Chapter 38: Haunted Tales 01
Zhang Yang and I, the two most dishonest people, have become the most flawed nonsense, but we actually got through the trick.
This fellow surnamed Liu, in his fifties, has an eighty-year-old mother, a three-year-old grandson, a son and a daughter-in-law who work outside, and comes back once a year.
Liu Laohan got us some food, wotou and fish.
I was really hungry, I ate three pure cornmeal nests in one go, there were fish, I don't know how many I ate, anyway, I had a bunch of fish bones in front of me.
Liu Laohan asked us if we drank alcohol, he said that we were lost in the mountains and it was easy to catch a cold, and drinking some wine could drive away the cold, because we still had things to do, we must ensure a clear mind, so we said that we would not drink, Liu Laohan nodded with a smile, and put the wine jar back.
It was late, the aunt of the Liu family took her little grandson back to sleep first, and Mrs. Liu couldn't stay up because she was old, so she said a few words to us and went back to the house, leaving only the two of us and Liu Laohan in the yard.
I saw that there was no one around, so I kicked Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang understood, and immediately pretended to be very confused and scared, and asked the old man Liu: "Uncle Liu, we heard that this mountain is haunted, but now the two of us are frightened, is it true?" β
I immediately pretended to be frightened and nodded my head again and again.
Liu Laohan laughed when he heard this, and while pouring water for us, he said: "What kind of haunting, that's all nonsense by those people in Bajiao Village, the purpose is to scare you people, they are worried that you have come to us and have taken a fancy to us here to develop and build a factory, so they are talking nonsense." β
I said, "Uncle Liu, according to what you say, this area is not haunted at all?" But why, when we are trapped on it, we hear a woman's cry, it's terrible. β
As soon as I said this, Liu Laohan's face changed obviously, but he still pretended not to know anything, smiled and served us vegetables, and said: "What kind of woman's cry, it's just that the wind in the mountains is strong, blowing the leaves, so you heard it wrong." β
I said in my heart, I can still distinguish the sound of the wind and the cry, the more this Liu Laohan deliberately conceals, the more I feel that there is a problem here, strike while the iron is hot, and must not let go of this opportunity, so I continued: "Uncle Liu, our brothers are going to find a place with better feng shui in this area this time and want to build a resort villa, you see this place, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the scenery is pleasant, once the resort villa is opened, those who live in the big city will definitely rush to me, when the time comes, Everything here will be reported out, and our company is considered famous? β
Liu Laohan was anxious, the chopsticks "snapped" on the table, looked at me with a serious expression, and then looked at Zhang Yang, and finally stopped his eyes on me and asked, "Do you really want to build a resort here?" β
I said "ah", suddenly, the old man Liu stood up very angrily, turned around to leave, but didn't take a few steps before turning back, pointed to the two bungalows behind us, and said, "After eating, you can sleep there, tomorrow morning, get out of here quickly." β
This old man Liu actually issued an eviction order, which shows that I have the idea.
I deliberately pretended to be at a loss and explained: "Uncle Liu, did I say the wrong thing, if so, I apologize to you, but if you think that we are really damaging the ecology by building a resort here, then we can also discuss changing places, try to go to the other side of the mountain, away from the village." β
I thought that this old man Liu would say something that was not needed, you should go quickly or something, but I didn't expect that not only did he not say this, but instead sat down at the table again, took three or three wine glasses, and then began to pour wine, and said while pouring: "I smelled the earthy smell on your body as soon as you came in, and the ancestors of the Liu family were once favored, so I didn't expose you, but you kept knocking on the side again and again to inquire about the mountain, and I couldn't ignore it." β
As soon as I heard it, my heart was finished, this old man doesn't play cards according to common sense, how should I take the move now?
Zhang Yang has been eating, and this girl can eat the nest head as a steak, which makes people feel anxious when they are unhurried.
Liu Laohan handed us the wine glass, I was a little embarrassed to take it, and Zhang Yang looked at it very arrogantly, "Uncle Liu, since everyone is an insider, I will get straight to the point, we are looking for Fengling." "Fengling?" Liu Laohan sneered, and drank all the wine in the cup, "Die heart, you can't find it." β
I said, "We found it, just"
"It's just that you can't get in, can you?" Liu Laohan looked at me with a very strange smile, "Let me tell you, this mountain was called Phoenix Mountain in ancient times, there are five phoenix pavilions built in the mountain, three doors for life, five doors are death, and there is a five-element gossip array in the pattern of eight gates, you can stand in front of me alive now, it is already a miracle, listen to me, don't go in and die, after eating, go back." β
I immediately stood up and stopped him, "Uncle Liu, you know where Fengling is located, right, you know how to get in, you are the tomb keeper." β
Uncle Liu looked me up and down, suddenly his eyes stopped on my hand, I subconsciously covered the ring on my hand, but he still saw it, the corner of his mouth hooked up an intriguing smile, shook his head, and said as he walked: "Six hundred years ago, an unprecedented earthquake destroyed the feng shui pattern here, so that the power of the Bamen pattern was greatly reduced, which gave you people a chance to take advantage of, however, ordinary people are still dead when they come in, but you can actually appear in front of me alive, maybe it is destined, It's not early, you rest first, and talk about it tomorrow. β
I still wanted to say something, but I was stopped by Zhang Yang, and his eyes told me that things had taken a turn for the better, so don't push it too hard.
This night, Zhang Yang and I didn't fall asleep, and I always felt that this thing was progressing a little too fast, so fast that it was out of control.
In the dark, I noticed that someone was standing at the head of the bed, I looked up, and I found that it was Uncle Liu, he saw that I was awake, so he lit a candle, I wondered why he didn't light a candle when he had a lamp, but I didn't ask him, sat up, "Uncle Liu, is there something wrong with me so late?" β
Uncle Liu gave me a small black cloth bag, then fixed the candle on the pillar, looked at me, and said: "I have been waiting for someone, a person who can crack the Eight Gates of Life and Death, maybe, it is really time, young man, this is an object handed down by our ancestors, I am not qualified enough, and I have never understood the mystery of this, but now I will hand over the things to you, and I can also unload this burden and leave here with my family." β
"You're leavingβ"
Liu Laohan said: "I stayed here just to be entrusted with loyalty, now that you are here, the things are given to you, and I have completed the entrustment, I have long wanted to take my family to find my son and them, and the family will be reunited." β
"Uncle Liu, can you tell me, who is that person?"
"Young man, don't ask why, otherwise, you will live a very tired life." (To be continued.) )
