Chapter 27 Eve

Next is Tanlangxing, which is located due west. The place due west is where the village pigs are slaughtered. The slaughterhouse opened by Butcher He specializes in killing New Year pigs for the village.

Because to the west is the village cemetery, most people avoid it, but this man did not believe in ghosts and gods, so he said he would kill pigs and cows in front of these graveyards to see what they could do.

Maybe it's because the butcher has a strong evil spirit, so it's really no big deal for him to kill pigs for more than ten years.

Once when he was drunk and coming home from the slaughterhouse, he encountered a ghost beating the wall. He immediately peed everywhere and cursed, and walked out not long after.

This was originally supposed to be the location of Wu Quxing.

Master still asked me to follow the same method, placing two clay figures in the place he designated, and then drew talismans to form an array.

It sounds like this is very simple, but in fact it was already dark after we finished our work.

Uninformed people in the village saw my master and I walking around the village with compasses, and thought we were looking for some treasure.

In the evening, Master said he would go back to the Taoist temple and come back to me the next day.

I had nothing to do at night, so I released Wu Hanzhang from the bell. This man was in his forties, with a white face and braided hair. He was indeed from the Qing Dynasty.

After he came out, he bowed to me and saluted like an old scholar. He talked so much that my head was spinning.

However, I remembered one thing. With his writing skills, he would be able to understand "Qing Wei Shu Zhi", because there are many words in this book mixed with plain text, and I often remember it but don't understand the meaning.

I showed it to Wu Hanzhang, and he immediately said: "Pediatrics, pediatrics, Xiaoke promises to explain the words in the book to you clearly."

He didn't brag, and I suddenly understood a few words after his guidance.

However, I kept Master's teachings in mind and did not dare to have more conversations with him. After all, Yin and Yang are separated from each other.

After a deep sleep, Master woke me up. He asked me to mark the last three stars with him.

The last three stars are Wenqu, Lianzhen and Qisha. The pile of rocks that Master asked me to mark for the first time was supposed to be Qisha, and the location of Wenqu is the home of the only college student in our village.

It is said that he studied law.

Qisha is the home of the village chief Li Yongbao. The positions of Lian Zhen and Qisha are reversed, but Lian Zhen's position is Wenqu position.

Anyway, it's quite complicated to go around. This is the result of the reverse flow of Feng Shui. If it were the normal Seven Stars of the Ghost Gate, it would have been found long ago according to the direction and compass guidance.

When Li Yongbao saw his master, he couldn't help but step back. The master grabbed him and turned his face pale with fright. He said that he was not sensible last time and bumped into the old gentleman.

The master said that I am not here to settle accounts with you. Please inform the villagers that I need their help.

After that, the master added another sentence: "I guess you don't want to watch people continue to die in the village, right?"

"Gu Zhou and I are here to help you. If you don't want to, just follow our arrangements."

In the past few months, people have been killed one after another in the village, which has caused panic in the whole village, and many people want to move away.

No one from outside wanted to come in, as if Ligou Village had been infected by the plague.

Li Yongbao has seen his master's methods, so he is in awe of him now. But he scorns the Stone Bodhisattva. After all, he is just a mortal body made of clay. If he really asks for something, he will remain silent.

I thought to myself, isn't this your own wishful thinking to burn incense and pay tribute to others?

"Okay, okay, old gentleman, just tell me to do it right away."

Master told him about our needs.

After hearing this, the village chief ran to the village committee without saying a word and shouted with a loudspeaker: "All the men, women, and children in the village must come to my house to gather!"

Master selected seven suitable people from the villagers and asked me to take each of them to the designated location. Master threatened them and said: "This is a good deed to accumulate virtue, but you can't tell people everywhere. If you tell anyone, you will be punished."

If you know how to shorten your life span, if you tell someone to shorten it by five years, you can make up your own mind."

"But as long as you do this, you will add five years to your life, and you will also be blessed by your descendants."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately murmured to each other, and the chosen ones looked like they were the chosen ones, as if they were going to do something important to save the world.

Those who were not selected looked disappointed and asked why they were not so lucky.

Except for these seven people and us, the master and the disciples, who knew what to do, the others had no idea at all. They just thought that the master was doing it and praying for them.

Everything is ready, just wait for the master's order tomorrow, and the positions of the seven stars of the Ghost Gate will be reversed for half an hour.

Master said that he would open an altar to practice the practice at that time, and asked me to protect him.

The strange thing is that Master said in the afternoon that he would still go back to the Taoist temple in the evening, which made me feel a little uneasy.

Why does Master have to return to the Taoist temple at this critical moment?

Every time I asked him, he said someone from Taoist temple was coming and he had to go back to deal with it, and asked me not to follow him.

Although I am confused, I still have no doubts about Master.

But in Ligou Village in the evening, two uninvited guests came, two people who claimed to renovate quilts.

They found an unattended vacant lot in the village and built a shed.

People like this often came to the village before, so no one doubted their identity.

But the next day, the villagers discovered that the two people were missing. The things were still there but the people were missing.

The two people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Even if they left, they would have driven away, not to mention that there was still a lot of things in the place.

Today happens to be the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and I feel a little nervous for no reason. According to Master, the great mage should take action against me today.

Even though I waited anxiously and long, I didn't see Master. At about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, it started to rain lightly.

There is also a cold wind blowing outside, and it looks like it will snow in the evening.

In such weather, almost all the people in the village sit by the fire with their families, and no one goes out.

I also bought myself some clothes.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I still didn't see Master, and I couldn't help but feel worried. Did something happen to Master?

But then I thought about how many people could hurt Master based on his ability.
