Chapter 33: The Mystery of the Wild Ghost
The thoughts of the villagers, of course, cannot be hidden from Zhushan's old way.The old Taoist of Zhushan has done a lot of things like sitting on the ground and asking for prices.In doing this, the old Taoist of Zhushan has long been familiar with the road.
"Since you don't believe me, then invite someone else!" Zhushan old man said, then turned around and was about to leave.
This trick, Zhushan old Taoist has used it on Li Tianzhen, and also used it on other people.However, although Zhushan Laodao used this trick every time, it was tried and tested.You know, in these ten miles and eight villages, the only person who can win this matter is the old Taoist Zhushan, and it is useless to invite anyone except him.Although people at that time hadn't heard of the word monopoly, Zhushan's sophistication had already made them realize the power of monopoly.
Seeing that Zhushan was about to leave, the villagers all turned their attention to Qian Yongfu.It has been introduced before that in Shima Village, Qian Yongfu is the person who speaks the most.As long as it is related to everyone's interests, the villagers will unconsciously choose to listen to Qian Yongfu's opinions.
Qian Yongfu is very clear that the villagers each have their own selfishness, some believe in ghosts and gods, and some do not.Even, several villagers complained about recruiting Zhushan veteran Taoists.
Now, the old Taoist of Zhushan wants to increase the price, and there is no room for negotiation at all. Not to mention that the villagers who are already dissatisfied will become even more dissatisfied, even the villagers who originally agreed to invite the old Taoist of Zhushan have some complaints .
In this matter, the villagers still have some small calculations.They recommended Qian Yongfu as the leader, which also has another meaning.This Qian Yongfu is a kind person and has always been generous.As long as it's his job, he will consciously contribute more without the villagers asking.
However, although Qian Yongfu is kind-hearted and generous, his family does not run a bank!There is no money printing machine in his house!His money is not blown out by the wind!What's more, Qian Yongfu had already paid a lot of money for the burial of Zhang San.Qian Yongfu also felt a little bit embarrassed if he was asked to take more this time, after all, Qian Yongfu also had a family to live on!
Qian Yongfu knew that if he asked everyone to pay now, even if it was to take the lead, he would pay more.Therefore, if he wanted to avoid paying more money himself, Qian Yongfu had only one choice, and that was to persuade Zhushan to stop raising the price.
However, for so many years, the old Taoist Zhushan has been adhering to an unwritten rule.That is, he, the old Taoist of Zhushan, exorcises evil spirits and eliminates disasters for people, and he has to pay as much as he asks, and no bargaining is allowed.Whenever he met someone who bargained with him, Zhushan's old way of dealing with it was to turn around and leave.
According to Zhushan's temper, if he turns around and leaves, he will never come back, no matter how high the price you pay, he will never come back.Therefore, Qian Yongfu did not dare to open his mouth to bargain with the old Taoist Zhushan.If he Qian Yongfu haggled the price and drove away the old Taoist of Zhushan, and if any evil happened in Shima Village after that, it would be entirely on Qian Yongfu's head.
It is said that good people have good rewards, but Qian Yongfu, a good old man, is always pushed into the fire pit by the villagers of Shima Village.This time and twice were fine, every time it was like this, not only Qian Yongfu's family couldn't stand it anymore, even Qian Yongfu himself was a little disheartened.
This time, Qian Yongfu was not going to stand up for the villagers anymore, so Qian Yongfu chose to avoid the eyes of the villagers.
Seeing that Qian Yongfu didn't make a sound, the old Taoist of Zhushan knew that no one would show up again.If he didn't leave, he would really have to lose his worth.
Zhushan old man has never been short of business, so he turned around without hesitation.Just when Zhushan old man turned around, my mother pulled the corner of my clothes.
My mother and I have always been in harmony.Therefore, as soon as my mother pulled the corner of my clothes, I knew what she meant.Most of the people in Shima Village are relatives, and no one wants anything to happen to others.Besides, this ghost, no one can tell who he will find trouble with.For the sake of the peace of Shima Village, my mother wants me to come forward and leave Zhushan old Taoist behind. After all, I am his apprentice!
I will definitely listen to my mother's words.Besides, I grew up in Shima Village, so I must still have a lot of affection for Shima Village, so I don't want anything to happen to Shima Village.So, I ran over and stopped my master Zhushan Laodao.
"Master, help Shima Village!" I said.After I finished speaking, I pulled the old Taoist Zhushan to prevent him from leaving.
The old Taoist Zhushan liked me very much in the first place, and of course he relented when I begged him like this.
"Okay, master won't go." The old Taoist Zhushan patted my little head lightly, and then said to me.
The villagers were also relieved to see that the Zhushan old man had not left.
"This thing is so powerful, I don't know if I can take it or not. But, for Xiao Fei's sake, I will do my best for my apprentice's safety." Zhushan old man added to the villagers.
The reason why the old Taoist Zhushan said that was because he wanted to tell the villagers that he stayed not because he was willing to lower his own value, but because of his disciples.
After deciding to stay, Zhushan Laodao set up a simple dojo at the gate of Zhang San's house.In his dojo, he just took a table, and then covered the table with a red cloth with gossip patterns.
After finishing all these, the old Zhushan Taoist began to dance again.He danced wildly with the mahogany sword for a while, jumping for a while, jumping for a while, crying for a while, and making trouble for a while.
After tossing for a long time, everyone didn't see anything.Just when everyone didn't care, a miracle happened.Someone discovered that the direction that Zhushan Laodao's mahogany sword pointed, that is, from the crack of the gate of Zhang San's house, a wisp of green smoke floated out.
"I forced the ghost out of Zhang San's house." Zhu Shan said, and after he finished speaking, he pushed open the door of Zhang San's house.
The old Taoist of Zhushan told everyone that the ghost who ran out just now had lived in Zhang San's house for a long time.According to common sense, lonely ghosts will not live in the same place for a long time.The ghost lived in Zhang San's house, and there could be only one reason, that is, the ghost's body was in Zhang San's house.
At this time, Zhushan Laodao pushed open the door of Zhang San's house, just to let everyone go in and search together to see if they could find the corpse hidden in the house.
The villagers searched around the house and turned Zhang San's house upside down. Not only did they not find the body, they didn't even find a single bone of the dead man.
When the body was not found, the villagers began to talk about it.Some people said whether the body was buried in the ground, and others said whether it was because there was an old grave under Zhang San's house... In short, there are various theories.
Just when everyone had different opinions, the old Taoist Zhushan spoke.
"Whether it is a corpse or a skeleton, as long as it is buried in the ground, it is safe in the ground. After being buried in the ground, even if there are no tombs on it, the ghost will not come out. Ghosts wander outside, there is only one kind Possibly, the corpses or bones were not buried in the ground." said the old Taoist Zhushan.
After the old Taoist Zhushan said this, the villagers immediately changed their minds, and no longer wondered whether the corpse was buried in the ground.However, the villagers of Shima Village are very imaginative.They immediately thought that if the body was not underground, it must be on the roof.Because, apart from the roof, everything else in Zhang San's house has been searched.
However, it is a pity that the villagers climbed up to the roof of Zhang San's house to have a look, but they still couldn't see the corpse.
The old Taoist Zhushan kept saying that there was a corpse in the house, but everyone even searched for the roof, but they still couldn't find it.This can only show that there is something wrong with what the old Taoist Zhushan said.As a result, those who didn't really believe in Zhushan's old way began to question Zhushan's old way again.
Zhushan old man had never encountered such doubts before, but now, he couldn't let go.Asking him to quit, it can only show that he is incompetent and can't handle this matter.If this gets out, his reputation as a veteran of Zhushan will be ruined.
Although Zhushan's reputation as an old Taoist was not earned by chance, this matter really made him face a difficult situation.The Zhushan old man has encountered many ghosts, but he has never encountered such a ghost.In this industry, Zhushan old man is an old man. He has never heard of that lonely ghost who lives in one place.Unless, it was Miemenpo who did it!
Miemenpo has collected many ghosts, she has the ability to make a wild ghost live in one place, but doing so will consume a lot of her skills, and Miemenpo's skills have not recovered yet.Therefore, the old Taoist Zhushan dared to conclude that this matter was not done by Miemenpo.
"Zhang San!" The Zhushan old man was overjoyed, and said loudly: "This house belongs to Zhang San. If Zhang San's body is left in the wild, he may run back to his house in Yangshi because he can't find a place to live. live there."
After finishing speaking, the old Taoist Zhushan raised the whisk in his hand, and said, "Go and see Zhang San's grave."
After the old Taoist Zhushan finished speaking, everyone followed him to the small bamboo forest at the east end of the village and found Zhang San's grave.Zhang San's grave doesn't seem to be a problem, just stay there.However, Zhang San's grave is a new one, so even if it has been turned over, it is not easy to see from the outside.
Zhushan old man asked the villagers to bring a shovel and the like, and he wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy.Zhushan Taoist first performed a simple ceremony in front of the grave, and then the villagers began to dig the grave.
After digging the grave, the villagers saw Zhang San's coffin, which was well covered, and it didn't look like someone had touched it.At this time, the old Taoist Zhushan's expression was a little complicated.Because, judging from the coffin, Zhang San's body should be inside.But at this time, the old Taoist Zhushan had no way out, so he could only gamble.
"Open the coffin!" Zhushan old man roared.
As soon as the Zhushan old man's voice fell, a few villagers walked forward, holding their noses, and pried it open with a shovel.When the coffin was opened, everyone was dumbfounded, because the coffin was empty, and Zhang San's body was gone!
"Since you don't believe me, then invite someone else!" Zhushan old man said, then turned around and was about to leave.
This trick, Zhushan old Taoist has used it on Li Tianzhen, and also used it on other people.However, although Zhushan Laodao used this trick every time, it was tried and tested.You know, in these ten miles and eight villages, the only person who can win this matter is the old Taoist Zhushan, and it is useless to invite anyone except him.Although people at that time hadn't heard of the word monopoly, Zhushan's sophistication had already made them realize the power of monopoly.
