The village we went to was not close to the provincial capital, and it was not until late afternoon that Zhou Zhiguo told me.

The place where I parked my car was a ditch at the foot of a barren mountain, and there was no human population on all sides, and I couldn't even see the dilapidated old wooden house I imagined.

I also asked at the time, didn't you say that you want to enter the village? Why did you stop the car at the foot of the mountain?

Zhou Zhiguo seemed to know more about this work, and when he heard my question, he explained, saying that it was not safe on the mountain, and it was better to wait until the sun came out tomorrow before going up the mountain.

"Holy shit!" As soon as the old man got out of the car, he scolded, and kept swatting the mosquitoes flying around: "There can be mosquitoes in this weather!" What a rush! ”

Scolding, the old man lit a cigarette and beckoned to me: "Go!" Accompany Lao Tzu to the toilet! ”

When I heard this, I realized that the old man might have something to say to me, so I agreed without much thought.

When I followed the old man into the grove, he asked me, "What did those juniors say in the car?" ”

"Are you curious?" I asked with a smile.

"It's not." The old man frowned and said, "It's one thing for us to work on our own, and it's another thing to have the people above with us." ”

I nodded, turned my face quietly, glanced back, and made sure that no one was coming, so I said to the old man: "They said that there are many places where you need help, and they also said that they should preserve the flesh of the five blessings as much as possible......."

"Sure enough, this money is not easy to make." The old man grinned and smiled ugly: "It's good that we can do the five blessings, and we still want to preserve their bodies as much as possible?" ”

"Master, didn't you deal with the Five Blessings at the beginning?" I cautiously asked, "Is it difficult to clean them up and leave the bodies behind?" ”

"Difficult." The old man said very directly: "If you want to do the Five Blessings, you must first disperse their souls, and after that, the Five Elements Qi in the body of the Five Blessings will be dispersed, and they will directly turn into a small gray .........."

"Little Ash?" I couldn't help but laugh, my shoulders shaking.

"Dog's day! That's what it means! The old man slapped me on the neck, and said impatiently: "Anyway, it's impossible to preserve their bodies, and we can't help them." ”

When he said this, the old man put on his pants and smiled: "But this incident reminds me, as long as we are careful, we can also get some benefits from the five blessings." ”

"What's the benefit?" I asked hurriedly.

"Don't think about the flesh of the five blessings, you can't keep it, you can't keep it, you can't keep it, so many years of filth have been pressed in it, and keeping it is bad for our own luck." The old man smiled and said, "The benefits I said are all in the coffin of suppressing them." ”

I listened with great interest and didn't dare to interject.

"The coffins that suppressed the five blessings were nailed with eight coffin nails in each mouth, and five coffins plus one piece, there were forty." The old man rubbed his palms, looking extremely excited: "In other people's hands, these coffin nails can be used to drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits, but in our hands, they .........."

"It can also be used to exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits?" I asked tentatively.

The old man didn't speak, slapped him again, and said angrily: "Suppress evil fart!" This can be used to harm people! ”

"Harmful?" I looked at the old man in confusion: "Why do you hurt people?" ”

"These coffin nails are not ordinary, they are all made of standard thunder split mahogany, and in each coffin nail, there is also a gold thread buried, and both ends are blocked with white jade, and the upper and lower carvings are all five blessing spells......

"After absorbing the Five Elements Qi for so many years, and also contaminated with a lot of the Five Blessings passed on to the living, these coffin nails can already be called magic weapons." The old man smiled: "It is used as an eye for the array, and it can be said that it is invincible, and as long as we use it correctly, these coffin nails can also destroy the fortune of the other party's family, that is, the standard killing without seeing blood........"

"What's the use?" I asked curiously.

"There are many ways to use it, and the common one is to cut off the qi pulse." The old man smiled: "Anyway, you can't understand what you say too much, it's all on paper, I'll show you a demonstration when I have the opportunity, and then I'll teach you slowly." ”

I nodded as if I didn't understand, didn't ask any more questions, and walked back with the old man.

On the way, I suddenly remembered the figure I saw that night, and I couldn't help but ask: "Master, when you negotiated with Wang Shenghai that day, the eighteen figures that appeared on the ground should be the eighteen evil sons, right?" ”

The old man snorted and said, yes.

"Is the Eighteen Fallen Evil Sons a Wrong?" I asked cautiously.

"It's not." The old man shook his head: "Although they look similar to injustice, if you look at them in detail, they can only be regarded as a special magic weapon. ”

As soon as the words fell, the old man suddenly stopped and looked back at me.

At that time, the old man's eyes were very complicated, and he suddenly asked me: "Do you know how these evil people are refined?" ”

"How?" I asked.

"Without affecting the essence of the soul, take out a part of the three souls and seven souls of the deceased, and then add the only remaining vitality in the body of the deceased, and use the secret method to refine the seven seven forty-nine days........" The old man smiled: "The most difficult thing in this is to take out the soul part, only our Shen family can take the soul without hurting the soul, and take the soul without damaging the soul........"

Speaking of this, the old man snorted coldly, and his expression became ugly.

"The Shen family's method of refining the evil son has been spread, but this piece of soul extraction has not been spread, if you don't follow the Shen family's method to take the soul, you must take one and scatter the other." The old man said: "Those who have refined the evil son will only use it, but they will not accumulate virtue, and I don't know how many people's souls have been ruined before they are refined!" ”

"Our Shen family....... Is it also refined with someone else's soul? I asked tentatively.

The old man shook his head and said, No, even if our method of taking souls is unique and will not cause any damage to souls, then it is impossible to refine other people's souls.

"That's ........"

"Eighteen fallen evil sons were all taken from the ancestors of our Shen family." The old man said very calmly, and the smile on his face was quite proud, or rather, a sense of honor.

According to the old man, every generation of the head of the Shen family has to contribute his soul after death, so that the younger disciples can take out a part of it, and then he can be reincarnated.

"A person's soul can only refine a villain, have you seen that thing? It's the same as a piece of meat! The old man smiled bitterly: "Some are big and some are small, these are all uncertain, the biggest piece is refined by my grandfather, and he uses his father's soul to ........."

When I heard this, I couldn't help but shudder and didn't dare to speak.

"If I die one day, don't forget to take out my soul." The old man said, winking at me: "In your generation, you only have seventeen evil sons, and when I die, you should be able to collect eighteen." ”

"Collect eighteen prizes?" I said angrily, frowning: "Master, can we not say such things?" Listen to the panic! ”

The old man smiled and didn't speak, turned around, and continued to walk with me.

"The reason why the Shen family's subjugation technique is so powerful is because of the existence of these evil people."

"If the descending technique harms people, whether it is harming good people or bad people, then you have to lose your life, but our Shen family's descending master can transfer this kind of heavenly punishment to the evil son."

"In God's eyes, it is the evil son who harms people, and it has nothing to do with us, so no matter how many people we hurt, we will not be punished by the slightest........."

"Have you ever killed someone?" I suppressed my voice and asked.

The old man shrugged his shoulders and did not speak.

"Is that really good?" I asked again, my expression complicated: "Whether it's a good person or a bad person, it's a human life.......

"People in the industry say that the Shen family's art is evil and poisonous." The old man said without looking back: "But I can tell you that the Shen family's technique is indeed evil enough, but people ........ It's really not bad enough to be that good. ”

The old man said, snuffing out the cigarette butt, throwing it on the ground, and stepping on it gently.

"There are dozens of generations of the Shen family, and there are many good and evil, but there has really never been a single miscellaneous." The old man said with a smile: "The ancestor said that being a man can be bad or poisonous, but you must not lose your conscience!" ”

I thought thoughtfully, but didn't speak.

"A clear conscience is always the case."

The old man turned around and looked at me.

"To cultivate the Tao, you must first have a righteous heart."
