A lot of ordinary people followed, they originally wanted to see the excitement, and the people in the mountains liked to see the excitement.

There's no way, there is really no entertainment in the mountains, if there is a lively and it is related to dealing with Qiao's family, how can they not try to track it down?

Wang Qilin knew that in a few days, what happened in the Shibei Township Market would spread all over Luoba County, and it might be spread to what it would be.

After seeing off Lefe's boat, the five of them walked towards the cowering crowd behind.

Fat Wuyi said: "Brother Yi, this is your hometown, then take a closer look, are there any acquaintances here?"

Shen Yi touched his bald head and said: "This spray monk has to take a good look, Amitabha, the spray monk was only five or six years old when he left his hometown, all of a sudden, more than ten years have passed, alas, alas, alas!"

Fat Wuyi sighed: "The young man left home and the eldest returned, and the hometown accent has not changed......

"The country accent has not changed, and the sideburns have declined!" Xu Da reluctantly corrected, "Fat boy, I beg you, uncle, can you stop saying idioms in the future than poetry?" We Confucians don't have disciples like you!"

Fat May Day was sullen: "Then you can teach me, will you be my husband?"

Xu Da hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, my uncle's reputation in life has already stinked, and I don't want my academic reputation to stink too." ”

Fat Wuyi said angrily: "Master Xu, you are a little insulted to Qingyi, fat master, I am very studious and diligent, yes yes ......"

"Don't use idioms. Wang Qilin saw that he was racking his brains and trying to work again, so he hurriedly interrupted him, "In addition, Xu Ye, you also have a bit of a B number, you have a reputation for being a fart in academics?"

Fat Wuyi said: "Anyway, I will study hard." ”

Wang Qilin comforted him and said: "Okay, if you are willing to study hard, then you can study by yourself. ”

Fat Wuyi smiled.

The encouragement from idols is always so heartwarming.

Xie Toad did not participate in their conversation, as long as Xu Da and Shen spoke, he would stay away.

This is called a gentleman who does not stand under a dangerous wall, and normal people who do not quarrel with fools.

He went to the people, and they were in awe of him.

Xie Toad, who became serious, had the image of a master outside the world, although he walked with a limp.

But this is the case with the masters, and can the old Taoist priests who are not blind and lame be called masters? Cultivators and masters often have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, and this is the simple understanding of the common people about the monks.

Xie Toad walked up to the people and sang: "Immeasurable Relief Taiyi Tianzun, donors follow the old way, but what do you need help from the old way?"

The common people saluted him one after another: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, the grass people have seen real people." ”

"The real person is above, and the grass people meet the real person. ”

The two sides saluted each other, and some people kowtowed to Xie Toad.

Eight meows ran over, stood beside Xie Toad and hugged his calves, puffing out his fat cheeks and proudly accepting the people's bows.

Meow fake frog power.

Xie Toad stroked his beard and said, "You wait, please get up quickly?" If the old way guesses right? Thou shalt bow down to the old way and ask for something. ”

A farmer is straightforward: "Real people don't just have real skills? Or a big official of the imperial court, right?"

Xu Da said depressedly: "It was obviously the uncle who was working hard just now? Why do they all say that the master has real skills?"

Wang Qilin said: "Because when you were fighting, the people were so frightened that they ran to the back and hid? Can't see your performance, and Dao Ye was sitting in the treetops? The common people saw him and found that he could sit firmly in the treetops like a fishing platform? Natural admiration. ”

Xu Da said angrily: "Hey, really there is an old man in the family, such as a demon? This old man is really scheming. ”

The common people do have something to do with Xie Toad, and every household has some tricks? If you haven't encountered a strange thing, as long as it hasn't been going well recently, you also feel that you have encountered a strange thing or been entangled by demons and monsters.

Are they in the middle of nowhere? On weekdays, no master came, but now that a master has finally arrived, Xie Toad has finally arrived, and the people naturally want to seize the opportunity to let him help ward off evil spirits.

So Xie Toad asked with a drizzle? The people began to ask for help:

"Real person Mingjian, the grass people have been dreaming about their parents crying recently? What's going on?"

"Can a real person go to see my house? My father left the year before last, my mother left last year, and my son is gone again this year, this is this, is there a problem with my family's feng shui?"

"Real people, I have a raccoon cat, but I gave birth to a litter of little black cats, and they all say that the black cat enters the door and the main family loses its soul, what can I do?"

Eight Meow was originally making fun of it, but when it came to this question, it couldn't help but widen its eyes - who is talking nonsense? Let Meow Ye see who is talking nonsense, Meow Ye will steal his fish tonight!

Xie Toad found a problem to pay attention to from the gossip, and he asked a man, "Are there any other strange things in your family?"

Dahan's eyes moistened, and he said: "Real person, there is, please go and see my ancestral grave, there is a problem with my ancestral grave." ”

The township is also divided into clans, a clan is an ancestral grave, the Han leads the way, and the group of people has a mighty mountain.

Xie Toad easily walked up the mountain with his hands in his hands and said: "When it comes to the ancestral tomb, everyone knows it. But when asked about the feng shui of the ancestral tomb, very few people understand. ”

"My Taoist says, 'Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me.'" The Yin and Yang Shape Qi Method has clouds, 'Yin and Yang Law is in heaven and earth, and the Form Qi Law is in all things.' Heaven and man correspond in unison, and man and earth seek each other in the same breath', which shows the importance of feng shui of this ancestral tomb......"

Wang Qilin listened in a fog and didn't know what he was talking about.

The level of the common people is even worse, he can't understand it, how can ordinary people understand?

However, the common people nodded after hearing this, and they said in private: "Although I don't know what the real person said, I can feel very professional and powerful." ”

Someone shouted at the back of the line: "Okay, good, what the real person said is really good, wonderful, so it is, so it is!"

His voice was so positive and so loud that Xu Da and Fat Wuyi were both sideways: a mountain is more high, and a fart is louder than a fart!

A fat old man with Chinese hair walked up quickly, he was wearing an ordinary green shirt, a golden Buddha around his neck, and a jade hairpin on his head.

Xie Toad was quietly on guard, he felt that this old man was smashing the field.

As a result, the big man who led the way saw the old man with Huafa and asked, "Third uncle, why are you here?"

The crowd was also quietly discussing: "The tiger of the Qiao family is here." ”

The old man of Huafa nodded at the big man with a smile, and then bowed to Xie Toad, Xu Da and the others: "Little old man Qiao Yaohu has seen all the adults. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "Qiao Yaohu, what is your relationship with the four brothers Qiao Zhenying?"

The old man of Huafa said with a smile: "I'm ashamed to say that they are the dogs of the little old man, the dogs have no eyes, and they have offended the adults, and the little old man specially came to the adults to make amends." ”

He was thick-skinned, and knelt down as he spoke.

Wang Qilin made a surprised gesture: "Your son has offended us, how did they offend? Are you looking for the wrong person?"

Qiao Yaohu was stunned for a moment, and smiled freely: "Is it Lord Haihan?

They had already reached the slope of the grave, and the smooth slope of the earth was scattered with graves and tombstones.

So Wang Qilin didn't bother with Qiao Yaohu anymore, he looked at this cemetery curiously, looking for the weirdness in it.

The big man who led them pointed to the grave in front of him and said, "Please take a look at it, I don't know how a bamboo shoot appeared on my ancestral grave!"

Bamboo shoots did grow on the grave, the bamboo shoots were still very tender, and the water was smart, if it wasn't for the wrong place, Wang Qilin would be ready to dig it out and take it back to eat.

Xie Toad looked at the grave and said, "There is nothing wrong with your ancestral grave, it is not a strange thing or a bad thing that bamboo shoots grow on the grave, you still have children in your family, and they are still studying, right?"

Dahan said: "Real people are clever, it's true." ”

Xie Toad smiled: "Then you have to support him to study, the bamboo shoots are growing step by step, which means that your child will rise step by step in the future." ”

Getting such an answer made the big man very happy, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and shouted: "My little second son can be an official? can he still rise step by step? Ah, this, this, and such a great thing? My family still has such a great thing?"

The person next to him said enviously: "Qiao Lao Liu, your ancestral tomb is smoking." ”

The big man smiled, and the decadence and frustration on his face were swept away.

Qiao Yaohu was also overjoyed, he said: "Thank you for answering the question, it turns out that bamboo shoots grow on the grave like this!

Xie Toad said, "Oh, yes? Then take the old way to have a look." ”

Qiao Yaohu pointed to the top of the hillside and said: "Please move to the real person, my ancestral tomb is at the top, overlooking the four fields, and the wind and water are rising!"

Xu Da muttered: "No wonder their family can mix so well, it turns out that the ancestral tomb has good feng shui." ”

Someone whispered disdainfully: "Hmph, Qiao Laohu doesn't do good things, it was not his ancestral grave in the first place, it was he who relied on his many friends and wide connections to dig other people's ancestral graves and forcibly occupy other people's land!"

Hearing this, Wang Qilin shook his head: "Come on, the ancestral tomb chooses a seat, not the higher the better." ”

The people next to him asked curiously, "Isn't that so?"

Wang Qilin said: "The simplest truth, if the feng shui on the top of your grave slope is really good and can really protect your descendants and descendants, then why didn't the people who set up their ancestral tombs on it before have made a fortune? How can people still rob the cemetery?"

Xu Da said: "Yes, you can't even defend your own territory, so you still expect him to be able to protect his descendants like this?"

There is only a strong and stable blue brick tomb on the top of the tomb slope, the tomb head is a billet of loess, and there are indeed bamboo shoots coming out, this bamboo shoot should have grown for a few days, thick and tall, and it looks like it is about to grow into bamboo.

Xie Toad shook his head when he saw this bamboo shoot: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, this is not a good thing. ”

As soon as he heard his words, Qiao Yaohu was anxious.

He hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the real person said about this? Aren't the bamboo shoots growing on the grave rising step by step?"

Xie Toad stroked his beard and smiled: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Feng Shui metaphysics is not so simple, and it cannot be generalized. ”

"Look at the bamboo shoots on the ancestral grave of the old six families of Naqiao, the bamboo shoots are very tender, and they are still rising step by step. And what about the bamboo shoot in your ancestral grave? It has grown a coat, do you know what this bamboo shoot is?"

Qiao Yao asked with a tiger's eye: "May I ask the real person, what is the particularity?"

Xie Toad asked, "When these bamboo shoots are tender, they can be eaten when they are shoveled out, yes or no?"

Qiao Yaohu said: "Yes." ”

"How can you eat this old bamboo shoot if you want to eat it? Do you have to peel off the outer bread to eat it? Yes or no?"

"Yes, too. ”

"Then has the coating of this old bamboo shoot been peeled off?"

"It's not. ”

Xie Toad stroked his beard and smiled: "So this is called, don't cut bamboo shoots!"

Hearing this, the people laughed secretly, Xu Da laughed openly, so the people laughed openly with him.

Qiao Yaohu naturally knew that he was being slammed by the old Taoist priest in front of him, and he was about to get angry with his big eyes, but then he remembered the identity of the person in front of him, so he had to ask for a smile on his face: "Real people are laughing, real people are laughing." ”

Wang Qilin said: "This Taoist master is not joking, Qiao Yaohu, think about it yourself, the descendants of your Qiao family are an ancestor, although they are scattered today, you still break the blood relatives with bones and tendons." ”

"So do you take care of these relatives on weekdays? Did you not only fail to take care of them, but oppressed and bullied them?"

"For your ancestors, isn't this an act of unfilial piety?"

Qiao Yaohu argued: "But it is my father who is buried in this tomb, not the ancestor of my Qiao family. ”

Wang Qilin said: "Why are you so elm-headed? It's very simple, what about your father's father? What about your father's grandfather? What about your father's grandfather? Where are they now?"

Qiao Yaohu's thinking was brought into the routine, and he followed Wang Qilin's train of thought and said, "In, in the underworld, right? Or are they reincarnated?"

Wang Qilin snorted coldly: "With unfilial descendants like your family, where do they go to reincarnate?"

"But you're right, they are all in the underworld, and then the ancestors of your Qiao family saw that the Qiao family had unfilial descendants like you, they naturally got angry, but they were helpless against you and your sons, what about your father?"

Xie Toad nodded and said, "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, what Lord Wang said is extremely true, didn't your father give you a dream? He is afraid that he was cleaned up by your ancestors in the underworld, and he should be able to reprimand you in a dream." ”

Qiao Yaohu said calmly: "But no. ”

Xie Toad said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, that old Taoist guesses that there must be something in your house to ward off evil spirits, and ghosts and yin spirits can't enter your house, so your father can't give you dreams, so he has to use the method of giving birth to old bamboo shoots on the grave to scold you!"

Qiao Yaohu's eyes wandered, obviously Xie Toad was right this time.

Fat Wuyi exclaimed: "Dao Ye is really an old Jianghu. ”

Wang Qilin smiled, what kind of old rivers and lakes is this? He can push it out with his buttocks, Qiao Yaohu's family bullies the township on weekdays, does all kinds of evil, and has ghosts in their hearts, so they are naturally afraid that there will really be ghosts coming to the door, and the family must invite a Buddha statue to paste a talisman to drive away ghosts and evil spirits.

The people around him pointed and pointed, Qiao Yaohu didn't have the face to stay here anymore, so he had to run away with his crotch in his pants.

Qiao Lao Liu changed his previous decadence, and he invited Wang Qilin and the five of them to his house as guests, and Wang Qilin readily agreed.

His house was in the township, and when he entered the door, he shouted: "Son, me, kill one, no, kill two chickens, the old hen is stewed, and the little rooster is braised red." ”

"What about the fish that the fourth brother came to deliver yesterday? Kill and stew it in a cage. ”

"There is also the pork belly left over from the salt brine during the New Year, which is also stewed, with spring bamboo shoots to a red slope meat, and there are distinguished guests coming to the door today!"

Wang Qilin gave Xu Da a look, and Xu Da made the roast chicken and duck pork head meat, and said: "Brother don't have to be so polite, we brought roast meat, you can just prepare the wine." ”

Qiao Lao Liu scratched his head and said: "My lord can get Haihan, I don't have good wine at home, so what, don't laugh at the farmer's wine!"

He probably heard such a poem from his son's mouth, and after saying it, he laughed first: "Drag the text, let the adults laugh." ”

One dish after another was delivered, because Xu Da brought roast chicken, so Qiao Lao Liu's family had two chickens, the old hen stewed a soup, and the little rooster was used to burn a stone pot.

Chicken, peppercorns, garlic and coriander, and lots of greens in it.

Wang Qilin never knew that the people in Jingchu loved to eat peppercorns so much, he only knew that the people in Shu liked this thing.

Seeing that there were good food and good dishes in Qiao's sixth family, some men were reluctant to leave, and they swallowed their saliva secretly.

It is not easy for people in the mountains to eat such a meal.

Wang Qilin was very happy and said: "Today's meal is enough, you don't have to be polite, then stay and let's drink and chat together, the official also wants to hear about the customs of your place, and the many people must introduce it carefully." ”

He deliberately left behind two angry men, who often broke their mouths and dared to say anything.

After three bowls of turbid wine, the villagers' fear of the officials began to dissipate, and they grinned one by one.

They first talked about Wang Qilin and others cleaning up the Qiao brothers, and even their own family like Qiao Lao Liu didn't say good things to the Qiao brothers, so we can know what kind of family this family has become.

Wang Qilin motioned to Xu Da and Xie Toad to continue to bring wine, and when the big guy's face turned red, he began to cut to the topic: "Your stone tablet township is quite big, I heard that an ancient book township has been merged?"

A man named Ma Bai answered: "Yes, the ancient book township was eaten by the stone tablet township, anyway, there are not many people in that township, and many families have gone to other places to join their relatives, and they dare not continue to stay." ”

"Who dares to stay? The people in that township are not clean, they were the most domineering at the beginning, guarding the tomb of an ancient king as a big treasure, and the outsiders were not allowed to interfere, hehe, but then they were punished by God. ”

"Well, the ancient book township is gone, the uphill and downhill slopes were swallowed by the Great Reed River, and several other villages were also washed over, some people died, and those who didn't die later packed up their belongings and ran away, and the village was empty. ”

Wang Qilin and Xie Toad glanced at each other.

New information.

Tomb of the Ancient King?

He still wanted to listen to it, but the men seemed to think of something after saying this, and they stopped talking about it one by one, and it seemed that they were ready to move on to other topics.

Xu Daben said casually: "But our brothers heard that the ancient tomb of the ancient king was not touched much in the ancient book township, and someone poured dirty water on them and deducted the. ”

"Impossible!" Ma Bai said excitedly, "Why is the name of Ancient Books Township? At the beginning of the establishment of this dynasty, some rare books of ancient books were dug up from the tomb of the ancient king in that township and dedicated to the imperial court, so there is the name of Ancient Books Township." ”

"What about your stone tablet township? Did you dig up the stone tablet?" Xie Toad said with a smile.

Qiao Lao Liu said: "It's the stone tablet that has grown!"

"Huh?" Xu Da's eyes widened in surprise, then he raised the wine bowl and said, "Full of full and full of continue to drink and continue to blow, this wine is drunk vigorously, come on, I still have two pieces of sauce beef here, cut the wine." ”

It was another bowl of wine, and a large plate of delicious food was served, and the men were even more unscrupulous under their excitement.

"This is much earlier, when the ancient book township was not called this name in the previous dynasty, they found a tomb in the mountains, and when they went in, they found a big tomb, and then one day we suddenly had a lot of stone tablets here. The men shouted.

"There are words on the stele, from the oracle bone inscription to the present such words, and there is a sentence on it, if you move the king's tomb in vain, you will be punished by heaven!"

"But at that time, how did the big guy know where there was a king's tomb? The news spread, well, the court of the previous dynasty heard about it and sent people to check it, and found that these stone tablets were good things, so they let the people dig them all out and take them away!"

"Do you know what these steles look like?" said a man in a street slumber posture with a mysterious look.

Wang Qilin and the others leaned up and asked, "What does it look like?"

Xu Da filled him up, but the street slicker was pampered and arrogant, and he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xie Toad shook his head and said, "You don't know, or you're going to make up a story." ”

The street slicker drank very impulsively, and immediately slapped the table and said: "Nonsense! I know this matter from the people here, this is a secret, hum, or I heard it quietly more than ten years ago when I was young!"

"Stone tablets grow out of the ground! They are only as tall as a human being, but there are roots under the ground! They are more than ten zhang long!"

Wang Qilin gasped: "It's so long, then how can you take this away?"

The street slipper said: "Dig, let the people dig down, dig around the stele, dig it out after digging to the end, and then bury the soil directly, and bury the people who dig the stele together!"

"This is too sensational, isn't it?" Wang Qilin smacked his lips, "It's nonsense when I hear it." ”

The street slipper was anxious and said, "How can it be made up? This is true!"

"Since then, the stele has become a taboo in our place, no one dared to mention these two words for many years, the establishment of this dynasty, the court heard about this in order to give the people courage, and directly called us the stele township!"

Ma Bai and the others nodded one after another: "A few years ago, when there were still the older generations, the older generations never dared to mention these two words. ”

"Our place is quite evil, there must be a lot of dry bones buried in the ground, and there were bones when the well was dug two years ago. ”

"Those skeletons are very evil, they are all heads with their heads and feet up, and their arms are pulling upwards, that's all. ”

The street runner stood up, raised his head, and made a gesture of reaching out to climb up.

It's a little weird.
