That box is now placed under the Sanqing statue of the Taoist temple where Li Yunfeng was alive, this is a week later, and Li Yunfeng's first seven have also passed, and now he has been sent here together with his ashes, and Cha Wenbin and I have also lived here.

Zhu Zihao's guy has made a lot of money in these days, and he also knows that this money is a little uneasy, so he also runs here all day long, and his hands are as generous as usual, and the chicken, duck and fish are spread all over the table. However, he also brought some news: he went back to live in the old mansion for a while, and there was no movement in the haunted matter, and he heard some things about him from one of his grandfather's subordinates.

His grandmother's full name is Jiang Yu, and his ancestral home is Yangguan, Gansu, which is the main road on the Silk Road in ancient times, and it is also a very significant military town in ancient times.

The Jiang family was a well-known local family with a large business, mainly engaged in the trading of horses, stones and spices. He and Zhu Zihao's grandfather also met because of a business, when Zhu Zihao's grandfather wanted to purchase a batch of military horses, but he had no money to pay. In order to show their support for the Anti-Japanese War, the Jiang family once presented more than 100 batches of war horses to the government free of charge, and was commended by Chiang Kai-shek.

Jiang Yu is the only woman of the Jiang family's generation and the only descendant, Zhu Zihao's grandfather was also a beautiful man back then, able to write and martial arts and have a good mouth, so he married this Jiang Yu as his wife. Jiang Yu is an only daughter, and when she got married, she was very rich, and it is said that she packed a full eight carriages, including the general's painting.

He also said that this painting was the heirloom of the Jiang family back then, passed down from generation to generation, and when it came to Jiang Yu's generation, there was only such a vine, and it was used as a dowry without a way. When the dowry was due, Zhu Zihao's grandfather's subordinate was responsible for carrying the sedan chair, and the bride was holding that thing in her hand when she entered the sedan chair, and she was looking for it, so she could only go back to Yangguan, Gansu Province and ask if there was anyone else in the Jiang family.

"I'm already in the third generation, and it is said that my grandmother is an only daughter, and there are no relatives over there. I gave you that painting, and I used it as a foil to my brother's great favor. ”

Cha Wenbin turned around and said coldly: "For your copper-smelling things, so many people died, how can you explain to them?" ”

I know how unhappy Cha Wenbin is in his heart, but he can't blame Zhu Zihao for this matter, after all, he is a loser, and he belongs to the kind of person who is more righteous, and I also explained: "No one wants to do this, even if we don't find the things left by those old men, we can't help clean up the house?" ”

Cha Wenbin didn't know where he was unhappy, maybe he held it for too long, he got up and yelled at me: "Clean up? If I had known it was like this, I'd rather burn it on fire! Do you know what's in this box? ”

I shook my head, and he yelled even louder, "Ghost fetus! What a good thing his damn ancestor did that lacked yin virtue! ”

There are many explanations for this ghost fetus, and the usual saying is that the woman is pregnant and does not give birth after the full pregnancy period, and it is more than half a year or even more than a year after the expected date of delivery, but it is not a stillborn fetus, and this kind of fetus is also called a "ghost fetus" among the people.

There are many reasons for the formation of this "ghost fetus", and the most widespread is that people and ghosts are conceived after having a relationship, because yin and yang are not connected, and the pregnant child naturally cannot fall to the ground, and the light of the yang world cannot be seen. The ultimate consequence of such a pregnant woman is to die together with the unborn fetus, and what is in this box? It's four ghost babies who have grown up!

There is a kind of evil art in the Maoshan sect that Cha Wenbin is well known to, which is rumored to have been invented by a disciple named Liu Zhonghe, one of the third-generation disciples. One day he went down to the mountain to handle the funeral of a farmer's family, a pregnant woman who died in childbirth, and the baby could not be spared. The tragedy of this corpse and two lives made the master's family very sad, so they handed it over to Liu Zhonghe to deal with.

At that time, Liu Zhonghe was concentrating on an ancient secret method: Soul Transfer, which was rumored to have been created by Master Tongtian, but was too poisonous and was listed as a forbidden law. Perhaps it was a coincidence that Liu Zhonghe found that although the baby had lost his breath, he had died in the mother's body, and had not yet inhaled the yang gas.

Liu Zhonghe thought to himself that such a baby would still not be able to enter the three realms of reincarnation even if he had done it too much, so he could only rely on the wind and rain to wait for the bones to rot and turn into dust. He thought to himself how good it would be if the baby's soul could be transferred to the plant, so that he could continue to live in another form, and that his family would have a thought.

So, after burying the woman's body, he added a layer of soil to the grave and built a small pit for the child's burial. After covering the loess, he took a piece of vine and inserted it in the soil, and used the soul transfer technique to cast a spell all day long, lighting incense every morning and burning paper at night. And after seven days, the vine also lived, and its branches and leaves flourished.

After a few more years, the vine had grown, and Liu Zhonghe's research had made a great breakthrough, he moved the baby's soul to the vine, and then cut the vine with a knife, and took a part of it back to the Taoist temple to carve into a small puppet. And use cinnabar and ink to depict the puppet's internal organs, and then engrave the baby's birth date on its back, secretly put it in a jar, and hide it under his own **.

Every day, Liu Zhonghe bit his middle finger and dropped three drops of blood into the jar, and made an offering to his incense, candles, and paper money, so that after 7749 days, the little ghost in the jar of wood was able to communicate with him and be at his mercy.

Liu Zhonghe's invention of this technique did not carry it forward, and he knew that this technique would be a disaster to the world if it was used by unscrupulous people, so he finally burned the piece of wood with his own hands. However, this method was also written into the Maoshan technique, and named it: Soul Hooking Technique, which is regarded as one of the forbidden techniques of Maoshan.

Later, I don't know which disciple stole the forbidden technique and spread it to the Nanyang area, and this kind of magic came to be the prevalent ghost raising in the Nanyang area.

This ghost fetus technique and soul hooking technique have the same magic, both take the baby without yang energy to cast and manipulate it, this method is extremely vicious. The ghost fetus that does not yet have a mind is no better than the little ghost, it uses the mother as a vessel, and feeds it with the mother's blood, and the cultivator must be a corpse with two lives, and the resentment is several times worse. When the baby cultivates into a ghost fetus, the ghost fetus is taken out by breaking the abdomen and then worshipped, and its power is dozens of times that of Maoshan Soul Hooking Technique.

From this point of view, Cha Wenbin believes that Zhu Zihao's grandfather is the most suspicious, why did he take Aunt Sifang's wife but no one gave birth, and the sons born were all made into ghost fetuses. Cha Wenbin opened the box that day and wanted to use the Taoist method to resolve the excess, but the four ghosts came out together, directly broke his life talisman, was injured by the ghost qi, and almost lost his life.

"This ghost fetus is extremely powerful, if the family teacher is there, it may not be able to break it, thanks to Li Yunfeng's life as a guide, I have only picked up a small life. This thing has been formed for decades, and it is a ghost fetus that has become a spirit, and now the people who raise the ghost fetus are afraid that they have already entered the ground, and without their owners, they will lose control and hurt people wantonly. Zhu Zihao, your grandfather is really a vicious person, tiger poison does not eat children, he actually used his own children to refine the ghost fetus. ”

Zhu Zihao did not agree with Cha Wenbin's statement, he said: "Mr. Cha is so sure that my grandfather did it? As far as I know, my grandfather was very fond of those aunts and wives, he was born in the military, the second phase of Whampoa, studied in Germany in the early years, and never heard of such a warlock. ”

I said: "It is not excluded that someone did it, Hong Kong is close to Nanyang, this kind of evil art was once prevalent, and even now there are still people raising ghosts." ”

Zhu Zihao said: "It's a pity that my family is gone, and there is no way to verify this, but Mr. Cha, since this matter has been successfully resolved, in order to apologize, I plan to pay a sum of money to expand this temple to pay tribute to those who died because of this incident, what do you think?" ”

"It's fine." Cha Wenbin took out a fire fold, he looked up at the sky again, sighed and said: "The seniors are on top, and they are worshiped by the juniors!" ”

A fire instantly surrounded the small Taoist temple, and in the future, there was a new Taoist temple on the original site, and was named "Xuangu Palace", and now you can often see a person in the Xuangu Palace, this person's name is called: Tonghetu.

Leaving Hong Kong, Zhu Zihao's goods also came back with us, this trip is better not to go, the painting was also brought back, how do I think the person in the portrait is fat, not to mention wearing armor, even if he wears a veil like an Arab woman, I can recognize the pair of thief eyebrows and mouse eyes.

So, in order to find out the origin of this painting, we decided to go straight to Gansu Sunshine, which is called "visiting relatives"!

Zhu Zihao turned into a Hong Kong businessman, and in that era when GDP was just beginning to rise, wherever Hong Kong businessmen went, county secretaries at the county level had to personally invite them to dinner, and as long as they brought in Hong Kong businessmen to invest in foreign exchange, they would have political capital. So with him, I'm afraid the road to finding relatives will be much easier.

The so-called Yangguan is actually in the southwest of Dunhuang County, sixty or seventy kilometers away from the county seat, there is a Nanhu Township there, located next door to the North Desert, and now there is no grass. The whole township adds up to only a population of thousands of households, making a living from grazing, I heard that the county leaders want to accompany a Hong Kong businessman to find relatives, maybe they are still investing here, the feelings are bad, killing sheep and cattle is not lively, and the place we went to is the local township office.

Northwest people are so cool, sincere, as soon as I heard that this Zhu Zihao's grandmother is this Yangguan people, the township secretary is happy, accompanied by the local Dunhuang deputy county magistrate in charge of attracting investment, several people are taking turns to fill the big bowl, where has Zhu Zihao seen this posture, a few bowls of belly began to blow, until his grandfather and Lao Jiang slept on a quilt, I really can't listen to it......

However, this Jiang Yu's matter quickly settled, there was a place called "Antique Beach" in Nanhu Township, there was a village here before liberation, it was called "Yangguan" Village, this place is a pass by water, according to the Sichuan Danger, echoing with the north and south of Yumen Pass, there is a husband when the pass is not opened.

This place often because the ground has exposed a large number of cultural relics, such as copper arrowheads, ancient coins, stone mills, pottery cups, etc., and get the name of "antique beach", before the liberation there is indeed the Jiang family in that generation activities, but now such as is preparing to set up a cultural relics protection area, even half of the figure is gone. Most of the older generation of Yangguan people are not here now, and those who can be found have already gone to other places with their families, and in the final analysis, the environment here is no longer suitable for living people.

"What a good place to be in Yangguan!" When the wine was high, the township chief also began to boast: "This place was built in the Yuan Ding period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and was listed in four counties and two passes in Hexi, echoing with the north and south of Yumen Pass, and the fortress on the Silk Road once stationed no less than hundreds of thousands of soldiers. In the Han Dynasty for the Yangguan Duwei Zhi, Wei and Jin Dynasty, set up Yangguan County here, the Tang Dynasty and set up Shouchang County, it can be said that the glory has reached the peak, together with this Dunhuang County also followed the development, until the Song Dynasty after the development of maritime trade, this Yangguan gradually declined, the population is also decreasing again and again, when I came here to take over only 700 households, it is not comparable to a village in the south. ”

Cha Wenbin picked up the teacup in his hand and gently raised it and said to the township chief: "Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willowy." Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west. I don't drink alcohol, but when I get to this Yangguan, I have to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and replace wine with tea to serve you a cup. ”

"O cultural person!" The township chief was very happy, raised his glass and said, "What a persuasion gentleman to drink a glass of wine, come on, everyone, for the arrival of this good friend, I have done a bowl!" ”

It is said that Zhu Zihao's kid was sent directly to the county hospital for intravenous drips, and only then did he call someone to send them back the next day, so scared that the legs of their county leaders trembled.

Say:

I was low for a while, lost for a while, looked for a feeling for a while, and came back a little bit.
