Chapter 4 The Three Wells of Kinmen
"Gongzi is right, our Golden Daomen will ask the government for the prisoner's birthday on the day before the execution, so that it can be recorded. I'm going to take the booklet to Childe. β
Chen Jindao took out the booklet and turned to the page that recorded the birthday of the third person who was beheaded today.
"Jiayin Renchen Bingwu Jiyou. β
Once reciting the mantra, his fingers calculated the person's eight-character life.
Jiayin was born in the year of the big stream, the moon of Renchen came out of the water for a long time, the Bingwu day came to the upper reaches of the sky, and he went to sleep in the earth.
After calculating this person's life, he explained to Chen Jindao: "In this person's eight characters, water accounts for more than one of his three soils, which belongs to the life of three waters and one soil. β
Once he said so much, he explained it very clearly, but Chen Jindao didn't understand a word.
"The old man doesn't know anything about the Yin and Yang Dao, and he still hopes that the son will make it clear. β
"Oh, sorry. I mean, if this person becomes a ghost, he will be strong in water. This person's eight-character year, month and day pillar are all water, but fortunately, the time pillar 'Ji You' belongs to the earth, and it is his own life. Even so, from now on, we should pay more attention to the things around us that have water. β
"The old man understands, thank you for your advice. β
"By the way, this is the treasure that the tutor asked me to bring. β
Once he took out the small wine gourd that the "Black Goose" had given to him.
"This?"
Chen Jindao looked at the small wine gourd, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it looked like an ordinary wine gourd sold in the market, and he didn't understand the magic of this thing, so he asked for a while: "What is the use of this treasure of the Venerable Master?"
Once asked, he thought to himself, this time it's miserable, the teacher only gave him this thing, didn't say anything, and didn't ask himself.
"Well...... this"
"Oh! Understand, the secret of heaven must not be revealed! Hahaha, since this is a treasure, how can it be easy for outsiders to know its usefulness, hahaha. β
I didn't know if Chen Jindao saw his mind and gave him the steps, or if he really thought so. I had to laugh along.
Suddenly, the trees in the yard were blown by the wind and whirred.
"This wind has an evil aura, and it must be that the devil has approached here. The housekeeper, for the sake of prudence, still called the knife and the bell to the living room, so that they would not be in any danger. β
"The son is reasonable, and the old man will go and call them out. β
"Wait, wait, I'm going to bother you to ask the golden knife to come out. β
"Childe rest assured. β
Chen Jindao went to Chen Xiaodao's room first, and saw that the wait in Xiaodao's room had not been extinguished.
Hearing the master knocking on the door, Chen Xiaodao was so frightened that he immediately stuffed the book he was reading under the bed, and ran to open the door in a panic.
"What are you doing inside, why did it take so long to open the door?"
"Back to Master, no, nothing ......"
"Okay, you go find Ling'er now, wait for me in the living room with her later, and I'll go get the golden knife now. β
"Yes, Master. β
Xiaodao said according to his master, he first went to Ling'er's room to call her, but Ling'er was not in the room at the moment, and Xiaodao had to look around to see where she went.
When passing by the small courtyard with a well, Xiaodao saw Ling'er sitting by the well washing clothes, so he walked over, "Ling'er, it's so late, why are you still washing clothes here?"
"It's you, senior brother, didn't I see that you and my father's dirty clothes were piled up and no one washed them, so I thought about washing you. β
"Ling'er, don't wash it, Master is looking for something for us. β
"I'm almost done washing, senior brother, go over first. β
"Don't wash, come with me first. β
"Oh, it's just one or two pieces missing, it's okay right away, senior brother, you go first. β
"Ling'er, come over as soon as you're done. β
"Got it, go quickly, senior brother. β
The knife couldn't call Ling'er, and he was worried that the master would scold him again if he went late, so he had to go to the living room first, leaving Ling'er alone in the small courtyard.
Ling'er finished her clothes and wanted to wash them with a bucket of water. She came to the well, and bent down to pick up the barrel by the well, and as soon as her ears approached the mouth of the well, she heard the sound of wind blowing in the well, and the wind was whirring, mixed with the sound of knocking, as if someone was knocking on the wall at the bottom of the well.
Knock, knock, knock......
She stretched out her head and looked into the well, but she could see nothing but the pitch black.
"Heyβ"
Ling'er shouted at the bottom of the well, and the shout bounced back to the bottom of the well.
Hey-Hey-Hey-
Then the well was as quiet as ever, and the sound of knocking was gone.
Ling'er thought she had misheard, and laughed at herself for making a fuss. She carried the bucket and threw it to the bottom of the well.
Plop β
Hearing the bucket into the water, Ling'er pulled the bucket with a swing of her arm, carried the water in the bucket, and poured it into the laundry tub.
When Suzu'er put the barrel back to the well, she heard the strange sound again.
Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......
This time, the voice struck harder and louder.
The moonlight shone on the wellhead, although it could not shine into the bottom of the well, but at least the upper part of the well could be seen clearly.
Ling'er looked at the bottom of the well again, and it was by the faint light in the well that she vaguely saw that there seemed to be something at the bottom of the well, and it was still climbing up.
The closer the thing got to the wellhead, the clearer and more impatient the sound of the tapping.
When the black thing crawled to the place where the moonlight and the darkness met, Ling'er could see the appearance of this thing clearly.
It's round and has long hair. The sound of thumping is the hairball hitting the wall of the well.
Ling'er thought that some wild cat had fallen into the well. When it was about to climb to the mouth of the well, Ling'er reached down and tried to pull it, "Cat, come, hold my hand." β
Suddenly, the hairball stopped moving, and it didn't climb up. Worried that she had scared the cat, Ling'er leaned into the well, trying to get closer to her.
As a result, the hairball flipped over, revealing its "face".
This, this is the third person who was beheaded today, he has turned into a ghost and climbed up from the well. What Ling'er just saw was not a hairball, it was the top of his head.
Ling'er noticed that something was wrong and was about to cry out in horror, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the ghost stuck out her tongue......
Chen Xiaodao arrived in the living room, and his master Chen Jindao also took the golden knife out.
"Where's Ling'er? Didn't I tell you to call her?"
"I called, but she was washing clothes in the small courtyard, and she said she would come over as soon as she was done......"
As soon as he heard the words "washing clothes", Chen Jindao and Yichao suddenly felt cold behind him, and he didn't say anything, and immediately ran to the small courtyard.
Chen Jindao arrived at the small courtyard one step faster than the previous one, and he saw that half of Ling'er's body had entered the well, while the other half of his body was still outside the well. He immediately grabbed Ling'er and dragged it out, but the ghost had already sucked Ling'er's mouth, and no matter how Chen Jindao dragged it, he couldn't drag Ling'er.
At this time, he also rushed to the well, and when he looked into the well, he could see that the ghost was sucking the bell.
Seeing that the situation was critical and he didn't want to think about it, he once opened the "Hell's Eye" and shot Dao power into the well.
Dao Li shook off the ghost, and the ghost retreated to the bottom of the well.
Chen Jindao hurriedly dragged out Ling'er, "Ling'er, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up......"
As soon as he took out the Dao Fu to suppress the wellhead, he turned to Chen Jindao and said, "Take Ling'er away first, and then go to a safe place." β
Chen Jindao picked up the bell and ran back to the living room, and after checking again whether the spell at the wellhead was stable, he was also ready to go to the living room.
Chen Xiaodao has been hiding in the corner of the small courtyard, he is so afraid that he only dares to show half of his head to watch, his hands and feet are trembling, and his mouth is still whispering "Ling'er".
I didn't blame him for being cowardly, "Let's go, it's dangerous here, let's go to the living room first." β
After everyone arrived in the living room, they carefully examined Ling'er's injuries.
The knife also came over, but was pushed away by Chen Jindao, and slapped him hard, "If Ling'er has three long and two short, I want your life!"
"The anger of the family, Miss Ling'er still has a trace of vitality, now is not the time to blame, the most important thing is to deal with that ghost first. β
Chen Jindao suppressed his anger, he walked to Ling'er's side, looked at his unconscious daughter, burst into tears, and fanned his face hard, "Ling'er, it's not good for Dad." Dad promised your mother that he would take good care of you, but Dad is not good, Dad is not good. β
Once he grabbed Chen Jindao and asked him to calm down, he must not mess up at this moment.
"Master, now that the ghost has been suppressed in the well by me, there will be a possibility of breaking through the suppression at any time, I need your help. β
Chen Jindao was not completely carried away by anger and sadness, and gradually regained his senses. He lifted the golden knife and said to Chen Xiaodao, "You stay and watch Ling'er." β
After speaking, he followed Yiji back to the small courtyard.
There was no movement in the small courtyard, and the Dao charm at the mouth of the well was also safely pasted on it.
The two of them were fully prepared, and once they lured the ghost out, Chen Jindao held the golden knife, and could slash at the ghost at any time.
Once looked at the bottom of the well through the "ghost eyes". The bottom of the well was empty, only the water in the well, calm and unremarkable.
"It's strange, this spell hasn't been broken, it stands to reason that this ghost should still be at the bottom of the well, why is it gone......?"
As soon as he turned around, he asked Chen Jindao how many wells there were in this mansion.
"Three mouthfuls. β
"Not good!"
The two of them realized that something was wrong, and feared that the ghost would run out of the other wells and hurt the people in the living room.
Just as they feared, the ghost had indeed climbed up from the other wells......
In the living room, Chen Xiaodao was under the bell and did not leave an inch. He blamed himself for not protecting Ling'er well, and he couldn't save Ling'er in a critical moment.
The knife held Ling'er's hand and hugged his head and cried, and he was sad and didn't notice the movement in the living room at all.
On the floor in the living room, a string of wet footprints was left. The footprints came from another yard and disappeared when they reached the knife.
The water dripping from the roof dripped onto the neck of the knife, and the knife felt cold in his neck, and touched his neck, it was water.
The moment he looked up, the ghost fell, staring at the knife face to face.
"Ahββ!h
This scream reached the ears of Yi Chao and Chen Jindao, who were rushing over.
"Oh no, something happened to the knife!"
When the two of them rushed to the living room, they only saw Ling'er still lying on the ground, but Chen Xiaodao's figure was missing.
