Volume 2 The Heart of Bewitchment Chapter 22 The Empty Tomb

The sun is setting and the night is dark. It's really strange to say - the moon has been hanging high in the sky and the earth for a few days, but tonight, the moon seems to be soaked in thick ink, and you can't see your fingers.

The five of them didn't dare to linger any longer, everything was ready, and they set off towards Poziling with courage. When Wang Dashi left, he deliberately put the incense bottle in a secret place, and brought the vanilla eggs that Wang Lichang had prepared for him with him.

Poziling is located in the southwest direction of the local school, is a high and low staggered, turn the head and tail of the mountain, this mountain range used to be a poor mountain, the so-called poor mountain, is the barren mountain that does not grow grass and trees. There is a folk saying: the guillotine road, the poor in the poor caves come. It means that the road must extend in all directions, extending far away, if it extends not far and there is no road suddenly, it is like a broken road, and the foreboding is not good; the mountain must be lush and green, surrounded by water, if there is a dry mountain where no grass and trees grow, the main is poor, the home is unstable, and the people are running around and migrating.

Poziling used to be a poor mountain, with no grass. At that time, the mushroom wandered around the corner of the countryside, prescribed prescriptions to the sick, and gave the unlucky people the horoscope, and gradually became famous, she did not collect money, but only instructed people to go to the temple to burn incense and worship God, and instructed to plant trees and grass in this poor mountain, people admired her, and planted incense and planted according to her instructions, and within a few years, the temple incense was prosperous, and the poor mountains were green and rich.

People gradually found that the poor mountains with grass and trees are like a lying dragon, and the once dry Songliang ditch has become the Songliang River, which has become a treasure land, and only the powerful people do not hesitate to choose a coffin in this good place at the expense of money and bumps in the road. According to the local saying: the head rests on the slope of the mountain, the foot pedals on the Songliang River, and regards this place as the feng shui treasure place for the burial of people in the yin house.

Since the formation of feng shui treasures, more and more burials have been made, small families have buried graves, and high-ranking officials and nobles have raised large tombs. The burial mound here is much larger and more numerous than the Gufang pile in Gu'an Zhaizi Village, and the yin qi is getting much heavier.

Walking on the road, the brothers Dongfang Mubai and Dongfang Qingluo didn't say a word, Dafu was humming a minor tune on the right, and Daifuku was reciting the Four Books and Five Classics on the left.

Wang Dashi didn't like Dongfang Mubai and Dongfang Qingluo from the bottom of his heart, not because he ran away from the horse and didn't marry the bride, but more because of the gap between the two in brocade clothes, pampering and growth. It's not just the two of them, he has a sense of estrangement and strangeness to all such people, and avoids them from afar. In the bottom of his heart, he turned over his childhood memories......

People are always looking forward to festivities, and children are especially looking forward to the Chinese New Year. The New Year's custom of Gu'anzhai Village is very strong, adults and children change into brand new clothes, go door-to-door will prepare a table of good dishes, and the children will set off firecrackers happily...... These were both there and non-existent in Wang Dashi's childhood. Wang Lichang did not have new clothes, so he would change himself and Wang Dashi into clean old clothes; Wang Lichang would take Wang Dashi to make two dishes of local vegetables and pour two bowls of home-brewed coarse grain and bitter wine...... The children played around, and every year they would go to Wang Dashi's courtyard to see the "earth cannon", and he was so ashamed that he didn't dare to go out. After the feast, the elders sit down, kowtow to the juniors and say auspicious, and the elders will distribute wealth to the juniors. The money distributed is gold and silver ingots, which are called New Year's money, and the fruits that are distributed, such as oranges, eggs, walnuts, etc., are called New Year's fruits. The wealthy families in Gu'anzhai Village distribute New Year's money to their children in bunches, and New Year's fruits are rare. Dongfang Mubai and Dongfang Qingluo hung gold butters and silver bracelets, and their peers in the village pulled long strings of money, and their bedside pillows placed New Year's fruits. In ancient times, people always believed that children were young, the real fire on their bodies was low, and they were easily disturbed by demons, and that the New Year's money could buy off the gods and suppress the years to ensure that the children were free from illness and disaster, and that the fruits of the New Year's were placed next to the pillow, which could calm the nerves, awaken the mind, and bring good fortune. These customs have been continued in Gu'anzhai Village...... However, Wang Dashi has never received the New Year's money from Wang Lichang, let alone the rare New Year's fruit...... Wang Dashi doesn't have these, he can only look at them. Probably because of his poor family background, probably because Wang Dashi is used to being "ugly", in the eyes of people, he has become a stupid fool, a joke after dinner, and a negative teaching material for adults.

In this way, Wang Dashi has become a stupid fool, deceived by others in friendship with others, and indifferent to others...... As the years went by, he was lonely, and he was lonely. Such an experience made him feel inferior, introverted, endured, patient, and accept his fate. He doesn't like words, and he always plays with them. Xu Xu caused his heart to pound every time he accosted someone, and he even blushed with shame and had a thick neck.

......

In embarrassment, Dongfang Mubai and Dongfang Qingluo had not eaten for two days, and Daifuku's right stomach was rumbling at this time. Wang Dashi took out two vanilla eggs from his pocket. This is Wang Li Chang boiled for him to pass by, he was not willing to eat it, at this time the egg has been swished into a dry egg, and is about to be distributed to the right and left of the great fortune.

Dongfang Qingluo was so hungry that he reached out and grabbed the egg, but the egg fell to the ground and shattered.

Seeing Dongfang Qingluo's domineering behavior, Dafuku shouted angrily, "It's really unlucky! Look at your unpromising appearance! A dog eats meat buns and sweeps the master's legs with his tail, are you even inferior to a dog?" Then, he slapped twice, causing Dongfang Qingluo to cover his shoulders and back, not daring to move.

Dongfang Mubai hurriedly came over and helped his younger brother Dongfang Qingluo.

"I'm going to change your character for you boys if you're fine! It's too bad, if you have this kind of virtue, I'll roll your neck into fritters." Daifuku picked up the vanilla egg on the ground, opened the shell, and taught a lesson while eating.

Wang Dashi took out two vanilla eggs from his pocket and gave them to Dongfang Qingluo and Dongfang Mubai, "I have prepared them for all of you, I still have them here, give them, one for each person!"

Dongfang Mubai took the egg: "Thank you!"

Wang Dashi nodded, and then handed another vanilla egg to Dongfang Qingluo. After Dongfang Qingluo took the egg, he slammed it directly on the ground, smashed it to pieces, and didn't look at Wang Dashi.

Dafuku here swallowed the egg on the right and shouted: "Oops, it's really hard, I thought that the mushroom had received a new apprentice, and I should get some delicious food on this day, which is a festive thing, hey, I actually ordered us to come out at night to guard the soul and catch ghosts! Hey, it's really hard to —— this egg, even if you eat a hundred, you can only stuff your teeth, block the throat tube, and eat only a light fart in your stomach, and you can't save a stick, and it's not enough to be half full. ”

When Wang Dashi heard this, he felt very uncomfortable, thinking that he had provoked everyone's celebration, if it weren't for this, the old man and Huang Xiuxian should always entertain them with a good meal.

Dongfang Qingluo turned around at this time, pointed to Dafu right and said: "You are more than twenty years older than me, I can't beat you today, hmph, one day I will beat these two slaps back!" and then said to Wang Dashi: "One day I will teach you a lesson!"

Dafu stared at Dongfang Qingluo on the right: "Little rabbit cub, you have such a bad temper, you say it again, you dare to say it again, as long as you dare to say it again, I will slap you two more times, one slap your face to the southwest, one slap your ass to the northwest—— see that both of you brothers came out of the mother's womb together, why are you so bad, you don't know how to lift, learn from your brother!"

Dongfang Qingluo was stubborn and did not say anything.

Wang Dashi felt innocent.

When a few people settled on Poziling, the dark clouds disappeared, the moon came out, and the wind blew slowly, cold and swishing.

Accustomed to the dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, several people did not feel afraid, but feared that a black shadow or monster would appear in the bleak moonlight.

Dafuyou complained at this time: "Hey, it's really hard, if it weren't for the mushroom master asking for our birthday, pinching our lifeline, this kind of place, hey, even the eighteen sedan chairs to carry us, we wouldn't come!

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a family not far from Poziling, the house was not big, emitting a soft light, and it was vaguely seen that there seemed to be a paralyzed woman sitting in front of the door, and a woman seemed to be sitting on the desk weaving.

"Hehehe...... I said that there is no endless road! You see, there is still light in the house on the hillside!" Dafu pointed to the front with his right hand and continued, "Wang Dashi, the four of us slept here tonight, and you accepted the incense bottle handed over by the mushroom master, and the female ghost also needs you to lead it back, whether the mushroom master awards you or praises you, that's all your credit! Oh, I forgot to tell you, you, lure the female ghost well, remember, don't turn your face on the way back to the ghost!" Here, folk common sense, you have to know, when people walk at night, there are three lights behind them, here, the ghost does not dare to go up, if you turn your face once, the light will go out, as long as the three lights are extinguished, the ghost will haunt people, you stunned green, you are so self-conscious!"

After speaking, Daifuku took a big stride and walked in front of the five people, and wanted to step into the room in one step.

But when I got to the hillside, I saw the house in front of me, and I couldn't get any near it.

After walking a long way, a few people were a little tired, so they sat down. Daifuku looked right at the room and marked an old trunk willow tree behind it that was bent over and drooping from its branches.

Daifuku said: "It's really hard, you all remember, next to the willow tree in front is the room." Hey, it's finally not far away, cough cough, it's time to be quiet, don't alarm people, close the door and turn off the lights, and treat us as black thieves and bandits!"

"As far as you are the most verbose, since you want to be quiet, don't keep quiet!" Dongfang Qingluo said angrily.

Dafuyou didn't expect this young age to be so sharp-mouthed, and when he grew up, he hurriedly taught a lesson to the east: "You little thing, don't shout, you can bear with Lao Tzu when he speaks, just treat me as your uncle and discipline you!"

As we got closer and closer to the room, no one spoke.

However, when he reached the crooked willow tree, he found that the room was still ahead.

"It must be in this place, yes," Daifuku pointed to his right, "-Look, this willow tree is still here—— it's really unfortunate, and as soon as it gets dark, it will be ghostly?"

After Dafuku finished speaking, several people looked forward, where are there any houses, it is obviously an empty tomb.

Several people were shocked into a cold sweat, turned around and ran.

Daifuku ran to the right and scolded: "Oh, it's really unfortunate, what we looked at just now is obviously a room with lights, how can it be a tomb? This, isn't this ...... Hey, it's just dark, and if it's the middle of the night, we'll not be alive!"
