Chapter 25: Evil
"And the people in our family are not only arguing with each other, but even if the trouble is no longer inseparable, no one has told the secret at the bottom of the box, and they are all buried in their hearts. In the end, the whole family was torn apart, went their separate ways, and cut off all contacts, and only my cousin's family remained in the county, guarding the grave of my third grandfather.
"My parents moved me to this village because it's close to the Taihang Mountains. My father died not long after, and my mother never gave up looking for my uncle all these years, but she never found him. I didn't eat or drink in the mountains, a madman, I should have died a long time ago..."
"That wooden gossip was put into your third grandfather's coffin as a burial object, right?" I asked.
The man glanced at me, nodded and said, "Yes, those elders were afraid that other rebels would come to the door and copy out that gossip, so they buried my third grandfather." ”
"However, the spell on the gossip has been copied by many elders of your family, right?" Xiang Feng asked coldly.
The man nodded silently.
"And what about your mother, how did she disappear?" I asked, "And what's going on in this village?" ”
"My mother," the man choked up for a long time before she said, "four years ago, my mother was stricken with Alzheimer's disease, and sometimes I didn't even know her. But she remembered my uncle, and often said that Niansheng was coming back... Oh, my uncle's name is Yang Niansheng, and my mother's surname is Yang Shujun. ”
"Hmm." I nodded, "Uncle Yang, you go on." ”
Yang Shujun continued: "One night, I woke up in the middle of the night and found that my mother was gone, so I was so frightened that I hurried to look for it. When I went out, I saw my mother standing on the edge of the pond, called out to Niansheng, and then jumped down. I jumped into the water to save her, but I couldn't catch my mother..."
"Jump into the pond and be gone?" I frowned, "I can't see anyone alive, I can't see a corpse when I die?" ”
"Hmm." Yang Shujun wiped his eyes, "Since then, I have often had strange dreams about people in the village and outside the village dying in all kinds of bizarre ways. It didn't take long for those dreams to become reality. I think those dreams must have been entrusted to me by my dead mother, who may have manifested something in the village. I can't help but tell the truth to those people I dreamed of, and want them to avoid the disaster, but no one believes me, but thinks that I am a disaster, alas, that is their life, and they can't escape, so you better go, it's too dangerous here..."
Xiang Feng wanted to speak, but I glanced at him and said to Yang Shujun: "Thank you, Uncle Yang, we will consider leaving." ”
After I came out, I said to Xiang Feng, "He didn't tell us the truth about the evil things in the village. ”
"Of course." Xiang Feng said, "He must know what is hidden in this village." ”
"It's useless to expose him." I said, "Now, regardless of whether Xiaoqing's father's troubles have anything to do with him or his mother, we will stay here until we find out all the truth." ”
As I spoke, I looked into the pond and saw a gentle mist shrouded in the surface of the pond in the distance, and the wind blew through it, and the ripples of water rippled away.
"What you need to do later, I'll listen to you." Xiang Feng said.
When I came back to my senses, I saw Xiang Feng looking at me gently, smiled and said, "it, buy something to eat first to fill your stomach." ”
When I returned to the village and met the villagers, they all nodded politely to me and Xiang Feng, but their eyes revealed curiosity.
When I came to the small shop before, the boss's attitude was extraordinarily respectful, first making a cup of tea for one of us, and then forcing us to eat with his family.
After eating and drinking enough, Xiang Feng and I drove to the town where Xiaoqing had the injection. Xiaoqing is no longer as bad as before, but she is still a little drowsy, and her eyes are confused. Xiang Feng and I checked carefully, no matter whether it was the beginning of the test or Xiaoqing's complexion, she had no symptoms of rushing, the fever was only due to a cold, and she was frightened and stimulated.
Seeing that it was getting late, I decided to start with the black-faced man tomorrow and see if I could find the thing he was ramming into. Since Yang Shujun can dream that he is going to be unlucky (let's believe that he dreamed it for the time being), then the thing he collided with should be the same thing that has been harming the villagers in that village.
That night, we stayed at the health center, and the doctor on duty was nice enough to bring us stools and hot water. Lying on the side of the hospital bed and sleeping until I woke up in the middle of the night, when I went out to relieve myself in a daze, I saw Miss Bai standing in the courtyard, staring blankly at the night sky. In the cold, I almost thought she was the morning star.
"Didn't you sleep?" I asked.
"Hmm." Miss Bai didn't look back at me, but just answered softly.
"By the way, I was in that pond last night, thank you for saving me..."
"No, you don't." Miss Bai said, "I have never liked to owe favors to others, and I don't like the favors that others owe me. Last time you guarded me in that old mansion and saved me, yesterday I saved you, and now we are even, and we don't owe each other. ”
"Hmm..."
I nodded, not knowing what to say. When I went back after untying my hand, Miss Bai was still standing there, and the feeling of her back was not indifference, but loneliness, an indescribable loneliness. At that moment, my heart involuntarily hurt, and I felt a little more good and pity for this mysterious woman.
Early the next morning, Xiang Feng and I drove back to the village. When we came to the house again, I saw that the door was locked, I climbed over the wall to take a look, the door was also locked, and Yang Shujun didn't know where he went.
"Leave him alone, let's go find the black-faced man first." I said to Xiang Feng.
Following the address given by the black-faced man, we drove about four or five miles along a particularly difficult dirt road to a village. Following the general location and house number, we found his home.
It was already three days old, but I knocked on the door for nearly half an hour before the black-faced man opened the door and walked out, looking disheveled and tired.
When he saw that it was us, his eyes lit up, he wiped the sweat on his head, and said happily: "I thought it was who, I didn't expect you to come so soon!" ”
Seeing him like this, I swallowed my spit and said, "Why, aren't we welcome?" ”
"Where! Come in! Come in! ”
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, the man shouted into the house, "Daughter-in-law, put on your clothes quickly, those two masters came yesterday!" …
I didn't have time to listen to him nagging about how to 'paste talismans and recite scriptures' as I told me, but I was just wondering if this person's family was fine.
When I came to the house, I saw a mediocre and bloated young woman sitting on the bed with her clothes draped. Xiang Feng didn't ask a word, walked over to the woman and said, raise your head, sit still.
The woman was a little shy at first, and then she looked at Xiang Feng obsessively. Xiang Feng stared at her for about four or five minutes, then turned around and walked back.
"How?" I asked.
"It doesn't look like it's rushing." Xiang Feng said.
I walked over to the woman and said, "Tell me your birthday." ”
"What is a birthday?" The woman asked shyly.
"It's the date of your birth."
"Oh." The woman giggled, "I thought it was something..."
After asking her about her birthday, I played a game, and the situation showed that this woman was very hard and did not rush. Then we asked the black-faced man to take us to his parents' house, and now his parents are not angry. In other words, the thing that the black-faced man collided with was different from the house that Boss Wang collided with at the beginning, only harming one person, not one family.
"Take us there." Xiang Feng said.
"Where to go?" The black-faced man asked.
I pouted, "Where you picked up the pipe on the halfway road that day, you will take us wherever you go..."
The black-faced man's face flushed again, and he smiled awkwardly 'hehe'.
Under his guidance, we drove out of the village to a river about two miles south of the village, which was about ten meters wide, and the car drove to a stone bridge and stopped.
The black-faced man pointed to the bottom of the bridge and said, "It's right down here." ”
I got out of the car and looked at the feng shui in this area, and saw that the embankments on both sides were bare, not even a single grass grows, and under the embankment was a large area of saline-alkali land, and I couldn't help frowning. This place can be called a dead place in feng shui, and unclean things like evil spirits like this kind of ghost place.
The water in the river had been cut off, and the distant channel was bare, and on either side of the culvert under the bridge was a pool of black stagnant water, which together the size of an ordinary fishpond.
Following the black-faced man to the bottom of the bridge, he pointed to a location by the water and said, "It's about here...
The water under the bridge was jet black and stenched, and the carcasses of some unknown rotting animal floated on the water. I covered my nose and scolded the black-faced man, who can jerk off in such a ghost place, and even if he doesn't rush it, he may get contaminated with other unclean things.
"Ah Feng, what do you think?" I asked.
Xiang Feng frowned and looked around and said, "Ah Leng, I suddenly have a premonition. ”
"What hunch?"
Xiang Feng said in a deep voice: "There may be more than one evil evil hiding in the shadows and harming people..."
I was shocked, and said in my heart, I went to it, could I have stabbed the evil nest?
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw two lines of footprints at the water's edge in the distance, which seemed to be the footprints of some kind of animal.
"Come here."
I waved my hand, and when I came to see it, it looked like footprints, each of which was about the size of a child's fist, and its shape was very irregular, and it went away until it reached the dry earth under the embankment, and then disappeared.
"Can you tell what kind of animal footprints these are?" I asked the black-faced man.
He scratched his head and looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, I can't see it. Xiang Feng thought about it, went back to the car and took the compass, and leaned the compass against those footprints, only to see a slight swing of the magnetic needle. My eyes lit up, and I glanced at Xiang Feng, which should be the footprints left by the evil spirit. We circled around the water's edge, and there were no other footprints like this. I pointed to the water and said to the black-faced man, "There's a good chance that the thing that killed you is still under the water." ”
The black-faced man was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground, and then yelled, "Then you guys hurry up and get it out!"
"Such dirty water, will you go down to fish?!" I said angrily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now, and I was a little excited..."
Xiang Feng looked at the sky and said, "In this way, let's set up a formation at night and see if we can bring it up." ”
After returning to the village, I arranged for the black-faced man to find the yin wood for the array, and the things used to build the altar such as chicken blood. Evil belongs to the yin thing, and it should be led by the yin array. Last time, the house demon hadn't been born yet, so it could be drawn out with an ordinary stepping step. Xiang Feng and I ate and slept in the side room, and it was dusk when we woke up.
The black-faced man had all the things he needed to set up his spells, and when it was almost dark, we drove to the river. At that time, the 'Door of Death' was located due south.
We set a small table on the south bank of the river, filled the table with the charms, chicken blood, arrows, and tokens used for casting spells, lit three pillars of incense, and inserted them in a bowl of inverted rice. Then, we went down the embankment, and at a place about seven steps away from the water surface, we inserted the locust sticks we brought into a formation of seven stars inside and eight trigrams outside, forming a 'Seven Stars Bagua Array', and inserted a 'Liujia Yin Fu' under each locust stick.
After finishing this qiē, I pointed to a place in the formation and said to the black-faced man, "You are standing here." ”
"Huh? So, what about you..."
"Let's go up and cast a spell, and when something comes out of the water, you take two steps to the left, and then one step to the back. Remember, don't blame me if you make a mistake and lose your life. ”
"It's... This..."
"What is this?" My eyes widened, "If you're not in the formation, how do you lure that thing out?" ”
After the black-faced man stood there, Xiang Feng and I came to it.
"Are you coming or am I coming?" I asked.
"I'll do it." Xiang Feng said.
It was very dark, and the light of the three-pillar incense was flickering, and I was pressing the wind next to me. Xiang Feng stood in front of the altar, looking majestic. Xiang Feng pinched his fingers and thought about it, while stepping on the gang, and after three circles around the altar, Xiang Feng suddenly pulled out an arrow, and then splashed chicken blood on the ground.
I looked down, and in the darkness, I saw that the water was very calm, and there was not even a trace of movement.
