When Lao Qian heard this question, a trace of vigilance flashed across his face. Just then someone walked by, so he shut up. After the person walked away, he asked me again: "Nephew, how did you find out about this? And how did you know that I had a fight with the five ghosts last night?"
I realized that if I didn't tell him the truth, he certainly wouldn't tell me the truth either, so I told him, "I followed the Five Ghosts here last night, but I hid behind a tree and didn't dare to show my face."
Old Qian looked at me with admiration. He knew it was the Five Ghosts, but he still dared to follow them. This really requires courage. He pondered for a moment and said, "This Five Ghosts' Chaos is also the most powerful skill of the Five Ghosts. They must have taken a fancy to the remains of the mountain-moving god under the Shijiazi Temple. They want to get them, so they put in so much effort."
I was stunned: "What do they want the remains for?"
Now it was Lao Qian's turn to be proud. There was something unknown to the heir of the ghost story, which made him feel proud. He chuckled and said, "You know the Five Ghosts Mixing Heaven Technique. It requires the use of five skeletons to summon five ghost substitutes. But the ritual focuses on the skeletons. The greater the status of the corpse in life, the more powerful the five ghost substitutes will be. The five skeletons in the tomb can only dig a hole and dig some soil with the Five Ghosts Mixing Heaven Technique. They can't do anything big.
"If you want to be able to move mountains and seas, you need divine bones. The so-called divine bones are like the bones of the gods who moved mountains in the legend of Shijiazi Temple. That's enough. But the remains of these gods are the bones of our ancestors in Shijiazi Temple. How could we let outsiders steal them and use them for evil? So after I found out about this, I have been fighting with these five ghosts. They have been trying for almost a month, but they still haven't been able to successfully dig up the divine bones.
"In fact, I pretended to have a stroke and fell into a coma the day before yesterday. It was also because I was injured in the fight with the five ghosts the night before, and I had to rest. Otherwise, I calculated that Brother Lu Fei was in trouble, and it was impossible for me not to help. Besides, life is determined by heaven, and I can't change it."
Hey, the old man brought the topic back to Brother Lu Fei. Just then, someone came to look for him, and the old man left in a hurry.
I found that what the old man said was not entirely true. I think that the five ghosts digging holes and moving soil is not as simple as getting the divine bone. Besides, I know this stuff. The greater the status of the skeleton in his lifetime, the more powerful the five ghost substitutes he will attract, but I have never heard of the divine bone. Besides, it is useless to just get a divine bone. The five ghosts need to work together to move soil. If there is only one powerful one, it will not be of much use, because the imbalance of ability will make things worse.
It seemed that Lao Qian had a real secret in his heart that he hadn't told me yet, and he was just trying to fool me. I thought to myself that after all, I was an outsider, so I would let him ask the master himself after Brother Lu Fei was buried.
The villagers helped to cook a big pot of hele noodles, which is also a famous Shanxi delicacy, but it is a common noodle dish in the local area. After everyone squatted on the ground and ate with their bowls, Lao Qian saw that the time had come, so he said that those whose zodiac signs conflicted with Brother Lu Fei's birth date should leave, and the deceased should be put into the coffin and buried.
Brother Lu Fei never had any offspring, so why should we ask? It was impossible for Liu Lingnu to give birth to a child. So Lu Fei acted as a filial son, holding his brother's head, the neighbors helped lift his feet, I held up the parasol, and carried the body into the coffin. Then I strung copper coins with red thread and hung the thread to see if the body was in the correct position.
At this moment, a woman's cry was heard from outside the door, followed by a figure rushing into the mourning shed, throwing herself on the coffin and crying loudly.
We were all stunned. Could it be that Lu Fei's relatives had come? We turned around and saw this woman. Damn it, we immediately got goose bumps all over our bodies. It was Lu Fei's sister-in-law!
Wasn't she killed by Lao Qian? How did she come back to life? Did Zhang Yunfeng steal the wooden man from Lao Qian's house and use it to revive him
The neighbors didn't know that Lu Fei's sister-in-law was not a real person. They all thought that this woman was unfaithful and was still having an affair outside after her husband died. But this was the Lu family's family affair after all. They just looked at this woman with contempt and indignation, but no one said anything.
Lu Fei was stunned for a moment, then looked up at his master beside him, who was also confused. But then he kicked the woman out of the mourning shed with an angry look on his face.
"You devil, how dare you come back? My brother is being buried now, so I don't have time to deal with you. I'll burn you later and see if you can come back to life!"
Old Qian also stared at the woman with wide eyes and whispered to the two of us: "I burned the wooden man yesterday, how come he is alive?"
When we heard this, we were all shocked. The wooden man had already been burned, so how could he be resurrected? We stared at this woman in amazement. Her appearance and eyes were exactly the same. What was going on
I just heard the woman lying on the ground crying, "Xiao Fei, you wronged me. Five years ago, I was abducted and sold to Henan, and I just came back today. When I entered the village, I heard that your eldest brother had died, wuwu..."
All the neighbors present were stunned, and we couldn't help but look at each other. Damn it, it turns out that Lu Fei's sister-in-law really existed, but was kidnapped five years ago and replaced by a girl named Liu Ling.
Old Qian winked at me, and I knew what he meant. Because he was too old to examine a woman carefully, the job of verifying the authenticity was left to me. So I handed the parasol to a young man behind me, walked out of the mourning shed, and helped her up with pretended pity: "Sister-in-law, please speak slowly, there may be a misunderstanding between you two."
The woman stood up and cried, "Five years ago, a man from the county town came to my house to tease me. I scolded him and he left. The next day, he took advantage of your eldest brother's absence from the orchard and kidnapped me. They... wuwu... sold me to Henan..."
She skipped a plot in the middle, but it was clear that she was definitely insulted by that man. But it sounded quite mysterious. A man in the county town came to tease her. Wasn't that very similar to Ximen Qing teasing Pan Jinlian? The only difference was that after being abused by someone, she was sold to a foreign land. It was quite tragic.
At this time, Lao Qian and Lu Fei winked at me, asking me how I was. I nodded to them, indicating that this woman was a real living person. Just now, I held her little hand, which was warm to the touch, and I did not miss her hand lines and some changes in her eyes. Now I don't find anything unusual. If it is not a real person, then the magician is too powerful and has created another Liu Lingnu who is more real than a real person!
Lu Fei immediately changed his previous anger and cried with guilt: "Sister-in-law, it turns out that you have suffered all these years. I didn't know the inside story and thought that after my eldest brother died, you didn't care about his funeral."
The eldest sister-in-law limped back to the mourning shed crying, rubbing her eyes and sobbing, "How did your eldest brother die?"
I was looking at her from behind in the mourning shed, and suddenly, I felt something strange in my heart. I couldn't remember what was wrong, so I looked at her from head to toe. Damn, it turned out that something was wrong!
