The old man went on to say that a few days later, when he went to do farm work, he deliberately passed by the grave and found that the grave had been moved. He knew that the masked man must have been here. A few years passed by, and after the □□ ended, the countryside began to quietly build temples to worship the gods, of course, the scale was much smaller. The new head of Shuiliu Village was more superstitious and wanted to rebuild the Beidi Temple. It happened that a wandering Feng Shui master came to Shuiliu Village and told the head of the village that the Beidi Temple had been abandoned for a long time and the site was occupied by Yang Xian. A Yang Xian Temple should be built, otherwise Yang Xian would have no land to occupy and Shuiliu Village would be in trouble.
The fortune teller also drew the four corners of the Yangxian Temple on the ruins of the Beidi Temple, and built it according to this pattern. Before leaving, the fortune teller also said that the tomb had been invaded by the Yin Qi of the poplar tree for a long time, and the body in the coffin had become a fierce corpse. The tomb could not be moved or the coffin could not be opened, otherwise there would be a disaster.
I believe this because the poplar trees make a rustling sound when the wind blows, which is called "ghost clapping". Although they are not as yin as willow and locust trees, it is also a big taboo.
But the fortune teller arranged it this way, intentionally to create a trap, with ulterior motives. I was moved, so I asked the old man: "What does the fortune teller look like? Is he the masked man who killed Xiaofang?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I was not at home at the time, and I heard what others said when I came back. So when I heard that they were going to dig a grave here tonight, I rushed over to stop it."
Luo Yushan asked in surprise: "I didn't dare tell anyone, how did you know that the grave was going to be dug tonight?"
The old man lowered his head and said after a long while: "I have been hiding at the edge of the village since dark."
"Are you afraid that digging out this ghost corpse will expose the truth that you killed Qiangzi?" I sneered.
The old fellow shuddered, his throat rolling, but he dared not speak. It seemed that he really thought so.
At this time, the ghost corpse screamed again from the grave. It had screamed many times while the old man was telling the story. I kept counting in my mind. This was the tenth scream. I wondered how many more screams it would have to make before Xiaoxue could subdue it.
Shen Bing looked at the old man and angrily asked, "Why did you kill your own nephew?"
Under our aggressive gazes, the old man confessed and was lenient. The reason was very simple, so simple that it surprised us. He had two sons, but his family was poor and had only one house. Seeing that they were almost of marriageable age, without an extra house, it would be difficult for his sons to find wives. So he set his eyes on his own brother's house.
Then he remembered that after Xiaofang died, people often heard crying near the Yangxian Temple. He also heard from Lao Huai in Xiping Village that the temple was contaminated with evil spirits and could not be entered at night. He made up his mind and tricked his nephew away one afternoon. He played outside the village for half a day and locked him in the temple after dark. He secretly watched from the side, planning to find his brother and push them into the temple together to be entangled to death by Xiaofang's ghost.
Unexpectedly, the brothers did not come here to look for them, but came here the next morning. As a result, the nephew unexpectedly became stupid. He came up with another plan. Because the news that his nephew was possessed by evil spirits and became stupid in the temple was widely spread in the village, he ran to Xiping Village and asked Lao Huai to use a ghost to kill the brothers. In this way, everyone thought that it was the evil spirit in Qiangzi, and no one suspected him.
Damn, this old guy is actually connected to Lao Huai. He heard that the temple was contaminated with evil spirits from the evil tombs, and he knew about the flying eaves and piercing the heart. And Luo Yushan, didn't this guy learn evil magic from Lao Huai in his early years
When I looked at Luo Yushan, the boy was quite clever and quickly shook his head and said, "I really don't know what happened between them. I learned a few tricks from Lao Huai more than ten years ago, and then helped to lure the ghost boy from this grave. I haven't had any contact with him since then."
