ghost craftsman

Chapter 72
When Xu Jianguo heard Qin Lao San's question, he looked over at me, took out a cigarette, lit it with shaking hands, took a deep breath, and said, "It's better that you don't know about this... this... this matter."

"Why?" Qin Laosan and I asked at the same time.

He stared at the two of us for a while, and said, "This is our village's secret. Once it is revealed, great things will happen."

I couldn't sit still anymore, so I hurriedly said, "So many people have died, it's not a big deal!"

He shook his head, stopped and said: "This is just the beginning, it's not a big deal, the real big deal is..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a slight noise at the door. I turned my head and saw a black shadow fleeing away with lightning speed.

Qin Laosan and I looked at each other, neither of us spoke, but Xu Jianguo seemed to know something, got up abruptly, walked to the door, knelt down, with a very pious attitude, kowtowed to the door, and kept muttering , "Master, Jiashangeng, Yishanxin, Maoshanyou, the monkey and mouse king, the room was bullied again."

Hearing this, I was very curious. The characters A and B should refer to the ten heavenly stems, while Mao should refer to the twelve earthly branches. What did he mean by this?
As far as we ghost craftsmen are concerned, the ten heavenly stems and the twelve earthly branches can be mixed and matched. The hills are not really big mountains, nor can they compare with the one hundred thousand mountains in Guangxi.

But the two mountains, Jia and B, in the eyes of our ghost craftsmen, refer to the three mountains and five mountains. The three mountains are Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. It is called the Three Mountains), but in the eyes of our ghost craftsmen, we only recognize Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou as the three mountains. According to the records of "Historical Records The Chronicle of Qin Shihuang", Xu Fu from Qi wrote a letter saying that there are three sacred mountains in the sea, named: Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. Yingzhou.

We ghost craftsmen have always paid attention to digging out the roots and asking ancestors when doing things, so we only recognize Penglai and other three mountains, and in some schools of Taoism, they are no different from us ghost craftsmen.

The Five Sacred Mountains are Dongyue Taishan, Xiyue Huashan, Nanyue Hengshan, Beiyue Hengshan and Zhongyue Songshan.

What puzzles me is why did Xu Jianguo suddenly mention these things?
I stood up and was about to walk over, but the youngest Qin grabbed me and shook his head at me, while he walked to the side of Xu Jianguo, knelt down beside Xu Jianguo, followed his example, and kowtowed to the door , Muttering those words in his mouth.

The two of them knelt for four or five minutes at the door before getting up.

What surprised me was that when Xu Jianguo got up, tears were streaming down his face. The third Qin asked him what was wrong, and he said that something big was going to happen to his village.

Hearing this, we were even more puzzled, and asked him why.

Then Xu Jianguo probably figured it out, sat down opposite me, and said slowly: "The reason why the three brothers of the Xu family want to build three houses seems to be to provide for their parents, but in fact...in fact...in fact, their parents have been dead for many years .”

"What…."

"What…."

Qin Laosan and I exclaimed and almost jumped up, this is too ridiculous, how could it be possible to build a house for the dead.

Wait, no, if the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family are really dead, people in this village should know about it!

Besides, there were quite a few carpenters who came to this village to pick up jobs. Even if I didn't know about it, someone should know about it!
I asked this question out.

Xu Jianguo explained to me that the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family died in other places, and the reason is unknown. The three brothers kept their funerals secret, so almost no one knew about it.
I asked him again how he knew.

He said that he had overheard Boss Xu's phone call, and I asked him why he didn't tell us earlier in the morning.

He didn't speak, but stood up tremblingly, walked towards the cabinet behind him, took out two rolls of RMB from the cabinet and placed them in front of us.

I get it, I guess it was Boss Xu who paid the hush money.

By the way, no wonder Xu Jianguo asked me to leave from the very beginning. He has been fiddling with me for a long time. He knew from the beginning that the parents of the three brothers of the Xu family were dead.

If this is the case, it means that the three houses are not Yang Zhai, but Yin Zhai.

God, built the yin house to the ground.

So what exactly do the three brothers of the Xu family want to do?

When I thought of this, I almost cursed. As the saying goes, the living have their way of life, and the dead have their way of death. If the three brothers of the Xu family did this, it would be tantamount to inverting yin and yang. No wonder I checked that house for a long time, but I didn’t find anything wrong at all. .

and many more.

I understand.

I really get it.

Yesterday in Mr. Xu's house, I found out where all the corpses were placed, and they all corresponded to the Xunfang Shuiraogan Bureau, except that there was no corpse in the eighth direction.If you guessed right, there is a corpse in the eighth direction, the corpse should be buried in the ground, and the owner of the corpse is the parents of the third Xu family brother.

According to the rule that the eldest brother passed down from the ancestors is the father, the corpse of the elder Xu's family should be their father, and the corpse of the second elder Xu's family should be their mother.

So here comes the question, whose corpse will Xu Lao San's family have?
Just when I was in a daze for a while, Xu Jianguo didn't know if he thought of something. His whole body seemed to be out of body, and he staggered a few steps in the room like a walking dead, muttering all the time. He said, "Although he is alive, who dares to be sure that he lives in a mansion, not a mansion."

I understood what he meant, but it was hard to ask, while Qin Laosan stared at Xu Jianguo in a daze, and asked, "What do you mean?"

I stood up and said, "Whether a mansion is a mansion or a mansion is a mansion depends mainly on the gate of the house. If the gate is upright, people are upright. Once the gate is crooked, no matter how good the house is, it is hard to tell whether the people living in it are dead or alive. "

After saying this, I wiped off my face, and the youngest Qin lowered his voice and reprimanded, "Chuanzi, what are you doing, you haven't finished asking!"

I sighed and pointed at Xu Jianguo, "You think he is like this, so what else can you ask?"

He looked along where my finger was pointing, and he hesitated, "But, Chuanzi, you don't want to know why the three brothers of the Xu family buried his parents in such a way?"

To be honest, I don't know the reason, but, the matter has come to this point, I believe the truth is not far away from us.

At the moment, I briefly said a few words to Xu Jianguo, basically we want to go to see the house of Xu Laosan, but Xu Jianguo didn't seem to hear me, and kept muttering the previous sentence in his mouth. asked, and pulled Qin Laosan out of his room.
