"What is the 'Granny Shi' recorded here?" Lu Dagang asked as he flipped through the paper. ,:。

Sister-in-law Fan said: "You should have seen it in front of the Dizang Temple, two figures on the left and one on the right at the entrance of the 'door'. ”

I hurriedly pulled out a photo of Meng Hong's 'Bo' and the four of them taking a group photo in the Dizang Temple, and pointed it out to her: "This is it." Sister-in-law Fan nodded.

I understand that "Granny Shi" is a statue that looks like a cat. It occupies a very important place in the whole ritual of the Soul Sealing Spell. The name of the dead person needs to be pasted on its back in order to summon the 'yin' soul smoothly.

"My man once had a trip to the water with the surname Meng, and what they salvaged in the river was 'Granny Shi'. The descendant surnamed Meng secretly carried the salvaged 'Granny Shi' out of the village. Sister-in-law Fan said.

We already know about it. After Meng Hong 'Bo' flickered away his three companions, he secretly returned to the village, and went out of the river with Fan thief to salvage things, which were the stone mother-in-law needed for the ceremony, and then moved out of the village and transported home.

I asked: "Why do you want to go to the river to fish, aren't there two statues at the 'gate' of the Dizang Temple?" ”

Sister-in-law Fan shook her head: "Those two can't be moved, they are guarding the Jizo Temple." It is said that there are monsters under this last Jizo temple, and no one dares to touch it. In the past, during the 'Cultural Revolution', the young revolutionaries smashed temples and demolished houses, and threw many Shi mothers-in-law into the river. It is these things that my man and the descendants surnamed Meng fished for. ”

"What did Granny Shi do?" I asked.

I have seen Granny Shi with my own eyes and 'touched' it. It shouldn't be made of stone, it's very light.

Sister-in-law Fan said: "I heard the legend of the old people that Granny Shi used a very rare plant in the mountains at that time, which was made of rattan, which could not be burned by fire and did not rot by flooding. It's a pity that this plant has long been extinct now, and no one will be a stone mother-in-law. Besides, Granny Shi can't do it casually, she also has to open up the light, only the Japanese monk can do it, and no one else can do it. ”

"So you can't make it now, even if you have the materials?" Lu Dagang asked.

"Yes, you can only use what you already have." Sister-in-law Fan said.

"So what do we do? Do you want to go out of the river to salvage? Erlong asked.

Sister-in-law Fan nodded: "Yes, and you have to go out of the river secretly." If the village knew about it, they would have skinned me alive. I'm worried, how can I, a 'woman', go out of the boat to catch things. Great, a few of you are here. It has to be said that it is the will of heaven, and everything is in the hands of my man. ”

I thought of the iron-clad face of the thief Fan in the coffin. The corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly upturned in his imagination, as if he was smiling. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.

The whole thing is weird and inexplicable, and I really don't know how far it will go.

We made an appointment to go out of the river in the evening, but it was still early and we couldn't always stay at the widow's house. We came out of her house and walked around the village casually. The few pages of the Fan family's family heirloom that recorded the broken paper of the soul sealing spell were taken back by Fan's sister-in-law. She said that she had just met us, and she couldn't talk about trust, and she was afraid that we would run away with the cheats.

Lu Dagang didn't speak, he kept thinking about the problem, and his brows were tightly locked.

Erlong asked me what I thought, and I said that my eyelids were always jumping, and I always felt that something was going to happen, and as for what would happen, I didn't know yet.

The three of us have a lot on our minds. After a walk around the village, head back to the inn.

There is really nothing to visit in this village, the poor mountains are remote, there are no plants on the mountains, and there is a large area of bareness, the more you look at it, the more cold it is, it is better to go back and sleep.

It was seven o'clock in the evening. It's dark in the mountains early, and it's already dark outside the window.

We crept out of the room and squatted around the corner of the second floor for a long time. Seeing that the old man who watched the 'door' went to the toilet, and the lobby was empty, we quickly slipped out. At night, I didn't dare to turn on the flashlight when I walked the village road, so I came to Fan's sister-in-law's house with a deep foot and a shallow foot to 'touch' the dark.

Knocking lightly on the 'door', Sister-in-law Fan opened the 'door', she had already packed up her ropes and made a gesture for us to go with her. Novel free download rong> she turned around and closed the 'door' of the room, which was not locked.

The village is full of old neighbors who live together, and there are no outsiders except us, and they all know the roots, no one will steal, and the locked door of the house seems abnormal.

We 'touched' the darkness over a mountain, and Sister-in-law Fan asked us to turn on the flashlight, and the four lights shone out, and the mountain road illuminated much clearer.

None of us spoke, and walked quietly at night. It was cold at night, and I shivered, not because of the cold in the mountains, but because of the foreboding, and the whole thing was covered with a nightmarish atmosphere throughout.

After two hills, it was already nine o'clock at night when I looked at my watch, and the flashlight could only illuminate the front of me, and further away was a deep darkness. I heard the sound of rushing water in the distance, not turbulent, but long, continuous, thinking that it was the river.

Sister-in-law Fan is from the mountains, familiar with the road, and walks very fast, so we stepped up our caution and followed her with full attention.

I went down the mountain road and walked for more than forty minutes to come below. Sure enough, a river appeared in front of him, and the moonlight was a little bright at this time, shining on the surface of the river. The river is very calm and quiet, and in the dark night, it flows like a substantial black 'color' ribbon, a black and gray 'color', and the solemnity can make people intuitively feel that this water area has a long history.

Sister-in-law Fan led us around left and right to a shoal, where two wooden boats leaned against the rocks and tied to the shore with ropes. The boat floated on the water, swaying and trembling when it looked at it. She jumped up, propped up the water with her oars, slowly pulled the boat to the shore, and beckoned us to come up.

We looked at the black and slimy river, and we were a little uncomfortable, and we endured the discomfort and got on the boat. I sat at the stern of the boat and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know where those things are in the water?" ”

"You know, the man sued me before he died." Sister-in-law Fan said.

I said, "How do you fish in the water?" ”

"Use this." She took out a long pole from the bottom of the boat, this thing is called Artemisia, which is characterized by being long, especially long, and it is estimated that it can touch the bottom of the shallow river with a pole down. At the tip of this artemisia is a small, sturdy fishing net that looks like a net pocket. Sister-in-law Fan told us that the thief Fan used this thing to fish for things in the river.

We rowed our boat and walked down the river. Sister-in-law Fan talked about the family's livelihood, this tributary of the Wujiang River spans many provinces and cities, and it is an ancient city with a history of many years. This river has been excavated and dredged many times in ancient times, and I don't know how many secrets have been drowned, so Fan thief relied on a boat, a penny, and a simple "water backing" to fish for things in the river. But don't say it, he has been fishing for a lot over the years, but he doesn't understand what he hits, and he sells it for wine when he goes to the city.

Sister-in-law Fan and her husband often go out of the water, they are husband and wife, and Fan's thief's ability is also four or five points passed on to her, and it is not a problem to get a small Granny Shi.

The surface of the river is very calm, there is no turbulence, and when you look closely, it is particularly turbid and bottomless.

The wind was very strong, and I was wrapped in my clothes and cowered in the stern of the boat, and I don't know how long it was, and it was already far from the shore. Sister-in-law Fan stood up and looked at the sky, and then used a flashlight to shine on the cliff on the opposite bank, and then turned the flashlight to illuminate the water surface with light. She picked up the artemisia and plunged it underwater, the pole shortening inch by inch in her hand.

We watched attentively, and she suddenly stopped, her expression was a little weird, she must have touched something.

She spun the pole, kept shaking, and then slowly lifted it up, looking very struggling. Erlong wanted to go over to help, she waved her hand: "You don't understand, this job is completely based on feel, I'll let you help again." ”

After a while, the pole came out of the water, and there was something black and slimy in the net pocket, hey, it was really fished out.

We took a closer look and were stunned. The thing in the net pocket is a black incense burner, but it is also 'fine', it can be held, there is no light on the surface, I don't know how many years it has been sinking in the water.

Fan's sister-in-law was very energetic, and she told us that we were in a good location and should be here. The incense burner is what the Jizo temple was used to be.

She went down again, and Artemisia entered the water, and the part of the 'dew' on the water became shorter and shorter. Sister-in-law Fan knelt on the boat gang and gently shook the pole with her hands to find a feel. I can see that this kind of fishing is completely a matter of luck, and I don't know what I can fish.

She froze suddenly, and began to lift up, but she didn't lift it after a few lifts. Erlong leaned over and whispered, "I'll help you?" ”

Sister-in-law Fan waved her hand lightly and continued to exert her strength, feeling that the thing was heavy and very heavy. She was a little sweaty on her head, and she didn't dare to be strong, so she beckoned Erlong to come over and help her.

The two of them went up and down one by one, pulling out together, and Erlong couldn't help but shout: "Damn, it's really heavy." "The 'female' is crazy to carry.

Lu Dagang saw that his hands were itchy, so he also leaned over and grabbed the pole and worked hard together. The muscles on his neck jumped up, but the pole still didn't move. He was angry, grabbed the pole, and worked hard under his feet, how could the boat stand such a toss, spinning in the river, swaying left and right.

I clung to the boat gang and yelled, "Can you be careful?" ”

"Brother Luo, it seems that this pole has caught something." Erlong said.

Sister-in-law Fan said: "Let go first, take a breath and then talk." ”

Lu Dagang was still struggling, she was angry, and hit him with her hand: "Let you go, didn't you hear." You know that with brute force, can you pay for the broken artemisia. ”

"A broken pole is worth a few dollars." Lu Dagang said.

Sister-in-law Fan sneered: "Broken pole? This pole used to be left by the fourth grandfather, the ancestral heirloom of the old Fan family, how many years on the water, how many things have been fished, nothing else, just strong. No amount of money can buy such an old thing. She sighed: "Don't look at my man as a partial house, but none of the younger generations of the old Fan family can catch up with his smartness, and the fourth grandfather liked him the most when he was a child." Lao Fan's family is blind...... "She babbled about the past.

After a moment's pause, she pushed us aside and strained the pole alone. We watched from the sidelines, and after about ten minutes, she suddenly raised an eyebrow: "Come up!" ”
