Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2396 Ding Ermiao’s first love (87)

The people in the village were simple and honest, so Ding Ermiao didn't worry about them defaulting on their debts. He took the money and kept it on himself, not in Jia Shiwen's hands.

Hearing this, Jia Shiwen knew that Ding Ermiao was confident in catching ghosts, and was even more happy. He said: "The three who died in front were all cremated and buried. The fourth was cremated and has not been buried yet; the fifth was cremated and has not yet been buried. He has not been cremated yet and his body is buried at home."

"Take me there." Ding Ermiao stood up.

Jia Shiwen hurriedly led the way, leading Ding Ermiao and the clan members through the vertical street and arriving at the westernmost end of the back street.

This family in Xitou is revealing a silent and desperate sorrow.

Although the deceased's body was laid to rest at home, there were no wreaths in front of the door and no cries.The deceased was a young man who died the morning before yesterday. His parents had already cried all their tears and their voices were hoarse from crying.

Ding Ermiao walked into this family under the leadership of Jia Shiwen.

The body of the deceased was placed on a door panel, covered with a hundred steps.The parents of the deceased were sitting on the side, watching a group of people come in blankly, without saying a word, they seemed to be just a pair of wooden people.

Jia Shiwen sighed and said to the parents of the deceased: "We invited Taoist priests from Maoshan to avenge the children. You... don't be sad."

But the parents of the deceased remained indifferent, their eyes empty.To them, with their son gone, revenge or not seems of little significance.

Ding Ermiao also sighed inwardly, walked around the deceased, then stood beside the deceased and gently opened the white cloth.

There was nothing unusual about the body of the deceased, and there were no external injuries.But the remains of the deceased can be seen. Before death, he must have been frightened and in severe pain.

Ding Ermiao turned back and asked Jia Shiwen: "What was the situation like at that time?"

"At that time, the child was collecting well water in the backyard and suddenly screamed. His parents heard this and rushed to the backyard to see. The child had fallen to the ground, clutching his stomach and complaining of pain. Before he could be sent to the hospital, he ...No more, only 2 minutes left before and after.”

"Did you see anything else?" Ding Ermiao asked.

"It is said that... in addition to the child's cry, there was another voice shouting at the scene, saying not to kill anyone. There was also... a strong wind at the time, and the last wind blew out of the yard, and the child was gone. That’s how everyone knew that it was really…haunted.”

Ding Ermiao nodded. This statement was consistent with Xia Qianhu's statement.

The person who shouted at that time, "Don't kill anyone," was Xia Chenghuang.Xia Chenghuang was invisible, so the family members of the deceased did not see it. The subsequent gust of wind blew out, which was caused by Xia Chenghuang chasing the ghost and jumping over the wall.

"Did you see the doctor later?" Ding Ermiao asked again.

Jia Shiwen shook his head and said: "The previous children were all seen by doctors and said they died of natural causes. So this one was not seen by the doctor... it was in vain."

The doctors couldn't see anything wrong and didn't admit that it was haunted. Naturally, Jia Shiwen was disappointed with them.

Ding Ermiao winked, beckoned Jia Shiwen out, and said in a low voice: "This man was killed by a ghostly hand that penetrated his stomach and damaged his internal organs. Last night, your City God told me."

These circumstances were indeed what Xia Qianhu said last night.Ding Ermiao came here to check, actually to see if there was any ghostly energy on the deceased.But unfortunately, looking at it this way, there are really no signs of abnormal death.The souls of these dead people were also shattered at the same time. Even if they tried to summon them and ask, they couldn't do it.

"Ah? What the hell is this? Why is it trying to get in trouble with our Jia family?" Jia Shiwen asked in shock.

"I'm going to ask you, who did your ancestors offend and what kind of hatred did they have that led to this disaster?" Ding Ermiao said.

Jia Shiwen remembers stamping his feet: "Who can know what our ancestors did?"

"Is there a genealogy? Analyze the relationship between the five deceased people and go up to see who their most recent common ancestor is. Starting from this ancestor, go up two or three generations to see if the ancestors have done anything. What's the matter?" Ding Ermiao said.

Jia Shiwen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, the genealogy is at my home. I'll go back and check it out."

Ding Ermiao nodded and went home with Jia Shiwen.

Later, Jia Shiwen and several old men opened the family tree and searched for the genealogical relationship of the deceased.Ding Ermiao sat drinking tea and waiting for the results.

The results came out quickly, and Jia Shiwen said: "We found out that Daozhang Ding, the seventh-generation ancestor of these deceased people, is all the same person, my fifth-generation ancestor Jia Zhenming. However, the genealogy records that my fifth-generation ancestor Jia Zhenming, He’s just a farmer.”

"Look at your sixth generation ancestor and seventh generation ancestor." Ding Ermiao said.

Jia Shiwen nodded, studied for a long time, and said: "The ninth generation ancestor of the deceased, that is, my seventh generation ancestor Jia Siqi, was strong in martial arts and proficient in martial arts and weapons. He once... gathered in the mountains and forests, that is,... he was a bandit."

Ding Ermiao stood up, walked a few steps, and asked: "Kong is powerful, proficient in martial arts and weapons. It seems that he is still a bandit leader and a historical celebrity in your family. Where did this Jia Siqi work as a bandit before?"

Anyone who is a robber must have done something harmful to nature. Maybe this is the crime caused by Jia Siqi!
"The Wild Monkey Ridge, thirty miles to the east, is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Bandits of all ages have lived there," Jia Shiwen said.

"Okay, give me a room and I'll do the divination." Ding Ermiao said.

In fact, Ding Ermiao is not divination, but wants to discuss it with Xia Qianhu.Xia Qianhu didn't want to show up, so Ding Ermiao had no choice but to say this.

Jia Shiwen hurriedly took Ding Ermiao upstairs and gave all the upstairs room to Ding Ermiao.

Xia Qianhu immediately floated out and said with a wry smile: "Fellow Daoist Ding, isn't this difficult to handle?"

"Don't worry about whether it is easy or not, first find out the Jia family's robber ancestor Jia Siqi... City God, how long have you been here, do you know this robber?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Xia Qianhu shook his head and said: "I have been here less than a hundred years ago. Jia Shiwen's seventh generation ancestor is at least 150 years older than Jia Shiwen. If Jia Siqi was a bandit in his prime, it should be 180 years ago. So, I don't know him this person."

Ding Ermiao frowned and thought for a long time. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said: "Yes! Since Jia Siqi has been a robber, his soul must not have been reincarnated so quickly. Maybe his soul is still in a certain level of hell in the underworld. You will be punished here. Go to hell and get Jia Siqi’s soul, and you will find out after asking!”

"This is a good idea, but I can't go to the underworld, so I can only send music there. As for whether Jia Siqi is still in hell, it depends on luck." Xia Qianhu said.
