The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 1653

Master Jiu continued: "Two days have passed since this incident, and nothing happened. These children also thought it was all right, and they still went out to play together on the third day. As a result, on the third night, these children all Did not go home. The adults in the family were anxious, so they began to search around the village. After searching, in the woods east of the village, they found three children hanging from a tree, and they...they were also skinned ...the death is terrible..."

I nodded: "This is Jiang Pizi's revenge. Aren't there five children? How come three were killed? What about the other two?"

"There are two other children who have been scared to death. They are squatting in the woods, in a trance. By the way, these two children are Dalong and Erlong."

"Is it them? Why did they survive?"

"This is a rule that has been handed down in this area. Jiang Pizi came to revenge and left two people on purpose. He wanted us to send those two people to the river to sacrifice to the Dragon King of Jiang. A lesson. Otherwise, there will be no end to grievances. Everyone here knows this rule, so we didn’t feel lucky when we saw the surviving Dalong and Erlong. On the contrary, it made the people in the village panic. But at that time, none of us I don't know what these children did, because three of the people involved died and two were stupid. There was no way to prove it. Later, the village head at the time, that is, Grandpa Wan, found me, and I went to find some herbs. It can be regarded as curing the stupid state of these two children. But they still have some sequelae, so that now sometimes their brains are not very bright, and they are more reckless in doing things."

After listening to Master Jiu's narration, I recalled that it is true that the two young men, Dalong and Erlong, sometimes see people with straight eyes, and Dalong is very reckless in doing things, almost without thinking.Erlong's situation is better, but he feels a little timid in speaking and doing things, as if he is afraid of saying the wrong thing.

These states are all related to the disaster more than ten years ago.

Master Jiu continued: "When the condition of these two children improved, it was already the second day after the accident. I came to ask them what they did. That's why they put them in two Jiang skins and sold the furs , told us about the meat that was eaten. They also buried the leftover bones in the grove where they died. When I asked someone to dig, I found that the bones had been dug out. See Laijiang Pizi had discovered the place where the bones were buried long ago, and this revenge is also purposeful. Dalong and Erlong recalled that they were playing outside the woods, and there were other villagers not far outside. They heard There was a voice calling their names, and without much thought, they followed the voice and walked into the woods. After entering the woods, they found that there was no one inside, and there were still three nooses hanging from the tree. The other three The child, as if possessed by an evil spirit, ran straight towards the noose, and stuck his head into the noose. Then the noose was tightened, and the three children were hung up, dancing and dancing, their faces turned blue. , the eyeballs were protruding, and the tongue was sticking out so long. The big dragon and the second dragon were so frightened that they sat on the ground at that time, and they were unconscious of what happened after that..."

I nodded: "That is to say, after they lost consciousness, those Jiang Pizi skinned the other three people. But they are just animals, how can they do such a complicated job?"

Master Jiu shook his head: "They didn't do it themselves, but borrowed human hands. Jiang Pizi has a characteristic, that is, he is good at bewitching."

"Bewitched?"

"Yes. To put it bluntly, it means that they are good at confusing people. A well-educated Jiang Pizi can also imitate people's speech, and it is very lifelike. At that time, they were imitating people's speech and leading those children to the woods. Later, the three The child was fascinated, so he walked into the noose and hanged himself. Later, Jiang Pizi was fascinated by a butcher in the village. It was the butcher who did it and skinned the three children. Later, we found blood in the butcher's house And those three skins, he was still asleep at the time, and he didn't know what he had done when he woke up."

"This trick is too sinister. So they can do anything by confusing people." I was very scared when I heard this. This kind of revenge method is simply terrible and extremely cruel.Does this mean that as long as they are willing, they can confuse more people, take evil paths, or kill people.

Master Jiu waved his hand: "There is a reason for everything, and there must be an effect if there is a cause. Everything has a law to follow. Only Jiangpizi with certain morals can confuse people. Such Jiangpizi are all cultivated, and it is not easy to practice. They do so too. It is detrimental to practice. So they will not do it easily. It is all caused by those children who killed their offspring first. So when it comes, don’t easily disrupt the balance of nature. All things have spirits, all things All sects have laws, and no one is allowed to violate the laws. Believe in this truth, your third uncle should have told you."

I nodded, the relevant truth, the third uncle did instill it in me, and more than once.

Master Jiu continued: "So, the incident that caused the situation, in the final analysis, is because we broke the precepts and offended first."

"But they have already injured three people in the village, and they still used such cruel methods, and three children. Isn't that enough?"

Master Jiu shook his head: "It's definitely not enough. They want to kill one to warn others, and they must take the big dragon and the second dragon to the river to pay homage. And when we figured out what happened, the time limit they asked for had already passed Even if the time limit was not reached, we couldn’t just take the two children to the river. As a result, in the early morning of the fourth day, I was afraid of accidents, so I led a few people to patrol the village. As a result, at night, A large number of jiangpizi came ashore one after another from the river and surrounded our village. Judging by the number of those jiangpizi, there are tens of thousands of them. They come along the river, some upstream, some downstream, and then in the village Jiang An landed on the shore. That night, Jiang Pizi’s screams were everywhere, miserable and scary. Many Jiang Pizi rushed into the village. With the lessons learned, the people in the village did not dare to hurt They. So they bit a lot of people. That night, everyone in the village knew that if the two living people, Dalong and Erlong, were not sacrificed to the river, this matter would definitely not end."

I was really terrified of what happened at the time.Unexpectedly, the little Jiang Pizi would cause such a big storm.

Chapter 1654 Take you out of the river

Master Jiu continued: "I was high-spirited at the time, and I knew some Jiangshang's profound arts. I knew that unless Jiang Pizi's requirements were met, it would be difficult for this matter to go smoothly. Otherwise, more people will be killed in the village. We were the first to settle the accounts at Sheng Yu. But we couldn’t give up those two children anyway. Later, the fathers of these two children found me and said that they could go to sacrifice Jiang for the two children. As long as these Jiang Pizi can recede, it’s fine if they don’t harm the village. Then I thought of a way, discussed it with Grandpa Wan, and decided to use a trick to fool the whole world.”

"Cross the sea? So, are you looking for two substitutes?" I questioned.

Lord Jiu nodded: "That's right. I want to find two wooden men, take the blood from the big dragon and the second dragon, and pour it on the wooden men. Then I will sail out of the river. I am familiar with the water environment. I will drive the boat to the most dangerous place." Throw the wooden dummy down at the thirteen ghost eyes. The wooden dummy will be sucked in by the ghost eyes in an instant, and even Jiang Pizi will not dare to approach that place. If this goes well, we should be able to hide it from Jiang Pizi. We discussed it After a while, it was decided that Dalong Erlong's father and I would go out to the river with Grandpa Wan to do this matter. But by coincidence, the weather changed suddenly that night, not only did it rain, but also the ghostly water flowed backwards. The wooden man I threw down was not sucked in, but was pushed out. It was soon discovered by Jiang Pizi, and a large number of Jiang Pizi surrounded our boat. The situation was also very critical at that time. All three had to die on the river. Later, at a critical moment, no one expected that Dalong Erlong's father suddenly pulled out a knife and yelled at the river. Godfather’s fault, his own child made a mistake, he will be responsible. On the same day, he apologized with death, and asked to let his son and the whole village be spared. After he shouted, he wiped his neck with a knife, and the blood splashed in the river.”

I listened nervously and let out a long breath.No wonder just now under the old locust tree, only Dalong Erlong and their mother were seen, but not their father.It turned out that he had already died on the river.

"Later, although Dalong and Erlong didn't go to worship Jiang, their father replaced them. I found Sheng Yu to mediate this matter. This matter was finally considered to be over. After this incident, I blamed myself very much. From then on, I didn’t go out of the river any more. I kept cultivating my health in the village. I didn’t expect that it might be fate, and more than ten years later, Dalong and Erlong would make the same mistake again.”

While speaking, Master Jiu shook his head and sighed.

Speaking of this, I couldn't help asking: "Jiu Ye, you have mentioned the holy scorpion many times, who is this holy scorpion, and how can it have such a great ability to mediate such things?"

Master Jiu waved his hand: "I can't say it, I can just feel it. If you are destined, you will naturally meet Sheng Yu."

I know that Jiu Ye and Third Uncle left last night to meet Sheng Yu. As for whether this Sheng Yu is a man or a god, what kind of person he is, and which ashram he is practicing in, Jiu Ye will not reveal anything more.

When Master Jiu was telling me about what happened back then, Uncle San was eating and drinking all the time.When Master Jiu finished speaking, he also finished eating, hiccupped, and said to Master Jiu: "What are you going to do next? Are you really going to go out of the river?"

Master Jiu nodded: "I promised Sheng Yu, I have to do it. This matter is also related to the survival of the village, so I have to go this way. It seems that we may have to delay the matter of finding Murong Yu. Once released. If I can come back alive, we will go find him again. If I..."

The third uncle waved his hand: "Master Jiu, don't tell me this. There are not many people in my life who have convinced me, Li Dongbin, and you are one of them. Since you want to go out of the river, on this Jingjiang River, I believe that without you What Yan Wanggou can't do."

Master Jiu shook his head: "One moment, another moment, more than ten years, and I'm old too. I don't know what the Jingjiang River will look like. So..."

Saying that, Master Jiu glanced at me.

This look was inexplicable, because he was talking to third uncle just now, but suddenly looked at me.

But the third uncle soon understood, he said with a smile: "Master Jiu, who has always been a loner, has also changed his rules? As long as you can see it, don't hold you back."

Master Jiu also smiled and said, "You won't miss it. I won't miss it either. As long as you're willing."

"It's his good fortune. Not everyone can get out of the river with Hades."

The third uncle and Jiuye were talking to each other, and I was stupefied. I didn't know what they were talking about.But what is certain is that what they said must have something to do with me.

I had to interrupt their conversation and asked, "What the hell are you talking about? Isn't it good to just say something straight? Do you have to play charades?"

Third Uncle nodded at me, pointed at Master Jiu and said, "Nephew, let's be honest, Master Jiu wants to take you out of the river."

"Out of the river?" Although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little surprised when I heard this. It happened so suddenly that I haven't fully reacted yet.

Master Jiu also looked at me and asked, "That's right. Boy, are you willing? Your third uncle is right. I, He Sijiu, went out of the river to search for corpses. I have never brought a helper. You are the first."

"Master Jiu, I think you should explain the ins and outs to me clearly. Don't be in such a hurry and let me express your opinion? I don't even know what's going on."

Jiu Ye said: "The matter is very simple. I promised Sheng Yu one thing, which is a promise, as a condition to mediate the dispute between the village and Jiang Pizi. Now I have to fulfill my promise. This matter It's related to going out of the river. I haven't been out of the river for more than ten years. I'm afraid of any accidents, so I have to bring an assistant. Originally, I wanted to take your third uncle, but now I changed my mind and decided to take you. Do you have Do you have the guts?"

"But why, Master Jiu, I don't have any experience in going out of the river, and I'm not very good at swimming." I said frankly.

Master Jiu shook his head: "It's best if you don't have experience, because I have enough experience. I don't even need you to go swimming, because with me, I won't let you fall into the water."

Jiu Ye's words were very simple, but they sounded very domineering.

"But since he is so awesome, why does he have to get me away? Why does he need help?"

Of course, this is what I thought in my heart, and I didn't dare to say it.

"Young man, hurry up, don't be a mother-in-law, I want to take you out of the river, do you dare to come with me?" Master Jiu was a little impatient, it seemed that the old man was also impatient.

"Just go, what's the big deal."

Master Jiu's provocative method is still somewhat useful, since he likes me, it would be really unmanly for me to back down.

Chapter 1655

More importantly, I want to help Master Jiu settle the matter here as soon as possible, so that he can help us find that Murong Sturgeon.At present, only he can do us this favor.

Of course, there is also the reason why I am very curious. I have been instilled by my third uncle in the theory of three fights and one school.Amoy river ghost fights the king's hook, three fights and one dragon raises its head.

These mysterious occupations on the Yangtze River not only make people curious about their names, but also their unique methods, which were also talked about by the third uncle.I really want to see with my own eyes how miraculous their methods are.

Thinking about it afterwards, my thoughts at the time were still too simple.The decision to agree to go out of the river with Master Jiu was also a little impulsive.

The moment I actually got on Jiuye's boat, I actually started to regret it.

This is not going out on a boat to swim in the river, not to enjoy the vast beauty of the Yangtze River, but to risk one's life, a gamble of one's life.

Master Jiu was very satisfied with my answer, he patted me on the shoulder, and praised: "Okay, Master Jiu did not misunderstand you. Then there is no need to delay, I am going to prepare, you also have a rest, and we will set off at night. "

As he said that, Master Jiu found some things in the house, which looked like herbs or something.He took those things and hurried out of the house, probably to deliver medicine to Dalong Erlong's mother.

I looked at Master Jiu's back and said, "This Master Jiu is not the village chief either, why does he take care of everything?"

The third uncle said: "Although he is not the village chief, he manages more than the village chief. It is no exaggeration to say that he has been the patron saint of the village over the years. There are many strange things on the riverside, and some strange things often happen because With Jiuye, the village is much more stable. Jiang Pizi's second offense may not be just because Dalong Erlong and the others killed two Jiangpizi. This may be just a fuse. According to time According to the turntable analysis, the last Jiangpizi disaster happened exactly 18 years ago. 18 years is not short, so something should have happened."

I smiled wryly, "Third Uncle, what do you mean, something should happen in this village every few years?"

The third uncle nodded: "This place is different from other places. Over the years, especially in the past few years, the control has not been strict. The villagers have hunted and killed a large number of fish and aquatic creatures. Everything has a spirit, and we should pay a little price for it." Yes. It is also thanks to Master Jiu that the price can be minimized. But this Jiang, you have to make this trip."

Now Master Jiu has left, and Uncle and I are the only ones left at home.

We went back to the room where we slept and lay down on our beds to rest.Third Uncle urged me to take a good rest, after all I have to go out of the river with Lord Jiu at night.

But although I didn't sleep all night, I was still excited, so I asked my third uncle to tell me more about Master Jiu.

I'm going to go out with him soon, and it's good to know more about him.

The third uncle may have realized this too, so he told me about Jiu Ye's past.

"Jiuye's Yanwanggou is a family heirloom. And the blood on Jiuye's body seems to be shed for Yanwanggou. He has a very high understanding of this. It is said that every few generations of Yanwanggou, there will be an outstanding person. Three fights and one sect, although each is a sect, but among these old professions, in the past, a person with high morals and high prestige should be elected, which is equivalent to the head of these sects. Because the three fights and one sect share the Yangtze River Water, it is inevitable that there will be intersections, disputes and contradictions are indispensable. Once conflicts arise, the head of the head must coordinate. This position is very important, so the ninth master of Yan Wanggou was born, and he is considered the head of the head strong candidate."

The more I listened, the more interested I became. I didn't expect these things in reality to sound like those written in martial arts novels.

The third uncle went on to say: "He Sijiu, the king of hell, was able to sail a boat out of the river to retrieve corpses very early because of his high comprehension and hard work. However, He Sijiu's personality was different when he was young. At that time, he was young and energetic, and when he was only 13 years old, he set up the flag."

"Flag? What kind of flag?" I asked.

"The flag of the corpse hunter."

The third uncle said: "He Sijiu is not the only one who picks up corpses in the world, but he is definitely the only one who dares to set up a flag at the age of 13. Putting up a flag means that he is going to take over the job of picking up corpses, and he is also the only one who dares to set up a flag at the age of 40. Prove to the outside world that you can bear all the consequences independently. Once the flag is set up, no matter how hard to find the dead body, once you catch it, you must complete it. If you can’t catch it, you must drop the raised flag with your own hands. Go, in this way, the name of Yan Wanggou will be completely lost, and if it is not done, it will withdraw from the Yangtze River. Among the successors of Yan Wanggou in the past, there are only a handful of people who dare to set up flags, and even those who set up flags are mostly in the After the age of 93. Therefore, He Si set up the flag at the age of [-], which caused a sensation in the entire Taoist sect."

I was also very moved, I didn't expect this Jiu Ye to become famous as a teenager.That sounds like an amazing character.

"Then did the flag stand up?" I asked.

The third uncle nodded: "Of course. Everyone thought He Sijiu was crazy at the time. Including He Sijiu's father, who was also a well-known descendant of the King of Yama at that time. Although he knew that his son was very talented, he never thought that he would dare He went to set up the flag at the age of 13. When the flag was up, it was too late for him to stop it. Because once the flag is up, it is not He Sijiu's business to lower it, it is related to the name of the whole Yan Wanggou Can they stand? For this reason, their father and son had a quarrel, and the two broke up unhappy, and He Sijiu moved away alone holding a banner."

"Master Jiu must be really capable, otherwise he would not have done this rashly. But he is too young at that age, his body is not yet fully developed at the age of 13."

"That's right. After the flag was set up, many people deliberately came to his door to give him problems. Many difficult-to-find corpses were handed over to him. As a result, He Sijiu would not refuse anyone who came, and those difficult-to-find corpses were all He picked them up. So more and more people came to the door. After all, the river is fast-moving. For several years, decades or even longer, many people who fell into the water will still sink to the bottom of the water. It took at most three days to fish up those corpses. From then on, Jiuye became famous. But when Jiuye was most famous, he suddenly took the flag away. Of course, this is the collection of the flag, not the fall of the flag. Because Master Jiu didn't mess things up, nor did he damage Yan Wanggou's name."

"And why?" I am becoming more and more interested in the legendary figure Jiu Ye.

It turned out that I was very interested in that Murong Sturgeon, but this He Sijiu was by my side, and hearing his legend was even more attractive.

Chapter 1656 There is a small temple by the river

Unexpectedly, the third uncle shook his head when he said this: "No one knows why Jiuye suddenly accepted the flag at that time, and he picked up all the corpses that were so difficult, and made his name, and then became a three-douyimen The chief head of the school is just around the corner. I didn't expect him to accept it when he saw it. Up to now, I asked him about the past, and he is still silent. Eldest nephew, Lord Jiu is very optimistic about you. If you have a chance, you can see that he is in a good mood When you do, you can ask him."

"He likes me?" I was taken aback, and quickly waved my hands: "Farewell, let me declare first, I don't want to learn how to pick up corpses, and besides, I'm in my 20s, and it's too late to learn this again."

"No one asked you to learn how to fish for corpses from him. If you agree, I can't agree. I still count on you to inherit my mantle. He is optimistic about you and wants to show you the world. I have told you so much, yes I want you to know that Master Jiu dare not talk about other skills, but when it comes to Jiang Shang's skills, it is definitely this."

With that said, the third uncle gave a thumbs up.

"You follow Master Jiu out of the river, and you will definitely come back safely." Third Uncle gave me a reassurance at last.

Well, since Master Jiu is so awesome, I'll go out and see.I was not in vain to see the King of Hades hook out of the river.

"Okay, you go to rest, you'd better have a good sleep. I'll go out with Master Jiu later in the evening." Uncle San waved his hand, in fact, he wanted to sleep by himself.

I suddenly thought of a question, we chatted for a long time, all I know is that Master Jiu will go out to retrieve the corpse at night, so whose corpse is it?He agreed to Sheng Yu's condition. Is this corpse related to Sheng Yu?

I hurriedly pulled my third uncle to ask this question.

The third uncle shook his head again: "I don't know the details. I was chatting with Jiu Ye in the room yesterday. He suddenly said, let me do him a favor. We went out through the window and climbed over the wall to the outside. We hid first In a corner. After a while, I saw a few Jiang Pizi flipped in from the wall."

"Ah, I went to the door of your room yesterday and heard someone talking inside. I thought it was you, but when I opened the door, I found no one in the room. Could it be..."

The third uncle nodded: "Nine times out of ten, it's Jiang Pizi's voice. This kind of creature is very powerful and can imitate human voices. When you went in, I guess they were hiding under the bed. You have a lot of body protection They don’t dare to move you easily. This is why I dare to leave you at home alone. Later I left his house with Master Jiu, and I don’t know where he is going to take me. In the end, I walked As we were walking, I found two Jiang Pizi were following us all the time. I reminded Master Jiu. Master Jiu said he knew and told me not to look back."

I smiled bitterly and said, "The whole village is full of Jiang Pizi, you must be targeted when you come out."

"That's right. I don't know how Jiu Ye asked me to help him, so I can only continue to follow him. Finally, when I reached the riverside, I saw a small building among the rocks. Dilapidated, like a temple but not a temple. Master Jiu told me to guard the gate of the temple and not let anything in. He entered the building by himself. I just guarded the gate, and the two Jiang Pizi watched from afar. I didn't dare to move forward. I just kept guarding there with a mahogany sword, and Jiuye didn't come out until dawn. I was a little anxious, but still didn't dare to leave. After more than half an hour, Jiuye finally looked haggard. walked out."

I nodded: "That temple is the holy man, right? Master Jiu is negotiating with him?"

The third uncle said: "I don't know either. Master Jiu didn't let me in, saying it was for my own good. He just told me that I had finished talking with Sheng Yu, and now I had to go back to the village immediately, otherwise accidents would happen. The two of us ran back non-stop, I just happened to see you in the crowd. If it wasn’t for what you did, something might have happened. Jiu Ye said that he didn’t expect to be delayed for such a long time. As for how he made the promise with Sheng Yu, I’ll let you know the details. I don’t know. You have to ask him about these things yourself. He also found that you are very capable of handling things when we are not around. That’s why he wants to take you out of the river to find the corpse.”

"I also drove ducks to the shelves. You are not here, I just think that Jiang Pizi can't be killed, and I feel that my ability can save the woman's state, so I took the risk. Didn't I almost have an accident in the end? If you don't come, I will bite Jiang Pizi."

The third uncle said: "The soul of Jiang Pizi who occupied the woman's body is also an old soul. It is not easy for you to force it out. After it came out, it became angry and felt ashamed, so it wanted to ask You took revenge."

The third uncle originally said words of encouragement to me, but I scratched my head when I heard it. The Jiangpizi who landed on the shore is so powerful. Wouldn't it be even more powerful if he got into the water?After all, they are called Jiang Pizi, and they are creatures in the river. They should be more at ease when they return to the water.

But I didn't say any more, it's already decided, there's no way to change it.It's not in my character to go back and forth and push back.

After chatting with Uncle Third, I learned a lot about Master Jiu.But I'm starting to get a little worried about what to do at night.

Master Jiu's actions were relatively mysterious. I thought Uncle Third knew everything about it, including what conditions Master Jiu had agreed to for that saint.As a result, I only found out now that even the third uncle had never seen Sheng Yu, and he didn't know exactly what Jiuye was going to do.

So now my state is that the uneasy mood is getting heavier and heavier, and the restless psychology is dominant.

But because I didn't sleep last night, I fell asleep shortly after I lay down.

This sleep was very peaceful, and the environment was very quiet. When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.Third Uncle was still sound asleep, so I went out to look around and found that Jiu Ye hadn't come back yet.

I had nothing to do, so I practiced the three tricks of the Jedi again in Master Jiu's yard.

The fight with Dalong gave me a lot of confidence.This shows that this trick is very effective, and it will not be in vain if you practice it.As a result, I couldn't relax even more, and it might save my life at a critical time.

At the same time, I practiced the slingshot for a while, and I have already used the three tricks of the Jedi. Who can guarantee that this slingshot will not come in handy.

After practicing a few times, I was already sweating all over my body, and I just slept again, and I felt very refreshed.

At this moment, when the gate rang, Ba Ye flew in first, and then Jiu Ye stepped into the courtyard.

Seeing that I was sweating profusely, he hurriedly said, "Yangzi, this place is no better than the inland area. The wind by the river is very hard. You should go back to the house and wipe off your sweat, otherwise you will catch cold easily and your body will be in trouble."
