Chapter 1 Ancient Village Returns
Xingshen Village, which is full of ancient houses, is located in the west of Lishan.
Mountains over a thousand meters high are natural barriers, with mountain shadows covering the fields, resulting in heavy yin and yin in villages with poor geographical locations.
After travelers pass by this place, many strange experiences will be heard, saying that the door opened in the middle of the night, the candles lit up by themselves, the furniture inside the house moved inexplicably, and black shadows appeared outside the window, and the crying of women and children could be heard...
It's vivid and vivid, and it seems that it's really that way.
The villagers scoffed at it, saying that they created false information by catching the wind and shadows. However, these things were rumored outside. Although there was no substantial evidence, they still forcibly added the name of the ghost village to Xingshen Village.
I am a member of Xingshen Village, and I know that the rumors about this village outside are not groundless.
My name is Fang Gui, and I am an abandoned baby. When I was still in my infancy, I was adopted by the old couple of the Fang family.
Why do my biological parents have the heart to abandon their relatives? This has always been something I want to figure out.
If you talk about the evil village in the ancient village, you have to compare it with what happened. Compared to the bizarre situations that appear in me, the rumors in the village are just a small witch.
When I was four years old, I had a big problem and suddenly lost my mind. In the evening, I wandered around the village like a walking corpse, which really scared the villagers. It is said that I can slide as my legs and feet don’t move as the terrain rises and falls.
How can a normal child do this?
Everyone in the village decided that I had a big evil, and my adoptive parents were also panicked and hurriedly invited the most famous Yin and Yang Mr. in the village to see the matter.
The old man’s surname is Gong, and everyone respectfully calls him Gong Lao. He is indeed capable. He can tell at a glance that he lost his soul and needs to cast a spell to attract the soul to return.
But Mr. Gong also said that this is not an ordinary soul lost, it is just the beginning.
My parents were shocked and asked repeatedly what this meant?
Mr. Gong gave an explanation, saying that my little baby is very special, so special that the yin and yang in the body are incompatible, and even two completely opposite fates are mixed in the middle, one is the main yin and the other is the main yang.
It is still stable before the age of four, but after the age of four, the soul and body cannot grow simultaneously, and the speed of soul growth is much higher than the speed of body growth. Therefore, every seven days from now on, the soul will leave the body.
This frequent separation of souls is extremely dangerous. If you don’t find a way to stop it, you may not live for half a year.
His parents started crying, and Mr. Gong said that his Taoism was too shallow and could only treat symptoms but not root causes.
That night, he used my clothes as a guide, and after casting the spell, he called my name everywhere in the village. Not to mention, it was really useful. I woke up the next morning.
Since then, every seven days, my soul will leave my body, and every time Mr. Gong takes action to guide my soul back.
But it is not a solution to keep going like this. It is getting closer and closer to half a year. Mr. Gong spoke, and the little baby is not alive.
My parents knelt down and begged. After several hesitations, Mr. Gong finally felt compassionate and decided to use the forbidden method to help me survive the disaster.
If he wants to calm my soul and not run around, he needs to set up a tablet of immortality and place it in the Fang family’s ancestral temple to receive incense. During this process, he has to draw talismans and cast spells.
Because forcibly suppressing souls will damage your life, this is also the reason why people refuse to use the magic unless they are absolutely necessary.
The parents were so grateful.
In this way, I was only four and a half years old and had a tablet of immortality.
Fortunately, the elders of the Fang family and other elders were enlightened, otherwise how could they agree with this matter?
Not to mention, this method was immediately effective. Since then, my soul has stabilized and stayed in my body honestly and stopped making trouble.
After this incident, Mr. Gong disappeared.
My parents often say that Gong Yuan is my life-saving benefactor.
On the surface, I really returned to normal, and the villagers gradually forgot about this incident, but only I know what a terrifying experience of leaving the soul after half a year.
Other children may not remember anything when they were four years old, but I am different. The strong memory can be said to be a gifted person, not something others can imagine.
All the memories of the age of four are buried deep in my heart.
During the process of the soul leaving the body again and again, I saw incredible scenes.
The lonely ghost wandering in the village, the numerous black shadows faintly flashing on Lishan, the legendary Baojiaxian, and even peeked at the scene of the monster transforming into a human being.
Even after the soul returns to the body, you can see those dirty things.
There are shocking signs in my subconscious reminding me that I cannot reveal these things to others. Not to mention that there are only a few people who believe me, but just talk about it without any restraint, it may cause disaster.
So I kept my mouth shut and never mentioned these evil experiences to people.
Fortunately, after the tablet of immortality was erected, not only did the soul stabilize, but the evil spirits that should not exist in the world were no longer seen.
In this way, I grew up safely and healthy until I was 18 years old. With the provincial top scorer, I was admitted to Bincheng Medical University, which was ranked among the top ten in China, and also received a generous scholarship, which won glory for the Fang family.
But after the great joy, there was great sorrow. The adoptive parents who were over 60 years old might be too excited and both became sick, so they passed away one after another.
The incident happened so suddenly that it made me feel sad.
The most painful thing in the world is that the son wants to support his parents but his parents are gone.
Since then, I am the only one left at home, and there is also a dog the size of a palm, called Qingshan.
After burying my adoptive parents with the help of the old patriarch, I was confused for a long time.
I only recovered a little before school started. I realized that I could only comfort my adoptive parents' spirits in heaven with excellent results. If I achieve something in the future, I will definitely help Xingshen Village get rid of poverty and become rich in this way, so as to repay the land that feeds me.
When people have goals, they have motivation. I feel that time is fast, and two years pass in a flash. I am already twenty years old.
After the sophomore class was over, I took advantage of the summer vacation to return to Xingshen Village.
After completing the coursework every day, I help the villagers do some work, and the holidays are also free and easy.
The girls in the village are very enthusiastic about me, but the one who is most enthusiastic about me is Wang Xiulan, the third daughter of the village chief.
She and I grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They are eighteen years old this year. They have a likable baby face and a simple and natural temperament of a country girl. They have a big braid that is almost bent over their legs.
The young man in the village always had his eyes stuck to her, but she only had me in her eyes.
She followed me every day, Brother Fang was short and Qingshan was also responsible for feeding her.
The young people in the village looked at me very badly, but they didn't know that I smiled bitterly in my heart.
Because, I don’t have that meaning to Xiulan, I’m so familiar with her, just the feeling of her younger sister.
What I am thinking about these days is how to express this clearly without hurting Xiu Lan’s heart and not to miss the girl’s great years.
It is August, and it is rainy season.
After a day of rain, a lot of debris rushed out, blocking the ditches at the entrance of the village.
I didn't want to wait until tomorrow to deal with it. Moreover, the rain stopped in the evening, and God knew when it would fall again? So, I carried a shovel and followed Qingshan behind me, and rushed to the entrance of the village to prepare for dredging.
"Brother Fang, I knew you would come. You haven't eaten yet. Look, eat first, and you will have the energy to work after you are full."
Xiulan's voice came from behind, accompanied by the cheerful cries of the dog.
Sighing, I turned around and met the eyes of the big girl who seemed to be talking.
The dim lights on the street fell on her pretty face full of elasticity and youthfulness, and my heartbeat stopped.
Scratching his head, smiling a little embarrassedly, he took the lunch box she handed over, opened it and saw that the white rice was covered with pickled mustard greens, a braised chicken leg, and a spicy stir-fried cabbage.
It’s a lie to say that you are not moved.
But the more this happens, the less it cannot delay others.
I closed the lid, took a deep breath, and was ready to speak.
Even if this statement makes Xiulan sad, it is better than being procrastinated.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I heard the movement. The sound of footsteps of "dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong" came, and the green mountains barked.
Both of us turned around and looked over. The moment we saw clearly, my heart suddenly rose.
A cool breeze swept over with the coming people, making people feel cold all over.
The neighbor Chen was running quickly. He was thin and concise, with wrinkles on his face, and his face was full of urgency, and his legs were muddy.
He started shouting before he arrived.
"Xiao Gui, something happened in the Fang family cemetery. Your parents' bones were stolen!"
"What?"
I was shocked and my body shook for a while, and I fell down.
Chapter completed!
