Master's words made all of us stunned, that is to say, if it was not an ordinary ghost and evil thing that carried water for Grandma Wei, then there were three other possibilities, one was a ghost who became a climate, one was a mountain spirit demon, and the last one was the body left in the world after death, that is, the corpse. However, Grandma Wei is just an ordinary peasant woman, how can she have anything to do with those mountain spirits and ghosts?

The only possibility, the last one. corpses, and corpses are divided into many kinds, such as the living corpses and even zombies encountered in the Xiangxi area last time, and only this statement can meet the conditions of ghosts and water. Thinking of this, I suddenly raised my head and interjected, "Master, is it a ghoul?" The ghost borrows the corpse to do things, this conjecture may not be impossible! ”

Hearing this, the master didn't answer my words, but Hu Qingxuan opened his mouth: "Well, I also agree with Ergou's statement, Senior Brother Yang, what do you think?" ”

Master pondered for a moment before he said lightly, "You may all be right, but I just want to add one thing. In fact, there is another kind of ghost that can achieve the condition of ghost carrying water, and it can be said that it is more in line with this condition. Qingxuan, you have been practicing for decades, and it should not be difficult to know that there is a kind of ghost in the world that lives in the land of hell, and wherever you go, within a hundred miles, not a single grass grows, everything withers, and even the local drought does not stop! ”

"Huh? Mr. Yang, do you want to say...... Ghosts?! Hu Qingxuan's face was suddenly shocked, he trembled, pondered for a moment, and suddenly nodded and said: "Well, "Poetry, Daya, Yunhan" said, 'Drought is abuse, such as burning' with corpses as body, ghosts as abuse, called ghosts, and there are even rumors that as soon as the drought comes out, the red land is thousands of miles, Senior Brother Yang, although I have not seen it with my own eyes, but I have heard a lot of legends about ghosts. Could it be that there really are ghosts?! ”

Master nodded, and said: "In fact, there have indeed been records of ghosts in history, the record of "Laws of the Qing Dynasty, Thieves, and Hair Tombs", in the ninth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, Gaomi had a long drought and no rain, and some people found that the grave of Li Xiande, a villager who died of illness at the beginning of the year, was damp, and it was rumored that Li became a drought after his death. The people of the villages ignored the Li family's obstruction, dug up the grave and opened the coffin, and when they saw that Li's body had not yet decomposed, they were even more convinced that Li was a drought, so they couldn't help but say that they would burn the body. The Li family took the gravediggers to court. There was no precedent to follow in this case, and in the end, Zhong Er, the leader of the Criminal Department, was sentenced to the crime of "hanging and waiting for prison" on the basis of 'opening the coffin and seeing the corpse', and the case was closed. Although the government did not identify Li Xiande as a ghost at that time, there is no doubt that it was Li Xiande who became a ghost. And the ghosts have an obvious characteristic, the place where they live is very humid, and there is no water in other houses, but the ghost is in the house, there is never water on the water, it is said that the ghost carries water home every night. ”

I opened my eyes slightly, I didn't expect that there were really ghosts in the world who said this, and there was a precedent. According to Master's words, then, is the water from Grandma Wei's house carried by the ghost for her? But I soon thought of an unexplainable question: "Master, Grandma Wei has been lonely for so many years, if her relatives have really become ghosts, why didn't she come out to carry water for her earlier, and didn't come out to carry water later, why did she only carry water now?" Could this be a coincidence? ”

"No!" Master shook his head and said, "Don't forget the cause of the great drought here, most of the factors may be related to the ghosts, and the ghosts caused the great drought here and carried water for their relatives, and the logic is not wrong. In addition, the question just raised by Ergou is not difficult to explain, you may think that Grandma Wei has been lonely for decades, but it is precisely these decades that can completely create a ghost. Because the time of the formation of the ghost is also particular, the ancients Yuan Mei said in "Continuation of the Silence": "The corpse becomes a drought at the beginning, and then it becomes a wolf". The corpse is fifty years at the beginning, that is to say, fifty years after the death of a person can be changed, the corpse is another name for the corpse, which can be called a zombie, but it is completely different from the zombie, the zombie can further become a ghost, but the ghost can no longer become a zombie, if the corpse initially becomes a ghost, then it becomes the climate, it is the legendary wolf! ”

I scratched the back of my head, I didn't quite understand Master's words, on the other hand, Hu Qingxuan and Luo Xinghai, it seemed that what Master said was beyond their cognition.

But Hu Qingxuan finally thought about it, and then pondered: "If according to Senior Brother Yang's statement, the corpse changed in the first fifty years, fifty years, fifty years ago, it corresponds to Grandma Wei's age in her thirties...... Hu Zhishu, you once said that Grandma Wei had a daughter, but she died very early, so do you know when Grandma Wei's daughter was born and when she died? ”

"Uh......" Hu Zhishu was stopped by Hu Qingxuan, and after thinking about it carefully, Hu Zhishu also said with an uncertain face: "Grandma Wei is twenty or thirty years older than me, and she did have a daughter in her early years, but when her daughter died, I was at most just born." So I, I don't have any impression of what happened at that time, but since you want to know, we might as well ask the old people in the village, the three old ladies are all in their eighties, and the age of Grandma Wei is on par, and the three of them were also well-known figures in Pingyang Town at that time, so what happened at that time, I think the three of them must know! ”

When the master heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Since this is the case, there is a secretary of the Lao Hu branch who has invited the three old ladies to come, how about we discuss it?" ”

Hu Zhishu was about to nod in agreement, but soon showed embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "Did Mr. Yang forget?" For the sake of the bloody ghost before, the three old ladies had a lot of complaints about you gentlemen, and even wanted to drive you out of Pingyang Town. As a result, in order to keep a few big gentlemen, I bumped into the three old ladies head-on, and wiped the old faces of the three old ladies clean, and now they may not be angry, if I go to invite the three of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to please move! ”

I almost forgot about this stubble, yes, the three old ladies were very dissatisfied with the incident of letting the bloody ghost run away at that time, and complained about the incompetence of the master, and wanted to invite other big gentlemen. As a result, he was violently bumped into by Hu Zhishu, almost saying that the three old ladies were embarrassed, and now the three old ladies are only afraid that they are on fire in their hearts, if they invite the three old ladies at this time, the consequences can be imagined.

The master frowned and said, "It is not appropriate to settle the so-called grievances, not to mention that the three old ladies are also thinking about Pingyang Town. Although they are stubborn, they are not out of personal selfishness, Hu Zhishu might as well go and make amends, after all, the three old ladies are so old, they should be given a step down. Also, this time to determine whether the demon who kidnapped Liu Xueyin's soul is a ghost, and urgently needs the help of the three old ladies. ”

Hearing Master's comfort, Hu Zhishu shook his head with a wry smile: "Since Mr. Yang said so, then my old face is also open, okay, I will go to the three old ladies' house to plead guilty, no matter what, I have to invite the three old ladies." After speaking, Hu Zhishu sighed lightly, turned around and walked out, looking at Hu Zhishu's distant back, the master also sighed deeply, I know why the master sighed, the so-called family discord, the family fortune is lost, and the villagers are not in harmony, the local fortune is difficult to reconcile, but Pingyang Town This place is more special, not only mixed with some old stubborn thoughts, but also promoting the ideas of the new era, and in the end they can only give in one step, otherwise it is difficult for this place to go on smoothly.

After Hu Zhishu left, Hu Qingxuan said worriedly: "Senior Brother Yang, if Grandma Wei's daughter really turns into a ghost after decades, it will be even more tricky!" The ghost is by no means comparable to the bloody ghost, I think a bloody ghost almost planted a few of us in it, if we are really sure that there is a ghost here, then what can we do? ”

"Alas, we doers of the way, regardless of good or evil, as long as we do our best, everything can only be determined by the destiny of heaven!" The master frowned, then changed his mind and said: "Actually, even if Grandma Wei's daughter becomes a ghost, there is no need to worry too much, because among the ghosts, not all of them are the flow of the Tao, and those who have just changed into ghosts are just ordinary demons, and the range of drought in this place is not a hundred miles at all, only dozens of miles, so it can be seen that even if it is a ghost, it should have become not long ago, and now once we are sure, if we can go all out, we must still be able to destroy the ghost!" ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly said: "Master, even if you are not sure that it is a ghost, that demon is by no means idle, those ghosts we met in Jilong Mountain last time were all fled from this Pingyang Town, and they can drive away all the ghosts, and those who live alone in a corner are by no means comparable to ordinary ghosts and evil things, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are demons!" ”

Master didn't seem to listen to me, but murmured in a low voice: "The devil and ghost mother of Jilong Mountain, the bloody ghost from the previous time, why are all such ghosts running rampant? Is there a connection between this? But what exactly is the connection? Alas, how many secrets are there that have not been seen again...... I stared at the master in astonishment, only to hear the master's words getting lower and lower, and finally I could barely hear it.

Early the next morning, our group came to Hu Zhishu's house again, but there were only a few of us in the hall, and Hu Zhishu went to invite the three old ladies, who had not come back since last night. About half an afternoon, I heard the villagers outside shouting, saying that the old lady and Hu Zhishu were back, and I found that the villagers had been paying attention to our movements in the past few days, and at this moment, there were still a lot of villagers outside the courtyard wall of Hu Zhishu.

Facing the villagers with anticipation, I felt that I must put an end to the thorny things here one by one, so that Pingyang Town can return to its former glory in the future. Instead of a small village that is now becoming more and more decayed and degenerate, even a town a few miles away, they no longer remember the place of Pingyang Town. However, when we saw Hu Zhishu entering the door with a smile on his face, the three old ladies still looked displeased.

It can be seen that they are still haunted by the events of that night. Thinking about it, the three old ladies represent the three major families in Pingyang Town in the past, and their words and deeds are quite weighty in Pingyang Town, but they were reprimanded by Hu Zhishu that night, I'm afraid no one can stand it.
