The years of reselling the haunted house

I looked at Xu Changhe and Xu Dongyang: "Have you lived in Shoushantun for 50 years like this, from a young man to a white-haired old man?"

Xu Dongyang still maintained his taciturn character, and did not respond to my questions.Maybe that's why Xu Changhe kept him.

But Xu Changhe nodded: "There is nothing more important than life. After two lessons, the villagers have firmly believed in this curse. Gradually, the villagers have become accustomed to the life trapped in the village. The villagers' labor , and completely self-sufficient, we have lived like this until now..."

I nodded, looked at the clay sculpture on the altar, and said, "Then tell me about this clay sculpture? Why did my grandfather erect such a statue?"

Xu Changhe sighed and said: "Actually, we didn't live here, but on the other side of the mountain. It's just that our village suffered a catastrophe at that time, and it was your grandfather who rescued us and settled us here again. He said that this is the safest place for us, and we will not be disturbed here. But unexpectedly, there will be a curse later, which makes many villagers say that your grandfather deliberately led us to this curse Later, your grandfather said that he would go out to find a solution, and he would come to rescue us after he found it. We asked him what solution he was looking for, and he said he didn’t know.”

I snorted: "Since my grandfather said he could come back to save you, why do you bother to ask the truth?"

Xu Changhe nodded: "Now I know that Shoushan kept his promise. But at that time, most people didn't trust him. So your grandfather erected such a statue, made his image into a god, and used that He put a posture on the altar. He said that he sealed a ray of his remnant soul into the statue. Although he left, the villagers can come here to worship him on the first day and the 15th day of the lunar new year. Because of his Kneeling there in such a posture, he can't enjoy the incense of the villagers. On the contrary, every time the 15th day comes, his body will feel unbearable pain. In this way, the villagers can remind him to find a way to lift the curse on the 15th day of the new year. You can recall, when your grandfather was in the 15th day of junior high school, was he different from usual?"

Hearing this, I was shocked.During the time I lived with my grandfather, I knew that my grandfather would lock himself in his room every half a month.It is said to us that we want to worship God, and outsiders cannot be present.

This has become a habit of grandpa, and later, we are all familiar with it.But I never found any statues of gods and Buddhas in my grandfather's room, which became a mystery of my childhood.Until the grandfather died, this mystery has not been solved.

I never expected that this would be the case.Grandpa locked himself in the room at the time, not because he was worshiping any god or Buddha, but because his body was in great pain and he refused to let us see it, so he chose to bear it alone.

And this pain was actually brought to him by the people in front of him who had saved the mountain.

Chapter 321

Grandpa's behavior at that time lasted for decades, so that in the end, our whole family was no stranger to it.On the 15th day of each month, everyone watched as grandpa locked himself in his room as a convention, and no one asked.

This habit continued until Grandpa died.

Now I have a rough inference. Grandpa may not have found the way to break the curse until he died, so he had to leave me the map in the end, and asked me to explain it to the people who guarded the mountain on his behalf.

The villagers of Shoushantun, after waiting for 50 years, finally met the descendants of Shoushan Lord, and thought that I had brought them a way to break the curse, so they were very excited and shouted that they were relieved.

But who would have thought that I came here purely to avoid disaster, how could I have any way to save them.As for what the third uncle said, the idea of ​​getting back my natal lamp is even more out of the question.I've been here for two days, and I don't even have a clue.

Xu Changhe saw that I looked a little lonely, and hurriedly said: "Do you understand? What I said was not half a lie. It was really decided by your grandfather. The reason why I brought you here is because I admire you Grandpa kept his word. Even though it was 50 years later, he still sent descendants to manage us. Besides, although your grandpa is gone, he has sealed a wisp of soul in this statue. It's special. This remnant soul will not return to your grandfather's body because of your grandfather's death. So after your grandfather's death, the three souls and seven souls on his body are not complete. This also makes it impossible for him to reincarnate smoothly."

I was shocked when I heard this: "Master Xu, you mean, my grandfather is dead, but he cannot be reincarnated?"

I have been with Uncle San for so long, and I know a lot of routines in this metaphysics.I know that after death, except for those who have resentment in their hearts and refuse to reincarnate, such as ghosts in haunted houses, etc., they should smoothly fall into reincarnation and be reincarnated. This is the natural law of the three realms and six realms.

However, not being able to reincarnate after death is the most severe punishment for both human beings and ghosts.It belongs to one of the bigger catastrophes in the two worlds of humans and ghosts.

So I was extremely shocked when I heard the news that my grandfather had suffered a death calamity but was unable to reincarnate after his death.

Xu Changhe patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad, these are your grandpa's choices. What we need to do now is to remove the seal of this clay sculpture and release the remnant soul of your grandpa inside. Let their souls unite and reincarnate smoothly. This is the most consoling thing you can do as the grandson of Shoushan. In fact, I have always believed that your grandfather will give us an explanation, but you know, I also I can't influence other people's thoughts, so I can't stop them from worshiping. Now it's finally time for you to come, so I'll bring you here quickly, I hope it's not too late..."

I looked at Xu Changhe: "Master Xu, you mean, we have a way to break the seal and release Grandpa's remnant soul?"

Xu Changhe nodded: "Of course. And only you can do it, because to lift the seal, you need the blood of Shoushan or the descendants of Shoushan. After the seal is released, Shoushan's soul will naturally come out."

"Okay, hurry up then. What do I need to do?"

I can't wait to hear that grandpa can be relieved of the death disaster.I can't just watch my grandfather pass away, and his soul is still wandering in the world, suffering the pain of being unable to reincarnate.

"It's actually very simple. I have a silver needle here. You pierce the middle finger of both hands and drip the blood onto the top of your grandfather's clay sculpture. The seal set by your grandfather can only be broken by blood that has the same attributes as him." open."

With that said, Xu Changhe took out a silver needle from his body and handed it to me.

I took the silver needle and looked around.

That Xu Dongyang moved a wooden stool from the side, and I stepped on the wooden stool to the altar.

Both Xu Changhe and Xu Dongyang looked up at me.Xu Changhe signaled to me that I can follow his method.

I looked down at the statue of my grandfather kneeling on the altar, which strengthened my determination.I pricked the middle fingers of both hands with silver needles. The silver needles are very thin, and it doesn't hurt too much when pierced. Instead, it feels a little numb.

Two drops of blood gushed out, and I was about to drip the blood onto the top of the statue's head as Xu Changhe said.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a burst of noisy voices from outside the ancestral hall, and some people were shouting loudly.

I froze for a moment, then looked up to the door.Xu Changhe and Xu Dongyang were also very surprised, their brows frowned, and there was suspicion on their faces.

Seeing that I stopped, Xu Changhe urged me: "Hurry up, drip the blood. Shoushan will be saved."

Xu Dongyang also stared at me.A nervous look appeared on his usually calm face.

But I wiped the blood on my hands and jumped off the altar.It's not that I don't want to save Grandpa's soul, but that I clearly heard the voice of Pang Dahai among the shouts outside.

At this time, the voice outside became clearer.Pang Dahai's muffled voice sounded very clear.Hearing his yelling, it seemed that he had clashed with someone, the tone was very intense, and the tone was getting higher and higher.

I told Pang Dahai to go back to his residence, why did he come here?He must have encountered something, and the matter was urgent, so he came here.

Thinking of this, I couldn't go any further, so I hurried to the door.

Xu Changhe and Xu Dongyang couldn't stop me at this time, so they had to follow behind and rushed out of the ancestral hall.

We went out of the gate of the ancestral hall and found several people outside, pushing and swearing.Xu Ershu, Xu Laogou and Xu Meilu led a few villagers and surrounded Pang Haihai.

Fat Dahai was yelling my name, and he seemed to be rushing into the ancestral hall.

I rushed over in a hurry, pushed the people outside away, and looked at Fat Dahai's miserable face.It may be that the people in this village are all old men and old ladies, who pushed and shoved Pang Haihai, but he didn't dare to fight back.As a result, his face was scratched like a cat, with several blood spots.It looks scary, but it should be some small skin trauma.

"What are you doing fat man?" I asked loudly.

Pang Dahai saw me, as if he had seen a savior, he hurried up and took my arm: "Boss, go, follow me back."

I pushed his hand away: "Don't make trouble, fat man, I have business to do..."

Who knows that Fat Dahai didn't know which tendon was wrong, his hands were like iron hoops, holding my arm tightly, pulling me back, shouting: "There is no business, it's not important, Go back and have a look."

The fat man is so powerful, I can't pull him at all, I was dragged by him step by step towards the direction of the residence.

Chapter 322 Wang Po

Seeing this, Xu Ershu yelled from behind: "Aren't you tired of living? I'm going to kill you."

Xu Changhe stopped Xu Ershu again, and came over and asked, "Brother, what happened? Tell me, and I will help you solve it."

Pang Dahai waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with you, it's our brother's business, and we will take care of it when the boss returns."

I had no choice but to smile wryly at Xu Changhe: "Master Xu, wait for me to go back and have a look before I come back to do that thing?"

Xu Changhe's face was very ugly, but he didn't say anything else, he just snorted from his throat, which was regarded as a response to me.

Pang Dahai almost half pulled and half supported me, and brought me back to my residence.

Pang Dahai didn't speak any more along the way, and I was wondering what happened to make Pang Dahai so excited?That residence is just our temporary foothold, and there is nothing too important?If it was an accident, could it be that the stones I buried were discovered?Or is there something wrong with the gnat in the pot?

Other than that, I can't think of any other circumstances that could make Pang Dahai call me back in spite of everything.

So as soon as I entered the gate, I looked at the place where I buried the stone, and found that everything was normal there, and there was nothing unusual, so I asked Pang Haihai: "What happened? I have business..."

Pang Dahai spat: "Hey, what's the matter? You have to come back if you have something to do. My business is much bigger than yours."

As he spoke, Pang Dahai couldn't help but dragged me into the house.

The house was just as it had been when I left, and there was nothing serious about it.

Pang Dahai breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, slumped on the stool, and asked me cautiously: "Boss, you haven't done anything about your work over there, have you?"

I didn't understand what he meant, so I had no choice but to answer: "What the hell, you called me out just as I was about to do it. I said fat man, what's going on, please explain to me quickly."

Pang Dahai smiled wryly: "Boss, please thank me. You almost got tricked..."

"I was deceived? What do you mean?" I knew that Pang Dahai would make trouble, so I heard him say that and hurriedly asked.

"After the two of us separated, I went to the residence as you said. When I got to the gate, before I came in, I met someone..."

"Who did you meet?"

"Do you still remember that when we were walking in the village, we met a hunchbacked old lady? At that time, she was still talking about lunatics, fools, queen mothers and so on..."

I nodded. It wasn't long before this happened, so I naturally remembered it.At that time, the white-haired hunchbacked old lady was walking with a cane in one hand and a basket in the other. I clearly remember what she was saying at that time: Crazy is not crazy, stupid is not stupid, riding a white horse all the way west, Dust to dust, dust to dust, facing the west to worship the Queen Mother...

It's just ridiculous that Fat Dahai didn't memorize those two lines of the ballad, and instead said that he was a lunatic, a fool, a queen mother or something.

But I was not in the mood to tease him at this moment, I just urged him: "I remember that old lady, did you meet her at the door?"

Pang Dahai nodded: "That's right. At that time, she was standing under an old willow tree not far from the door, which was the place where Xu Dongyang greeted you that day. She was waving to me before I entered the door. I didn't want to answer She, but she just separated from you at that time, and she was bored, so she walked towards the big willow tree. As a result, when she got there, the old lady hurriedly asked me to find you, saying that she must find a way no matter what. To pull you back, don't do what Xu Changhe and the others asked you to do."

"Is there such a thing? Then you believe the words of this crazy woman? She is crazy, how can you prove that what she said is true? Fatty, you are too easy to trust people."

Pang Dahai waved his hand: "Boss, you underestimate me too much. How can I easily believe her words? First of all, when the old lady told me those words, she was not crazy at all, and her words were very clear. And she said it with certainty. Also, do you know who she is?"

"who is it?"

"She said she was the queen. Didn't the bearded lady who saved us tell us to come to the queen? She said that the queen could tell us the truth. When the queen came out, I naturally chose to believe her. Of course, I also have a gamble. Ingredient, if I made a wrong bet and ruined your affairs, boss, then I'm sorry, you...you can deduct my wages."

As Pang Dahai was talking, the last sentence suddenly came out, which made me dumbfounded.

But I was surprised to hear that the old lady was Wang Po.Originally, we were worried about how to find this Wang Po, but we didn't expect that she would come to the door by herself.

I asked Pang Dahai again: "Then she didn't say anything, why didn't she let me listen to Xu Changhe and the others?"

"Before I had time to say this, Wang Po urged me to find you. She also said that you can go to her after you come back safely. But you can only go there at night. She also said not to let anyone People know your whereabouts." Fat Dahai said, scratching his head with his hands: "Anyway, that's all I can remember. Boss, can you believe what she said?"

I smiled wryly and said: "Is it believable, you also pulled me back. Fortunately, the matter is not in a hurry, wait for me to find Mrs. Wang to ask clearly, and then decide how to go next."

We stayed at the residence for a while, and it was time for dinner again.

Xu Changhe sent someone to look for us, I was worried that he would ask me what happened to me, so that Pang Dahai pulled me back.Because no matter what I say, I feel that it is not convincing.As a result, Xu Changhe didn't say a word about this, he just asked when I would go to the ancestral hall again?

I pushed that I would go another day, but Xu Changhe and the others didn't say anything.It's just that I can see from their eyes that they are a little annoyed in their hearts, but they are firmly pressed down.

I'm very uneasy, if they have any plans for me, then these two days of waiting have almost reached their limit.Then if their goals are not achieved, things we don't want to see are likely to happen.

So tonight, I have to find Wang Po and figure out some things before I can prepare for the next step.

That day's dinner, Xu Changhe and the others still gobbled it up as usual, with their mouths full of oil.But Pang Dahai and I had nothing to eat because of our preoccupations, so we left early and went back.

Back at the residence, Pang Dahai and I began to prepare to find Wang Po.But Wang Po didn't tell Fatty where she lived before leaving, which made it difficult for both of us.

Although the village is not big, it is not so easy to find someone at night while avoiding other people's attention.

Chapter 323

I leaned against the head of the bed, thinking carefully about what had happened in the past two days.Many things that happened were unexpected, but after thinking about it carefully, they were reasonable.

For example, if this Wang Po suddenly appeared, if she really wanted me to find her, it would be impossible not to leave us her address.

After thinking about it like this, my mind suddenly flashed, and I thought of those two inexplicable words we heard Wang Po read during the day.

"Crazy is not crazy, stupid is not stupid, ride a white horse all the way west, dust to dust, dust to dust, facing the west to worship the Queen Mother..."

The two sentences in this have a direction, which is "west".

All the way to the west, facing the west sky.Does this mean that we want to find her, just leave our house and go west?Wang Po should be surnamed Wang. Does the Queen Mother refer to herself?

I told Pang Dahai my question.After hearing this, he also took it seriously, nodded again and again, praised me for being smart, and said that it must be the case.

I know that my discovery is actually not very clever, and Wang Po's instructions are too obvious.But at this moment, we can't think of any other way to find Wang Po.I can only try it out based on this discovery.

In short, no matter what Wang Po said is true or not, we must find her tonight.Otherwise, Xu Changhe will definitely take me to the ancestral hall again tomorrow.At that time, when I saw the clay sculpture of my grandfather, my brain became hot, and I was anxious to remove the seal, and I prepared to follow Xu Changhe's method without thinking about it.When I think about it afterwards, the approach at that time was indeed a bit hasty.They all listened to Xu Changhe's one-sided words, and the origin of the grandfather's clay sculpture was also told by Xu Changhe.Once Xu Changhe is lying to me, then I will completely fall into the trap he set up.

Pang Dahai and I stayed in the room until dark, and then went to the backyard.I stuck to the base of the wall and listened, and it was the same as yesterday, full of noisy voices.Needless to say, those villagers must have absorbed the essence of the moon in the street behind.

After waiting for about half an hour, the sound outside gradually subsided.Pang Dahai pointed outside: "Boss, shall we go?"

I shook my head: "Didn't Wang Po say, let me go alone? You wait for me at home, so you can deal with anything."

Fat Dahai nodded: "Okay, boss, you still step on my shoulders."

Saying that, Fat Dahai squatted down and asked me to climb the wall.

Just as I was about to go up, I suddenly thought of something, pulled Pang Haihai up, and said, "Come on, Fatty, let's change clothes."

Pang Dahai was stunned: "Change clothes? What are you doing changing clothes?"

I whispered: "Fatty, I think Xu Changhe and his group are probably staring at us now. You wear my clothes and go east. When you leave and lure them away, I will go west again, hoping to deceive you." Come to them."

Fat Dahai nodded, and gave me a thumbs up: "Boss, I'm convinced, or you're still a ghost."

Pang Dahai took off his coat and exchanged it with mine.

It's just that our bodies are quite different, and my clothes are too tight for him.And I wore his clothes like a robe.

But at this time, I can't care about these things anymore, Pang Dahai was wearing my clothes, stepped on my shoulders and climbed up, almost trampling me to death.

After a lot of effort, I finally sent him to the wall.Then I also climbed up to the top of the wall and looked outside with my head.

Pang Dahai jumped off the wall, looked around, and then ran down towards the east.

I leaned on the wall and watched for a while, but I didn't find any movement, and no one was following the fat man.
