Chapter 481: One Leaf and One Bodhi
Zhao Changfu is usually not a person who likes to nag and gossip and complain in private.
It's just that today, he doesn't know why, probably because he drank alcohol, he obviously doesn't want to say it, but he still can't help but pour out his resentment and helplessness in front of Wen Shuo, a young man who really doesn't have any friendship.
From time to time, he would complain a few words, and then shake his head and sigh awkwardly, indicating that he didn't want to say anything more.
But soon, he was moved by Wen Shuo's casual words, or even a word, and couldn't help but confide in his heart.
Coupled with Fu Yuzhen's accosting beside him, the family's difficult scriptures were all poured out in front of Wen Shuo.
Li Changping, a neighbor diagonally opposite, has four brothers and sisters, the third in line, and his parents passed away a few years ago. His wife is from this village, and the family has two older brothers and an old mother, and since the new house was built, Li Changping's mother-in-law has moved from the dilapidated old house to Li Changping's house.
The old lady's surname is Jiang, and she is a famous goddess in Sanxiang and Wuli.
Like the vast majority of rural goddesses across the country, the name is good and good, building temples and making incense heads in the village, this god and that essence, there are spirits on the west mountain and ghosts on the east mountain, anyway, they are bluffed and deceitful to make people pay money, give gifts and buy things, full of compassion, words and deeds are shameless, and they belong to the scoundrel masters who scold the street at every turn, roll on the ground and pat their legs and scold the sky.
At the beginning, Li Changping's family wanted to occupy more land, and the village chief Zhao Changfu directly quarreled and fought several times, and Mrs. Jiang did not contribute less.
But in the end, it didn't occupy an extra inch of land.
Because of his uprightness and adherence to principles, Zhao Changfu was also completely aroused by Li Changping's family, and no one could persuade him, so he ran to the township, found the police from the police station and the people from the land management office, and issued a summons to warn Li Changping.
Mrs. Jiang also went to the township to make trouble a few times for this reason, but no matter how rude, the leaders and police in the township can't afford to provoke you, so it's okay to hide from you, right?
Everyone also knows that this kind of old lady who is looking for death and life at every turn actually cherishes her own cheap life more than anyone else, so no one pays attention to Mrs. Jiang, she came, she turned away, and sternly warned her that if she dared to destroy public property, she would arrest the children in her family and ask for compensation.
As a result, the courtyard wall of Li Changping's house failed to occupy an inch more in the end.
And the hatred for Zhao Changfu is even heavier.
Speaking of which, Li Changping's family, who did such a thing, is purely scoundrels and extremely bad, but in fact, it ......
In the countryside, especially in the remote and backward rural areas, it really can't be said that Li Changping's nature is so shameless and scoundrel-because of ignorance and ignorance, in their cognition, they feel that the idle land happens to be next to my house, and they occupy it, and I spend my own money to pick it up and build it.
Why don't you let me take it?
Whoever doesn't let me take it is just going to get along with me.
As for the laws, state regulations......
Bah!
I don't understand!
Why can't I be occupied if others can occupy it, is this how the state is reasonable? If others don't occupy it? Why can't I occupy it if others don't occupy it, and if I build it up according to my own ability, that's mine!
After listening to the identity and actions of Mrs. Jiang, Wen Shuo understood more and more the ins and outs of the matter.
He can basically be sure that the current situation of Zhao Changfu's family is the bad thing that Mrs. Jiang did. However, Wen Shuo can also be sure that Mrs. Jiang is a goddess, but she is by no means a mystic, and she doesn't even have the most basic cultivation, and it is even possible that the old lady doesn't know what a mystic method is.
The reason is very simple, although the mystic method does not lead to the cultivation of virtue, it is inevitable to cultivate the mind and nature. No matter how bad it is, he will not be a person like Mrs. Jiang.
Moreover, the magic circle on the roof of Li Changping's house, the occult aura was seriously insufficient, impure, and turbid, and it was not at all the kind of pure and clear metaphysical effect fluctuations when it was connected with heaven and earth after the metaphysics was really applied.
So Wen Shuo judged that this thing ......
The biggest possibility is home remedies.
From a metaphysical point of view, it should be said that it is a crooked prescription. In essence, it belongs to the source of the occult law, the earliest metaphysical law.
It's hard to say when.
Anyway, it was a long, long time ago, when human beings were first enlightened, and there was no cultural knowledge, no science, and not even writing. People are afraid of the changes of various natural phenomena, and they have begun to observe, experiment, and accumulate all kinds of experience with wisdom, and have experienced countless generations of experience accumulated by chance or painstaking efforts, so as to know the leaves, stems, and roots of some plants, and the organs and bones of some animals, which can be used in medicine, etc., and know that after a certain part of the human body is pricked, it can cure a certain disease in the body, and know which place is not susceptible to disasters, and which place is special or good or bad, because of something.
Slowly, people began divination, began to artificially arrange some things, create certain sounds, imitate and artificially create certain phenomena.
With the enrichment and accumulation of this kind of experience, there is also the emergence of witches.
In ancient times, witches were people with great energy and learning, who could divination, pray for rain, pray for blessings and disasters, cure diseases and evil spirits, and so on, and were almost omnipotent.
The origin of the occult law comes from this.
Gradually, Wu is like a sapling thriving, branching out, extending various disciplines in human civilization, it can be said that mathematics, language, physics, chemistry, etc., and even modern science and technology, culture, everything, but everything related to civilization, can be traced back to the shadow of Wu.
In this long process of development, any knowledge is constantly developing, becoming more and more refined and deeper, so it gradually diverges.
Just like science and culture now, who would think that it originated from witches?
Not to mention, just metaphysics, there is a division of the five techniques of mountain doctors' life and divination, which is still a differentiation that began to appear thousands of years ago.
However, the more in-depth and high-end the development of any academic, the higher the requirements for professional talents in all aspects. Of course, in this process, human beings are also getting smarter and smarter, and in this way, metaphysics begins to concentrate on a small number of people.
If you don't have enough talent, you can't study and practice the mystical method anymore.
In that era when there was no modern science and technology and civilization, witchcraft itself still had a very deep foundation in the folk, and people could only rely on and believe in witchcraft when they encountered any problems, so in the folk, even if it has gone through tens of thousands of years, many small ones have long been eliminated by metaphysics, science, and civilization, and the small remedies and witchcraft that are extremely backward and even have no effect have been passed down to this day.
Of course, most of them have changed their taste, and they have long lost the slightest effect, and can only be used to bluff people.
However, there are also very few, in special and coincidental cases, it really works.
To give the simplest and most direct example, that is the incident that Wen Shuo has encountered now - Zhao Changfu's wife and son are weak and prone to illness all the year round, there are problems with feng shui in the family, and there is a weak evil qi machine that continues to invade his family, and the reason comes from the roof of Li Changping's house.
Three houses facing north and south, at the southwest corner of the roof, a black pot-bellied crockpot is fixed with a few bricks, which is a small crockpot of pickled vegetables in ordinary rural families, with a diameter of about 10 centimeters at the mouth, and a diameter of nearly 40 centimeters at the largest part of the broad belly, and a height of about 30 centimeters.
The clay pot was dumped diagonally, and the mouth of the jar was diagonally facing the southwest corner of Zhao Changfu's house, where the latrine was.
There is no need to go up to the roof to pick up the crockpot and look at it carefully, Wen Shuo can guess that there should be two round piles of burning paper money in the crockpot, and there is an iron nail rolled in the middle of the burning paper money, or a sharp object such as a thick needle, and the pointed end is in the same direction as the mouth of the can.
This is just an ordinary witchcraft.
Under the influence of internal paper money and sharp metal objects, the five elements in the crockpot are gradually changed, and the proportion of gold is getting higher and higher, and the gold is more and more vigorous, showing an offensive trend, at this time, it will naturally rush out of the mouth of the tank with the help of the balance formed by the long-term slow accumulation and the five elements of the external heaven and earth, and form an aggressive evil qi along the direction of the pointed end and the mouth of the can. Although it will be in this short distance, most of it will be digested and fused by the unparalleled power of heaven and earth, and the remaining trace is difficult to cause harm to the human body, after all, the human body itself can resist external invasion, but the so-called no coincidence is not a book, the direction of the can mouth is the thatched toilet in the southwest corner of Zhao Changfu's house, and on the courtyard wall of the thatched toilet, there are shovels, sickles, pickaxes, shovels and other agricultural tools that are not usually used by farmers, and above the thatched toilet, for convenience and to save money, a piece of iron sheet that I don't know where to pick up is laid.
Originally, the aura dissipated in the process of operation, and it was precisely at the destination that many metals were encountered, and the qi containing metallic evil qi was encountered, and the breath of metal and human body excreted filth began to follow and invade.
Such a reality is in front of him, which makes Wen Shuo inevitably hesitate, is it a coincidence, or is the old lady surnamed Jiang who knows some mystical methods? !
Was Mrs. Jiang the first to put down the clay pot, or was Zhao Changfu's toilet arranged first?
After thinking about it, Wen Shuo still felt that a coincidence was more likely. Because if Mrs. Jiang really has such a little bit of knowledge and understanding, she can harm people invisibly, then she will not fall into the reputation of a scoundrel.
So how to deal with this matter in the end, Wen Shuo also had a plan in his heart.
After drinking a can of wine in the chat, the simple dishes on the plate were almost clean, Wen Shuo got up and said goodbye leisurely as if he was drunk.
Because his consciousness was guided without realizing it, because he was drunk quickly, Zhao Changfu was already stunned, but he still got up and resolutely asked to send him off. Fu Yuzhen didn't notice the slightest abnormality in her body, and apologized to Wen Shuo for her drunken husband with an embarrassed expression, and helped Zhao Changfu into the east bedroom to lie down, and was busy preparing a spittoon to prevent Zhao Changfu from spitting up.
Wen Shuo deliberately pressed the acupuncture points on his chest and abdomen twice when he helped Zhao Changfu lie down.
So, Zhao Changfu immediately began to vomit wine, vomiting darkly.
