The car was speeding on the highway, and I sat in Master Ding's taxi in my newly bought outdoor clothes and headed towards Grandma Temple Village.

Brother Qiang looked weak, sitting in the back row drowsy at this time, but Mr. Qi was in good spirits at this time, and kept talking to Master Ding about interesting things in the Daomen back then.

I turned my face to look at Brother Qiang and asked, "Brother Qiang, do you have any relatives in your hometown?" Let's buy some local products when we get to the service area later, so you can go home now, and you still have to do what you should do in terms of face. ”

Brother Qiang waved his hand: "Don't spend money, don't buy it." I went out to learn martial arts since I was a child, and later became a coach, and I didn't know the villagers, and after the accident in my family, they avoided me like a plague god, saying that I was possessed by a disaster star, and you bought something to send it over, and you can't scare them to cry? ”

Master Ding smiled: "It's been ten years, maybe their concepts have changed." Wait a while to pick up a few things in the service area, and save yourself going back empty-handed to make the villagers laugh. Even if they don't want it, they still need to make offerings when they put incense on your father's grave. ”

When the car passed by the Makino City service area, we went in and bought local products such as Zangyingqiao roast chicken, and stuffed the trunk to the brim.

When loading the car, I looked at the long box in the trunk and asked, "Master Ding, is this your Jiaowei qin?" If Cai Yong knew that you would put it in the trunk, wouldn't he be so angry that he would jump out of the coffin? ”

Master Ding smiled: "Is it possible that I still have to hang it around my neck?" For Cai Yong, he is a hobby and the pursuit of art, but for me, the Jiaowei qin is a magic instrument, although I also like to play the piano, but it is only as a spice for life, not all. Get in the car and let's keep walking. It is estimated that it will be there in two hours, and the road is now repaired, so it should not be difficult to walk. ”

We ran on the highway for more than an hour, then got off the highway and turned onto a newly built country road.

It's all hilly, and it's rare to see in the Central Plains. But the vegetation is good, and there are lush branches everywhere.

Mr. Qi squinted at the lush hills in the distance and said, "In broad daylight, that place is still foggy from a distance, and it is really not an ordinary place. Hadron son, your family has lived here for generations? The feng shui of this kind of place, according to your ancestors, can be seen, after all, the people who are executed at the entrance of the vegetable market will know how to avoid evil and drive away blessings. ”

Brother Qiang shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that my grandfather's generation moved over, at that time, the Huaxia artifact was dusty, and during the turbulent years, this kind of place seemed to be safer, after all, birds don't, there is no road, and it is basically impossible for Dongying devils to go in and collect grain." ”

After the car entered the hills, I saw that the hills were full of locust trees, which were growing very well and sheltered from the sky. But when the car walked under this kind of tree, I always felt as if it suddenly became cold.

Master Ding turned off the air conditioner and lowered the window, his brows twisted into Sichuan characters: "This place is more dangerous than we imagined, it is so gloomy during the day, and I am afraid it will be more serious at night." Zhang Wenbin, open the map to see the satellite view, sometimes with the help of science and technology, you can see the terrain and geography more intuitively, first determine it from the general trend of feng shui. ”

I opened Baidu Maps, changed to satellite mode, and immediately saw the map of this hill after positioning.

Because of the satellite view, the entire hilly area is dark green in color, which is clearly different from the color of the surrounding farmland.

What is strange is the shape of this hill, in satellite view mode, in the shape of a ladder, one large and one small. What does this mean?

I handed it to Mr. Qi casually, and Mr. Qi blurted out when he saw it: "Coffin? ”

I sighed, "What coffin?" ”

Mr. Qi said: "Look at the appearance of this hill, the long strip is big at one end and small at the other, isn't this the floor plan of the coffin?" And these dense trees coincide with the coffin, because most of the coffins are made of wood. Moreover, the locust tree is a ghost in the tree, and the ghosts of all the dead people in it will not leave, but will only be left here. Here, it's dangerous! ”

Master Ding nodded: "The coffin gathers yin, and the locust tree collects the soul, what kind of formation does this be, leaving all the souls of the dead here here, the soul will nourish the locust tree, make the trees grow more lush, and the lush locust tree will block the ghosts here more comprehensively...... Zhang Wenbin, don't let the ghost sealed in your jade pendant come out, at least she can't show up until we figure out this place. ”

I nodded and pinched the jade pendant and said, "Zhou Xiaoqin, don't come out when I didn't let you come out, it's not good for you here." ”

Zhou Xiaoqin said in my mind: "Zhang Wenbin, I seem to hear a lot of crying, if you can, help the ghosts here." ”

I smiled: "Yes, you can't give up on them." ”

Mr. Qi said to me, "Show the gossip jade pendant, and don't cover it with clothes before we leave here." Hadron, how are you people in your village? ”

Brother Qiang coughed twice: "In the past, there were several villages in this area, at least tens of thousands of people lived here, but now only Grandma Temple Village remains." When I was a child, there were about a few thousand people in the village, and it is said that it has grown to half by now, but the last time I left the village, it was only two or three thousand. There are often dead people here, but because of the cool summer, many people are reluctant to move out. ”

Master Ding said to me, "Do you know why the road was repaired just after the electricity was connected?" It's because it's easy to die when doing engineering here. We investigated these things a few years ago, but there has been no progress, and your master has not allowed us to participate in this kind of thing, and has been saying that the time has not yet come. But now, it seems that the time has come. ”

I don't know why my master keeps blocking them from investigating here, I took a screenshot of the picture with my mobile phone, and just as I was about to send it to my master, Master Ding said, "Don't show it to your master, now that you are ready to face these things, you have to leave your master behind." When you came out of Yunmeng Mountain, your master didn't call you, which means that he wants you to exercise. And as an adult, it's not appropriate to find someone else to solve the problem at every turn. If we encounter a difficult problem, it is not too late to ask your master for advice. ”

Mr. Qi smiled in the back: "I know what you mean, are you afraid that Mo Lao will stop us?" But it's okay not to call, let Mo Lao rest in peace, he has been worrying, when will he recover? ”

I nodded, put down my phone, it's really not okay to keep looking for my master, I'm not a flower in a greenhouse, I'm going to go to Dongying in the future, what's the matter with letting my master shelter all the time?

When we arrived in the village, we were startled by the desolation in front of us.

Now when the countryside is developing, when all kinds of new countryside are springing up, when you can build a country house in your hometown after a few years of work, this grandmother temple village actually lives in adobe houses, as long as a very small number of people are very old-fashioned blue brick and blue tile houses, the roofs are overgrown with weeds, and many houses have exposed big holes, and it seems that no one has lived in them for a long time. In these yards, there are high and low locust bushes, and the weeds that should have appeared have not been seen.

The road in the village is very bad, almost all of them are mud ponds and puddles, we got out of the car and pushed it twice before we arrived at Brother Qiang's house, but his house was even more dilapidated, even the courtyard gate made of wood had rotted, one door had fallen to the ground, broken a few pieces, and the other door was still hanging on the door frame, but it was also crumbling.

Brother Qiang got out of the car a little distracted, and couldn't help but cry when he looked at his miserable situation: "It's been ten years, and a good home has become such a ......."

He pushed the door with his hand, and the entire frame of the door collapsed, along with the low walls around it.

I was a little strange: "Even if you don't come back for ten years, you shouldn't be broken like this." What is the reason for this? ”

Master Ding took off his sunglasses and said, "The yin qi is too heavy, just this weather, it's noon again, now we are in the sun, do you feel hot?" Yin Qi will cause items to deteriorate faster, and the more dilapidated they are, the more likely they are to produce dead qi. And the dead qi will aggravate the yin qi. Therefore, if you encounter a very cold place in the future, the item will deteriorate quickly, which is basically caused by too heavy yin qi. But it's rare for the whole village to be like this. ”

Mr. Qi stood on the crooked street and looked back and forth, and said a little strangely: "Just now, the car came in and kept honking, and now the courtyard wall has collapsed again, why don't any villagers come out?" Is there no one in this village? ”

I shook my head: "Probably not, if there is no one, what are you going to do with a road?" Let's take a look at Brother Qiang's house first, and let's find someone to ask later, this village is dilapidated like this, no wonder it is a poor village. ”

Brother Qiang walked to the courtyard, knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times to their house: "Daddy, I'm back." This time, we will definitely find out the cause of your death and let you rest in peace under the Nine Springs. ”

We went inside and it was so dark that we couldn't even see what was inside. We opened the door and opened the window, and then we saw that the room was fully furnished, but it was also dilapidated, the tables, chairs, and benches were all rotten, and even the walls were peeling off in large pieces, and there was a huge hole in the roof, I don't know how it was caused, and I even saw that the beams were broken.

Mr. Qi walked back and forth with a peachwood sword and tried to summon spirits, but he was busy for a long time and nothing. He looked at Brother Qiang and asked, "Qiangzi, did your father and mother die in this house?" ”

Brother Qiang nodded: "Yes, but their souls should have been recruited by the surrounding locust trees." Now, what do we do? ”

I was just about to speak when an old woman's voice sounded outside: "Who is this?" Is it Xiaoqiang? You haven't been back for so many years, and you came here as soon as you heard that the village was going to be demolished, you are so filial! ”

When we went out, we saw a rickety old lady standing in the doorway, her eyes staring at us, glowing with a gloomy light......
