Merchant of the Underworld

The Black Dragon Li family are naturally very respected in the village, but they rely on their ability to communicate with Master Black Dragon and become more and more arrogant and domineering!

Every year when praying for rain, the villagers have to make offerings, and all these offerings go into the pockets of the Heilong Li family. As long as the offerings are unsatisfactory in any year, the rain will not be enough.

Secretary Dakang's grandfather once witnessed a man coming to scold the Heilong Li family because the rains were late this year and the crops died. That year, the Heilong Li family did not ask for rain, but used their power, and finally forced the family to kneel in front of their door for three days and three nights, and almost lost their lives. Then they began to pray for rain. The amount of rain that year Also very few.

This family is so domineering that the villagers are angry but dare not speak out. During the Cultural Revolution, the state issued regulations requiring each village to identify a few targets for criticism. Without exception, people in large villages all pointed their fingers at the Black Dragon Li family!

Especially after seeing a group of Red Guards smashing up the Black Dragon Temple, everyone was influenced by Marxism-Leninism and felt that all gods and Buddhas were fake, and they became more courageous.

So at that criticism meeting, the sixteen members of the Heilong Li family were labeled as "feudal and poisonous" and criticized. Later, the situation got out of control. The villagers came on stage and beat to death the head of the Heilong Li family, the old lady, and the eldest son and daughter-in-law. Later, their home was also ransacked, the female family members were pulled out and raped, and the male members were beaten to a bloody head.

Secretary Dakang was only a teenager at the time. He said that the scene was very terrifying. The villagers were all red-eyed and wanted to kill all the Black Dragon Li family!

This family, who once used divine power to dominate the village, was forced to live in ruins during the ten years of catastrophe. Even their houses were razed, and they completely disappeared from the village. But it is said that a child escaped to a foreign country. Does this child have to be an adult now?

After finishing speaking, Secretary Dakang sighed with emotion: "What a crime. This is a crime committed by the villagers!"

The ten years of catastrophe has indeed killed many people, but poor people must be hateful. The Black Dragon Li family relies on their divine power to dominate and bring blessings. I think there is also an element of self-imposed fault in it.

I asked, "Do you know the name of the kid who escaped?"

"I don't know. It's been so many years. Who still remembers it? Besides, the ancestral hall and the genealogy were burned down during the Cultural Revolution, so there is no place to check." Secretary Dakang shook his head.

At this time, Oyu said: "Bad brother, look at those two boys."

I looked at both sides of the statue and saw nothing unusual. They were just ordinary statues of boys and girls.

I opened my heavenly eyes and discovered that the statue of Bald-tailed Lao Li was wrapped with two masses of black energy. The two masses of black energy were spit out from the mouths of boys and girls. The height difference between the two made the two masses of black energy very special. By coincidence, Lao Li's eyes were covered.

I apologized to the statue, climbed onto the altar table, picked up the boys and girls and shook them, and found that there seemed to be something in their bellies...

I simply moved both statues to the ground and found that a hole was cut out on their back and sealed with transparent tape. After tearing it apart and dumping it on the ground, it turned out to be a pile of bloody sheep internal organs, including the heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys.

Secretary Dakang was shocked and said: "Who did this! Mr. Zhang, is there anything in this?"

I used my crutch to turn over the internal organs and explained: "I think these should be the internal organs of the black sheep. According to folklore, the black sheep is an evil star and has extremely evil energy. Putting these internal organs on a boy is equivalent to transferring the evil energy to it. "

Secretary Dakang suddenly realized: "I have indeed heard of this statement before."

The boy who turned into a evil star released Yin energy and covered the eyes of Bald-tailed Old Li. In fact, this approach was meaningless because I didn't feel any Yang energy from the statue in the middle.

I dare not say whether there are gods in the world, but the statues of gods and Buddhas have extremely strong yang energy. Maybe this is the convergence of believers' beliefs. As the saying goes, 'If you believe, there will be, if you don't believe, there will be nothing', so I usually chant Only the Tao Te Ching will be effective.

The bald-tailed old Li has basically stopped being popular now, and naturally does not have the power to suppress evil, but someone used this sneaky method to cover the eyes of this dragon...

In fact, the other party could have inserted a few steel nails into the head of the statue, which would have been better, but he did not do so.

This incident conveyed two messages: First, the other party actually respected Lao Li very much. Second, the other party did not want Lao Li to see something.

Through this incident, I concluded that this person is a descendant of the Black Dragon Li family who escaped from the village, and he is also the person who caused this evil rain!

After listening to my analysis, Secretary Dakang said: "Mr. Zhang, can we reason with him? There are not many of those old people left, and his family's feud has nothing to do with us."

I smiled and shook my head: "Secretary Dakang, do you hate the Japanese?"

"I hate it so much. I hate it so much. Little Japan did so many unscrupulous things in China back then." Secretary Dakang said.

"Then put yourself in your shoes and think about it. This person lost everything because of your parents. How could he not hate you?" I said with a bitter smile.

"Mr. Zhang, what you said makes so much sense." Secretary Dakang sighed: "This rain is indeed the retribution of Dacun!"

I paid special attention to Odama's reaction. She didn't react at all. Although she has lived in Japan for thousands of years, she doesn't seem to care about her nationality. She usually enjoys watching anti-Japanese dramas and Japanese anime. .

When I left, I packed away all the ashes in the incense burner and took a bottle of Taishan Tequ from the offering. Things that have been worshiped by gods have some exorcism effect.

After we came down from the mountain, two young men hurriedly came to Secretary Dakang and said, "Secretary, something big has happened in the village. The graves of Gazi and Tieniu have been dug up."

Secretary Dakang's expression changed drastically, and after a while he cursed: "Who did this? They must be mentally ill!"

I wondered for a while why the villagers reacted like this when their graves were dug up.

After asking, it turned out that these two men were young men who drowned last week. I asked, "Didn't you say that the bodies of people who drowned in the river can't float up?"

"Yes... they didn't come up, but those buried in the tomb are not their bodies."

"Cenotaph?" I frowned.

Secretary Dakang said: "No, no, Mr. Zhang, you will understand when you go over and take a look."

When I came to the back mountain, I saw two dug-out graves on the ground. They were filled with dead fish and rotten shrimps, giving off a very pungent stench!

It turns out that this is called "fish and shrimp burial". Fishermen often die in rivers and seas, and their bodies never return. Their relatives can only bring back a net of fish and shrimp from the place where the accident happened, and bury them in place of the deceased, asking for a burial place. Ann's statement.

Looking at those dead fish and rotten shrimps, I felt bad all over. I thought of those dead fish and rotten shrimps I saw in the house in the morning.

I asked Secretary Dakang when the two young men died, and he gave a date. I calculated that today happened to be the seventh day of their lives!
