The Taoist priest is beautiful in his prosperous age [entertainment circle]

Before going to bed, looking at a soft bed and a wooden canopy bed in the room, Xie Buning thought belatedly, since they sleep separately anyway, it doesn't seem to matter much if they sleep well...

The wooden canopy bed was moved later, and the bed board is harder, but it is not difficult to sleep with a thick quilt.

For the first two nights, Xie Buning and Pei Baiyang took turns sleeping.As a result, Pei Baiyang slept on the plank bed for one night, and when he woke up the next day, he rubbed his shoulders and groaned, saying that it was too embarrassing, but Xie Buning laughed at him: "The Princess and the Pea."

He lived in the Taoist dormitory all year round, but he was used to the hard bed, so he offered to sleep here.

Xie Buning had just gone to bed when Si Jueyu came over to wipe his hair. The white towel was borrowed from him.

"You sleep over there."

Si Jueyu stood by the bed, his tone was light, but not in a tone of discussion.

"This bed is very hard, I'm afraid you won't be used to sleeping on it." Everyone in Xie Buning lay down under the quilt. The quilts in the country are all solid cotton, and the cover is very warm. He felt a little lazy for a while and didn't want to move.

Besides, Xiao Si seems to be more particular than Pei Baiyang, so he must not be used to sleeping.

Si Jueyu met his eyes protruding from under the quilt. In the quiet night, the warm yellow lights in the house made people feel a little dazed.

He paused with his hand wiping his long hair, and said, "You filmed a fight scene today, and your body needs to relax. The muscles are tense and contracted for a long time, which will cause strain."

It makes sense, no wonder my neck is always sore recently.Xie Buning crawled out of the bed in a hurry, and did not forget to help Xiao Si press the quilt tightly to prevent the heat from escaping.

Then, wearing only thin pajamas, he got out of bed with his arms folded.Unexpectedly, when he stepped on the ground, the white toes of one foot curled up in the cold, and quickly stepped on the other foot.

Si Jueyu stood in front of him, avoiding his neckline.

That night, perhaps because the heating was too high, Si Jue Yu didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

……

In fact, Director Jiang is not honest at all when he sleeps.

In the room on the other side, Pei Baiyang didn't have the privilege of sleeping in the same bed, so he could only share the quilt with Jiang Shan.

Director Jiang snores!Pei Baiyang didn't fall asleep until early in the morning, and in his dream he heard a door calling from afar.It took a while to realize that someone was actually knocking on the door.

"What's going on outside?" Pushing Jiang Shan, Pei Baiyang listened.

Jiang Shan was called up by him, and got up half asleep and half awake: "Go out and have a look."

It wasn't just them, many people had come out of the courtyard, all woken up by the banging on the door.

Xie Buning opened the door, and Si Jueyu was behind him, simply wearing a coat.

Hearing the unfriendly voices outside, the crew opened the big wooden door, and were immediately scared back by a group of people holding long sticks and farming tools outside.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing the aunt I met last night in the crowd, Xie Buning had a bad feeling and stepped forward to ask, "Auntie, is there something wrong in the village?"

Aunt He wiped her tears: "My child is lost."

"Not only my children, but several families in the village have lost their dolls!"

A middle-aged man who took the lead stepped forward, holding a flashlight in his hand, and kept looking into the courtyard: "We have searched all over the village, maybe the children are playful and don't know where they are hiding, please let us go in and look for them. "

"We are a regular crew." Some people in the crowd were dissatisfied.

What fun? Their gates are well locked, and no one has ever come in. It is suspected that they are abducting and trafficking children.

Someone in the village said angrily, "They are the only ones who came to the village recently."

"It's a guilty conscience not to let in."

Jiang Shan woke up completely, and called back the people who made the noise earlier. It would be better to block them out. Anyway, they sat upright, and said to the villagers: "Everyone, come in and look for them."

With his consent, a group of villagers rushed into the yard and room to search carefully.

Xie Buning and Si Jueyu looked at each other, and they saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

Xie Buning went to ask Aunt He: "First you cried at night, but now you are lost again, have you never thought about looking for Master?"

In many places among the people, some people worship gods by themselves, but they are not serious religious people. Such people are generally called Shigong, and women are called witches.

Aunt He was stunned for a moment, thinking that this young man is not superstitious.Sighing, he said, "There is no powerful master near our village, so I have to go and call, but I won't be able to arrive in a while."

Now that metaphysics is on the decline, there are very few people in the folk who are engaged in the profession of masters and witches. Even if there are, it would be good to know a little bit of Fengshui and Kanyu. There are very few people like Xie Buning who can draw symbols and use spells.

The master who didn't come may not be expected to come.

Xie Buning pondered and said: "The 24 hours before the missing person is the best search and rescue period, there is no time to delay, if you agree, tell me what's going on, and I'll see if I can help you."

"You? Can you help me?" Aunt He's eyes widened.

Xie Buning took out the Taoist card in the phone and showed it to her, hey, anyway, this photo is quite frequently used.

Aunt He was surprised and delighted, she didn't know what level Xie Buning was, but at this time someone could stand up, she couldn't help but grab the straw: "I said, I said, Daoist, you must help me."

From Aunt He's mouth, they roughly understood what happened.

This matter had to start before Xie Buning came.A few nights ago, there was a rare thunderstorm that split the Shuikou tree in front of the ancestral hall in the village.Later, the village chief said that the tree struck by lightning was a bad omen, so he led people to cut the tree down.Some people in the village wanted to stop him, but they didn't.

Unexpectedly, in the next few nights, several children in the village cried one after another at night, saw a doctor, and posted a night cry post, but nothing got better.

When the child cries at night, the adults suffer along with it, and cannot sleep well every night.Tonight, Aunt He managed to take a nap before dawn, and didn't hear the child crying, but when she opened her eyes, the quilt was empty.

At first, she thought that the child got out of bed to drink water or relieve himself, but when she looked in the house, there was no one around, so she panicked.

When she came out to call for help, she realized that her family was not the only one who lost their children, and they all disappeared this morning.Losing a few in a row, they suspected that the crime was committed by a gang, but who could be so powerful as to steal a child from her quilt?

"If the big camphor tree hadn't been cut down, these things wouldn't have happened." The villagers inevitably couldn't help thinking that it was either a coincidence or a ghost, and everyone thought so.

Especially the old people in the village, who murmured behind the village head's back: "It's not just for a little money. It sounds nice, but who doesn't know it's because the tree is valuable."

"That's right, hey. The big camphor tree has been growing in front of the ancestral hall for many years. You can move the things of your ancestors. It's not an accident."

"I'm afraid it made the ancestor angry."

No, tiger venom doesn't even eat its children. Whose ancestors would be so angry that they hid their children, I'm afraid it's not a fake ancestor.

Xie Buning secretly thought that this guess is not reliable.

The village chief was a middle-aged man who had just taken the lead, his surname was Lou, and his name was Lou Zhenguo.Everyone in this whole village has the surname Lou, and they belong to the same clan.

He also knew that he was secretly poked in the bone, and he was anxious to get angry.When I heard that Xie Buning was a Taoist priest, even though he was very young, I believed him in a sudden illness.

Naturally, the villagers did not find the children in the rented place of the crew.It was gradually getting brighter, Xie Buning folded a root of grass and put it in the water bowl, and recited the incantation.

Folks call this the water bowl, if someone hits the shade at home, you can see it from the water bowl.Xie Buning also wanted to calculate the whereabouts of several children, but the grass stem in the water bowl was like a compass that had failed, it kept turning, but it couldn't specify the exact direction.

Everyone has never seen a small grass stick, without wind and no one touching it, it can be placed in the water like a motor, and it is amazing.

This time, no one suspected that Xie Buning was a liar.

Xie Buning said disappointedly: "I can't find the direction." Something is wrong, his premonition is rarely wrong, there must be other reasons.

Si Jueyu stood beside him: "If it's man-made, it will definitely leave traces. Let's look for it together."

After such a major incident, Xie Buning became the hope of the villagers to find someone again, so the filming had to be suspended.Jiang Shan took the strong labor of the crew and went with the villagers to search in the mountains near the village.

The bodyguards brought by Si Jueyu were not idle either.The soldiers divided into two groups, looking for someone along the way, and following Xie Buning all the way.

Village head Lou Zhenguo and several elders of the clan brought Xie Buning and Si Jueyu to the original site of the felled camphor tree.

A clearing at the Great Pond is littered with fallen branches and leaves, trampled into the mud.The camphor tree is as thick as three people hugging each other, but unfortunately there is only one stake left.

Next to the pile, there are several fallen stones.

Xie Buning squatted down, stretched out his hands to stack the stones, clapped his palms and gave Lou Zhenguo a glance: "This is the land father, right?"

In order to protect the Shuikou tree, the old custom often refers to a certain stone, or piled stones as an altar, and is regarded as the father-in-law of the land.Pay attention to a little bit, and have to build a small temple.But looking at the collapse of the "land fathers", we can see their attitude.

Lou Zhenguo's brow was sweating in winter: "I...I really didn't expect it to be so mysterious..."

The village head, who was not superstitious at first, was frightened by the villagers pointing at him, for fear that cutting down the tree would cause damage.

Xie Buning asked: "I think this camphor tree was still alive before, why did you cut it down?"

Just because of being struck by lightning?Not very reasonable.

Lou Zhenguo said with some embarrassment: "It was also because I was obsessed with ghosts for a while. The other day, a businessman told me that the price of a tree that survived a lightning strike was very high, so I..."

It was a coincidence that as soon as a lightning strike occurred in the village, the village head met someone collecting wood.Xie Buning was thinking.

But the businessman bought the wood and left, and now he can't find anyone, so the clue is broken.

"Go to the ancestral hall again."

Shuikoushu didn't find it here, since many people thought it was because of offending their ancestors, they naturally had to check it out.

On the plaque of the ancestral hall, there are four gold-plated characters of "Lou's Ancestral Hall". Every household in the village is in good condition. The ancestral hall is old and solemn, following the ancient system.

On a mottled boulder at the door, some celebrities and events of the clan were recorded.Facing the gate is Fangtang, which is correctly called "Panchi".Panchi used to be a pool in the school palace, and it was placed at the entrance of the ancestral hall, which meant that more descendants of the clan "entered school" and "entered Pan", which meant that they could succeed in the imperial examination.

After entering the gate, there is a screen wall.According to the theory of Feng Shui, the screen wall can make the air in the building gather and not disperse, which is very particular.

Looking further inside, the entire ancestral hall looks like a small courtyard, with three bays, with wing rooms on the left and right, and a patio in the middle, which is a typical "four-point gold" structure.

The ancestral hall is mainly made of brick and wood. Although it is old, it is cleaned cleanly, and incense is burning in the incense burner. It can be seen that it is often taken care of.

"The whole ancestral hall and the feng shui bureau outside take care of each other. The layout is excellent. It is a sign of blessing for descendants." Xie Buning looked back and forth, "How could such ancestors vent their anger on innocent children just because of a moment of anger? body."

If the ancestors are dissatisfied with their children and grandchildren's destruction of the feng shui bureau, at most they will show visions to warn them, and taking the children away seems to be useless.

Besides, the trees have been cut down and sold, so it's too late to warn people at this time?

If they were punished for cutting down trees, the village head made the decision, not his family who lost the child.Wouldn't it be better to beat up the unworthy offspring in a dream than to steal the child?It doesn't make sense to offend the ancestors.

Si Jueyu said: "It's not easy to take away a living person." Ordinary ghosts don't have this ability.

The village chief understood a little better, what the master meant was that it was not the punishment of the ancestors being angry, did that mean that it had nothing to do with him cutting down trees?

Xie Buning's eyes fell on a small stone platform next to the altar, and there was a lifelike stone turtle on it, with all four feet on the stone platform, stretching its neck and opening its mouth.But it was not marble, but a dark crust-like stone.

"What is this?" Xie Buning approached curiously.

I haven't seen any descendants offering tortoises to their ancestors. Is this scolding or looking for scolding?

Lou Zhenguo explained unnaturally: "The reason why our village is called 'Jade Village' is because there used to be a small jade vein in the village, and the ancestors made their fortunes because of it. But this happened 200 years ago, and now all the jade has been dug up."

"Worshiping stone tortoises is not a curse. It is said that when our ancestors were mining, they once dug out a jade tortoise. It was not carved. Once the jade was washed out, it naturally looked like a living little tortoise. Later, because of this legend, The ancestors were very beautiful at that time."

"So we thought that the tortoise can also be regarded as the mascot of our village." Lou Zhenguo scratched his head, "We can't afford jade carvings now, so we went into the mountain and dug a stone by ourselves, carved one and enshrined it, so as to protect us There will be another mine in the village..."

Just saw this story on the stone carving outside the gate, Xie Buning didn't expect it to be like this, this is almost putting "want to get rich" on his head.

"That's all?" Xie Buning stared at him suspiciously, the man seemed to be dodging when he spoke.

Lou Zhenguo's body froze, and he opened his mouth, fearing that he would be exposed unexpectedly.

"In front of our ancestors, how dare you keep it secret?" Several old people in the clan stomped their crutches angrily.

Lou Zhenguo had no choice but to bow his head in front of Xie Buning: "Actually, earlier, someone came to me and wanted to buy this stone turtle."
