Wang lame is the shoemaker in our village, in the past, our thick-soled cotton shoes mother will not sew will be taken to Wang lame sew, Wang lame rely on this craft to live a good life, his mother-in-law is a little abnormal, barely able to work in the field, plus they also have a stupid big son, so Wang lame's death undoubtedly made the family worse.

When a group of us entered, Wang's lame mother-in-law was sitting on the ground crying, and his stupid son was wiping tears from his eyes. Wang Cripple's son's real name is Wang Mingming, fifteen years old this year, because he is five big and three thick, and his mind is not bright, so everyone calls him Dasha.

Dasha saw me following my grandfather, he wiped his tears and ran over and said, "Boss, my father is dead." ”

The reason why Dasha called me Boss was because once he was beaten by a group of friends, and I knocked out two of them when I took the bricks and went up, and a group of people were so frightened by me that they ran away, and since then Dasha has especially admired me and called me Boss.

But then Dasha told me that the reason why he admired me so much was not because I could fight, but because I was the only one who knew his name was Wang Mingming.

I was very short at the time, so Dasha could only half-kneel in front of me when he talked to me, and I stroked Dasha's head and said in a milky voice, "Dasha, don't cry." ”

Dasha nodded and stood aside obediently.

Wu Zhenren glanced at the lame man Wang who was lying on the bamboo recliner, snorted and said, "Sure enough!" ”

"Wu Zhenren, how do you see this cripple died?" Liu Quan asked bluntly.

Wu Zhenren said: "Scared to death, Yang Shou has not lost his soul, the king of Hades does not come to the ghost, look at the mold left by this yin soul is a fat man, who is the fat man among those who died?" ”

Grandpa said: "It is Chen Santian who takes the lead, and he is the only one who is fat." ”

"That's going to do it." Wu Zhenren was talking, there was a car horn outside the door, before everyone went out to take a look, a group of people in suits and leather shoes walked quickly, they saw my grandfather, a brother screamed, called a kind.

The expression on Grandpa's face was a little vivid, and he said with a smile: "Yo, they are all county leaders, this old brother can't be called casually, I'm just a small village official, how can I afford it?" ”

A man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old said with a ashamed face: "Brother Wang, you don't remember the villain, we really shouldn't cut down the tree in Wangjia Village, it was a few of us who discussed asking Chen to come to Wangjia Village to cut down the tree for three days, and now he is dead, and he comes to ask for his life every night!" ”

"Ouch hey! Speak well, Director Jiang, don't bluff like this, my eldest grandson is still listening to it! Frightened! Grandpa glanced at the man who spoke and said angrily. I remember that you were still the director of the Cultural Bureau, how about taking the lead in feudal superstition? Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" I muttered and pointed at Director Jiang.

"What do adults talk about, children interject!" Grandpa glared at me with a smile in his eyes.

"Brother Daosheng, listen to me, what Xiao Jiang said is true, a few of us have the same dream every day these days, I dreamed that Chen San's little king and eight calves led a group of people to surround us and want us to die, this is my oldest, brother, please, save us!" An old leader with gray hair who had already bowed his head spoke in a sad tone and burst into tears.

"Don't don't, brother, you've opened your mouth, I, Wang Daosheng, if I can save it, won't I save it? But I have to nag you a few words, when the educated youth went to the countryside, you thought about cutting down that tree, and the Japanese didn't dare to cut that tree, you don't think you have to cut it down, and now it's finally cut down, and you came to me when something happened, why did you go earlier? ”

"Brother, it's our fault that we cut down the tree without consulting you, but we were all born in New China, grew up under the red flag, and the four old Duan Er defeated all the cows, ghosts, gods and snakes without accidents, who knows if something can happen now?"

"If we had known that it was so evil, how would we have the courage to move that tree!"

Grandpa snorted and said, "The reason why there was no accident back then was because there was nothing that shouldn't have been moved!" I'm just a local doctor, not a god, where do I have the ability to help you catch ghosts? ”

When a group of people heard Grandpa say this, they were not in a hurry, like ants on a hot pot.

"Brother, it's all here, why don't you save you when you die, our brothers are not thin on you, how many people reported and exposed you as a bandit in Shandong, but we stopped a few of us......"

Grandpa hugged the old leader and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to save you, but I really can't do anything, can't you see a living immortal in front of me?" ”

A group of people followed Grandpa's gaze and looked at Wu Zhenren, who was thin and gray-haired, and all showed a ghostly expression.

"I've been looking at it for a long time, is it really Wu Zhenren who left Wangjia Village thirty years ago? Wu Shenxian is still alive! When one of them had finished speaking, he bowed.

Where do the rest of the people dare to stand, without saying a word, they kneel down and kowtow, this meeting can frighten a group of young people who came with the leaders, you must know that these leaders are the oldest veterans in the county, either the director or the number one person in the county, but these leaders actually knelt down when they saw this old man regardless of their face?

"Wu Zhenren, back then, we couldn't live with your old man." Director Jiang, who was in his fifties, knelt in front of Wu Zhenren like a child.

Wu Zhenren sighed and said: "Get up, the general trend of the world is just that, if you don't slaughter all living beings, it's no wonder you." It is also thanks to you that you later repaired the Taoist temple for me, so that I escaped the current catastrophe. When I was leaving, I told me not to cut down this tree, but Chen still cut it down in three days, which was his life. ”

When Wu Zhenren was saying, "This is his life", I suddenly remembered that my grandfather also whispered like this on the day Chen Santian cut down the tree seven days ago: "This is his life." ”

After many years, I understood the meaning of this sentence, Chen Sandai cut down the tree, that was Chen Sansan's life, the old tree was cut down is the life of the old tree, the phoenix in the tree suffered the life of the phoenix, and the death of the little policeman who dug up the phoenix's corpse is also fate, the same way, these culprits who should have paid for their lives met Wu Zhenren on the first seven days of Chen Sansan's gang, and it was also their fate.

Liu Quan, a policeman who had been following his grandfather, asked at this time: "Wu, Wu Zhenren, what is going on with all this, how did those twenty-seven people die, and my nephew also died, and the matter has not been found out at all, and another lame man died today!" Is it really a ghost killing? ”

Wu Zhenren said: "It is true that there are ghosts who kill people, but ghosts only kill one person, that is the lame king, this is the reason why I went out of the mountain, otherwise the taboo in Wangjia Village will cause people to die, and my little old man will not be able to take action, especially the matter of the phoenix." ”

"Could it be that the monster in the plane tree is really a phoenix?!" Grandpa was surprised.

Wu Zhenren waved his hand and said, "I don't know if it's a phoenix, anyway, that's what my father told me." ”

At that time, Wu Zhenren's father and several colleagues went to Kunlun Mountain to find the phoenix's nest at the secret order of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

The phoenix is a sacred bird, and it is rumored that this phoenix is the last one in the world, and some people can't bear to kill it and want to release it, but their wives and children are holding it in Cixi's hands, and a group of people quarrel and fight.

The phoenix took the opportunity to escape, flew thousands of miles, and finally fell exhausted on the plane tree in Wangjia Village, this phoenix has lived for an unknown number of years, the road is not shallow, and wants to be reborn with the sycamore branch, but God does not let it live, but it rained heavily at that time, and the group of Taoist priests who were in hot pursuit also happened to chase after him, and the phoenix saw that he could not escape death, and simply attracted his own catastrophe and wanted to die with the group of Taoist priests who chased him.

The group of Taoist priests thought that the phoenix had become a robbery, and they dispersed in frustration, but none of them could have imagined that the plane tree carried the thunder fire for the phoenix, and the injured phoenix did not die at all, but hid in the ancient plane tree.

"As I said before, the phoenix is about to give birth, but any spirit spirit, once pregnant, will be jealous, its body is not good enough to give birth to the little phoenix when it is too seriously injured, and finally gave birth to a bunch of stillbirths. It was too late for my father to find out, otherwise the phoenix vein would not have become extinct. The phoenix survived because of the sycamore tree, and in the end, it coincidentally died because the sycamore tree died inside, and it was trapped inside and couldn't get out at all. Once this supernatural thing has a resentment before death, the corpse will not rot after death, and finally it will become a phoenix corpse, Chen three days did not know whether he was dead or alive and cut down the tree, and even those lumberjacks also suffered together, and then who knew that there was a little policeman whose brain was caught by the door to dig up the corpse soil, or how could foreigners say that curiosity killed the cat. ”

As soon as Wu Zhenren said this, Liu Quan, who was listening next to him, cried, and said in his mouth: "I just said that this kid's inquiring temperament must hurt him, he didn't listen to anything, and finally put his life into it!" ”

"Back then, my father told him that the plane tree was put down by him, and even if the phoenix corpse wanted to kill people, he could only kill people within three feet of it, otherwise Wangjia Village would have already become a ghost village. is also a primate, and people are cut off from the phoenix, and the phoenix killing a few people can be regarded as karma. It's a pity that the phoenix corpse is about to be reincarnated after a hundred years of cultivation, the tree was cut down, and the phoenix corpse died when it saw the wind, it was the last phoenix in heaven and earth! ”
