The old man was so angry that the movements of his hands were a little messy.

Yuan Shen took advantage of this moment, took a step forward, stretched out a hand, and pinched the old man's wrist holding the knife, "Uncle, we are all civilized people, why bother to use knives or guns, no matter it is

It’s not good either to hurt you or to hurt me, don’t you think so?”

The old man grinned in pain, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, "Boy, you..."

"Uncle, don't be angry. We have something to talk about. We just want to ask you something. We have no other intention." I stood up from the chair and came to the old man.

The old man gritted his teeth and snorted, "What do you want to ask?"

I took out a cigarette and handed it to the old man. The old man glanced at it and didn't take it. He didn't take it, so I took it back, put the cigarette in my mouth, lit it, took a breath, and then said, "You are Bai Caiyun."

Master?"

"Yes, that's right." The old man replied.

I nodded, "Bai Caiyun said that you passed away last winter. It seems that you are not dead, but just pretending to die. Why would a living person pretend to die? There must be some unknown reason.

Can you tell me?"

"Now that I've fallen into your hands, it's up to you to kill, scrape, and keep me as you please." The old man said very forcefully.

I bared my teeth and smiled, "Old man, we have a legal society now, and we are talking about harmony. We have no grudges against you in the past, and we will not kill you if we have no grudges today."

"Since you won't kill me, then let me go." The old man said.

"I won't kill them, but it's impossible to release them. Many people have died in the village. You have to give everyone an explanation, right?" I said unhurriedly.

"Explain, whatever explanation you want, it would be best if they all died. That is their retribution." The old man's voice became cold.

From these few words of conversation, one can roughly tell that the old man in front of him knows the whole story.

"You are right. Since ancient times, there has been revenge and grudges. This is a matter of course. However, even if this is the case, the four of them must understand that it is not true." I deliberately followed the other person's words to arouse their sympathy.

Affection.

Sure enough, the old man narrowed his eyes and said, "You really think our revenge is right."

"Of course." I nodded. "If my guess is correct, the three corpses in the secret room next door should be the mother and son who drowned in the well. I don't know what your relationship is with them. Why do you want to put them there?"

They're hiding here."

When the old man heard me mention the mother and son, his originally relaxed expression suddenly became tense, "You've seen them, what did you do to them?"

"They are fine, we didn't touch them." Yuan Shen said.

Seeing that the old man was a little doubtful, I said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and have a look."

While talking, I motioned for him to go over and take a look.

The old man opened the door and went out. Yuan Shen frowned and said, "Fellow Taoist, aren't you afraid that he will run away?"

"Don't worry, he won't run away. He seems to be thinking about the mother and son very much." I just saw the anxiety and worry in the old man's eyes. This is enough to show that he cares about the mother and son very much.

care.

"Why didn't I see it?" Yuan Shen said to himself.

"My child, you are still too young." I patted Yuan Shen on the shoulder.

In just a quarter of an hour, the old man walked in from outside. This time there was much less hostility in his eyes.

He entered the room, found a stool and sat down, and then touched his body. I guessed he was looking for cigarettes, so I handed him one and said, "Smoke mine."

This time he took it without being polite and clicked it.

Watching him smoking silently, I did not disturb him. Yuan Shen wanted to say something, but I stopped him.

It wasn't until he finished smoking a cigarette that the old man left the cigarette butt on the ground. Then he sighed and said, "My real name is Duan Mingshuang. We are from the same village as the woman in the secret room."

Duan Mingshuang started to talk about the past. It turned out that the woman's name was Gao Hongxia, and the two families lived next to each other. Duan Mingshuang and Gao Hongxia had played together since they were children. Duan Mingshuang was very good to Gao Hongxia on weekdays. Gao Hongxia would always treat her when she had something delicious to eat.

I was thinking about Duan Mingshuang. The two of them were childhood sweethearts.

Both families were also interested in bringing them together. Originally, they could live an ordinary and happy life. But I don’t know if God likes to joke with people. When Duan Mingshuang was ten years old, a big event happened in the Duan family. Duan Mingshuang’s father was there.

When I was returning home from work, I slipped and rolled down the cliff and died.

There were four siblings in the Duan family at that time. Duan Mingshuang was the eldest brother, and his youngest brother was still in his infancy. At that time, women basically took care of the housework at home, and men usually farmed and found some work to earn some money during their spare time.

Subsidize household expenses.

The mainstay of the Duan family died, and the source of their livelihood suddenly disappeared. Life suddenly became stretched.

This lasted for half a year. One day, an old man came to the village. This old man knew the art of Feng Shui and Yin and Yang. He immediately fell in love with Duan Mingshuang and wanted to accept him as his apprentice.

Duan Mingshuang was originally unwilling to go, but the old man told him that as long as he learned his skills from him, he would not only be able to support his younger brothers and sisters, but also make the family live a good life. Duan Mingshuang agreed this time for the sake of his family.

"I have been following my master for more than ten years. During these ten years, I have been learning skills from my master while working hard to make money. I just want to wait until I have money to return to my hometown and marry Hongxia." Duan Mingshuang said here.

, a pair of cloudy eyes turned red, "I never thought that by the time I came back, Hongxia would already be married and give birth to a daughter."

"When I found out that he was beaten and scolded by his mother-in-law's family because he gave birth to a daughter, I went to the Zhao family and wanted to take her away. However, Hongxia was afraid that others would make irresponsible remarks and have a bad impact on his mother's family.

At the same time, he is also afraid of affecting my younger brothers and sisters."

"Later, I left alone, and when I came back, I realized that Hongxia actually..." Duan Mingshuang said this, with muddy tears flowing down, and his voice choked, "If I had been more determined to take her away,

He will never end up like this."

Duan Mingshuang calmed down and continued, "At that time, the Zhao family had been driven out of the village. In order to avenge Hongxia and his children, I searched hard for the Zhao family for several years before I found their whereabouts."

"I used Feng Shui to kill Hongxia's husband and parents-in-law. Later, in order to protect Hongxia, I returned to this village."

Listening to what he said, everything became clear. In order to protect the mother and son, he stayed in the village.

"After all these years, why do you think of taking revenge on the people in the village now?" I asked.

"Originally, I thought Hongxia died due to persecution by the Zhao family. Later, after living in the village for a long time, I realized that Hongxia's death was related to the entire village. If it weren't for these ignorant villagers in the village, she wouldn't have died.

Those who threw their children into the well. I hate them, they must die." Duan Mingshuang gritted his teeth hard when he said this.

"According to your statement, you were responsible for all the deaths in the village?" I asked.

"Yes, I was the one responsible for his death." Duan Mingshuang looked at me very firmly and said.

I shook my head at him, "As far as I know, things are not that simple anymore."

"What do you mean?" Duan Mingshuang asked.

"It's not interesting. It's just that with your ability, you can't arrange the Huangquan evil spirit and the ghost wood coffin array." I said.

Duan Mingshuang's expression changed. I saw his hands clenched into fists. He seemed a little nervous, "You underestimate me. I have learned Feng Shui Yin Yang from my master for more than ten years, let alone Huang Quan Sha."

, even if it’s more powerful than this, I can still arrange it.”

Obviously, Duan Mingshuang intended to cover up the real culprit. I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, in that case, tell me why the water tank in your yard is placed in that position?"

Hearing my question, Duan Mingshuang frowned slightly. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"You don't know. I can tell you that the location of the water tank is just above the spring of Huangquan. The water tank should have no bottom. Those small flags are for the spring of Huangquan to prevent water from flowing out of the tank.

Overflowing." Ever since I saw that water tank, I have been wondering what the purpose of that water tank is.

While waiting for Duan Mingshuang, I linked up the previous and later, and finally got some clues. Someone discovered the spring of Huangquan water here and led the Huangquan water out. But if the Huangquan water overflows, it will flow into the village.

If so, the entire village might die suddenly in an instant.

Just imagine, if everyone in the whole village suddenly died suddenly, how could God not discover such a thing, and then the matter would be exposed. That's why there are a few flags around the water tank to prevent the water from overflowing.

.

"You said there is yellow spring water there, how is that possible?" Duan Mingshuang said suspiciously.

"If you don't believe it, you can come with me and have a look." I walked outside.

When I came to the water tank outside, I took out a blank piece of talisman paper from my pocket and threw it into the pool. After the yellow paper fell into the water, it seemed as if it had been corroded, and a stream of white paper came out.

Smoke, and then it's gone.

"Let me go, the Yellow Spring water is so powerful, wasn't the river you entered that day also a Yellow Spring water? How can I see you doing well?" Yuan Shen said with his eyes widened.

"The purity of the water there is not as high as here. It flows out from the spring, and the purity is quite high. If you are stained with this kind of water, it is equivalent to being immersed in the death air, the yin and yang energy in the body

It will become unbalanced, and even if you don't die, you will end up with a serious illness." I pulled Yuan Shen back.

The water in the water tank was very clear under the moonlight, but there was a trace of black air lingering in it, permeating the entire water tank.

The water tank was silent, but the oppressive feeling it gave people was a bit breathless.
