The sky was bright, and people from the village arrived at the Hu family's courtyard one after another. Among them, there was a person who caught his eye, that is, Chaozi had also come.
Cha Wenbin added oil again before coming out, and when he looked around, all the good laborers in the village had basically arrived. They were all young men in their prime. Since these things happened, some of them naturally didn't believe in this stuff at first, but now they are all respectful of Cha Wenbin because what he does is absolutely different from those feudal superstitions. Every move and gesture has a model and a pattern. On the second day after He Lao's funeral, a family brought their child who had diarrhea to ask Cha Wenbin to take a look and see if it was scared. However, Cha Wenbin gave the woman a prescription for Chinese medicine instead. After taking the medicine, the illness was cured immediately.
That's Cha Wenbin, who not only does good deeds but also practices medicine. He would never perform rituals for illnesses caused by physical reasons and instead recommends others to go to the hospital for treatment, fearing that it might delay their medical attention. Only when someone is truly possessed by evil spirits will he lend a hand, without taking any compensation.
"Those who are already married, please stay in the yard and play, at least to ensure that there is someone here. Old village chief, you go into the house every five minutes to add oil to the bowl under the bed, the oil can't be full or empty, and don't let other strangers enter the house."
The remaining group of young men were all led out of the yard by Cha Wenbin. Chaozi looked a bit haggard, and Cha Wenbin pulled him aside and whispered: "What are you doing here? Go back and rest!"
"I'll go with you guys, can't just disband because my dad left." Chaozi squeezed out a smile in response, although he really wanted to use this ugly smile to cover up his own sadness, but that smile was indeed uglier than crying.
"You can't just go in, within the first seven days after a death, you shouldn't casually enter someone else's home." He looked around and continued, "If it were really you who went to their house and something happened there, they would blame you. The village is not like your city, we have more taboos here, and you need to pay attention to the things that matter."
Chao Zi is like this, the more you don't let him do something, the more he wants to do it. He stiffened his neck and said: "On the battlefield, comrades were killed, does that mean the whole army has to retreat? Do we not need to defend our position? In the end, are you still blaming me for the anger I showed you a few days ago? Didn't I come here to apologize to you?"
Cha Wenbin knew that he couldn't clear up the mess with him for a while, but now there was no time to let him teach this brother. He had to hurry and do something: "I'm not so petty-minded, you listen to me first, go back to the house and stay there. The incense on the case can't be broken for seven days, others' don't count, only your own father's will work. Go back first, I'll also come back in a while. If this isn't handled properly, it could really lead to someone dying." This sentence was actually half-threatening, and there wasn't really such a thing, Cha Wenbin had no choice but to use He Lao to talk things over.
But this remark really worked, and Chao Tzu had no choice but to sulkily withdraw, hanging his head as he went back to burn incense in front of He Lao's memorial tablet.
The remaining young men, all around twenty years old, were full of vigor and courage, not afraid of anything. When they heard that they would be following a Taoist priest to catch ghosts, they became extremely excited, wondering who had really seen a ghost before, and everyone wanted to follow along to see the novelty.
At this time, there was another companion beside Cha Wenbin, that is Heizi.
Hei Zi had been entrusted to his maternal grandmother's house since he went to the provincial city, and was returned to Xiao Shu Shu again. However, last night, Zhuo Xiong took it back from his maternal grandmother's house overnight with a shoulder pole.
Cha Wenbin opened a package wrapped in red cloth, inside which was the skeleton that had been thrown in last night. He let Black Dog sniff it, and immediately Black Dog let out a loud howl towards Lion Mountain in the distance, its two thick legs almost digging a hole in the ground.
"What mountain is that?" Cha Wenbin asked the village chief.
"Shizi Mountain, that year Hu Changzi's father was killed by his own grandfather with a single shot at the top of the mountain. They say that mountain is haunted, we only played around at the foot of the mountain, up above are ancient trees reaching for the sky, no one dares to go there. Ah, yes, Hu Changzi went to deliver a message, he had to cross over this mountain, that household is on the other side of the mountain. Oh, I need to go fill up gas, wait till I come out and I'll tell you more, that mountain indeed has something eerie about it." The old village chief said as he hurriedly went in, when he came out again, Cha Wenbin had already led those young ones away, actually he wanted to say was about the time they went hunting, he was one of them.
He left him to fill the oil, there was a reason for that. Qī Xīng xù mìng saw that he couldn't bear strangers, so it was the old village chief who went first that night, and his breath still lingered in that room. If the best candidate was definitely Huáng Ròu Liǎn and Tiě Niú, but these two were rough and unrefined, Chá Wén Bīn feared they wouldn't do well with this delicate task, it's better to bring him along to be at ease.
They also brought unmarried men, and there was a reason for that. Unmarried men have strong yang energy, high flames, and are not easily affected by evil spirits. Besides, with such a large group of people gathered together, ordinary things wouldn't dare to come out. Iron Bull had gotten married too, but he was different - as a butcher, he was the natural enemy of evil spirits.
In the past, those who were stronger than this profession were all butchers. If they were a bit older, butchers who had killed over a thousand people and became known as "thousand-killers" would have their knives feared even by Yanluo (the king of hell). Most butchers kill too many people in their lifetime and are afraid that after death, when they go to the underworld, they will be held accountable. So, they bring their knives with them into their coffins. As long as the knife is there, those who were killed by it won't dare to do anything to them. The same goes for generals' tombs - most of the things unearthed are the swords they wore in life, and very few are the swords that have actually killed people. These swords are not passed down through generations because ordinary people can't handle them without bringing disaster upon themselves.
Nowadays, these two professions have long since disappeared, so the pig butcher is the only one who can still hold a life-taking knife. However, that sharp knife was unexpectedly taken away last night, and the doll's soul was also pulled back. The first thing that came to Zhang Wenbin's mind was whether there were any refined ghosts of the Xiu Gui Dao present here.
A large group of people, armed with iron hoes, pickaxes, axes and柴刀, marched towards Lion Mountain. This group of about twenty young men had never believed the old folks' tales that the mountain was haunted, but they had been warned by their families since childhood not to go there. Today, they were finally going up the mountain, all feeling quite excited, each wanting to see what made this mountain so special that it could be seen as soon as one opened the door.
When Cha Wenbin first examined the feng shui, he used a compass to observe the feng shui of this area. Except for the land where He Lao was buried, which was a small green dragon, there wasn't any other good land. Because Lion Mountain was too far away, it wasn't in his plans from the beginning, so he hadn't examined it carefully. Now that he had arrived at the foot of the mountain, Cha Wenbin took a deep breath!
This mountain really looks majestic, with a square shape, rising straight from the ground and piercing the sky. But judging from its appearance, this momentum is not ordinary. The trend of the mountain top is flat, without any ups and downs, but there are two small triangular peaks on both sides of the mountain, which is different from the usual mountain that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. If this mountain didn't have those two triangular peaks, if a piece of land was opened in the middle of the mountain to bury something, then future generations would be able to become marquises or kings, this kind of mountain momentum can be said to be rare; but like the one in front of us now with two triangular peaks on both sides is even more rarely seen, Zha Wenbin has only seen it in books.
Zha Wenbin took out his compass and began to walk back and forth at the foot of the mountain, stopping every few steps to recalculate his direction. His brow furrowed more and more tightly as he walked, until he finally returned and said: "Xun Wei Shen Shan Gui Jie Cang, Xin Xu Ju Chou Geng Ma Xiang, Zhen Gen Feng Ding Jia Jian Bing, Ren Hou Gan Tu Bing Xin Fang. Kan Gui Feng She Si Wu Ji, Ding You Feng Yin Kun Hai Yi, Long Hu Yu Yang Yi Hou Jie, Xi Niu Long Wei Yong Bu Li."
"I don't understand, Wenbin." Zhu Xiong replied very honestly.
Zha Wenbin sighed and said, "If Old He were here, it would be even better." "What does this mountain look like?" he asked Zhuo Xiong.
Zhuo Xiong looked at it for a long time before saying: "It's a bit like a tripod, this mountain also has two ears."
"This mountain has dragon energy, but the dragon's trend is like a horizontal case, anyone buried here will definitely cut off their children and grandchildren. I dare say that there are no ancestors in Wangzhuang who were buried here, otherwise, there would be no one alive in the village. This mountain was originally a feng shui treasure land, belonging to the sitting mountain disaster, which means it can resolve all disasters. However, when considering the auspiciousness of the mountain, it has nothing to do with its trend, but only avoids one mountain. If there are no mountains around it and it is isolated here, it's fine, but what's most feared is that its three positions, Xun, Wei, and Shen, each have a mountain. If they do, the disaster will turn into a flying disaster, making the originally auspicious Lion Mountain become the most ferocious position in this area! This kind of feng shui is extremely rare to see, turning what was originally a great auspicious land into a great disaster. Therefore, people who are half-informed often choose to bury here in this seemingly good spot, only to end up cutting off their children and grandchildren!"
