in this matter. ”
