Reborn Spirit Master

Chapter 92
Pigs are raised on the first floor of Tujia stilted buildings, and the living room begins on the second floor.

When Su Cangyue and Zhao Dong arrived at Jiang Youping's house, the old man welcomed them to the second floor and shouted into the room. A woman in her 50s or [-]s brought tea and a golden snack.

Old man Jiang waited for the two of them to drink some tea, and said impatiently, "Young man, are you Wang Su?"

"Yes." Su Cangyue nodded: "The old man has already read our letter of introduction?"

"Auntie Wang Su, don't call me an old man. The old man hits you off right away today, so you can call me elder brother!" Old man Jiang stared at her with longing.

"Hehe, since that's the case, it's better to be respectful than obedient, Brother Jiang!" Su Cangyue raised the tea bowl as a signal, and the old man was overjoyed, and immediately raised the bowl and the two took a sip.

"Aunt Wang Su, what you said just now is that there is a problem with the earth's atmosphere in our village. I don't know where the problem is?"

Su Cangyue showed a troubled look on her face, she glanced at Zhao Dong, and lowered her head to drink tea.

"Little brother, could it be that you saw the problem in our village?" The old man immediately shifted his focus, staring at Zhao Dong eagerly and asking.

"Brother, you misunderstood." Zhao Dong shook his head, and said solemnly: "Wang Su is the technical director of our company. I am just an assistant to assist her in her work. I don't understand such profound knowledge as earth qi and feng shui."

The old man looked at Su Cangyue again: "Sister Wang Su, I don't know what subject you want to study when you come to Chunan this time? Maybe I can help you."

"Then I'll thank you, brother first!" Su Cangyue arched her hands, looked around, and made a gesture and asked, "Brother, you don't have those things here, do you?"

The old man's expression changed: "Wang Su Amei is referring to...?"

"There are a lot of strange people in Chu Nan, so it's inevitable that some people like to keep those things at home." Su Cangyue continued in a very low voice: "It's just that those things have been kept for a long time, especially for the master. After passing away, if things are not cleaned up, there will always be some bad influences left behind. Over time, it will inevitably have an impact on the feng shui and earth atmosphere of the entire village, and this is the source of your village's decline."

Old man Jiang's face was unpredictable, as if there was something difficult to decide.

Seeing his appearance, Su Cangyue decided to add fire to help him make a decision.She took a sip of tea slowly, and said softly: "Brother Jiang, I shouldn't have said these things. This is considered a guest breaking the taboo of the host. But since I saw the problem, of course You can't pretend you don't know."

"The words have already been said, so I might as well make it clearer. The river in front of your village flows from the west mountain, right? And your Jiangcun village has a very bad habit of raising those things. After people die, their remains, as well as the undead things around them, will be sent to Xishan for disposal. Over time, the water source there has been polluted."

"Jiang Village is located in the upper reaches of the water, and the people in the village have the most filth in their drinking water, and they are also affected the most. In recent years, have there been more and more women in your village who can't give birth to babies? And The married people in your village rarely gave birth to babies in the first few years. On the contrary, after a long time of marriage, they began to conceive and give birth to babies. Am I right?"

Old man Jiang pulled out the tobacco rod at his waist, started to load tobacco, lit the fire, and took a sharp puff, but accidentally choked and coughed violently.

"This is because of the long-term influence of pollution, the reproductive function of the body is greatly affected. Only after leaving here for a long time, the situation will gradually improve."

Su Cangyue told the story according to the materials she read in her previous life.

Old man Jiang's face became ugly, and the smile on his face disappeared. He looked down at the teacup on the table for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "Auntie Wang Su, do you know how to solve this matter?"

Su Cangyue said without hesitation: "The best way is to leave here and build a new village."

"This is the foundation of our Jiang clan, we absolutely cannot leave here!" Jiang old man refused without thinking.

"That's the old brother's own business."

Zhao Dong has been observing the interaction between the two, and at this moment he interjected: "Xiao Su, we still have work to do this time. Let Brother Jiang decide the matters in the village."

Su Cangyue smiled and changed the subject: "Brother Jiang, we came here this time to find a piece of history in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. When we collected information, we found that King Chuang of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom once lived in a place not far from here. Jiashan Temple lives in seclusion, and King Chuang's subordinates are scattered nearby. Brother Jiang, do you have any relevant legends here?"

"Bang!"

Old man Jiang's cigarette rod fell to the ground, he immediately picked it up in a disguised manner, knocked it on the floor a few times, and when he raised his head again, he had a forced smile on his face: "Sister Wang Su, so you are here to find this, That's really the right place. When I was a child, I heard about Fengtianyu monk in Jiashan Temple, and I heard that he was Emperor Shuntian. This story has been circulated nearby. You should stay in our village first, and then let Alang accompany you. You go to Jiashan Temple to have a look, and you can also go to nearby villages to inquire about it."

"Then I will trouble Brother Jiang."

Seeing that she agreed, old man Jiang looked better, called Alang over, asked him to talk with the guest, and then left.

A Lang sat down next to Zhao Dong, a little far away from Su Cangyue, looking very restrained.

Su Cangyue poured him a cup of tea and asked kindly, "Alang, how old are you this year?"

The boy looked up at her, blushed, and said in a very soft voice, "Fifteen."

Su Cangyue was a little helpless, she winked at Zhao Dong, and stood up: "I want to take a stroll in the village, Dongzi, do you want to go together?"

"No, I'm tired after driving all morning. I want to sit and rest for a while." Knowing what she wanted to do, Zhao Dong immediately shook his head cooperatively.

"Then...then I..." Alan was at a loss. He didn't know whether he should go shopping with him, or sit here and talk to his elder brother.

"Alang, let's talk to my brother. Didn't Village Master Jiang ask you to talk to me?" Zhao Dong reached out and patted the young man on the shoulder, helping him make a decision.

Su Cangyue smiled, got up and left.

Walking out of the living room and coming to the outer corridor, Su Cangyue had already looked at the building on stilts carefully, there was only one person in the back room, it was the middle-aged woman just now, old man Jiang had disappeared.

The village owner's house is located in the east of the middle of the village, on a higher terrain, and two-thirds of the village can be seen from here.Su Cangyue took a look and locked on a stilted building. The stilted building was made of pure wood. It looked old, but it was still very strong. It was built on the west side corresponding to the main house of the village.

Looking at the geographical location and architectural structure of this house, it is exactly the village sacrificial house mentioned in the data.Old man Jiang heard such amazing news just now, so he should go over there to discuss it with his clansmen.

Su Cangyue went down the stairs and wandered around the village. Along the way, she met some women and children in Tujia costumes. Everyone looked at her curiously.Su Cangyue smiled and nodded to everyone, and when she met a child, she would take out fruit candy and give it to the other party, and the child would thank her at the gesture of the adult.

It took her about half an hour to visit the whole village.The houses in the stockade are typical stilted buildings in western Hunan. Su Cangyue noticed that there are three places in the stockade where the houses are different, and they are in the east, south, and southwest directions.

Those three houses looked very neat and tidy, Su Cangyue looked carefully at the window lattices, there wasn't a speck of dust or spider webs.She immediately knew that these three places were the residences of the cup raisers in the village, so she had to be careful to avoid them when she turned around.

Cupworms are difficult to raise and have very high requirements on the environment. The host must keep the environment spotless.

Cup insects are ferocious. Wherever cups are raised, small reptiles such as spiders have long been extinct, so the residence of the servant is not only clean, but also free of spider silk.

She stayed outside those three houses for a while, and after using the newly opened perspective skills and sensitive perception to observe, she walked back with confidence.

After walking around to the vicinity of the sacrificial house, Su Cangyue intentionally avoided the building on stilts, turned around and was about to go back to the main house of the village, when someone behind her stopped her.

"Auntie Wang Su, wait a minute."

Su Cangyue turned her head and saw Old Man Jiang.He and a group of people are coming out of the sacrificial house.

Those people obviously already knew who she was, and looked at her with different expressions.

Facing the eyes of a dozen people, Su Cangyue greeted them calmly,

"Brother Jiang, what's the matter?"

The old man Jiang stretched out his hand and pulled a honest man in his 50s: "Sister Wang Su, this is my brother's son Erlang, and these are my brother's nephews. They have something to ask Wang Sua Sister, is it convenient for you now?"

"Okay!" Su Cangyue readily agreed, "Should we just talk here?"

"Go inside and talk!"

Old man Jiang let Su Cangyue into the room, the father and son and another middle-aged man led her into the sacrificial room, and the rest guarded the door.

Su Cangyue was nervous, but she didn't show it on her face. After she entered the room, she looked around the room first. There was a strange image in the shrine right in front of her. It was not the Son of Heaven common to the Tujia people, but a benevolent old monk. .

There was a row of futons in the middle of the sacrificial room, four people stood in front, the other party didn't ask Su Cangyue to sit down.

"Teacher Wang Su, are you Tima?" Jiang Erlang spoke, staring at her face while talking.

Tima refers to the person who communicates with the gods. Tujia people also call him Teacher Tu. Many Tujia sacrificial ceremonies are presided over by Tima, so that the wishes of Tujia people can be expressed to God smoothly.

Su Cangyue smiled slightly, and bowed her hands: "I'm a Han Chinese. Although I'm not a Tujia Tima, I'm still a god-worshipping person."

Jiang Erlang looked excited: "Then can I ask Mr. Wang Su to help me?"
