This time, the matter was really weird. What on earth was that dirty thing? It even stumped Qingyi, the little Taoist priest.
"Forget it, I can't figure it out!"
Finally, I was a little annoyed, so I simply waved my hand: "There must be a way out when you reach the mountain. Now there is no clue. I will go there to see it in person. Who knows, there will be something to gain! Last time when we met that white powder woman, we were also in the dark, but in the end, the matter was still resolved satisfactorily? In my opinion, there are all kinds of strange things in this world, and people die in all kinds of strange ways. It is not too much to have some dirty things that we have never seen or extremely rare dirty things, so let's be open-minded!"
I said this to liven up the atmosphere, mainly to comfort Li Jiajia's heart. A little girl ran all the way from Shanxi to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi just to avenge her father. She was turned away by the Tiandao League for more than ten days. Finally, she saw that we were willing to help her solve the problem. If we showed a dejected look, how big a blow it would be for the girl?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jinya, the bastard, didn't understand my intention at all, and actually grinned and started to make trouble: "I told you kid to stop bragging, okay? You still look so free and easy. When I dealt with that white powder woman last time, I don't know who used her as bait to scare her so hard that she kept screaming?"
This bastard...
I hate this kind of people who jump out and slap me in the face when I'm showing off in front of girls. I almost cursed at that time, and said with a gloomy face: "Do you know that a man will be revisited after three days of absence? If I hadn't used the magic of summoning Bai Erye in the Qinling ancient tomb, you wouldn't know where you are now dead in that corner!"
"Oh, yes, how could I forget this The kid is a master at summoning spirits!"
When Fatty Wu heard me scold Zhang Jinya, his eyes lit up and he laughed, "This way, Fatty is relieved. This kid has that skill and this time he probably has a fighting chance. Although this summoning skill is extremely harmful to the body, it is also a life-saving skill! No matter what the ghost thing is, since it is a dead person, it cannot escape the punishment of the ten Yin Shuai. As long as Brother Xiaotian summons another Yin Shuai, the matter will not be solved satisfactorily? Extraordinary times require extraordinary means!"
Fat Wu's words made the people with me nod their heads repeatedly, and they were relieved immediately, and they also had a certain degree of confidence in my solo mission this time.
At this time, I suddenly remembered a very important question, so I asked Qingyi: "By the way, I just talked about the murder of Li He. I still know nothing about the mission he took in Wuwang Village. This time I go to complete the test, and I have to solve the matter of Wuwang Village. What happened there? Do you know?"
"I have checked it for you before coming. The case should not be too difficult."
Qingyi said: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a case of ghosts playing tricks on people. It doesn't feel like something with too much evil spirit. Otherwise, the case in Wuwang Village would not have been delayed until now, and someone would have died long ago."
Next, Qingyi told me about the case in Wuwang Village in detail.
This matter probably started when Wuwang Village celebrated the Qingming Festival.
Qingming Festival, as we all know, is the traditional Chinese day to worship ancestors. On this day, according to Chinese traditional customs, every family has to go to the ancestral tomb to burn paper money for the deceased ancestors.
However, in Wuwang Village, there is not only burning paper money for the ancestors, but also another tradition - that is, on the night of Qingming Festival, the family must set up a table of delicious food. In addition to the seats for family members, there will be a few empty seats for the deceased people in the family. The meaning is self-evident, that is, to have a meal with the deceased ancestors in the family. Because Wuwang Village has always had a legend, that is, in addition to the Ghost Festival on July 15th, the ghosts in the underworld must "return home" every year on the Qingming Festival, which is March 3rd, and go back to the world of the living to see their families at night. Therefore, in Wuwang Village, there is such a custom of eating family meals with ancestors, but this custom has many requirements, that is, no one can talk during the meal, let alone mention the ancestors' past life. The locals believe that such words will make the ancestors feel nostalgic, and they will not leave after eating the family meal, and stay at home!
The family in Wuwang Village that had an accident this time had an accident during the Qingming Festival!
The family of the accident was surnamed Zhao, and it was the old man of the Zhao family. The old man Zhao had three sons. They were originally from Baicao Village, a neighboring village of Wuwang Village. However, later on, the three sons of the old man Zhao became successful and did a lot of business in the provincial capital of Taiyuan, so they took the old man to Taiyuan. However, the old man could not get used to the city life after he went to Taiyuan, so he wanted to go back to his hometown. The three sons of the old man grumbled that Baicao Village was always too poor, and the old man must have a hard time living in Baicao Village, so they wanted to let the old man live in the more prosperous neighboring village of Wuwang Village. This also obtained the consent of the old man, so the three sons bought a piece of land in Wuwang Village and built a luxurious courtyard, which was regarded as a place for the old man to live in peace. Their new courtyard was completed half a month before the Qingming Festival, and it was just finished, just in time for the Qingming Festival. Old Master Zhao is a lively person. When he heard about the Qingming Festival customs in Wuwang Village, he wanted to follow the local customs and join in the fun, so he called his three sons, daughters-in-law, grandsons and the whole family back, saying that everyone should have a "family dinner" with the ancestors. Old Master Zhao's three sons are all filial sons. When they heard that their old father wanted to do this, they immediately came back happily. The whole family prepared a table of family dinner in full swing, and also prepared seats for some deceased ancestors.
Who knew that the eldest son of the Zhao family was ignorant. After all, he was not a child who grew up in Wuwang Village, and he didn't know the taboos in the village. He spoke directly during the meal and shouted-"Hey, Grandpa, there are so many people in our house, all over the yard, there are more than a hundred people, so fun, and some are wearing ancient clothes!"
When Old Master Zhao heard this, he was furious. It was said that this child's eyes were pure and clean, and he could see dirty things. The old man was superstitious and thought that his grandson must have seen something unclean, but... The Zhao family was not a wealthy family, so where did so many ancestors come back during the Qingming Festival? This scared Old Master Zhao so much that he fainted. When he fainted, it was already the next night when he woke up, and he was still in the Wuzhai County Hospital at that time.
Who knew that the first sentence the old man said when he opened his eyes was-"I am so miserable!!!"
And it was a woman's voice!
This frightened the hospital so much that the whole place was in a state of panic. Later, the old man who was guarding the hospital said that the old man was probably possessed by a "dead fox"!
"Dead fox" is the name for a kind of dirty thing in Wuzhai County in northwest Shanxi.
The three brothers of the Zhao family were furious when they heard this, so they found a connection and assigned a task to the Tiandao League. Unfortunately, after Li He got into trouble, the case was suppressed and has never been solved. However, after Qingyi understood the task, he asked the Zhao brothers. The three brothers said that the old man was still there, but his behavior was getting weirder and weirder. He screamed when he saw fire, and he kept repeating one sentence every night at 12 o'clock - I am so miserable...
Based on the old man's situation, Qingyi speculated that the thing that possessed the old man should not be fierce, otherwise the old man would have died a long time ago! So Qingyi said that it should not be difficult for me to take the things from the old man.
After I understood the task, I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was finally a simple one, which was a blessing in disguise.
After figuring out the general situation, I decided to go back to Shanxi. There was no point in staying in Tiandao League for a long time.
That night, Qingyi and the others arranged another table to see me off. Since we were all generous people, there was no need to waste time on parting. After eating and drinking, I booked a train ticket to return to Taiyuan with Li Jiajia and Zhou Jing. As for Heizi, I would definitely take him with me. Zhang Jinya was straightforward this time and agreed directly, saying that he would find a car to take Heizi to me later. After all, you can't take a dog on the train.
I felt relieved at this point, and put aside these distractions to face the first solo mission in my life.
