Chapter 136: The Stone Beast of the Evil Gate
It turned out that this middle-aged man was the person in charge of a real estate construction company under Sanxiang Group, named Liu Xiangke, in terms of real estate development business, he can be regarded as the right-hand man of Long Wuye, and he is currently in charge of an old city renovation and development project, and it is this project that has made his family uneasy for nearly half a month.
Xiangsha is an ancient city with a history of 2,000 years, and there are still many ancient buildings in the center of the city, and Liu Xiangke's old city renovation project is to demolish an ancient building with a history of more than 200 years, and plan to build a commercial building with tens of floors on the original site.
It stands to reason that the ancient building with so many years of history should be regarded as a cultural relic-level building, and it cannot be demolished at will, but because this building happens to be located in the commercial center of Xiangsha City, the plot has huge commercial value, after the reform and opening up, some people have transformed it into a restaurant in order to explore its potential commercial value, on the basis of preserving its original architectural style. Therefore, in a sense, it is also a commercial building, so Sanxiang Group used some tricks to buy this building from the original owner at a high price and develop it for real estate.
At first, the demolition went very smoothly, and the buildings on the ground were quickly demolished, but when digging the foundation, a stone beast weighing nearly two tons was dug under the ground.
This stone beast was very exquisitely carved, because Liu Xiangke knew that Long Wuye liked antiques, so he asked people to clean the stone beast and quietly sent it to Long Wuye.
Who knows, Long Wuye not only confiscated it, but also scolded Liu Xiangke University. It turned out that the gossip alchemy furnace that almost sucked Wang Hai Yuanyang last time was sent by Liu Xiangke, and since that incident, Long Wuye no longer dared to accept things dug out from underground. And this Liu Xiangke doesn't have a long memory, and he actually sent such a stone beast to Long Wuye, and he will inevitably be scolded.
I wanted to slap the horse's ass, but I slapped it on the horse's leg. Liu Xiangke was very depressed, but he was reluctant to throw away the stone beast, so he asked people to move the stone beast to his house and place it in the living room.
Who knew that since this stone beast entered his house, evil things have happened one after another.
His house is a single-family villa, and there is a hill behind it, but because there is a nanny at home, the floor is usually very clean, so almost never seen a mouse at home before, but the day after the stone beast moved into his door, his nanny found a dead mouse next to the stone beast, at first, everyone thought it was just an occasional incident, and did not take this matter to heart, who knew that after that, almost every morning when I got up, I would see a dead mouse next to the stone beast, and sometimes there was more than one, At most, seven or eight rats died next to the stone beast at the same time.
But that's not all, one night, Liu Chengwu got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and suddenly heard a sound of "rustling" in the living room, Liu Chengwu thought it was a mouse again, so he quietly slipped into the living room to check, he walked into the living room, turned on the light suddenly, but was shocked by the scene in front of him, only to see that the body of the stone beast was wrapped with dense snakes!
At this moment, Liu Xiangke was completely frightened, this fact is too evil, he didn't dare to put the stone beast at home again, and let people pull it away the next day, he originally thought that the stone beast would be fine after it was gone, but he didn't expect that since that day, his wife and son have the same strange disease, the two of them have almost the same symptoms, their faces are as pale as paper, their voices are weak, their whole body is weak, their expressions are in a trance, and they say some nonsense that others can't understand from time to time, and more importantly, the two of them don't recognize him anymore.
They were sent to the hospital for examination, and the hospital said that their white blood cells were low, which may be a leukemia attack, and as for delirium, it may be a complication caused by leukemia. But neither he nor his wife have ever had a genetic history of leukemia in their families, so how could a mother and son get sick at the same time? Moreover, in fact, the symptoms of the two are still a little different from leukemia, coupled with a series of evil things brought about by the stone beast, so Liu Xiangke believes that the reason why his wife and son got this strange disease is very likely to be caused by evil spirits.
Because he heard that Wang Hai had been killed by an evil person and was rescued by a master, he went to find Wang Hai, and Wang Hai let him find me.
I listened to Liu Xiangke's story, glanced at each other, neither of them spoke, it sounds, Liu Xiangke's family encountered this matter is not an ordinary feng shui problem, with our current level, if you want to solve it, I'm afraid it is still a little tricky.
But after all, this is the first business of our shop, and if we refuse him directly, then our shop will probably only be closed.
I thought for a moment and asked Liu Xiangke, "Mr. Liu, do you have a photo of the stone beast in hand now?" ”
Yes! Yes! Liu Xiangke immediately took out a photo from his briefcase and handed it over.
I looked at it and saw that in the photo, it was a squatting bluestone beast, the stone beast looked a bit like the legendary unicorn, but on both sides of its body, there was a pair of wings, and just above its forehead, there was a single horn. The stone beast's eyes were wide with anger, and its big mouth was slightly open, looking majestic. The body of the stone beast is carved with exquisite patterns, and under the left side of the body of the stone beast, there is a row of black and red text, which seems to be written in red lacquer, but because of the angle of the photo, it is not too clear.
I stared at the photo for a while, then raised my head and asked Liu Xiangke, "Has this stone beast been thrown into the Xiangjiang River now?" ”
Liu Xiangke nodded: "Such an evil thing, of course I threw it into the river." ”
"Can you catch it again?"
Liu Xiangke's face was embarrassed: "The weight of this thing is not light, it weighs thousands of catties, and the water is turbulent in the place where it is thrown, and it may be a little difficult to salvage it again." Speaking of this, he asked again, "Master Mo, what is this?" ”
I said: "Judging from the photo alone, this stone beast should be the legendary hedgehog, that is, the unicorn beast in ancient Chinese mythology, it is said that it can distinguish between right and wrong, can recognize good and evil, loyal and treacherous, generally in front of the ancient yamen, often put this thing to symbolize the righteousness and light." ”
"Since it's a rui beast placed at the entrance of the yamen, why is it so evil?" Liu Xiangke was puzzled.
I smiled and said, "Evil is not evil, it has no necessary connection with where the stone beast is placed, it may be that there is something wrong with the stone itself that carves the stone beast, and it is also possible that something evil has happened to the stone beast." ”
Listening to what I said, Liu Xiangke's eyes revealed a trace of admiration for me.
I added, "However, we haven't seen the stone beast after all, so I'm afraid things are still a little bit uneasy." ”
When Liu Xiangke heard this, he said anxiously: "Master Mo, you have to help me no matter what, how much money does it cost to save my wife and children, just ask." ”
I hurriedly said, "It's not about money, if we can help, we'll do our best!" Otherwise, let's keep this photo for now, to see if we can find some clues about the stone beast, we have to figure out the origin of the stone beast first, before we can prescribe the right medicine. ”
"Good! Good! Then I'll wait for your news, Master Mo, I'll leave this matter to you. ”
After Liu Xiangke left, the cheap stared at me with disbelief and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much!" I still know about the pig, but I haven't even heard of it. ”
"Who told you to read less often! I've studied the Classic of Mountains and Seas! ”
"Then what do you think happened to Mr. Liu's family?"
I shook my head and said, "I can't be sure yet, judging from this photo, there is nothing special about the stone used by this stone beast, and if it is a problem with the stone, after Mr. Liu sinks the stone beast into the Xiangjiang River, there should be no more evil things in his house." ”
"Yes, this thing is really strange, obviously the stone beasts have been thrown out, why is his wife and children sick!"
I looked at the picture of the stone beast in my hand again, pointed to the lower left side of the stone beast's body and said to the cheap: "Look here, it seems that something is written in red paint or cinnabar, I am wondering if it will have anything to do with this." ”
Cheap looked at the photo and asked, "So what should we do now?" ”
I said, "This stone beast should have some origin, we can take the photo to Boss Wen to see, he knows more about the history of Xiangsha City, maybe he can know something." ”
"That makes sense, that's without further ado, let's go find him now!"
Our shop is next door to Guyuan Pavilion, we went straight to Guyuan Pavilion, Wen Qingshan happened to be in the store, saw me coming, and asked, "What, is there still no business?" ”
I smiled and said, "It's finally business today, and it's a big business!" ”
"Oh? What big business? Wen Qingshan hurriedly asked.
I told Wen Qingshan about what happened to Liu Xiangke, and handed him the photo of the stone beast. Wen Qingshan took the photo and looked at it carefully, and said: "This is indeed a pig, judging from its shape and carving process, it should be something from the Qing Dynasty, the age is not very old, it should not be difficult to find out its origin." ”
"So, Boss Wen, do you have a way?"
Wen Qingshan nodded and said, "Generally speaking, there are two possibilities for a stone beast like this to be buried underground, one of which is that it has been buried in the ground due to the baptism of war and artillery fire. The second is that someone has taken the initiative to bury it in the ground. As far as I know, the ancient building that Sanxiang Group is demolishing was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 200 years, which means that this stone beast was buried in the ground at least more than 200 years ago. Although the Qing court at that time was declining, relatively speaking, it could be regarded as a country and a people's peace, and there was no major war, so most of this stone beast was deliberately buried in the ground. ”
