"Everybody help catch that chicken......" shouted someone in the funeral procession.

Everyone, including the coffin bearer, ran in unison, and everyone rushed in the direction of the rooster's run.

After a period of pursuit, the big rooster was still surrounded by everyone in the woods, and was finally caught by his uncle. Guijiu and Liu Nianzu followed behind their uncle and returned to the cemetery with everyone.

"Master, what the hell is this big rooster for?" Liu Nianzu couldn't help but ask the ghost Jiu Jiu in a low voice and explained in a low voice: "Originally, this Yang Chicken should be thrown into the tomb after a knife, one is to remove too much yin qi in the tomb, and the other is to see which direction it flutters to look good Feng Shui is prosperous."

Liu Nianzu frowned: "Then you didn't do it just now!" ”

"Didn't I say it would have been!" Ghost Jiu thought about the key steps that his uncle was about to take, and said quickly: "And according to the situation of this family, the use of cocks is different, you can continue to see"

When the group returned to the grave, Onihisa found that the three-legged crow on the coffin had disappeared. The uncle just glanced at it, and didn't show any extra expression. Carrying the chicken on the head of the coffin, and making the gesture of releasing the chicken when the spirit was raised, Onijiu noticed that his uncle had also drawn an ink circle around the chicken with a brush this time, and the rooster stood there obediently again, but his mouth was crowing from time to time.

"The rooster leads the spirit, the soul returns to the soul, and the coffin is buried ......" the uncle pulled a long voice and issued a long command to enter the coffin.

The three coffin bearers and Liu Nianzu immediately lifted the coffin, dropped the coffin head, and after the front and head of the feet, hung the coffin on the steamed bun at the bottom of the tomb, and waited for the uncle's compass to set the money.

Onijiu hurriedly took out the compass in his uncle's bag, stood behind the tomb and turned to the mouth, Qianshan Xunxiang, and Haishan. At this time, my uncle came over and whispered: "Xiao Jiu, adjust it to the direction of Hairenza, and ride on the line in the middle of the two mountains, and make it a big empty line."

Ghost Jiuhu looked at his uncle suspiciously, the Qiangua includes the three mountains and Qianhai, and the Kan hexagram includes the three mountains of Renzi, and Hai and Ren are the dividing lines of the two hexagrams, and the line in the middle is called the empty death line, which is classified as the empty death category within the range of 5 degrees on the left and right. Moreover, Hairen's empty death is more fierce when he sees the water, and this yin house is just on the water bureau, which was originally an auspicious place to gather wealth and anger, but it is just the opposite when he dies empty, and it has become a more fierce place to see the water. The Great Void Death can only be used by temples, and others must avoid this line regardless of whether it is a yin house or a yang house, because it is the line of the end of the offspring. Why did my uncle give such a line to others?

Seeing that the ghost had not moved for a long time, the uncle reached out and pulled the compass from the ghost for a long time, adjusted it himself, and the crosses on the compass were pressed together on the line of the gold and the void. Then the uncle began to direct the coffin bearer to slightly adjust the position of the coffin, and after the middle line of the coffin coincided with the empty death line of the compass, the uncle made a stop gesture downward, and the coffin fell steadily on the steamed bun. The rooster was buried in the grave with the coffin. The finishing touches after that went surprisingly well. Before leaving, Onijiu looked back at the pile of loess, and always felt strange in his heart, why nothing happened! It's not logical.

Sitting on the bus back to Mulan, my uncle kept silent, like an old monk entering the meditation, and the ghost didn't bother my uncle for a long time, it seems that he is too tired these days. Liu Nianzu was not idle, and kept asking what was going on with the three-legged crow for a long time? Seriously, Onihisa also wondered how there could be such a crow. I had to say that I didn't know.

Liu Nianzu also saw that the ghost was at a loss for a long time, and gradually stopped, and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car window. Onihisa can conclude that his uncle must have an answer to what happened at this funeral, and Onihisa decides to talk to his uncle in the evening.

Back in Liuhe Sanyi Village, after dinner, Ghost Jiu arranged for Liu Nianzu to rest early, but he entered the West House to find his uncle.

My uncle was sitting under the lamp, discussing with my aunt about burning seven for my grandmother the next day. Seeing Oni Jiu come in, he already knew what Onijiu was going to ask him. Holding Onijiu's arm by his side, his aunt and Akihisa chatted for a while before going out to prepare the next day's breakfast.

"Uncle, what's the matter with the three-legged crow? Why didn't anything happen after that? Why don't you use eight coffin bearers? ......" Onijiu asked a bunch of questions in one breath.

The uncle pondered for a moment, and then said, "Xiaojiu, we were tricked today"

"What?" Ghost Jiu didn't believe what his uncle said, but his uncle was a person who had walked the rivers and lakes for most of his life, how could he be tricked.

The uncle then told the truth of the matter: the crow bubble got its name because there were many crows in that place in ancient times. Legend has it that the crow saved some important people, and later it was named "Crow Bubble". In fact, the truth is not like this, your old man has an ancient book that records a lot of Northeast geography, similar to "Xu Xiake's Travels", and the first one mentioned above is "Crow Bubble". According to records, a flock of crows often appeared on the north bank of the Heilongjiang River, and plagues would occur everywhere they went. A hunter finally organized a sneak attack and siege, using fire to annihilate the crow flock in one fell swoop. When the hunters examined the messy crow carcass, they were all stunned. It turns out that all crows have three legs.

Since then, there has been no major plague in the Heilongjiang River basin. However, plagues often occur in the Songhua River valley, and it is said that the two surviving three-legged crows escaped here over the mountains. These aren't necessarily credible, but the three-legged crows do exist. What we see today is the small one, and it is also the most ferocious one. There is also a large but relatively docile character.

The little three-legged crow has the ability to be super cohesive, which can control ordinary crows within a radius of tens of miles, sending out strange signals that we don't understand. Today's three-legged crow is very strange, as if someone has cast a spell, I didn't understand the reason at the time, until I accidentally looked at the compass when you were facing the mouth when I was buried, and it suddenly dawned on me.

Uncle stated, but the ghost Jiu became more and more confused, and couldn't help but interject and ask his uncle: "Uncle, by the way, why did you let me make the big empty death divider?" ”

"Xiao Jiu, although I have handed over all the true transmission of Feng Shui to you, you still have three things to improve yourself, one is experience, the second is flexibility, and the third is the keen observation of subtleties. Experience takes time and experience, and flexibility and observation require deliberate practice," the uncle said solemnly, looking at the ghost.

Onijiu was deeply touched by the three points that his uncle said, the trip to Beijing, after several tosses, Onijiu was able to retreat with his whole body, in addition to luck, Onijiu felt that the most important thing was his own wit, and the basis of this wit was observation. Although I am very vigilant today, and I am aware of the strangeness of the three-legged crow, why didn't I notice the strangeness in it? Until the end of the burial procedure, it was still calm, and there was no major event that the ghost had long expected.

Oniku then asked his uncle, "Who is the other person in the coffin?" ”

Uncle paused slightly, and then what he said made Oni Jiu stunned: "The person who came out of the coffin is Brother Zhang, he has had many contacts with me before, this person is really not simple, he actually figured out my style of acting, and knew that I would not expose his situation in the coffin too soon in order to find the truth, and I would make a sure blow when I took the final action." He deliberately found me through his brother-in-law to give his brother a hack, and revealed such a low-level hiding flaw, obviously deliberately creating the illusion of being killed."

Onijiu became more and more puzzled: "What actions do you mean there are other people going to carry out?" Why did you bring us here? ”

"Actually, I speculate that there is no one else at all, this is all a trap created by him, this is a game he deliberately set up, to create the illusion that he and his brother are buried, so that I think they are really dead" Uncle was very sure of his speculation.

Ghost Jiu was still puzzled: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

The uncle looked up at the darkness outside the window, a little confused and a little determined: "Xiao Jiu, your dream, your mother's dream, your father's dream, these initiators are Brother Zhang." Just last month I found out the secret. I don't know what he's going to do, but I'll be sure to help you get things straight."

Onijiu became more and more confused: "Uncle, what the hell is going on?" ”

The uncle continued: "Brother Zhang is a master of illusion, this stunt is almost lost, similar to modern hypnosis, through drugs and unique hints can control the consciousness of others. As for controlling dreams, I never thought of such a possibility before, but through this time, I suspect that you, your parents' dreams, were magicalized, and the initiator was Brother Zhang."

After listening to his uncle's explanation, Onijiu was skeptical: "Could it be that the legendary illusion really exists" Uncle saw Onijiu muttering to himself, and then said: "Actually, illusion is understandable, such as the big rooster I used to guide the way, I hypnotized it to stand still, on the one hand, I used techniques, and on the other hand, it integrated the low-level techniques in illusion"

Listening to his uncle's explanation, Onijiu finally believed it, because his uncle was able to make a strange motionless, which was also a real skill. Uncle can do this with just simple hypnosis, you can imagine how advanced the illusion will be.

Onihisa then asked, "How did you find out that it was him who set up the bureau and not someone else?" ”

Uncle said: "Because of that three-legged crow" Uncle paused for a moment and continued: "Last month, I held a funeral for the old Wang family in your village, and due to negligence, when I was hypnotizing the Yang Chicken, the chicken suddenly ran away. Everyone helped catch the chicken, but was finally caught by Brother Zhang. As I placed the chicken on the coffin, I smelled a very fine fragrance that I had once smelled in one of your grandfather's jars."

Onijiu's eyes widened: "Grandpa Tai can do illusions!" ”

Uncle made a gesture of pressing down, and Onijiu hurriedly lowered his voice: "Uncle, do you also know illusions?" ”

Onijiu is a little excited, won't my uncle be the same! Onihisa is naturally interested in mysteries, and if he can learn illusion, it will definitely help him unravel his mysteries.

Uncle sighed softly: "Hey, I was still a child at that time, how do I know how to learn that thing, and it is impossible for your grandfather to teach this dangerous thing to a child." However, for some reason, your grandfather didn't give it to your grandfather. In the winter of the month when I was 15 years old, your grandfather disappeared inexplicably. ”

It's the first time that Ghost Jiu has heard about Grandpa's disappearance, and no one has told him about it before. Oniku then asked his uncle, "How do you know that the scent is a medicine used for illusion?" ”

The uncle continued: "When your grandfather disappeared, this jar of medicine was not missing. Once I accidentally found that your grandfather was experimenting with the medicine in the jar in the room, and the dog at home lost its ability to act on itself ten minutes after taking the medicine, and your grandfather was able to make it do some stiff movements. At that time, I also heard your grandfather chanting, 'It's a pity that there is only medicine, no formula, it's a pity that I didn't learn this illusion.'" So I'm sure this thing must be an illusion aid. And Brother Zhang can subdue the guiding chicken in just a dozen seconds, and then can restore it to its original vitality without leaving a trace, this person's illusion skills can be imagined. If I hadn't smelled that fragrance when I was a child, I wouldn't have noticed that the honest Brother Zhang could do illusions."

After listening to his uncle's words, Onijiu's heart became more and more confused, how many unexpected things will there be behind this old brother? What is the connection between him and me?

"Uncle, then why did Brother Zhang get into the coffin and then be buried alive, isn't this a suicide?" Onijiu's mind was a little confused, so he had to continue to ask his uncle.

Uncle said: "Xiao Jiu, during the whole burial process, we neglected a period of time, that is, the time when the big rooster ran away, everyone went to catch the chicken, and the coffin was manipulated at this time. If I assume that it's okay, Brother Zhang and his brother are not dead, they escaped before the burial."

Onijiu looked at his uncle in surprise: "How come?" When I put the coffin in the tomb, I could see that they were struggling, there were two people in the coffin, how could it be so heavy, and there were no stones around the tomb, and I didn't notice that there was any excavated earth. In short, I was quite alert, in case of some ambush, I looked around carefully, nothing changed, the place was clear all around, the eyes were full of mud, and no means of transport could get here from sight in just 10 minutes and then leave sight"

After listening to the ghost for a long time, the uncle continued: "Xiao Jiu, you only noticed the ground, you didn't notice the change in the sky."

"The sky... Sky, by the way, uncle, the crows are gone! "The ghost suddenly realized.

The uncle nodded approvingly: "Yes, crow." Brother Zhang used illusion to control the three-legged crow with special abilities, and at the same time controlled the guide chicken. The day after he designed his brother to pretend to be dead was a rainy day, just in time for me to hypnotize the chickens from pure depth, but to allow him to take over from my control in time to prepare the chickens to lure us away. ”

Oni Jiu then said: "That's right, because the third, fourth, and fifth days are all burial days, and they don't have any close relatives in the distance, so it is impossible to stop for seven days and wait for people to mourn, so they can only choose to be buried on the second day." This guy is also too powerful, so cleverly designed"

Uncle took over: "Just as we were chasing the guide chickens, they opened the coffin board on the side of the coffin specially designed from the inside, and then used the three-legged crows to introduce the group of crows into the coffin to fill the weight, and then pushed the side boards and lurked into the nearby potholes, and when we left, they disappeared into everyone's living space."

Oni Jiu followed his uncle's thoughts: "Give us the illusion that they have been buried in the ground!" Because Brother Zhang found out that you knew the secret of his illusion, he was afraid that you would find out the conspiracy behind him, so he set up this bureau to create the illusion that he was killed, but I didn't want to be seen through by us, no, it was seen through by my uncle."

Uncle narrowed his eyes, as if he was saying to himself: "It may be far from being as simple as our analysis......"

Oni Jiu didn't ask any more questions, because he thought that there were no more loopholes in his uncle's analysis. With the current IQ of the ghost, I can't see any flaws. My uncle's analysis is reasonable, and everything is so rigorous.

But Brother Zhang and his younger brother ran away, and the key clues that could solve their mystery were also broken. Onijiu couldn't help but be a little frustrated.
