I take a little action, that's the limit

On the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month in , Longjiabao Village, Dankou, Hunan Province.

In a dilapidated thatched house, you can faintly hear the noise of people.

"Yuan Renpu, how did you agree to me in the first place?" a gray-haired old man asked.

Opposite him was a middle-aged man with some gray hair on his temples and a cane. This lame man was exactly the Yuan Renpu the old man mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Renpu carefully put the crying baby in his arms into the arms of an ugly woman. He smiled indifferently, took the old man's hand and went straight to Longming Mountain outside the village. He walked halfway up the mountain, pointed to an open space and said : "Cousin, my life is about to end. When I die, bury me here. Remember, you can't put clothes on me or use a coffin. The oath will be fulfilled in less than a year."

The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, then walked away.

The reason why he is so angry starts with the history of the Yuan family.

During the Qing Dynasty, the Yuan family was a famous family in eight towns across ten miles. It is said that at the peak of the Yuan family, there was a fourth-level Taoist priest.

Of course, it is not unreasonable to say that one cannot be rich for more than three generations. By the time of Yuan Renpu's generation, the situation was no longer what it used to be. Except for a seventh-grade county magistrate, there was no more capable person.

The seventh-grade county magistrate was the cousin who questioned Yuan Renpu. However, that has become a thing of the past. Now, magistrate Yuan has retired and returned to his hometown, becoming an ordinary person.

Seeing that his family's fortunes were in decline, and most of the children in the clan were lazy and lazy, the old man came to Yuan Renpu's house to consult.

There is no other reason. Yuan Renpu is a Feng Shui master who travels around the world.

At that time, the theory of Feng Shui was very popular. From the emperors, generals and ministers to the common people, they all believed in the mysterious art of Feng Shui and the mysterious theory of Feng Shui. This also made the famous Feng Shui masters highly respected. .

Indeed, a good Feng Shui layout can not only keep the family members in good health, but also help them become officials and benefit future generations.

I originally wanted to ask Yuan Renpu to see if there was something wrong with his family's feng shui, but that didn't work out. Yuan Renpu always made excuses. This time, it was better. He just made such an excuse. From the old man's point of view, Yuan Renpu was clearly playing tricks on him.

But what he didn't expect was that three days later, Yuan Renpu really died.

On the day of Yuan Renpu's funeral, the sky was filled with thunder and wind, and it was so dark that he couldn't see his fingers. The old man took four strong men and wrapped his body in a mat according to Yuan Renpu's previous instructions and buried him in the open space.

Everything was done according to Yuan Renpu's instructions, but no one expected that Yuan Renpu in the tomb was wearing a pair of shorts, which his wife couldn't bear to put on secretly for him. According to her, death How could I leave naked?

That night, there were constant thunders, and the dark night sky seemed to be torn open with holes, which were as bright as day.

The next day, the peaceful small mountain village exploded because a villager who got up early to farm said that something big had happened to Yuan Renpu's tomb.

After the village chief said hello, the men in the village rushed to Fengming Mountain with shovels and wooden sticks. Yuan Renpu's cousin was naturally among them.

Everyone looked at it intently and gasped.

I saw the small grave mound where Yuan Renpu was buried, standing quietly on the same spot as yesterday. Looking along the grave mound toward the mountain, the trees along the way were leaning this way and that, and the originally hard hillside was also arched. The long ridges were like the ridges raised by gophers, only much larger. The ridges of soil extend all the way to the towering mountain peaks, with no end as far as the eye can see.

An outspoken villager blurted out: "Isn't Renpu's body picked up by a corpse-bearing monster?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" the village chief scolded sternly, but his gray eyebrows knitted together.

Although the village chief interrupted the man's unintentional remarks, everyone's expressions became extremely solemn.

Relying on the large number of people, the villagers still followed the ridges and cautiously explored the mountain. Finally, when they reached the Tianchi at the top of the mountain, they saw a half-human, half-demon monster lying on the edge of the pool from a distance. The monster's upper body , has been submerged in the water, and the lower body is less than half a meter away from the water.

Several young and strong men bravely poked the monster with the tools in their hands. Seeing that it didn't respond, they looked at each other and dragged the dying monster out of the water.

The monster was very strange. It had scales on its body and two horns on its head. Its whole body was as black as coal, as if it had been baptized by thunder and lightning. A pair of shorts had been retreated to his feet. Everyone could clearly see that under the shorts, there were clearly two white tender legs. human feet.

The monster's appearance already looks like half a dragon.

The villagers suddenly realized that the thunder last night was actually attacking this monster that defied the sky.

In the countryside, there is a saying that all monsters who want to achieve immortality must go through a thunder tribulation. It seems that the guy in front of me wants to become an immortal, but it did not survive the thunder tribulation last night.

People respect the gods, but those who have failed are obviously not among them.

At the village chief's signal, the villagers separately found branches and firewood, intending to light a fire to burn the monster to death. At this moment, the monster called out to his cousin.

The old man recognized Yuan Renpu's voice, stopped the villagers' movements, and asked, "Is it Renpu?"

The monster nodded, and two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

The old man ran over and asked, Renpu, are you not dead? How did it become like this?

The monster let out a long sigh and said quietly, maybe God's will is like this.

As he spoke, he whispered a few words into the old man's ear and died.

Only then did the old man understand that it was those shorts that had harmed Yuan Renpu. Otherwise, he would have been flying in the nine heavens at this time.

It didn't take long for the old man's family to pack up their things and leave the village with Yuan Renpu's wife and children. After all, no one could bear to be talked about every day.

Later, a villager who went up the mountain to collect medicine said that he had seen Yuan Renpu's cousin in front of an ancient tomb in the mountains. There was also a young child beside him. They looked sneaky, as if they were robbing the tomb. Everyone Hearing this, everyone laughed and said, Yuan Renpu's cousin was also a parent official, how could he do something that was detrimental to his morality?

But I know that what the villager said is true, because the child following the old man is my grandfather.
