The years of reselling the haunted house

Many people from Goddess Village were guarding the scene, and they kept it as it was.The white wax on the star positions ordered by the third uncle has also been replaced with a few sticks of incense.

It wasn't long before we arrived at the scene, and the watchman Li Mu also arrived with a paper figurine.

Li Mu put the paper stick on the ground and said to the third uncle: "Li Daochang, with my means, I can only make it like this. As for whether it will be done or not, it's up to you."

When I saw the paper-stitched figure, it was indeed much more detailed than what I saw before, and that face was exactly like Li Zhun's.But I know that whether this kind of paper binding technique is superb or not, likeness is not the only criterion for judging, otherwise, just find a good painter and draw a realistic face.

Li Mu's paper piercing technique should be extremely brilliant.Hearing what Li Mu said, the third uncle hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Li Mu was joking, if your paper piercing can't succeed, then it can only be because Li Dongbin's Taoism is not good enough, and it has nothing to do with your paper piercing technique." .”

After finishing speaking, the third uncle greeted me to cooperate with him to start setting up at the scene.

The whole scene will be used by the third uncle to do a big ritual.Not only must Li Zhun be buried, but also Li Zhun and the spiritual reincarnation on the armor must be transcended.

Regarding this kind of ritual, since the highlight is still the burial, it is strictly speaking a legal burial.

Third Uncle is already very familiar with the method of burial. Even I can do some steps, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

During the process of the third uncle's funeral, I also gradually understood the purpose of the third uncle in asking Li Mu to make a paper figurine.He wanted the paper figurine to replace Li Zhun, so that the intelligence on the armor would not need to use Li Zhun's heart to form a soul.

The main step is to hold an important burial ceremony first. Some important figures in the Goddess Village participated in this ceremony. After the third uncle also asked about the burial customs in the Goddess Village, everything was carried out according to the local customs.

The people in Shennvzhai witnessed the burial process of the former general Li Zhun. Since Li Zhun's body was found, after the burial, the mission that had suppressed Shennvzhai for hundreds of years came to an end.When Li Zhun was buried in the ground, although it was a heavy occasion, the villagers in the Goddess Village still let out a burst of cheers.

Before Li Zhun's burial, Li Mu, the watchman, held a small willow leaf knife for cutting paper and slashed between the eyebrows of Li Zhun's corpse.The knife was so sharp that Li Zhun's eyebrows were cut open. There was no blood in it, but a reddish viscous substance.Li Mu took a little of the viscous substance, melted it, mixed it with cinnabar and other pigments, dipped it in with a vermilion pen, and formed a heart on the chest of the paper figurine.

The third uncle told me that in the paper piercing technique, there is a magical technique called painting the heart.

A paper figurine has no soul without a heart. After drawing a heart, a skilled paper craftsman can give life to the paper figurine.In this way, after the burial, the paper man can remain in the underworld to accompany the buried owner.

And what he asked Li Mu to do was to draw a heart for the paper figurine. With this heart that could be faked, the intelligence born on the armor could be sublimated into a spirit body, merged into the six realms, and reincarnated.This is also what the intelligence on the armor has always wanted to do.This is also the fulfillment of the third uncle's promise to Lingzhi.

The place where the former general Li Zhun was buried was still at Kaiyang, the seven-star position he chose.

Before the burial, several elders from Shennvzhai came to ask the third uncle, Li Zhun's body turned into a mummy after he was buried before, should he change the place this time?

The third uncle told them that the reason why Li Zhun turned into a mummy was partly due to Feng Shui, but more because of his own resentment, which has not dissipated, which led to him becoming a mummy.And the knife he just let Li Mu draw between Li Zhun's eyebrows, on the one hand, was to make Li Mu feel happy, and on the other hand, it was also a physical way to eliminate Li Zhun's resentment.

Chapter 415 Farewell

I listened to it and didn't know whether what he said was true or not. I had never heard Uncle San talk about these theories.In short, the third uncle bluffed the people in the Goddess Village into convincing, and now he regards the third uncle as a god-man.

Two high-quality wooden coffins have been prepared here in the Goddess Village. Anyway, the most important thing here is wood.After drawing the paper figurine's heart, Third Uncle asked me to put the armor and the paper figurine into one coffin, and Li Zhun's body into another coffin.

Li Zhun was buried in the Kaiyang position, while the armor and paper figure were buried in the Tianji position.

Kaiyang and Tianji echo each other from afar.Focusing on Kaiyang, with Tianji as the protection, it is in harmony with the Fengshui topography of Mount Yi, which is the best.

After all the funeral ceremonies were over, the third uncle finally let out a sigh of relief, and he relaxed his tense nerves.

Since then, we set off from Yanyan Town to Shennvzhai. We have stayed up for two days and one night, and our bodies are exhausted.When the matter here was settled, the people from Shennvzhai brought two soft sedan chairs again, and carried me and my third uncle back.

On the soft sedan, I almost didn't fall asleep.

When I returned to the lobby of the Goddess Palace, I saw Lao Xiao waiting there alone.I stepped forward and asked where Liang Yue was?

Old Xiao said with a smile: "They invited Liang Yue's parents out, and Liang Yue was talking with her parents inside. Are you done?"

I nodded, feeling relieved for a while: "It's going well. Liang Yue's parents are fine, that's great, we have successfully completed the task this time."

Liang Yue and her biological parents met for the first time, and there was probably a lot to say, and we couldn't disturb them, so we stayed in the lobby with Lao Xiao and chatted with each other.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the third uncle said that it seemed that he would spend the night in the Goddess Village again tonight.

Sure enough, the people from Shennvzhai soon came to arrange our accommodation, because it would be too dangerous to leave here at night.

After a while, Liang Yue walked out with her parents with red eyes.

Her biological parents also looked ordinary, with thin bodies and ugly complexions.It can be seen that before today, they must have been imprisoned, so suffering is certain.

But since they came out, their eyes had been fixed on Liang Yue.The two of them, one on each side, held Liang Yue's hand tightly, as if they were afraid that Liang Yue would leave if they let go.

This kind of family affection touched us very much.

After Liang Yue's introduction, her parents expressed their gratitude to us.

With red eyes, Liang Yue squeezed out a smile, and said to us: "They refused to go with me, saying that they owed the Goddess Village, and they would spend the rest of their lives to repay it. Let me go back to my adoptive parents..."

This was beyond our expectations. In my opinion, we rescued Liang Yue's parents. They should be happy to follow us back to the city to live.

Liang Yue continued, "I've thought about it, and I respect their opinions."

The third uncle nodded: "Yue girl, don't worry. Now this goddess village can no longer live here. The rocks on the top of the mountain may pour down at any time and destroy the entire village. Those elders have also decided , I will prepare for the relocation tomorrow. If you have a new address by then, you can come back anytime you want.”

Liang Yue also nodded. At this time, the elders of Shennvzhai arranged for us to prepare a new residence.

That night, Goddess Village originally prepared a grand banquet to entertain us, but we were too tired, so we politely declined.

Liang Yue lives with her parents.The three of us lived together, I don't know what happened to them, but I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.This sleep lasted until dawn, and I didn't have time to have a dream.

Early the next morning, my third uncle woke me up.It is said that Goddess Village has prepared a farewell ceremony to send us off.

I thought it was quite grand. They carried us in soft sedan chairs and sent us to the mother-in-law temple along the way we came.

Granny Tu was also standing in front of the temple, and Liang Yue hurried forward to bid farewell to Granny Tu.Granny Tu took Liang Yue's hand reluctantly.

Originally, when we came to the Goddess Village, it felt like we had entered a magic cave, and we wished we could leave as soon as possible.But now that parting is imminent, they feel inexplicably sad.

Our sadness is not because of anything else.

It's because the villagers here, in fact, they are not considered bad people, on the contrary, they are all simple people.They are loyal, keep a promise, and take root here for a lifetime, or even a few lifetimes.Such a person is actually worthy of respect.

As for those weird customs, in fact, they can't be completely blamed on them.After all, they are also for the survival of the whole village.

The elder of Goddess Village, the aunt who came to the gate of the village to collect the medicine, came to the third uncle, handed the two medicine bottles to the third uncle and said, "Master, the white bottle of these two medicines is for Goddess... Oh no, it’s for Liang Yue. She came to our Goddess Village. We used medicine to hurt her a lot, and the blood in her body is also poisonous. This medicine can help her clear the blood, but it will take a certain amount of time to recuperate. Recovery. The dosage of these medicines should be able to help her completely detoxify."

The third uncle nodded: "Then I will thank the elder for Miss Yue. Then the blue bottle is..."

The elder said: "The blue bottle is to detoxify the girl who was rescued by you. With this drug, the process of human molt will be suppressed. With some rehabilitation treatment, it should be able to recover in half a year." .”

The third uncle smiled and said: "It seems that the elder has really discovered his conscience this time. As for the relocation of your village, since you have not left the mountain for too long, due to the relationship between water and soil, it is better to find a place in the mountain to settle down first." It will be appropriate to move to towns one after another after half a year."

The elder nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you. We have lived in Sishan for hundreds of years, and we really cannot leave here. I will ask everyone for their opinions and see if they are willing to leave Sishan .”

While talking, the third uncle suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked me: "Nephew, didn't we bring Mr. Wu's cane with us when we came? Why didn't we see you holding it?"

When the third uncle asked, I just remembered and slapped my head: "I have a memory, I left it in Sister Hua's hotel room at the time, and I forgot to take it with me when I was leaving in a hurry."

"Okay." The third uncle said to the elder again: "Sister Hua's hotel, I think you also know it. I left a cane there, and that cane is quite special. You can send someone to get it back. When you decide on a new place to live, you can use that cane to measure the atmosphere of the earth. The method is to stick the cane half a foot underground at night. In the morning, if the cane is covered with dew, the place will be You can live there. If the sticks are dry, it means that the place is devoid of atmosphere and not suitable for living, so you have to find another place.”

Chapter 416 Kangxi Tongbao

The elder bowed to the third uncle: "Thank you for your guidance, master."

The third uncle waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I hope you can live a better life."

Farewell to Goddess Village, the four of us waved goodbye to them.Although there was only a short contact, the blood relationship made Liang Yue feel the pain of parting.With tears in her eyes, she bid farewell to her parents.

Liang Yue walked all the way and looked back, until she couldn't see the people in the Goddess Village at all, and then she followed us back with a sense of loss.

Since we marked the trees along the way when we came, it should be no problem to find the way back.

But I found that Liang Yue, who has always been cheerful, became more depressed along the way, wiping tears from time to time.This was absolutely unseen before.I saw my third uncle whispering to Lao Xiao in front, I didn't know what they were talking about, so I consciously stayed behind, comforting Liang Yue from time to time.Seeing her like this made me feel bad too.

Liang Yue wiped away her tears, and smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that I'm going to be separated just now, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

I smiled and said, "It's good that it's okay. I'm really not used to you becoming so soft and weak suddenly."

Liang Yue glared: "What do you mean? You mean that I used to be aggressive and unreasonable, right?"

I couldn't laugh or cry: "When did I say that? You said it yourself..."

"That's not okay. If you don't call me or contact me for such a long time, I haven't settled the account with you yet?"

As soon as I heard it, Liang Yue found herself back.The Liang Yue at this time is the Liang Yue I know.

I quickly changed the subject, pointed to the front and said, "I said if we don't hurry up, Third Uncle and the others will disappear."

I was about to leave, but Liang Yue stopped me: "Oh, wait a minute."

I froze and turned to look at her.

Liang Yue came over, took out something from her body and handed it to me: "This is for you."

I took it suspiciously, only to realize that it turned out to be a copper coin.

"Copper coin?" I was taken aback, and hurried to observe the copper coin carefully, and found that the characters engraved on it turned out to be "Kangxi Tongbao".

I hurriedly lifted the copper coin up in the air, and under the light shining through the gaps in the leaves, I could vaguely see the gold thread surrounding the copper coin.

"This... this... is the five emperors' money? Kangxi's money from Kangxi Tongbao?"

I couldn't believe my eyes. Regarding the five emperors' coins, there are five in total in the world.Before, I had received two royal coins from Yongzheng and Jiaqing.

The third uncle said that if he could collect all the five king coins and cooperate with the five emperors ritual Buddha lamp, a big secret would be revealed.As for what the secret is, I didn't try to explore it carefully.Because in my opinion, the world is so big, and it is just a dream to collect all five five emperor coins.Because there is not even a single clue left in the world about the whereabouts of the five emperors' money.

The fact that she came to Goddess Village to find Liang Yue was considered an emergency.I never expected that this accidental trip would have such an unexpected harvest.

Liang Yue shook her head and said: "I don't know what is the use of this king's money. It was given to me by the mother-in-law Tu when I said goodbye to her. She told me that when Emperor Kangxi commended General Sabusu, he used A royal coin worn on his body was given to Sabusu. Sabusu enshrined this royal coin in the middle hall of his home. Later, the former general Li Zhun was framed, and the people in the Goddess Camp resented Emperor Kangxi for listening to the slander and sneaking into Sabsu When I was at home, I stole this king's money. It has been kept in the Goddess Village for so many years, and then it fell into the hands of Granny Tu. Granny Tu said it was very precious, so she gave it to me. I remember that you also seem to Are you looking for this kind of royal money?"

I nodded: "Yes, Liang Yue, you have helped us a lot. Thank you..."

Liang Yue smiled bitterly: "What is this? I thank you all if I want to thank you. I'm not polite to you, so don't be polite to me."

I smiled and pointed to the front: "Then let's not be polite anymore, let's go, Third Uncle and Lao Xiao are talking about something, let's follow and have a look."

Liang Yue and I ran a few steps quickly and caught up with Uncle San and the others.I found that the road they are taking now has deviated from the road we have marked.

I chased after him and asked, "Third Uncle, isn't this the way we're going?"

The third uncle turned his head and blinked at me: "Have you heard that thieves don't leave empty space? We can't come to Sishan in vain. I don't want to go back with something. Are you still called Li Dongbin?"

I looked at the old Xiao who was looking for the way ahead, and immediately understood: "I said third uncle, so you asked Xiao Bo to take us to find the dragon tree?"

The third uncle smiled: "Yeah, you kid forgot about it, but I always remember it."

I understand that in the eyes of third uncle, this is an opportunity to make a fortune, and he will not let it go easily.

However, the Jianglongmu tree is in this mountain. If it can be found, it is a matter of passing by. The third uncle's approach is understandable.

Old Xiao observed the environment in front, and said: "If I remember correctly, it should be in the front." Since the third uncle and Lao Xiao described the Jianglongmu tree as miraculous, I also wanted to see this magic tree species.You know, it's called a sacred tree.

Lao Xiao judged the direction and led the way ahead.

The few of us followed closely behind, and a dense pine forest appeared in front of us.I am not surprised that such woods are common here.

However, unlike the forests seen elsewhere, the trees here are generally short and slender, and the trunks are not very straight. On the closer trunks, many places can be seen to be cracked.It gives me the feeling that these trees are somewhat malnourished.

When Lao Xiao saw the forest, he was even more determined. He waved his hand and led us straight into the pine forest.

As a result, the further you go in, the sparser the distribution of these trees becomes.

At the end, a lush tree appeared in front of us.The tree is not very tall, but the canopy is very dense, covering the sky and the sun.The trunk is very thick. It is estimated that the four of us may not be able to hug it. The bark on the top is full of ravines. It can be seen that it has experienced the baptism of years.

It is worth noting that, within a radius of more than ten meters around this tree, no plants survived, not even a single weed.

Although it's just a tree, the aura of whoever it is is enough to shock everyone present.

The well-informed third uncle also couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a vigorous tree, it actually sucks the air around it."

Chapter 417 Thieves Don't Go Empty

Old Xiao looked up at the ancient tree, and said, "This is the dragon-subduing tree I found. But Daoist, you should know without me telling you that this kind of sacred tree has divine consciousness... "

The third uncle nodded: "I know. Eldest nephew, take the joss stick."

I quickly took out the joss sticks from my backpack, and placed them in front of the Jianglongmu tree under the orders of my third uncle.

When we were walking under the trees covered by the canopy, we vaguely felt that the breeze was blowing here, and it was extremely comfortable to blow on our bodies.

The third uncle set up a simple incense table in front of the tree with incense candles, lit three sticks of incense, bowed three times to the ancient tree, and said in his mouth: "The sacred tree is on it. Disciple Li Dongbin and four others are passing by here. Pray for the three spiritual branches of the sacred tree. I will not use this spiritual branch for other purposes. It is used to cleanse the world of filth and turbidity, to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil. If you violate it, you will go to hell..."

After finishing speaking, the third uncle asked us all to bow to the tree a few times.Then I went around the tree twice, and took three pieces at the end of the branch with a hatchet.

After we left the Jianglongwood tree, I asked my third uncle: "Didn't you say you wanted to exchange this thing for money? Why did you change your tone in front of the sacred tree?"

The third uncle shook his head: "Before I saw this sacred tree, I really thought so. But after I saw it, I was deeply impressed by the majesty of this sacred tree. Let's not sell this branch, just follow what I just said Yes, after returning home, make three wooden swords, exorcising evil spirits and avoiding evil, exorcising demons and defending the way, this can be regarded as the sacred tree has received due respect."

We found the salt water town along the way we came.

Back in the town, Lao Xiao said: "We can't just leave the Duo girl in the cave, we have to find a way to save her."

The third uncle nodded: "That's natural. The elder has already given me the medicine to save Duo Nu, so it shouldn't be difficult to save. At the same time, we still have some things to deal with, and I'm afraid we will have to delay in this salt water town for a few days."
