Qin Yu's heart skipped a beat when he thought that Geng Fang had accomplices, because he thought of a bad possibility!
Geng Fang is here to kill Geng Jianguo, but if Geng Jianguo dies, the remaining three people will definitely be frightened and be cautious every day, and may even escape from the Geng family.
If the ghosts were really seeking revenge, it would be useless for the three of them to escape. But in fact, it was not the ghosts that were seeking revenge at all, so Geng Fang would definitely not allow these three people to escape.
If you want to prevent these three people from running away, there is only one way, which is to kill those three people while killing Geng Jianguo.
"Those three people..."
Qin Yu's eyes suddenly flashed brightly. If he wanted to kill these three people overnight, the best way would be to gather these three people together. If you think about it this way, Geng Fang's accomplice is...
"Bie Xue, capture Geng Fang, and then go to the ancestral hall!"
Without any hesitation, Qin Yu turned around and ran towards the ancestral hall. As for Geng Fang, Qin Yu believed that Bie Xue could handle it. With Bie Xue's strength, it was too easy to deal with an ordinary person, and what he had to do now was
Rush to the ancestral hall to prevent certain events from happening.
In the ancestral hall, the dim candles were burning quietly. Geng Mingsheng and the other three were snoring against a wooden pillar in the ancestral hall. They had already fallen asleep.
At first, the three of them insisted on kneeling in front of the spiritual tablets of the Geng family ancestors in the ancestral hall, but in the end they couldn't resist the onset of sleepiness, and finally found a wooden pillar to lean against and fell asleep.
Suddenly, the flames on the two candles swayed slightly, and the door of the ancestral hall was slowly pushed open a crack. A cold wind blew in, and a pair of eyes were exposed from the crack in the door.
They were a pair of eyes without any emotion. When the cold wind blew, Geng Mingsheng and the others subconsciously tightened their clothes, and some shrank their necks. Seeing this scene, the eyes blinked a few times, and then,
A stream of white smoke blew in through the crack in the door.
White smoke blew in and floated throughout the ancestral hall. After a while, Geng Mingsheng and the three of them slipped from the pillars and fell asleep on the ground. They didn't mind the coolness of the floor, and they didn't even wake up.
Zhizhi~
The wooden door was slowly pushed open, accompanied by gusts of cold wind. This cold wind blew out the only two candles. The entire ancestral hall was dark, and I could only barely see a figure standing at the door.
This figure walked towards Geng Mingsheng and the others step by step. When they walked in front of Geng Mingsheng and the others, a faint light appeared with a bang. It turned out that this figure was holding a lantern in his hand.
Through this faint red light, what can be seen is an old face, the skinny hand holding the lantern, and at the same time, a black box on the right hand.
Holding the lantern in his left hand, he slowly opened the black box with his right hand. Inside, there was an animal similar to a lizard.
The skinny hand reached in, grabbed the lizard-like animal out of the black box, and then placed it on the ground.
As soon as this lizard-like animal landed on the ground, it stood still for a few seconds. Then, as if it had discovered something, it suddenly crawled towards the direction where Geng Mingsheng and the others were, as fast as a gecko crawling.
However, just when the animal was about to climb on top of Geng Mingsheng and the others, a ray of sword light shot in, directly stabbing the animal with the sword, and the tip of the sword penetrated the floor.
Snap!
The lantern fell and went out, and the figure immediately disappeared towards the ancestral hall, trying to hide in the darkness, but at this moment, Qin Yu's voice sounded at the door of the ancestral hall.
"Uncle, there is no need to hide anymore."
Qin Yu, Meng Yao and Cui Yingying walked into the ancestral hall. The three of them used their mobile phones to turn on the flashlights, illuminating the entire ancestral hall. Bie Xue on the other side was holding Geng Fang in one hand and pulling out the sword on the ground with the other.
came out.
This sword belonged to her, and it was she who shot the sword at the last moment and stabbed the animal to death.
Under the light of the flashlight, the figure had nowhere to escape. In the end, it finally walked out from behind a wooden pillar. Just as Qin Yu had shouted before, this figure was none other than his great uncle.
At this time, the great-uncle didn't look the same as before when Qin Yu saw him walking awkwardly. He had a gloomy face. When he saw Geng Fang being carried by Bie Xue, he suddenly sighed and said, "It's Geng Fang who told you."
Yeah."
"No." Qin Yu shook his head, "Geng Fang didn't say anything. These are all our guesses. Since Geng Fang has an accomplice, I thought about it for a long time and the most likely person is you, great uncle."
"Oh, why is it me?" Great uncle seemed to be very interested in this question, "You are just an outsider, and you have been in our village for less than a day. Why do you think I am Geng Fang's accomplice?"
"Because you and Geng Fang are the only two people who have been telling the villagers that the ghosts of Geng Laosan and the others are seeking revenge. Based on this, you are highly suspicious."
"Is it just because of this?"
"Of course it's not because of this." Qin Yu shook his head, "This is actually nothing. After all, it is normal for the older generation to believe this. What really makes me suspicious is that Geng Fang has an accomplice."
"Geng Fang must have an accomplice to cooperate with him, and you have always emphasized that Geng Mingsheng and the others should come to the ancestral hall, hoping to get blessings from their ancestors. If you didn't know that Geng Fang had an accomplice, you might not have suspected anything, but you knew that Geng Fang had an accomplice.
After becoming an accomplice, your motives are somewhat questionable."
"Gathering Geng Mingsheng and the three of them together, they can just kill them all, and there are no other people present, so they can clean up the scene easily. As for doubts, I'm afraid no one doubts that an old man who can't walk unsteadily has the strength to kill three people."
Strong man."
Qin Yu stared at Uncle Tai, "But what I still don't understand is that Geng Fang killed people because they broke the rules of collecting corpses, but Uncle Tai, why did you kill them? Uncle Tai, your
Due to your identity, Geng Laosan and the others may not dare to be disrespectful to you, nor can they offend you. I hope my uncle can answer my questions."
"It seems that Geng Fang didn't tell you." Grand uncle's expression was very strange. He did not answer Qin Yu's question, but looked at Geng Fang, "What did you do to Geng Fang?"
"Nothing good?" Qin Yu nodded towards Bie Xue. Bie Xue patted Geng Fang on the back of his neck, then threw Geng Fang in the direction of Grand Uncle. Geng Fang woke up automatically after falling to the ground.
come over.
"Great uncle, I..." When Geng Fang woke up and saw his great uncle in front of him, he knew what had happened in an instant, and a look of guilt appeared on his face.
"Needless to say, I know everything. You are not to blame for this matter." Grand uncle pulled Geng Fang up from the ground, and then looked at Qin Yu, "You are right, I was the mastermind behind all this."
, Geng Fang was just following my orders."
"Uncle, you don't have to tell me this. I'm not a policeman, so you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself."
Qin Yu spread his hands, knowing that his great-uncle wanted to take all the blame on himself.
"As for how my great-uncle will tell the police when the time comes, it's none of your business, I won't get involved. I just hope that my great-uncle can satisfy my curiosity. Why do you do this?"
Qin Yu looked directly at the great uncle, who was silent. After a while, he spoke again, "Since you want to know, then I will tell you."
"Uncle?" Geng Fang on the side hesitated.
"It's okay. Since the matter has reached this point, it doesn't matter if we say it." Grand uncle waved his hand towards Geng Fang, and then looked at Qin Yu, "Because this concerns our entire Geng family. If Geng Laosan and the others don't have
After being punished, more and more people will become corpse collectors, and then Geng Jiayun will be finished."
"Why?" Qin Yu frowned. If people from Gengjia Yun went to work as corpse collectors, why would they have anything to do with the whole village of Geng Jia Yun?
"Because we people in Gengjia Yun cannot go near the Yangtze River. This is the ancestral teaching." Grand uncle gave an answer that shocked Qin Yu.
Living by the Yangtze River but not close to the Yangtze River, isn't this a big joke? If that were the case, the villagers in Gengjia Yun would not have known about it.
"You are very strange, why there is such an ancestral precept, but the village of Gengjia Yun is still the same as the people in other villages. Even the villagers of Gengjia Yun do not know this ancestral precept. The reason is very simple, because I am the only one who knows this ancestral precept.
, this ancestral precept of Geng Jiayun was only passed down to the patriarch."
Uncle Tai is respected by the people in the village, not only because he has a high seniority in the village, but also because Uncle Tai is the patriarch of the Geng family and has been in this position for forty years. Some disputes in the village only need to be solved.
When he spoke, no one refused to listen.
"Eternal generations of the Geng family have to abide by an ancestral precept, which is that the Geng family villagers are not allowed to get close to the Yangtze River, but this ancestral precept cannot be known to the villagers."
"Why is there such an ancestral precept?" Qin Yu asked with a frown.
"Because our surname is Geng!"
"Geng?"
After hearing what his great-uncle said, Qin Yu fell into deep thought. He felt angry in one ear and in the other, but this had nothing to do with being unable to get close to the Yangtze River.
"Have you ever heard of river sacrifice?"
"Well, some people along the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers will hold river sacrificial ceremonies on certain days to pray for good weather." Qin Yu nodded and replied.
"Then if I tell you that hundreds of years ago, people here sacrificed humans instead of livestock to the river, how would you feel?"
"Use people?" Qin Yu's body trembled slightly. It's not uncommon for people to be used to sacrifice the river, but that kind of behavior is harmful to Tianhe and is a sorcery.
"Wait, what do you mean?" Qin Yu suddenly thought of something and looked at his great uncle, waiting for an answer.
"As you may have guessed, we, the Geng family, were sacrificed to the river back then." (To be continued)
