What I said earlier was told to me by my master, and he specially reminded me at that time that it is not difficult for compassion to overflow, and to give away one's underwear to others at will, let alone to hear people I don't know calling out their names and agreeing at will.

However, it is rarely used to drive raw piles now, after all, killing people is not the same as before, and now killing people is to pay for their lives.

Just as I was about to speak, Cheng Yuanzhi, who had been sleeping on the bed, spoke, "I said Lao Qi, you let him do this, isn't this a trick for the little brother." ”

I didn't expect Cheng Yuanzhi to know about it.

Zhang Qishan's face immediately became a little embarrassed, and he said hesitantly, "Isn't there no way, if the matter is not resolved in one day, one person will die in our village every fifteenth day of the new year." ”

"When I saw Taiping for the first time, I knew that he was a capable person, and it should be providence that I met him."

Hearing Zhang Qishan's words, I couldn't help laughing, he actually said this matter so freshly and refinedly. However, in my heart

"Mr. Zhang, you might as well talk about it first. If I can do it, I'll definitely go back. "I have promised Zhang Qishan to help him do one thing before, even if this matter is dangerous, I can't talk about it.

"Taiping, don't call me Mr. Zhang, it seems that we are angry, you can just call me Uncle Zhang." Zhang Qishan said.

"If you call him Uncle Zhang, call me Uncle Cheng." Cheng Yuanzhi said on the side.

I couldn't help but laugh in my heart, these two old men are really interesting, when is this happening, and they are still joking.

Zhang Qishan roughly told the matter, it turned out that there was a bridge in their village, which was built back then. The bridge could not be repaired in any way, and the village chief thought of a way to drive piles.

"At that time, there were constant wars and famines, and many people could not eat, so they had to go out to beg for food.

As soon as the nine people listened to the food and shelter and returned the money, they followed at that time. After coming, the village chief used these nine people to drive raw piles, and their souls were trapped in the water. ”

"It's not this year, a family in the village has made a fortune, thinking that the bridge in the village is a little old, and he is preparing to build a new bridge."

"He directly invited the construction team to repair a new bridge, and not long after the new bridge was built, the old bridge collapsed."

Hearing him say this, I probably understood that the old bridge had collapsed, and the ghost that was crushed under the bridge was released.

At that time, they were driven into raw piles, and they could not be reincarnated under water, and they could not move when pressed. They have suffered in the water for so many years, and their grievances are not to mention that they are also very heavy. Now that it has finally been released, how can they not retaliate against the people in the village.

"Back then, my grandfather was the village chief, and when he was looking for those nine people, he showed them their faces, and those nine people were all dying people." Speaking of this, Zhang Qishan sighed, "Anyway, it's also a sin." Zhang Qishan said hatefully, "When I left the village, I told the village chief that I must be optimistic about the bridge. Who knows if he doesn't take it seriously, thinking I'm talking nonsense, now it's okay, the old bridge collapsed, the matter came out, and they came to me again. ”

"I invited everything I could, but those unjust souls were so powerful that the people I invited either couldn't do it, or were injured." Zhang Qishan sighed and said.

I pondered for a moment and said, "It's not just that the bridge can't be repaired." ”

This pile is generally only used when the bridge is built, and generally one or two people are used, and even if the river in front of a village is used, it will not use nine people, which is a little wrong.

When Zhang Qishan heard my words, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he hesitated, "That's true, I didn't expect to be guessed by you." ”

"Our family's fortune-telling skills are passed down from our ancestors, and my grandfather calculated that there will be a ghost gate in our village, and when the ghost door is opened, our village will be over. In order to keep the village, my grandfather had to think of a way to repair the bridge, and use the Yang Bridge to suppress the Yin Bridge. Then those sneaky people will find another place. ”

I nodded, that's it.

Zhang Qishan's grandfather's decision back then killed nine innocent lives, and even if they were dying people, it would not be his turn to take their lives. However, on the other hand, if he doesn't build the Yang Bridge, after the ghost gate is opened, this place will be ruined, and I am afraid that this village will no longer exist now. He saved the lives of the entire village with the lives of nine dying men. If you say it wrong, you can only blame the society at that time.

"My grandfather killed nine lives, our family suffered retribution, my father died at a young age, my son died young, and my grandson was born blind. I lost my wife early, and my son died early, leaving me with a blind little grandson. Even if there is a mistake, this retribution should not be enough. Speaking of this, Zhang Qishan sighed heavily, "This is our family's debt, I admit it, but the people in the village are innocent." ”

After listening to Zhang Qishan's story, I didn't speak for a while.

"Taiping, if you have a way to help Lao Zhang, you can help, but your own life is still important." Cheng Yuan's way.

The purpose of my descent this time is the old grave under my house, but with my current ability, there is no way to deal with the things in the old grave, I need to experience, the so-called experience is experience and exercise, as long as I experience more things, I can further improve myself. Zhang Qishan's matter is obviously a very tricky matter, but it is also an opportunity for me, if I can handle this matter well, I may be able to improve a notch. Moreover, we can't watch the tragic death of innocent people, they have nothing to do with the events of the past, and the people who built the bridge back then have now returned to dust and dust.

"Okay, I'll take a look." I said.

"Great, Taiping, it's great that you can promise." Zhang Qishan said excitedly.

I counted the days, today is thirteen, there are two days before the fifteenth, today is not early, I can't get over, I asked Zhang Qishan to come and pick me up tomorrow.

Zhang Qishan left happily, and Cheng Yuanzhi said that he would also go with me. He can't let me die, or his house will be left unrepaired.

I naturally understand that Cheng Yuanzhi wants to help me.

I went to the street to buy yellow paper and brushes, and spent the whole afternoon in my room drawing talismans. Drawing a talisman may seem simple, but in fact, it takes a lot of effort to draw each talisman. So I can only draw three or four pictures a day, and if I have more, it will hurt my body.

Cheng Yuanzhi was cross-legged on the side, looking like he was resting with his eyes closed. I knew in my heart that looking at him seemed to be recuperating his spirit, and maybe his soul had left his body.

It wasn't until late afternoon that Cheng Yuanzhi spoke, "What are we going to eat at night?" ”

Hearing him say that he wanted to eat, I remembered that Bai Weide gave me a lot of money before, and I originally planned to use this money to thank Cheng Yuanzhi. As soon as Zhang Qishan came today, he forgot about it.

I took out the thick wad of money from the cupboard, "This money is to thank you for helping Meimei." ”

"Don't you still want to help me repair the Yin House, we don't owe each other anything." Cheng Yuanzhi did not take the money.

Seeing that he didn't accept the money, I laughed, "If you don't want this money, I'll donate it directly tomorrow." ”

Hearing me say this, Cheng Yuanzhi hurriedly said, "Don't, if you donate, then I will accept it, I need a lot of money to build the Yin House." ”

"That's okay, you accepted the money, I don't have any money now, you invited you to dinner today." I said.

After a while, Manhe came back from work, I told him to go out to eat, Cheng Yuanzhi had a treat, and Manhe was naturally very happy.

This time, Cheng Yuanzhi found a good restaurant, and we ordered six dishes and wine.

When I was almost done, I told Man He that I had to leave for a few days tomorrow to run some errands. Man He heard that I was leaving and asked me when I would be back.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "It depends, this is not good, maybe I won't come back for a while." ”

I've been in Haicheng for a while, and I'm going down the mountain to practice, so I can't stay in this place all the time. What I think is that when Zhang Qishan's affairs are finished and I help Cheng Yuanzhi repair the Yin Mansion, I will leave Haicheng and go to other places.

Hearing me say that I might not come back, Man He's expression suddenly became a little depressed. I picked up my beer and said to Manhe, "When you get married, I'll be sure to come back for a wedding drink." ”

"Well, it's a word, you have to say it." Man He picked up the bottle and touched it with me.

Early the next morning, Zhang Qishan came to pick us up. He hired a car and pulled us directly to the village he was talking about.

When I entered the village, the doors of every house were tightly closed, and the whole village seemed unusually quiet.

"Many people in the village were scared and moved away, and now there are only some lonely old people who can't leave."

"Even if they leave, they won't be able to escape." Zhang Qishan sighed and said.

We followed Zhang Qishan to a house, which was very dilapidated because it had fallen into disrepair.

"This is my house, no one has lived in it for a long time, the house is a little dilapidated, let's live together." Zhang Qishan said with some embarrassment.

We didn't come here for tourism, just have a place to live, I used to be in the Taoist temple, and the place where I lived was worse than here, I didn't care. Cheng Yuan's house is not much better, and the clothes he wears are also sloppy, and he doesn't care anymore.

Inside, the room was very neat except for the dust.

I helped Zhang Qishan clean up, while Cheng Yuanzhi stood in the courtyard and looked out of the door.

Soon, the house was cleaned, we packed up our things, and then Zhang Qishan said to take us to see the bridge.

The bridge was at the head of their village, half of it had been torn down, and half of it was still there, but it was already in tatters.

Not far from this old bridge there is a new bridge, which looks new and spectacular. It's a stark contrast to the old bridge.

I drew a line with the fingers of my right hand in Yintang, looked into the water, and it didn't matter, my heart contracted suddenly, and the whole surface of the water was black and evil. At the same time, it was faintly as if there were many pairs of eyes staring at us underwater. It's as if if we get any closer, something under the water will suddenly reach out and pull us, so to speak, the river is full of resentment.

I subconsciously looked up at the sky, the sun was still shining on the road we came here just now, but at this moment, the sky was overcast, and the clouds were getting thicker and thicker.

"How's that, are you sure?" Cheng Yuanzhi looked at me and asked.

I shook my head and didn't speak again. From what I just felt, this matter is very tricky.
