The years of reselling the haunted house

Meng Baolu glanced at me and said calmly: "In the 24 words, the word Fengshui has been mentioned, and of course it has something to do with the Fengshui of our village."

Judging by Meng Baolu's expression, it was a bit of a smirk, but he could understand what he meant by listening to his tone. The implication was that he didn't like us very much, and didn't approve of it.Although Huang Wenbai praised us like crazy, Meng Baolu did not trust us very much.

But what he said is also reasonable. Indeed, it has been mentioned in the 24 mantras that when the stone gate opens, Feng Shui changes.So naturally it has something to do with the Feng Shui of the village.

Pang Dahai was a little upset, he opened his mouth and asked, "The old village chief, have you deciphered the 24-character mantra?"

Meng Baolu glanced at Pang Haihai again, nodded and said, "Of course we want to understand the meaning after seeing these 24 characters. In fact, it is not difficult to understand literally, and I am sure these few words refer to our The village. Because the third sentence, Sanshou no, Sanyang sees, is related to the history of our village. Our village was originally called Sanshoutun, but it was changed to Sanyangpu later. But the other few sentences, I But I don’t know what it has to do with our village. Since you two are Fengshui masters, can you give me some advice?”

Meng Baolu looked at the two of us with a strange look from the beginning to the end, which made me a little uncomfortable.

I know this is also a question Meng Baolu gave us.The two of us came to him with the title of Feng Shui master. If we didn't show some real talents, he probably wouldn't tell us two outsiders what happened afterwards.

And now I am also very fortunate that I discovered such a clue when I was at the entrance of the village.And from these 24-character mantras, I can capture a certain amount of information. The feng shui bureau of the carp jumping over the dragon gate is closely related to the rise and fall of the entire village.

Chapter 977

Meng Baolu turned around and took out a piece of paper from the cabinet, unfolded it, and found that the 24 characters were written on it.It is estimated that when Meng Baolu was fine, he had been studying the meaning of these words.

However, I don't think it is easy to understand if you don't have a little theoretical foundation in Feng Shui.

Both Pang Dahai and Huang Wenbo looked at me, and Meng Baolu treated us like this, probably they were all suffocated in their hearts.But Huang Wenbai talked big in his head, talking about how good his relationship with Meng Baolu was, but in the end he introduced us here but received cold reception from Meng Baolu, and he felt a little bit sorry for us.

I smiled, cleared my throat, pointed to the words on the paper and asked, "Old village chief, when did our village change its name from Sanshoutun to Sanyangpu?"

Meng Baolu looked up and thought for a while, then said, "It should have been before the liberation. Now this old name is only known to us older people. Children don't know this history anymore."

I nodded and continued: "I don't know who wrote these words. The only thing that is certain is that he is definitely a master. People in the world often describe a person as powerful, and they will say that he is a former After knowing 500 years, knowing 500 years, 1000 years before and after, but 24 years. I have never met such a person, but the person who wrote the 53-character mantra should have been around 200 years of Qianlong, 100 years from now Even before liberation, it was more than 24 years. I remember that the ancient feng shui master, Lizi, only predicted a hundred years after his death. He once predicted that his tomb would be sandwiched by the palace. Facts have proved that his prediction is true. Then the person who wrote the 100-character mantra can predict that the village will be renamed 24 years later, and he is already a peerless master. Among the [-]-character mantra, the six characters about the village name are three. It's a foreshadowing."

Meng Baolu nodded calmly and said nothing.

I smiled, what I just said is indeed not convincing, anyone can understand the literal meaning.

I went on to say: "Then let's start from the beginning again. The first sentence, 200 years, the golden carp will appear. It means that from that time, after 200 years, the Feng Shui Bureau of the golden carp will appear in the village. If I didn't read it If I’m wrong, Sanyangpu Village is just a koi. It’s just that there was no such name as koi at that time, so it’s replaced by golden carp. In fact, the meaning is the same. bureau."

"Carp leaping over the dragon's gate?" Meng Baolu finally changed his expression after hearing this, and looked at me with a little surprise.

At this time, Huang Wenbai came up and said: "I said, Lao Meng, you are always suspicious of this and that. I told you that the two of them are masters, but you still don't believe me. Let me tell you, just as we enter Before the village, when we crossed the Kunzhou Bridge at the entrance of the village, Master Sai had already seen the feng shui bureau of our village. The two old willow trees at the entrance of the village, which are carp whiskers, have been cut off. You If you don’t ask Master Sai well, the Feng Shui of the whole village will change, and you won’t even have time to cry.”

"Oh? Master Sai, is this true?" The way Meng Baolu looked at me this time finally changed.

I nodded, and told Meng Baolu again what I saw about the feng shui pattern of the carp jumping over the dragon gate.

Meng Baolu nodded frequently after hearing this: "In other words, these 24-character mantras foreshadowed the current situation as early as 200 years ago. Master Sai, I'm sorry, I, Meng Baolu, can't see Mount Tai, and underestimated you. I can’t compensate you here.”

Meng Baolu's attitude was extremely sincere, and I waved my hand hastily: "Old village chief, we don't pay much attention to it. This time, I came across this incident by chance. If possible, I also want to settle the matter satisfactorily."

Meng Baolu cupped his hands in thanks, pointed to the words on the paper, and asked, "Then the other words..."

I went on to say: "The stone gate collapsed, Feng Shui changed. The truth is revealed, and the world is in chaos. I am still not sure whether this stone gate is a place name, or there is really a stone gate in this village. If it is the latter, what does this mean? Obviously, once the stone gate is opened, the whole Fengshui will change. Now the Fengshui bureau of Liyuelongmen is dying. If the stone gate is opened again, the Fengshui bureau will die. The good Fengshui accumulated for 200 years will change instantly. Cheng evil feng shui. That Kunzhou bridge will become a gate of ghosts, and the evil spirits that were originally rejected will rush into Sanyangpu along the gate of ghosts. At that time, this place will become a ghost gate. ...become hell. And if the sky in Sanyangpu Village changes, it will quickly spread to the outside of the village, thus responding to the last sentence, the mantra is revealed, and the world is in chaos. These 24-character mantras were vague before, but now they are It has become clear that this is really a very sensitive moment."

Hearing my words, Meng Baolu's face became extremely ugly.

I cut back and said, "Of course, it might not be as bad as I said. I'm only talking about the worst."

Meng Baolu waved his hand: "No, no, the situation must be very bad now. Otherwise, how could the blurred words suddenly become clear? This is theoretically impossible."

Pang Dahai asked: "Old village chief, is there such a possibility? The Manchu text on the blueprint is already blurred, but someone secretly re-drawn it with pen and ink, playing tricks on it?"

Meng Baolu nodded: "It's not that we didn't think about it, but we thought so at the first time. But after verification, it is not the case. First of all, the place where the blueprints are stored is very safe, and it is locked in the cabinet of the ancestral hall. I When the cabinet was opened, the locks on it were still intact. Well, even if someone were able to open the cabinet and take out the blueprint, the words on it would not be new. Because the words on it were not It’s not new ink. It’s easy to tell whether it’s new or old. So, the words were really written that year, and after being blurred, they suddenly became clear again.”

I saw how anxious Meng Baolu was, obviously he was in the midst of it, and as an old village head, he was naturally anxious about the affairs of the village.

Huang Wenbai told us that this Meng Baolu was the old village chief.I didn't ask him who the current village head is. No matter who it is, in such a relatively remote and independent village, the authority of the old village head is beyond doubt.Otherwise, he would not have been allowed to preside over the activities of the ancestral hall a while ago, and he would not have discovered the words on the drawing.

Chapter 978 The Stone Gate on the Blueprint

I don't know what to do next?Because we are outsiders after all, although the matter seems to be urgent, it is not good for us to directly intervene in the internal affairs of other people's villages.Especially this Meng Baolu, although his attitude towards us has changed, he still doesn't fully trust us.

Seeing that we were silent, Meng Baolu sighed and said, "Actually, I still believe in Fengshui. Because my family has practiced butchers for generations, and my ancestors were executioners, and I know a little about yin and yang. Two. So..."

After Meng Baolu said these words, I finally understood why he treated us in that way after we arrived.

He said that his ancestors were executioners. I know that not everyone can do the job of executioners in ancient times, and there are many ways to do it.Since Meng Baolu's ancestor did this, it's not surprising that he knew some tricks.

Meng Baolu went on to say: "So, I have the courage to ask the two masters to help our village survive this calamity. After the matter is completed, we... will never treat you badly. Although Sanyangpu Village is not rich, it has been isolated from the world for so many years. There is no struggle, and there are some savings..."

I quickly waved my hands: "We are both cultivators, and we don't value the word money. Since we have already been involved in it, there is no reason to ignore it. It's just that I'm afraid that my knowledge is limited for the great geomantic omen of Sanyangpu. , I can’t manage it even if I want to. I’m afraid it will be a dilemma, and it will delay the old village chief’s affairs.”

Meng Baolu hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Don't be humble, Lao Meng, I know it well, you can see the situation of the carp jumping over the dragon's gate, you are absolutely extraordinary. I really didn't trust you before because you were too young. But Now that I believe it, please don't refuse, both of you."

I smiled, it was the first time I was so sought after by others.Although there is no expression on the face, but the heart is very good.In the past, it was the third uncle who took on the sought-after role. No wonder he enjoys this kind of moment, being praised and sought after by others is so cool.

At this time, Pang Haihai pulled me and motioned me to step aside. He said in a low voice, "Boss, I feel that this matter in Sanyangpu is very serious. Should we tell Shishu and the others? I'm afraid that if we Intervene, and when the situation develops, it will be difficult to get out."

Pang Haihai's worry was not unreasonable.I haven't had this kind of worry, but it's not okay to retreat at this time.We came here with a mission, and the third uncle asked us to inquire about the news about the five emperors' money. Now that we have some signs, how could we give up halfway.And we called third uncle as soon as we came out, which is a bit too unconfident.

I shook my head and asked the fat man, "Are you afraid?"

When Pang Haihai heard this, he curled his lips and said, "I'm afraid of being a dick? Boss, you underestimate me."

I whispered: "Then we've decided. Whether the water in Sanyangpu is deep or shallow, let's go for a while first. When we really can't get there, we will make other plans."

The two of us reached a consensus, and returned to Meng Baolu calmly, pointing to the 24-character mantra and said: "Now, we don't know the source of the word Shimen, and we don't know what it points to." .”

Meng Baolu waved his hand: "Wait for me."

As he spoke, Meng Baolu walked into the inner room, and heard the sound of things being turned over.

After a while, Meng Baolu came out with something and said: "When I saw the word "Shimen", I sent many people to search carefully up and down in our village. Back and forth After searching for more than a week, even the cracks in the stone were turned over, but there was no shadow of the stone gate. Finally, I found this on it, take a look..."

As he spoke, Meng Baolu unfolded the things in his hands and spread them on the table.

It was a piece of paper that had turned yellow, and some graphics and text could be vaguely seen on it.There are also many special symbols, which look very similar to our current construction drawings, but they are certainly not as complicated as our modern ones.

"Old village chief, is this... that blueprint?"

Meng Baolu nodded, pointed to a place above, and said, "Yes. You see, here is the 24-character mantra in Manchu...and here...the three characters of completed work."

Indeed, as Meng Baolu said, the handwriting and graphics in other places on the drawings are somewhat blurred, but the handwriting in the 24-character mantra is clearly visible, as if it was newly written, and there is even a feeling that the pen and ink are not dry .But to the touch, the handwriting is integrated with the whole drawing.

"Master Sai, look here." Meng Baolu pointed me to another place on the blueprint.

I observed it carefully, and there was a figure, which looked like a door, a very heavy door.

Meng Baolu said: "Look, the door here is obviously thicker than the other ones. Does it look like a stone door?"

"This...maybe..." I didn't say yes or no, judging only based on the drawings, this conclusion is very difficult to draw.

At this time, Pang Dahai asked: "Old village chief, even if this is a stone gate, where is the building on the blueprint?"

Meng Baolu smiled wryly and said, "This is the only blueprint that doesn't correspond to the actual building. Where is the building? We have never found it. This is also a mystery we have been waiting to solve for a long time?"

We were talking here when suddenly there was a loud bang from the direction of the door.

There was a bang, as if something had hit the door.

We were all taken aback and subconsciously looked in the direction of the gate.

Meng Baolu waved his hand: "It's okay. It's the villagers in our village. Since I found out that they have become like that, this kind of thing happened from time to time. But they just knocked on the door and didn't dare to rush in. Before I figured out the truth of the matter , I don’t dare to leave here rashly.”

I asked, "Old village chief, when did they become so abnormal?"

Meng Baolu said: "That should have started from that day...but this matter..."

Huang Wenbai waved his hand and said, "What day is that day? Why are you so hesitant, Lao Meng?"

Meng Baolu said helplessly: "Isn't it the day I told you that the accident happened in the village? I just thought, where should I start talking about this matter with the two masters? In addition, this matter has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Whether or not to be side by side."

I nodded and said, "The strange things that happen in the village should not happen for no reason. There must be a root cause. You might as well tell me what happened."

Chapter 979 There Are Buildings Underground

Meng Baolu nodded: "Okay. The matter has to start ten days ago... At that time, I have been studying this blueprint, trying to find out where the stone gate is located. But I have been looking for so long, but I can't match it. The specific location. Until one day..."

When Meng Baolu said this, the outside door was knocked again.

It also stopped with a bang.

This time I couldn't help it, I ran out of the room, quickly came to the door, and looked outside through the crack of the door.

I only saw the back of a villager walking away from the house.His walking posture is still normal, but the speed is a little slower than normal walking.

I turned around and asked Meng Baolu who also came out, "What do these villagers mean by knocking on your door?"

Meng Baolu shook his head: "I don't know either. This situation has been going on for several days. But I feel that they have no ill intentions towards me, otherwise they would not be able to knock on the door and leave. Do you want to tell me something? Twice I chased them out and wanted to ask them what they were going to do, but they quickly ran away when they saw me, and never gave me a chance to meet them."

I touched the door and suddenly thought of something, so I said, "Old village chief, are you still killing cows?"

Meng Baolu was also a little surprised by my sudden question, but he immediately shook his head and replied: "It has been many years since I have not killed cattle. I am old, and I also care about these things related to living beings. In the past, killing cattle was a In order to make a living, I have been doing good deeds now, hoping to cover up the blood on my body."

"Then when you slaughtered cattle, where did you kill them?"

Meng Baolu pointed to the yard and said, "We don't pay much attention to it in the countryside, it's just the hands in this yard."

I nodded: "That's no wonder. Your door must have been stained with the blood of a slaughtered cow. This kind of blood smell can attract some yin things to come. But they are afraid of the hostility on your body, so when they come, they will Get out of the way."

Meng Baolu said: "We who butcher pigs and cattle will have hostility, and I know this. So, these folks in our village really have something wrong? Otherwise, why would they come here smelling the smell of blood? my home?"

"There must be a problem. I also think they are a bit abnormal. But I am also guessing, and there is another possibility that cannot be ruled out. It is that there is still a trace of clarity in their minds. They came to your door to ask for help. But I'm also afraid of your hostility, and I dare not face you face to face. No matter which of the two possibilities I mentioned is true, we have to find the root cause. You can continue to talk about the blueprint..." I asked.

"Okay..." Meng Baolu scratched his scalp, thought for a while, and said, "I'm getting old and my brain is not working well. Where did I just say that?"

Pang Dahai reminded: "You said, I didn't understand the blueprint until one day..."

"Oh yes. Until one day... I was tired of reading in the room, so I put the drawings on the table. At this time, a five or six-year-old child from the village came to my house... Oh, the folk customs of our village are simple, The doors of the rooms are almost always open, and it is common to walk around. Especially children, they can earn some delicious food when they come to anyone’s house, and children often come to our house.”

Meng Baolu was afraid that we would not understand, so he explained to us why children came to his home.

In fact, I can understand what he said, and it is the same in my hometown.When a child comes, the owner will bring out some delicious food for the child. This is a manifestation of the close relationship between neighbors and neighbors, and it is also a manifestation of folk customs.

I nodded, expressing my understanding.

Meng Baolu went on to say: "The child saw the blueprint. The child was very curious, so he picked up the blueprint and looked at it. I was afraid that he would damage the blueprint, so I went up and wanted to get it back. I saw that But the drawing couldn’t help laughing. Because the child took the drawing upside down and turned it upside down, but he still read it with gusto. But I smiled, but I came to my senses, because the child’s action reminded me..."

"Looking at the drawings backwards, what did you think of?" I asked casually.

Meng Baolu smiled slightly: "It's actually very simple. We adults always think that we are smarter than children. In fact, when we look at the problem, it is easy to see the problem as dead. We, of course, include those ancestors in our village. Since the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, I have been looking for the building on the ground with the blueprint, but there has been no result. But the child took the blueprint upside down, but it reminded me that we have been looking for the ground, why didn’t we think that the building might be built? What about underground?"

"Underground?" My eyes lit up when I heard that.Indeed, if the building is underground, it may not be possible to find it on the ground for 100 years.In fact, it is not impossible.

Meng Baolu went on to say: "After I had this idea, I put it into action immediately. I sent a few people to find some places in the village with steel drills to probe down to see if they could find anything. After such a Once we searched, we found the problem..."

Speaking of this, Meng Baolu stretched his neck, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and paused for a while.

We also know that the key node of the matter is here.

Meng Baolu took another deep breath, and continued: "A villager reported to me that a stone slab was found in the ground behind the village's ancestral hall. The stone slab was buried by a thick layer of soil. The upper layer of soil is getting thinner and thinner. This time I asked them to use steel drills to dig into the ground. They tried to use steel drills to penetrate down there, and they found the stone slab. They used tools to dig out the remaining soil layer. open, and then hit the stone slab with an iron rod. It turned out that through the stone slab, there was an empty sound coming from below. This sound was different from the sound of stone knocking in other places, so they reported to me that I did not If you dare to be negligent, hurry up and take people over there..."

Meng Baolu slowly talked about what happened at that time, and we stopped interrupting him and listened to him quietly.

In the end, we learned that the situation at that time was as follows:

On that day, Meng Baolu led people to rush to the village ancestral hall, and there were about a dozen people gathered around the stone slab.

The ancestral hall in the village is rarely visited except for the sacrificial activities during festivals.And on the ground where the stone slab was located, there was a stone statue standing there.The stone statue is an ancient military general, wearing armor and holding a waist knife, very majestic.

Chapter 980

But no one knows who the stone statue is, and no one takes care of it.The stone statue was covered with green moss, and there was a lot of muddy water on it, and the birds usually didn't fall too much.

As a result, on a rainy night not long ago, there was a huge thunder from the sky, and someone discovered early the next morning that the stone statue had collapsed inexplicably, and broken stones fell to the ground.It looked as if it had been shattered by lightning at night.

The stone statue was broken, and a lot of the soil beneath it was lost.

Until the village sent people to check, dug up the soil layer, and found the bare stone slab.

At that time, Meng Baolu led people around this stone slab to watch.Meng Baolu tapped the stone slab with a steel drill, and sure enough, the sound coming from below was empty.

Meng Baolu was skeptical, thinking that he had lived in this village for decades, but he didn't even know that there was a stone slab buried under it, let alone that the bottom of the stone slab was actually empty?

At that time, Meng Baolu didn't think too much about it, so he waved his hand and sent two young men from the village to go up and move the stone slabs away.

Who knew that the two young men from the village were very capable, and they also wanted to show off in front of the villagers, so they each rolled up their sleeves and went forward to move the stone slab.

That stone slab seemed very heavy, but the strength of those two young men was well-known in the whole village.With the strength of their two arms, even if they can't move the stone slab, they can at least lift the stone slab by a crack.

But the two young men tried their best to shake the stone slab even with the blue veins on their arms exposed.It was as if the stone slab was welded to the ground.

Meng Baolu was very strange, and he didn't believe in evil, so he waved his hand and shouted: "Two more."
