After hearing this, my grandmother said happily: "You are really smart, it is not in vain that grandma pulled you up with hard work and taught you metaphysical feng shui." You must also know that the reason why our Ma family changed their surname to Feng and was willing to live in seclusion in this remote Xiwang Village was because of the pursuit and killing of the enemy, right? ”

I nodded, and said suspiciously, "But what kind of enemy is going to hunt us down?" ”

My grandmother still didn't answer my doubts directly, but told me, "Son, you should leave after the funeral, don't come back." There's nothing left to be nostalgic for here. ”

"But"

"There's nothing you can't do." Grandma's words suddenly became very harsh, "You listen to grandma, leave after the funeral, otherwise your uncle and aunt, your grandfather, and all the villagers of Xiwang Village and Dongwang Village will die!" ”

"Why is this happening?" I'm going to get to the bottom of it.

"Don't ask why, you have to know that not everything has a why, you just have to listen to grandma and don't think about anything else." Grandma comforted me and said, "Xiaoyuan, grandma won't hurt you, grandma wants you to do this for your own good." ”

After my grandmother said this, she slowly became more and more indistinct from me, and the mixed voices of men and women kept calling to me. I opened my sleepy eyes in a haze, and the outlines of men and women changed from blurry to clear, they were Lin Hai and Chen Lin.

"Why did you wake up?" I asked Lin Hai.

"I don't know what's going on, it stands to reason that this medicine should be very accurate." Lin Hai scratched his head, a little puzzled, "Is it that the medicine I took in the morning has a counter-effect to this medicine?" But it doesn't matter, I just woke up, even if the time is not accurate, the error is only one or two minutes, wait a while to see Chen Mo, he should wake up on time. ”

The three of us sat on the stool and waited for Chen Mo's reaction.

One minute passed quickly, two minutes passed, and three minutes passed without seeing any reaction from Chen Mo, he still slept there peacefully, motionless.

"What's going on?" Chen Lin asked worriedly, "My brother won't be fine, right?" Brother Lin Hai. ”

Lin Haisheng didn't speak, and a trace of panic flashed on his face. Obviously, this situation is not in his grasp.

"Yes, Chen Mo won't be fine, right?" I also asked Lin Hai worriedly.

"How so?" Lin Hai said suspiciously, he hurriedly rolled the fat man's eyelids, took a breath, and listened carefully to his heartbeat, looking puzzled.

He stopped for a while, and had to pinch Chen Mo's acupoint again, and with this pinch, Chen Mo woke up and laughed at us. It turned out that he woke up early to scare us.

We were so angry with Chen Mo that we couldn't cry or laugh, and Chen Lin even hit Chen Mo in the chest with a hammer of powder, and scolded coquettishly: "Brother is so bad, he scared us to death." ”

Chen Mo still laughed happily.

Lin Hai Zhengse looked at me and asked, "Xiao Yuan, there should be no problem now, right?" ”

I nodded and said, "Okay, I trust you, just do what you say." Although I said this, my mind was thinking about the words that my grandmother said to me when I dreamed of my grandmother, and I knew that I didn't meet my grandmother out of nowhere, but my grandmother must have dreamed of it to me just now.

My grandmother repeatedly told me not to check it again, should I check it or not? If I suddenly regret it now, what will Chen Mo, Lin Hai and Chen Lin think of me? They're going to think I'm a coward! But if I continue to investigate, am I betting with all the lives of Dongwang Village and Xiwang Village, can I afford this bet?

Lin Hai did not perceive my concerns, and he told us in detail about the plan of action he had formulated, first, I sent a supper with anesthetic to my uncle and all the people who were present at two o'clock in the morning to eat. After they fainted, I used the cuckoo's call as a signal to inform Dongsheng and the fat man who were hiding outside the wall that after they climbed over the wall and came in, we opened the coffin together for an autopsy.

We agreed on a specific time, prepared our tools, and then dispersed.

I went home alone, and on the way home, I passed by Chen Tianding's house again. I stopped and looked towards the locked iron door, which was empty. There were no weeds in front of and behind Chen Tianding's house, but the house was full of tall weeds. These weeds rustle in the evening breeze.

Who said that Lao Chen Tou and Chen Tianding's family have released their previous suspicions? In my opinion, Old Chen Tou must still treat Chen Tianding's family as enemies now.

After all, Chen Tianding is dead, and the dead are the greatest. Although I was very dissatisfied with his hard work back then, after all, he has been dead for three years, so why should I still hold resentment and prejudice against a dead person?

I was about to turn to leave, but suddenly I found an old man with a disheveled hair and unkempt dirt standing in front of me inside the iron door. The old man's body was very distorted, and his body was crawling with maggots in the latrine.

As if he thought I couldn't see, he kept baring his teeth and claws at me in horror. If this scene were seen by others, he would have been scared half to death, but when I saw it, it was just a pediatric thing.

I secretly stretched out my right hand and pulled a spell out of my sleeve, and the words came out of my mouth. After the incantation was recited, the spirit talisman in my hand suddenly floated out and hit the forehead of the old man in the iron gate! He ended up in an instant, as if he had been burned by me, and kept rolling and twitching on the ground.

"Let me go—let me go—" he begged.

I said coldly, "Since you are already dead, why do you still want to go to the underworld to be reincarnated?" What is your intention to stay in the world for a long time? Chen Tianding! ”

I thought of Chen Mo, they once told me that Chen Tianding fell into the pit and died accidentally when he went to the toilet in the middle of the night, although the old ghost in front of him was covered by a full head of hair, but the maggots on his body made me judge that he must be the dead Chen Tianding.

"I'm not Chen Tianding, I'm not Chen Tianding-" The old man crawled on the ground, arguing and begging, "Dao Chief, let me go!" Dao Chief, I died unjustly—"

"Hmph, you're not Chen Tianding, so why have you stayed in Chen's house all the time?" I asked rhetorically, "Your death was caused by accident, and there is nothing unjust." ”

"Dao Chief, I'm really not Chen Tianding, really not!" The old ghost is still pleading.

"It's not Chen Tianding, then who do you say you are?" I was moved by the old ghost's words, and asked again.

"I don't know who I am!" The old ghost cried and pleaded, "I only know that I have been floating here since I died, and I have not seen the ghost send me to arrest me to go to the underworld to reincarnate, and I don't know the way to the underworld!" ”

"What's going on?" After hearing this, I was very puzzled, wasn't the person who died Chen Tianding?

The old ghost was still crawling on the ground, begging me to take away the talisman from his body. He's almost five meters away from me now, and how can I reach it with my hand? After the old ghost found out, he barely got up from the ground, and crawled to my side with great difficulty, and suddenly a disgusting smell of rushed towards me, which was disgusting.

I plugged my nose with my right hand, and with my left hand, I took off the talisman from the old ghost's forehead. After the talisman was removed, the old ghost became much more comfortable, and rolled happily on the ground.

This old ghost must have been a bohemian naughty boy when he was alive, otherwise he would not have behaved like this child after the spirit rune was removed and the pain was relieved. In my impression, the only person who can be called an old naughty boy in the entire Xiwang Village is Lao Chentou, a wine merchant at the entrance of Xiwang Village. Could it be that it was Lao Chen who died in the pit three years ago?

"Tell me, who the hell are you?" I asked the old ghost.

The old ghost knew the unpleasant smell of on his body, and deliberately took a few steps back, he had tasted my power just now, and he didn't dare to trick me again, but sat on the ground, still unkempt, and didn't dare to look at me with a straight face.

The old ghost paused for a long time before he said, "I really don't know who I am, I just know that after I died, I was summoned here by a very beautiful music, and I also saw the spirit flag." Dao Chief, you should know better than me that after a person dies, there is a ghost who will come to catch him and reincarnate in the pervas, right? I thought the music and the spirit banner were the ghosts calling me, and I didn't hesitate to come. But I don't want to, as soon as I came here, I was caught in the pit."

After listening to the old ghost's words, I sighed heavily. The death of the old ghost must have a lot to do with Chen Tianding. Chen Tianding has always liked to teach himself some metaphysical feng shui, and is a famous god stick in Xiwang Village. Perhaps after he killed the old ghost, he was afraid of being discovered, so he used spiritism and spirit flags to attract the old ghost's spirit, and then trapped the old ghost in the dirtiest and filthy pit, and never saw the light of day.

"Why don't you dare show me your true colors?" I asked the old ghost.

The old ghost replied, "I don't have a face, I don't know where my face has gone." ”

The old ghost's words suddenly frightened me, I closed my eyes and silently recited a "clear heart and clear eyes mantra", and when the mantra was recited, I opened my eyes and found that what the old ghost said was true. Behind his fluffy, dirty back hair is a black "face", and the outline of his face has been maliciously destroyed!

Who is so ruthless that even the old ghost has to deprive him of his face after he dies? This clearly means that the old ghost has no face to see people!

I pity the old ghost's plight, I don't want to go against the old ghost anymore, and I am worried that the old ghost will come out to harm people, so I said to the old ghost: "Old ghost, I won't accept you now, and I won't embarrass you." Who you are, I'll help you find out later. You have to promise me to stay here and not to come out and be scary. You know? ”

"Okay, okay." The old ghost immediately nodded yes, "Thank you, thank you." ”

I saw that the old ghost couldn't get up any strong winds and waves, and I turned around and was about to leave, when the old ghost suddenly stopped me and asked, "How do you dare to ask the Taoist chief?" ”

"Me?" I paused before I said, "My surname is Ma, and my name is Ma Xiaoyuan." Then I left and went home.

"Thank you Ma Dao Chang for not killing, thank you Ma Dao Chang for not killing." Faintly making an appointment, I could only hear the old ghost on the ground constantly thanking me, in fact, even if the old ghost didn't thank me, I decided to find out the old ghost's life experience. His naughty behavior is too similar to the old Chen Tou in my impression, if it weren't for the fact that my grandmother's funeral has not ended now, I would immediately go to the old Chen Tou's house at the west entrance of Xiwang Village to investigate.

However, this matter is important, and the old ghost's matter has to be put aside for the time being.
