The years of reselling the haunted house

There are various indications that this stone statue is most likely newly carved by the stonemason in the village.

Meng Baolu was puzzled: "But... why did he re-carve this stone statue? What is the relationship between him and this stone statue...?"

I shook my head: "If you want to know the reason, then ask that mason... Isn't he in your village?"

Meng Baolu nodded: "Ah, that's right, go find that little stonemason. Then... what should we do here? I don't know where that big Zhuang went?"

I looked at the sky and said, "It's not completely dark yet, Da Zhuang estimates that the possibility of harming people is not high. But after dark, it's hard to say. So we have to find the stonemason before dark, and find out the reason." Make it clear, come back here and wait for Da Zhuang.”

Meng Baolu asked: "Master, do you mean that Da Zhuang will come back here?"

I nodded: "I have already felt that the Yin Qi here flows very frequently, and the Yin Qi comes out from under the stone slab, and it is gradually expanding. Da Zhuang will definitely not be able to stay in the sun if he becomes like that. After the well water on his body has evaporated, he can only rely on the Yin Qi here to protect his body. This is the source of Yin Qi, and the closer he is to the source, the more comfortable he will be. Now we are here, he He must not dare to come here. At night, if we observe secretly, we should be able to find his traces. During the period before dark, we must try our best to find out about the stonemason. I guess if he really carved this stone statue, Then he should be able to know something about the cave below."

Meng Baolu hurriedly said, "Okay, then I'll take you there right away. I never thought that leaving this little stonemason in the village would make such a mess for me..."

Not to mention Meng Baolu, Pang Dahai and I never expected that after arriving behind this ancestral hall, the matter of the stonemason would be brought up again.

Chapter 991

Anyway, my gut tells me that this is no easier than anything we've encountered before.If it is not done well, it will be much more complicated.If nothing else, let's just say it's the mysterious crypt under the stone slab. I don't have any plans for how to solve it in the end.

The 24-character mantra found in the village, the underground building on the blueprint, the mysterious mission of the ancestors of the Huang family, the Qianlong Tongbao of An Nanguo, and the Wang Qian of Qianlong Tongbao... These problems have yet to be explained and solved, like a The hemp ropes are mixed together and become a mess.I don't even know where to start.

With our previous method, so many clues came together that I simply couldn't find a thread that could connect them all.

For the first time, I felt that it was so hard to be alone.

In fact, after experiencing so many things, my impression of my third uncle has gradually changed completely.It seems that no matter how difficult the problem is before him, he can always find a solution.But I am different, extremely lack of countermeasures.For the predicament in front of us, we can only do it by seeing the trick and taking it one step at a time.Whether you can go to the end depends on your strength and your fortune.

Meng Baolu took me and the fat man, left the small ancestral hall, took a shortcut along a dirt road to the stonemason's residence.

On the way, Meng Baolu told me that the mason lived in an empty house in the village.The owner of the house, a family of three, died of poisoning a few months ago, and the house was vacant.

Hearing this, Pang Dahai questioned: "All three of them died? They died of poisoning, then this house is a haunted house."

Meng Baolu nodded: "Who says it's not? But there are no other houses in this village. I also asked the stonemason beforehand, and he said he didn't mind before moving in."

I smiled wryly and said, "Did you see that? If this stonemason is an ordinary person, how could he not mind that someone died in this house just now, and he died of poisoning. The deceased must have a lot of resentment. Ordinary people will definitely be jealous Yes. Old village chief, how did they get poisoned? Someone poisoned them, right?"

Meng Baolu waved his hands again and again: "Impossible, impossible, definitely not poisoning. Not to mention that the three members of this family are all responsible, and there will be no enemies. In addition, although our village is remote, the folk customs are very good, and the neighbors are also harmonious. When we get along, there will never be such a poisoning thing. Later, after testing, it was found that they died after eating poisonous mushrooms."

"Poisonous mushrooms? That shouldn't be the case either. You people here should be able to tell if mushrooms are poisonous or not." Pang Dahai said.

Meng Baolu sighed: "Who knows? Maybe it's fate. In short, they were poisoned to death, and they have no other relatives, so this house is idle. But when you talk about haunted houses, I think of something. Before the mason came in, some people in the village said that they saw their family of three standing at the gate at night, as if they were waiting for someone. Because of this, I didn’t believe in evil, so I took this knife and came to the house at night. I searched again afterward, but found nothing. No one mentioned this matter again.”

Pang Dahai laughed and said: "You are carrying the butcher's knife, they have no time to hide, how can you show up? According to this, this stonemason is indeed courageous enough. He should not be an ordinary person. Maybe we can really touch him if we look for him. So many clues."

Meng Baolu pointed to a house ahead and said, "Here we are, the one in front is the residence of the mason."

I looked over and saw that the house was not much different from other houses in the village, half new and not old.

Of course, what we care about is not the house, but the people in the house.

We walked quickly to the door of the house, which was also open.

Meng Baolu led us through the gate without saying hello, and came to the small courtyard.

As soon as he entered, the fat man pointed to a corner of the yard and said, "Look."

We looked in the direction of the fat man's finger.

Found in the corner of the yard, piled full of gravel.The amount of gravel is so large that it looks like a hill.

We hurried over to observe carefully. Meng Baolu grabbed a few stones, identified them, and said, "It should be right, they are the rocks from the mountain. It turns out that he did the statue. Why did he do that? Let me ask him." "

Speaking of which, Meng Baolu turned around and ran to the main room, without knocking on the door, he just pushed the door open, and he broke in first.

We were also afraid of accidents, so we quickly followed in.

The house is not big, and there are only two rooms in it. After searching, there is no one in it.It's just that there is a bed in one of the rooms, and it seems that the little mason lives in it.In the other room, a smooth stone slab was supported by a few wooden stools, and the stone slab had been carved with carving knives in a messy manner.

I looked at those roads and felt a little familiar, so I was about to take a closer look.

At this time, Meng Baolu walked from the house to the yard with the butcher's knife in hand.At the same time, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the gate.

My attention was also attracted, and I hurriedly brought Meng Baolu back to the room, hid behind the door, and looked at the door through the glass on the door.

In our line of sight, we saw a trolley appearing at the door, and the person pushing the trolley was a young man who looked less than 20 years old.This man was hunched over, his appearance was unattractive, and there were many pimples on his face, which made him look even a little ugly.

Pushing an empty cart, he appeared at the door. He didn't seem to notice us, but pushed straight towards the pile of rubble.

From the looks of it, he probably wanted to load the gravel into the car and push it away.

"Hello..." I didn't pay attention, and Meng Baolu next to me yelled, pushed open the door, and rushed out.

Apparently the person pushing the cart was the little mason who lived here.

As a result, Meng Baolu yelled and rushed out, but the stonemason reacted quickly, put down the car without saying a word, turned around and ran away.Meng Baolu got annoyed, brandished a butcher's knife, and chased after him.

"Damn it. This old Mengtou really can't hold his breath." I cursed angrily.We were afraid that Meng Baolu would have another accident, so we had no choice but to rush out of the door with the fat man, and chased the stonemason out with Meng Baolu.

The stonemason was running fast, and when we chased him out, we only saw his back running along a trail.

Meng Baolu was in a panic, chasing and shouting after him.

Pang Dahai ran up from behind and said, "Boss, it's not right. We broke into his house, why did he turn around and run away instead? There must be something wrong with this kid."

I replied angrily: "Nonsense, you still need to say it. Hurry up, you have to catch up with him."

Pang Dahai and I started to run harder in the back.

Chapter 992 Little Mason

Because the little stonemason reacted too quickly and his feet were good, when we chased him out of the courtyard, we found that he was already 100 meters away.

Meng Baolu cursed and yelled again and again, but his feet felt as if they were stuck with glue, and he couldn't run no matter how hard he tried, seeing that he was being pulled further and further away by the stonemason.

Pang Dahai and I quickly overtook Meng Baolu.Hearing that Meng Baolu was wheezing like something after running a few steps.It seems that he stopped slaughtering cattle, and his body is much weaker.

I stared at the figure of the mason in front of me, and after a few steps after chasing, my confidence increased greatly, and I felt that it would not be a problem to catch up with the mason.

The reason is that the internal strength I have practiced has a good feedback in the body at this time.

Not only is his footsteps extremely light, but his body seems to have endless energy.A gust of air flowed out from the dantian, quickly covering the whole body.It's like an energy station there, which can continuously output to the body a kind of energy that was not in the body before.

I don't know if this is the same as athletes taking doping, because I feel that it is to stimulate the hidden energy in the body.

At the same time, I also noticed that Pang Haihai next to me also had solid footsteps, light and powerful, and with such a huge body, he ran with no effort or clumsiness, and his speed was extremely fast.

The two of us arrived first, and quickly shortened the distance with the little mason in front.

The little mason may have been extremely confident in his speed at the beginning, and after he ran for a while, he didn't look back.

It wasn't until a small forest appeared in front of him that he glanced back.

He suddenly found that Pang Dahai and I were chasing after us at an extremely fast speed, and when the distance was already very close, he was shocked.

The stonemason tried to rush into the woods again, but with too much force, his feet slipped, his body staggered, and he almost fell.

Pang Haihai pounced on a tiger, rushed over, and roughly pressed directly on the mason's body.

This pressure made the mason's face flushed, he couldn't catch his breath, and rolled his eyes.

"Damn it. You crushed him to death." I rushed over and pulled Pang Haihai from the stonemason.

The stonemason let out a breath and began to cough violently, and it took him a long time to recover.He didn't get up, but sat on the ground and stared at us, full of hostility.

At this moment, Meng Baolu also chased after him. His face was red and his ears were red, and he was panting even more.After chasing here, he pointed to the mason on the ground, but he couldn't say a word.

I patted Meng Baolu on the back: "Don't worry, he won't be able to run away, so take your time."

Pang Dahai squatted next to the mason and stared at him. Meng Baolu finally recovered his strength. He looked at me and Pang Dahai, gave a thumbs up and said, "I've lived for decades, and today is the only time I've met him." It’s a master. You two, this speed-up, you can’t breathe, you are really a master, I’m convinced, I’m convinced..."

I smiled wryly in my heart, no wonder there are so many people who are willing to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the Taoism to cultivate the power of the Taoism.In this Xuanmen, there is both the pain of penance and the joy of accomplishment.

The two of us just cultivated the internal strength of the entry, and the heat has just started to improve, so we can make such a change, which is impressive.In fact, we have really experienced the benefits brought to us by practicing inner strength. This benefit is subtle and gradually increases over time.

At this time, I really want to thank Chu Liuyan. If he hadn't forced us to practice, I'm afraid we wouldn't have such a small achievement.

The little mason was still staring at us vigilantly, with his hands clenched into fists, fully alert.

Meng Baolu finally came to his senses. He pointed to the stonemason and said, "You, you, what's the matter with you? You were asked to build the bridge, but who asked you to carve the stone statue? Besides... did you do something bad? ... Otherwise, why are you running?"

The little stonemason also turned over and got up from the ground. First, he looked at me and Pang Dahai again, and said to Meng Baolu with disdain: "Who are you, are you in charge?"

"Who am I? I'm the old village head of this village. I arranged your residence. You forgot it so soon?" Meng Baolu said angrily at the little mason for forgetting him, bearded and staring.

The stonemason waved his hand: "I don't care what village head you are, I didn't invite me here, but the town invited me. You should arrange a place for me. I don't bother to tell you, I will give it to you." I hide, I want to go back to work."

Unexpectedly, after such a short period of time, the stonemason became hardened, and his mouth was dirty.

He pushed Meng Baolu away and wanted to go back. Before he left, he turned his head and pointed at Pang Haihai and said, "You fat man, you just pushed me down, and I don't care about you. Don't follow me anymore." , and don’t touch me again, if you do it again, don’t say I’ll call the police and arrest you.”

As he said that, the little mason glared at us, turned around and walked down the road he came in swaggeringly.It seemed that he was going back to the house where he lived.

"Hey... Do what you can... I don't believe in evil..." Pang Dahai was scolded for a while, but he was naturally angry, and he couldn't understand the mason's arrogant appearance, so he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward Beat that mason.

I reached out to stop him, motioning him not to make a move.

Now the situation became more complicated, and a little mason appeared out of nowhere.If the stone statue was really carved by this little stonemason, first of all, his stone carving skills can be said to be outstanding, and his original intention of carving the stone statue is worthy of in-depth scrutiny.

Anyway, he can't escape now, so we decided to go back with him first, and then see what to do next.

In this way, the three of us followed the little mason and walked back to the house again.

The little mason looked back several times, and we didn't shy away from it, and followed him swaggeringly.The little mason was so angry that there was nothing he could do, until when we followed the mason to the gate, we were about to follow him into the yard.At this time, he was stopped by the little mason, and he said to Meng Baolu: "I'm sorry, although this is the house in your village. But now I have the right to use it, and I have the right to prevent you from entering. If you insist on entering, I will really I will sue you for breaking into a private house."

The fat man rushed up and scolded: "Who are you? You can sue us if you want to. If you have a problem, you can sue. I think you deserve a beating. I don't believe it anymore, so I want to go in."

Without saying a word, the little mason turned around and went to a corner of the yard.When he came back again, he held a hammer and a drill in his hand, and said viciously, "Come in and try?"

Those two things were obviously the tools he used to carve stones, and it was a bit desperate to take them over at this time.

The little mason is young, and this will be aggressive.

Chapter 993

Of course, Pang Dahai couldn't really fight him anymore, so the little mason really blocked us from the door.

"Boom." Taking advantage of our hesitation, the little stonemason closed the door and entered the room by himself with the tools.

"Boss, this little bastard is too badass, isn't he? If you don't stop me, I'll beat him up." Fat Dahai cursed.Obviously we were scolded by a little kid, and seeing that the little mason was such a dick, we were a little bit embarrassed.

I smiled and said: "Fatty, you also said that he is a poor boy, so why do you care about him? I think he is deliberately angry with us."

Meng Baolu said: "Master, it's getting dark now. Over there at the small ancestral hall..."

I scratched my scalp, a little embarrassed.

I thought that after I figured out the matter of the stonemason, I could go back to the small ancestral hall before dark.

Because that is likely to be the place where Da Zhuang reappeared.We have to catch Da Zhuang today, otherwise if he regains his strength at night, he may go to the village again to harm others, and the villagers may really suffer.

But if we get there, we are afraid that the mason will run away.Now there are many things we need to know about him. If he leaves, we will not know who to ask for the remaining difficult questions.

Now I regret letting Liang Yue and Ma Di go. If they were there, our manpower could be arranged.

Fat Dahai saw that I was a little embarrassed, and volunteered to say: "Boss, how about it. You watch the little mason here, and I'll go to the small ancestral hall to catch Da Zhuang."

I thought for a while and shook my head: "The little stonemason is an individual after all, but Da Zhuang's situation over there is very complicated, and there may be other dangers. You and the old village chief should stay here, and I'll go to the little mason." Shrine."

But Pang Dahai waved his hand and said: "Boss, I know it's dangerous over there, but this time you give me a chance. In the past, you and the uncle charged forward, and I didn't help much by following you. This time the two of us are alone, I also want to show Master and Uncle that I have made progress. Don’t worry, I know it well. That big man should be infected with corpse gas after death, just like ordinary zombies I should be able to deal with it with two corpse-suppressing charms."

Pang Dahai has a firm attitude and is full of confidence.

I had no choice but to agree and told Pang Dahai to be careful.If it really doesn't work, don't hold on, just keep an eye on Da Zhuang's whereabouts.I'm trying to go over to meet him as soon as possible.

Fat Dahai nodded, and said you should be careful, and after he finished speaking, he took his own equipment and trotted all the way to the direction of the small ancestral hall.

There were fewer and fewer people. After the fat man left, only Meng Baolu was left by my side.

Seeing Pang Dahai go away, Meng Baolu asked, "Master, how do you plan to deal with this little mason here?"

I squatted at the door and said, "Everyone in your village must drink the water from that ancient well. What kind of water does this little mason drink?"

Meng Baolu said: "Of course he is no exception. I even sent someone to fetch water for him here."

I nodded: "Except for your special situation, all the people in the village were infected with corpse poison. The fact that this little stonemason survived the disaster shows that he must have some skills. Now let me ask you, this house , besides the front door, is there any door at the back?"

Meng Baolu replied: "Yes, there are. However, since the house was rumored to be haunted, I sent people to seal the front and rear doors and windows with nails. The front door was only opened after the little mason came. .The back door and windows are dead now."

I climbed to the top of the wall and took a look inside.Sure enough, the window was tightly closed, and only a little candle light came through the window.
