Chapter 042: Tangkou Immortal
"When we came in that day, the female ghost in the yard took the man and child she killed as her husband and child." I was shocked.
Zhang Heng walked to the wall and said, "It seems that the reason why she harmed people was to get together a family of three." ”
I walked around the room, and I didn't find a single dummy, and I was a little disappointed, it seems that those dummies have been taken away by the people of the sixth master.
"You open more, I'll ask the immortal family to come out and have a look." Zhang Heng said to me.
I answered and retreated to the window.
Zhang Heng knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times to the wall, and then began to talk to himself, and he spoke in a very strange tone, which I couldn't understand.
He spoke for a while, paused for a moment, and then began to speak again, as if he were talking to someone.
I took a few steps to the door, looked at him from the side, and couldn't help but widen his eyes, he rolled his eyes, his face turned red, and if he wasn't breathing normally, I would have thought someone was choking his neck.
He spoke for a while, then suddenly turned to look at me, and the rolled of his eyes had returned to normal.
"Brother Zhang?" I said tentatively.
He smiled at me, with a vicissitudes in his eyes that didn't belong to him, "I didn't expect the sixth master to let you follow us." ”
This voice is the breeze and the yin immortal.
I was busy standing up straight and said respectfully, "The fairy family is good, I also know." ”
I met a lot of people with Uncle Niu, but only the sixth master he respected in his heart, and the only thing he really feared was this Qingfeng Yin Immortal.
"Don't be so restrained, now you are half of Zhang Heng's disciple, and you can be regarded as a person from our hall." He stood up and walked to the skeleton on the wall, "Someone bullied me in the future, tell Zhang Heng, there is an evil thing bullying you, tell me." ”
I thanked him again and again, and I was shocked in my heart that he turned out to be a cousin.
I heard my dad say that Tangkou immortals are very powerful, in addition to being able to drive their own disciples, they can also take the destined lonely souls or spirits for their own use, in other words, they are so powerful that they can accept the younger brother.
However, there is also a distinction between walking and sitting, sitting in the hall is to see things at home, and walking in the hall needs to run around.
Looking at Zhang Heng's situation, the Qingfeng Yin Immortal he offered should be a walking immortal.
With a big red face, he squatted in front of the wall for a long time, and suddenly pressed on the skull of the woman's skeleton, and shouted, "Don't get out yet." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely faint black qi floated out of the skeleton.
Qingfeng Yin Immortal directly reached out and pinched the black qi, "Where did it come from?" ”
"Hongshi Village." A weak man's voice rang out in the room.
I was startled, looked around, but didn't see the man, and finally my eyes stopped on the black gas in his hand, where did the sound come from?
"Name." Qingfeng Yin Immortal asked.
The black gas became fainter and fainter, and only the voice was left: "Hong Daming." ”
When the words fell, the black gas disappeared.
Qingfeng Yin Immortal stood up, frowned and looked at the three skeletons, suddenly his hands and feet twitched, he raised his head and fell straight to the ground, I sighed, and hurriedly rushed over to catch him,
This is a concrete floor, if Zhang Heng falls on the ground, he will definitely see blood.
"Immortals?" I called him.
"Ahem...... cough violently" Zhang Heng suddenly coughed violently, I patted him on the back, and inadvertently saw his life palace, and my heart lifted.
His life palace is sunken, and the roots of the mountain have miscellaneous lines, which is the face of a short life.
And I don't know if it's my delusion, just a moment after we entered the house, the lines of his mountain roots seemed to be deeper.
At first, the cough was normal, but when I didn't cough verbally, I was so sick that I carefully put his head on the ground and ran to the window to catch my breath.
He coughed for a long time before he opened his eyes and sat up with his chest clutched.
"Are you Brother Zhang?" I asked.
He nodded and said weakly, "When I slow down, we'll go to Hongshi Village." ”
"Okay." I hesitated for a long time, but I still couldn't suppress the curiosity in my heart, and asked him, "Brother Zhang, why did you do that just now?" ”
He raised his hand and rubbed his face up and down, and said, "That's the reaction of the immortal family after leaving behind him, and the longer the immortal family is on his body, the more uncomfortable it becomes." ”
He paused, and said with a wry smile: "I have a shallow relationship with the immortal family, and the upper body of the immortal family will not only consume the body but also affect the lifespan, and I will not invite the immortal family out until it is critical." ”
Hearing him say that, I finally understood why I looked at him with a short-lived face.
"Brother Zhang, since you know that it will affect your lifespan, why do you still want to be a disciple?" I asked, puzzled.
He stood up, sighed, and said, "This is my life." ”
After saying this, he patted the soil on his hand and walked out, "You follow me to Hongshi Village, and I will ask Du Lei to take away these three skeletons." ”
Only then did I remember to get down to business, and I was thinking about the Qingfeng Yin Immortal just now.
"Brother Zhang, how did the Immortal Family ask about Hongshi Village?" I asked, puzzled.
He explained: "In addition to detaining the soul of the child and the man, the woman who was killed by Brother Niu also pressed the soul of another person, and it was hidden very hidden, we couldn't find it, the fairy family is also a soul, he can detect it." ”
So that's the case, and it dawned on me.
But after thinking about it, the one asked by the immortal family was from Hong Daming of Hongshi Village, how could it be Hongshi Village?
Last time, I found the dojo of Shou in the backyard of Zhang Wang's house in Hongshi Village, and then I found the clue to the Seven Troubles River, and now the immortal family asked about this place again, which made me feel like something was going back to the original point.
On the way to Hongshi Village, I told Zhang Heng about Zhang Wang.
He said: "According to what you said, Zhang Wang is a second-rate fake Taoist priest at all, so there must be someone behind him to guide him." ”
"I think the same thing, but Zhang Wang is dead." I said worriedly.
Zhang Heng glanced at me, shook his head and said: "He is dead, but the four brothers you said are still alive, the girl they bought went crazy when she went to the backyard of Zhang Wang's house, and died on the back wall of Zhang Wang's house a few months later, don't you think there is a problem in this?" ”
I was stunned, "What's the problem?" ”
Zhang Wang built such a scary dojo in his backyard, and the girl accidentally broke in and was scared crazy, which is no problem.
"Priority." He emphasized: "We need to find out whether the girl set up the dojo before she entered Zhang Wang's house, or whether he set up the dojo after the girl went." ”
I blinked, dazed by him.
He smiled helplessly, "Forget it, let's talk about finding Hong Daming." ”
I was very depressed, I thought all the way, and when I arrived at the entrance of Hongshi Village, I suddenly figured it out.
"Uncle Zhang, are you saying that there is something wrong with the girl that the four brothers bought." I said it out loud.
He was taken aback by me, "You kid is shocked. ”
I grabbed his arm and said excitedly: "That girl didn't cry or make trouble after she was bought, but she ran away three months later but crashed into the backyard of Zhang Wang's house. ”
Zhang Heng smiled and beckoned me to get out of the car.
I led Zhang Heng to Aunt Osmanthus's house again, and when I heard that I still asked her about Zhang Wang's family, Aunt Osmanthus disagreed and persuaded me: "Congcong, you don't care about this." ”
I smiled and said, "Auntie, I'm doing a friend a favor." ”
She sighed, pulled me and Zhang Heng into the house, and said, "Those four brothers moved back two days ago, they look like they made a fortune outside, and they are looking for someone to renovate the house today. ”
Zhang Heng asked, "Sister-in-law, what are the names of the four brothers?" ”
Aunt Osmanthus pouted and said, "The eldest is called Hong Daming, and the second is called Hong Erming, so it's lined up." ”
I was shocked, I glanced at Zhang Heng, he took out a cigarette and walked out, I knew that he was going to find Hong Daming, said a few words to Aunt Osmanthus, and hurriedly followed.
Zhang Heng and I walked around the village, and the family in the west of the village was repairing a house.
It would be just in time for lunch, and the workers were not there, Zhang Heng walked into the yard and asked, "Is Hong Daming at home?" ”
The curtain opened, and a tall man with a shaved head walked out, frowning and asking, "What are you looking for my brother for?" ”
This man had a pair of snake eyes, bulging outward, red eyes, and fierce eyes, and he was a vicious man; Further down is the crucian carp nose, with a small nose with low roots, no financial luck, a fire mouth, and is doomed to poverty all his life.
I dragged Zhang Heng and said to him: "This person has a fierce face, it's not easy to mess with, let's stop calling a few people over?" ”
He patted my hand, "Don't worry. ”
After speaking, he took two steps forward, "Of course there is something, let Hong Daming come out to see me." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, two more people came out, the three of them looked similar, their faces were almost the same, and the man on the far left had a deep wife and concubine palace, short and thick eyebrows, and miscellaneous gas in the brother's palace.
The three of them stepped forward and blocked in front of Zhang Heng, and the man in the middle sneered and said, "Looking for trouble?" You don't look at who we are. ”
These three people are a head taller than Zhang Heng, and their bodies are also stronger than him.
Seeing that the situation was not good, I picked up a brick from the ground and helped it when the time came.
Zhang Heng snorted coldly, raised his legs and walked into the house, the three of them looked at each other, and the person in the middle spat and cursed, and punched him.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat, such a big fist can knock a person to lie down at once.
Zhang Heng's face did not show any panic, and while avoiding it sideways, he kicked on the man's leg, only to hear a click, the man's right calf directly bulged out, screamed, and sat on the ground.
The other two were anxious and wanted to rush forward, Zhang Heng said lightly: "You also want to break your legs?" ”
Zhang Heng's exposed hand, I can come out that he is a practitioner, not to mention the brothers of the Hong family, the three of them made eye contact for a moment, and finally the person who was kicked and broke his leg endured and asked: "What are you looking for my eldest brother?" ”
Zhang Heng walked directly past them and walked into the house, "Naturally, there is something." ”
I clutched the bricks and followed.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a man sitting on the bed in the back room, different from the three brothers, he was pale-skinned, emaciated, and staring blankly ahead.
Could this be Hong Daming?
Seeing us come in, the three brothers of the Hong family also arrived at the door, and the person with the broken leg said angrily: "It's useless for you to look for my eldest brother, he has been stupid for several years." ”
At first glance, I was quite surprised, but when I thought about it, he had a soul trapped in the Sun family's compound, his soul was damaged, and it was normal for people to be stupid.
Zhang Heng sat on the only decent chair in the room, beckoned to the three brothers, and said, "Come into the house." ”
The three of them hesitated before entering the house, and their previous ferocity and arrogance were kicked away by Zhang Heng.
"Since Hong Daming is stupid, then I'll ask you." Zhang Heng said: "Do you know the Sun family's compound? ”
The three brothers were shocked, looking at Zhang Heng vigilantly, and one of them even put his hand in his pocket.
Zhang Heng didn't seem to see their abnormality, and said with a smile: "The sixth master bought the Sun family's compound some time ago, but three corpses were dug up from the west house wall, and Hong Daming's soul was found in that corpse, the sixth master is very interested in this matter, so let me take a look." “
Speaking of the sixth master, the three brothers of the Hong family suddenly turned pale.
I understand, the Hong brothers are also people on the road that Uncle Niu said.
"Now tell me, what the hell is going on?" Zhang Heng said.
The man with the broken leg sat on the ground with his arm on the door, silent, I looked at the other two people, and whispered to Zhang Heng: "The one on the right side has a roll of eyes, and you can see on his face that he is not compatible with his brother, you ask him." ”
Zhang Heng nodded, walked up to the man, and pinched his right shoulder: "You come on." ”
Zhang Heng's hand tightened, and the man suddenly snorted, and his right arm trembled.
"What are you doing? Even the sixth master can't ...... Yes! The man with the broken leg said angrily, but unfortunately before he finished speaking, Zhang Heng kicked him in the left calf.
There was another click, and the man screamed again and again, inhaling the cold air.
I swallowed my saliva, thinking that this Zhang Heng was so ruthless that I kicked off two of his legs with two kicks.
"I said, I said, ......" The person who was pinched by Zhang Heng's shoulder said, "It was that woman who forced us to do it." ”
Zhang Heng let go of him and sat back in his chair.
The man squatted on the ground with his shoulders covered, and said: "My name is Hong Siming, that woman was bought back by me, no, no, not to buy, she wants to follow us back, our four brothers are poor, and we can't marry a daughter-in-law, looking at the other village There are people who buy daughters-in-law, it just so happens that I know the person who pulls the string, and the four of us scrape together 10,000 yuan, and I follow the person who pulls the string out to buy one back." ”
"As soon as I arrived in the city with the matchmaker, the matchmaker died in a car accident, and when I didn't know what to do, the woman came to me and said that as long as I took her back to the village, she would give me 100,000 yuan, and she gave me 50,000 yuan on the spot.
Hong Siming rubbed his shoulders and said, "The first three months of her coming were quite normal, eating and sleeping every day, and then on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she told us that she went to Zhang Wang's house and asked us to go to her the next day." ”
It turned out that the girl herself was coming.
"When you found her the next day, she went crazy?" I asked with a frown.
Hong Siming shook his head and said: "No, she is pretending, she is very happy when she comes back, touching her belly every day and saying that she is going to have a baby, I thought she was joking at first, who knew that her belly would really bulge after three months." ”
The time is the same as what Aunt Osmanthus said.
"Then why did she die in the backyard of Zhang Wang's house in the end?" I asked, puzzled.
Hong Siming glanced into the house and said: "The day before she was killed, my eldest brother was drunk and couldn't help sleeping with her, and she didn't restrain herself at that time, she had a miscarriage, and the next morning she crashed into the back wall of Zhang's house. ”
When he said this, the other two brothers of the Hong family were also full of gloom.
"As soon as she died, we thought about the end of the matter, who knew that of course she would come back again," Hong Siming's hand kept shaking, "She walked from the courtyard gate to the door of the house, and took a step to drop a layer of soil, and when I entered the house, I saw that she was a dirt body, she asked us to send her body to the Sun family compound, and asked us to find the corpse of a man and a child to form a family of three with her." ”
"We didn't agree, she made my eldest brother a fool on the spot, and we were afraid to do the same, so we did what she said." He said.
"So you got the three bones in the wall of the Sun family's compound?" Zhang Heng asked.
Hong Siming nodded hurriedly, "Yes." ”
Zhang Heng hummed, stood up and said, "Do you know where she came from?" ”
"I don't know, but she often asked our three brothers to go to Miaokeng Village, Henan County, to pull mud people back, and she said that as long as she killed someone, she would find her children in a daze." Hong Siming said.
Hong Siming was silent for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "She knows Zhang Wang, and she taught Zhang Wang all the things in Zhang Wang's backyard, and Zhang Wang earned a lot of money according to what she said during that time. ”
I was shocked in my heart, Zhang Wang arranged the longevity dojo was taught by her, which means that she also told Zhang Wang the eight characters and origin of Liu Qing's birth date at that time.
Liu Qing came from the bank of the Nanhe River, one year younger than my mother, but was born on the same day and month, I pinched the brick in my hand violently, and there was a guess in my heart, will Liu Qing have anything to do with my mother?
The woman left the information that Liu Qing was out of the bank of the Nanhe River in the backyard of Zhang Wang's house in order to force me to leave the county and go to the Qiyan River, so the matter of someone maliciously destroying the Wuyue Array before was also related to her?
"What else did she make you do?" I snapped.
Hong Siming looked up at me, his face full of emptiness, "You should have thought of it, she asked us to find someone to hide a yin object in the store, so I found your fourth aunt and threatened her to kill her grandson if she didn't go, and the big pit on the ground in the store was also smashed out by us." ”
When he said this, I understood that the person who kept forcing me out was the woman!
She wanted to kill me, but I was protected by the Wuyue Array in the store, and the dummies couldn't come in, so she tried her best to destroy the Wuyue Array.
As for forcing me to go to the Seven Tribulations, on the one hand, she can do it on the road, and on the other hand, I may die in the Seven Tribulations.
No wonder there are four words written on her wall: "Kill Yuan Congcong".
And the one who instructed her to do so was probably the one who promised her child.
"Actually, someone else will tell her about all this." Hong Siming said.
I exhaled cloudy air, and finally had a clue in my head.
If it is really like Hong Siming said, a woman is willing to be used to kill me because she wants a child, and these information are all what the person told her, and the person behind her also knows the Seven Tribulation River, and even knows the seven faces inside.
Therefore, the source of everything is still the Seven Rivers of Tribulation, or the Seven Faces.
Zhang Heng stood up, looked at the roof, and said, "I don't want others to know today's words. ”
Hong Siming nodded hurriedly, promising that he would never tell others.
Zhang Heng smiled meaninglessly and walked out of Hong's house with me.
Walking to the entrance of the village, he looked at me: "The sixth master didn't know that the purpose of those dummies was to kill you. ”
I instantly tensed up and bit my lip to look at him.
He looked mild, without any signs of anger: "I won't say it." ”
"Why didn't you tell the sixth master?" I don't really believe him, Uncle Niu will tell the sixth master everything.
I began to think about how to deal with this matter, Zhang Heng is very capable, I definitely can't kill him, besides, even if I can beat him, I don't dare to kill.
Therefore, the only way is to hide, to hide before the sixth master knows about it.
"I am not one of his, so why should I tell him everything? Besides, I'm only here to investigate the provenance of the dummy, and I don't care what the man is doing with so many dummies. He smiled, a sly flash in his eyes.
I was taken aback, "Brother Zhang, you're not from the sixth master?" ”
He hummed, glanced at the village without a trace, and said, "I am friends with the sixth master, and this time he asked me to help." ”
I suddenly realized that this may also be one of the reasons why Uncle Niu is afraid of Zhang Heng.
He touched my head and said, "That is, if someone wants to kill you, you can see that you are Yuan Guofu's daughter." ”
"Huh?" I was puzzled: "My dad is so hateful? ”
He laughed and said: "You yourself are very hated, and the people who can see things from those seven faces are hated, that is, the sixth master dares to keep you, so you are not stupid, except for the sixth master, no one dares to let you live." ”
I wanted to ask in detail, but he refused to say, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't ask, come with me to Henan County first, let's go to see who is secretly trying to kill you." ”
I suppressed the doubts in my heart and nodded, I really should go to that place.
In addition to figuring out who was going to kill me and why, I might also know something about the Seven Rivers of Trouble and the Seven Faces.
I was a little excited that what I had been going around in circles was finally getting going.
"Brother Zhang, let's go." I tugged at his sleeve and said.
As soon as the words fell, a group of people suddenly rushed out of the village, all holding dicks in their hands.
I know the leader who is the village chief of Hongshi Village.
The village chief shouted behind his ear, holding a sickle: "Don't go, as soon as you come out, the Hong brothers will die, we have already called the police, you have to wait for the police to come with us." ”
Zhang Heng said: "We just asked the Hong brothers about something, we really didn't do anything, since we have called the police, then we can only stay." ”
I was stunned, and after a while, I suddenly reacted, my heart jumped, and I looked at Zhang Heng, who had a gentle and calm expression, and quietly loosened his sleeve.
He couldn't have done it, could he?
We waited for more than half an hour for the police to come over, and the two of us were taken directly back to the police station as suspects.
The first time I went in, my nervous hands and feet were shaking.
But I waited for a long time and no one came to ask me why I came, and Zhang Heng and I were released the next morning.
When I got out of the police station, I learned that the four brothers of the Hong family had hanged themselves.
To be honest, this death sent chills down my back.
