Chapter 185 Expenses
I was a little puzzled after hearing this:
"Diet? What does it mean?"
The old man slowly raised his head, looked at me and asked with a sigh:
"Who are you from Mr. Qin?"
Before I could speak, Jiang Chao, who was beside me, said for me:
"Old Qin is his master, sir, if you really have something important, you can tell us, maybe we can help."
When the old man heard that I was Mr. Qin's apprentice, light emitted again from his turbid eyes, which was a kind of light of hope in despair.
The old man quickly got up, held my wrist with both hands and said:
"This little master, please think of a way to save the people in our village!"
I saw the old man in front of me excitedly, so I spoke first:
"Old sir, don't worry first, sit down and drink a sip of water and say slowly, if you want me to help, you have to tell me what happened in Wangjiatun?"
Some things must be asked clearly in advance. I know the size of my ability. If something serious is really happening, my buddy can't help me.
After hearing this, the old man sat down and looked at me and said:
"We have a land temple in Wangjiatun. Since the land temple was moved, a person in the village has hanged himself near the location before the land temple every fifteen days. Yesterday, you saw that person living well, talking and laughing, but you might have been gone when you get up this morning..."
The old man looked at me and continued to say:
"The village has been hung several times. Until now, there are still people guarding the accidents every day, but it is useless. Yesterday, another person was hung. It was a seven-year-old child. We called the police and the criminal investigation team came to investigate for three days and three nights and gave us a conclusion of suicide. This is simply unreasonable. A seven-year-old child doesn't understand anything. How could he hang himself in the field alone at night? "
Jiang Chao, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but ask:
"I said to you, sir, what you mean by saying this, do you think there is something wrong with the Land Temple?"
The old man looked at Jiang Chao and said:
"We don't think there is something wrong with the Land Temple in our village, but the location where the Land Temple was located was problematic. You said that as soon as the Land God was moved away, something happened in the village one after another. So, everyone in our village thought that the Land God had moved away. There was something dirty underground that was not suppressed by the Land God and harmed people."
I heard this and asked:
"Then you can invite Master Land back again."
When the old man heard me say this, he felt a look of sorrow on his face:
"Oh... you don't know anything. We have tried to move the Land Temple back, but it has no effect at all. After half a month, someone will continue to hang himself. Perhaps the Land God is no longer protecting our Wangjiatun..."
After listening to it, I analyzed it carefully for a while and asked:
"Old sir, haven't you ever thought that all this might be caused by some people who are ill-hearted and deliberately harming people with the power of monsters and monsters?"
The old man looked at me and shook his head:
"We have doubted it. I am also a teacher in the village. I have a culture and do not advocate these feudal superstitions. But we must always believe in science. Forensic doctors have conducted scientific and systematic examinations on every person who hangs, and the results are respiratory deaths caused by suicide by hanging."
Jiang Chao asked again when he heard this:
"Sir, are you sure that there are unclean things in your village now?"
The old man looked at Jiang Chao with a firm look:
"Yes, there must be something unclean that hurts people. Last month, we hired Taoist priests and did rituals for three days and three nights in a row, but it was still useless. We really had no choice but to ask people to inquire. Then we found out about the figure of Mr. Qin, so I rushed over immediately on a donkey cart. Who would have thought of him... He is still far away..."
I looked at the old man's pitiful and helpless expression. At this moment, I felt very sympathetic to his experience with the villagers in the village, but when I thought about it carefully, this matter may not be as simple as he said. After all, this is just a one-sided statement of the old man himself. After all, we have met for the first time.
Perhaps the truth is far more serious than what he said.
Just as I was thinking, the old man continued to ask me:
"My little master, you are Mr. Qin's apprentice, and you should have some ability to exorcise evil spirits. I am here to beg you now, can you go with me and save the poor people in our village?"
When I heard the old man's words, I was not in a hurry to reply, but said to him:
"Old sir, I can't give you any guarantees about this kind of thing. I can only go to the village with you first. If this matter is easy to deal with and we can take action, then I will definitely help you save people without any help. This is also a good thing to accumulate virtue for myself and my descendants. If this matter is beyond my control, then I can't help you, and you can only ask for another wise man."
In fact, there is another reason why I want to go over and take a look, which is that I want to use more such events to improve myself.
Master Liu Wendao once told me that no matter how many books you read, how long you have to practice alone, without practical training and forging, a person who wants to walk through the Yin and Yang realms of human beings will not be qualified no matter what!
Now is indeed an opportunity to train yourself. If the wronged soul is the right one I can deal with, I not only temper myself, but also save a village.
If we can't deal with our buddies, we won't show off. After all, our own life is important.
After hearing what I said, the old man stood up from the chair happily:
"Okay, okay, no problem, thank you, thank you, I... I knelt down and kowtow to you..."
"Hey hey hey, no no, don't, get up quickly!" I said and walked forward with Jiang Chao to help the old man up.
The old man looked at me with tears in his eyes and asked:
"My little master, I'm really grateful. I'll go and pull the donkey cart over first."
"Hey, old man, wait a moment." I stopped the old man and said to him:
"I can go, but the fee must be agreed to you in advance."
Mr. Qin told me more than once that when I am alone in the future, no matter who invites me to see Feng Shui or exorcises evil spirits, there will be a fee, and the fee cannot be low.
The old man nodded after hearing this:
"Okay, how much should I give it at this time? If it's too much, I'll let everyone in the village get it together for you."
I looked at the old man's nervous look and felt compassion:
"Two thousand, if I go and see it, I can't handle it, I will refund it to you in full."
Jiang Chao also said:
"Old sir, this fee is not expensive at all. My brother has obtained the true teachings of Mr. Qin, and it is Maoshansheng..."
