Chapter 4: The Mysterious Case of Xigang

  "Haha, you think you can take me on? You're just a little kid. Go back home now, I'm in a good mood and don't want to bother with you."

  "Hmm, looks like you're still a young and inexperienced kid. If I were alive, I'd still be able to play with you, haha. This damn widow is really something."

  Just now still didn't have the energy, this young man is arrogant, let him be stimulated like this, damn it, I must take you down today.

  "I've been thinking of you for a while now, do you know Yang Xiaoyang and Yang Daochang?"

  "What? You're referring to Yang Daozhang of the Yinsi Court?" This sentence really stunned him, my second uncle's name was indeed effective.

  He's already dead and gone, what can he do to me?

  "He is Yang Daochang's first disciple, Niu Shanyun's big brother." What nonsense about being the chief of some closed door.

  "I advise you to leave quickly, I'll help you ascend, you can reincarnate early, the paths of humans and ghosts are different, don't be obstinate." I spoke calmly, but my heart was actually in turmoil.

  The people behind them started discussing, "Don't look down on this little brother, he's actually quite fierce. Those few who came before couldn't even get a word out, they just went up and started tearing at each other. Looks like there's some potential here."

  Everyone's expectations of me are getting higher and higher, but my pressure is also getting bigger and bigger.

  This enraged these old ladies, "Well, you try it then." They charged at me like lunatics and bit me.

  "Hold her down, hold her down quickly." Eight big men held. I was still knocked over by her.

  "Damn it, I won't drink the toast but will drink the penalty wine. If I, Niú Shān Yún, can't subdue you, then I'll go down to see Second Grandfather." The others scattered away, thinking I was going to cast a spell.

  "I'll accompany you to the end."

  "Get her under control and find me a grave for her." Actually, I just wanted to take out my anger on her grave, but unexpectedly, this hit the nail on the head and really got her under control.

  "Big brother, big brother, let's talk it over, let's talk it over." The old lady was really scared, and begged for mercy at once.

  "It's either you kill me or I kill you, you damned bitch."

  "The village head's wife said, 'You're right, that widow was a shrew when she was alive. The villagers couldn't stand her, so no one paid attention to her affairs.' However, the village head's wife still hadn't vented her anger and was arguing with the village head."

  He led a group of people to walk away, "All those who belong to the snake, horse, and chicken zodiac signs, as well as those with moles on their forehead or soles of their feet, stay behind. Women and children, stay behind."

  Suddenly deleted two-thirds of the people. Went to the tomb on the opposite mountain, and now it seems a bit understandable.

  Took out "Luan Shan Secret Method" and compared it for a while, "Hmm, not bad, that's right. The mobile phone mobile terminal first launch address:

  "Big brother, can you see the way out?"

  "The village head, this widow lived a humble life before her death, and there was still an unborn child in her belly when she died. She had endless resentment in her heart. Therefore, after death, it would be best to cremate the body with fire, burn the corpse to ashes, and turn into green smoke. However, instead of using cremation, they used burial. Burial is fine, but there was no coffin, and the terrain where she was buried was so high that the corpse absorbed the earth's energy, causing the earth's energy to connect with the resentment, and the earth's energy nourished the corpse. This is what we call 'the person dies but the corpse does not die'. In Feng Shui, it is called 'corpse fragrance'."

  "Corpse incense."

  "Right, corpse incense."

  "The burial site is so high, and the village's terrain is so low, that after a heavy rain, the water vapor evaporates and forms miasma. The corpse gas spreads from the soil, accompanied by the humid heat, shrouding the entire mountain village. Those villagers who herd cattle and sheep on the mountain will be wrapped in this thing and contract dampness poison, which cannot be cured for a long time. I bet that the corpses are absolutely not yet decomposed."

  "Big brother, stop messing around, I'm timid. This has been dead for so long and still hasn't decomposed, I don't believe it." The village chief shook his head like a rattle drum.

  "That's right, you said that the wet poison thing is reliable. Every time the children who herd cattle come back, they have diarrhea all day long, and it's always that sticky black stuff. They're weak all over, and Zhao Laocong, the cowherd boy, finally got married, but he can't have kids. The doctor said it's because of the wet poison, Ah, big brother, you're really amazing."

  The village chief said that, and the rest of the villagers all gave a thumbs up. A few of them discussed among themselves, "This young man is still so young and hasn't found a partner yet, my daughter is about the same age as him."

  This time I really blushed.

  "Yes, damp toxin. Damp toxin is like rheumatism, it's the natural energy that seeps into the body through the skin, and this kind of toxin is hard to get rid of." I reluctantly said a few words to ease the awkwardness.

  "I counted the days with my fingers, 'Today is not a good day, tomorrow everyone will set up firewood in the wheat field, I'll go back and calm down that demon first, we'll dig up the corpse tomorrow and cut off its vital energy, this matter will be settled then.'"

  "Ah, great brother, with your words, we people of Xichuan Village are saved. I represent the people of Xichuan Village to thank you, great brother. Tonight, let's get drunk and celebrate! Others quickly joined in, "Great brother, you're really a high-ranking person. You settled this matter with just two words. We people of Xichuan thank you!"

  The village chief is really a fool, shouting on the village committee's loudspeaker, "Hey, hey, I'm Village Chief Ren Guoxiang, I'm Village Chief Ren Guoxiang. Our brother Niushan Yun from Wuxi Village has made great contributions to us, and tonight we'll gather at my place. The day after tomorrow, our Brother Niu will exorcise demons for us, so if anyone wants to thank him, bring it along."

  This spread quickly, and soon the whole county knew that a young man had intimidated a hundred-year-old demon with just two sentences. He was said to ride on a crane while walking, and was extremely handsome. The girls from all over were eager to marry him, but he didn't even give them a glance.

  This is almost driving me crazy.

  Having eaten and drunk enough at night, there is still evidence to be done the next day. If the widow's spirit is not put to rest, it will be a waste of effort if it is attached elsewhere.

  The dog egg his mother that Ga Da didn't stay long, Hei Wa his father again called me Niú Shān Yún Niú Dào Cháng to go, other people are not allowed to see, otherwise they will bite their tongue and die.

  When he heard this, Hei Wa's mother was anxious. Hei Wa's family is a wealthy household in the village east, with a broken motorcycle that was considered top-notch at the time, comparable to a Mercedes-Benz now. His father rode the motorcycle back home, and when he was going uphill, his father felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it. The motorcycle wouldn't budge, no matter how hard he tried. Just as he lit a cigarette, the road caught fire.

  He rode a motorcycle with me, on the rural roads, a wisp of smoke and dust mixed together, this feeling is not bad.

  Hehehe, originally a small village, stepped on the accelerator and arrived in an instant.

  Heiwa's mother was afraid that his father would kill himself, so she took a rag and rolled it into a ball to stuff into his mouth. The village chief ordered that in order to avoid harming humans or animals, they had to tie him up securely with five knots. Heiwa, holding back tears, helped his sister and mother tie up his father, "Father, I'm unfilial, but I have no choice."

  "This whole way was bumpy and I didn't even get to drink water, 'It's over, I didn't bring the two books, what kind of talisman can I draw now? It's not reliable for me to take it myself.'"

  Hei Wa's father stared at me with his beady eyes and said, "You, what are you staring at?"

  "That's my dad, can you be more polite?" Hei Wa begged.

  "Heiwa, why are you so disobedient? That's not your dad anymore." His mother said this and Heiwa was a bit stunned. "Ah." "No, what I mean is that the dad you're talking about isn't the same as the other dad. Oh dear, oh dear, everything is all messed up. Just listen to big brother."

  "Comrade Qian's widow, I'm giving you one last chance. Chairman Mao often taught us that it's not a big deal to make mistakes, as long as you're willing to correct them and do so in time, then you can still be a good comrade."

  "Go and loosen his mouth."

  "That won't do, what if Heiwa's father kills himself?"

  The village chief also came, "I said big sister, who is Niu Shan Yun and Niu Da brothers? Why don't you believe him yet? Hurry up and get it. What's the matter? Brother Niu, don't mind, rural people are uncultured."

  This is ridiculous, I'm almost a college student and you want me to perform some kind of ritual for you.

  "Haha, Niu Shan Yun Niudao Chang, you think breaking my tomb is nothing? If I don't get what I want from this old black man, what can you do to me?"

  "Alas, our ancestors, we Zhang family were not bad to you, Widow Qian, at the beginning. We didn't interfere with each other's business, how could you cause so much trouble for our Zhang family?"

  "Hmph, aren't you going to invite some Taoist priest to exorcise me? Go ahead, I'll attach myself to you forever and make sure you never become human in this lifetime."

  "You demon, I, Niu Shanyun, have given you an opportunity, and yet you don't cherish it. Don't blame me for being ruthless."

  "You think you can take me down with just your little tricks?"

  "Niu Shanyun, if you don't leave today, I'll first kill this black charcoal, then kill the village chief, and make this village restless. You all listen carefully."

  This widow is really ruthless. She came up with such a vicious move, and later on, people started discussing, "If this Taoist priest can't get things done, our whole village will be in trouble. If all else fails, let's just send him away, at least we won't have any bloodshed."

  "What you said makes sense, but this can't go on like this." "Then what's your solution? Maybe in another ten or eight years, it'll be gone."

  The village chief was also confused for a moment, "Big brother, what can we do about this?"

  I, who have never experienced anything major, am now scared. If this matter is not accomplished, it will not only tarnish the reputation of my master Yang Xiaojun, but also ruin the signboard of Lianshan Sect, and the countless黎明百姓 are still suffering in the midst of water and fire.

  The village chief said at this time, "We are a socialist team. We believe in Marxism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory as our important guiding direction. We must eliminate all the evil spirits that hinder the development of socialism. So, fellow villagers, don't be afraid. Let Niu Shan Yun and Niu Daochang take up their weapons to fight against these evil spirits. We must support Niu Daochang, he's doing a great job."

  What's going on here? I don't know why but it makes me feel uncomfortable just listening to them.

  "The cow is quite good." Under the village chief's instigation, the widow who had thought she had some chance of winning now seemed hopeless and flew into a rage again, rushing forward and trying to bite me. However, this time I was prepared, and with one kick and a slap, it became obedient.

  "Stop hitting him, he's my dad!"

  "Black doll, get out of the way, I'm telling you this dad is not your dad."

  The talisman paper was laid out, and the finger dipped into the cinnabar in his bosom. He didn't know if he drew it correctly or not, relying on his own memory to scribble a symbol, which he slapped onto the black doll's father's forehead, sticking tightly to it.

  "Niu Shanyun, even if I become a ghost, I won't let you off."

  He took the prepared snuff and rubbed it on Hei Wa's father's nose. Hei Wa's father let out a huge sneeze, followed by a loud fart, and slowly woke up.

  "It seems that this charm really works, it seems that the cowhide is not blown, the train is not pushed, Mount Tai is not piled up, and the Luo pot is not carried on the back."

  "Alright, folks, this thing has me stumped for the time being. To really get to the root of it, we need to dig up the grave and burn the corpse."

  "Good." The village chief shouted loudly, scaring me to death, and then a burst of applause erupted.
