The Zhou Family Archway was demolished more than ten years ago.Wu Biao also committed suicide more than ten years ago.After he committed suicide, the old neighbors on Nanlin Street pooled their money together to invite Master to come and see him.

Now, ten years have passed.Whether that master is still alive or where he is is unknown.Moreover, too much time has passed, and I am afraid that even his name cannot be verified.

Ten years ago, after all, the information was not as developed as it is now.

If you want to check this matter, you still have to check it from the old neighbors on Nanlin Street.

Lu Ming found old man Liu Baohua again.

Facing Lu Ming's inquiry, the old man had a look of embarrassment: "The master was hired by Lao Fu at the beginning. Before he retired, he was the director of the street, and he had more prestige. But... Lao Fu passed away last year. But you ask him to do it. Well?"

Lu Ming was "sorry" and said: "You also know, folklore, customs, and sometimes this kind of master knows better. We have something to ask him..."

Liu Baohua understood in seconds: "Is it because you want to find someone to look at things? It doesn't have to be him. I also know a few famous masters. Let me introduce you?"

After rejecting Liu Baohua's kindness and insisting on finding that master, the old man Liu Baohua could only express his helplessness.But he also told Lu Ming that another old man who was still alive might know.

Lu Ming had no choice but to set off to find another old man.

Like Lu Ming, Zhang Dingshan, He Wei, and more than a dozen security officers ran around in Blue Lake City together.Some elderly people moved to other cities, and even asked for support from security officers in other cities.

In this way, after visiting for almost two days, it was still not confirmed who the master was.But it's not without gains.

Based on a comprehensive analysis of the interview data, it can only be confirmed that the master's home more than ten years ago was in the suburbs of Blue Lake City, on the west side, about an hour and a half away, in a certain village with the word "big" in its name.Moreover, this master's surname is Zhou.

With so many screening criteria, several members of the second action team quickly identified the specific village.

Dakeng Village.

Because the village is located in a basin surrounded by mountains, it is named after a big pit.

Accompanied by several security officers, the three set off immediately.

More than ten years ago, it took about an hour and a half to travel from Blue Lake City to Dakeng Village, even from the outskirts of the city.But now, with road repairs and urban expansion, it only takes an hour to reach Dakeng Village.This is still from the city center.

The two cars stopped directly in front of the village committee.The village head was notified in advance and was already waiting here.

Several local security officers went up to greet and confirm for a while, Zhang Dingshan stepped forward and said, "In your village, there is a master named Zhou, I heard he is very famous?"

Looking at the several security officers in uniform around him, the village chief hesitated, as if he felt that it was not appropriate to say such things in front of the security officers.

Lu Ming said: "It's okay, just talk. We are here for some private matters."

Hearing the word "private matter", the village head immediately relaxed a lot: "You mean Zhou Mingsheng? He is indeed quite famous. In the past, people from other places often came to him. But he...he has been in the mountains for almost ten years, and now It may not be easy for you to find him."

"Into the mountains? What do you mean?"

The village head said: "Zhou Mingsheng's wife said that he went to the mountains to learn Taoism, and he will not come back until he has completed his studies. This... people say so, I don't know if it is true or not."

Go to the mountains to learn Taoism?

In a modern society with advanced technology and advanced information, this term is not often heard.

After entering the office, several people sat down.Zhang Dingshan said: "About going to the mountains to learn Taoism, please tell me in detail."

"I just heard some legends, don't blame if you say it wrong, don't blame it if you say it wrong."

The village head first confessed, and then said: "It was probably... seven years, no, eight years ago, winter. One night, the mother-in-law of the Mingsheng family began to cry, as if they had quarreled. The neighbors heard, Of course, I had to go over to persuade him, and then called me over."

In some relatively closed and backward villages, the village head still has greater authority.When villagers encounter problems, they often like to ask the village chief to uphold justice.

"It was only when I arrived at Ming Sheng's house that I found out that this Ming Sheng didn't know what to say... Uh, I don't know what he was thinking, but he actually said that he wanted to go to the mountains to learn Taoism. He said that he counted that he had a fairy fate. What kind of immortals will you meet in the mountains, and you will learn the magic of immortals..."

"This Zhou Mingsheng, everyone in the village knows that people can show people Fengshui, test horoscopes, change yin houses and yang houses, catch ghosts, exorcise evil spirits, call souls and so on. I don't know if it is useful or not. Anyway, it is very evil. , Everyone said it was very spiritual. People from all over the world, even people from outside, came to look for it.

He said he wanted to go to the mountains to learn Taoism, but I didn't dare to say that he was messing around.What if it is true?That would offend the gods.

His wife was crying, holding his leg with the child and not letting him go.I can only try to persuade him from this aspect, saying that the child is still in school, and when he leaves, there will be only one wife at home, and life will be difficult.

At that time, the villagers followed suit, and Ming Sheng said that he was not willing to bear children and wives, but the fairy fate is rare, if he misses this time, he will never have another chance in the future.He also said that he would return after ten years of studies, and during this time, he would ask the folks to take care of the house, and he would be rewarded when he came back ten years later.

He also said that he would leave some talisman papers at home. When he went to learn Taoism, if there was an urgent matter at home, he would ask his wife to write the matter on the talisman papers and burn them. Doing gong outside to deal with something, what you said is evil.

I'm an old farmer, I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't dare to persuade him in this regard, so I said that it would be fine for him to take care of his family after he left, but if he left, who should the villagers turn to for help? For the sake of the villagers, he stayed for a while and left later.

I was thinking about stabilizing him first, and then slowly thinking of a way later.

But Ming Sheng said, if you have something to do, you can find his wife, and ask his wife to write the matter on the talisman paper. He has learned Taoism, and he can handle it no matter where he is.

After all, it is very firm.The big guys didn't dare to stop him by force, so they could only watch him carry the burden and leave when it got dark.

It's been a long time since I left, so I guess I'll be back soon.I don't know what it's like to come back.

Sheriff, do you think there are really immortals in this mountain? "

"Where there are any immortals, they are all fake."

A security guard casually replied.

Lu Ming fell into deep thought.

At least judging from the rural rumors, this master surnamed Zhou seems to be quite mysterious.

Combined with the custom of placing gossip mirrors on Nanlin Street, and the fact that the incidence of unreasonable suicides on Nanlin Street is extremely low, Lu Ming couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, or is there really something magical about Master Zhou?
Of course, he still doesn't believe in things like gods and ghosts.What he doubted was whether this master Zhou really possessed some kind of special ability?Does he know something to be able to curb the incidence of unreasonable suicides on Nanlin Street with such a simple solution of "putting a gossip mirror" so accurately?
This seems like a clue worth digging a little deeper.

"Then, after Zhou Mingsheng left, what happened to his family?"

The village head said: "It's okay. Originally, his family was orphaned and widowed, life should be very difficult. But, first, the village read Zhou Mingsheng's words, and no one dared to bully them. On the contrary, they usually have a lot of help. Second, People from all over the world heard about this, and if they had something to look at, they would still come to see his wife. Is this also a source of income? Generally speaking, the family is doing well. Count the days , His child is about to take the college entrance examination."

"Look for his wife to see things, is it working?"

"Some people say it works, some people say it doesn't work, this...it's hard to say."

"Does everyone in the village believe it?"

"This... There are a few mysterious things that happened later, and the villagers all saw it. Even if you don't believe it, you still have half-belief."

"Oh?"

"We have to ask Lao Peng for this matter, he knows it well. I'll call him to tell you about it."

The village head called, and after a while, a dark-skinned, honest-looking man, who looked like an old farmer, came to the office of the village committee.

"Old Peng, tell the sheriffs what happened when you entered the mountain."

Lao Peng was a little nervous.

"This...forget it, I, I still have work in my field..."

The village head comforted him for a moment, and made it clear that he was not looking for trouble, and Lao Peng was relieved.

There are many mountains around Dakeng Village.During the slack season, villagers also have the habit of going into the mountains to collect some medicinal materials, cherish food materials, or hunt.The same is true of this old Peng.

One day, Lao Peng went into the mountain, chasing a prey, and before he knew it, it was getting dark.He wanted to go home, but it happened that it was raining heavily again, and his mobile phone had no signal.

In the bitter wind and rain, deep in the mountains and old forests, Lao Peng was soon so cold that he almost died of freezing.

"At that time, my head was all confused, and it was just a regret. I am a relatively timid person. I used to pay attention to the time when I went to the mountains. I would never spend the night in the mountains when it was dark. I didn't know that I made a mistake that day. What confusion. I thought it was over this time, and I was dead."

But Lao Peng did not die after all.When he was about to freeze to death, a group of villagers went into the mountain with a flashlight to find him and rescued him.

The village head said: "I wasn't in the village at the time. I found out later that Lao Peng's mother-in-law had found someone to go to the mountain to rescue people, but it was raining and the mountain road was difficult to walk. I didn't know where Lao Peng had gone. I can't find it.

There was no way, Lao Peng's wife went to Zhou Mingsheng's wife and asked her to do the math.Mrs. Zhou Mingsheng burned the talisman, and after a while, she said that Lao Peng must be at Erdao Shangangliang.Later, everyone went there to see, and sure enough, they found Lao Peng.I heard that at that time, Lao Peng had been frozen in a daze and almost died. "

Lao Peng smiled honestly: "It was really freezing at the time. I vaguely saw two black shadows, talking in a low voice next to me, saying that I would take my soul away when I died. I was scared, but I couldn't move. Later, I vaguely saw Master Zhou coming over with a flashlight, and the two black shadows left. Master Zhou told me to hold on, saying that he had already told my wife my location, and soon there would be The folks came to save me. I persisted, and then I saw all the folks coming, so I was relieved and passed out."

The village head said: "The villagers all said that it was Lao Zhou who escaped from his body and saved Lao Peng."

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

The more remote the village, the more such strange stories there will be.Sometimes it's impossible to tell the truth from the fake.

For the time being, he couldn't tell whether the story was true or not.But as the person involved personally narrated, in his heart, Zhou Mingsheng was shrouded in a veil of mystery.

This person...is really weird?
Facing the security guards from other places, the village chief knew everything he could say: "There is one more thing. I saw this thing with my own eyes.

It was also winter, as it was four or five years ago. I got up in the morning and planned to go to the back mountain to see my greenhouse.Passing by the door of Zhou Mingsheng's house, hey, good guy, a little wild boar died there.The little wild boar's head was almost shattered, and there were bloodstains on the wall. It seemed that it had been hit to death somewhere.

Tsk tsk, I have seen strange things, but I have never seen such strange things.The old people say that they stay on the fence and wait for the rabbit, but they have never heard of wild boars hitting them while staying at home.

When the neighbors saw Rare, they all came over, and I woke up Zhou Mingsheng's wife.His mother-in-law went out, and when she saw the wild boar, she knelt there and began to cry.I hurriedly asked, and found out that Mrs. Zhou Mingsheng just burned the talisman paper last night, saying that the family's life is going to be difficult, and the child is about to take the exam, and she has no money to buy some meat for the child.

As a result, early in the morning of the next day, a little wild boar crashed into the wall of his house and died. "

Lao Peng interjected: "Another time, it was a few rabbits that crashed into the wall of Master Zhou's house, and another time it was a deer. The villagers all said that Master Zhou couldn't bear to see his wife and children suffer, and his soul came out of his body." , caught the prey and sent it over."

Looking at the two people who swear by it, Lu Ming was full of doubts.

He instinctively felt that something was wrong with these things, but he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

I questioned the village head and Lao Peng carefully, and asked a few random villagers in the village to inquire, and what I heard was similar.

The three finally arrived at Zhou Mingsheng's house under the leadership of the village chief.

Zhou Mingsheng's house is a very ordinary small courtyard.Obviously, even with the addition of so many magical stories, Zhou Mingsheng's wife and children, orphans and widows, still haven't lived a superior life, and they are still the lives of ordinary people.

However, given the economic conditions of Dakeng Village and the surrounding villagers, in terms of "feudal superstition", it is quite acceptable to support this family to live an ordinary life.After all, the villagers don't have much money to spend on this aspect.

At this moment, there is only one person in Zhou Mingsheng's family.It was a middle-aged and elderly woman with a slightly fat body and a weathered face.

"Big sister, these are some bosses from other places. I want to ask Master Zhou to see something."

The woman in front of her was obviously Zhou Mingsheng's wife.

The woman looked at Zhang Dingshan and the three of them, and Lu Ming also looked at her.

After a while, the woman turned her head and walked, and dropped a word forcefully while walking.

"Can't see, don't see."
