Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 650, Grave digging

A slightly peaceful New Year, with crackling firecrackers, the same process as last year, except that there are many more people (demons) (fishes) in the Taoist temple this year, such as an inexplicably extra daughter, and an inexplicably extra Fathead fish, and Baichen, which cannot settle pollutants.

Xiao Suli drank a little wine, and immediately turned into a human form, a pretty girl, and like all children, she has an inexplicable passion and love for firecrackers, especially those small sand cannons that blare when they hit the ground
Today Liu Yanli was surprisingly quiet, not making any fuss, just sitting on the small steps, holding a cup of tea, with a peaceful smile on her face, watching Xiao Su Li happily playing, not at all like a girl who is usually [-] years old The demeanor is like an old woman looking at her granddaughter.

Even Bai Chen stopped playing mobile games and dating apps like Momo.

"How did you spend the New Year before?" Li Yun asked curiously.

"Well, these years are okay, I lived with the children, but it was different before." Liu Yanli recalled the days and months of her n hundred years: "Sometimes I live alone, and the neighbors look at me pitifully, Just give me a bowl of longevity noodles or something, but I haven’t really had a good New Year.”

That's an understatement, but it's still pretty lonely.

"There is no such thing as Chinese New Year in Heaven. However, I happened to meet Chinese New Year when I went down to perform missions. People greeted me as an [outsider] with joy. There is no barrier of identity, no distance between people, only the last Pure joy. Oh yes, there was a Nian beast who wanted to come to the village to do things, but I killed him." Bai Chen muttered.

I am most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
"Dry the Nian beast?" Li Yun wondered if he heard it wrong.

"That's right, they were killed with firecrackers. Chinese New Year, the purest, the original meaning is to use fireworks and firecrackers to drive away the Nian Beast. It's just that a long time ago, firecrackers were used to kill the Nian Beast instead of driving it away." Bai Bai Shen said: "The so-called Nian Beast is such a concept. Maybe at the beginning, it was just a beast or fear, but over time, this fear became a concept, a product of Huaxia's consciousness collection, The [Evil Beast] that will appear during the Chinese New Year is actually quite sad, since it was born, it was a [Concept] that was destined to be driven away, and it couldn’t even be done by itself.”

Li Yun understands that, as the system and Xia mentioned, these innate incense spirits were born from human concepts and beliefs. Evil, good is good.

While faith empowers them to reach the sky, it also restricts their way of life. This reminds Li Yun of a sentence mentioned in a certain martial arts novel - people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

"For these concepts that are inherently [evil], it may be a good thing that the world loses miracles. Now the Chinese New Year is really a Chinese New Year. Let's all be confident." Bai Chen showed a long-lost smile, There is no usual wretchedness, only the purest smile.

At this time, Bai Chen turned into a white dragon, swinging in the sky, the white dragon passed the sun, and Ruixiang appeared to protect the earth with blessings.
"Mom, let's play with firecrackers"

"I'm coming."

Hanxiang is really like a qualified old lady, taking care of Xiao Suli, while setting off firecrackers, she also reminded her to stay away from this thing, don't be burned by sparks, but child, why would you care about these things, naturally what Happy how to play.

When I was enjoying myself in the Taoist temple, many people came up to worship the mountain at the foot of the mountain. Compared with last year, there are more people coming today, from the previous pilgrims, to the people who helped before, and the things they brought. Call more than one.

In particular, police officer Wang Qing brought something called [Dried Squid Braised with Heather Flowers], and even Ah Er couldn't stand the taste.

In fact, Li Yun really likes this flavor.
"It's strange, why didn't the villagers come up to worship the mountain?" Li Yun muttered, it's not that he was extravagantly asking the villagers to come to worship the mountain, but it just felt a little strange. In the past, Xiao Hei and Aunt Zhao were the fastest to worship the mountain during Chinese New Year. They were right, but today neither the village chief nor Aunt Zhao, not even Xiao Hei came to pay their respects.

This is very strange--

At this time, Xiaobai, who was peeping at others taking off their feathers outside, returned to the Taoist temple.

"There are some things I want to tell you. Those people at the bottom of the mountain are so strange. They all gathered in one place."

"Gathered in one place?" Li Yun was a little surprised. Could it be that they set off firecrackers collectively?

After directly opening his heart, Xiaobai's thoughts flooded into Li Yun's mind. Although he was mentally prepared, it still seemed that there was a strong sense of shame welling up in his heart.

This Xiaobai is really a master of voyeurism, various postures, various movements, hidden in places that no one knows, using the sharpest and most innocent eyes to study the movements of young women taking off their feathers, and There are also a lot of appreciation experience being sent over.

[This feather is not good, the combination of red and green is simply inferior to Ah Er's fart, a failure. 】

[The feathers that are too exposed, without any seductive beauty at all, fail. 】

【This bird really can't understand, why, why is the whole body wrapped up, although it is very bad to be too exposed, but too tight is a failure in failure. 】

[This is very good, the exposure is just right, the body is not completely exposed, and it gives room for reverie, which is not the so-called taste according to who said it]

"Okay, don't pass on these nonsense things to me, I can't bear it." Li Yun really couldn't complain, how did Xiaobai become like this, and he was really too strong to be able to speak hooligans in a serious tone.
Through Xiaobai's mind, everything it saw was presented in front of Li Yun.

Not to mention that the villagers did not come to worship the mountain, even they themselves did not celebrate the New Year, but all gathered in one place.
After sharing this video, Li Yun knows why no one in the village pays homage to the mountains during the Chinese New Year.
Li Yun packed up his things, came down the mountain, and saw the angry crowd.

And the messy scene in front of me.

The grave in Xiangtou Mountain Village has been dug!
There is a public cemetery not far from Xiangtou Mountain. Although there are many people buried on the mountain, there are also many people buried in the public cemetery. For the people in the mountain village, both the forest and the public cemetery are The ancestral graves of one's own family are places where one's family can rest in peace.

However, this resting place has been messed up by people. The scene can be described as horrible. Originally, this place was sparsely populated and not many people passed by. In the scene, some older people almost had a cerebral hemorrhage when they saw their graveyard look like this.

That was the ancestor being humiliated!No one can bear such a thing, and there are some relatives who have passed away in recent years, so the emotional impact can be imagined.

No matter where people are, the digging of ancestral graves is a never-ending thing. It is a feud. Generally, no one will do this, and they will not do such a thankless thing that cuts off their own future, but this fact is In fact, his family's grave was indeed dug in pieces.

The villagers all gathered on the grave, and Village Chief Yang was so angry that his beard was trembling when he saw the messy scene in front of him, who was so vicious and did such a thing.

"Mr. Yang, your blood pressure has risen again. Calm down, calm down."

"I'm not angry! How can I calm down? The graves in our village! The old and new graves have been dug up. What an enmity against us!" Village Chief Yang said angrily.

Zhao Qiang's expression was also ugly, but he knew that the current situation should be rational. He never thought that such things as digging mountains and digging graves and taking human bones would happen to him in his own village.

Even the bones of his younger sister Zhao Xiaoqu were stolen, and many bones were stolen from those ancestral tombs, some of which were thrown directly on the ground. It seemed like he was making a huge joke, but he was the The kidding side.

Using ancestral graves as a joke can't go too far.

"Who did such a crazy thing?" One of the middle-aged men hesitated, "Could it be someone from the next village?"

Li Yun on the side knows that the village next door is smaller than Xiangtou Mountain Village, and there was a period of festivals with Xiangtou Mountain Village for a period of time, and there was a big fight because of land disputes for a while. Yes, there were bloody incidents, that's right, a brat passed by forcefully during the confrontation, and was so frightened that he fell down and his knees bleed a lot.

Under normal circumstances, when the collective interests of a village are harmed, the first thing that comes to mind is the good deeds done by the neighboring village. There are also many such mutual conflicts.

"Even if we have conflicts, we shouldn't engage in such feuds. At best, there is no need for such a big conflict. I know their village chief, and he doesn't seem to be the one who would encourage the villagers to do this." Although Zhao Qiang was also Anger dazzled my head, but my thoughts were still quite clear. On the contrary, I felt that the possibility of doing it in the next village was the lowest.

"Maybe the villagers did it themselves, some people in our village are upset," one of them muttered.

Now Zhao Qiang was at a loss for words, it was indeed possible that some people who were unhappy with the village did it, and some people would do similar things regardless of the interests of the village.

"If it wasn't for them, why should others dig our graves? I heard that their village was unscathed!"

"Yes, they must have done it!"

"Can we bear this? Kill them!"

The crowd was excited, shouting and cursing, and the scene became more and more difficult to control. Whether it was done by the next village or not, what many villagers want now is just a channel to vent their anger.

Zhao Qiang really wanted to appease the crowd, but the voice of one person seemed too small in the crowd, and he was drowned out by the louder voices of the crowd before he even said a word.

Seeing that the situation was a bit out of control, Li Yun waved the whisk in his hand, and the group meditation technique spread among the crowd.

Under the Meditation Technique, the emotions of these villagers became a little more stable.
"Don't be impatient, everyone. Pindao understands everyone's feelings very well, but if you think about it carefully, is it really necessary for the people in the next village to have a death feud with us?" Li Yun said: "It happened before. Even if it is the most serious conflict, do we have any reason to offend each other to death? On the contrary, when our village was hit by a disaster last time, the neighbor village also came to condolences to us."

After Li Yun's words, the surrounding villagers calmed down a little bit, but the excitement of the crowd was still indispensable.

"But... but other than those who have enemies with us, why would they come to dig our graves? You must know that we have nothing to be buried with us, and it is impossible for us to be grave robbers!" One of the middle-aged men couldn't help but retorted.

This Xiangtou Mountain Village may now be a well-off village. The things that are buried with the deceased relatives are at most a pot of good wine, incense during the New Year, a golden roast suckling pig, and a salt-baked fat chicken.

Almost everyone ruled out the option of grave robbers
"Master, do you think it's possible that it's just a pervert?" Zhao Qiang couldn't make up his mind right now.

Li Yun didn't speak, his celestial eyes flickered, and he glanced over the uncovered coffins and remains.

No definite result is seen, the line of cause and effect is very blurred, and no result can be seen clearly.

The causal thread of these scattered bones is even more connected to their family members.

Even for the dead, the only concern between them and the living world is their family members.

"Master." Zhao Qiang carefully looked at the thinking Li Yun, not daring to take a breath.

After a long time, Li Yuncai said slowly: "Do you think that the bones were handled too deliberately? Simply destroying the bones in the future and destroying the bones is like...as if they were deliberately dug out and scattered on the ground. People feel like they're being provoked, or they're playing a prank."

"So it's really a simple pervert or a psychopath? How can the folks explain it?" Zhao Qiang's face was very ugly. It would be too wrong if his family's graveyard turned into such a ghost because of a psychopath or a pervert. Bar.

Village Chief Yang's face is also very ugly. If it is really a pervert or a psychopath, even the police will have a hard time finding such a person. After all, it is very difficult to find a crime without purpose and motive except by witnessing.

Li Yun shook his head, squinted his eyes and said.

"The purpose of this act of destroying the bones may be to make us associate with the village next door for the first time. This is to cover up their real purpose."
