Chapter 114: No Anger
"My son, my heart, how can you wash your clothes and leave your mother alone. In a house in Wangtang Village, a woman about 40 years old cried out. Behind her, a fat woman of about thirty years old patted the former's back with a sad face.
"Hey~ Blue Flower, this girl has no father at the age of two, her mother brought her up since she was a child, and now she is exactly sixteen or seventeen, and when she reaches the age of recruiting a son-in-law to support her mother, she didn't expect to encounter such a tragedy. Wang Laoqi led Li Ge and the three of them to stand at the gate and introduced them, moved into the house, and said bitterly to the crying woman, "Sister-in-law, you have to take care of your body." ”
"It's gone, it's gone, Blue Flower and her father left us and left early, and now, my hard-working child has left me, and it's not interesting for me to live. The mother of the deceased cried out, then suddenly got up and slammed her head against the wall.
"Sister-in-law!" Seeing this, Wang Laoqi exclaimed in surprise, ran into the house, and blocked the deceased's mother with the fat woman, and then helped him aside to enlighten him.
Outside the gate, the three people standing saw this scene, and they were all full of sorrow. For Li Ge, although he has seen this kind of scene more than once, every time he sees it, he will have an indescribable regret in his heart.
"Big brother, you help Jingchen to wait for me at the intersection, I'll go in and have a look." Li Ge glanced at the little monk with tears in his eyes and whispered quietly. Wu Youqiu heard this, nodded silently, and then led Jingchen to the side of the road.
In the midst of the woman's painful cry and the comforting sound of Wang Laoqi and the fat woman, Li Ge entered the house and squatted beside the corpse called Blue Flower to take a closer look.
This sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl has delicate skin and a pure appearance. Because she was drowned, at this time, her whole body clothes were close to her body, and her bumpy figure matched her innocent face, presumably in this Wangtang Village, it must be a village flower.
"Sister-in-law, this is a little master, he stayed at my house last night, and today he heard that something happened in the village, so let's see if it was done by an evil thing. Wang Laoqi saw that the sister-in-law in his mouth moved his eyes to Li Ge who entered the house, and hurriedly explained. When the woman heard this, she ignored Li Ge, but looked away and began to cry miserably.
"Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs. But when will this Heavenly Dao be fair? Since you have spawned tens of millions of people, but among these tens of millions of people, why do you want to let some people not get a good death? Could it be that all living beings are not dogs in your eyes, but flies and dogs?" Walking out of the house with a bitter frown, a thought of indignation rose in Li Ge's heart.
"How about the second brother, do you see something?" When Li Ge walked to the side of the road, Wu Youqiu asked.
"No, nothing out of the ordinary. Li Ge shook his head, bent over and touched Jingchen's head, and then stood up and said, "Let's go, big brother, let's go to the pond and have a look." ”
"Good. Wu Youyou responded, and then walked with Li Ge and Jingchen in the direction of the pond at the edge of the village.
There was no ripple in the calm pond, and after the three of them circled the pond, they still found nothing, and finally, they stood on the stone bank platform in the pond.
"If you don't notice a hint of ghostly energy, this is not easy to do. Wu Youqiu squatted on the stone bank and stretched out his hand to touch the pond water, "Pure dust, you said that there is a yin aura here, can you feel it from there?"
Jingchen shook his head, grabbed the back of his head and said, "When I got out of the car, the little monk felt that the qi here and the pure yang righteous qi in my body had a slight fluctuation, but now there is no fluctuation in the slightest. ”
"From this point of view, the strength of the ghost cultivators here should not be weak. Li Ge stood on the rocky bank and looked around again, and suddenly he saw that there seemed to be something in a weed pile by the pond, and hurriedly moved and ran over. When I got closer, I found that there was a black stone lion lying in the dry grass. This stone lion is exactly the same as the stone lion they saw at the entrance of the other village when they entered the village yesterday, and the lion was engraved with Taoist runes.
Glancing at the black stone lion that fell to the ground, Li Ge thought for a while and said, "There are stone lions at the head and end of the village in this village, and there must have been something important here before, so there will be this stone lion." Now, the two squatting stone lions have been damaged and have lost their aura, could it be that the evil things here have not been eliminated at that time?"
"It's possible, why don't we go and ask Uncle Wang?" Wu Youqiu heard this, and hurriedly agreed. Subsequently, the three of them moved into the village.
After the three found Wang Laoqi, they went back to the latter's house together. In the hall, Wang Laoqi heard Li Ge's inquiry, pondered for a long time, and then said, "I don't know when the stone lion at the entrance of the village is, since I can remember, the stone lion is there, in fact, behind our village, there is a squatting stone lion." As for why the squatting stone lion at the end of the village fell to the ground, it was because someone tied the cow there last month, and then the cow pulled the stone lion down. ”
"There is still a squatting stone lion at the back of the village?" Li Ge nodded, and then asked, "Uncle Wang, except for the last month, nothing strange has happened in your village before." ”
"Nope. Wang Laoqi shook his head without thinking, got up and walked to the gate and thought about it again, seemed to remember something, and hurriedly went back to the house and said, "By the way, when I was very young, I heard my grandfather say that the three squatting stone lions in the village seem to be used to suppress evil spirits, and I don't know what kind of evil they are." ”
At this point, Li Ge also knew that he couldn't ask why, so he immediately said, "Uncle Wang, can you take us to see the squatting stone lion behind the village?"
"Yes, you can come with me. Wang Laoqi nodded, and then led the three of them to the back of the village.
After a while, the three of them saw the third black stone lion. This stone lion faces the farmland behind the village, and its appearance and size are roughly the same as those of the other two squats, all of which are carved from black stones. But after a closer look, Li Ge found that the squatting stone lion behind the village had a fist-sized Qi Nanmu bead in its mouth.
After the four of them stood next to the stone lion at the back of the village for a while, Wang Laoqi said that he had something to do and left first. After the remaining three people observed beside the stone lion for a while, Wu Youqiu broke the loneliness with a puzzled opening.
"Second brother, these three squatting stone lions are placed at the head of the village, at the end of the village and at the back of the village, can you see something famous?"
"You see, this squatting stone lion has a Qi Nan pearl in its mouth, but the head and end of the village do not. Li Ge pointed to the stone lion's mouth, and then said, "In my opinion, this should be a formation." Qi Nan is the same as jade, raising spirits, the Qi Nan bead in the mouth of this stone lion should be a warm spirit bead, and it should be the effect of the spirit of the formation when placed here. ”
"I don't know anything about the formation, what do you say this formation is based on?" Wu Youqiu asked at this time.
"Most of my Taoist formations are according to the ten directions, nine palaces, eight trigrams, seven stars, six combinations, five elements, four elephants, three talents, two instruments, and one yuan. Li Ge said what he knew, then lowered his head and pondered.
