Chapter Ninety-Nine: Li Yan's Tomb (text)

Although this saying has been circulated for a long time, it is not circulated in Taoist theory, so I ignored it, just thought that I didn't have a good rest

That night, he rested in Zhao Sansan's house, and in the evening he learned about Ye Weiting and Mu Wu from Meng Changqing, Meng Changqing said that they both left, and even the children were taken away.

After learning about his grandfather and grandmother from Meng Changqing, Meng Changqing said that he went to the Taoist Temple when he was eight years old, and he didn't know anything about the outside world, and he didn't know anything about his grandparents.

We didn't talk long in the evening, and everyone was tired and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, a group of five of us embarked on the journey to Tianshengqiao, because Li Yan was in a state of ghosts, so we didn't let her come out, for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

After walking in the car for dozens of hours before getting down, I walked to Tiansheng Bridge.

I thought it would be a fairyland on earth, but after I arrived, I learned that the so-called Tiansheng Bridge was only because there was a big ditch on the left side of the village, and one side of the ditch was a stone wall.

The real name of this village is Thyme Village.

It's the season of thyme flowering, so at a glance, the whole village is full of purple or pink thyme flowers, and I'm really drunk when I smell this floral fragrance, it's really drunk, because thyme is ground peppercorns, and this floral fragrance naturally has a narcotic smell, mostly because we are here, so I feel a little dizzy.

Li Yan didn't want to stay outside, she was very afraid that the origin of the living was here, she said that whether it was relatives or strangers here, they were afraid of her, and over time she developed the character that she is afraid of the living now.

Meng Changqing didn't force her, but said that we went to find it ourselves and let her stay in the bracelet.

This village is very different from other villages we have seen, all the wooden buildings, most of the buildings are in the shape of a courtyard, there is only one door left in the four directions, and the threshold of the only gate is extremely high, estimated to be about fifty or sixty centimeters.

The most striking thing about entering the village is a wooden building separated from all the residents' houses, which is divided into two floors and has a very high threshold.

The incense was planted around the house, and the ashes of the yellow laminated paper were also surrounded.

As soon as he arrived at the edge of this house, he felt an extremely strong yin qi inside, and when he was about to tell Meng Changqing about this matter, Meng Changqing said in advance: "This is a corpse shop, for corpse chasers and corpses to live, don't be troublesome." ”

After hearing this, I glanced inside the room through the crack in the door, and I had seen everything for so long, but I had never seen a corpse chaser, so I was naturally full of curiosity.

While we were looking, a swarthy old man in the village came up to us with a scythe, stopped and asked, "What are you doing?" Don't wander around outside this house, it's not good to tickle something inside. ”

"Dead bodies bite too? Isn't it the walking corpse that bites? "I was very puzzled after hearing this, although I have never seen the corpse, but I have heard of it, the corpse that chases the corpse is just a simple corpse, and they can walk completely by the power of the talisman, only the corpse after the corpse transformation will bite.

"Yes, if it weren't for the great corpse chasers here, we would have all been bitten to death." The old man said.

I sighed, rubbed my eyes, and looked inside the room again, this room was gloomy, not at all like a dead body would have, it was strange at first glance.

However, Meng Changqing asked me not to worry too much, and I didn't care about it, and asked the old man, "Do you know where the old man Ma Chengyu lives?" ”

When the old man heard us mention Ma Chengyu, he glanced at a few of us, and then asked, "Are you here to give him a grave?" His grave is in the tomb opposite the Tiansheng Bridge, but he has been dead for many years and no one has buried him, you are his descendants, right? It's really not filial. ”

After the old man finished speaking, he left with the sickle, I looked at Meng Changqing and said, "It's dead, what should I do now?" ”

Meng Changqing didn't answer, and Zhao Sansan replied after hearing this: "If people like them don't pass on their abilities, how can they be willing to die." Looking for his apprentice, maybe in this village. ”

Meng Changqing also felt that it was possible, but he didn't say that he would immediately go to Ma Chengyu's apprentice, but said, "Let's go to the old man's grave first." ”

After that, I met several villagers, without exception, they all thought that we were here to go to the grave of the old man Ma Chengyu, and they enthusiastically helped us point out the grave of the old man Ma Chengyu.

There are many graves in this tomb, and the grave of the old man Ma Chengyu is extremely obvious, because it is the poorest and sour here, just a small mound, and the grave is also the most sloppy, like a garbage dump, even a tombstone is different.

Just when he was feeling unfair for the old man Ma Yucheng, Meng Changqing put a few copper coins on the ground, and then pointed to it, and the copper coins on the ground shook a few times, and then disappeared.

"Empty, all the graves here are empty." Meng Changqing said.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately went to Meng Changqing's side and called Li Yan out and asked, "Sister Yan, which one is your tomb?" ”

Li Yan looked at the many graves in this tomb, there was a little sadness in her eyes, and there was also a little palpitation, and after looking at it for a long time, she pointed to the corner of the tomb and said, "Over there." ”

Meng Changqing immediately went to the corner of the tomb after seeing it, and sure enough, there was a small and exquisite tomb here, this tomb was much more delicate than other tombs, and it was often taken care of, and there were incense and yellow paper ashes that had been burned not long ago in front of the tomb.

The tombstone is engraved with 'Tomb of Lee Yeon', and the name of the person who erected the monument is a man named Lee Hai.

Li Yan felt a little strange when she saw her tombstone, and said in surprise: "This tomb is different from my previous tomb, my previous tomb did not have a tombstone." ”

When she said this, I naturally set my eyes on the name Lehi, and then asked, "Who is this Lehi?" She erected the tombstone for you. ”

Li Yan shook her head and said, "I don't know him." ”

After hearing this, Meng Changqing fiddled in front of the tombstone a few times in the same way, but the result was still the same, the inside was empty.

After knowing that it was empty, all of us were puzzled, but Meng Changqing said with a smile: "If it is empty, it means that your body may still be there, if you can find it, maybe you don't need to live in the bracelet every day." ”

That's true, but where to find it?

However, Meng Changqing's words immediately shifted the focus of our work here, that is, to find the corpse, not only to find Li Yan's corpse, but also to find the corpse of the old man Ma Chengyu.

Meng Changqing looked at the two words Li Hai on the tombstone and said, "Where is your home, maybe this person is your relative, let's go ask them." Maybe there's a clue. ”

mentioned Li Yan's family, her eyes were immediately covered with a layer of fear, but she didn't show it in front of Meng Changqing, and tried her best to hide it. She never shows her true emotions in front of us, nor does she feel zĂ i in front of us, but she will come out without hesitation when she is needed, never asking why and whether it is dangerous or not.

But what kind of person Meng Changqing is, he naturally saw this little change in Li Yan's eyes, and said: "You tell me where your home is, I'll ask you, just stay in the bracelet." ”

Li Yan hesitated for a while before she nodded hesitantly, pointed to the village and said, "In the third row of the third household in the village, my father and aunt are all there. ”

After Li Yan finished speaking, Meng Changqing chanted a spell to let Li Yan into the bracelet, and we walked to the third row of the third household in the village.

On the way, we met several villagers, and there should be few people in the village, so they saw wherever we went, and when we reached the third house in the third row of the village, they saw that the door was closed.

When the villagers saw us stop at the door, they said, "Lao Li and the two of them went out to pick thyme, and they will come back soon, are you all here to find them?" ”

"That's right! We are...... Come and see them. I said.

As he was talking, he saw a middle-aged and elderly couple in their fifties and sixties walking over, with a white towel tied to their heads, dark skin, and looking relatively healthy.

The people in this village look more robust, because it's generally darker!

These two people are Li Yan's parents, and they came to us and looked at us a few times and said, "Who are you?" ”

I wanted to say that we were Li Yan's friends, but Zhao Sansan hurriedly replied: "We are the judges below, your daughter died unjustly, we came up to understand the situation, I am Judge Cui's boss, Judge Zhao!" ”

I was almost amused by them, but the old couple believed this reason, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome us in, I was stunned, and the people in this village were so ignorant that they could believe such a reason?

However, after opening the door and entering, they learned their true intentions, and Li Yan's father said, "Don't discuss my daughter in front of outsiders. ”

They welcomed us in when they saw that we were related to his daughter, so that we would not be outside to discuss his daughter.

I felt a little strange and naturally asked, "Why?" ”

"Shame!"

I was stunned, Li Yan is so beautiful and so virtuous, where is the shame. If Li Yan's character and appearance were placed in ancient times, it would definitely be a smile and a smile for the city. The old couple still feels ashamed?

The old couple then welcomed us into the main hall.

They are quite weird here, placing the ancestors' spiritual positions above the main hall, I roughly browsed them, and there are the spiritual positions of Li Yan's contemporaries, but Li Yan's spiritual positions are missing.

Meng Changqing naturally saw this spiritual position, but he didn't seem to care about this, but asked directly, "Who is that Lehi?" ”

The old couple was a little surprised when they heard someone talk about Li Hai, but then they still said: "Li Yan's man is the kind that is not married yet." ”
