The townspeople who came with Chen Mengsheng were shocked by Zang Da's daughter-in-law. The good man said that he was gone in the blink of an eye. The screams from the female family members broke the silence of the dawn in Hulu Town, and Chen Mengsheng couldn't care less.
He went up to wipe the blood that was spattered on his face, and kicked open the door of Zangjiu's house. What came out was a puff of thick smoke, which made Chen Mengsheng's eyes sting. From the back hall of Zangjiu's single room,
A bright red fire came from inside. Soon after that, Chen Mengsheng used both hands to suppress the tongues of fire that came out of the sky with wind and thunder.
Xiang Xiaotian shouted at the top of his lungs: "Don't stand still, let's put out the fire..." As Xiang Xiaotian shouted, the people in the town started to help put out the fire.
Zang Jiu's house was not big to begin with, and Chen Mengsheng's wind and thunder suppressed the fire. In less than a moment, everyone had put out the fire.
The townspeople who had been busy for most of the night carried the body of Zangda's wife and said goodbye to Chen Mengsheng and left. Xiang Xiaotian looked at the bookshelves in the house that were burned by the fire and said: "Brother, it seems that old boy Zangjiu is really here.
There are secrets hidden in the book! Now it has been completely burned with a fire. We should have stayed here if we had known."
Chen Mengsheng looked at the rising red sun and said: "Brother, you are calculated mentally or not. Even if we stay here, we will be lured out, but we are not without gains. Just now when I went to grab the big knife in the hands of Zangda's wife,
Unintentionally, my hand was shaken open by her. This was definitely not a spirit of evil spirits, but a serious Buddhist technique. I guessed that the evildoer used the body of Zangda's wife to compete with me.
"
Chuni stepped into Zangjiu's house, pointed to the burned bookshelf and said: "The books on this bookshelf were my grandfather's favorite things during his lifetime. We were never allowed to enter his house without permission. But I once heard that I
Dad said something very strange, and even now I still don’t understand what it means.”
"What's that sentence?" Chen Mengsheng asked.
Chuni lowered her head and pondered for a moment and said, "It seems to be something called Yitian. When I was still young, I remember my father said that my grandfather's treasures were all hidden in Yitian."
Chen Mengsheng repeated it in his mouth several times and then said: "Yitian, this should be a crossword puzzle again. Zang Jiu is a very scheming person. Since he can let Chuni's father know this, I think it must not be groundless. I found it."
Maybe Zangjiu’s baby is what the people behind the scenes want.”
Xiang Xiaotian kicked away the bookshelf that was still smoking, and cursed angrily: "Old boy, you can do it. You left a meaningless nonsense, where can we find it?"
Shangguan Yanran meditated and drew strokes on her palm with her jade finger, raised her head and said, "Senior brother, shouldn't the word "spring" mean "spring"?
"Spring...? What spring? Spring Festival or spring?..." Xiang Xiaotian asked Shangguan Yanran strangely, but Shangguan Yanran rolled her eyes at Xiang Xiaotian and said nothing.
Xiang Xiaotian looked at Chen Mengsheng blankly again, and Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said: "I really don't know this. Junior sisters, you guys haven't slept well since you were busy with everyone last night. Let's all go and get some sleep while the day is peaceful.
." Chen Mengsheng said with concern when he saw that everyone in the room had bloodshot eyes.
Zangjiu's house cannot be occupied anymore, and fortunately, the houses on the east and west sides are all empty. In the west room, three girls, Chunni and Zhuzhu Xiaotong, live in the inner room, and outside, Shangguan Yanran, Qi Ying, and Lihua live in the outer room. In the east room,
Yao Rengui lived in the inner room, and Chen Mengsheng and Xiang Xiaotian lived in the outer room. After everyone fell asleep, Chen Mengsheng was still thinking about the incident when he was shaken away by Zangda's wife. One person is short-term and two is long-term. As the saying goes, three people are good.
He is a cobbler, but he can still stand up to Zhuge Liang. It seems that I am going to go to the underworld to ask Judge Cui and ask him for some experience...
The ghost soldiers in the netherworld are already accustomed to Chen Mengsheng's visit. After asking about the purpose of his visit, the ghost went to report to Cui Yu, the judge of the Ming Yin Law Department. When Cui Yu heard that Chen Mengsheng was coming, he welcomed him out of the door with a smile.
Chen Mengsheng waited for him to speak first and said: "Haha, it's such a coincidence that the Immortal came today. A few days ago, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and the King of Hell of the Tenth Palace of the Netherworld showed their merits to the Immortal and demonstrated the merits of the Immortal in the heaven in the earth. The little god expected
It’s not long before the Supreme Immortal returns to Heaven and ranks among the Immortal Classes. Huh? Why did the Supreme Immortal look embarrassed after hearing such great news?”
"The return of the Immortal to Heaven and his rank in the Immortal Class is nothing but a cloud for Chen Mengsheng. I just hope that God can forgive my master as soon as possible. I am already satisfied. Today I came to trouble Judge Cui and encountered a difficult matter.
I hope Judge Cui will give you more advice." Chen Mengsheng bowed.
Cui Yu saluted and said: "What the Immortal said is too embarrassing for the little god. I wonder what happened to the Immortal? Please come into the Yinlu Department and sit down and talk slowly. It's not too late. Please, Immortal."
As soon as Chen Mengsheng entered the Yin Law Department, he didn't even bother to sit down, but he asked urgently: "Judge Cui, do you know how to use souls to do evil?"
"Both Buddhism and Taoism have this technique of capturing souls, but if it is used for evil purposes... I guess it is a trick commonly used by heretics. But I don't know why the Immortal asked this question?" Cui Yu looked at him with a look on his face.
Chen Mengsheng asked solemnly. Chen Mengsheng told Cui Yu in detail about his visit to Hulu Town, and even lifted up his messy hair to show Cui Yu the dark spots on his face.
"This...this...this is too lawless. I dared to use the soul-obsessing technique on you and almost caused a catastrophe. The little god has only heard a little about the soul-obsession technique. Most soul-obsession techniques are
Yu Zhu Youshu. Like the immortal said, using dreams to do evil is probably a method of controlling dreams. This technique originated from Miao territory and is also called Gu Jiangshu. It can kill people invisibly. It was later used by Taoist monks in the world.
Buddhism and Taoism's extensive and profound magic techniques have created techniques such as raising ghosts, lowering heads, and capturing souls, etc., and the method of controlling dreams was eventually introduced into evil ways." Cui Yu said seriously.
"Is there a way to break this method? I also looked through the book of life and death in Hulu Town. Except for the souls of people who died in the past, they have already entered the six realms of reincarnation. I really can't find an unjust soul who died in vain to inquire!"
"Haha, Immortal, you don't know something. The souls captured by the dream control method are all eaten up by the caster. This is more cruel than those charlatans and magicians who write the birth date and pierce a villain. Moreover,
The person who casts the spell consumes the living soul to strengthen his own spell. The only way for the Immortal to break this spell is to capture the person who performs it alive before he commits evil."
After hearing Cui Yu's words, Chen Mengsheng said depressedly: "If I could know who was doing the evil, I wouldn't come here to ask you for advice!"
Cui Yu said with a smile: "It is not difficult to know who is doing evil. As long as the immortal can trace the source and find the evil person, it will be like searching for something..." Chen Mengsheng chewed on Judge Cui's words repeatedly.
With an idea vaguely in mind, Cui Yu hurriedly said goodbye and returned to Hulu Town.
Chen Mengsheng walked into the hall and heard Shangguan Yanran and everyone shouting: "Senior brother is back. If you have anything to do, just go to him directly." Chen Mengsheng saw inexplicably a large group of townspeople from Hulu Town in the hall. There were several
This is the person who was looking for Zangda's wife with him last night.
There was an old man among the visitors. When he saw Chen Mengsheng's post, he said politely: "Dear guest, don't worry too much, you are the savior of our Hulu Town. The old man's surname is Zang and his first name is Demu. Everyone calls me Uncle Mu. This time Hulu
The town has encountered a disaster. The old clan leader Zang Jiu also died unexpectedly. The people in the town elected the old clan leader as the clan leader, and I specially invite the distinguished guests and everyone to come and watch the ceremony tomorrow."
Seeing his kind-hearted appearance, Chen Mengsheng unknowingly had a favorable impression of him and said, "Uncle Mu, you're welcome. Chen Mengsheng is just a reckless man, so what kind of distinguished guest is he? We will definitely be there for the ceremony tomorrow, so first congratulations to Mu Shurong for being appointed as the clan leader."
"The old man exchanged a few words with Chen Mengsheng and then left in a hurry. Chen Mengsheng looked back and saw Chunni's face sinking and couldn't help but feel strange...
"Miss Chunni, who is Zang Demu? Why is there a look of displeasure on the girl's face? A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without a master for a day. It is understandable that the townspeople in the town elect a new clan leader.
What happened, is there any hidden secret here?" Chen Mengsheng asked puzzledly.
Xiang Xiaotian walked up to Chen Mengsheng and said: "Brother, you are stupid. People here are rushing to choose a new clan leader before Zang Jiu's bones are cold. Isn't it because the lice on the bald head clearly blame Zang Jiu for tampering with their ancestors' things? What do you think?
Will Miss Chunni still have a good life in the future?" Chunni felt even more sad when she heard what Xiang Xiaotian said. She stamped her feet and ran back to her room and never came out again...
The next day, Uncle Mu personally came to pick up Chen Mengsheng and the others. Chunni excused herself from not wanting to attend the ceremony because she was feeling unwell. Miss Lihua never liked to join in the fun. So she left with Zhuzhu and Xiaotong to take care of Chunni, and Yao Rengui didn't go either.
He said that he would protect these girls' families. Chen Mengsheng wanted to take the opportunity to check on the people in Hulu Town, so he took Xiang Xiaotian, Shangguan Yanran and Qi Ying out with Zang Demu.
There is a large stone archway built in the southwest corner of Hulu Town. Today, there are people standing on both sides of the archway. Uncle Mu was covered in red silk with the names of hundreds of families by the townspeople of Hulu Town, and was supported by everyone.
Arriving under the archway, Zang Demu first read the Tianqi table and then picked up a cinnabar pen from an altar table and traced the writing on the archway below.
The original writing on the archway became blurred after exposure to wind and rain, but Chen Mengsheng was greatly surprised when Zang Demu traced it with cinnabar. He stepped out of the crowd and walked under the archway and asked: "Mu
Uncle, what do you mean by describing so many points?" Seeing Chen Mengsheng being so rude, the townspeople began to whisper to each other, and some simply cursed the foreigners to get out, and the crowd suddenly became confused...
Zang Demu turned around and saw that Chen Mengsheng's face was serious and did not look like he was making trouble. He raised his hand and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet and don't be rude to the distinguished guests. If it weren't for the distinguished guests, we would still be kept in the dark by that old guy Zang Jiu.
"How can you be so abusive when we haven't thanked our guests yet!" The townspeople became quiet after hearing Zang Demu's words.
Zang Demu pointed to the handwriting on the archway and said to Chen Mengsheng: "To be honest, we are all the generals of Yan State, after Zang Pei. The dots on the handwriting here are the characters inherited by the Zang family. They were originally used when marching and fighting.
The characters were later engraved on the archway by the ancestors. Only the newly appointed patriarch could describe them with cinnabar. Dear guest, please take a look at the more or less dots above. They are actually two lines of characters. Regardless of descendants, they are all from the same clan, regardless of relatives.
Everyone is treated equally." Chen Mengsheng was stunned. It turned out that the circled handwriting he found on Zangjiu's bookshelf had other profound meanings. He really regretted not calling Chunni to ask...
Chen Mengsheng retreated into the crowd, and Shangguan Yanran poked him gently. Chen Mengsheng turned sideways and asked, "Junior sister, what's wrong?" Shangguan Yanran pursed her lips and pointed to the archway.
"Ah..." Chen Mengsheng looked up and saw the word "spring" engraved in squares on the plaque of the archway. Could it be that this word "spring" is the day and day that Zang Jiu said?
