The years of reselling the haunted house

Fat Dahai interjected, "I understand what Uncle Shi means. Does it mean that bird droppings have to be dropped in the air by birds that are flying in the sea, and that bird droppings are good when they are collected?"

The third uncle nodded: "That's right. You see, fat people have high understanding. That's the thing."

"Third Uncle, don't you just talk about it? Is there anyone who has nothing to do and stays in the sea, holding a basin, waiting for the birds in the sky to shit?"

"Nephew, you are a brainless person. If this thing is easy to get, can it show its preciousness? There will always be boats on the sea, right? When sailing, there will always be bird droppings on the boat? As long as it doesn't contaminate more Impurities are the top grade. If you are lucky enough to get bird droppings on your body or face, it is even more precious. Remember, nephew, next time you travel by boat and bird droppings fall on you, you must remember to give The third uncle brought it back. The third uncle bought it at a high price."

The third uncle's half-joking and half-serious words made me dumbfounded.

But I also know that what the third uncle said about the guano is probably true.

I pointed to the guano in the base of the flagpole and said, "Third Uncle, let's not be poor, let's talk about business. What does it mean to fill it with guano?"

The third uncle kept smiling, and then he said seriously: "I guess it has something to do with the rise and fall of the fertilizer factory. Maybe the closure of the fertilizer factory is directly related to this. The flagpole should have been filled with seabirds beforehand." dung, and then set up the flagpole, no one will find out. The guano is hidden in the flagpole, just like three incense sticks standing in front of the door. In addition, the flagpole and the main entrance of the chemical fertilizer factory behind it face south and face north. In the theory of the five elements and directions, Bingding in the south can make a fire. The fire burns incense, and the original intention is to make this fertilizer factory flourish, but with the addition of guano, the nature is different..."

"That's because someone bribed the craftsman in advance, tampered with the flagpole, and wanted to bring down the fertilizer factory? Who would be so vicious and use such indecent methods?"

The third uncle shook his head: "Now this matter is out of the question. Maybe someone wants to murder the director of this factory. Shooting the first bird, this kind of victory-hating technique, no matter what method is used, the final In the end, there will definitely be someone who will bear it. If there is no special direction, a normal house will fall on the head of the household. If it is a factory, it will naturally fall on the head of the factory manager.”

Chapter 482 Lumen

"No, third uncle, if there is a special point? Will it point to other people? Could this aversion to victory be aimed at Pete Yang?" I asked.

The third uncle frowned and was about to answer, when suddenly a voice came from the direction of the factory gate: "You guessed it right, this victory-hating technique is indeed aimed at Pete Yang."

"Ah?" The three of us focused all our attention on the stone seat, the sudden sound startled us all, and we looked back at the same time.

In fact, I could tell from the voice that it was Lao Bai.

Looking back, it really was the fat white man, holding the umbrella with one side black and the other red, standing alone at the gate of the factory.

It was useless for us to look for him, and he came out of the old house by himself.

I also understand that his soul-covering umbrella can only be used at night.During the day, he must hide in a safe place.For example, the mental hospital, such as the old house of Yang Pitt, or the closed metal box that cannot be accessed, that is, the trunk of a car.

Lao Bai didn't wear his black robe this time, so the exposed skin of his body reflected fluorescent light, making it almost translucent.Even through his face, we can see the veins of blood vessels and muscles inside.

Although the body structure of each of us is like this, seeing the internal structure still makes people look extremely uncomfortable, even a little disgusting.

I wasn't too surprised to see Lao Bai come out.What surprised me was that he actually knew about the technique of aversion to victory on the flagpole. It seemed that he was an insider.

The third uncle seemed to have a plan in mind. When he saw Lao Bai, he pointed to the stone seat and said, "Mr. Bai, sit down and let's talk?"

Lao Bai held the umbrella and walked slowly to the front of the stone seat, and sat on it with one leg.He looked at the remnants of guano dug out by the third uncle, and said with a smile, "Sir, you have good eyesight, so you can tell it's guano."

The third uncle waved his hand: "It's not uncommon to see guano, and it's nothing to brag about. I just want to know, Mr. Bai, did you do this technique?"

Fatty Bai didn't hesitate at all about the third uncle's question. He nodded and admitted: "It seems that you can't hide anything from sir, so I don't need to hide it. That's right, what you said is indeed true. I did it."

"You did it?" I was taken aback: "Aren't you Yang Pete's assistant? You went abroad together and returned together, why did you kill him?"

Before Lao Bai could answer, the third uncle made a sudden move, grabbed the umbrella in Yang Pitt's hand, pulled it hard, and tore the soul-covering umbrella away.

Lao Bai was completely exposed to the moonlight.

No, I know that the reason why Lao Bai has been hiding in Xiaolingzi Hospital, and he has to use a soul-covering umbrella when he leaves the hospital, is because he is worried that he will be murdered by the underworld.Didn't the third uncle expose Lao Bai?We still have a lot to ask from Lao Bai.If he died, many clues would be interrupted again.

Unexpectedly, Lao Bai didn't care about this, but looked at us with a smile on his face.

The third uncle glanced at Pang Dahai and me, and said, "Have you seen that? This guy has been lying to us all along. He has already escaped from Yin Division's pursuit."

Lao Bai stared at Third Uncle and asked, "Sir, you do have extraordinary eyesight, but I want to know, how did you discover my secret? When I came out of the hospital, I didn't think I had any flaws."

The third uncle sneered, patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's too easy to discover your secret. My eldest nephew has only been learning runes for a long time, and others don't know about his skills, but I don't know yet." The few broken talismans he drew had no talisman power at all. But I heard from my eldest nephew that you didn’t care whether the talismans had power or not. This shows that you used this as a cover at all. You are no longer bound by the underworld, and the reason why you still pretend you can’t leave the hospital is to let the director relax his vigilance, and you can study some of your own things in the hospital. Am I right?”

Lao Bai nodded: "Mr. can see the clues from the details, which is really admirable."

I was taken aback, and quickly said: "No, Uncle San. I remember when I was in the hospital, I was caught by the eyes of the dean Chen Yuting. At that time, Lao Bai held my talisman and rescued me. How do you Are you saying that my talisman has no talisman power?"

The third uncle took a look at Lao Bai and said: "This is where he is brilliant. When he saved you, he still used your talisman as a cover, and what really worked was his own way. If it's wrong, Mr. Bai should be a teacher from Lumen, and his skill of disgusting victory is superb. But why do you want to hide your identity?"

Lao Bai smiled: "Since Mr. has made his words so clear, I don't need to hide any more. I am indeed from Lumen, and I know that your target is the old house of Yang Pitt. I don't care about that house. Strange, I know everything inside. I can help you solve that house, and tell you some of the secrets in that house. Because that house was designed by me and Pete Yang."

The third uncle asked: "Then...Mr. Bai's condition is..."

Lao Bai said: "My condition is very simple, you can help me get something."

"what?"

"The bridge spirit that flows on the bridge."

"Liu Yuqiao? That stone bridge at the gate?" Third Uncle was stunned and asked.

Lao Bai nodded: "That's right. As long as you find the things for me, I will tell you all the secrets in this house. How about it? Is this deal a good deal?"

The third uncle shook his head: "I don't think it's worthwhile. Although I am a shallow Taoist, I also know what Qiao Lingyi said. With Mr. Bai's ability, I dare not try it easily, let alone us. The old house and the secrets of the old house are of course It's important, but compared with life, I can still figure out which is more important."

Lao Bai smiled again: "That's good. Then I'll add some weight to you. You have seen the inscriptions, but you know that there is a secret hidden in the inscriptions. If I tell you this secret, I don't believe you won't be interested." .”

"What secret?"

"Sir, you are joking. Since it is a secret, how can you say it easily. But I can give you a hint..." After speaking, Lao Bai stretched out his hand: "Borrow the incense ash."

Third Uncle took out a bottle from his body and handed it to Lao Bai.

Lao Bai nodded, pulled out the cork, and put the mouth of the bottle close to the stone seat.

Our flashlights shone on the smooth stone seat, and Lao Bai used the incense ash poured out of the bottle to quickly write two words on the stone seat.

Because the night wind was strong, the word was blown away by the wind as soon as it appeared.

Chapter 483 Bridge Spirit

Although the time for the handwriting to appear was very short, because we all concentrated our energy to see it, we still saw the handwriting in our eyes.

It is estimated that Lao Bai also used this method to convey information to us. Since this information came from obscene texts, he did not dare to say it directly, even if he wrote it out.

We have all seen that the two characters are: Five Emperors.

The third uncle opened his mouth to say something, but Lao Bai signaled the third uncle not to say it.

The third uncle nodded and glanced at me.The word five emperors is not difficult to understand, but I don't know if the five emperors have anything to do with the five emperors' money in our hands and the five emperors ritual Buddha lamp.

However, according to the situation, it is impossible for Lao Bai to disclose any more news.But for us, the word Five Emperors is enough to attract us.

The third uncle has always said that once the five emperors' money is gathered, the five emperors' Buddha lamp will definitely unlock a secret.And what is this secret is exactly what many people are chasing now.

Unexpectedly, here today, Lao Bai revealed a little information to us.Regarding this, third uncle will definitely not let it go easily.

The third uncle thought for a while, nodded heavily, and said to Lao Bai: "Mr. Bai, I promise you to help you get Qiaoling. But I hope you can keep your word, and when the time comes, tell the secret of Yin Wen, and the old man's house. Tell us the secret of the house. And... this..."

As he spoke, Third Uncle tapped the stone seat heavily with his fingers.Obviously he was referring to the word five emperors just above.

"Of course. We are all practitioners. Although we have different beliefs, our spiritual sense is above all. We shouldn't lie."

Uncle San nodded and turned to greet us: "Let's go back to the hotel first."

Pang Dahai hadn't recovered yet, and asked, "Master, this... is it going back now? Have we gone in yet?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "I won't go. The old house is guarded by Mr. Bai, so it will be fine."

With that said, we got into the car, and Pang Dahai turned the car around and left the fertilizer plant.

I looked back through the car window and found that Lao Bai was still standing in the distance.His pale figure looked extraordinarily precarious.The moonlight shone on his body, casting a white halo on his body.

"What a weirdo..." I said to myself.

Uncle San sneered, "He's not just a weirdo, he's also an expert."

In the long conversation between Uncle San and Lao Bai just now, I actually still didn’t understand a lot, so I hurriedly asked: “Uncle San, what is the bridge spirit that you and Lao Bai are talking about? Besides, Lao Bai Why do you want to get this bridge spirit?"

"Yes, Master. He hasn't told us why he killed that Yang Pete..."

The third uncle said: "His motive for killing Yang Pete is very simple. Because only by doing so can he protect himself. At that time, both he and Yang Pete could recognize the inscriptions, so they fled abroad. After returning to China, they hid in two different places. It was during this time that Lao Bai figured out that if he kept hiding like this, he would never see the light and live in hiding forever. To get rid of this kind of life, the only way is Let Yang Pitt die. Because the inscription was researched by Yang Pitt and taught to himself, so as long as Yang Pitt dies, he should be able to save his life. So he took advantage of the opportunity when the fertilizer factory erected a flagpole at that time, bribed the craftsmen, There was guano in it, so I guess it must have been mixed with Yang Pitt's blood. The two of them are very close, so it should be easy to get some Yang Pitt's blood. Yang Pitt will not have any suspicions."

I nodded: "So, Pete Yang didn't die violently at home, but died of this kind of victory-hating technique?"

The third uncle shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. The ancient painting in the old house is not a mortal thing. Yang Pitt's death may also be related to the ancient painting. So how he died, I can't determine now. But the old man The black-sickness victory set by Bai must have contributed to Yang Pete's death. After Yang Pete's death, the reason why Lao Bai is still hiding in the mental hospital is that he is still not sure whether he has been completely freed from the underworld. Hunting, on the other hand, I want to continue hiding in the mental hospital to study my own affairs."

"My business? What is it?"

The third uncle said: "It may be a certain kind of spell, or it may be a certain kind of medicine. Only he knows this best, but we don't need to get entangled in this matter right now. The most urgent thing is to reach the deal with Lao Bai. We Help him get the bridge spirit, and exchange for the secret of the Yin Wen and the secret of the old house. If we get the secret of the old house, it will be much easier to solve the murderous situation of the old house. In fact, compared with the old house , I pay more attention to the words he wrote on the stone pedestal. I am sure that it is the secret of the five emperors' ceremony of the Buddha lamp. I didn't expect this secret to be known to the world, but it was hidden in the inscription."

I understand what Uncle San said.But he mentioned Qiao Ling again, neither Pang Dahai nor I had heard of such a thing.

I asked: "Uncle San, I know that everything has a spirit. But something like a bridge is just a dead thing made of bricks and stones. How can it have a spirit? If it has a spirit, then Don’t the tall buildings around us all have spirits?”

Pang Dahai, who was driving in front, also nodded.He must have had the same question as me.

The third uncle was eager to have the opportunity to show off his knowledge. When I asked, he cleared his throat and explained to me: "Nephew, you only know one thing and don't know the other. The so-called everything has a spirit, right? False. It’s just that some things have their own souls, such as various creatures in the world. Other things are forcibly endowed with souls, such as the paper figurines in the hands of paper makers, and various creatures cultivated with blood. There are also some old objects and antiques. When they were first formed, they did not have souls. But as the times change, such old objects will also breed a soul. The so-called old objects There is a spirit, that's the reason. So we can't be disrespectful to those old antiques and old objects..."

The third uncle made gestures and talked for a long time while spitting.

I asked back, "Which type does the bridge spirit belong to?"

The third uncle waved his hand: "It doesn't belong to either."

I was taken aback: "Third Uncle, can you stop making trouble? I was asking about Qiao Ling. You talked about it for a long time, but you told me that it was neither?"

The third uncle blinked his eyes, and said impatiently: "Don't be in a hurry. You keep asking questions before I finish. Just listen to me... This bridge spirit is a special kind. Let me ask you, are all bridges built on water?"

"Nonsense, is it still called a bridge without water?"

The third uncle ignored my attitude and continued: "Yes. There is water under the bridge, and bridges grow on the water. Since ancient times, water has been an indispensable thing for human survival, but water is one of the most difficult disasters for human beings. Take our country as an example, how to manage the Yangtze River and the Yellow River has always been one of the enduring topics..."

Chapter 484

"Didn't you mean the bridge? Why did it get to the water?" Pang Dahai asked while driving.

"Drive your car well." The third uncle said angrily, "I'm not going to talk about the bridge right away. Since ancient times, those who can control the water are those who are capable. Just like the ancient Yu... Do you know what Dayu used to control the water?"

I replied: "I know something about this. The school curriculum has also mentioned it. It is nothing more than opening ditches to drain water and dredging river channels. And this method is also very effective."

The third uncle nodded and praised: "My eldest nephew is still very knowledgeable. That's right, opening ditches and dredging rivers is indeed Dayu's main strategy for water control. But among them, Dayu also used many methods that cannot be understood by outsiders. These The method was compiled into a book by Dayu's descendants and spread among the people. This book has no name, and the descendants named it "Nongshui Jing" according to the content in it. What is introduced in it can be It is not the general method of opening ditches to drain water, dredging river channels, etc., but records some water control methods of other sects. Among them are related methods of water control by building bridges. It is said in the Sutra of Nongshui that the sky and the earth generate water, and water also has troubles. When there is chaos, the chaos is caused by evil spirits and evil spirits... King Yu built a bridge to suppress evil spirits, and enshrined cockroaches on the bridge, and cockroaches used the nature of dragons to frighten river monsters. ..."

I listened to Uncle San's narration, and it's not difficult to understand what he said.In fact, the so-called method that cannot be treated by outsiders is not complicated. It is nothing more than building bridges to control floods.It is said that the reason for the flood is that there are spirits and evil spirits in the water. Using an animal called an earthworm can calm the evil spirits and calm the flood.

And this kind of animal called earthworm, I also know something about it.The reason is that Ma Su said that the stray dog ​​I picked up was the incarnation of a kind of mythical beast, and that kind of mythical beast is also one of the nine sons of the dragon.For this reason, I was very interested. After I went back, I specifically checked the so-called Nine Sons of the Dragon.

In addition to mocking the wind, one of the other eight sons is the earthworm.

The cricket is good at water, also known as the water-avoiding beast. Its head is a bit like a dragon, but it is flatter than the dragon's head, and there are a pair of horns on the top of the head.There are dragon scales on the body, four legs and tail.According to legend, a long time ago, the ancestors of the earthworm were demoted to the earth for violating the rules of heaven, and were pressed under a huge and heavy turtle shell to guard the canal for 1000 years.Thousands of years later, the ancestors of the water-avoiding beasts finally got free and got out of the turtle shell.In order to commemorate and commend his family's meritorious service in guarding the river, people carved stone statues according to their appearance and placed them on the stone pier by the river, saying that this would calm the river and prevent floods.It means peace in all directions.Wormwood is very watery, so it can be placed on the bridgehead or on the bridge body when repairing bridges.It has a big mouth and can hold a lot of water in its stomach, so it is mostly used as a drain for buildings.There are also legends that it can swallow rivers and spit rain, and is responsible for draining rainwater.It is often seen in ancient Chinese classic palace complexes such as the Forbidden City and the Temple of Heaven.It likes to play in the water, and has been playing in the river for many years. It is also known as the sail pendant. It is good at water and likes to eat water monsters. It is said that it is the favorite son of the Dragon King.

I am deeply impressed by this very mythical description.So as soon as the third uncle mentioned it today, I remembered it.

I told my understanding of the cockroach, and the third uncle praised it greatly, saying that he only knew that the cockroach can suppress water, but he didn't know that there were such allusions in it.

However, the third uncle said: "there are many water control strategies recorded in the water management scriptures, and this is only the most basic method among them. I have never seen other methods. But I know they always think that there is water in the water. In order to subdue the flood, we must find a way to calm the water spirit. One of the ways to calm the water spirit is to build a bridge. There are more ways to build a bridge. The timing and orientation of the bridge piers are considered in the whole article. If the bridge can stand, it needs the test of time. The ten-year-old bridge is a small test, and the century-old bridge is a big test. Only a bridge that has stood for more than a hundred years can be regarded as standing. The bridge spirit. The bridge spirit of the century-old bridge must be on top of the cricket."

"Third Uncle, that Liuyu Bridge has a history of a hundred years?" I asked.

Uncle San shook his head: "I don't know about this either. I need to check the information tomorrow. If the Liuyu Bridge is an ancient bridge, there must be a bridge spirit on it. Because the river flowing under the bridge flows from west to east. Although the current flow is very small, judging from the width of the bridge deck, it must have been a big river in history. Creatures that drowned in the river had to pass through the bridge to float down. Even in the past years, drowned people There are not a few cases. After these people and animals drown, their souls will not leave, and they will be absorbed by the bridge spirit when they pass through Liuyu Bridge. So this bridge spirit will be very powerful after a hundred years."

I nodded: "So, that Lao Bai was not sure about getting the bridge spirit, so he reached a deal with us. But the question is, do we have this ability? What is this bridge spirit? Is it a soul, a soul? Or some kind of Spiritual body?"

The third uncle leaned his body on the back seat, closed his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "The soul is not the soul, the soul is not the soul, it is the soul or the soul, it is impossible to figure it out. Let's talk about it after I check the information tomorrow... ..."

Seeing how my third uncle pretended to be mysterious, I couldn't ask any more questions.

After the three of us returned to the hotel, we rested separately.Because the matter has not been resolved yet, my heart is also in chaos.

When I woke up the next day, I found that Uncle San had left the hotel.It is estimated that he went to check the information on the Liuyu bridge.

We thought we could relax in the hotel for a day, but Unexpectedly, before leaving, the third uncle left us a task and asked the waiter to inform us to buy chicken.

I thought to myself, isn't it the back kitchen's job to buy chicken?What kind of chicken shall we buy?

After an explanation, I realized that Uncle San didn't ask us to go to the market to buy that kind of broiler chicken, but sent us to the surrounding farmers to buy that kind of live chicken.And it's still the kind of rooster that grows naturally, the fresher and more vigorous the better.

I don't know what the third uncle is doing with this chicken, but I didn't dare to neglect, so I quickly found the fat man and drove to the surrounding villages and towns.

There are many villages and towns around, but because it is adjacent to the urban area, it is really hard to find a chicken that raises this kind of chicken.We had to drive further afield.Finally, before dark, I got six big cocks at a high price.

All six chickens were locked in the trunk, making the whole car smell of chicken droppings.

We complained while driving, and the smell of chicken feces in the car might not go away for a long time.

After returning to the hotel, the third uncle had already returned.I thought he was going to Liuyuqiao overnight, but who knew that when he saw us back, he told us to sleep first, and we will talk about Liuyuqiao tomorrow.
