Chapter 877 Self-defeating

Although Zuo Manzhu's parents were unwilling to tell him the truth, he still felt a little uneasy until he went to pick peppers in the vegetable garden and was surprised to find that the soil under the plum tree in the yard was covered with dirt. People had turned it over, and it seemed like something had been buried... Zuo Manzhu wanted to dig up the soil to see what was buried underneath, but he was afraid that what he saw was Liu Haifeng's body and he didn't know what to do. I had to do it, so I hesitated and couldn't make up my mind.

Time passed by a few years later, and suddenly one day a foreign boss came to the village and said that he was going to develop some tourism projects locally. As long as the villagers were willing to sell their houses and land, every household would get a large sum of money. Not only money, but also a building in a nearby county...

This kind of thing was a piece of cake for the villagers of Shangbao Village at that time. If it weren't for the development of tourism projects in the village, many of them might not be able to live in the buildings in the county town in their lifetime, so every household was I was happily ready to sign and get the money.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the old village chief, who had always been dedicated to the affairs of the village, was the first to stand up and object this time, and his reason was also very far-fetched, that is, Shangbao Village was left by his ancestors. If their property is sold casually, it will inevitably destroy the foundation of their Shangbao Village for generations to come.

Obviously his reason cannot convince the villagers who want to live a better life in the city. In their opinion, their families are so poor that they can hardly afford to wear pants, so what is the use of having a foundation for generations? If this foundation is to make them hungry and poor for generations to come, then they would rather not have this foundation! !

For a group of villagers who have lived a hard life, talking to them about their inheritance and foundation is all in vain. After all, they have the right intention to live a good life, and they in turn persuade the old village chief and his family that it is not good to go to the city to enjoy happiness. ? I heard that all the buildings in the county have running water. You only need to turn on the faucet to use it. You no longer have to go to the well to fetch water! ! But the old village chief naturally had his reasons for not moving, so Zuo Manzhu's family became the only household in Shangbao Village that persisted until now, and they have almost become an Internet celebrity attraction in the scenic area.

The police officer in charge of the interrogation asked Zuo Manzhu very puzzledly when he heard this, "Your family refuses to move... because there are corpses buried in the yard? Then why not move the corpses in advance?"

Zuo Manzhu's expression changed after hearing this, and then he asked the other party nervously, "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

After hearing this, the two police officers looked at each other, so one of them tried to guide him to tell more things, "You mean you saw the ghost of Liu Haifeng?"

After hearing this, Zuo Manzhu hugged his head tightly with his hands and said with a painful look on his face, "Since Xiaofeng disappeared, I have been able to see her every day. I told my parents these things... but they said I was crazy. , Where do ghosts come from in this world?" At this point, Zuo Manzhu took out a dark object from his pocket and said, "But I know my father and the others lied to me, otherwise they wouldn't use this thing. Buried with Xiaofeng."

It turns out that the previous generation of the old village chief was Mr. Yin Yang who ate the dead, so he himself knew some methods of suppressing corpses and exorcising ghosts. One of them was to insert a peach wood sword soaked in black dog blood on the corpse. The purpose is to suppress evil spirits, and this is the main reason why the old village chief dare not easily move the corpse under the tree... that is, he is afraid of the so-called resentful ghosts seeking their lives.

For so many years, the old village chief has watched his son's every move, fearing that he would dig up Liu Haifeng's bones when he wasn't paying attention. Although Zuo Manzhu had a fierce appearance, he was actually weak by nature. , did not dare to disobey his father easily. It was not until the old village chief died suddenly of illness some time ago that he finally dared to reveal the evil hidden under the plum tree. But at this time, Zuo Manzhu was already middle-aged, and his mother's health was getting worse day by day. He didn't know what consequences his family would bear if he told the truth, so he chose to continue to keep the secret for his father, just to take advantage of it. Taking away the small peach wood sword from the bones freed Liu Haifeng, who had been suppressed for many years, and gave her the freedom she had always expected...

Then Song Jiang and the others obtained Zuo Manzhu's interrogation transcript through Wu Lei's local university classmates. After reading it, Gu Hao said in a deep voice, "The death of the old village chief coincided with the time when Ma Hui started having nightmares. It should be It was Zuo Manzhu who pulled out the evil-suppressing thing from the bones out of guilt for Liu Haifeng and released Liu Haifeng's ghost... Only then did she find her reincarnation, Ma Hui. "

Song Jiang was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "But this doesn't make sense. Since Liu Haifeng has been reincarnated as Ma Hui, how could her ghost be suppressed under the plum tree of the old village chief's house?"

After hearing this, Gu Hao thought for a while, then looked at the photo of the peach wood sword in the transcript, and then sighed and said, "This should be caused by something self-defeating... The human soul is divided into three souls and seven souls, each of which is in charge. People's seven emotions and six desires can be separated naturally since they are combined. It must be that the old man named Zuo is not good at magic and only knows a few things about suppressing corpses and exorcising ghosts, so he just suppressed the resentment in Liu Haifeng's soul, and left His soul was taken back to the Yin Division by Yin Chai and reincarnated as Ma Hui. If he hadn't felt guilty and wanted to suppress Liu Haifeng's resentment, Ma Hui would never have remembered the painful memories of his previous life. "

"Can you reincarnate without a complete soul?!" Song Jiang asked in confusion.

"It's definitely not possible under normal circumstances... but the underworld also has KPIs. The reason why it's not guaranteed is because someone's performance didn't meet the standards and dragged this remnant soul to improve performance." Gu Hao said seriously.

Song Jiang and Deng Kai were both speechless after hearing this, and Deng Kai even complained ruthlessly, "I didn't expect the underworld to be so complicated! It seems like it's not easy to get along there!!"

That night, the local news broadcast reported a murder case that happened 30 years ago. The title was: A young girl believed in distant relatives and buried her bones under a plum tree to this day... Liu Hailong can finally take his sister home after thirty years. , but just when everyone thought the case would end here, the police brought another suspect back to record the case.

It turned out that just when a group of people were preparing to leave for home, Peng Defa actually came to the door. He swore to God that he really didn't know anything about my mother's harm to others, but now that his brother Degui was taken away by the police for investigation, he really With nowhere to turn for help, I found the hotel and wanted to find out what happened.
