Chapter 035: Grandpa
After the weasel was killed, there was yellow smoke on its body, and it dissipated in the air after a while, it was originally the ghost of Mrs. Meng, so Mrs. Meng's ghost was destroyed, and the body of Mrs. Meng lying next to her instantly stinked and purple, and the whole person's body collapsed downward, as if it had been run over by a truck.
Many people vomited at the venue, covered their noses and ran out of the yard.
Wu Zhenren saw such a scene and said: "The technique of resurrecting the soul through the corpse can rely on the ghost to absorb people's yang energy to keep one's body from rotting, but once the ghost dies, the body will naturally return to the extent it should have rotted." ”
Wu Zhenren was talking, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a piece of paper exposed in the arms of Mrs. Meng's body that had collapsed, and with a light mention of his fingers, the paper flew out of Mrs. Meng's arms and fell into his hand.
The paper was old, it looked old, the surface was yellowed, and there were small lines of compact writing on it with a brush, and I could vaguely see the words "Raising Corpses" written on the first line of the page. Unexpectedly, Wu Zhenren was shocked when he saw the content on the paper, his hands trembled a little and said, "Father's handwriting? ”
Before Wu Zhenren had time to take a closer look, the paper in his hand spontaneously ignited without fire, and a fire broke out with a bang, Wu Zhenren took a step back and glanced at a corner outside the courtyard wall of the village chief's house, and was about to chase after it, but Mrs. Meng's body also burst into flames.
Wu Zhenren felt that something was wrong, and the clear air that surrounded his hand was hard to see with the naked eye pressed towards Mrs. Meng's body, and the flames on Mrs. Meng's body were extinguished in an instant, but the clothes on her body were already scorched, and there was a burning paper on the underwear on her chest, Wu Zhenren took the half-burned paper into his hand, and the first line on the page said "Borrow the corpse to return the soul", but the paper was burned to pieces.
Wu Zhenren didn't look at the secret technique when he saw it, but looked at the back of this paper, his eyes were full of confusion, because on the back of this paper were written a few words: It is Yao Guangxiao's descendant.
The first half of the paper has been burned, and it is impossible to see who this descendant of Yao Guangxiao refers to, and the words written on the back of the page are obviously different from the front, and it is good to guess that it was written by Mrs. Meng.
Wu Zhenren crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it on Mrs. Meng's charred corpse, which immediately burst into flames again, and soon turned into ashes.
Wu Zhenren was obviously angry, he didn't say a word, his hands were attached behind his back, and then he floated lightly to the roof, and he didn't know where to jump in a few arrow steps.
The people in Wangjia Village were dumbfounded, Liu Quan and a group of little policemen beside him were also dumbfounded, and a small policeman touched Liu Quan and said, "Boss, the body has been burned, how can you explain?" ”
Liu Quan swallowed his saliva, looked at the place where Wu Zhenren disappeared, and said, "It's good that I didn't burn you." ”
After Wu Zhenren left, the people of Wangjia Village didn't dare to stay in the village chief's house and went home, Liu Quan looked at the puddle of corpse ashes on the ground and didn't know what he was thinking, and left after a while.
Wu Zhenren was angry when he left, I don't know if he was chasing the person who secretly burned the paper in his hand or going to do something else, I originally thought that except for Wu Zhenren in this world, no one would know Taoism anymore, and I still remember the trick he used to bring the scarecrow to life, but today there was a person who burned his father's handwriting under Wu Zhenren's nose.
On the back of the second page is written "is Yao Guangxiao's descendant", no one knows whose name should have been in front of this sentence, I was still young at the time, and I didn't even know who Yao Guangxiao was, and I didn't know what would happen if it was his descendant.
But I suddenly remembered what the village chief said before his death, when the coffin was pulled out of the old well, the village chief said: "The most famous thing in our Wangjia Village is the plane tree, but what is really frightening is this well, the secret of this well is not that no one knows, but everyone who knows is dead, and the Ming Dynasty was exterminated by a big official surnamed Yao!" ”
If what the village chief said is correct, then the official who came to our Wangjia Village hundreds of years ago was Yao Guangxiao? Why did he so cruelly exterminate the people of Wangjia Village, and why can the people of our Wangjia Village still reproduce here for generations?
I don't know any of this, and maybe I will never know again, because Wu Zhenren told my mother that I only had one month left to live.
When I got home, my mother's eyes were still a little red and swollen, she didn't speak, thinking I was unhappy, I asked my mother who Yao Guangxiao was, my mother had lived in a scholarly family since she was a child, maybe she would know.
Mother said: "A great official, politician, poet, monk, and strategist of the Ming Dynasty. ”
I thought for a moment and said, "What is a counselor?" ”
Mother said, "A person like Zhuge Liang is a strategist. ”
Zhuge Liang I have listened to his stories since I was a child, so I know that he is clever and knows almost everything, I said: "Then Yao Guangxiao is very powerful?" ”
The mother nodded and said, "Very powerful, I have assisted the emperor." ”
"Then why did he exterminate our Wangjia Village?" I continued to ask, if my grandfather is a descendant of Yao Guangxiao, then I am also a descendant of Yao Guangxiao, no matter whether we have changed our surname or not, as long as the ancestors are powerful, my little heart will also be proud, I just don't understand why such a powerful person would exterminate Wangjia Village.
Mother said: "Those are legends, when I was a child, your grandfather told me, saying that Yao Guangxiao is a strange person who is proficient in the essence of Buddhism and Taoism, the emperor saw that he was capable, so he let him go to sea to find the true dragon, Yao Guangxiao with thousands of soldiers and horses passed by us here I don't know why it stopped, our county is very close to the sea, it will not take a day to reach the sea, but Yao Guangxiao lived here, and also caught all the strong men in the village, saying that he was going to build something, and then I don't know why everyone disappeared overnight, Including Yao Guangxiao and those soldiers, the men in the village never came back, so it was rumored that Wangjia Village was wiped out by Yao Guangxiao. ”
I nodded, remembering the words of the village chief, and asked my mother, "Is it because of that old well?" ”
My mother was taken aback by my words, and I suddenly realized that my mother remembered my dead sister again, so I changed the subject to my mother and said, "Mom, I want to eat fish." ”
The mother nodded, rubbed her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll buy it." ”
After the mother finished speaking, she rode out of the door. Soon after my mother left, my grandfather's tall figure appeared in my sight, and I cried out as soon as I pouted, and I ran over and hugged my grandfather's leg and said, "Grandpa, where have you been, I thought you didn't want me anymore." ”
Since I was a child, my grandfather has always held me in the palm of my hand like a baby, but since the old tree in Wangjia Village was cut down, one strange thing after another happened, every time I encountered danger, my grandfather did not appear to me in time, no one can make me feel safer by my grandfather's side, every time I encounter difficulties, I will be the first to think of him, his strength, in my heart even more impressive than Wu Zhenren.
But now, the spearhead of one thing after another is pointed at my grandfather, the little policeman who offended him died in the soil of the phoenix corpse, Mrs. Meng's family was hanged by him on the beam of the house, and even my little friend Huzi asked me to be careful of my grandfather.
I also remembered why there was one less when Wu Zhenren attached twenty-eight souls to the scarecrow with spiritualism, why did my grandfather know that the scalpers came to me, how he knew in advance that there would be dead people in the old well, and there were too many doubts I wanted to know.
When Mrs. Meng turned into a weasel and wrote a king character on the ground, I kept praying in my heart that she didn't want to write the words "Wang Daosheng", but Liu Quan shot and killed the weasel.
Everyone can see that Liu Quan is my grandfather's person, and his intention to make a move could not be more obvious, that is, he doesn't want the weasel to write the name after the surname.
And just now, someone was able to burn the paper that recorded the secret art under the nose of Wu Zhenren, in Wangjia Village, is there anyone more mysterious and powerful than grandpa?
If Yao Guangxiao's descendants refer to my grandfather, who is the sinner who once wiped out Wangjia Village, what about my father and me?
I don't understand any of that.
Grandpa picked me up and didn't say anything, he just looked at my gray hair and felt a little sad.
Grandpa carried me through the grove to the west of the village, and saw that the field was full of outsiders, all of them were holding black cloth bags in their hands, and they didn't know what was wrapped in the cloth bag.
These outsiders have been on the outskirts of Wangjia Village for almost a year, and I have never seen them get together like today, and I have a vague feeling that maybe something will happen tonight.
But I was no longer curious, and I looked at my aging skin, and my chin rested on my grandfather's shoulder, a little lost.
"Grandpa, I'm dying."
Grandpa didn't turn his head to look at me, but kept walking forward, and he said, "You won't die, my grandson Wang Daosheng, and the king of Hades won't want his life." ”
