Chapter Eleven: Chen Family Slope Sets Up A Card

  In a twinkling of an eye, five days passed, and Liangshan and others stood firm in Yangcun. Chenjiawu, the nearest to Yangcun at the foot of Xiaoniu Mountain, was bustling with excitement.

  Chen Family Ancestral Hall at night.

  The ancestral hall was in an uproar, and finally Chen Hu, the master of the Chen family, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please calm down. The Liang family will have to stay for a while longer if they want to successfully take over the estate. Only after harvesting a year's worth of rice will the county government recognize it."

  "The clan leader, it's been five days already, the people inside should be safe. I think we should send someone in immediately, there are twenty hectares of good land in there, and maybe even more." An elder said. In this world, good land is power.

  "It's impossible. Yang Village is a notorious haunted place, and many have entered before but suffered heavy casualties. Let's wait for some more time."

  "It's too late to look again, so many years have passed, even if there are ghosts, it's impossible for them to linger for so many years."

  "It's absolutely impossible, that paulownia forest is still gloomy and eerie, which means Yang's vengeful spirit is still there."

  ……

  At this time, an elder walked up to Chen Hu and whispered a few words. Chen Hu nodded and said, "Let's stop here for today, everyone can disperse."

  On the second day, Chenjiawen set up a checkpoint on the road from Yangcun to Majiabao.

  Chenjiawu didn't understand Yangcun's true intentions, so he could only wait for someone from inside to come out.

  Liang's family on the seventh day in Yang village, Liangshan inspected Wu Jin's blacksmith shop.

  Wu Jin took out ten short knives with Xiao Jin's iron egg, which was far superior to the equipment level of the rural township's troops.

  Liangshan was very satisfied, but when he turned his head, he saw Wu Tu running over and saying that the Wu family members were being blocked by Chen Jia Pu people at the foot of the mountain. Liangshan hurriedly took Wu Tu down the mountain.

  Liangshan had just walked out from under the two landmark pagoda trees when Wu Huo shouted loudly with his neck stretched: "What right do you have to not let us go up the mountain, is this mountain your home?"

  "This strong man, we are all good intentions, Yang Village is a notorious ghost domain, you go there is to seek death!" A steward-like person advised, but the corner of his eye glanced at Liangshan.

  Liangshan's heart moved slightly, and he understood that blocking Wu's family was not the goal, but rather to lure him out.

  "In the lower beam mountain, I don't know why Chenjia Village people want to block my clan?" Liangshan said loudly.

  "But Master Liang?" asked the steward, bowing his body.

  "That's right."

  "Long admired your great name!" The housekeeper said with a hearty laugh.

  "What's going on here?"

  "Yang's family is a ghostly domain, I wonder how Brother Shan can be so calm and carefree?" A somewhat familiar voice rang out.

  Liáng Shān turned his head, and a handsome young man appeared, wearing a small crown on his head, a blue undergarment with a right lapel, and a pleated skirt below.

  Liáng Shān recognized him as his fellow student Chen Youchuan from Lou Tai Academy.

  Along with him, eight masters from Chenjia Village appeared, each with a robust build and an aura of energy emanating from their bodies. Two of them, however, had their energy contained within, clearly indicating that they were masters in the Bone Forging stage.

  Yangcun is right under Chenjia Bay's eyelids, and the intersection can't help but fight. Liangshan cupped his hands and said: "I've seen Brother Chuan!"

  "Brother Shan Bo, you're back safe and sound!" Chen Youchuan's eyes sparkled with a hint of sharpness as he scanned Liangshan's body, seemingly trying to discern something.

  "These people have come to surrender at Mount Liang, I don't know why the Chen family is blocking them?" Liangshan's tone was not very polite.

  Although they were classmates, they didn't get along at school because of Ma Wenshu's influence, and many classmates disliked Liang Shanbo.

  Chen Youchuan's face turned cold and he said: "But I don't know what Brother Shan Bo came to Xiaoniu Mountain for?"

  "When will Xiaoniu Mountain become yours, Chen family?"

  Chen Youchuan stared at Liang Shan for a while, then burst out laughing and said: "I knew long ago that Brother Liang had a hidden talent, but unfortunately the Liang family didn't recognize it. In that case, our Chen family also has a daughter, eighteen years old, named Fourth Daughter, with beauty unparalleled in the world. Why not come to our Chen family as a son-in-law? That way you'll have a place to stay."

  "How dare you!" Wu shouted, taking a step forward.

  Chen's family had a daughter named Siniang, who was a woman known to everyone in the 12th village. She was indeed beautiful and unparalleled, but she had been married three times, and each time her husband died suddenly on their wedding day. Such a woman is the most taboo in the world. Chen Youchuan's words were actually heart-piercing.

  "Shan Bo, your servant is so impolite?"

  Liáng Shān smiled and said: "Wú Tǔ is my brother, what he says is what I say."

  Chen Youchuan gazed at Liangshan, secretly laughing in his heart. This Liangshan Bo was indeed self-destructive, associating with rough men.

  "Brother Youhe, let's not drag this out. If the Chen family is interested in Yang Village, follow me and take a look for yourself. However, I don't guarantee your safety!" With that, Liangshan made a "please follow me" gesture.

  Chen Youchuan's face showed a look of surprise and doubt, seeing Liangshan's face showing a mocking expression, his heart was furious, and he fiercely waved his hand: "You two go in and take a look!"

  "Master!" The two men who were named immediately turned pale.

  Chen Youchuan's face turned stern. The two of them had no choice but to shiver and tremble as they approached the two locust trees.

  In the midst of a scorching summer, an eerie chill rose from under the trees, and two people, despite their bravery, shivered all over.

  Chen Youchuan cursed under his breath, "Useless guy", thinking that even a useless person like Liangshan Bo could come and go freely, how could he be so afraid? Suddenly, Chen Youchuan felt a chill wind blowing around him, his eyebrows were instantly frosted, and when he opened his mouth, a cold air burst out, causing his shoulders to shudder immediately.

  "Ah! Ah!" The two people who were scouting ahead let out a miserable cry and turned around to run back.

  Chen Youchuan was startled and his voice trembled: "Wh-what's going on?!"

  Those two people's eyes were wide with fear, their hands waving wildly and slapping, as if something was following them from behind.

  The people behind Chen Youchuan retreated one by one, remembering the terrifying stories they had heard before, and each of them trembled like a sieve.

  Liangshan secretly let out a sigh of relief, and as he had expected, the vengeful spirit of the Yang family had become a barrier for them at present.

  This is also the reason why Liangshan did not allow Zhu Qingyun to thoroughly redeem them. If they disappeared, the fertile Yangcun would be like a white and delicate girl lying on the bed, and the twelve ridges would be like twelve fierce wolves that would pounce over fiercely.

  Zhu Liyun said to Liangshan, even if it's the "Rebirth Sutra", it can't save them. After all, the "Rebirth Sutra" is a scripture for saving the spirits of the dead that has been passed down among the common people, and for the vengeful spirit of Yangcun who died miserably, it only has the effect of slightly alleviating its pain.

  The vengeful spirits of the wrongly killed relive the scene of their murder every day, and with each passing day, their resentment grows thicker than ever. If not for Liangshan's suggestion that ignited their fundamental desire to see the Yang family continue in the mortal world, even Zhu Qianyun would be powerless against them.

  Chen Youchuan's face was pale, and he pointed at Liangshan, saying: "Are you a human or a ghost?" Chen Youchuan did not believe that the Liangshan standing in front of him now was a living person.

  Liáng Shān smiled and took a big step forward, walking up to Chen Youchuan's face and said: "What do you say?"

  "How can a son not speak of his father's strange and evil spirit? If he cannot serve men, how can he serve ghosts?" Chen Youchuan did not dare to look at Liangshan, instead looking up at the blue sky, hastily reciting Confucian classics to himself for encouragement. He cupped his hands together in respect and said: "Today I beg for pardon, another day I will come to your door to apologize." Having said that, he turned around and took a few steps before running off.

  Chen Youchuan returned to Chenjia Bay and told the owner Chen Hu about what happened at the entrance of Yang Village. Chen Hu listened, but remained silent for a long time.

  Chen Youchuan's face was full of guilt and shame, he didn't handle this matter well.

  Chen Hu suddenly said: "You have one thing right, He."

  "The host is clear!"

  "Get Fourth Daughter up the mountain!" Chen Hu stood up and slapped the table.

  Chen Youchuan's eyes rolled around and he immediately applauded, saying: "Wonderful! Extremely wonderful!"

  That night, Chen Siniang's father was invited by the village elder to talk for half an hour. When he came out again, the old man was carrying a large bundle and walking heavily.

  The fourth daughter's home was in a small earthen house at Chenjiawen, near Xiaoniu Mountain, with a sloping roof and many leaks.

  The old man entered the room, said a few words, and an old woman's sobbing voice immediately came out, faintly hearing "Why is my son so miserable?" After a while, I heard a very pleasant female voice say firmly: "Dad! Mom! Fourth daughter is willing to marry that Liang Shanbo."

  The old couple sighed and cried all night, but as soon as the sun rose in the east, they stopped. It was the eighth day that the Liang family had entered Yang Village.

  Chen Si Niang sat up early, washed and dressed, and sat on the edge of the bed. The old woman combed her hair from behind, each stroke extremely slow. Alas, it was finished, and the old woman's tears flowed freely.

  Fourth Daughter turned around to comfort her: "Mother, don't worry too much. Although Liang Shanbo has a bad reputation, I'm not that much better than him either. He was driven out, but he knew how to go to Yang Village, which shows he's got some courage. After Ma Wenshu died, the Ma family was after his life, but he's been in Yang Village for so many days and nothing has happened to him, it seems like he's a lucky person too. If I marry him, who knows, maybe we'll have a long-lasting marriage."

  "Son, that's Yang Village, it's full of evil spirits."

  "My daughter is not afraid." Fourth Daughter-in-law said softly. In her heart, Chenjiawu was not necessarily better than Yangcun.

  The two daughters lingered in the boudoir for half an hour, and the old man had to lead a donkey outside and call out several times. The fourth daughter came out wearing her wedding dress, but the old man was stunned, and tears rolled down his cheeks.
