Lu Yun frowned.

Why was such a dying man elected to be the patriarch?

Woohoo!

At this time, a big yellow dog that ran out of nowhere barked at them with a very fierce expression.

Liu Wangzhi looked interesting, and he asked Li Shouchang: "Is your dog fierce?" If I touch it, will it bite me? ”

Li Shouchang grinned and said: "My dog is honest, he doesn't bite, you can touch it." ”

"That's good."

Liu Wangzhi reached out to stroke the dog's head with confidence, but the big yellow dog suddenly opened his mouth and bit it.

"I'll go!"

Liu Wangyi couldn't dodge for a while, and he was about to be bitten.

said that it was too late, that time was fast, Lu Yun grabbed the dog's head.

"Thank you, Lord Lu, thank you, Lord Lu!"

Liu Wangzhi escaped, he nodded to Lu Yun and thanked him, then turned to look at Li Shouchang angrily, and roared: "Didn't you say that your dog doesn't bite people?" ”

Li Shouchang cringed and said, "But this dog is not mine." ”

Lu Yun smiled at the corner of his mouth, but the suspicion in his eyes deepened.

Liu Wangzhi said hatefully: "Is there something wrong with this old man's head? ”

The middle-aged man snorted: "I'm really sorry, official, our new patriarch he, he ......."

He looked at Li Shouchang hesitantly, and in the end, he didn't say anything after the word 'he'.

But there was a naughty boy who had the courage to run up and laughed: "Chang Ye is a fool, you are a fool if you are a fool, you are also a fool, hahaha......"

"Good boy!" Liu Wangzhi was angry.

Thinking that as the head of Fuyun Township, no one dared to treat him like this.

He had the intention to teach these bad boys a lesson, but Lu Yun didn't speak, and he didn't dare.

Seeing Liu Wangzhi's embarrassment, the middle-aged man waved his sleeves and shouted, "The child goes to play." ”

The naughty boys ran away giggling.

Liu Wangzhi dusted off his cuffs, put on an official posture and said in a deep voice: "Li Shouchang, the patriarch of the Li clan, listen up, this official is Liu Wangzhi, the head of Fuyun Township, and this adult is Lu Gonggong, the deacon of Xichang, we went to your clan to investigate a trick case, there is a tenant named Li Erniu in your clan, where is he at this time?" ”

West, West Factory......

Li Shouchang subconsciously looked at the middle-aged man beside him, and the middle-aged man said with a smile on his face: "The two officials are here for Erniu?" It's really unfortunate that Er Niu didn't know where he had been yesterday, and after he came back, he became stupid and stupid, and he ran into the mountains at night and hasn't come back yet......"

Liu Wangzhi shouted: "Nonsense! ”

Lu Yun raised his hand to stop him, and then stared at Li Shouchang with a gloomy expression.

"Official, I, I'm ......"

Li Shouchang was so frightened that he knelt down, and when he saw this middle-aged man, he also hurriedly knelt.

"Say it." Lu Yun said lightly.

But to his surprise, regarding the whereabouts of Li Erniu, Li Shouchang and others bit it to death and said that they were lost in the mountains last night.

The momentum froze a little for a while.

The bitter lord is gone.

Uncanny!

Lu Yun looked at the old men who were squatting by the wall basking in the sun, their faces were hilly and blank.

There's something weird about it that can't be explained.

The only normal thing is the children here, bouncing and jumping, like the vast majority of children of the same age.

"My lord, look, this ......" Liu Wangzhi looked at Lu Yun with a look of embarrassment.

"Forget it." Lu Yun said lightly.

What?

Never mind!

For a while, Liu Wangzhi wondered if he had heard it wrong.

The next moment, a scene that shocked him appeared.

Lu Yun's pupils suddenly became like a furnace, and he seemed to be able to feel a burning intent when he stood close.

"Hmph, that's true!"

He found out what was normal for those children.

It turned out that the naughty boys had a copper coin hanging from their necks with red thread.

As for the others......

Hum!

Lu Yun said: "Li Shouchang, you take our family to your Li ancestral shrine to have a look, since our family is here, we should go to condole." ”

"This ......"

Li Shouchang and the two looked at each other, and seemed to be a little reluctant.

This is obviously not logical!

According to local customs, when someone in the family dies, others should be welcome to come to mourn.

In particular, big families pay attention to pomp, the more people who come to mourn, the more they have a row, and the higher the identity of the people who come to mourn, the more they have a row.

Even some people have a good face, and they will find someone to pretend to be a high-ranking official and a celebrity to come to the door to make a couple of sentences.

There was once a rich man who played a big game, and even found someone to pretend to be a relative of the emperor to mourn the dead ghost father, but the east window incident happened, and it didn't take long for relatives to come to their whole family to mourn.

But the Li family is different, a big dry earl like Lu Yun said that he was going to worship Li Wangfu, but the two were not only unhappy, but refused with a haha.

There must be something wrong with this!

"What if, we say we must go?" Lu Yun took a step forward, his face cold.

"Official......

Li Shouchang looked at the middle-aged man beside him in embarrassment, and the middle-aged man said: "Since the adults want to come, then come, presumably the former patriarch will be very happy in the sky." ”

"Please!"

Lu Yun and the others followed the middle-aged man and walked inside.

Li Shouchang's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he slowly embellished himself in the back.

It's just that for some reason, Lu Yun's eyes glanced at the copper coins hanging on those naughty boys again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I didn't expect that little girl to be here.

Lee's ancestral hall is a large stone house.

Pushing open the gate, there is a two-person tall stone Buddha in front of you.

According to the custom here, tablets should be placed under the Buddha, but this ancestral hall has a unique style, in front of the Buddha is an incense burner and tribute, and there is no tablet.

Instead, there was a large red lacquered coffin on a stool in the room, and a delicate paper bridge was placed between the doorway and the coffin.

This is called the Ascension Bridge in folklore, bridging two ends, one in the sun coffin and the other in the underworld.

At the end of the Ascension Bridge is the mouth of the coffin, and between the two is a bronze bell with an old shape and a simple temperament.

This is the soul bell, wait until the first seven souls, the soul bell can recall the soul of the deceased, cross the ascension bridge and then return to the yang world to have a look.

There was a young woman with a slightly bulging lower abdomen who was playing with the lantern, and she was startled when she saw several people suddenly pushing the door in.

"Two, two, patriarch, why are you here?"

By this point, Lu Yun had completely figured out what was going on in the Li family's house.

Although the above ancestral hall layout looks like a local folk legend at first glance, if you look closely, it seems that there are some discrepancies with the legend.

Plus this talisman plastered all over the walls.

From a distance, the images of those talismans looked like a skull.

This is the formation!

Moreover, it is also an evil path formation, which can make people retain a breath after death, and then transfer this trace of pure qi into the body of the baby in the woman's womb.

So as to live the second life!

But this is not without a price, it is very difficult to maintain a trace of the original spirit immortal, and it requires a lot of essence to maintain.

This is why the old people in the village, including the patriarch, look ignorant.

They have lost their spirit!
