Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth I am waiting for you
"According to common sense, a tree where people have been hanged should be chopped off and covered with cinnabar. The absence of these on the tree means that no one has touched the tree. The dead person hanging on the tree may still be on the tree when the time comes.
Try it at night and you will know if you see the village."
The hanged ghost is one of the fierce ghosts.
Generally, when someone hangs himself from a tree, he has to cut off the branch of the tree where he was hanged, and smear something like cinnabar on the broken part to prevent the branch from growing any further. This is to lower the hanged person.
Let him come out and drag people.
You don’t have to be a magician to understand this matter, and it is not difficult to operate. A strong person can do it at noon.
The villagers did not touch the tree, probably for some reason.
While the two people were communicating, Ye Yang's eyes had already glanced at the window of a family, and the family had hung a purse on the window. When the man saw Ye Yang looking at him, he quickly shrank his head and hid back in the house.
Ye Yang passed several houses in a row and saw the same purse.
Butcher Wang also asked: "Now, the May Festival is still far away? Why are you hanging incense bags out?"
Butcher Wang was asking questions knowingly: the purses those people hung out were not the Dragon Boat Festival incense purses, but the talisman bags used by sorcerers.
When people here celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to planting mugwort and peach branches at the door, they also hang a red cloth purse. Most of the stuff inside is mugwort leaves. The meaning is nothing more than to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune.
Talisman bags are things that are hung around people's necks to hold amulets, and they contain real talismans.
The village chief laughed twice: "Aren't we leaning against a mountain? Why can't those who are in the first or fifteenth year of junior high school hang something up there?"
The old man was obviously guarding against the two of them.
Ye Yang and Butcher Wang looked at each other and followed the village chief to the village calmly. Ye Yang sent a message: "We have to find a way to make this old man speak. It would be great if the stupid dog was here, he has ghost eyes."
Butcher Wang said calmly: "Don't worry, I'll be here soon. We'll talk about it when we get to Lao Mo's house."
The village chief led them to the end of the village and against the mountain before stopping: "This is Mo Yatou's house, you go in!"
Butcher Wang said with a half-smile, "Why don't you go in with us? I have to go in and see if there are too many things inside. Can you be a witness?"
The old village chief gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll follow you in. I'll get the ax when I get home. I locked the lock and the key has long since been lost. I have to find an ax to break the lock."
"No need!" Butcher Wang stretched out his hand to pinch the iron lock on the door, and broke the nose of the lock with a slight twist.
The village chief was immediately frightened - the lock nose was as thick as a person's little finger. Even if he took an ax, he would have to hit it several times to open it. But the lock nose was broken like a toothpick by Butcher Wang.
Broken.
Can the old man not be afraid?
The old man's lips were still trembling, butcher Wang opened the door.
There is a screen wall facing the front door. Logically speaking, it is not unusual for wealthy families to build a screen wall inside the door. Usually it is to prevent outsiders from seeing the home when the door is open.
The patterns on the screen wall are either the word "Fu" or auspicious animals. In Feng Shui terms, they are meant to ward off evil spirits.
There is a strange symbol painted on the screen wall of the Mo family.
Butcher Wang subconsciously said: "The dead rest in peace."
Ye Yang also said: "Is this the family tomb?"
Family tombs are a relatively rare custom, which means that the living and the deceased live in the same room. In a courtyard, half of the courtyard is occupied by people and the other half is buried with deceased relatives.
This custom is rare not only in the Northeast, but also in the South. After all, the idea of separation between yin and yang has long been ingrained in people's hearts, and few people feel that they should still live together after the death of their family members.
Moreover, the person who built the family tomb has already mentally recognized that the family is with him, so why would he add an extra requiem to the home to let the deceased rest in peace?
After Ye Yang stepped into the yard, Butcher Wang also dragged the village chief into the yard.
Just as the two people were about to go around the left side of the screen wall and enter the courtyard, they heard someone in the courtyard say coldly: "You are here? Please come in!"
The village chief's body went limp and he was about to sit on the ground: "Then...there...there's someone over there!"
There is a wall separating Ye Yang and the others from the courtyard. Even if Ye Yang has his divine eyes, he cannot see what is in the courtyard.
Butcher Wang wanted to go inside, but the village chief was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "You two... two... I know that you are not ordinary people. You go in! Don't take me with you."
Butcher Wang helped the village chief up: "Let me tell you the truth. I am not Xiao Mo's aunt, I am the great fairy she hired."
Butcher Wang was afraid that he would not understand the village chief if he told him that he was a "warlock", so he used the "big fairy" that is most familiar to Northeastern people.
"Xiao Mo hired us here just to understand the evil things that happened to the Mo family back then. Since we are here, we must be responsible to the end."
"You heard it too. There are people living in the courtyard of Lao Mo's house. If we don't figure it out, there might be disaster in your village. I don't need you to go over with us and play with your life. Just tell me what you know.
