"You also know that their Yang family, those grievances and grievances back then?" I asked.

"Of course..."Wan Jinshan said faintly, "It was a few years ago, I went to Beijing with Yang Shuming to do business, and after the matter was done, Yang Shuming went back to his hometown, and I was going to a very remote place, and there was no plane to get there, so I took the train, Yang Shuming sent me to Beijing West Railway Station." I remember that it was raining a lot, two people got out of the car, found a place to shelter from the rain, was chatting, came a man dressed like a homeless man, said that he had not eaten several meals, listening to Yang Shuming speak like a Shandong, his father's generation was also from Shandong, for the sake of the villagers, asked Yang Shuming if he could lend him ten yuan to buy food. Yang Shuming was very happy, and gave him twenty without saying a word, and then the two of them chatted, and after chatting, that person was actually their own family of the Yang family...

"I didn't pay much attention to what they were talking about, and when the car was about to arrive, I went into the waiting room... Later, I returned to ×× City and met with Yang Shuming, and when the two of us were drinking together, I mentioned this matter and drunk Yang Shuming, and I took out from his mouth the matter of their family grievances. As for the person he met at the train station, what was his name Yang Dexing, then Yang Dexing told Yang Shuming that their Yang family members are currently living in an unnamed mountain village in the depths of Taihang. When Yang Shuming came back from Beijing, he went into the mountains to look for the village, but he got lost and couldn't find it. He didn't have a chance to look for it again, because I already knew how to use spells at the time, and it was too risky to rob tombs, so I decided to wash my hands. Yang Shuming has no use value for me, so I decided to get rid of him. Relying on the spells that Gao Qien taught me, I had already broken the kind of spell that I had copied from my brother Lao Hu, but I hadn't done it yet. So I found a way to make Yang Shuming collide with a natural snake on the way back from a trip, which was blown in two by a devil plane during World War II and mutated into a natural snake by the harsh aura of nature. After that, the old boy had a stroke and collapsed in bed..."

Hearing this, I nodded.

"I was also going to raise evil at the time, but I heard Yang Shuming say that their Yang family was cursed because they raised a militia to be evil, so the family was torn apart. I don't know if it's true or not, so in order to verify it, I decided to find the village where their Yang family lived, anyway, I often ran into Taihang Mountain. Later, I was really found, I disguised myself as an antique dealer, and not far from the village, I met a man named Yang Deqiang. I said that I was an antique collector, and if he had any old things, he could sell them to me. Then I asked them about the situation in the village, but I didn't ask anything. That Yang Deqiang was stupid and only interested in my identity as an antique collector, saying that he had something that was worth it, he was in his thirties, and he didn't have a daughter-in-law, so if he could sell it for a big price, he would ask for a daughter-in-law. I asked him what it was, and he said it was a tooth. I asked him to show it to me, and he said it wasn't in his hands. Seeing that stupid thing in the clouds, I didn't take it seriously, and left him a contact information casually, saying that if he wanted to sell it, he would bring that thing with him and call me when he went out of the mountain..."

"Your brother Lao Fox, do you know about this?" I interrupted Wan Jinshan.

Wan Jinshan was stunned, "Later, I went to Qingshi Town to see him, and I didn't know how to say it, I remember that I seemed to have told him about it." ”

I nodded, and said in my heart, the old fox must have been to that village too, so that tooth ran to his hand...

"Go on." I said.

"That night, I sneaked into the village, and judging from the architectural pattern of the village, the people in the village knew Feng Shui, and I didn't find anything unusual, so I left. Later, I tried to raise a living person into a bad thing, and nothing happened. Their Yang family was torn apart back then, and I think it must be due to other reasons, so there is some bullshit curse. So after that, I never went to that village again. It wasn't until this year, when Yang Shuming was about to celebrate his birthday, that I thought of that village, and I said that I might as well use their family's grievances to stir up trouble and encourage the people in the village to go over to stir up trouble for him. So I went to the village again.

"It was very easy for me to find the Yang Deqiang who had dealt with me at the beginning. There was no need to provoke at all, I gave him a sum of money, and he promised me that when the time came, he would find a helper and go to Yang Shuming's birthday banquet to stir up the situation. That Yang Shuming used to go to a monk's temple in their county town early in the morning to burn incense every time he had a birthday, and I only need to take advantage of this and use a little trick to make him hit the evil again. At that time, there was still some time before Yang Shuming's birthday, I became a wanted criminal, and I had nowhere to go, so I said in my heart, I might as well live in Yang Deqiang's house for a few days, anyway, I don't go out during the day, and no one knows that there is such a person as me in the village. However, I regretted the first night of my stay.

"Yang Deqiang is that stupid, thinking about women is a little crazy, lying on the kang at night, arching the quilt, licking the pillow, humming and chirping in his mouth, I can't sleep when it's noisy. I just turned it over and over, thinking crankily in my head, and suddenly thought that you are Yang Shuming's savior, and when he celebrates his birthday, he will definitely invite you, so the means I put on him will definitely be cracked by you. In this case, you know that I did it, and you will definitely run to the nameless mountain village to find me... To be honest, I hated you at the time, and if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like a lost dog. I'll prepare in advance, spread some powerful things around this village, wait for you, and have a head-to-head confrontation with you, either you die or I die... So, the next night, I wandered around the village, looking for a suitable place for cloth, and I never imagined that I would find something unusual in such a wandering..."

"What is it?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Wooden stakes, nailed to the top of the mountain, in the clearing, in various places around the village, each stake is engraved with a strange symbol of the ancient world... And when I went to Sichuan, I saw that kind of symbol. ”

"You've seen it?"

"Well, when I went to Sichuan, I went deep into the mountains and stayed at the house of an old man in the mountains, and I saw a symbol similar to that in the old man's house. According to the old man, it was handed down from their ancestors, an ancient spell..."

Listening to Wan Jinshan say this, I can't help but think of the words of Xiang Feng when I was in that 'ghost building'...

"And then?"

"Then I looked closely, and found that the arrangement of those wooden stakes seemed to be similar to the arrangement of those things on the periphery of Boss Ling's building on the drawings I found in the basement of the house where Master Sichuan lived... I knew something was wrong... The next morning, when Yang Deqiang woke up, I asked him what was going on with the wooden stakes outside the village, and he said that the fifth grandfather, a hunchbacked old man in their village, arranged for the villagers to make them. I asked him why he did it, and he said that one night some time ago, a few people from outside the mountains came and went to the fifth grandfather's house. Then the next day, the fifth grandfather summoned the villagers to the open space in front of the village temple, and gave each of them a piece of yellow paper with strange symbols painted on it, and asked everyone to burn it to ashes, mix it in water and drink it, saying that he wanted to dissolve some curse, and then he arranged for people to plane wooden stakes and nail them to the periphery of the village... As for what those people from outside the mountains look like, Yang Deqiang said that he didn't know, he also heard from others, and there were so many people..."

"And then?" I asked.

"And then I stayed in the village and watched the movements. Just a few days before Yang Shuming was about to celebrate his birthday, that morning, someone ran over and slammed the door of Yang Deqiang's house, saying that he should hurry over, the fifth grandfather was about to die. Yang Deqiang went for more than an hour, and then came back. I asked him what was going on, and he said that the fifth grandfather died, and before he died, he said, prepare more water, prepare more food, we were deceived... Then I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say a word, I was very anxious, the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't make a sound, I opened my mouth dryly, and finally I lost my breath with my eyes open, and I couldn't bat my eyes...

"I know what the old man wanted to express before he died, those 'outsiders' deceived him and asked him to arrange for someone to nail a wooden stake and give the villagers a talisman, nominally to dissolve the curse, but in fact it was not... I wondered if the village would disappear like Boss Ling's building. Later, Yang Deqiang followed what I said, and after going to Yang Shuming's birthday banquet to stir up trouble, I still lived in that village, and finally on that day, I witnessed the disappearance of that village with my own eyes..."

"Tell me!"

"That morning, as soon as I woke up, I felt that the atmosphere in the village was not right, and it was cold in the village on a sunny day. The sound of chickens and dogs sounding like they came from far away, and I thought something might be going to happen, so I didn't dare to stay in the village. I ran out of the village, climbed up a hill, and looked into the village from afar. It was almost noon when I saw a cloud climb out of the opposite hill and fall into the village. Then I heard the cries of the villagers, and the cries of the livestock... When the cloud cleared, the voices were gone, and the village was gone...

"As I was stunned, I felt something sting in my eyes, and as soon as I looked up, I saw something glowing on the hill opposite. Before I could see what it was, another cloud rose up and swished towards me... I was so frightened that I climbed down the hill and ran in the mountain, and as I ran, I felt that someone was talking to me, and although I couldn't understand what the 'man' was saying, I knew very well in my heart that I had seen something I shouldn't have seen..."

"And you've been here all the time, haven't you?" I asked.

"That's right." Wan Jinshan said, "These days, I have been hiding here, and I dare not go anywhere else..."

Wan Jinshan has been talking for so long, the sky outside has already been bright, pricking up his ears to listen, there is no sound in this valley, and the silence is heart-warming.

"I... I just..."

Suddenly, Wan Jinshan fell to the ground with a 'bang'...
