Chapter 22: The Aftermath
The clansmen knew that it was Ah Zhen's ghost who caused trouble, and they invited the masters to try to resolve the curse, but none of them succeeded. www.biquge.info In the end, a psychic mage told the villagers that he had seen the female ghosts who were causing trouble, there were two of them, one was the ghost Ah Zhen with a demonic spirit, and the other was the starving ghost Ah Xiang, but because Ah Zhen's body was devoured by a hungry wolf, her ghost form needed to be gathered through Ah Xiang's help, and both ghosts had strong resentment, and the only way to crack it was to reincarnate Ah Xiang's ghost beyond reincarnation, and Ah Zhen's ghost form could no longer gather and make trouble.
However, the mage's ability is limited, although he can't completely exorcise the ghosts, he can help the villagers sign a ghost contract with Ah Zhen Ah Xiang, stabilize the situation first, and let Ah Zhen Ah Xiang and the villagers coexist peacefully.
There are two contents of the ghost deed: one is that the villagers must separate their souls every night, set up a table for Ah Xiang to cook, and spend time every night. The second is that every boy must be imprisoned after the age of 12, and the ban will be released after 12 years to appease Ah Zhen's resentment.
For so many years, Xiejia Village has maintained its livelihood during the day, but it is a real ghost village at night. Although they signed a ghost contract, Ah Zhen's ghost is too demonic, she hates the sound of reading, but if there are children who are smart and clever, it will not be long before they will see the corpses of children in the back mountains, and these children are all bitten to death by wild wolves without exception.
Things changed forty-two years ago, Wei Zehou didn't know where to know about this village, he sent Ah Gui over, on the one hand, Ah Gui's yin and yang skills are skillful, and he can help Ah Xiang cultivate yin virtue as soon as possible, on the other hand, in order to get rid of the female ghost as soon as possible, the villagers will definitely do their best to help Ah Gui hide his identity, so that the seven men in the outside world can't find his whereabouts.
Wei Zehou also sealed Ah Zhen, who came to the village from time to time to do evil, into the cave to ensure that the children of the villagers' families were no longer in danger of life.
"As for the Demon Gate Array" This is the point that Wei Wuxing wants to know, and when Xie Agui talked about this, his whole body was in a slightly different state, his thin bones began to tremble slightly because of the tightness, he said: "I am the only man left in Qimen, even if I break Qimen's handiwork, I can't break the craftsmanship of Qimen, and I can't find an apprentice in Xiejia Village, so I made a request to Zehou Xiangong, I want him to help me find an orphan outside, It allows me to pass on the ancestral craft, and in exchange, I need to promise Zehou Xiangong what I can. ”
Wu Xing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the young man with a long stick, and said in his heart, this person looks like he is only in his teens, and Xie Agui came to Xiejia Village more than forty years ago, could it be that grandpa sent him an apprentice in after more than twenty years?
Xie Agui sighed: "Zehou Xiangong only said that everything depends on fate, but I didn't expect that this wait would be more than twenty years, until fifteen years ago, Zehou Xiangong came to Xiejia Village again, he took Qi Cheng, who was still in infancy, and told me that he was going to build a manor under the back mountain, and after the manor was built, I needed to help him form a demon gate array in the designated position." ”
"You're talking nonsense." Wei Wuxing jumped up in shock, "That demon gate array restrained my father's eight-character life, how could it be my grandfather's order?" ”
As if anticipating my reaction, a look similar to solemnity appeared on Xie Agui's face: "Child, you listen to me finish speaking."
Xie Agui's knot of this demon gate array was not 15 years ago, when Wei Zehou sent Qi Cheng over and left such a paragraph, but he really came to ask him to go out of the village to do this, but it was ten years later, it was five years before Wei Zehou died, he personally came to Qionglai Xiejia Village, and watched Xie Agui form a demon gate array in a pitch-black coffin.
"Zehou Xiangong gave me two phone numbers, saying that this land would collapse in a few years, and once the coffin was found, let me contact his son and grandson, and lie to you according to what he taught."
Wu Xing immediately remembered that his grandfather had indeed disappeared for a while at that time, and the family even thought that he had an accident, and several uncles joined forces to force Wu Xing to hand over the key to the private vault. It was still Zhang Xiaohuan who held a shotgun to protect Wei Wuxing behind him, they hid at home for five days, and Zhang Xiaohuan was seriously ill after his grandfather came back. I remember this incident very well, he repeatedly asked his grandfather where he went, and his grandfather only said that he was going to "arrange the funeral", but the specific details were never revealed to anyone.
But this doesn't tell the whole story, because such a causal relationship simply cannot be established. Wu Xing even felt that it was superfluous to listen to so many words from him: "Although my grandfather doesn't like my father, I believe that my grandfather is a good person. ”
A trace of sigh flashed in Xie Agui's eyes, and then he smiled with relief and said: "I didn't understand very well at the time, but I heard his original intention in the two sentences of Zehou Xiangong, he said, 'If the descendants of the Wei family can't even carry such a formation, it may not be a good thing to die here' The other sentence is'Even if my son dies here if his skills are not perfect, then I have nothing to worry about, because from then on, my grandson has the determination to fight to the end'" He said these words calmly, without even a trace of emotional fluctuations.
Wei Wuxing was trembling by this sentence, as if he was being poured with a basin of cold water. If he didn't believe it a moment ago, then when Xie Agui said Wei Zehou's two words, Wei Wuxing's heart collapsed.
Qi Cheng, who had been standing behind Xie Agui, said coldly: "I can testify, I was also present when my master went to the Demon Gate Formation, there was a red mole on the corner of Zehou Immortal's right eyebrow, and that black cat demon was released from the pendant of the lamp around your neck."
I stood blankly, if all of this is true as they said, then the current situation is actually grandpa leading them into the game? So the treasure inlaid sandalwood box in the black lacquer coffin...... Could it be that grandpa put it in?
At this time, Qi Cheng suddenly heard the slight footsteps outside the courtyard gate, he clenched the long stick violently, and stepped out of the door with lightning speed, and then saw him jump on the pile of bamboo in the yard as light as a swallow. A set of actions is very beautiful, and it is comparable to the light work scenes in the movie.
But I never expected that his impress on the young Qi Cheng only lasted for three seconds, and after three seconds, Qi Cheng actually fell down the same way, and his thin body hit the door of the house, with a "bang".
Xie Agui stood up suddenly, and at the same time, a sharpened bamboo was already in his hand. A skinny old man, one second he was sick of the old man, and the next second he was not inferior to any young man. And in the case that I can't see any decomposition with the naked eye, the person has already jumped out. I only heard a "dang" sound in the air outside the courtyard gate, but the sound of hand-to-hand soldiers outside sounded a few times, and the old man was not spared being kicked in.
Wu Xing couldn't help but turn pale, with the skills of this master and apprentice, the battle of the man outside was worth a thousand times more than his own. Xie Agui shouted at Wu Xing: "Go into the house, don't come out." The voice was sharply torn.
But it was already late, and under the moonlight, a cold shadow black jade appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
