30. Scrutiny
Mr. Zou said: "People who have been impregnated with corpse gas or have been poisoned by corpses. ”
Before I could recover from Mr. Zou's words, my grandfather said, "There has never been such a thing in our family." ”
Mr. Zou said: "During the Republic of China, all places were haunted, and you should be no exception here, I suspect that there should have been a phenomenon of corpses in your village at that time, so there were people infected by corpse poison or corpse gas, but I haven't figured out what the specific situation is. ”
I heard my mom talk about the body, and then it was buried under the bridge, so I proposed, "Why don't you dig it up again?" ”
Mr. Zou didn't speak, I don't know whether he was for or against, and finally the question passed in silence, and my parents didn't echo it. When I saw that everyone was not talking, I stopped talking, and finally my grandmother asked, "What is going to happen to this solitary evil?" ”
Mr. Zou said: "I didn't dare to drive away the evil before I was sure whether the house was under the graveyard, and I seemed to understand a little bit why the person who helped the wood only drove away the evil on the wood but did not touch the solitary evil of your house." Maybe it's the same scruples I have now. ”
My dad said, "Doesn't that mean there's no way?" ”
Mr. Zou said: "It's just that you can't act rashly for the time being, I don't think the situation of your family can be described so simply, let me ask you, how many generations have your family lived here?" ”
My dad said, "From my great-grandfather to the wood generation. There are five generations. ”
Mr. Zou asked again: "Then has there been a serious illness or disaster in your family?" ”
My dad said, "Although there have been some disasters, there are absolutely no people who have died when it comes to family ruin." ”
Mr. Zou said: "That's right, your family has a unique evil, but your family has always been safe. And it hasn't even been affected by the Duyin Evil, do you know that once the Duyin Mansion is soaked in evil spirits, it will be ruined and destroyed in a few years, but your family doesn't, so I guess that your house has something to suppress evil spirits. Maybe he came to the ancestral grave under this house. ”
Mr. Zou's statement is reasonable, and he continued: "As for these accidents, there are always people in a generation who collide with their homes and ancestral graves, and these people's lives just collide with your family's evil spirits, so it will lead to the emergence of these disasters, but most of them are still safe, that is to say, your family's evil things have not been destroyed, and I think this may be the reason why I have not been able to detect your family's evil spirit." ”
Speaking of this, Mr. Zou paused again and said: "And I also told you, the most tragic and weird thing in your family should be the incident of Yongning being swallowed by a python, but I have analyzed it, this should be someone making trouble behind his back, but when it came to the wood generation, I don't know how the evil was suddenly led out, and there are these things now." ”
My dad asked, "Is it related to the life of wood?" ”
Mr. Zou did not answer or speak, but looked at him as if he was thinking. And generally he doesn't say anything that he is not sure about, so I know that he probably hasn't figured out this question yet, so it's better not to answer randomly.
So after that, Mr. Zou stopped talking about the topic again, but said, "We have another clue." It's this paper man, and the origin of this paper figure is also a mystery, as if it appeared on your doorstep like this. ”
I then said, "I remember him saying his name was Bai Jinming. ”
Then my grandfather said, "Bai Jinming, if I remember correctly, it should be Mr. Bai's uncle." ”
At this time, my father suddenly corrected my grandfather and said, "Dad, are you confused, Mr. Bai called Bai Jintang's second uncle." Then Mr. Bai's father is the boss, how can he still have an uncle. ”
My grandfather said: "At that time, you were not even born at that time, how would you know, Mr. Bai's father should be the second child strictly, and his second uncle is the third brother, because he has an older brother above his father, and his father's brother is called Bai Jinming, he still played with us when he was a child, but then he died." He was only six years old when he died. ”
Mr. Zou heard something unusual, so he asked, "Dead?" ”
Grandpa said: "I watched him die with my own eyes, we were playmates when we were children, it happened to be the village to threw wheat, there were wheat stalks everywhere, we played in these wheat stalks, and there was a leaking electric wire on the ground at that time, and no one knew about it." The ground was full of wheat stalks, and he slipped so much that he fell and just hit the power line, and then he was killed by electricity on the spot, and I was ignorant and went to pull him. As a result, it was bounced off, but fortunately, it bounced off, and if it was sucked up, I'm afraid it wouldn't be anything to do with you. ”
Mr. Zou muttered: "Killed by electricity? ”
Grandpa didn't seem to finish talking about this. Then he said, "I was the closest to him at that time, and I saw it most really, but he didn't slip, but was pushed by something, and I didn't see it clearly, but I saw a black shadow suddenly appear behind him, and pushed him violently, and I heard the laughter of children." But then I was so frightened because I was also beaten by electricity, I didn't tell me about it, and I didn't dare to sleep alone for a long time after that, for fear that the thing would come to me. ”
When Mr. Zou heard this, he said, "It's a dragon!" ”
Then Mr. Zou looked at me, and I don't know why he looked at me, as if it had something to do with me, and then I heard Mr. Zou say to me: "Mr. Bai's dragon is not raised by Mr. Bai." It's already there, it's been there when your grandfather was a kid. ”
This clue is not trivial, so what was attached to the paper man and then attached to me and my father, that is, Bai Jinming, who was beaten to death by electricity at that time? My grandfather and Bai Jinming have an intersection. This shows that it makes sense for Bai Jinming to pester our family, isn't it?
I then looked at Mr. Zou, and Mr. Zou asked, "Do you know that there were any famous gentlemen or earth masters in your village at that time?" ”
Grandpa thought for a moment and said, "There really is one." The people in the village called him a half-immortal, and his fortune-telling was so accurate that he couldn't be more accurate, but he was criticized and killed during the Cultural Revolution. ”
Mr. Zou was surprised: "Criticism is dead? ”
Grandpa said, "At that time, we were still young and didn't know the details. I only know that the four old ones were broken at that time, and he was a gentleman who bore the brunt of the transformation, and he wore a high hat every day, and the statue in the central temple of the village was knocked out at that time, and all the people who criticized the fight at that time would pull down the temple to transform, in fact, where is the transformation, it was completely in the abuse and whipping, and the half-immortal just couldn't stand it and died, but I didn't know if he was beaten to death or how he died, because when he died, it was the middle of the night, and the people who criticized the fight were generally put home after dark, The next day it continued. But the next day he wore a high hat and died on his knees in the temple with his whole body tied, which was very terrifying, like a white impermanence. Later, when a person died, the family had to collect the body and bury it. But since then, some people have said that the temple is haunted, and as a result, the group of people did not dare to make trouble anymore, and they did not criticize the fight, and finally it was stopped. No one dared to go to the temple in the middle of the village. ”
Mr. Zou asked, "These two things should be Bai Jinming's death first, and this half-immortal's death last, right?" ”
Grandpa said, "There was a gap of about ten years. ”
Mr. Zou asked again, "Then did this half-immortal leave any apprentices or anything like that?" ”
Grandpa shook his head and said, "No, and no one in his family will except him." ”
Mr. Zou stopped talking when he heard this, and his grandfather said, "Later, another gentleman came to the village." is a foreigner, and finally settled in the village, it is Mr. Bai's master Wu Xiaoquan, that is, the master who helped our family look at the land earlier. After that, there is Mr. Bai. ”
Mr. Zou looked at his grandfather and asked, "Wu Xiaoquan, where did he come from?" ”
Grandpa said: "I don't know, it's like the kind of person who wanders around homelessly, and in the end, he may see that there is no one in our village who can help people see the fortune telling, so he stays here, and finally settles down." ”
