Hearing what the old man said touched He Jianfei's heartstrings. He vaguely heard someone say that there was a very evil prescription spread in the south, which was said to be able to stay young forever. His face darkened at that moment: "Dead baby" Soup?" The old man nodded and said: "Yes, you have heard of it too. Lafayette has been using this recipe all the time. In the past, he was more restrained and did not dare to blatantly take people. He only looked for the kind of quarrelsome Jiujiu people. Later, as I got older and drank more soup, the ingredients gradually ran out, so I just took them from people. That is really a heinous crime." Old Man Li was shocked: "Isn't it? How could it be possible? Such a cruel and inhumane method?" He Jianfei said: "I heard that the dead baby soup is eaten directly with the skin and flesh. If so, how can there be any corpses?" The old man said: "That is an ordinary recipe, Lafayette. That one is an improved one. Just take a live baby and hold it in your chest before it dies before it comes out. What comes out is the essence. Then take a bunch of precious Chinese medicinal materials and boil it into soup, and the corpse will be dead. It's useless and can be thrown away. It's because of this that Lafayette always looks like her skin is as smooth as when she was a royal concubine."
After these words were spoken, He Jianfei and Old Man Li both felt extremely sick and wanted to vomit. He Jianfei reluctantly asked: "Then what does this dead baby have to do with your family?" The old man said: "You think about such shameless things? We have to deal with the aftermath. The eunuchs originally wanted to transport it out by themselves, but Lafayette said that it was because the people in the palace did not do it well for outsiders to see, so he asked an outsider to send it out and bury it, so he found my family. My ancestors were originally not alive or dead. Those who are willing to take this job, think about it, even if we didn’t kill the baby, helping them cover up their crimes is still a swindle. The King of Hell has remembered it below. Later, I couldn’t help but threaten the superiors, saying that if I didn’t do it, not only would I not be given the money, We sold pigs and had to ransack our homes. They also promised us a piece of land specifically for burying corpses. If we don’t do this in the future, you can sell the land. Under such inducement and coercion, my ancestors sacrificed their lives for the sake of the entire family. To make a living, we had no choice but to agree. But this agreement laid the foundation for great disaster in the future, and our family paid an extremely heavy price. Our ancestors have always regretted it, crying and saying that if they had known this, they would have preferred to behead their heads. never mind."
He Jianfei said: "This doesn't make sense. Since your family helped Lafayette do this, she should think more highly of you. Not to mention that she will rely on you to continue to deal with the aftermath in the future? How come you all end up here?" The old man said: "We have always been in peace and harmony, but one day, suddenly there were rumors that the palace was eating dead infant soup. There is no smoke without fire for this thing. If a fly does not hold a seamless egg, sooner or later it will not be wrapped in paper. Stop the fire and poke it out. Lafayette couldn't control so much. In anger, he started to investigate. In order to save their lives, the eunuchs all unanimously framed us and said that there was a problem on our side. Then an imperial edict came down to punish our nine tribes. He Jianfei said: "I know, you must have come here to escape for your lives." The old man said: "That's right, my entire ancestors fled here overnight, threatening to dig up the corpses if they dared to kill us." , tell the world. Lafayette sent soldiers to kill us, but the Qing soldiers believed in these things. How could they dare to go there? We had no choice but to warn us that our lives could be spared, but we could not leave the village for generations, nor could we follow other people outside the village. If they marry, they will be killed without mercy. Our family has settled down in this place."
He Jianfei sneered and said: "I'm afraid you can't live in peace? There are so many resentful spirits who died tragically buried down there, especially the infant spirits, which are the most terrifying of all the resentful spirits." The old man sighed: "Who says it's not the case? Every night. You can hear the sound of children crying, crying straight into your heart. Your scalp is numb, your body is frozen and unable to move, and then people begin to die one after another, in large areas. Originally, our tribe had a very strong penis, three to four hundred There were more than a hundred people gone in an instant, and there were an average of ten funerals every day, so people began to lose heart and panic, and everyone rushed to my door to cry, saying that they would rather go out and die after being tortured like this." Old Man Li said curiously: "Then how did you solve it?" the old man said, "I don't know if it's my family's luck or misfortune. There happens to be one person in the family who is extremely obsessed with Feng Shui. He doesn't care about doing business or being an official or taking the imperial examination. He just does it every day. Studying those Feng Shui diagrams at home, his family members called him a prodigal son, and after a long time everyone called him Mr. Feng Shui. Whenever someone said something about him, he would always look at humanity and say: "Just wait, if our family does this, sooner or later there will be a big problem." "Jie, I'm here to save everyone and that's why I'm working so hard." He was crazy and no one paid attention to him. I don't know if it was a coincidence or he was right. Our family fell from the sky to the earth in an instant. "
He Jianfei smiled and said to Old Man Li: "There are many capable people and strangers among the people. You must have gone to find that Feng Shui master?" The old man said: "I went to find him immediately. He came here carelessly and just said One sentence: "The evil spirit here is very serious and needs to be suppressed." My ancestor asked him how to suppress it. He said, if there are not many people dead now, build a cemetery and use the feng shui of the cemetery to suppress it. This is called fighting poison with poison. When people in our family die, It is also a wasted death, and there are evil spirits, but the evil spirits are not as strong as those of other families, so we have to rely on the feng shui of the cemetery to adjust them. If they are strong enough, we can keep our family peaceful forever, because there will always be people who die of old age and illness." He Jianfei said: "This is Yes, you naturally followed the instructions." The old man said: "No, is there any other way? Later, a lot of construction work began to build the cemetery, and the second photo in the box is after the construction was completed."
When He Jianfei hurriedly took it out, he saw the same few people, but instead of a desolate open space behind them, there were endless tombs built against the mountains, forming an extremely strange encirclement. He Jianfei said: "This person is powerful. If I read it correctly, this formation should be the power of dragon vein. Although this place is not dragon vein, you are not used for power. The dragon head is downward, which is meant to shock the underworld. It seems that this Mr. Feng Shui is well-deserved, and he has put Feng Shui to good use. Although I have very little research in this area, but judging from this posture, he must be an expert. Now you should be at peace, right?" The old man said: "If you are at peace, then that's it. There is nothing like today. After the construction of this tomb mound, it is true that a lot fewer people died, but people still died every week, and what is even more terrifying is that cracks appeared on many tomb mounds. After repairing them, the next day It cracked again, and there were many ancient vines that came out of nowhere and clung to the tombstones. We dug for a long time and still couldn't find the roots of those vines. Then people kept saying that they were being entrusted with dreams. He said that it was very uncomfortable to have his whole body tied up so that he could not breathe. My ancestor panicked and hurriedly invited the Feng Shui master to come and discuss it. He said doubtfully: "This is strange. I have calculated how many babies you have buried." This tomb mound is the strongest force and cannot be suppressed. Unless there is something strange about this land, it is better to find out more about it.' So a few people from the clan were sent out in disguise to get information. As a result, this Snooping, making everyone gasp.”
He Jianfei asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?" The old man said: "When we were granted the land, an official was in charge. He was not willing to give us a piece of land for free, so he did something to it. This land It was originally a place of infant corpses!" "What?!" He Jianfei and Old Man Li were both shocked: "It was originally a place of infant corpses?" The old man nodded and sighed: "In the past, when foreigners came in, people died everywhere, and they were poor at that time. After they gave birth to children, they couldn't feed them, and many died of hunger or illness. According to local customs, those who died were not buried in front of their homes, but had to be buried far away. The terrain in Aotou Village is remote. , and it was surrounded by mountains. Many people were transported here, and they had no money to buy coffins, so they had to use straw to sweep them in. Some of them didn't even have straw mats. As time went by, everyone knew that a great famine occurred. Countless babies and children who starved to death were all transported here and buried. This land has been a burial ground for infant corpses since a long time ago, and there is no one else within 500 miles of Aotou Village. This is because everyone knows that there is no one left. People dare to live nearby." He Jianfei and Old Man Li looked at each other and said, "If this is the case, then even the power of Dragon Vein cannot be suppressed. I am afraid that even if the King of Hell comes in person, he may not be able to buy it."
The old man said: "When we came back from inquiring about the news, everyone was panicked. The women were crying, and the men gathered together and smoked sadly. My ancestor went to find the Feng Shui master. He looked up and cried: 'Heaven will destroy our clan, God will destroy our people. My clan!" My ancestor cried and begged him to continue to think of a way. He said with tears: "It's not that there is no way, it's just very vicious, and in order to suppress this place, we have to sow injustice. Why bother? If the injustice keeps growing, even if we can suppress it, "Stay, in the long run, we will all be wiped out. In this case, it is better to die now." My ancestor said: "As long as there is a way, no matter how vicious it is, try it. The lives of the entire clan are hanging on by a thread." . Keep the green hills and don’t worry about running out of firewood. It doesn’t matter if you sow the evil, as long as the person survives, you can slowly find a way to deal with it in the future. Can you bear to watch your relatives die miserably one by one, and there will be no peace after death? Is that so?' He lowered his head for a long time and sighed: 'I learned this Feng Shui originally to save people, but now I want to harm people. God, I have no choice.'" He Jianfei sneered: "It's just those boxes. What happened? You can really do it!" The old man asked: "What if it were you? Just watch people die in vain? Isn't this a sin? Besides, it is natural to save one's relatives. When it comes to your parents, You are dead, you are crying and howling, you have no sense at all, you just want to save. Aren't there many people who know that there is no chance of saving but still throw money away to prolong their lives?" He Jianfei was speechless after what he said. Thinking about it, I never thought of suppressing Dongyao in the first place. It seems that fate plays tricks on people, and there are many things in the world that even compassion cannot solve.
Old Man Li said: "Brother, please go on." The old man continued: "My ancestor asked the Feng Shui master what he could do, and the Feng Shui master said: 'It's not difficult to suppress it. Aren't all the babies buried underneath? We have buried a few." My ancestor said: "We have buried several, but they have not recovered. Do we have to bury them all?" He sneered: "I am not talking about the kind of people who died inexplicably. Those who were buried, I mean we just killed them and buried them." His words were shocking, and everyone was stunned. Although they were mentally prepared to do evil things, killing their own children was really a big deal. This kind of cruel torture. My ancestors were puzzled: 'Why do we need to do it?' He was silent for a long time and then said: 'Those buried were those who died of illness without money for medical treatment, or who died of starvation without money for food, so the evil spirit is very strong. If you want to defeat them, you must work hard on the aspect of death. What can be more painful and hateful than being killed by your own relatives? Not only must you do it yourself, but you must also tell them that you deliberately killed them. Make them hate you to the core." My ancestor broke into a cold sweat and said, "It's just that this baby is unconscious, how can it understand it?" The man said, "It's unconscious now, but it will be understood after it becomes a baby spirit." He Jianfei had goosebumps all over his body: "Even if you put a knife to my neck, I wouldn't be able to do such a thing."
The old man continued to tell: "My ancestor said: 'If this is really the only way to save our entire clan, it is not impossible to do it, but there is one thing I don't understand. When you built the tomb mound before, you said it was for Let our people suppress their evil spirits, and naturally we can protect the whole clan. But now if we kill those babies with our own hands, and they will hate us, even if the evil spirits can suppress them, how can they protect us?" The man said: "Of course this baby The method is another way. It is not simply to kill and bury the problem. There is a leftist school in Feng Shui that specializes in treating evil spirits. Among them, there are some ancient formations that have been handed down from the people. They can Concentrate the evil energy to resist the enemy, but at the same time restrain its resentment, just like Dayu controlling the water, directing it continuously, cleverly twisting and turning, and keeping it so as not to hurt his own people but suppress them.' My ancestor heard this and said happily: ' Since there is such a good way, it must be done. At present, there is nothing more important than saving the lives of the entire clan." The man sneered and said, "You think about it first before you boast. If you do this, the entire clan will be safe." People are indeed temporarily saved, but those of us who do things have committed a heinous crime. If we go down there, we will not only suffer, but also sink into the realm of evil ghosts and never be reincarnated. In addition, I have already said that this matter After all, it is not a long-term solution. If the formation is broken in the future, or the infant spirit breaks through the blockade, or if the descendants of our clan inflict evil on others to avenge this injustice, the clan will be exterminated sooner or later.' My ancestor thought for a long time and sighed. He said: "I can only think of a solution in the future. If I have to watch the death of my clan members now, I would have no shame to go and meet my ancestors. But now there are more than a dozen babies in the clan. Isn't it possible to kill them all?" The man said : 'Of course not. When I calculate the year of birth, the one with the stronger yin is naturally the best. Just choose six. Choose a rosewood box to put it in, bury it in the designated place, and the formation will be completed.' My ancestor said again :'I don't know how to kill? I just hope it's as peaceful as possible.' The man said: 'We have to suppress the evil spirit, but how can we do it peacefully? - I'm afraid it's the most vicious killing method you have ever heard, and it's the same as the most vicious killing method you have ever heard. The soup of the dead that Lafayette drank has the same purpose." My ancestor was shocked and said: "Could it be that they are going to be locked in a box and suffocated to death?" The man said: "Exactly, this is the only way, the hatred of the infant spirit Only in this way can the box be the strongest. Therefore, the box is the key, and it must be excellent and airtight.' My ancestors were just dumbfounded, and for a long time, there was nothing they could do."
He Jianfei said: "Now that the plan has been made, you should implement it. Killing these six babies will ensure the peace of your village for generations, but these boxes were dug out recently. I heard that there have always been problems with this land. , Could it be that something went wrong during your suppression?" The old man sighed: "That's exactly what happened. Mr. Feng Shui asked for the birth dates of each baby when he went back, because this matter is extremely secretive, except for a few people. Everyone is completely unaware that my ancestor only said that he would explain it to everyone after the formation was completed. Because he calculated that there were six babies, he deceived them under various pretexts and put them in boxes. Unexpectedly, one of them ran into trouble. That baby was Born to a widowed widow, the only lifeline was naturally cherished and cherished, and she wished she could put it in her mouth to melt it. That day my ancestors went to fetch the baby, and it happened that the baby had a fever and was sick, and they were in a hurry to ask a doctor for treatment. I My ancestor went to their house and saw a commotion. He didn't expect to be so ill. He ran out of excuses for a while and said after a while that he knew a good doctor and wanted to take the baby to see a doctor. The widow had never left the baby since he was born. I want to follow, but my ancestor said no, there are a lot of men in that place, it is inconvenient for you to show your face. The widow refused to die, saying that the man was gone anyway, and this face was used to raise children, so why are you afraid of so many ? I had to follow because I was afraid that in case I could see the child for the last time. My ancestors had no choice but to come back. The five babies had long been suffocated to death. The Feng Shui master said: "The matter must be done as soon as possible. If it is delayed any longer, Go down. When their corpses are all rotten, this formation will be useless. Can't we kill six more? Besides, we can't find such a good birth day." My ancestor said: "The child is seriously ill, woman If you have to follow me, why don't I allow it? Can you find someone else to take your place?" The man said, "It is estimated that it will take several days. How can we delay it? We must find a way no matter what. If we keep delaying, we are afraid that the power of this formation will weaken. It's better to have a new death." My ancestor said: "I don't want to delay it, but I just have no choice." The man sneered and said: "You have done such a vicious thing, and you are afraid of doing one more. ?' My ancestor knew what he meant. He was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: 'I will do anything for the sake of the whole clan, and I will go underground to plead guilty for them.'"
