Chapter 722: Tomorrow hangs in the balance
To be honest, Mingye's driving skills are pretty good, and there were quite a few bumps along the way. This girl loves drifting, which makes Li Yun a little uncomfortable. It feels like she is really in Qiu Mingshan...
Most people really can't stand the driving skills of Mingye. Li Yun feels that he is not riding a Wuling Hongguang, but riding a catapult gtr...
"Brother Yun, why did you say this village is called Shigu Village?" he said while driving tomorrow night, very leisurely.
"It's written on the address you sent." Li Yun said, "Actually, you said there should be no problem with Fangcun. Now many villages have changed their names after the reform and opening up."
"Change the name? Why change the name? I think Fangcun's name is quite good. It's simple and easy to remember. Shigu Village is too popular. I've seen many villages called Shigu Village." Ming Ye muttered.
"[Fang] in the name Fangcun represents the surname of a village. In this village, people other than [Fang] are probably [outsiders], and a village formed by [own people] is
It's called clan power." Li Yun said: "The clan power, to put it nicely, means to increase cohesion, but to put it worse... well, to put it worse, it means that the country does not support such an existence for the sake of harmony and stability, so many villages have changed their names.
, maybe this Fang Village changed its name because of the complicated clan power."
"Of course, this is just my speculation. In fact, in reality, there are various reasons that will cause the village to change its name. For example, too many people in the village go out to work, natural and man-made disasters, and then merge with other villages.
Ah, for various reasons, the new people only remember the name of the new village, and only the old people call it by its original name. I’m afraid you just heard the old names of the old people."
Tomorrow night the chickens will nod like pecking at rice.
"Yes, the person who came to our Taoist temple was an old man who kept talking about Fangcun Fangcun..."
While talking, Shigu Village has arrived. It is just an ordinary village. Most of the villagers make a living by farming and breeding. The ground is full of big geese.
Life in the village is pretty good. Small bungalows are built one after another, small cars are bought, and tractors are all imported.
To be fair, a village like this shouldn't be able to hire only girls of Mingye's level...
And what greeted Li Yun and Ming Ye was just a decayed old man.
Very old, very old, and has completely lost the ability to work. However, he is still able to move quickly and is relatively healthy. Li Yun thought that he came here to maintain his health and did a pretty good job.
"This Taoist priest is..."
"Oh, this is the protagonist who performs rituals for you, and he is the real master!" Ming Ye was full of confidence.
The old man didn't think much, he just nodded and led Li Yun and Ming Ye into the village.
There was still no one to greet the two of them. Everyone was busy with their own affairs. Only the old man was leading the way.
No one cares.
"Oh, by the way, don't say anything. This ritual is a matter decided by the old man and me without permission. It has nothing to do with them." The old man said as he walked: "The person you want to perform the ritual is 'Fangcun'."
The old man emphasized again.
It's Fangcun.
Not Shigu Village.
Ming Ye didn't think there was anything, it all seemed the same to her, and Li Yun vaguely heard it.
The relationship between Fangcun and Shigucun is not a simple merger and name change.
The old man took Li Yun and Ming Ye to a large open space.
It's overgrown with weeds, and there's nothing there except some naughty kids running and jumping here.
Frankly speaking, in rural areas where land is equal to money, it is very unscientific to have such a large open space.
The super-large paradise for naughty children really cannot be more luxurious.
Mingye also understood this truth and asked about it at that time.
"Why is there no planning for this place? What a waste it would be for it to be so empty."
After a moment of silence, the old man said: "Because we can't plant any land here, and the cattle don't eat the grass here, it's abandoned here... Don't talk so much, just do your rituals here."
"Layholder, what kind of ritual do you need me to do?"
"Convert the undead, convert the people who died here."
"Transform the souls of the dead..."
Li Yun opened his third eye and looked in front of him.
Ordinary land, not haunted by any dead souls.
However, compared to ordinary land, this place is a bit... too clean.
There is no negative energy.
No fear.
Closer to [none].
"I would like to say something more, there are no ghosts here and there is no need to convert."
"Yes, there is some here, absolutely yes, why don't I know what I have experienced..." The old man scolded: "Yes, I am the one paying for it anyway, you can do the rituals."
Li Yun shook his head and said nothing more.
If a ghost eats three kilograms by himself...
Put down the dragon pattern Taoist platform, recite scriptures and mantras, and save the souls that do not exist in the local area.
The old man was very concerned about this and watched nervously.
The little bear children who were playing happily in the field leaned down when they saw the old man, for fear of being discovered by the old man.
"Look, old man Fang is nagging again."
"How many Taoist priests have been invited?"
"Shh, mom said that old man Fang is mentally ill. He always thinks that there is a ghost in our village or something. Don't get close to him. Let's go and come back after that person is gone."
"Yes, the old man is crazy. Every time we come here, he always yells at us and drives us away. Obviously this land belongs to everyone and not to him. No wonder the adults don't like him."
The naughty kid whispered in a very low voice, but Li Yun still heard it.
The old man's surname is Fang, which is exactly the same as Fang from Fang Village.
The naughty kid is right about one thing.
There are no ghosts or blood here. It is more like a disease imagined by an old man, who is suspicious of ghosts.
But old man Fang's eyes were struggling and in pain.
He wanted the dead souls on the land to rest in peace. He always believed that there were ghosts here and thought it was something he had experienced.
At noon, at twelve o'clock, when the sun is shining brightly and the yang energy is at its strongest, at this time, no ghosts or ghosts dare to come out, and even the evil spirits will stay away.
It seems that there is really no ghost...
At this time, after finishing the ritual, Li Yun, who was preparing to clean up, suddenly felt a cold wind beside him.
"I'm going to go, isn't it noon now..."
Li Yun almost thought it was midnight...
Looking at the direction where the dark wind was blowing, Li Yun was stunned for a moment.
There is indeed a dead soul standing here.
"Well...I take back my words about eating three kilograms."
This dead soul has a dull face and has lost its intelligence long ago. It has become a mindless earth-bound spirit, wandering here quietly, waiting to disappear or re-enter reincarnation.
However, this Earth-bound spirit is obviously a foreigner...
Wearing a green military uniform.
Holding a bayonet rifle.
The hat on the head is embroidered.
