49. The calamities that followed
Little Lori's resting place seemed to be quite far away, and along the way, I chatted with the old man known as Master Zhou.
From his mouth, I heard roughly about the experience of this incident.
The ancestor of the Shen family, who was ninety-six years old, died seven days ago without illness, and walked very peacefully.
Originally, the middle and elders of this family died at the end of their lives, which can be regarded as a happy mourning, and more than 100 people from a large family and relatives were also reunited to see off their ancestors.
This was originally not a bad thing, but the descendants of the Shen family invited back a valuable artifact lost by their ancestors, a centuries-old bronze mirror, and the disaster spread.
The sons of the ancestors of the Shen family basically passed away before him. The five brothers were only his sixty-three-year-old youngest son, Shen Yuanqing, who was still alive when the old man died. And the accident was on Shen Yuanqing first.
According to custom, this mirror can only be taken back after the death of an old man in the family and a month in the side room of the ancestral hall.
On the second night after the old man left, Shen Yuanqing felt that the precious mirror was unattended, and he was worried about it. In the evening, he said hello to his eldest son, and went to the ancestral hall to keep watch all night.
When the family had breakfast the next day, they found that Shen Yuanqing had not come, but when they found the ancestral hall, they found that he had fallen in a pool of coagulated blood, his skull had been hit by an artifact, and the mirror had also fallen in the blood.
When Shen Yuanqing was found, he was almost out of breath, and the family was in a hurry to arrange a car and send him to the hospital in the county seat.
I heard that until now, Shen Yuanqing is still in the intensive care unit and is not out of danger.
Originally, the Shen family thought that a thief had set his sights on the ancient mirror worth hundreds of thousands, and when he stole something, he was discovered by Shen Yuanqing. During the dispute, he made a heavy hand, and finally felt that there was a fatality, so he was so frightened that he threw the mirror and fled directly.
The police from the police station also investigated in the direction of the theft, and visited a large family, and no one witnessed the scene of thieves entering and fleeing.
In the end, the investigation was put on hold for the time being, and he planned to wait for Shen Yuanqing to wake up, and then investigate from the testimony he provided.
However, the disaster did not end there.
Something happened to the ancestral hall, and in order to avoid attracting another thief, the mirror was also put away.
The next morning, the eldest grandson of the ancestor of the Shen family, fifty-one-year-old Shen Guangquan, also disappeared without a trace.
At first, the family didn't pay much attention, thinking that he was probably wandering somewhere, but he didn't go home in the evening, and no one answered the phone, so the Shen family searched everywhere, but they didn't find any trace of Shen Guangquan at all.
In the end, I don't know who put forward the idea, saying that Shen Guangquan would not be in the ancestral hall, but when he opened the door of the ancestral hall, he checked inside and out, only to find that Shen Guangquan was also lying in the side room of the ancestral hall, unconscious.
And the bronze mirror, which had been put away, was placed back on the offering table in a dignified manner.
When Shen Guangquan was discovered, there were more than a dozen knife wounds all over his body, but there was no fresh blood around him.
He was also taken to the hospital, where he lay for two days before waking up from his bed. But when he woke up, he looked sluggish, crazy, lost his ability to take care of himself, and screamed as if he was crazy, as if he was frightened by something. The family took care of them for a few days, but there was no improvement.
was originally a good person, but overnight, he became a madman.
At this time, the whole family was suspicious of this strange mirror. The mirror was originally put away by Shen Guangquan, and others didn't know where to hide it, so how could they appear in the side room of the ancestral hall with the unconscious Shen Guangquan?
Some people gradually speculated that the family behaved disrespectfully, neglected the spirit in the mirror, and suffered a disaster. Some people said even more ugly, saying that this mirror is a hoodoo at all, and rashly inviting them home is to be exterminated.
The Shen family didn't dare to move lightly, locked the ancestral hall, and didn't dare to move the mirror inside at will. It's just that the whole family can't enter casually, and they are ready to invite a feng shui gentleman, and after careful inspection, the feng shui gentleman will do the work to avoid evil.
That Master Zhou was invited to the Shen family at this time. Master Zhou is the most famous feng shui master in this village, who has been helping the villagers to choose the day for decades, and is quite proficient in feng shui matters.
He checked the feng shui of the Shen family's ancestral hall and found that there was nothing wrong with the ancestral hall, the location was in the place where gold and fire were flourishing, benefiting the south, shadowing the descendants, and attracting gold and silver wealth, and it was not a place to invite disasters at all.
The statements of different schools of feng shui are mixed, and in the two books that Sister Ying gave me, "Feng Shui Topics" is about the foundation of Feng Shui, most of which evolved from Zhou Yi.
In the introduction to the relationship between Feng Shui and ghosts, it is described that Feng Shui is used to determine the place where evil spirits gather, mainly by combining yin and yang, the five elements, eight trigrams, and double hexagrams.
To put it simply, the ghost spirits that have been encountered many times before are called yin evil, which are easy to arise in the land of one's own land and the land of decay water, and they correspond to seven of the sixty-four hexagrams.
According to Master Zhou's judgment, it is not that the feng shui of the ancestral hall has suffered a disaster, so the problem is likely to lie in the mirror.
Master Zhou checked the mirror and found nothing, but he faintly felt that everything reflected in the mirror showed an extremely fierce appearance. He knew that the feng shui techniques he knew were only suitable for choosing auspicious days, but he didn't know anything about ghosts and gods. Unable to solve this problem, he immediately suggested that he needed to find a ghost hunter before it was possible to really solve the problem.
Otherwise, there may be more people who will encounter the disaster!
After several introductions, Master Zhou contacted Sister Ying in the city hundreds of miles away from a friend. Then, little Lori was invited to prepare to come.
And the night before the arrival of little Lori, a new tragedy happened during this period!
The granddaughter of the ancestor of the Shen family who had the accident is surnamed Wang and is called Wang Yanli, and the grandson-in-law is surnamed Ji and is called Ji Qing. Both are in their early forties and live in the county seat dozens of miles away.
These two people rushed over because of their grandfather's funeral. They also have a pair of sons and daughters, who stay in the city to be taken care of by their grandparents because they can't spare time to go to school in the county seat.
The little couple was originally going to wait for the first seven to come out of the coffin before rushing back to the county seat, but when Shen Guangquan disappeared and was found unconscious, they were also there. My brother-in-law and cousin were killed one after another, and the two of them were also furious, packed their things, and prepared to drive back to the city two days in advance.
However, until the evening before yesterday, the car driven by the two was still parked in place. Next, everyone found that the couple, as if they had evaporated from the world, disappeared from the Shen family without any warning.
Next, it was another crazy search by the Shen family, and once again nothing was found! contacted Ji Qing's parents in the city, only to find out that they had not returned home.
In the end, the police station also went out, and when everyone tried their best but couldn't find a clue about the two people, someone suddenly made a major discovery.
Shen Guangquan's son found a bloody arm under the offering table with mirrors in the ancestral hall!
It was obviously a woman's hand, and judging from the half of the sleeve, it was Wang Yanli who had disappeared who was wearing that dress before!!
