Chapter 16: Corpse Poison
When Village Chief Li heard this, his face changed, and he said with a gloomy face: "Uncle, you can't talk nonsense, our village is all honest people, very simple, how can there be any bad luck!" There's a reason why this land isn't for sale! THE LAND ... This is the ancestral graveyard of many families in our village, so naturally we can't forget this! If you fall in love with our village, other places are easy to say, this land will definitely not be sold! ”
Grandpa didn't say more, just turned his head to look at the villagers in the village, Xiao Liang seemed to know something, saw the displeasure of Village Chief Li, and hurriedly said: "What Uncle Li said is that we can't forget our roots no matter when we arrive!" So what ... You see, it's noon, so let's eat first! ”
Village Chief Li's face softened at this time, and he led us towards the brigade in the village! The village brigade is now the village committee, at that time the countryside was called the brigade, and there were no extra houses in the village, so we were arranged to live in the brigade first, Zhu Feng's father and daughter's pure Beijing accent and extraordinary speech and demeanor did not make the villagers suspicious, they all thought it was luck, and the village chief Li also arranged for someone to prepare a table of wine and food, although it was an ordinary home-cooked food, but at that time that situation was rare!
even arranged two young people to accompany them, this meal was drunk until the evening, during the banquet grandpa signaled to the third uncle to set up the words of village chief Li and the two to accompany them, although the three of them were drunk, but they were still vague about the matter of the woods, and did not say anything!
It wasn't until after the dispersal that Xiao Liang couldn't help but ask his grandfather why he was so concerned about that forest, grandpa paused, showed a meaningful smile, and said: "This Sanlizuka Village is quite unlucky, and it is sandwiched between two ancient tombs, it must be a little unusual, if you know something, to be honest, it may help us in the next step!" ”
"Hey! Old man, there is nothing unusual about this village, but the forest is very evil, and people have died! said that he saw a female ghost inside, and he was scared to death on the spot! Who doesn't know the strangeness of the willow forest in this ten miles and eight towns! And what Village Chief Li said is also the truth, the forest is indeed where the ancestral graves of several surnames in the village are located, since that incident, the people in their village have said that there are tomb robbers who have shocked their ancestral graves, and there are still people guarding them every night! Let's not provoke it, we might as well get down to business tonight! Third brother, where is the tomb in the village? ”
The third uncle and the grandfather glanced at each other, and now they can only find some secrets in Xiao Liang's mouth, the third uncle had no choice but to tell Xiao Liang the real destination of this trip, according to Liu Xuan, after the three miles of mounds, through a willow forest, the thief hole they dug was behind a well house!
Now it seems that it is this forest, but at the moment this forest is afraid that it is not easy to enter, but if you go from other directions, you will have to bypass the big river, at least a dozen miles away, so that the distance back and forth alone is enough for everyone to toss, let alone go to the tomb!
Xiao Liang listened, but his face was full of embarrassment: "Third brother! Old man, as the saying goes, you are afraid of water from afar, and you are afraid of ghosts from afar! You don't know how powerful that forest is, there are not a few people who have died in that forest over the years! Several times to call the police, the police came and had no clue, hastily ended, this is a famous murderous place around, do we have to pass through this willow forest? ”
"There are no ghosts in this world! It's mostly people! Those who died, I am afraid that they were also poisoned! In my opinion, the bad luck of the forest is not as deep as this village! If I'm right, this village shouldn't be prosperous, right? ”
Grandpa's sudden words made us all a little surprised, and Xiao Liang was even more surprised: "Old man, you... Are you truly divine? Can you see that? ”
According to Xiaoliang, nine out of ten of the villagers in Sanlizun are infertile, even if some have children in the second marriage, it is extremely rare to marry to the village, so the children in the village are basically bought or given by others!
In that era, family planning was extremely strict, coupled with the preference for sons over daughters, so I was the only one in my family, and some people would give it away if they couldn't afford to raise it, or sell it to others, this kind of thing was naturally behind people's backs, one was afraid of being denounced, and the other was also afraid that there would be too many rumors and rumors, and the children would have to go back when they grew up!
Although the surrounding villagers also know, they have always avoided talking about this kind of thing, after all, some of them are still related to the villagers of Sanlizuka, and it is difficult for their relatives to start a family if they spread it, and besides, they are also afraid of the retaliation of the people of Sanlizuka!
Xiao Liang didn't want to reveal this matter at first, but he didn't want to be seen by his grandfather, and at this moment he looked at my grandfather with a straight look in his eyes, and said: "It's been a decade or two since I talked about this, and I also heard it... ”
Xiao Liang then told all the strangeness of Sanlizuka over the years, as far as he knew, more than ten years ago, there were villagers in the willow forest to burn paper to sweep the tombs of the ancestors, but found a tomb robber, that guy was blind, full of embarrassment, but at first the villager did not notice that he was a tomb robber, see him pitiful and took him back to the village, and also treated him, afterwards the man left a few silver ingots and left!
At that time, the rural people were still relatively vague about the tomb robbery, and they didn't care about the things in the tomb, the most typical thing was the copper coin, some villagers even turned out some copper coins when hoeing, some would take it home to tie the shuttlecock to the child to play, and some thought it was unlucky and threw it away! At that time, it was also very common for outsiders to walk the streets and alleys to collect ancient money.
So the villager got a few silver ingots and didn't care, but since then, infertility has spread in the village, and the long-term treatment has been fruitless, and the people in the village have found some warlocks, and the words of the warlocks are all saying that there are unclean things in this village, and the villagers have given him all the antiquities before, but the matter has not improved!
It reminded the villager of the tomb robber, and at this time, he thought that it must be the bad luck brought out by the tomb robber, and he found it in the forest that day, so he thought that the tomb robber had robbed their ancestral tomb, which shocked the ancestors and wanted to cut off their queen!
Since then, the willow forest has been protected by the people of the village, during which some curious and bold people have to enter the forest, and all of them die without exception! The rumors are all the same, all of them say that they saw a female ghost in the forest!
It is only in recent years that this forest has become more peaceful, and the children in the village have gradually increased, so that the villagers have stricter care of this ancestral grave, so the village chief Li is reluctant to talk about it!
I waited for my eyes to meet after listening, but I tacitly understood it! The tomb robber, I'm afraid it's Liu Shuan who escaped death! At this moment, this so-called shocking ancestors seems to us to be really funny! However, Xiao Liang is convinced of this! Still persuading my grandfather.
My grandfather pinched the cigarette in his hand, got up and looked out the window, and said, "It's true that it will be broken, but the bad luck is not in this forest!" ”
After that, my grandfather looked down in the house, tore off a reed from the broom on the side, and said to me, "Tianguan! Get some well water! ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly took the gourd scoop, and pressed the well water in the yard, and my grandfather took the reed pole and led everyone directly to the road outside the brigade, which was facing the woods in the distance, and my grandfather took the water scoop and splashed the water on the ground, and then soaked the reed pole in the water and wet it thoroughly, and then touched some cinnabar from his arms and sprinkled it on the reed!
As I watched, Grandpa took out a match and pointed it towards the reed! The soaked reed was set on fire in an instant! And the fire is still quite fierce, soaring up more than half a meter high, but the color of the flame is indescribably weird, saying that green is not green, saying that blue is not blue, and it is accompanied by a pungent smell, so that we can't help but hold our breath!
Xiao Liang was already shocked at this moment, and stammered: "Old... Old man! You... Are you godly? This... This... This...! ”
"Nothing! Corpse poison! It has nothing to do with this forest! ”
Grandpa raised his foot and stepped on the reed pole, leading everyone towards the house, Zhu Qingyun couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa Zheng, you really can't explain it with science, is the infertility in this village related to the so-called corpse poison?" ”
Grandpa nodded and said: "The broom is dedicated to sweeping the haze, naturally it has to be stained with some obscure gas, the water leads to the earth's veins, the wells in this village are all groundwater, and then burn it with cinnabar, if there is a gloomy atmosphere, it will naturally appear!" Looking at the situation of Fang Cai, there must be no doubt that the corpse is poisonous! The corpse poison went deep into the ground along the river, and the people in the village drank the well water, and over time they lost their children! ”
"Corpse poison! Dad, didn't Liu Xuan say that the things in the tomb had been removed by them? Besides, if it's really corpse poison, don't you just let people poison you? ”
The third uncle's question is also what we are thinking, grandpa explained: "If it is direct contact with the corpse poison, it will naturally be killed on the spot, now it seems that there are still strange in the tomb, the corpse poison is strong, diluted by the river water, it can still have this effect, this corpse poison should be extraordinary, this trip, I am afraid it will not be peaceful!" ”
Corpse poison is yin poison, so after arriving at the Sanli Tomb, the man is poisoned, the yang energy is gradually declining, and the female yin energy is too strong, and they are not able to have children, which is also in line with Zhou Yi and the way of balance of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine! This is also one of the situations in which many men and women who are unable to have children today have not been able to find out the cause, they are all infected with something! If Chinese medicine can't get rid of it, then you can only try to change the head of the bed, change the bedroom, or even change the house and other methods to change your luck! Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there is also a saying of joy, all of which have their basis!
However, this matter is not absolute, if you have good luck and fate, you can also resist!
The third uncle saw the hesitation in his grandfather's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Dad, since we all know that there is corpse poison, we can't ignore it!" This is already a scourge, besides, this is all a disaster caused by your ancestors, and our old Zheng family is naturally duty-bound! ”
"This..."
Grandpa thought it was an empty tomb, so he agreed to come with us, but now there must be something wrong in this tomb, he doesn't want to make taboos, make enemies with his ancestors, and self-determination! But it can't stand our expectant gaze, the matter has come to this, human life is at stake, this matter is also a good thing, grandpa nodded after all, and said: "Then tonight, let's explore whether this willow forest can be passed!" If you take a detour, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get things done! ”
When Xiao Liang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Old man, just go around, it's a big deal, let's do it during the day, don't go to this forest!" ”
"Humph! Daytime! I'm afraid to die faster during the day! This is the rule of the ages, only at night can you observe the celestial phenomena, even if there is an accident in the night, it is just stiff! Persist until dawn to have vitality, if the day changes, it is evil! I'm afraid that even if we and others add up, it will be difficult to deal with! ”
Xiao Liang was helpless and looked at my third uncle, and my third uncle patted him on the shoulder: "If you don't dare, lead people away, I'll go and explore first!" ”
"Look at what I said, what am I afraid of, third brother! I'm just a little worried about what you've stained! Then listen to the third brother, go and explore it tonight! ”
Xiao Liang reluctantly agreed, and the third uncle tied the Luoyang shovel that was split into two pieces behind his back, and wanted to set off, but my grandfather stopped him and said:
"Wait! Bring the Heavenly Officer! ”
