Chapter 23: Re-emergence

  The next day, the village was in an uproar. Zhang's old man personally led a group of people to the riverbank to investigate and indeed found Ma Liu's clothes not far away from the riverbank. It's unknown whether it was psychological or what. At this time, a gentle breeze blew by the river, and everyone felt a chill run down their spines. Looking at the calm river surface, they couldn't shake off the feeling that the surroundings were eerie and ghostly, as if a pair of scarlet eyes was staring at them from the darkness, making their hearts feel uneasy...

  Feeling the subtle atmosphere around him, the old man also broke out in a cold sweat. He thought to himself: This time it's for sure, let's hurry up and leave! So he called out to the crowd to quickly depart. The group of over ten people hastily climbed up the high slope and ran towards the village.

  After returning to the village, the old man ordered someone to ring the assembly bell at the village entrance. After gathering all the men and women of the village, he had someone bring out Ma Liu's clothes and asked Feng Erpi to recount the events in detail in front of everyone. For a time, people were in an uproar, and things became chaotic.

  Later, it was still the old man's eldest son, Zhang Shouren, who settled the scene and said first: "Dad, you are the highest in our village generation and the oldest in age. I think you should take charge?"

  The old man took two puffs of his dry tobacco, glanced at Zhang Shouren and said: "Kid, it's not your dad selling out. If this were a bandit or a beast, I'd have ways to deal with it. But now that we're dealing with a ghost, I really don't have any good methods, I think we should discuss this together." After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and continued smoking.

  Everyone listened, and the big boss of the five rivers was at a loss for what to do. This time it's really messy! Suddenly everything was in disarray again, with people saying all sorts of things, shouting and quarreling. In the end, someone even suggested relocating the village, saying that this place is no longer habitable.

  The old man was so annoyed that his brain hurt. He couldn't take it anymore, so he slammed the bench to the ground and scolded, "What the hell are you all yelling about? You're all scared just because one Mazi died? It's really embarrassing!" After finishing, he turned around a few times on the ground, blowing his beard and glaring.

  Everyone saw the old man get angry, and no one dared to make a noise anymore. Later, someone came up with an idea, saying that if all else fails, they would invite some Taoist priests back to exorcise the demon.

  The old man listened and directly waved his hand: "Fart, how many of those Taoist priests are really skilled? Most of them are just swindlers, muddling along, and all they can do is take a look at the feng shui!" As he said this, the old man's eyes suddenly lit up, and with a loud laugh, he slapped his own bald head.

  Everyone was stunned by the old man's actions, thinking: This old thing is really a dog-faced person, with unpredictable emotions, and his face changes as soon as he speaks. Just now he was still scolding, but now he has turned gloomy to sunny, and even the old wrinkles are smiling.

  Only the old man muttered to himself: "It's really confusing when something happens! This old monkey is gone, but the little monkey is still there!" After finishing speaking, the old man beckoned Zhang Shouren: "Old Zhang, you go personally and invite Mr. Wang Sigou from Longshan Pharmacy in the city."

  Zhang Shouren was stunned after hearing this and thought to himself: What's the use of inviting a doctor who only knows how to prescribe medicine? Do I really need to go invite him myself?

  The old man saw Zhang Shouren's confusion and whispered to him, "Don't underestimate him, I used to have a relationship with his master, they are not ordinary medicine sellers, his master is a real geomancer, a famous 'earth dragon'!"

  The grave robber, is the underworld slang for tomb raiders in the old society, also known as "Doudou" in the north and "Taosha" in the south, and "Fanban" in some places. In the past, no matter what profession, there was a strict system, and this tomb robbing profession was no exception.

  The title of "Tomb Raider" is a symbol of status and prestige in the tomb raiding community. Without this title, you are nothing but a lowly thief or a mere errand boy. To earn the title of "Tomb Raider", one must possess exceptional abilities and skills that command respect from others. Secondly, one must have good moral character and be well-liked by others in the community, earning their recognition and admiration. Only then can one attain this esteemed title.

  This dragon and the dragon are not the same, divided into levels: dragon head, dragon body, and dragon tail. The further back the level, the smaller it is. Each level is also divided into small levels, and the rules are quite strict. Not only are the rules strict, but each layer also has its own set of phrases. For example, the dragon tail is called "Qinglong bai wei ji dao guang" (Green Dragon Swishes Tail with Several Glows), with a maximum of three glows. The dragon body is called "Jinjia longshen ji zhi zhao" (Golden Armor Dragon Body with Several Claws), with a maximum of five claws. The dragon head is even more particular, with phrases like "Feitian longtou (yi dao xu)" (Flying Heaven Dragon Head with One Whisker) and "Feitian longtou (shuang longyan)" (Flying Heaven Dragon Head with Double Dragon Eyes). The largest ladle handle is called "Feitian longtou chong tianjiao" (Flying Heaven Dragon Head Rushing to the Heavens), and there are no smaller levels of characters in this layer.

  In the past, when people met on the black path, if they didn't know each other, they would greet each other with a nod. A gesture, a few words could tell you what kind of person someone was, what level they were at, and the smaller ones would always be suppressed by the bigger ones.

  Wang Sigou's master was extraordinary, with a golden armor and dragon body with five claws, just one step away from becoming the Dragon Head.

  Today, there were not many people in the clinic. Wang Sigou was dozing off on the counter when he heard the shop assistant at the door calling out: "Hey, isn't that Young Master Zhang from Wudao River? What wind brought you here? If you had sent someone with a message, it would have been enough, who dared to trouble you to come in person?" After finishing speaking, he stepped aside and welcomed him with a flattering smile.

  Zhang Shouren nodded: "I'm here to find Wang Sigou, Mr. Wang's... will the master be at home?"

  Wang Sigou originally wanted to give that shop assistant a signal, meaning to tell him to say he wasn't in. But unexpectedly the shop assistant pretended not to see it, pointed at the counter and said with a smile: "The master is taking a nap on the counter right now, if you have any business, I'll go call him."

  Zhang Shouren smiled and waved his hand at the shopkeeper, then pulled out a large silver coin from his pocket and tossed it to him.

  This fellow took a look, and with a big smile on his face, he received the reward of one hundred dollars! At that moment, he was so happy that tears of joy were welling up in his eyes. After repeatedly expressing gratitude, he bowed and scraped as he walked away. Wang Sigou watched this scene with growing indignation in his heart, thinking to himself: "Haven't I paid you your wages? This is really humiliating for me!" However, despite feeling humiliated, when he saw Zhang Shourén walking towards him, Wang Sigou could no longer pretend to be asleep. He straightened up and asked him, "Are you here to see a patient or to grab some medicine?"

  Zhang Shouren looked up and down at Wang Sigou, feeling that he was just an ordinary middle-aged man, nothing special. However, since the old man had spoken, he himself should be more polite. So, facing Wang Sigou, he bowed his hands and explained his purpose. ?? Si Xiao Yin Men 23

  Wang Sigou was stunned after listening, thinking to himself: This old man had a relationship with my master back in the day. However, since Master's passing, they've lost touch. How come now, he suddenly remembers to invite me? But no matter what, I still have to make an appearance; it can't be that just because Master is gone, everything becomes cold and distant, right? After all, I still have to live here.

  He got up, said a few words to his partner, and was about to go get the medicine box when he was stopped by Zhang Shouren. Wang Sigou didn't understand what he meant, so he looked at Zhang Shouren's elegant smile: "Sir, there's no need to take the medicine box, we're not going to see a patient."

  "Not here for medical treatment? Then what did your old man come to me for?"

  Zhang Shouren looked around mysteriously, saw that there was no one beside him, and then stuck his mouth to Wang Sigou's ear, saying in a low voice: "Suppress the demon!"
