Volume 1 Conspiracy Chapter 19 The Mystery of Resentment
The sky is bright, the rooster in the village screams high, swears that the sun is about to wake up, the villagers wake up one after another, ready for a new day's work, the fishing villagers take fishing rods and bamboo baskets, the tree cutters take knives and axes, and the farmers take hoes, leaving only the child-rearing and teaching in the village.
At the foot of the West Wind Mountain, Li Chongli and Qingru Xu finally stepped out of the mountains and forests, and saw the dazzling dawn.
"Qingdao Chief, why did this female ghost finally give up chasing the two of us?" Li Chongli's eyes narrowed, looking at the sun slowly rising in the east, and asked.
Qingru Xu patted his sleeves, removed the dust on his clothes, and looked up very puzzled: "I don't know, this female ghost is fiercely tight, could it be that the yang energy of the two of us is too heavy." ”
Li Chongli shook the corners of his eyes when he heard this, he didn't want to continue to ask, and walked on the green grass to the straight path, since he got the silver ball at night, Li Chongli walked lightly, and seemed to be able to fly in the air with all his strength, Qingru Xu chased after Li Chongli, muttering softly behind him.
"This female ghost can't be dealt with, and the village in the distance is about to suffer. Qingru Xu was in trouble in his heart, racking his brains to think about how to subdue the female ghost, so that she would no longer disturb the world, and scratched his head and whispered while walking.
Li Chongli felt the ball of light in his heart as he walked, trying to find out if the small ball of light could not only heal the wound, but also had any other effect, slowly gestured with various gestures in his hand, punching like the wind, and his palm like thunder, but there was no silver light, retracting his fist, Li Chongli looked at the palm of his hand, which was no different from usual.
Last night's magical silver light seemed to have entered a deep sleep, no matter how Li Chongli was inspired, he couldn't call it for his own use, so he simply gave up the temptation, turned his head to look at Qingru Xu behind him, and was lowering his head at this time, muttering in a low voice.
"Qingdao chief, why is this female ghost so powerful? Li Chongli asked, this question had been in his mind all night, and last night was too miserable to ask.
"Shentian Daozun once said that ghosts, resentments, and the body of a powerful ghost, or because of mortal things, or because of the wishes of mortal spirits, this female ghost has been so fierce in just five years, and there should be a remembrance or some mortal things that have not been finished in the mortal world. Qingru Xu said slowly.
Li Chongli listened to Qingru Xu Toutou's words, and then nodded and said, "Then what will make the female ghost unwilling to enter the underworld and be reincarnated?"
Qing Ruxu fell into deep thought when he heard this, since the female ghost does not want to be reincarnated, what is the reason for harming people's lives in this mortal world?, let go of the two of them, and no longer chase and kill, what is it?
"Why does the female ghost only arrest people from that village? Li Chongli clapped his hands and said in shock.
Qingru Xu was said by Li Chongli, realizing that this matter is not simple, the village chief asked someone to catch the ghost, for five years, no one has been caught, and every year more people will die at the hands of the female ghost;
The two decided to go back to the village to investigate, find out the ins and outs of the matter, drag it will inevitably cause a tragedy, the two hurriedly returned to the village, the villagers saw that the Taoist chief returned to the village, full of smiles and grateful, Qingru Xu could only smile back, and took the opportunity to ask the village in the five years in addition to birth, old age, sickness and death, what other tragic things happened.
The villagers didn't seem to understand Qing Ruxu's question, and couldn't give Qing Ruxu an answer, so they shook their heads one after another to show that they didn't know.
After Li Chongli entered the village, he used the Condensation Shadow to hide in the village, searching for any suspicious points hidden in each house, and the two were busy separately, and the time gradually reached noon.
The villagers who had gone out to work in the farm, chopping wood and fishing, were returning to their homes one by one, the women were cooking lunch, the men were gobbling up, and the children were playing around the village, and six children were playing a little game of hide and seek in the northwest of the village.
"Are you hiding? The boy in red leaned against the wall and covered his eyes, shouting at the top of his voice, and after a long time no one answered, he turned his head and opened his eyes, looking for the other companions who showed their feet.
Li Chongli was hiding nearby at this time, drinking stuffy wine with a wine gourd, seeing that the child was playing, he raised his eyes and looked, adding a childlike innocence to the hot and sullen afternoon.
The child in red seems to be very skilled in the game of catch and seek, and soon finds three friends, while the remaining two friends hide very deeply, and the child in red rummages around, but does not find the whereabouts of the two.
"Shhhh
"Don't scare me, I'm afraid. ”
"Really, Uncle Niu said...."
Two children who were hiding very deeply, happened to be hiding in a broken mud wall house not far from Li Chong, the two were discussing the fact that there had been dead people in the mud wall house that was about to collapse, Li Chongli didn't think it was right at first, how could what the two children said be credulous.
Li Chongli continued to drink the stuffy wine, thinking in his heart about the restaurant in Furong City, singing and dancing, isn't it beautiful, at this time he has fallen into this wilderness village, and he has to accompany a Taoist who is not deep in Taoism to catch ghosts, which is really miserable.
Qing Ru Xu was sitting in the teahouse at this time, drinking the mellow tea, and whistling lightly in his mouth, very happy, and just now, Qing Ru Xu asked a villager, and the villager explained that ten years ago, there was indeed a bizarre incident in the village, in which a woman and her husband died, and the husband and wife died in different places, the husband died in the farmland outside the village, and the wife died at home.
No matter how specific the villagers are, this matter is also hastily settled in the end, the village chief buried the two not far from the foot of Xifeng Mountain according to custom, and there will be people to worship in the first two years, but the latter is gradually forgotten, and no one mentions it again.
But with Qing Ruxu's questioning, the villagers racked their brains and remembered that it was the crazy old man Niu Zhi outside the village who was responsible for burying the husband and wife at the foot of Xifeng Mountain, and the day after the burial, Niu Zhi went crazy, shouting that there are ghosts, ghosts, and finally ran outside the village, crazy for so many years.
At this time, although Qingru Xu whistled and seemed very happy, it was difficult to calm down in his heart, the death of the couple was too strange, and they were buried without finding out the cause of death, and the husband and wife died on the same day, maybe the crazy Niu Zhi outside the village knew something.
Qingru Xu got up slowly, took out the mysterious ball that Li Chongli gave him before, shook it, and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Soon Qingru Xu had come to the entrance of the village, waiting for Li Chongli...
Li Chongli was listening to the whispers of the two children, but the two children did not say any other useful information afterwards, and suddenly, Li Chongli sensed the summoning of the Qingru Daoist Xu, put away the wine gourd, and flashed in the direction of the summons.
"Qingdao chief, have you found anything?" Li Chongli quietly appeared beside Qing Ru Xu, patted Qing Ru Xu on the shoulder, and said.
Qingru Xu jumped to the side, obviously startled by the sudden appearance of Li Chongli, who was unaware, brushed his crown, and said to Li Chongli: "An incident happened in this village ten years ago..."
Qingru Xu recounted the content explained to him by the villagers again to Li Chongli, and added some exaggerated rhetoric during the period, such as the death of the husband and wife was extremely tragic, their faces were as hideous as evil ghosts, Niu Zhi was covered by a female ghost, and he was delirious.
After listening to the explanation, Li Chongli directly broke through the main point and said: "Let's go, find this Niu Zhi." ”
Qingru Xu saw that Li Chongli was so straight to the point, and he didn't stay anymore, and walked towards the outside of the village, and the two asked the villagers Niu Zhi about the general direction on the way, and then quickened their pace.
The two soon found Niu Zhi's residence, not far from a farmland, there was a thatched hut, which was Niu Zhi's residence outside the village, and Niu Zhi was standing outside the house at this time, as if he had already known that the two would come.
"In Xia Qingru Xu, the twelfth generation head disciple of Bagua Mountain, I don't know if Your Excellency is Niu Zhi?" Qingru Xu introduced himself elegantly.
Li Chongli glanced at Qingru Xu, but he didn't expect this Taoist who was depressed in the West Wind Mountain and could only pinch his fingers to calculate, and be so polite, he was still crazy about this farmer.
"I'm Niu Zhi, you guys are looking for me to ask about what happened ten years ago. Niu Zhi said calmly.
The two of them saw that Niu Zhi spoke clearly and his face was calm, which looked like Niu Zhi who had gone crazy in the mouth of the villagers, and Niu Zhi mentioned ten years ago as soon as he opened his mouth, so he must know the strangeness.
Qingru Xu took the lead in nodding and said, "Yes, please let your Excellency know." ”
Niu Zhi glanced at Qingru Xu, nodded, and said with a smile: "Ten years ago, I only know what happened after the burial, and I don't know why this couple died for no reason. ”
"I still remember the day of the burial, it was dark, and I took the lead in burying the man's body, but then when I was about to bury the woman, the woman suddenly opened her eyes, pinched me and said, "Give me back my life, give me back my life, I was terrified..."
Niu Zhi said more and more excited, and finally said that when the woman opened her eyes and pinched her neck, her eyes showed a look of fear, and her speech was a little trembling, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Then I ran to the village, shouting that there were ghosts and ghosts, and the villagers thought I was crazy and avoided me, and I couldn't sleep at home, and when the sky was bright, I mustered up the courage to go to the foot of the West Wind Mountain again, the female corpse was gone, and there were only two graves, I was even more scared, and then I moved out of the village and lived here. ”
After listening to Niu Zhi's explanation, Li Chongli and the others became much clearer in their hearts, and what they needed to understand at this time was why the female ghost had a grudge left in the human world, and if she solved this grievance, she could resolve the disaster of blood and light in the village.
