Hundreds of acres of scorched fields are empty, and the end is rolling hills. Even in summer, in this perennial water-scarce area, there is still no grass growing.

The three-day appointment agreed by Xi Ling came soon. Originally, they were worried that the day of the Feng Shui test would scare the villagers a little too much. No one would dare to come out to join in the fun at night, so they hired a few more people in the city to serve as Boss Chang's subordinates. As soon as no one came to see the show, these few people would help to create the atmosphere, and they would not stop until they made the villagers restless.

As a result, the convoy hadn't entered the scene yet, and the two realized that they were really worrying too much. The intersection was already full of dark crowds, and everyone held a flashlight, shining bright white beams of light in front of them. With a preoccupied appearance, everyone was looking left and right, waiting for Xi Daxian to appear. When they saw the Mercedes-Benz driving in with flashing lights, the crowd immediately started talking, and they automatically gave way to a small road that could pass the car. The driver parked the car aside. As usual, he opened the door first to let Boss Chang get out of the car. After the big belly and round boss got out of the car, he walked to the other side of the car himself, and helped Daxian in a long robe to get out of the car.

Looking at the surrounding villagers, both of them secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they still ignored it on the face, but deliberately amplified their voices when they spoke, only to hear Chang Qin pulling his throat and pointing to the dark flat ground ahead Asked: "Daxian, do you think this is here?"

Xi Ling pretended to stare deeply into the distance, and then raised his head to look at the clear night sky - the bright and clear crescent moon hung high above his head, occasionally covered by dark clouds slowly, and then gradually dispersed. "They are coming soon." Xi Ling nodded and replied calmly.

The discussion in the crowd became more and more noisy, and everyone naturally understood who Daxian called "they". They planned to join in the fun, but Xi Daxian had a firm and unquestionable expression on his face, and everyone began to panic: Could it be that those people would really come?

Although it is summer, it is still a bit cold outside in the middle of the night. The robe on Xi Ling's body is very thin, and the cold wind blows through him. He glanced up, but was taken aback by Chang Qin's nervous expression, so he curled the corner of his lower lip and comforted: "Don't worry, it will definitely appear." After speaking, he turned his gaze to the distance again.

Chang Qin didn't have the nerve to put his hand on the opponent's shoulder again, so he had to pull it back. He wanted to say that I wasn't worried about this, but seeing that the opponent had already lost his mind, he pressed his lips tightly and sighed softly.

Another dark cloud floated by lightly, blocking the only light in the night sky. At this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew past, bringing out a little spark that came from nowhere. Soon, the spark spread out a large piece of flame, The spiky green grass, which is rare to emerge from the field, was burned to a crackling sound, and the smoke after burning spread in the air, and everyone could smell a smell of burnt grass.This unknown fire instantly ignited everyone's emotions. Some people were screaming, some were wailing. In the scorching fire, the once unscrupulous fire seemed to come back, evoking the most untouchable memories in people's hearts.

Some people started to flee, but before they took a step, a more terrifying scene appeared. At the end of the plain, a group of figures in white clothes and long gowns suddenly appeared in the empty place. The faces are unclear, but in the flickering firelight, the group of "ghosts" coming from nowhere can be clearly identified, approaching here step by step, and with faint calls, the group of white-clothed people are getting closer and closer. As it got closer, the content of the call became more and more clear: "Unfilial son, give me back my life..." Accompanied by bursts of strange wind whistles, the hairs of those who listened stood on end.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, many people collapsed and fainted on the ground, and some even cried out in fright. At this time, a person dressed as a villager ran over from a short distance and shouted in horror: "Everyone, come quickly!" Look, the holy lady has appeared!"

So a group of people didn't care that the ghosts were still asking for their lives here, and hurriedly followed the person who led the way to the Shenggu Temple not far away. In front of the Buddha statue with its incomplete face in the fire, a seemingly invisible figure of a woman flew in mid-air. I saw the woman's black yarn and red robe, phoenix crown and Xiapei, as said in the poem: Hongshangxiapei steps to shake the crown, and tin necklace Tired Pei Shanshan.In the swaying flames, ripples like water appeared all over his body.

The appearance of the ghost also confirmed the rumor that the "sage" is a newly married woman.According to legend, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, ran for three days and three nights when he was chased by Wang Lang.When they came to Wangduo Village in Baoling City, the officers and soldiers were parched and unable to move forward. At this time, a young girl was sitting by the well platform of a big tree at the head of the village to wash her clothes, and there was a water bucket beside her. The jar, so Liu Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and asked the girl if she could borrow the jar. The girl looked up and saw a handsome young general, her face immediately turned red, and asked the general what he wanted the jar for, Liu Xiu put herself in the right place. After being hunted down by the enemy, I told her about running with soldiers for three days and three nights. She wanted to use a jar to get some water for the horses to drink. Unexpectedly, the girl smiled and pointed to the jar and said that the general does not need to work hard to carry the water. You just drink the water in it.Liu Xiu was already exhausted and had no time to argue with the girl. When she heard that she brought up the jar, she put it in her mouth. Unexpectedly, she saw that there was only half a jar full of clean water, but she couldn't finish it anyway. When Liu Xiu was full, she poured it The jar was thrown to the soldiers beside them, and everyone took turns to drink, but as a result, a group of troops passed down, but there was not a single drop of water in the jar. Liu Xiuzheng was surprised, and Wang Lang's men suddenly killed him. Holding on to the battle with swords drawn, the horn sounded, and the girl sitting under the tree washing clothes suddenly lifted the water jug ​​at her feet, and fell in front of Wang Lang's army, a turbulent river suddenly gushed out of the jug, Just standing in front of the enemy, Wang Lang gritted his teeth with hatred, but he could only stare blankly, unable to cross the river, and finally had to withdraw his troops and retreat.Liu Xiu, who was rescued, thanked the girl and learned that the girl was the daughter of the Hao family in the village. Seeing that the girl was white, tender and beautiful, she made a promise that when the war was won, she would marry the girl. The girl shyly made the promise and asked the general to keep her promise , otherwise he will not marry others for life.

After Liu Xiu rested here for a while, he continued on his way with his men and horses. Hao's daughter kept her promise for five years, and accidentally became the oldest unmarried girl in the village. Her parents were anxious all day long. Frustrated, he told his daughter countless marriages, but they were all rejected by Hao's daughter. Seeing that she was getting older and the young girl was about to turn into a yellow-faced woman, the villager's son, who had a crush on Hao's daughter for many years, secretly He came up with a bad idea with the girl's parents, conspired to stun the daughter, put her into a Fengguan Xiapei, and stuffed her into the sedan chair.When Hao's daughter woke up, she was already lying on the marriage bed surrounded by red candles. Seeing the naughty face of the other party's son approaching her little by little, Hao's daughter was full of despair, closed her eyes, and pushed the groom away. The hand that came over rushed into the pool in the yard and jumped down.Later, when Liu Xiu came back victorious, he heard that Hao's daughter had already died in love, so she couldn't help feeling sad, so she named Hao's daughter "Holy Aunt" and ordered people to set up a temple in the local area to appease the dead soul of the Holy Aunt in heaven.

However, there is no evidence to check the date when Shenggu Temple was first built. It is said that it was built under the order of Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. Now it is verified that Shenggu Temple is a Yuan Dynasty building.In any case, the holy lady who suddenly appeared at this time, dressed in wedding attire, happened to bear witness to the legend that the holy lady died in love on her wedding night many years ago.

"Ignorant villagers." She said suddenly, her voice was ethereal and distant, "Let the monsters bewitch you. Rumors spread that the holy lady is old and decrepit and needs someone of a similar age to accompany her. This has disturbed my clean place with smog and sorrow. You are limited to three days Quickly clean up this place and settle the innocent souls, otherwise, I will return all the things I did in the past." After the holy lady finished speaking these few words slowly, Xi Daxian grabbed a stick that didn't know where it came from. The wooden stick, a raging flame was burning at one end of the wooden stick. He tapped on the four doors a few times, and then waves of flames burst out from the doors, running all the way along an invisible line. Not long after, the four The big characters shining with fire are shining brightly in front of everyone's eyes, and the four big characters are: reincarnation of heaven.After the flames on the facade were burnt out, the "Holy Lady" in mid-air suddenly disappeared in the raging fire. Xi Daxian stepped forward in two or three steps, and poured out the fireworks in front of the temple with the water basin in his hand. Only a few wisps of blue smoke remained, lingering on the ashes.

The scene fell into silence, and the villagers obviously hadn't recovered from the scene just now. The "dead man claiming his life" and "the saint's apparition", such phenomena that can only be seen in horror novels, are actually real. In front of their eyes, they were so scared that they even forgot to scream.

Xi Ling put down the water basin, looked at the crowd calmly, and said loudly: "I believe everyone understands the meaning of the holy lady. It's only three days, so please do it yourself."

Only then did the villagers regain their sanity, and the voices of discussion resounded through the sky again, more lively than ever before. A woman suddenly knelt down and shouted to the sky with tears on her face: "Mom! I'm sorry for you, Mom!" !" Driven by her, the rest of the villagers also knelt down one after another. Chang Qin looked down, and at some point, his feet fell down crying, sobbing one after another, everyone was babbling about the names of their parents, I wish I could recall the undead to make up for the absurd mistakes I made before.

"If I knew this earlier, why bother." Xi Ling walked up to him at some point, snorted coldly, tugged at his sleeve and said, "Let's go."

They passed through the kowtowing crowd, and found under a big tree not far away. Wu Jing was guarding there with Uncle Zhu. The figure from the back who was kowtowing repeatedly, his lips trembling slightly, and his eyes filled with crystal clear tears, if Wu Jing hadn't dragged a hand, he would probably fall to the ground like that person.

"That's Uncle Zhu's son." Wu Jing whispered to the two of them. Chang Qin found that his forehead was covered with sweat and his voice was trembling. He must have been frightened too.

Xi Ling nodded, followed Uncle Zhu's line of sight, with a thoughtful expression.

"Lawyer Xi, Big Brother Chang!" At this moment, a man popped out from behind the bushes and greeted them both with a smile.

"Bai Yulan, thank you for your hard work." Seeing her, Xi Ling also laughed, and hurried to her.Wu Jing on the side was so frightened that his jaw almost dropped, he hadn't figured out where a woman appeared out of nowhere, only heard Xi Ling cough lightly, and continued, "She played the role of the saint just now."

It turned out that after Bai Yulan returned home with her parents-in-law, she first went to the city to buy a cheap mobile phone with the money given by Xi Ling, and then called them according to the number on the business card. At that time, Xi Ling and Chang Qin were in the city Buying materials, I was worried that I had nowhere to borrow a girl to pretend to be a holy aunt. Bai Yulan's phone number solved this problem. Without further ado, Bai Yulan settled down with her son, and rushed over by train that day. The two of them bought a suit according to her size. A simple bridal dress, and bought some special gouache, a few pieces of cloth, some gunpowder and gasoline, and a super-large mirror, and rushed back to Wangduo Village with these things, fearing that the villagers would find out, so they could only secretly prepare props at night. Director Chang, who is good at hand-painting, first draws a rough portrait on the barren hills behind the field in advance, and then smears the portrait with white paint, which looks like a ghost in white clothes. After finishing, he covers it with a piece of cloth of the same color. After being destroyed by fire, few villagers appeared here, and the hills were far away, so it was difficult to find the hidden secrets without looking carefully. A flame, the fire spread instantly, and the people hiding under the hills lifted the cloth, and the special paint on the surface was under the action of the air, showing vivid and beating figures, just like a group of unrepented souls in white clothes came to claim their lives. At this time, another person turned on the scary sound effect that Chang Qin had downloaded from which website, matched with the weird voice, connected the speaker with the mobile phone, and was rendered by the scene in front of him, the effect could not be more realistic.

As for the "appearance of the holy lady", it couldn't be simpler. First, hide a large mirror on the side of the hall, and then light a bonfire in front. The girl who rises in the air is actually just a reflection of the mirror, under the rendering of the fire. It seemed to be faintly visible. At that time, Magnolia was actually behind them, but everyone's attention was attracted by the "sage" in front of the hall. No one noticed that the real saint was behind them. When the saint gave an order, Xi Daxian Raise the torch and burn out the four characters of "Heavenly Reincarnation" on the gate that had already been buried with gunpowder. After the words are burned, immediately smash the mirror. Because there is music covering it, people will naturally not hear the sound of glass breaking. The phenomenon of "gu" disappearing in the firelight is a matter of course.

"The villager who yelled that the holy lady appeared and attracted everyone to the front of the temple was naturally pretended by us." After hearing Chang Qin's explanation, Xi Ling nodded and smiled, then turned to look at Wu Jing, "After listening to these , are you feeling better?"

"Lawyer Xi, I don't understand what you mean." Wu Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead, but his face obviously relaxed a lot.

"Of course you understand what I mean. After the fire that year, you were the one who called the immortal from outside the village to confuse the public and instigated the villagers to send the old man to the Shenggu Temple. Isn't it you? Brother Angus." Xi Ling stared intently. Looking at him, he said calmly.
