Chapter 11: The Graveyard of the Shadow
We still ate this meal, after the meal, Captain Liu personally drove us back to the hotel, on the way he said: "Two gentlemen, although I still don't believe in these things, but I respect this line of work, you let Chen Shi open his mouth The way is eye-opening, I don't delve into it, you must be a secret that is not passed on, and I am also a long time to see." ”
Luo Sanshui and I smiled silently, although I didn't do anything, but I also got wet, and it was not easy to make the police respect.
After arriving at the hotel, Captain Liu asked for our contact information, saying that he might ask us for help in the future, and then said a few words to us before leaving.
Seeing us come back, the boss hurriedly greeted us and asked about the police coming to the back of the house last night to dig up the body, which scared them a lot, Luo Sanshui said that the matter was over to reassure them, and they were relieved.
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night this night, Luo Sanshui asked the boss and his family not to come out in the house, and then he opened the altar in the lobby and did a unique ritual.
After the incident, there was a gust of wind blowing in the hall, and the biting cold that blew on my body suddenly made me understand something, and I looked around nervously, but I didn't see anything.
After a while, the kitchen sounded the sound of frequent water droplets, Luo Sanshui came to the kitchen pool while chanting a mantra while beating the Taoist drum, cut his finger and dripped a drop of blood into the pool, the blood spilled in the pool, the water surface suddenly rippled, and a blurred image gradually appeared, only to see a woman in white holding a child who grew up, with her back to us.
"Song Aifang, you mother and son go slowly, Dao Ye didn't break his promise, what he promised you has been done, go on the road with peace of mind." Luo Sanshui smiled at the water.
The woman in white and the child turned their heads, and although their faces were pale, they were full of warm smiles, and people did not feel a trace of fear.
Mother and son didn't speak, maybe they couldn't speak, they just waved goodbye to us slowly, and then the image disappeared.
I sincerely admired Luo Sanshui's ability, and quipped: "Brother Shui, your ability is heavenly." ”
"It's just basics." Luo Sanshui walked out of the kitchen with a smile.
I asked him about the method he used in the criminal investigation team, Luo Sanshui said that this is called "please call the immortal soul", he invited the Daomen immortal to come up, called out Chen Shi's soul, the soul is afraid of the immortal, naturally everything is explained, I still want to ask what but Luo Sanshui stopped, he said: "Don't ask outsiders more, if you have a relationship with the Daomen, many things will naturally be known, go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow to hurry." ”
I had no choice but to go upstairs to sleep, and I slept very soundly that night.
I got up at three o'clock the next day, and I was startled downstairs, the lobby was full of people, several buses were parked at the door, and there was a long queue in the kitchen for meals, and the boss was very busy.
Luo Sanshui sat in the corner, squinting his eyes and looking at all this proudly, I leaned in and asked what was going on, Luo Sanshui smiled: "The boss changed the restaurant according to my method, and last night I did the magic again and went to the house to be angry, although the geographical location of the murderous house cannot be changed, but the yin and yang have formed a balance, and the boss and his family are blessed and prosperous, and it is normal for the guests to come like clouds." ”
After Luo Sanshui finished speaking, he picked up his travel bag, and I also packed my things and prepared to leave.
We didn't want to disturb the busy boss and his family, so we left without saying goodbye, and walked along the county road for a while before stopping the passing bus to Jiangzhou.
After a few hours of turbulence I returned to Xishan Village, far away I saw the ancestral house with a shed and a wreath, the sound of mourning melodious, I ran back for a moment, saw me come back with red eyes and put on a filial piety dress for me, I kowtowed in front of my grandfather's body, wiped two tears and was relieved.
I introduced Luo Sanshui to my father, and my father asked me how he said that he was with Master Luo when he called me, so I made up a reason, saying that I only knew when I met Luo Sanshui on the bus and chatted, and then the bus broke down in a remote place, which was delayed.
Dad turned to ask about Luo Sanshui's search for a cemetery.
Luo Sanshui was not ambiguous, took out the Dharma bag and hung it on his body, and was about to go up the mountain with the compass in one hand.
I blamed my dad for being a little unkind, and my dad explained that we had delayed for two days, and the auspicious day for the funeral was the day after tomorrow, and it took time to repair the grave.
Luo Sanshui smiled and said that it was not in the way, and asked me to go with him by name.
I took Luo Sanshui up the mountain, and on the way I introduced Luo Sanshui to the situation of the cemetery in the village.
Xishan Village is a conservative and backward village, after the government implemented cremation to protect the mountains and forests, it was still secretly buried, the old village chief was very helpless, and finally he thought of a way, that is, to circle a piece of land in the shade of the back mountain, and gather all the old graves and new graves in the village together, even if the delegation came to the inspection team, it was just a formality, and would not go to the back mountain to inspect at all, and the villagers agreed to the hardships of the old village chief.
"It's time for the old village chief to be shot!" After listening to my introduction, Luo Sanshui said unhappily.
"You don't need to be shot if you violate the policy, and the old village chief still does good things for the villagers." I said with a wry smile.
"It's a good thing, it's a thing." Luo Sanshui scolded.
Luo Sanshui's uncharacteristically foul language made me very puzzled, and he was about to ask him to speak: "As the old saying goes, if you are poor, you don't change your door and the rich don't move your grave, what you say is not to blindly move your grave, it can be seen how important it is to move your grave, there are many taboos in feng shui, just moving a grave is a big project, not to mention moving the grave collectively, if you don't have the guidance of a master, something big will happen!" ”
I was shocked when I heard this, and said: "It has been 96 years since the collective grave relocation in Xishan Village, and there has been no major incident until now. ”
"If there is a master to point out, it is impossible to choose the shady side of the back mountain." Luo Sanshui continued: "Brother, it is likely that the big thing I said has already been fulfilled in the village, but I just didn't notice it. ”
I wondered again, how could it be that if it was a big event, how could I not notice it?
"Although the cemetery is a shady place, but also need to see the sun, the back of the mountain in the shade of the four seasons do not see the sun, too much yin, will lead to the village of scarce men, women melancholy, do not believe you to check the village 96 years after the birth of the population information, to ensure that there are more women than men, this is a big thing that can not be perceived." Luo Sanshui said in a deep voice.
Indeed, no one pays attention to the ratio of male to female births in the village.
In the past two years, I have rarely returned to my hometown for work in other places, and the cemetery is just a childhood memory, and I frowned when I saw the cemetery.
It was dark and damp, the trees shaded the sky, the thorns and vines were everywhere, the strange rocks were all around, the graves were densely cultivated, the tombstones were full of moss, the crows were noisy in the trees and dispersed, and from time to time you could see rats and snakes passing through the graveyard, and it was a chill at noon.
At this time, there was another buzzing sound in the cemetery, and when I looked closely, I found that there was a large pillar behind the cemetery, and the sound came from the high-voltage substation box on the pillar.
Luo Sanshui's face changed when he saw this scene, and he looked at the cemetery blankly, and only came back to his senses after a while and said, "It seems that I have taken over a tricky business." ”
I also have a bad premonition, just this cemetery looks like a mass grave, how good can it be, muttering: "Brother Shui, then my grandfather's grave ......." ”
"Let me help your grandfather find a grave for the descendants of Fuyin in this field, it's impossible, it's not bad if you don't let your Fang family cut off." Luo Sanshui said.
I exclaimed, "What then?" On the day of the funeral, the village committee will also participate, and it will definitely not work if the funeral is buried elsewhere. ”
"Let's not talk about this for now, I want to figure out something, is the old village chief still there?" Luo Sanshui suddenly asked about the old village chief.
"If you ask him what he's doing, he's been dead for years." I replied.
"Where are you buried? Is it here too? Luo Sanshui pressed my shoulders and asked eagerly.
"I'm not here, I heard that his son made a fortune doing business in the city, and he got the old village chief to be buried in the city in a cemetery with a quiet environment." I say.
Luo Sanshui frowned deeply after hearing this, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "It's not good." ”
