Where are the monsters?

Mu Feng rarely came to the ancestral house, not only because Mu Jianguo didn't go often, even when his grandmother was alive, he rarely let him come here.

Mufeng’s grandfather passed away before Mufeng was born. Anyway, as far as Mufeng can remember, grandma and their family lived in the house built later, and rarely stepped into the ancestral house except for a few times a year to worship the ancestors. , Even adults will prevent children from participating in the sacrificial ceremony to prevent the wooden seal from stepping into it.To say that I really stepped into this place, it is also the main hall of the ancestral house that Mu Feng has visited several times a year since my grandmother passed away. It is a place dedicated to memorial tablets.

When he was a child, Mu Feng was not a very curious boy. His personality was slightly withdrawn. He seldom climbed trees and fished with his friends, and he was not like a child in the mountains running around. He always played until the sun went down before going home. .It seems that there is a string in Mufeng's mind, don't wander around, otherwise bad things will happen.

Mu Feng held the kerosene lamp in one hand, and opened the door of the ancestral house with the other. Because he seldom set foot here, there was no electrical circuit installed here.The lighting range of the kerosene lamp is not wide, and the main hall is so dark that it is impossible to see clearly.Mu Feng stepped into the darkness with a lunch box in his hand, and after he put the kerosene lamp on the incense table, he vaguely saw the tablets behind, and there were quite a few of them.

It is said that the Mu family was a big family before the Anti-Japanese War, but many people died in the war. No one told Mu Feng about the history of the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War. Why bother to say so much.

Mu Feng arranged the candles, incense, food, etc. that he had brought. Mu Jianguo was very careful about these things, and had prepared them in advance, and all he had to do was follow the steps.

Mu Feng lit the joss sticks, asked for three fresh incense sticks and lit the candles. He didn't say anything about his ancestors' blessings, but said with a half-smile, "You say, is it my sorrow that you Mu Jianguo is my father, or you? Should I scold my unworthy descendants?"

Before Mu Feng could finish speaking, the candle flame on the incense table was blown out by a gust of wind from behind.The fragrance on Mu Feng's hands suddenly exuded a very strange fragrance, which went straight towards Mu Feng's nostrils.

"Moo—" There was a sudden cow cry outside the house, and the door was creaked by the dark wind. At this time, I could hear the sound of rustling paper talismans, and I saw some kind of curses on the four corners of the main hall. Talisman of Talisman.At this time, the cinnabar on the yellow paper twisted into a strange angle, as if it was alive, as if it wanted to help the evildoer to force the evil wind into Mu Feng's body.

It is impossible for Mu Feng to sit still, he threw away the fragrance in his hand, and did not give the strange fragrance a chance to get into his nostrils. If it is said that the movement of human hands is faster than the speed of air flow, people who have never seen it are If you don't believe it, at this moment, Mu Feng's right hand created a barrier out of thin air to block the incoming fragrant wind.

With a jerk, he drew four images empty-handed towards the four corners of the main hall, and a burst of golden light burst out. The golden images were like arrows off the string and shot at the talisman papers in the four corners. The golden light collided with the distorted cinnabar, swallowing the cinnabar at once, eating up the distorted bright red.

There was another call of the cow outside the door, this time it was more fierce, "Moo-moo--", the sound was very urgent, and kept barking, Mu Feng felt that the next second the cow would break through the door and leave. enter.

But Mu Feng cut off this possibility. He stamped out the fragrance on the ground with one foot, and then drew a picture of stars out of thin air. He used this picture to purify the souls of dead soldiers. Now that the picture came out, the main hall There was no longer the strange fragrance just now, only the biting cold wind remained, blowing away the pinch of incense ash on the ground.

As the pinch of incense ash was blown away, the bleating of the cow at the outer door was reluctantly interrupted.That's all.

The wooden seal lit the kerosene lamp again, and he did not leave in a hurry, but carefully looked around, not only the talisman papers were arranged in the corner, but also a few talisman papers on the beams, and even a few inconspicuous ones on the ground. There are pre-drawn formation diagrams everywhere, but they were damaged in the impact just now.

It seemed that Mu Jianguo had carefully prepared all this for him, and specially asked him to bring a kerosene lamp with no lighting effect at all at night, just to let him step into this well-arranged cage.

It's a pity that Mu Jianguo broke his head and never imagined that Mu Feng was no longer that good son who was bullied.The wooden seal put away the scattered yellow paper in the corner, and he even drew these broken formation diagrams in his notebook.There are many schools of magic. Most people have heard of Buddhism and Taoism, which can be subdivided, such as Tantra and Zen, and Taoism has many branches.

Based on Mu Feng's understanding of Mu Jianguo, what he did today was by no means his own ability, but someone behind his back pointing him out, so he doesn't know which family he belongs to.

Mu Feng could only roughly judge that this person came from a Taoist sect, and this formation was clearly used to harm people. It didn't work on Mu Feng because he was prepared with both heart and strength, but if it were put on an ordinary person , must have been recruited by now.No matter what kind of illness Mu Jianguo suffered from, the person who used this method to resolve it and taught him the method was also a person with evil intentions.

Mu Jianguo at the other end of the village was very nervous. The Taoist said that as long as he arranged it like this and let Mu Feng light incense, he would not have to worry about the rest of the matter. His illness would be transferred to Mu Feng immediately. The cow demon will not come to trouble them, but will focus on the wooden seal with all its strength.

Mu Jianguo watched the clock pass by every minute and every second, and his stepmother was waiting and anxious, "It's been two hours, and the Taoist said that it can be done in 10 minutes. It only takes about [-] minutes to walk from here. , plus it takes more than half an hour to work, why is there still no movement?"

"Did you really see him enter the door?" Mu Jianguo didn't understand, if Mu Feng had already become a scapegoat, then the yin energy in his body should have dissipated, why there is no good trend at all.

The stepmother delivered Mu Feng to the ancestral house in person, and she excused that it was inconvenient for Mu Feng to hold a kerosene lamp in one hand and a lunch box and incense in the other. "Of course I saw him go in with my own eyes and see him close the door. Do you think the Taoist priest is not capable enough?"

"Impossible. He cured Zhiqiang's disease. He can transfer Zhiqiang's disease to me. There is no reason why I can't transfer it to Mu Feng. As long as he is from the Mu family, he can't escape."

Mu Jianguo didn't believe that Taoist priests couldn't do this at all, because the first time he succeeded, how could he fail the second time.

"Don't forget that the Taoist priest saved Zhiqiang's life half a month ago. His words are not wrong, but the effect may be slower now."

The stepmother also remembered the danger half a month ago. They didn't know how Mu Zhiqiang suddenly fell ill and fell into a coma.After being sent to the hospital, the result of the examination was unexplained physical failure, and Mu Zhiqiang could not live for a few days.

It's useless for the stepmother to make trouble, and such a strange disease doctor has never heard of it. Later, the dead horse was treated as a living horse doctor, and they met a Taoist priest.Only then did I realize that Mu Zhiqiang had messed with dirty things, which Taoists couldn't get rid of, but if someone was willing to die instead of Mu Zhiqiang, he could still transfer the Gu Yin Qi to the other party.

This person can only be a relative of Mu Zhiqiang's blood, he can't give five clothes, and he has to be a man.

At that time, there was only one day left, so there was no time to find such a scapegoat. Mu Jianguo really loved the child Mu Zhi, so he didn't think much about it and went to bed himself.

That night, as soon as the Taoist practiced the practice, Mu Zhiqiang recovered from his illness, and Mu Jianguo collapsed.When Mu Jianguo wanted to die for Mu Zhiqiang, he didn't hesitate too much, but when the Yin Qi really came to him, he felt the fear of dying.He naturally didn't want to die, so he asked the priest if he could transfer his disease to another person.

There are no more than three things, you can do it once or twice, but you can't do it a third time.In other words, Mu Zhiqiang's illness could have been transferred to relatives of Mu's family or stepmother's family, but because of time constraints, Mu Jianguo had to take it himself. Among his relatives, there are no men in Wufu. There is no choice for this person, only wooden seals.

But this only took two chances. Once Mu Feng is used as a scapegoat, he cannot be transferred for the third time. He really has to wait for death.

But Mu Jianguo agreed without hesitation. He wanted to live, and it was one thing to die for Mu Zhiqiang, but another to let Mu Feng die.

"I'm just a little scared." The stepmother suddenly had a bad guess, "What if that boy Mu Feng is not from the Mu family? How much do you really know about that year?"

Mu Jianguo panicked when he heard this, he almost couldn't hold back his breath and fell on the bed, "Impossible! Mu Feng is from the Mu family, you think my mother is stupid, if the woman is not pregnant with a child from the Mu family, she won't be pregnant at all. Let her in."

"Touch!" At this moment, the door of the room was kicked open suddenly, and Mu Jianguo and his stepmother stared at the intact wooden seal as if they had seen a ghost.

"Put Zhiqiang down!" The stepmother's eyes widened, and she saw that fat little Mu Zhiqiang was tightly tied up and held in his hand by a wooden seal. Mu Zhiqiang's mouth was blocked and he could only There was a whining sound, and tears flowed down my eyes when I saw my parents.

Mu Feng is using Mu Zhiqiang to threaten the two of them, telling them to say everything they need to say.

He turned the knife in his left hand, the blade was cold, and he could feel a murderous aura.This is a knife that has killed people, and it is only one finger away from Mu Zhiqiang's neck.Just as the stepmother was about to rush up, she saw the knife was so close to Mu Zhiqiang's neck that she dared not move at all.

"You bastard, what are you doing! This is your brother!" Mu Jianguo yelled on the bed, but his body was extremely weak and he couldn't get out of bed at all, so he vomited a mouthful of blood after he cursed.

Just as Mu Jianguo finished speaking, he saw Mu Feng draw a streak of blood on Mu Zhiqiang's face, which frightened the two of them.Mu Feng was telling the truth, Mu Jianguo found that Mu Feng's eyes were cold, and he completely regarded them as enemies.

"If you have one more nonsense, I don't mind helping this little fat man add some red." It is impossible not to be resentful when letting another son die without thinking!

"Didn't you guys have a good chat just now? Go on and talk about what happened that year. If you make it clear, I will let this little fat man go!" Mu Feng forced himself to retain the last of his reason. He was just designed by someone called his father. to die.It is said that tiger poison does not eat its offspring, but when it is placed on him, the second half of the sentence is answered, but people are easy to eat their offspring!

"Mu Jianguo, I want to hear from you, am I your son or not?!"

"Of course not!" The stepmother couldn't help but yelled out. At this time, she was full of Mu Zhiqiang, and she didn't ask why Mu Feng was fine.Seeing that Mu Feng is fighting like this, if Mu Feng can fight, she can't!What if your son is injured. "Jianguo, tell me quickly! Mu Feng is your brother's son, what's going on, tell me quickly, do you want to see Zhiqiang die?"

After Mu Feng heard what his stepmother said, he was already prepared. He was indeed not Mu Jianguo's son, but fortunately he was not Mu Jianguo's son.

"You are my brother's son, and he died 19 years ago." Mu Jianguo finally revealed this long-buried secret, and there were some things in it that his stepmother didn't even know about.

"Speaking of which, Mu Hanyan has been dead for 19 years, but he never let me go!" Mu Jianguo was very reluctant to mention this brother, "He is more than ten years older than me, and even his name is completely different from mine. , do you understand? Hanyan, Jianguo, these are not people from the same road at all!"

Mu Feng remembered that he had seen Mu Hanyan's name on those tablets just now, he never thought that this would be his father.Indeed, Jianguo, which is very popular in terms of naming style, is completely different from Hanyan.Then Mu Feng knew why, because Mu Hanyan and Mu Jianguo were half brothers.

Mr. Mu and his original partner Zhang Zhi got married according to their parents’ orders and the words of a matchmaker. At that time, around 1920, there was no love between them. After marriage, Grandpa Mu left home to join the revolution because of the current situation. Mu Hanyan was not born until 1933, more than ten years after his marriage.

After Mu Hanyan was born, Zhang Zhi's health was not very good. Mu Hanyan grew up with his mother, and only met his father who was away all the year round. When Mu Hanyan was ten years old, the Anti-Japanese War came to a strategic counterattack. stage, he saw less of his father.

However, Mu Hanyan knew the general situation very well. He understood the helplessness of sacrificing Xiaojia for the sake of the country, but at this time Zhang Zhi's body could no longer survive, and Zhang Zhi passed away before the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

One year after Zhang Zhi's death, Grandpa Mu took his grandma Mu, who was comrades in the same team, and had Mu Jianguo in 1945.

At this time, the War of Resistance Against Japan was over, and the Mu family also lived together.Mu Hanyan was already 12 years old at this time. He was brought up by Zhang Zhi, a scholarly family, and he didn't have much in common with his father, who had been at war all year round.

However, Mu Hanyan has a good personality. He is filial and takes care of his younger brother for his elder brother. Although the family is somewhat estranged, they have always gotten along well.

This lasted 20 years. Mu Hanyan later worked outside and seldom returned home. He got married, and his wife became pregnant in 1964, but it was also this year that Mr. Mu became seriously ill.Mu Hanyan could only take his wife home to see Grandpa Mu for the last time, but who would have thought that a landslide happened that summer, and it was Mu Jianguo who came to support Mu Hanyan's family. At the critical moment, Mu Hanyan helped push Mu Jianguo away. Jianguo survived, but he himself was hit by a boulder and fell off the cliff to his death.

After hearing the news, Mr. Mu died immediately, and Mu Feng's mother was even more heartbroken. Her child lost her father before she was born.I don't know if she was too sad, but she actually made a request. She hoped that Mu Feng could be raised under Mu Jianguo's name after he was born, and she didn't tell him about it until Mu Feng grew up.

Such a request is a bit weird, but Grandma Mu agreed, her son was saved by his brother, and taking care of her nephew is also a matter of course.And Grandma Mu also knew that Mu Feng's mother was seriously injured by this incident, and she might die soon. Sure enough, she passed away three years after Mu Feng was born.

Grandma Mu knew that raising him as a son was different from raising him as a nephew. Although Mu Jianguo had an extra son before he was married, it seemed like an extra burden for him, but how could he not repay his life-saving grace.

In this way, Grandma Mu made the decision and told outsiders that Mu Feng's mother was Mu Jianguo's wife. Fortunately, she didn't show her feelings at the time, so she arranged a hasty banquet and finalized the matter.

"I don't want Mu Hanyan to save me at all!" Mu Jianguo yelled angrily, "When he was alive, everyone knew that I had an elder brother who would never be comparable to me, and he finally left here to live in another place. I forgot that there was such a person, so I breathed a sigh of relief. But he just saved me with his life, so I will always remember his kindness, and there is one more you!

I don't want to raise you, but my mother said it was a life-saving grace, and I should treat you as my own son.But the more you grow up, the more hateful you become like your father, you can learn everything, and you will never look like an ordinary person!Zhiqiang was suppressed firmly, why!Why do you say this! "
