"Hey, the villagers haven't been up the mountain for 20 years."

"Originally, there was a road, but after 20 years, the road has long been gone."

Uncle shook his head and sighed.

After everyone listened, it was obvious that this road would not work, and they were all unfamiliar with the mountains behind Huanglongzhuang.

It's hard to find the cave.

There is no one to guide the way, and without a road, you can't go to the back mountain.

I just didn't go.

"Let's take a break and wait until it gets dark!"

In the evening, it was not early, Zhang Ping'an had to decide to sit and wait for it to get dark, and the evil spirit would haunt again.

Like last night.

The village chief placed the villagers in the square in front of the ancestral hall.

Not long after Zhang Ping'an entered the ancestral hall to rest, many villagers came to the square in front of the ancestral hall.

As it was about to get dark, many villagers had gathered in the square just like last night.

Like last night, it was not turned on, despite the lights in the square.

The electric lights are too bright, as bright as day.

Under this kind of bright light, evil will not haunt.

But there were no cremations in the square tonight, but a few bonfires were lit.

The villagers had eaten dinner, brought their things, and gathered in the square.

It was still early and the square was noisy.

And in the ancestral hall, arranged by the village chief, dinner is already being cooked.

"Heavenly Master, in a place like the ancestral hall, all red and white things are done here, isn't there a lot of yin here?"

Looking back, Lin Meng couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart.

In general, in the countryside.

When the old man is about to die, he will move to the ancestral hall or ancestral hall.

Waiting for the breath to be cut off inside, this is to sleep in the ancestral hall, or sleep in the ancestral hall.

Following Zhang Ping'an's trip to Chinese culture, Lin Meng also had some insight.

"It is indeed an office for red and white ceremonies, but this is different from the wilderness, where the ancestors will not hurt their own families."

"This is a place to worship them, and if you harm people here, won't you cut off the incense for yourself."

Zhang Ping'an replied without hesitation.

"But we're outsiders!"

Originally, Lin Meng listened to it and felt a little more at ease.

Xu Fei suddenly said, which activated Lin Meng's fear again.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Haiqiu Daoist immediately stopped Xu Fei from talking nonsense.

"This is the ancestral hall, fear comes from the ignorance in the heart, with us, what are you afraid of!"

Bochen also spoke out to stop it.

"A lot of times, fear comes from imagination and the unknown."

"For example, people who work in funeral homes, they come into contact with the dead every day, and if they are like you, they have a lot of imagination."

"Obviously not up to the job, but in fact, they're all fine."

"Thanksgiving is made for the spirits of the dead."

"Another example, the corpse keepers of the mourning hall, if they are also afraid, then the body will have to be destroyed by rats."

"Then retribution will really come."

"Most of the evil spirits that really harm people are those who have no one to worship, or there are enemies."

"Therefore, those who grow old in the ancestral hall will not harm others, even outsiders."

"What's more, one of my heavenly masters is here, and that round will be troubled by them."

Zhang Ping'an groaned.

Hearing this, Lin Mengji was relieved.

"Bochen, go and see if there are any bats outside."

After that, Zhang Ping'an ordered Bochen to go out to check the scene outside.

Moments later, the dust returned.

"Heavenly Master, there are no bats out there anymore, they must have been disturbed out of the cave."

"Now I'm going back, or looking for another habitat."

Bochen came back to tell Zhang Ping'an and speculated.

Not much.

Wine and food have been placed in the ancestral hall, and tonight is even more sumptuous than last night.

The fat bear and fat boy, who disappeared for a while in the afternoon, arrived at the ancestral hall on time.

"Village Chief, we didn't have dinner!"

When the fat bear entered the ancestral hall, he took the initiative to report to the village chief.

The true nature of the foodie was exposed, how could the foodie's mind be hidden from the treacherous village chief, and he saw through it on the spot.

The village chief looked at the fat bear's thoughts, but he didn't break it.

Heavenly Master Zhang Ping'an was at Fat Bear's house and was also well taken care of.

So much so that after Zhang Ping'an got up this morning, he was still yawning and obviously lacking sleep.

It must be this fat bear who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night, chattering endlessly, and tosses the little heavenly master to sleep deprivation.

"Okay, okay! Let's eat together! ”

The village chief was also helpless, the children were rude, and the guests did not refuse.

"Well, it should be, I'm a hero in the village after all."

Fat Bear responded, but took it for granted.

"Fat mi, sit next to you, I'll clip your elbow!"

The fat bear pulled the fat cat, and the fat body occupied the seat on one side.

"Heavenly Master, forgive me!"

The village chief smiled awkwardly and immediately poured wine for Zhang Ping'an.

The adults laughed and said nothing, these are indeed two living treasures, and they can't be thrown away.

"Heavenly Master, after eating late, do you still catch the evil at night?"

"I can give you a beating, and by the way, you can teach me how to catch evil, when you are not in the village in the future."

"I can also eliminate the harm in the village!"

Fat Bear said with interest, and the crowd almost burst into laughter again.

"Uh......"

Zhang Ping'an originally wanted to say that this catching evil is not as simple as eating pork knuckle.

I'm afraid that I will provoke this chatter when I open my mouth, and then I will talk endlessly.

And the other adults didn't take Fat Bear's words seriously, and let him brag about it.

For a moment, full of wine and food.

Although there is no pork knuckle on the table, there are braised pork and potato stew, but these are just these two hard dishes.

was actually half monopolized by the fat bear and the fat mi, and ate the two of them with a mouthful of oil, and their faces were coated with juice.

"Heavenly Master, please rest!"

The village chief gave up his hand and ordered someone to bring tea.

The village chief took the elders of the village and began to have dinner.

This is the rule of the village, and it is also the etiquette of hospitality, which is still maintained in this new century, and it is also extremely rare.

"Heavenly Master, this afternoon, a lot of bats appeared in the village, what's going on?"

"Huanglongzhuang is a treasure of feng shui, and there has never been such a strange scene!"

While eating, the village chief asked Zhang Ping'an.

I hope to get a reasonable explanation and let the Heavenly Master solve the doubts.

If there is any trouble, by the way, please ask the Heavenly Master to solve it.

"I said, there is a cave in the back mountain, and this bat must be inhabited in the cave."

Zhang Ping'an responded.

There is a cave in the back mountain, which the village chief never mentioned.

It was still in the afternoon, Zhang Ping'an casually pulled a village uncle to inquire.

"Heavenly Master, there is indeed a cave in the back mountain."

"But it was a forbidden place, and earlier on, the children of the village who died in infancy, as well as the short-lived ghosts, were left in the cave."

"Normally, no one has been there at all."

"Even if it's raining, no one dares to hide from the rain inside."

The village chief could see that Zhang Ping'an was unhappy with the village chief's concealment of the Houshan cave.

So he hurriedly explained.

"Oh, that yin will be strong!"

Zhang Ping'an groaned.

The village chief nodded again and again, just like this, no one dared to enter easily.
