Chapter Seventy-Two: The House of the Underworld

When Xu Jianguo heard Qin Laosan's question, he looked at me, took out a cigarette, lit it with shaking hands, took a deep breath, and said, "This... This... It is better for you not to know about these things. ”

"Why?" I asked at the same time as Qin Laosan.

He stared at the two of us for a moment and said, "This is our village's secret, and once it is spoken, something big will happen." ”

I couldn't sit still, and hurriedly said, "So many people have died, it's not a big deal!" ”

He shook his head and said, "This is just the beginning, it's not a big deal, the real big thing is..." ”

Before he could finish speaking, there was a slight noise at the door, and I turned my head to see that a black shadow had fled with lightning speed.

I glanced at Qin Laosan, no one spoke, but Xu Jianguo seemed to know something, he got up suddenly, walked to the door, knelt down, his attitude was extraordinarily religious, he kept kowtowing to the door, and kept muttering in his mouth, "Big Master, Jiashan Geng, Yishan Xin, Maoshan You, Monkey and Mouse Jun Moxia, and the room is being bullied again." ”

Listening to this, I was very curious, the word A and B should refer to the ten heavenly stems, and the Mao refers to the twelve earthly branches, what does he mean by this?

To put it bluntly, when the ghost craftsman goes up the mountain to work, there is a saying that he views the mountain, and the Mao Mountain refers to the mountain of the plain, that is, the folk often say that the hill is not a real mountain, nor can it be compared to the 100,000 mountains in Guangxi.

And A and B two mountains, in the eyes of our ghost craftsmen refer to the three mountains and five mountains, the three mountains are Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou, (there is another way of saying the three mountains, it is said that Anhui Huangshan, Jiangxi Lushan, Zhejiang Yandang Mountain, called the three mountains), but in the eyes of our ghost craftsmen, we only recognize Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou as the three mountains, according to the "Historical Records of Qin Shi Huang Benji" records, Qi people Xu Fu and other books, there are three gods in the sea of words, the name is: Penglai, abbot, Yingzhou.

We ghost craftsmen do things, and we have always paid attention to digging roots and asking ancestors, so we only recognize Penglai and other three mountains, and in some schools of Taoism, it is no different from our ghost craftsmen, and we only recognize Penglai and other mountains as three mountains, respected as fairy mountains.

The five mountains are the well-known Mount Tai in the east, Mount Hua in the west, Mount Heng in the south, Mount Heng in the north, and Mount Song in the middle.

What puzzles me is, why did Xu Jianguo suddenly mention these things?

I stood up and was about to walk over, when Qin Laosan grabbed me and shook his head at me, he walked to Xu Jianguo's side, knelt down beside Xu Jianguo, and followed his example, kowtowing to the door, muttering those words in his mouth.

The two of them knelt at the door for four or five minutes before they got up.

To my surprise, as soon as Xu Jianguo got up, he was already in tears, and Qin Laosan asked him what was wrong, and he said that something big was going to happen in their village.

Hearing this, we were even more puzzled and hurriedly asked him why.

Xu Jianguo probably figured it out, sat down opposite me, and said slowly: "The reason why the three brothers of the Xu family want to build three houses seems to be to provide for his parents, but in fact... Actually... In fact, their parents have been dead for years. ”

"What..."

"What..."

Qin Laosan and I exclaimed, I almost didn't jump up, this is too, how can it be possible to build a house for the dead to live in.

Wait, no, if the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family are really dead, the people in this village should know!

Besides, there were quite a few carpenters who came to this village to take on the job, and even if I didn't know about it, there should be people who knew about it!

I asked that question.

Xu Jianguo's explanation to me was that the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family died in other places, and they didn't know why, and the three brothers did not mourn secretly, so almost no one knew about it.

I asked him again how he knew.

He said that he had overheard Boss Xu's call, and I asked him again why he didn't tell us in the morning.

He didn't speak, but stood up tremblingly, walked towards the cabinet behind him, and took out two bundles of renminbi from the cabinet and placed them in front of us.

I understand, I guess it was Boss Xu who gave the hush money.

By the way, no wonder Xu Jianguo asked me to leave at the beginning, and he knew from the beginning that the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family were dead.

If this is the case, it means that the three houses are not yang houses, but yin houses.

Oh my God, we've built the house to the ground.

What do the three brothers of the Xu family want to do?

As soon as I thought of this, I almost didn't scold, as the so-called living people have a way to live, and the dead have a way to die, the three brothers of the Xu family did this, which is tantamount to reversing yin and yang, no wonder I checked in that house for a long time, and I didn't find anything wrong at all.

Wait a minute.

I get it.

I really get it.

Yesterday in Boss Xu's house, I found out where all the corpses were placed, and they were all on the Xunfang Water Circumference Dry Bureau, but there were no corpses in the eighth direction. If you guessed correctly, there was a corpse in the eighth direction, and the corpse should be buried in the ground, and the owner of the corpse was the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family.

According to the rule that the eldest brother passed down from the ancestors is the father, the corpse of the old Xu family should be their father, and the body of the second family of Xu Lao should be their mother.

So the question is, whose corpse will there be in Xu Laosan's family?

Just when I was stunned, Xu Jianguo didn't know if he had thought of something, the spirit of the whole person seemed to be out of his body, and he staggered a few steps in the room like a walking corpse, and kept muttering, "Although I am alive, who dares to be sure that I live in a yang house, not a yin house." ”

I understood what he meant, but it was hard to ask, and Qin Laosan stared at Xu Jianguo in confusion and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

I stood up and said, "The yang house or the yin house, the main thing is to look at the door of the house, the gate is right, the person is right, once the gate is crooked, no matter how good the house is, it is difficult to say whether the dead or the living live in it." ”

After saying this, I wiped the things on my face, and Qin Laosan lowered his voice and reproached: "Chuanzi, what are you doing, you haven't finished asking yet!" ”

I sighed and pointed at Xu Jianguo, "Do you think he is like this, can you ask anything?" ”

He looked at the place where my finger was, and said, "But, Chuanzi, you don't want to know why the three brothers of the Xu family buried his parents in such a way?" ”

To be honest, I don't know why, but now that it's over, I believe the truth is not far from us.

At that moment, I said a few words to Xu Jianguo, roughly we wanted to go to Xu Laosan's house to see, Xu Jianguo didn't seem to hear my words, and kept muttering the previous sentence in his mouth, I didn't want to ask again, and pulled Qin Laosan out of his room.
