Since Wen Po's body was discovered, there have been strange things in the local area, and during the Republic of China, there have been murders of ghosts asking for their lives.

The murder occurred in the autumn of 1920, and one night in early autumn, all the chickens, dogs, and livestock in the village disappeared, along with nine honest farmers.

In those days, having a cow and a pig in the family was a great fortune, and the disappearance of domestic animals made the local villagers anxious.

At that time, it was just in time for the warlords to recruit troops everywhere, and they were not only recruiting strong men, but also collecting military salaries everywhere, but anyone who donated money to the warlords could mix with one official and one half-job. So the people of the village thought that it was the nine farmers who stole the cattle, and after they went to the city to exchange them for money, they went to the warlord to seek official positions.

As a result, the family members and friends of these nine farmers were all affected, and some people often went to the door of their homes to smash them, threatening that if they could not hand over their livestock, they would sell their sons and daughters to make up for the villagers' shortfalls.

Later, several families got together to discuss it, and felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so they decided to leave the village at night and go to Kanto to make a living.

They did not dare to take the main road, so they planned to follow the path at the end of the village into the mountains, and then through the mountain roads, to the city.

Between the path and the mountain forest, there is a deserted village that has been abandoned for many years, and that village is where the old woman once lived.

In this deserted old village, they saw the old locust tree again.

The corpses of the nine farmers were all hanging from the treetops, and in the clearing around the locust trees, there were also the remains of a large number of livestock. The people who had planned to move from the mountain road to the city saw such a scene, and dared to go into the dark forest, and one by one they fled back to the village, and several elderly people were frightened and died that night, and the rest told the other villagers what they had seen from the deserted village.

From the discovery of Lao Wenpo's body to the outbreak of the murder, there was a gap of more than 40 years, and many local elderly people even saw the old locust tree with their own eyes, and also saw Wenpo's body being air-dried.

At that time, the old people in the village concluded that this must be the old Wenpo who turned into a ghost after her death and came back to the villagers to ask for her life.

At the suggestion of the older generation, the villagers contributed money, gathered a little money, and relied on this money to inquire about the doorway, and finally invited an old Taoist priest from Qingfeng Temple.

The villagers are lucky, the old Taoist they invited is not a charlatan, in the early years of the Republic of China, he was also a well-known figure, even if you look at the whole industry, whether it is on cultivation or on the attainment of magic, Lao Dao is a leader.

After coming to the village, Lao Dao said that there are probably no less than 100 ghosts entrenched in the village, and one of them is particularly powerful, because he was too hasty when he came, he didn't bring the magic weapon of Zhenguan, and he was afraid that he couldn't suppress all the powerful ghosts together by relying on his own cultivation alone.

Originally, Lao Dao planned to go back to Qingfeng Temple first, take the magic weapon, and then come back to suppress ghosts.

But now the villagers were not happy.

We spent money to bring you here, and you just wanted to send us away after a few casual shouts? How can there be such a cheap thing in the world! Besides, you said that you were going back to get the magic weapon, but who can know, did you leave with the money and never returned?

Lao Dao was entangled by the villagers, and happened to see a river outside the village, so he decided to use the river water to seal the ghosts first, so that as long as people who did not go into the water, they would no longer be harassed by the ghosts. When he turned around, he brought a magic weapon and performed a ritual on the riverbed, sending the ghosts in the river into the Yellow Spring.

But after returning to the Taoist temple, the old Taoist got a serious illness and died that month, and those ghosts who were sealed by him to the bottom of the river gradually faded into oblivion.

When I said this, Sun Chuansheng and I happened to come to the riverbed.

The river is two or three meters wide, but the water is very fast, and I stood near the riverbed, looking at the rushing water, and felt a wave of irritability in my heart.

Sun Chuansheng pointed to the river and said to me: "The reason why the old road wanted to seal the ghosts into the river was to follow the principle that the big kan returns to the sun and all the big rivers lead to the Yellow Spring. The water here is decanate, and the negative is very heavy, so it is easy to attract ghosts to stay near the river, but the ghosts only dare to approach the riverbed, but they dare not enter the water. The Kan hexagram in the gossip represents water, and the Kan hexagram is one of the four major yang hexagrams, water is also the outer yin and inner yang, once the ghost enters the water, it will be suppressed by the dry yang Daqi between heaven and earth, and can no longer come out. ”

I don't understand what he said!

Probably because of the puzzled expression on my face, Sun Chuansheng stopped halfway and asked me, "Can you understand what I said?" ”

I immediately shook my head.

He couldn't help frowning: "Did your father really only teach you to poke your feet and flip, and didn't pass on anything else to you?" ”

I nodded.

Sun Chuansheng stared at me for a while, scratched his chin again, and said to himself, "What does the eldest brother think?" ”

As he spoke, he skirted the river and walked toward the locust tree.

I remember when I followed him into the field, I didn't see such a river on the way, why is it now in front of me?

I followed him to the village road, and the old locust tree was less than ten meters away from us, and Sun Chuansheng took out a small glass bottle from his pocket and beckoned to me.

As soon as I walked up to him, he lifted the small glass bottle and dripped a few drops of liquid on top of my head.

I felt cold on the top of my head, and I wanted to grab it with my hands, but Sun Chuansheng waved his hand at me: "Don't touch it, it's useless if you touch it." ”

I asked him, "What did you sprinkle on my head?" ”

He shook the vial in his hand: "This is the Jin X liquid collected from the corpse Jiao, it can allow you to temporarily see things that you don't usually see." ”

After speaking, he turned his body to the direction where the locust tree was, and still said: "There are a lot of powerful ghosts in this place, I originally planned to make a formation and let the newcomers from the major sects come in and practice." But now it seems that this experience can only be canceled. ”

In fact, I have always been very curious about what the "sect" he kept mentioning meant by it, and now that he mentioned these two words, I simply said the question in my heart: "I heard you mention the word sect several times, what is the sect?" ”

Sun Chuansheng asked me, "Have you read martial arts novels?" ”

I nodded behind him: "I've seen it, but not much." ”

Sun Chuansheng put his hand in his pocket, took out a lot of scattered things from it, and said to me: "The sect in our industry is similar to the sect in martial arts novels. But in this industry, many members of the sect are related by blood, just like your old family, the disciples in the sect are all clan relatives. Okay, keep your eyes open, and what happened next, I promise you'll never forget it for the rest of your life. ”

As he spoke, he raised his right hand in the air.

I saw that he was holding a palm-sized mirror in his hand, which was not square or round, it was octagonal, and the moonlight did not shine on the mirror, but on the mirror, it reflected a faint blue halo.

What happened next was completely beyond my common sense.

First, he saw that the faint halo on the mirror suddenly became stronger, and then Sun Chuansheng's body slowly emitted a dark red light mist.

The light and mist seeped out of his body, and I could faintly feel that something was gathering in his body.

I don't know how to describe the feeling at that time, but I felt that in Sun Chuansheng's body, something seemed to contract quickly, and then spread in all directions at a very slow speed.

I couldn't see it, but I could feel it.

It's a feeling that is detached from sight, smell, touch and hearing, but it's very real.

The light mist emanating from Sun Chuansheng's body volatilized into the air, and slowly coalesced together, drifting towards the old locust tree in front of him.

In my sight, it was moving very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, it had traveled a full ten meters and touched the gummy layer on the surface of the old locust tree.

I saw that it seeped into the gum at a very fast rate and did not enter the tree, and after that, the old locust tree seemed to come alive, and the trunk and bare branches writhed wildly.

"Meditation!"

At this time, Sun Chuansheng suddenly turned his head and said these two words to me.

But before I could react to what was going on, there was an annoying noise in my ears.

At first, I heard a "snort" sound, which was like a busy sound on the radio. Soon, however, there was some muffled laughter in the noise.

As time passed, the laughter became clearer and sharper.

It seemed to be a group of young children playing and playing, but if you listen carefully, it doesn't look like laughter, but in this laughter, there is a heavy grievance.

And as the laughter became harsher, so did my mood.

Sun Chuansheng asked me to calm down, but I didn't know how to calm down in such a situation, and now I have an urge to beat people in my heart, and I can hardly hold it back.

"Ahh

There was a faint lament from the other side of the locust tree, and I immediately looked over there with wide eyes, and I saw an old lady on crutches standing under the tree, and around the tree, there was a group of children chasing each other, they looked to be two or three years old, and some of them were unsteady, but even if they stumbled, they moved very fast.

What was even more strange was that the moonlight illuminated a large area near the locust tree, but I couldn't see the children's faces clearly, and the old lady standing under the tree showed only two chapped lips.

Sun Chuansheng took something out of his jacket pocket, he turned his back to me, I couldn't see what he was holding in his left hand, but through his rapidly undulating shoulders and back, I could feel his nervousness at the moment.

Facing in the direction of the locust tree, he stood quietly in place, as if waiting for an opportunity.

Until the old locust tree stopped writhing, the old lady standing under the tree first paused, and then she flew towards Sun Chuansheng.

I read that right, she just flew with her feet off the ground, and her whole body was floating in mid-air.

At the moment when the old lady left the ground, Sun Chuansheng also moved, he threw away his left arm sharply, and shouted: "Town! Then I watched a pale yellow halo fly down his left hand.

In an instant, the halo flew in front of the old lady.

At that time, my mind was completely confused, I didn't know what was going on, but when I saw the halo in front of the old lady, her figure seemed to be scattered, quickly became transparent, and disappeared without a trace in a very short time.

And after she disappeared, the halo that flew out of Sun Chuansheng's hand went all the way north, until it reached the old locust tree, and the halo suddenly began to expand at a very fast speed, it enveloped the children who ran around the tree, and also covered the old locust tree.

In the next moment, the shadow of the old locust tree became fainter and fainter, and the children who were chasing and playing a moment ago seemed to be frozen, one by one, stopping in place and not moving.

Soon, the locust tree disappeared in front of me, and just as it disappeared, I felt a chill under my feet, and when I looked down, I realized that I was actually standing in the river.
