Holy Bone

Chapter 711

Yin County.

It is a coastal county under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou Prefecture. It is not poor here, on the contrary, because farming, studying, heirloom, business and Confucianism coexist, business is prosperous, and wealth is hidden in the people.

As a result, many merchants who rush to the night have been born.

"Brother, brother, you can't go any further! You are from other places, you can't cross the bridge at night!"

On a winding mountain road, when a carriage had just passed the top of the mountain and was about to go down the mountain overnight, a few dusty traders in the mountain temple kindly stopped the carriage.

Seeing that the carriage was stopped, a few people came down from the carriage, they were Jin'an and his party who had just entered the boundary of Yin County and were on their way without stopping.

After a brief self-introduction, Jin An and the others learned that the people who stopped the car were local merchants in Yin County, who mainly sold goods in some mountain villages, and then bought some mountain goods and animal skins, and engaged in the business of buying and selling at both ends. They were spending the night in a mountain temple. , Wait until tomorrow morning to go to the next village to do business.

"Several benefactors, what do you mean by not being able to cross the bridge at night?" the old Taoist asked curiously.

"Sure enough, you are from other places. Just now, I saw that you were going to cross the bridge overnight, and our brothers have already seen it." Several private businessmen said while secretly looking at the direction of the bridge under the mountain nervously, as if they were very scrupulous. Something down the mountain was eavesdropping.

But in reality, the mountain was pitch-black, not to mention the road and the bridge, and even the river. At night, the river was too dark to see, and the surrounding environment was completely swallowed up.

Those merchants faltered and hesitated, and dared not speak outside, only willing to enter the mountain temple to talk.

The old Taoist lowered his head and glanced at the feet of several people. There was a figure under the light of the torch, and he walked steadily on the ground with his heels on the ground. The old Taoist whispered to Jin An that he was alive. Jin An nodded slightly calmly, and he became curious. , Enter the mountain temple with these local traders who are familiar with the local conditions.

This is a very ordinary mountain temple. According to the vendors, several nearby villages paid for it and built it together. The purpose is to pray for blessings and suppress some unclean things.

These traders are neither ghosts in the mountains nor bandits who rob houses. They are indeed warm-hearted ordinary people out of kindness to remind outsiders.

According to what they said, at the foot of the mountain there is a large river with fast-moving water, and above the river is a wooden arch bridge called Dadun Bridge. able to get out of the mountains.

It should be mentioned that there is a bridge first and then a mountain temple here.

The most noticeable thing about this wooden arch bridge is that a thick pier was built separately beside the wooden arch bridge, which penetrated deep into the river. A coiled dragon was carved on the surface of the wooden pier, which is how the name Dadun Bridge came about.

The Dadun Bridge used to be safe and sound, but the strange thing started when the sky over the head became abnormal, and the days became short and the nights long. For several days in a row, people found stranded drowned bodies in the shallows of the lower reaches of the river.

Once or twice a year, people would not take it seriously, but people drowned for several days in a row, and sometimes several people drowned in a row. This incident gradually aroused everyone's vigilance.

Until one day, a few local mountain people bought daily necessities from Yin County and went back to the village. When they were going to cross the Dadun Bridge on their way to catch the night, a strange thing happened. As soon as those people got on the bridge, there was a sudden fog. I don't know the specific situation, but I only heard the sound of falling into the water, and the people on the bridge kept falling into the river like dumplings.

Others who hadn't crossed the bridge yelled, but not only did those who crossed the bridge not respond, even those who rescued people on the bridge behind jumped into the river together.

That night, only one person came back alive, and fell into a coma for several days after coming back. At this time, a group of city people happened to pass by the small mountain village. It looks like the big boss of the business. Among those people, there is a Mr. Liang. After seeing the unconscious villager, he fed him a bowl of talisman water, and he woke up half a day later.

And when they learned of the strange thing that happened on the bridge, everyone looked at each other in horror, and begged those city people to save them. After the group of city people discussed it, Mr. Liang decided to go to Dadun Bridge first. Happening.

Mr. Liang did indeed have some real skills. He walked back and forth on the bridge several times with a compass in his hand, his expression changed drastically, and he said that this place is not suitable for building roads and bridges at all. There will be landslides, and it stands to reason that such a place cannot be bridged at all.

Mr. Liang noticed the Jiaolong wooden pier that was driven into the river by himself next to the wooden arch bridge. He wanted to go over to check it out, but was stopped by the old people from several nearby villages. Will offend the ancestors.

Mr. Liang had rich experience in Jianghu. When he saw the abnormal behavior of these old people, he immediately guessed that there must be something wrong with the wooden pier.

Afterwards, Mr. Liang cursed for being stupid. Although the living piles can temporarily settle the bad water and build bridges safely, it also lays a huge hidden danger for future generations. Push it into the bridge to seal the exit and suffocate people to death.

The more evil the person died, the more resentful he was during his lifetime, the better the effect of making a living pile is, and it can have the effect of suppressing evil spirits. There is another name for making a living pile in the second volume of "Book of Luban", It's called piling.

There is an evil saying among Luban's disciples and grandchildren that wherever a bridge cannot be built, a temple or a house cannot be built, one living pile will succeed immediately, and if one fails, ten or eight living piles will surely succeed.

These living piles are indeed safe and sound at ordinary times, and can ward off disasters and evil spirits for the owner's family.But once it is damaged and out of control, it will be a catastrophe, and it will take revenge immediately.And the living piles died tragically one by one, one can imagine how much resentment these people have.

Unexpectedly, he saw such a cruel and inhumane method in this deep mountain. Mr. Liang was so angry that he wanted to walk away on the spot, but in the end he couldn't do nothing. He left so many villagers alone, so he smashed the bridge pier , Dig up the body.

However, Mr. Liang still underestimated the grievances of the living piles. With his practice, he could not deal with the grievances of the living piles alone. Fortunately, one of his senior brothers was in the nearby Fenghuang Town. He transported the coffin to Fenghuang Town to ask his brother for help.

Before leaving, Mr. Liang also specifically told those mountain people to find a high mountain to build a mountain temple. The mountain temple must face Dadun Bridge, the temple gate must always be bright and open, and a yin and yang gossip mirror must be hung on the temple gate. This is called forcing one end , it can not only resolve evil spirits with the help of the sun and the moon, but also use soil to restrain water, and can temporarily keep the place safe.

"Mr. Liang?" Jin An and the old Taoist all looked at Shen Zhuxiao.

Isn't this the group of his elder brother?

Unexpectedly, the other party has experienced so many things this time when he went to the countryside.
