Chapter 65: The Secret Book (8)
Liu Changqing and Zhao Rou no longer went to Guan Zhang Hatetian, and went to the funeral incense garden together. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
On the way, Liu Changqing went to observe his fingers again, but he still felt a faint pain, and said: "This person's internal strength is really deep, I have never heard of it." The general told Zhao Rou about the fight with Zhang Haotian in the house, and Zhao Rou listened: "Yes, I have never seen it, Master's internal cultivation is already good, I have never seen anything better than Master." ”
Liu Changqing said: "No, Master told me that he has seen a lot of people with strong internal strength. I always thought that we were practicing swords, and the purpose of cultivating internal strength was to assist the way of swordsmanship. ”
Zhao Rou asked, "This is not some evil law, right?"
Liu Changqing said: "No, this is true, among the rivers and lakes, there are really many masters." ”
After a while, the two walked to the location of the burial incense garden pointed out by Zhang Qing, and saw that there were tall trees all around here, and there was no trace of the cemetery, so they sighed: "This cemetery has always been unmanaged, and it has gradually become abandoned. ”
At this time, the sky began to rain, and gradually dark clouds were everywhere, and after a while, the rain fell like pearls, and suddenly became violent. There are no hotels around, only to turn back to Ciping Temple.
The two of them started light work, ran quickly, and when they arrived under the eaves of the temple, Zhao Rou said: "This rain is falling so fast, I thought it was light rain! Liu Changqing protected Xiao Tianhua's urn, but it didn't get wet.
Then all of a sudden, the clouds cleared, the weather cleared, and the heavy rain seemed to be playing a joke on the two, and it stopped again.
The two looked at each other, both smiled dumbly, went out to rain heavily, and came back to avoid the rain, but the rain stopped abruptly. Zhao Rou said: "Senior brother, there won't be ghosts in this cemetery, right?"
Liu Changqing frowned and asked, "No, why do you say that?" Zhao Rou asked, "What? Does anyone else say that?" Liu Changqing said: "Hmm...... No one said anything, it was Master Zhang Qing who told me, but it wasn't what he said, he himself was often in the temple, rarely went out, and many things only listened to others. ”
Zhao Rou said: "I'm timid, this cemetery is already terrifying, if there is really a ghost...... Why are there ghosts everywhere in this Gangneung?"
Liu Changqing asked, "Why are there ghosts everywhere?" Zhao Rou said: "You take me to the Anping Inn, there are people there who say that the inn is haunted, and this is the case today." Liu Changqing said: "It's just a coincidence, when I chatted with this senior Xiao, he said that there are never any ghosts in the world, and people have many things that can't be explained, so they will shirk the ghosts." ”
Zhao Rou said: "Not necessarily, right? Some places are very evil, so please invite mages, and these mages will exorcise ghosts." Otherwise, how could there be so many rumors among the folklore?"
Liu Changqing said: "If you say it's a 'rumor', it's false, people can't see ghosts, mages exorcise ghosts, and support their families." ”
Zhao Rou said: "No, they will overtake many ghosts." You can't be wrong with that. ”
Liu Changqing laughed and said, "This is wrong again! If they can surpass the ghosts, they don't have to tell the world." Zhao Rou's face was full of doubts, and Liu Changqing said: "They are excessive, not for the dead, but for the living." Zhao Rou was skeptical, Liu Changqing pointed to Ciping Temple behind him and said: "Just like this person comes to this temple, it is to pray for the safety and tranquility of the people in the world." When a monk does some rituals, it is also for the living. ”
Zhao Rou sighed and said, "Alas, there are many things that are not clear. ”
Liu Changqing asked, "What?" Zhao Rou said: "When I was eight years old, a mage came to my family and said to my parents: If you want your two children to live safely, you must send them to a place thousands of miles away from home. That's why my sister and I came to ......."
Speaking of this, I felt that it was inappropriate, and seeing Liu Changqing turn his head, Zhao Rou said embarrassedly: "I...... I...... Forgot. ”
Liu Changqing sighed and said, "Master Zhang Yuan divined the hexagram for me, and kept saying that I should be calm and not impatient, and I should not rush for quick success. When am I in a hurry for quick success? This is what the hexagram says, if a person can be influenced by astrological hexagrams in his life, it will be no fun at all. Go to your mage, talk nonsense, hurt a lot, you are by your parents' side, how happy is that...... Alas!"
Zhao Rou gently patted Liu Changqing on the shoulder and said, "Senior brother, I am also very happy and interesting in the Golden Sect, and I don't regret being sent out by my parents." ”
Liu Changqing said: "I...... I'm happy, but I also miss my biological father and mother. ”
The two of them ate some dry food, and said that after a while, the rain had completely stopped, and they no longer entered the temple, wondering where to change into clean clothes. Liu Changqing said: "I thought of one thing, although there are no ghosts in the world, but 'money can make ghosts grind' is true, haha, why don't you find someone to find it for us?"
Zhao Rou said: "Bah, are you so rich, can you please move the son of the Zhang family?" Liu Changqing's mind suddenly stirred, and then he shook his head again, and said to Zhao Rou: "Let's go!"
When the two arrived in the small town of Jiangling, they successively found a few people in their forties and fifties to inquire about the funeral incense garden.
Liu Changqing knew that there must be a secret in it, so he went to a shop that sold coffins, ordered a coffin, and said to the shopkeeper: "My coffin is urgent, and it needs to be sent to the back mountain, you find a few locals with more strength to go with me." ”
The shopkeeper said, "If you want to find someone to carry the coffin, you must first give a deposit of two silver taels." Liu Changqing took out three taels of silver and asked, "Are these enough?" The shopkeeper saw that a rich man had arrived, his attitude changed greatly, he nodded and said, "Yo! This young master! Enough, enough, is to find dozens of people, not to mention carrying them to the back mountain, that is, the back sea, that is more than enough." Liu Changqing handed over the silver taels, the shopkeeper smiled, and hurriedly usurped the silver taels.
After a while, the shopkeeper went out to find more than ten people to come in, Liu Changqing said: "You don't need so much, which of you is more familiar with the local area?" The shopkeeper said: "This master! are all locals, look at this young man, he is tall and big, there will be no leaks, and then look at this one, even one person can carry two coffins." ”
Liu Changqing glanced at him and said, "What nonsense?" The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes! Yes! You can pick a few that you are satisfied with, and you can pick whatever you want." ”
Liu Changqing pointed to the four older ones and said, "A few of you, bring shovels and hoes, go with me!"
The shopkeeper told them outside that a rich man had come, and everyone was rushing to do it, when he heard that he was going to bring a shovel and hoe, and hurriedly said, "We will only carry it to the place, and leave nothing else." ”
Liu Changqing simply took out the money bag, counted the broken silver little by little, counted to eight taels, everyone's eyes were red, Liu Changqing asked: "Even if it is two taels of silver per person, don't you work?" Where do the four of them care about what work they want to do? Hurriedly said: "Go! Go! Help bury people, I am the best!"
The rest of the people who were not selected looked disappointed, and one of them immediately jumped out, pointed to a thick-armed person selected by Liu Changqing and said, "Wang Pizi, when have you buried someone? He turned his head to Liu Changqing and said, "Master, I will dig the pit myself, as long as there is a stick of incense, you will be satisfied." ”
Liu Changqing said: "It has just rained, and it is very simple to dig a pit and bury people. The man said, "Master, the little one's name is Hu Hai, and he has been doing this business for 30 years, so you are satisfied! You can ask casually in the local area." ”
Liu Changqing's price was enough for them to work without eating or drinking for half a year, everyone volunteered, Liu Changqing said: "Okay, I am entrusted by someone to go to the Houshan Burial Incense Garden, whoever wants to go, come with me!"
When he said this, more than ten people immediately made an uproar, and immediately some people were unwilling to do it, Hu Hai said: "This ...... This one...... Master, this place ...... You can't go, you can't go. ”
Liu Changqing knew that they were afraid of ghosts, and said, "Okay, I only need two people now, ten taels of silver per person, and I will leave now." After saying that, he turned his head and went out.
Liu Changqing was waiting at the door, Hu Hai followed first, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go!" One person shouted in the back: "The surname is Hu, let's do this business, don't you want to die?" Hu Hai didn't seem to hear it, and said to Liu Changqing: "This master, you give me a deposit of five taels, and I will go home and come out with you." Liu Changqing nodded and said, "Okay." After counting five taels and handing it to him, Hu Hai said, "I'll be back in a while." ”
Wang Pizi saw Liu Changqing's white flowers and silver taels handed to Hu Hai, he couldn't bear it, so he also came up and whispered: "That'...... There is a ghost in that place, and I haven't been there for a long time, do you really want to bury people?"
Liu Changqing nodded and said, "Exactly." I have a relative who is there, and I can't find his grave now, so I have to help find it. Wang Pizi thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, I'll do it." Liu Changqing also gave him five taels of silver, and the people behind him scattered in a hurry, and when he left, he said in a hurry: "Don't die for money, fools will go back!" "That's a ghost land, the land can't be moved, and if you move, you'll die." "Wang Pizi, we'll go to your house to carry you every few days!"
The shopkeeper came out and said, "Master, I didn't know that you were going to the funeral incense garden, and ...... in this garden It's not lucky in the garden!" Liu Changqing took out another tael of silver, handed it to him, and asked, "You explained it to me." ”
The shopkeeper's expression was solemn, and he said: "Legend has it that a few years ago, there were some squires and nobles buried in that place, but then somehow it declined, and some homeless people were also buried there, but then I heard that the feng shui there was not good, so no one dared to go again." Do you know what the reason is?" Liu Changqing opened his eyes and looked at him, and he said: "There are tomb robbers from other places, I heard that some rich people were buried in the burial incense garden before, and for a while, many tomb robbers came over, but one came, one died, and among the generals, it was said that it was unlucky there a few years ago, so no one dared to bury people again." The tomb robbers did not dare to come again. That's not a curse, what is it?"
Zhao Rou was surprised on the side: "Ah! I just said, there is ...... The ......" said the shopkeeper, "Yes, there are many bold people who are not convinced, and go to find out the reason, and when they stay there at night, there are several violent deaths." The garden used to be guarded, but now no one has gone there. If it's not a ghost, what is it?"
Liu Changqing said: "Can't the dead people find out the reason?" The shopkeeper said: "Don't talk about the reason, the people who checked also died, and these people died, bringing some evil spirit, so they hurt people again." ”
Liu Changqing said: "I don't believe in any evil spirits. The shopkeeper was silent, and said, "I hope it's okay now." ”
After a while, Hu Hai had returned from home, Liu Changqing led Zhao Rou, Hu Hai and Wang Pizi carried the coffin, and went to the burial incense garden together.
