Hearing my question, Li Yuan was startled at first.
Then he shook his head.
"No, Angkor... My grandparents only have two children, my uncle and my father, and no other children. At least that's what I know. What's wrong? The hair in the gaps in the beams, the horror of ancestor worship Are all the strange things related to this?"
I frowned and said solemnly.
"How should I put it... There was hair stuck in the cracks of the beams in the main room. I thought of an evil Feng Shui method called [Luck Luck Technique]. The reason why it is said to be an evil method is because it harms others and benefits oneself."
Borrowing luck?
Niu Bi next to him slapped his forehead and suddenly realized.
"Yes! I said this evil method looks a bit familiar. It is indeed the [Luck Luck Technique]."
The so-called borrowing technique is to let a person who has a relatively close blood relationship with you shave off all his hair first.
Then the blood of the shaved man was dripped into cinnabar and plant ash, and mixed into mud. Stuff this big ball of hair into the beams of the main room.
Finally, let this person sit cross-legged under the beam of the house and stay awake for three days and three nights!
After that, this person's life's good luck will be absorbed by this house. Then it is divided equally among the blood relatives living in the house. And he himself will be unlucky for the rest of his life, and will suffer bloody disasters from time to time!
It is equivalent to sacrificing one's life to increase luck for the rest of the relatives.
But in fact, the luck obtained in this way has an evil spirit in itself - because even if the person who is borrowed the luck does so voluntarily, it will be more or less mixed with a vicious and unwilling spirit. …
Listening to Niu Bi and I's story, the expression on Li Yuan's face became more and more horrified.
I looked at him and said.
"So, do you know why I'm asking you this? Because the [Luck Luck Technique] can only be effective between very close blood relatives."
Li Yuan answered with a somewhat sour voice.
"But Brother Ang, I really didn't lie to you. My father only has one brother, my uncle..."
"Okay. I believe you! You don't need to lie to us about this kind of thing."
I patted his shoulder.
The signs so far are almost certain that the Li Yuan family's fortune must be related to some evil magic - although the efforts and struggles of the Li Youde brothers cannot be completely denied.
However, it is an indisputable fact that at least some methods were used secretly.
"It seems that we still have to visit the tomb where we worship our ancestors."
I asked Li Yuan.
"How do you get to the place where your ancestors are worshiped? Do you still remember the way?"
Li Yuan nodded.
"I remember Angkor! The road there is very difficult...or it can be said that there is no road at all. Every time I go to worship my ancestors, I have to use a hatchet to cut down bushes and trees to open a way. So it is actually very difficult. Remember, but my dad has told me to forcefully remember it since I was a child. Every time I come back, he will ask me to describe it again. Otherwise, he will beat me. "
Just when we were about to leave the Li family's old house and go to the ancestral graves, a hoarse voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Li Yuanwazi, are you back?"
oh?
I thought, are there any old people in the village who know Li Yuan?
Niu Bi and I looked at each other and then walked out of the Li family's old house together.
I saw a thin, hunched old man standing in front of the door, looking inside.
Most of the villagers in Lijiagou are related to each other. This old man might be a distant relative of Li Yuan, so he still asked respectfully.
"Hello, I am Li Yuan. Who are you..."
The old man curled his lips.
"Oh, I still remember you, but you don't remember me, old man? I am your distant uncle. When you came back when you were fifteen, it rained heavily. After worshiping your ancestors, you returned to the village and were covered in mud. I'd rather find my grandson's clothes for you to change into."
Oh, this seniority is quite high!
I wonder.
After hearing this, Li Yuan finally remembered.
He apologized hurriedly and just explained that he didn't come back often, so he couldn't remember.
But in fact, I only came back once a year, and my stay was not long.
Who can remember clearly?
Of course, I am embarrassed to say this directly.
Looking at this hunchbacked old man, I felt thoughtful.
"Since we entered the village just now, some villagers must have recognized Li Yuan. But they were all watching from a distance and did not take the initiative to say hello. This thing is a bit weird!"
"After all, Li Yuan's father and uncle are wealthy people from the village. And a few years ago, they privately spent money to build a small dirt road connecting the outside road and Lijiagou. It is convenient for the villagers to enter and exit."
"Logically speaking, this kind of person should be very popular in the village, right? Li Yuan is Li Youde's son. Not only did the villagers not come up to say hello, they seemed to be hiding away. This is very abnormal."
"So the old man in front of me is willing to come over and say hello. Maybe... he has something he wants to tell us! Or at least, we can find some clues and breakthroughs from him."
The matter is urgent now, the life and death of Li Youde and others are uncertain, and I don't have the time to test and be tactful.
He spoke directly.
"Uncle Li, do you know that Li Yuan's father, uncle, and cousin came back to the village to worship their ancestors last week?"
Without waiting for his answer, I said to myself.
"80% should know. Otherwise, you wouldn't come here. I was asked by Li Yuan to help save his father. To put it bluntly, I have determined that there are big problems with Li Yuan's old house and ancestral graves! I want to ask Old man, do you know anything inside?"
The hunchbacked old man listened to my words, with a hesitant expression on his face.
He seemed to be struggling with whether he should say it or not.
Li Yuan also noticed it. He quickly stepped forward and held the old man's hand tightly.
The tears came down quickly.
"Uncle! Please, if you know anything, just tell us! My dad, my uncle, my cousin, something happened to them all."
well!
The hunchbacked old man sighed heavily.
"In fact, not many people knew about this matter at the beginning. In addition, after so many years, the old guys in the village have died and moved away, and there are even fewer people who know about it. Now, it should be I’m the only one left.”
After speaking, he shook his head again.
"What a sin... Back then, my distant cousin, your biological grandfather, believed the words of a wandering Taoist priest and buried your second grandfather alive!"
What? !
When he said this, we were all shocked.
I just felt a cold air rushing from the soles of my feet to the top of my head!
To be honest, I'm not afraid of any kind of zombies, evil spirits, evil spirits... Even if we have a fight, I believe the person who wins most of the time will definitely be me.
So this time for ancestor worship, if Li Youde and the others are really captured by ghosts and corpses - as long as they are still alive, I won't worry at all.
But I heard the hunchbacked old man say that Li Yuan's grandfather buried his brother alive.
My whole body is numb!
