The next morning, I got up late, at about twelve o'clock in the afternoon. This was mainly because the Yang energy is at its strongest at noon, and the abilities of demons and monsters will be weakened a lot by the Yang energy. When I went out, I saw that the sun was indeed directly overhead.
Then I ate something at Chen Lei's house, took my stuff and went out. Xiaoxiang's grave was in the southwest of the village, far away from the village, and it took about twenty minutes to walk there. Xiaoxiang was buried in a dense forest. I followed Chen Lei into the dense forest, but the strange thing was that after entering on a hot day, I felt an inexplicable chill. This feeling was not the chill you feel when ghosts approach, but an inexplicable feeling, as if you were outside at a temperature of 38 degrees and suddenly walked into an air-conditioned room with a temperature of 26 degrees.
I shivered all over, and so did Chen Lei.
"Was this forest like this when Xiaoxiang was buried?" I thought of a possibility and suddenly turned around and asked.
"No, I remember this forest was very hot at that time. How could it become like this?" Chen Lei said in confusion.
I squatted down and cut a tree with a knife, and found that red liquid was flowing out of it. It looked like blood. I suddenly felt a chill on my back. I was shocked. What the hell is this? It's so weird.
I immediately took out some cow's tears, wiped them on my eyes, and then handed them to Chen Lei to open his eyes. But after opening his eyes, we were both dumbfounded. There were countless red ropes hanging on the big trees in the forest, swaying on the branches, which looked very weird.
I gave Chen Lei a wink, and we both retreated decisively. After all, we didn't know what was so strange about this forest, so it was better to be cautious.
"Comrade police officer, can you tell me what's going on in this forest? It feels so weird." Chen Lei asked, grabbing his hair.
I thought about it and asked, "Who chose the cemetery for Xiaoxiang's burial? Let's go ask them."
Chen Lei thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the village chief chose it at that time. He said that this piece of land could suppress evil or something."
"Okay, let's go find the village chief." I said, then turned around and walked towards the village. As a village chief, he should have some knowledge about the existence of such a strange place not far from his village, otherwise why would he let Xiaoxiang be buried here? This means that he also has some knowledge about this place.
I went to the village chief's house with Chen Lei again. I knocked on the door and heard a cough from inside. "Who is it?"
"I'm a policeman from the city. I'm here to visit you and ask you a few questions." As I said that, I found that the door was not locked, so I pushed it and went in. Chen Lei followed behind me.
"Ask me a question? What question? I know nothing." Suddenly the villager shouted excitedly in the house. I was moved. It turned out that there was something fishy about this old man, otherwise why would he react so strongly
"It's not anything else, it's Xiaoxiang's matter. You should have heard about what happened yesterday, Village Chief. Now I just want to ask you what's going on with the place where Xiaoxiang was buried." I walked into the village's bedroom. It was quite dark, and the village chief was lying in bed.
"The place where Xiaoxiang was buried is a good place. What happened?" The village chief became puzzled and asked me.
I thought about it and said, "To be honest, I actually suspect that Xiaoxiang's turning into a ghost is related to that piece of land. Brother Chen and I went to see it today and it was so weird. As the village chief, you should know something about it." Then I described the situation of the forest to the village chief.
The village chief stared with disbelief and said, "No way, Mr. Liu said that place can suppress evil spirits."
After hearing what the village chief said, I was moved. Mr. Liu, could he be my master? This place is also called Hongye Village. The village chief was also surprised when he heard that I was called Wu Jiu. Could this really be the place where I was born? What about my parents? However, I still didn't point it out on the spot, mainly because I was worried that the village chief would not admit it. Looking at the village chief's words and deeds, it seemed that he wanted to conceal this matter.
I pretended to know nothing and asked, "Mr. Liu? Is he the Yin-Yang Master? What did he say back then?"
The village chief looked at me. I don’t know if my acting skills are really good. Anyway, the village chief felt that I really didn’t know anything. After thinking for a while, he said, “This matter has to start from more than ten years ago. One day more than ten years ago, a villager in our village dug up a strange thing.”
"What a strange thing. What is that?" I was basically certain in my heart that this village should be the village where I was born.
"Ahem, it was a dead baby. Anyway, it made their family restless. Then the villager found Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu was kind-hearted and fought with the dead baby for several days. In the end, he had no choice but to seal the dead baby away."
"Where is that villager?" I asked anxiously.
"Dead." The village chief looked up at the ceiling and said.
"Dead? How did they die?" Although I had already felt that my parents were dead, I still felt disappointed when I heard the news. And the matter should not be as simple as the village chief said, otherwise why would he keep hiding the truth
"It's very complicated. There's no point in explaining it. What happened to that piece of land?" asked the village chief.
"The dead baby is sealed in that forest?" I asked the village chief.
The village chief nodded and said, "That's right. Xiaoxiang jumped into the water and died unjustly. I was afraid that she would become a ghost. At that time, Mr. Liu told me that the place could suppress evil spirits, so I asked the villagers to bury Xiaoxiang there."
I got a headache when I heard this. I've heard from my master before that the place where ghosts are sealed should not be touched casually, as it is easy to break the seal. It seems that they accidentally broke the seal when they were digging the grave.
"How powerful is this ghost baby? Village chief, please give me a brief description of it. You should have some understanding of what happened when Mr. Liu fought the ghost baby." I said to the village chief.
"I don't know, I really don't know. Anyway, Mr. Liu said that the ghost baby could kill our entire village by itself. At that time, even Mr. Liu had to spend a lot of effort to seal it." said the village chief.
"Where does Mr. Liu come from? Does the village chief know? Tell me, I'm quite curious." I asked the village chief, because from the tone of the village chief it sounded as if he knew my master very well, but my understanding of my master was obviously not enough. I only knew that his last name was Liu, and the master did not tell me anything else.
"Do you know what title those people outside gave to Mr. Liu?" The village chief suddenly said to me.
"Village chief, tell me." Although I was very polite, I was unhappy with you in my heart. How would I know what my master's title was? Why did I feel that this was weird? You didn't even know your own master's title.
"There was a saying in the supernatural circle back then: In the north, there is Mao Linlong, who is good at suppressing demons and killing ghosts, and in the south, there is Liu Boqing, the master of divination." said the village chief.
"The village chief must be a man who has seen the world. He must not have always stayed in this small village." I said to the village chief. If he had really stayed in the village all his life, how could he know all this.
As for the fact that in the north there is Mao Linlong, who is a master of suppressing demons and slayer of ghosts, and in the south there is Liu Boqing, the master of divination, this sentence is easy to understand. I have heard of Mao Linlong, he is a ghost-catching master in Beijing, a very awesome figure. And the latter sentence, Liu Boqing, the master of divination, should be referring to my master.
"Haha, that happened many years ago. At that time, the divine fortune teller could calculate all the causes and effects in the world, knowing the past and the future. He was really amazing."
"Is Mr. Liu really that awesome?" I was stunned. From what the village chief said, my master should be an extremely awesome person, but how come he only opened a ghost shop? You know, Mao Linlong is already a multi-millionaire with his own abilities.
"Little brother, do you really think it's good to know the past and the future? For example, you know that a person will die, but you can't stop it. You calculate who will die tomorrow, then he will definitely die, and it cannot be changed." The village chief suddenly said.
"It seems that the village chief knows a lot. Is he also an expert?" I asked the village chief.
"What an expert! At that time, Mr. Liu lived in our village and chatted with me every day, so he knew a lot. Mr. Liu was also very miserable. He knew that his wife and children would die, but he couldn't change it. Alas." The village chief sighed and said.
"What? Mr. Liu has a wife and children?" I said puzzledly. Didn't the master say that he had no wife and that he lived on a small hill outside the village? It seemed that the master's story also concealed a lot of things from me.
