The man's face full of vicissitudes and sorrow trembled slightly, and his lips trembled and said, "Are you Taiping?" ”

I had already guessed who the man in front of me was, but I didn't know what to say for a while, and when he asked me, I nodded lightly and gave a sigh.

The man pulled a chair over a little at a loss, wiped it on it with his sleeve and said, "You sit." ”

I hesitated before sitting down, and the man pulled a chair and sat down.

The two big men sat facing each other like this, I really didn't know what to say, he should be the same as me, and the atmosphere was suddenly awkward.

For a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "Have you eaten?" ”

I sighed slightly and said, "I've seen your picture on the wall at home, and grandpa and grandma have often looked at your picture and wept for so many years. ”

"Why don't you go home after all these years, don't you go home to see your grandparents......" I really want to ask him, does he hate me so much, if he really hates me so much, why does he still call this shop Taiping Paper Shop.

The man in front of me is my father, who has been missing for more than 20 years, and I have very mixed feelings at this moment. I can't say hate or love, he is stranger to me than a stranger.

I can't call him dad now, so I'll replace it with his name Chen Shu for the time being.

Chen Shu's eyes began to redden, and the corners of his mouth twitched and said, "When your mother died strangely, and you were a ghost, I felt that God was too unfair to me, I couldn't accept this reality in my heart, and ran out of the house." ”

"I was not convinced, why did God do this to me. I've never done anything bad in my life, and I've never harmed anyone, so why did my daughter-in-law drown in a puddle of water......"

Chen Shu paused, relieved some of his excitement, and continued, "I went to ask the monks and Taoist priests while I was working, and they all told me that the destiny of heaven was inviolable, but I didn't believe it, and then I accidentally met a master, and he asked me to follow him to cultivate. ”

"I stayed in the mountains for more than 20 years, and when I came back home, I realized that my family had left the village. Manhe's father told me everything about the family, and I learned everything that happened in the family. ”

"Later, your master found me, and he said that he would arrange for us to meet."

Chen Shu recounted the past, and his eyes regained calm at the moment.

"What do you think about the events of that year now?" I asked.

Chen Shu was silent for a moment and said, "Cause and effect." ”

I smiled when I heard him say the word cause and effect, and then asked, "What was the cause of the incident back then, it was my grandfather who built the house without believing in evil, so why are you all right, but it happened to me?" ”

"You'll find out slowly." Chen Shu said faintly.

He knew what he meant, but he probably wouldn't tell me for the time being, so I won't continue to ask.

The two of them had nothing to say for a while, and I stood up, "We've met in person, I'm leaving." ”

"Wait." Chen Shu stopped me, "I have two things to say to you. ”

Hearing him say this, I stopped, my face was facing the direction of the door, and Chen Shu said behind me, "I want to go and see your grandparents, can you arrange it?" ”

"It's inconvenient to disclose where they live now for the time being, I'll let you know when I'm in touch with that side." It was inconvenient for outsiders to enter that place, so naturally I couldn't take him with me casually, as long as I asked for the permission of the other side, I could only take him there.

Chen Shu said yes, he waited for my news, and he left me to eat with him. I refused, I really didn't want to see two people sitting together and eating awkwardly.

Leaving the incense and candle shop, I walked down the street in a daze. When I was a child, I saw other people's children being protected by their parents after being wronged, and I longed for father's love very much. But now that I'm older, that longing in my heart is gone.

Before I knew it, it was already dark, and I also left Qingshui County to a small mountain villa.

"Flash, flash." While my mind was thinking, someone in front of me shouted loudly.

I looked up sharply, and saw a person running towards me like crazy, not a person to be exact, because the lower part of his face had become a very strange cat face, a dark cat face, he grabbed the ground on all fours, glanced at it with very strange eyes, and then habitually stretched out his tongue and licked it on his lips.

I immediately realized that the person in front of me was a corpse, and that his appearance was caused by a cat. After a person dies, if a cat touches a person's corpse, it will cheat the corpse, which has been practiced since ancient times.

The corpse-transformed cat-faced man had already lunged at me, blood pouring out of his gaping mouth, and it looked like he had hurt someone.

"Look for death." I said coldly.

Hearing my roar, the cat-faced man must have felt fear, and his body took a few steps back.

I took a step forward, and the cat-faced man took a few steps back, his body trembling a little.

He took out a piece of talisman paper from his pocket and snapped it directly on the cat-faced man's forehead, and the cat-faced man immediately stopped moving. Now I am as simple as a college student doing one plus one equals two.

At this time, a group of people gathered around, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, some with knives, some with sticks, and some with buckets in their hands. There was a foul smell of fishy smell in that barrel, and you smell of dog blood.

"Young man, are you alright?" The old man at the head looked at me and said.

"It's okay, it's from your village." I asked.

"Well, it's a corpse." The old man glanced at the cat-faced man lying motionless on the ground, then looked at me again, and said suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”

This old man has some eyesight, and he should have seen that I am not an ordinary person. I smiled and said, "Daoist." ”

"No wonder, no wonder he's afraid of you." The old man nodded.

At this time, two men in filial clothes rushed out of the crowd, and they came to me and knelt down. This scene made me a little confused.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I quickly ducked to the side.

"Master, please help." One of the men cried.

"What do you want me to help with?" I asked.

"Please, please save my dad." The man cried.

"Your father?" I looked at the cat-faced man lying on the ground suspiciously, and said, "You mean him?" The man nodded.

"He's dead, he's a corpse now, and even the Daluo Immortal can't be saved." I said with a frown. I originally thought that he saw that his father could move, and thought that his father was alive again and asked me to save people.

Another man cried and said, "Master, we didn't mean that, I wanted to beg you to send my father's soul away so that he could be reincarnated." There have already been several cases of corpse fraud in the village, and the souls have been scattered. ”

Hearing this, I glanced at the things in everyone's hands again, and I roughly understood.

There is no way to compare the living standards of rural people with those in cities, but they know more than urban people in some aspects. For example, now, if this happened in the city, most of the people would probably have fled in all directions.

When this happens, the people in the village will react as quickly as possible, such as the black dog blood in the buckets of these people now. This is the experience that the people in the village have accumulated over a long period of time.

However, with this method, the human soul will be dispelled. When the soul is gone, there is no way to reincarnate again.

Seeing that they were so filial, I nodded, "Okay, you can carry people back." ”

Hearing me say this, the two men lifted their father's body, and the rest of the villagers followed.

"Uncle, there have been a lot of such things in the village recently?" I asked.

The old man nodded, "I don't know what's going on in the village recently, seven or eight people have died in a month, and all of these seven or eight people have become corpses." ”

Hearing the old man say this, I couldn't help frowning, it's normal for people to die in the village, but it's not normal for seven or eight to die in a month, and all of them are corpses.

"Is there anything strange going on in the village lately?" I asked.

"Yes, lately a lot of wild cats have come from nowhere, and these wild cats have been surrounding the village every night and barking non-stop. Later, I organized the people in the village to blow the cats away, but even if they drove away, they would come back, and these cats didn't seem to be afraid of people at all, and they didn't run away when they saw people. The old man thought for a moment and continued, "I also think it is strange, I found a goddess in the next village to come and see, the goddess said that our village has offended the land lord, let us make an offering to the land lord, we finished the offering, it is useless." The old man couldn't help but sigh when he said this, "We're discussing going to hire someone." ”

The old man said and glanced at me, "Sir, you are the lucky star of our village, so please leave the matter to you." As long as you can help our village get through this hurdle, you can rest assured that as long as you don't open your mouth, we will give it. ”

The old man said very sincerely, I nodded, since I met, I can't ignore it.

"Okay." I nodded.

After following them into the village, two men carried the old man to his house.

"Go find an old man's clothes and light a candle in front of the coffin." I said to the old man's two sons.

One of them went to look for clothes, and the other went to light candles.

I told everyone to retreat outside the gate, especially the women and children, and the old people, and told them to go home and not stay here.

When they had all left, I said to the old man's son, "After I light my clothes in a moment, you can say your father's name, and then say Daddy, you can go." ”
