Zhang Daoxuan smiled, as if everything was under his control. He was a handsome man who made people jealous. With this confidence, it seemed that nothing in the world could escape his plan. He was full of strange charm. He did not ask the old man, but said directly: "I am afraid there are other evil spirits at work?"
The old man was shocked and said: "How did you know?"
"I guessed it later."
Zhang Daoxuan shook his head and said: "At first, I didn't expect there would be so many things here, but when I was sure that you were a spirit, and then I looked back at what happened in this family, I gradually figured out that there might be something else stirring up trouble. After all, the essence in the rice was really lost. The spirit is not in the Three Realms and Five Elements, and does not need to be swallowed and worshipped. Moreover, you are a spirit, and you will only protect your grandson. How could you scare him to tears?"
The old man was trembling, he huddled under the tree, he looked like a ghost, but I didn't feel the slightest fear, even the hatred I had before disappeared, I just felt a little pity for him, he looked at Zhang Daoxuan, it seemed like he had found a confidant, a little trust made him grateful, he bowed to Zhang Daoxuan again and again, his head almost dropped to the ground.
"Old man, you can't do this."
Zhang Daoxuan raised his hands in the air, and it seemed that a force held the old man to stand up, and then he said: "Yin and Yang have different paths. I am a cultivator, and I should not help the dead. After all, death is nothing, and the grudges of the previous life are written off. If you continue to entangle, it will violate the rules of the Yin and Yang worlds. I should suppress it. But you have suffered too much in your life, and these are reasonable. Moreover, this matter also involves the safety of a young child, so I accepted it, and it is not considered to be a violation of the oath in front of the ancestral spirit."
Zhang Daoxuan seemed to be talking to the old man, but in fact, he looked up at the sky throughout the whole process.
"What is your uncle doing?"
I huddled at the back, nudged Zhang Xinya next to me, and whispered, "Is it possible that there are not only ghosts in this world, but also gods? Your uncle looks like he is explaining to the heavens."
Zhang Xinya glanced at me, and quickly moved aside, with a look of disgust on her face: "Why are you so close to me? You look very weird now!"
However, despite her disdain, she still whispered to me and explained a few words: "It's not that there are gods. People like them have a lot of things to pay attention to. There are five disadvantages and three shortcomings, as well as the five declines of heaven and man. The powerful ones even have thunder and fire and death. In short, everything in this world is probably balanced. Even if you have extraordinary power, you can't do whatever you want. There will be strange power to punish you. Therefore, everyone will be bound by the rules and regulations. My uncle's work on the dead may have violated some rules and regulations. He must explain himself, half to God and half to himself. Otherwise, his Tao heart will lose its restraint. If God doesn't kill him, he will kill himself."
The more she talked, the more complicated it became. In the end, even she couldn't explain it clearly. These things are hard to explain.
At this time, Zhang Daoxuan finally completed a set of complicated procedures and directly agreed to the old man's request. As for Zhang Wei and his wife, he had already ignored them. I guess he looked down on the couple from the bottom of his heart, and just urged the old man to explain the whole thing clearly.
"Isn't it all the fault of this beast?"
The old man looked at Zhang Wei angrily and said hatefully: "I have advised him long ago to leave a way out for others and not to do things to the extreme. Even if it is not for accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, you should think about your way out. We are all human beings. If you really push people to death, what's the use of your power and money? It's not as difficult as you think for others to want your life! But he never listens, money has blinded his eyes!"
Zhang Wei was stunned by the old man's scolding, and said puzzledly: "I admit that I am sorry for you, but how does this have anything to do with me?"
"I can become like this to meet you, can't others become like this to come back to find you?"
The old man said angrily: "Really my good son, have you forgotten the father and son of the Cheng family three years ago?"
When the father and son of the Cheng family were mentioned, even Zhang Wei fell silent.
Zhang Xinya was not as good as her uncle. After repeated questioning, the old man finally talked about an old story.
The father and son of the Cheng family he mentioned, the child is called Cheng Yi, and the father is called Cheng Erdan.
This father and son are from a small county in northwest Shanxi. Cheng Yi started working early, and later he was ready to do business after earning some money. However, he was not destined to succeed, and lost everything. He was unwilling to accept this, so he thought of borrowing usury. It happened that Zhang Wei was engaged in this business in those years. After a few visits, the two of them got in touch.
After Cheng Yi borrowed money from Zhang Wei, I don't know who persuaded him to invest in Bitcoin. Later, Bitcoin fell to the lowest point, and he lost money in mining and urinated blood. He had no choice but to go to work again.
Unfortunately, he borrowed usury, and the interest was compounded. Even if he tried his best to pay back the capital, the remaining interest made him despair.
At that time, the old man had advised Zhang Wei that it was enough to just get the capital back. The other party was indeed forced into poverty by him, so there was no need to force him into a desperate situation. Zhang Wei did not listen and found a group of social hooligans to collect the debts. They collected the debts every day, every month, and even... used some bad means. Cheng Yi was also a man with a fragile heart. He could not bear the pressure and jumped into the Fen River at a loss. Even his body was not found!
The matter was not over yet. Cheng Yi died. His father Cheng Erdan found Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei knew that he was in the wrong at that time. How could he dare to see this man? He could only avoid him everywhere.
Cheng Erdan could not read a single word. He was just an honest man. He did not understand so many things and did not know how to solve the problem through other means. When his son died, he was completely desperate and had only one way left to go, so he ran into the door of Zhang Wei's house and died.
After the incident, Zhang Wei finally managed to get rid of the matter with great effort, but he was still frightened. Since then, he has stopped lending money at high interest rates. He also took good care of Cheng Erdan's funeral, but after cremation, his relatives did not accept the ashes at all, but instead poured all the ashes on his door.
Zhang Wei did not dare to speak out, so he could only swallow his anger.
The old man lowered his head and spoke of these things with great pain. In fact, it is really hard to say whether these things are right or wrong, but two lives were lost there. Anyone who hears them will sigh. The old man is kind-hearted and has always felt that this matter has caused too much evil. He gave birth to his son, so he is also guilty. He has never forgotten it, especially the way Cheng Erdan crashed to death in front of the door, which will appear when he closes his eyes at night.
"But I didn't expect that Cheng Erdan... would come back!"
The old man gritted his teeth and said, "On the day my grandson was born, after I knew the news, I hid it from the nanny and ran out secretly, but I was really inconvenient to move. When I went down the stairs, I rolled down and died. At that time, I had an obsession in my heart and wanted to see my grandson, so I turned into a ghost and went to the hospital. When I arrived, my grandson was just about to be born. At the door of the delivery room, I saw Cheng Erdan. His face was covered in blood and his brain was still flowing out. He was about to sneak into the delivery room!
He was going to collect debts. This beast made him lose his son. He wanted to take away my grandson's body and become the son of this beast, and collect debts from him for the rest of his life!
This beast was not good to me, but my grandson was innocent. Even if I risked my life, I would not let Cheng Erdan succeed. I got entangled with it. It was too evil and I was no match for it. Fortunately, it was about to dawn, and he left in hatred.
I know he will never give up, so he made a great wish there, became like this, and has been guarding my grandson. "
"So, the one who is really making trouble is that Cheng Erdan?"
Zhang Daoxuan looked solemn, and immediately asked: "Even if you become like this now, you can't beat him?"
The old man shook his head: "I can't beat him, and he is getting stronger day by day, especially recently, there have been several times when he almost ate me, and I really have no choice but to protect my grandson and let him make trouble in the house..."
Spirits can't beat ghosts?
I pondered the information here, thinking that this time the fun might be big, Cheng Erdan is not a character to be messed with!
The spirit has lost all its ghost nature, leaving only the divinity. In theory, it should suppress ghosts and directly attack souls. I have experienced it. There is still a black shoe sole print on my face. If it can't even beat it, Cheng Erdan must be very fierce!
Zhang Daoxuan's face was as gloomy as water. He was not so nervous even when facing the ferryman. He suddenly turned to look at Zhang Wei and asked coldly: "After Cheng Erdan's ashes were scattered at your doorstep, did you not collect them, or did you not choose a good cemetery after collecting them, and just buried them casually?"
This was the first time I saw Zhang Daoxuan angry. He did not roar, and even had no emotional fluctuations, but he made people feel scared. He was simply an active volcano, and it was hard to tell when it would erupt, making people breathless.
Zhang Wei was shocked by Zhang Daoxuan's momentum and trembled all over. He responded tremblingly: "I... I didn't expect that there were really ghosts in this world!"
"When mortals do good deeds, their souls will go to heaven, and karma will follow them like a shadow."
Zhang Daoxuan said in a low voice: "Why don't you take me to find his ashes? Cheng Erdan is obviously a big shot. If it weren't for your father guarding you, I'm afraid your family would have been eaten up by him!"
