Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Fortunately, Taoist Master Yuan was present. He gave everyone the following reason: "It is precisely because the old man in Huansheng's family is so evil and wicked that we need to go to the ancestral hall and use the good deeds of the ancestors in the ancestral hall to suppress the evil spirit and prevent the old man from being so presumptuous!"

"After all, this old man's own father, grandfather, great grandfather... are all worshipped in the ancestral temple. He turned into an evil creature because of greed. How dare he face his ancestors? Why don't he just go to the underworld and reincarnate!"

Taoist Yuan's words were convincing, and Taoist Yuan had the support of Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, the prestige of Yang Huazhong and several villagers, and the support of Huansheng's clan members. Therefore, Huansheng's father's coffin was carried into the ancestral temple.

Taoist Yuan asked Xiaomo to come and preside over the ritual for the old man, and he gave some pointers from the side.

The ritual will last about two or three days, so during this period, Master Yuan and Xiao Mo will live in the village.

Yang Ruoqing cleaned up a guest room for Taoist Yuan and his apprentice Xiao Mo to stay.

Tonight is the first night. The coffin of the old man from Huansheng's family has been carried into the ancestral hall. Tonight is the wake. The ritual will begin after noon tomorrow and will continue until the early morning of the day after tomorrow. The coffin will be transported to the mountain for burial before the sun rises, and only then will it be considered complete.

At night, the ancestral hall was brightly lit and Huansheng's family was keeping vigil.

In the village, many families had originally planned to move back to the village today, but because of Huansheng's family affairs, everyone tacitly postponed their return to the village.

Even the various branches of the Yang family had discussed it and planned to move back to the village after the old man from Huansheng's family carried the coffin up the mountain and buried it in two days.

Otherwise, everyone would be panicked just thinking about the old man still being in the village.

Although the person did not come back, Tan had long ago instructed Sun, Bao Suyun, Liu and others to return to the village quickly to hang the sieves, gossips and other things in their homes on the door lintels of each courtyard and the main hall to ward off evil spirits and filth.

Luo family.

Wang Cuilian also brought Rong Gu and others to hang Bagua mirrors, sieve hats and other things on the doors and windows of the front house and the back yard.

After finishing the work and seeing the sun setting, I quickly called the two children back to the backyard and told them not to go out to play again.

The two children were young and ignorant. They had seen music and dancing in the ancestral hall and it was very lively, so they kept clamoring to go out and play after dinner and watch the fun.

This frightened Wang Cuilian so much that she quickly covered the mouths of the two little ones and said, "We can't watch this. It's a big tiger that eats people!"

If the big tiger hadn't been mentioned, the two little guys wouldn't have thought much of it. But once the word "big tiger" was mentioned, the curiosity of the two children was really aroused, and they kept clamoring to fight the tiger.

Be like Wu Song and kill a tiger with one punch...

In the end, it was Yang Ruoqing's look that shocked everyone.

Probably because of the residual power from picking up the kite before, the two little guys were afraid of her, knowing that as their mother, she would really beat them!

Wang Cuilian took the children to bed, while Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang were still having dinner with Taoist Yuan.

Talking about the truth obtained from the interrogation of Huansheng today, everyone is still sighing.

Because the truth is: Huansheng's father went to a Taoist temple in his early years and worked as a Taoist boy for a few years. He originally wanted to become a disciple and learn skills, but later he found the practice difficult, so he sneaked back and learned only a little bit.

In the early years, when Huansheng's father was middle-aged, whenever someone in the village died, they would ask him to help with the burial and to help deal with some of the related matters on a daily basis, and he was quite capable of doing so.

However, it was really unexpected that such a mediocre Taoist child would become active in the last year or so before his death. He could not bear the pain of illness, but did not want to be free and wanted to continue living. He remembered a kind of life-extending Taoist magic that he had heard about in the Taoist temple a few years ago, so he asked his son Huansheng to cooperate with him, and the father and son secretly implemented this Taoist magic...

"Master Yuan, do you really have similar magic in your Taoism?" Luo Fengtang stood up and refilled Master Yuan's tea bowl with a cup of tea, and asked humbly.

This was the question Yang Ruoqing wanted to ask, and she thought of the idea of ​​possessing another's body. Taoist Yuan first thanked General Luo for personally pouring tea, then stroked his beard and said in deep thought, "People who practice Taoism, when they reach a certain level, can prolong their lifespan and even regain youth."

"But the old man from the Huansheng family is not orthodox. It is more like the rebirth of a body that the evil heretics pursue."

Rebirth by taking possession of another's body?

Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other. Yang Ruoqing was surprised because her guess was confirmed.

Luo Fengtang was shocked because it was the first time he heard such a statement.

"Possessing someone else's body? What does that mean exactly?" Luo Fengtang asked again, "Does it mean... taking away someone else's body? Or their spirit?"

Taoist Yuan nodded: "Almost."

Luo Fengtang frowned in confusion, "But the question is, that old man asked Huansheng to bury him in a pit after his death. Does this have any direct connection with possession of another's body?"

Taoist Priest Yuan said, "Because he himself has no cultivation, he cannot possess another body, and the old maple tree is quite old and has some spirituality, so he wants to sacrifice his body to the old maple tree so that he can obtain the cultivation of the old maple tree and hide his soul in the old maple tree, thereby gaining cultivation, and when the time is right, he can possess another body and be reborn!"

I go!

Can you do this?

Taoist Yuan's explanation was refreshing to Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang, just like listening to a storyteller in a teahouse. They were stunned. It was wonderful and mysterious, but it seemed very far away from the world they knew. There was a sense of disconnection!

"Master Yuan, according to what you said, how long would it take for the old man to master that evil technique?" Luo Fengtang asked again.

Taoist Yuan thought for a moment and said, "A hundred days is about right."

"What will happen after a hundred days?"

"After a hundred days, children under the age of five in the village will fall ill one after another. This is a sign of possession."

"Because children have weak yang energy and unstable souls, young and middle-aged people have strong fire energy and are difficult to possess, and the elderly are old and weak, so it is meaningless to possess their bodies."

“So, children, especially little boys are great!”

Little boys under five?

  Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang looked at each other again, and saw the same anger and fear in each other's eyes!

All of the children in Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan are under five years old, and there are several in the Yang family who meet this condition!

This is really unreasonable!

Yang Ruoqing stood up, pulled out the whip from her waist and walked out.

"Qing'er, where are you going?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Yang Ruoqing turned her head and gritted her teeth: "I will also whip the corpse!"

Luo Fengtang hurried over to stop Yang Ruoqing, "It's too late to whip the corpse now, it will destroy the magic circle set up by Taoist Yuan."

"Besides, death is the greatest thing. He is already in the coffin. We have interrupted his plan. Let's just leave it at that!" (End of this chapter)
