I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 32 Village Resentment

After coming out of Xu Shufen's house, the man in the suit stayed far away, feeling both respect and fear for Sang Que, and laughed dryly.

Sang Que ignored her and put on headphones to call her childhood friend and best friend, Jiang Zao, who is the granddaughter of the inheritor of northern puppet show.

Just as Xu Shufen said just now, few people nowadays are willing to learn and inherit the heritage of their ancestors.

But Jiang Zao is not like that. She has loved puppet shows since she was a child. At the age of five, she was determined to inherit the tradition of her ancestors. She would not listen to anything, and would throw tantrums and go on a hunger strike to show her determination.

Grandpa and grandma were very happy and supportive of this. Then Jiang Zao was left in her hometown by her parents who had settled down in a big city to learn puppetry from her grandpa and grandma. The couple gave birth to a second daughter and started to "level up" again.

Sang Que's mother has arranged everything for her, so she doesn't have to worry about the future. Jiang Zao only wants to work in puppetry in the future, so both of them are average in their studies and often stay together, using Jiang Zao's studio to "do something else".

For example, she recreated the Tang clan hidden weapons in the novel, shot ancient style costume videos, etc. She learned martial arts since she was a child, so naturally she had a dream of being a chivalrous woman.

"Zaozi, help me find a dog."

There was a lazy nasal sound coming from the other end of the phone. He must have fallen asleep while watching TV series.

"What dog? You already have me as your running dog, why do you need another dog? Wait, you haven't even come to coax me yet, and you dare to order me to do things for you? You haven't even given me a reasonable explanation for running away from home for three days without saying a word!"

Sang Que didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I called you yesterday. Didn't you scold me enough? I'm serious. I'm looking for a real dog, to keep as a companion for my mother. I want a rural five-black dog. I'll send you a message with the specific requirements. The dog market is near your home. If you find a good one, you can buy one. The money will be mine. Please help me make the trip. I'll come to your house in person to thank you and coax you. Isn't that enough?"

"Okay, okay, okay. When we were little, you saved my life once. I'll work like a slave for you my whole life. You've made a fortune."

"Oh, Zaozi, there's one more thing. Pick a few of the ancient-style costume videos we shot before, create a new account and post them. Remember to invest in some traffic, and I'll transfer the money to you later."

"What? Weren't you reluctant to post it before because you were afraid that your beauty would be coveted by others? Why are you willing to do it now? You want to be an internet celebrity? You don't need money."

"I really have something to do. Let's talk later. I'm hanging up now."

As soon as Sang Que hung up the phone, some noise suddenly came from the headset.

"... Zizi... help... us... Zizi..."

Sang Que frowned, pulled down his headphones and hung them around his neck, ignoring him.

This Xujiawan Village is located on the shady side of Longjiliang Mountain and is indeed a bit weird.

Walking all the way out and approaching the "Fu Shou Paper Shop", a paper man suddenly appeared at the corner of the intersection, with a weird smile on his face and his raised arm pointing in a certain direction.

When he came, Sang Que did not see the paper man at the intersection.

The paper man posed no threat to her, so Sang Que didn't need to avoid it. She walked over slowly and looked cautiously in the direction the paper man was pointing.

I saw a huge black cocoon, which looked like a piece of meat without skin, or a strange heart, hanging outside a seven-story building, wriggling and shrinking.

Countless faint black lines emerged from the black cocoon, penetrated the wall, and scattered towards all parts of Xujiawan Village.

One of them passed over the head of the mulberry bird and landed in the paper-making shop.

Sang Que looked at the paper man, and the paper man immediately turned his head 180 degrees to avoid her gaze.

The huge creature felt very dangerous to Sang Que. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, so she put on her sunglasses and left Xujiawan Village.

After she left, the paper mannequin at the intersection turned its head around, and its smiling face turned into a crying face.

*
At the entrance of Xujiawan Village, Sang Que passed by two men dragging suitcases when crossing the road.

One of the young men with brown curly hair, casual T-shirt and jeans lifted his sunglasses and looked back, "Brother Wu Jun, long-legged beauty~"

The man next to him, wearing a shirt and trousers and looking quite tough, said sternly, "Watch the road!" The energetic Zheng Letian pouted and quickly caught up with Zheng Wujun while pulling his suitcase. Together, they walked around the fence and entered Xujiawan Village.

As soon as he entered, Zheng Wujun frowned and glanced around, "The yin energy is very heavy, there must be a big problem."

Zheng Letian smiled and said, "It's quite cool~"

"Follow me."

Zheng Wujun quickened his pace, and Zheng Letian continued to chatter while looking around curiously.

"Wasn't the Xu family's grandmother very powerful? Why did she suddenly become incapable and had to ask our Zheng family for help? I don't feel that there are any powerful evil spirits here."

"Besides, the mountain god worshipped by the Xu family can drive little ghosts. If there is any problem, we can just send those little ghosts to deal with it. Why do we have to make a trip? I don't know where my eldest brother has gone. Grandpa told me to find him back. Brother Wujun, you said, my eldest brother..."

boom!
The signboard of a roadside paper-making shop suddenly fell down, shocking Zheng Letian so much that he trembled all over. He instinctively retreated towards Zheng Wujun and bumped into something that felt wrong.

He turned around suddenly and saw a paper man next to him, smiling at him!

"Brother Wu Jun!!"

Zheng Letian grabbed the jade pendant hanging on his chest and screamed. Suddenly, a thick fog filled the surroundings. In the fog, there were dim shadows, which turned out to be all kinds of paper figures.

Snapped!
A hand patted Zheng Letian's shoulder. He almost jumped up, but he heard Zheng Wujun's reassuring voice.

"Don't run around, it's just a wandering spirit."

The warmth of Zheng Wujun's palm made Zheng Letian gradually calm down. As long as he was no longer afraid, those wandering souls would not be able to harm him.

Zheng Letian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself standing in a paper-making shop, surrounded by paper wreaths covered with dust and cobwebs.

The two men came out of the paper shop and when they passed the intersection, Zheng Letian stopped and raised his hand to point at the seven-story building in the distance.

"Brother Wu Jun, I feel like there's something going on over there. I heard a lot of quarreling."

Zheng Wujun frowned and looked over, but saw nothing. Zheng Letian only saw a shadow and heard a few more sounds than him.

"Go find Grandma Xu first."

The two soon arrived outside Xu Shufen's yard. The man in the suit was persistent and was waiting outside the yard with a gift in his hand.

After entering the yard, Zheng Letian's hair stood on end and he grabbed Zheng Wujun's arm tightly. Zheng Wujun also felt that the yard was not very clean.

Xu Shufen had already prepared some herbal tea and invited the two to sit down in the yard. "Don't worry, my deceased partner is the only one in the yard. He won't harm you."

After the three of them sat down, Xu Shufen got straight to the point. "I've already told your grandfather about this. In order to protect the stability of this city, our Xu family has built a village here since ancient times. It is located on the Yin cave of Longjiliang Mountain, which makes it easier for the villagers to harbor resentment and evil thoughts. Only by believing in the mountain god can we ensure safety."

"The incense offerings to the mountain god have been decreasing over the years, and many members of the Xu family have moved away. The city needs to develop, and the village needs to be demolished. We can't stand in the way of the people of the city. But during this period of demolition, disputes arose among families. Husbands and wives turned against each other, fathers and sons became enemies, and brothers and sisters fought each other, causing resentment to grow and accumulate more and more."

"Now that the Feng Shui Bureau at the entrance of the village has been destroyed, the evil spirits that were originally suppressed by the mountain god have all come out, and eventually formed the 'village grudge'. If the 'village grudge' cannot be eliminated before the Zhongyuan Festival, once the ghost gate opens, the evil spirit will flourish, and extremely terrifying evil ghosts will definitely be born from the 'village grudge'."

"Once the evil ghost comes out, it will definitely backfire. When the time comes, anyone who leaves Xujiawan Village, no matter how old or young they are, no matter where they are now, and no matter if their surname is Xu or not, as long as there is a trace of Xu family blood in their body, they will be killed by the evil ghost. I am old and my abilities are limited, so I can only ask you for help."

Zheng Letian smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother-in-law. Although my Zheng family has fallen into decline, we are of the same lineage and rely on the protection of the mountain god. Even if we don't worship the same mountain god, they are all the guardians of China's mountains and rivers. My Zheng family's mountain god will not sit idly by. Besides, we still have my brother Wu Jun. He is the most powerful person in our Zheng family besides my eldest brother!"

Zheng Wujun thought for a moment and then stood up. "It is better to do this sooner rather than later. Let's go and make arrangements now. I would like to ask Grandma to help prepare some things for worshiping the mountain god."

"it is good."
