Tales of Folk Feng Shui Mysteries

The night was very quiet. Except for the "crunching" sound of the crowd's footsteps on the snow, no one spoke. Everyone stared at the well mouth intently. As for me, I lay on the edge of the well with a peach wood arrow in my hand, waiting for prey like an ancient hunter.

Mao Shi had already pinched the talisman. The golden toad was originally a Taoist who had cultivated into a spirit, so the magic would naturally work. Time passed by, and suddenly! The sound of a toad was heard in the silent night sky.

The frequency of the "quack" sound went from slow to fast, and soon it became from fast to slow again. The sound of a toad in the snow was extremely strange. Everyone's eyes were cast in my direction.

Only I understood that the sound came from the well, but it seemed to come from all directions when it came out of the well. My heart was hanging. Buddhism once said that everything in the world can become a Buddha, and every blade of grass and every tree can become a Buddha. This also indirectly verifies the Taoist saying that "everything has spirituality". I chanted it countless times in my heart, hoping that the golden toad would bite the hook, but everything did not go as I wished. The toad's cry lasted for a long time. Many villagers chose to leave because they could not stand the cold. The torches that were originally blazing around turned into sporadic flames.

"Little master, what should we do now? Does the monster know that we want to catch it? It won't bite the hook." Chen Tiebao looked at me worriedly, and his words also aroused enthusiastic reactions from other villagers.

I looked up at the bright full moon, and the fierce toad humming also told me that it was not particularly comfortable at this time. Facing the doubts of the crowd, I comforted them: "It's just an animal, don't worry, it's not hungry now." "Did you hear that, the master said that there is a toad at the bottom of the well, and the toad is not hungry now, everyone wait a little longer." Chen Tiebao shouted. The crowd began to talk about it. After all, standing in the wind and snow for almost four hours in a row, no one could bear it. There are also stories like the common people who share the same hatred and are willing to die to save people, but most of them are fabricated by cultural people, just like many people write about the simplicity of farmers, but not their selfishness, cowardice, and the robbery of the apple. So, there were many people at the beginning, but more than half of them left later, and only more than 30 people were left in a blink of an eye. I think those who left must have thought in their hearts, "Anyway, they are here", "Anyway, it's not uncomfortable to drink", "What if it doesn't work". It was already half past twelve, and the moon was at its fullest and brightest. Mao Shi said to me uncertainly, "Junior brother, you said that the golden toad likes feminine things. Logically speaking, Tai Sui is indeed the emperor of yin. Think about it, is yours impure?"

Impure! By the way, I used fire to burn away the evil spirit of Tai Sui, which means that Tai Sui actually has a trace of yang fire. Because of this, the golden toad hesitated to consider whether to eat it. In addition, the moon is now full, so the temptation is naturally not great. As for the painful cry of the golden toad now, I think it must be because it has not devoured the living soul.

However, even if we know this problem, what should we do!

After smoking four or five cigarettes in a row, with a frown on her face, Chen Xiaomei came over and asked me, "Brother Zhang, what's wrong with you? Your face is as gloomy as a pile of coal. What happened? Tell me. Is it that this big toad is difficult to deal with?"

"You don't understand." I looked up at the sky. If it didn't bite the hook before dark, perhaps the custom of worshiping people would appear again. After all, the itch deep into the bone marrow is not something that people can bear. Liquor can only temporarily relieve it, but one day it will not be able to suppress the poison.

"How can I understand if you don't tell me!" Chen Xiaomei was a little angry: "Tell me, Brother Zhang, do you look down on us country people for being uneducated? If you say so, I will definitely never pester you again, and I won't ask you anymore." There was a hint of resentment in her words.

Seeing her aggrieved look, I still felt a little bit sorry, so I told her the cause and effect of the matter, just like the yin energy of this Tai Sui was not enough to attract the golden toad to take the bait. Chen Xiaomei asked anxiously after hearing this: "What should we do? We can't throw another child in this time."

When Chen Xiaomei finished speaking, Mao Shi said from the side: "We don't need children. Let's try with adults. If it doesn't work, we can try to save them again?"

Mao Shi's words reminded me that since Tai Sui's yin is insufficient, I can just add some to it. Then I slapped my thigh and said: "Let the women in the village drip blood into the well, so that the blood can cover up the trace of yang fire contained in Tai Sui. It must be feasible."

"That's hard to say. I'll do it!" Chen Xiaomei was about to step forward excitedly.

"One person is not enough. We need many people. One drop per person in the village. If they don't come, you can force them to come with a gun!" I gave a death order to Chen Xiaomei and Chen Tiebao.

The father and daughter returned to the village with several villagers. This is the last fight for now. In less than an hour, a large group of young ladies came to the well and gathered. I reminded them seriously that only young ladies could go, and those who had lost their virginity could not go. If anyone left as soon as possible, the whole village would be buried with them.

But those young ladies all lowered their heads, and their expressions were very shy. Even though the mountain people were conservative, I was a little unsure that more than 30 people were all virgins. But Mao Shi slapped me and said, "You are stupid. There are so many people. Who dares to say it in person?" Then he took out a needle, handed it to the first woman and shouted, "If you are a virgin, you can get a piercing. If you are not, you can come back to the well. Others can't see it, so don't worry!"

I couldn't help but give a thumbs up. This old ginger is still spicy!

More than 30 people, including the little girl, lined up with needles. I asked the old and young men to grab the fishing line again. After everyone took turns dripping blood, a red light suddenly appeared at the mouth of the well, and then a burst of impatient toad sounds rang in the ears of each of us.

My heart was hanging in my throat for a moment, and suddenly I felt the rope in my hand drop, and I shouted excitedly: "Fellow villagers, pull hard!"

This shout made the crowd excited, but surprisingly, the toad fell into the water like a weight and could not be pulled out. Chen Tiebao shouted the slogan: "One, two, three! Pull hard!"

No matter men, women, old or young, everyone came forward to pull, Mao Shi stood by the well with a talisman in his hand, and I also let go at the same time, set up the peach wood bow and put the arrow on it, ready to bite the toad at any time. Chen Tiebao's face flushed red as he shouted, "No, I can't pull it anymore!"

I said to Chen Xiaomei, "Go back to the village and call people, bring the rope, everyone come, bring the tricycle if there is one!"

Chen Xiaomei agreed and ran back to the village. I told everyone to hold the rope steady and not let go. I never expected that the golden toad, although not very powerful, was as heavy as a thousand pounds. The team of forty or fifty people seemed to be unable to do it, and their bodies were also slowly moving forward.

Mao Shi and I kept encouraging them. If they really let go, the golden toad would eat the Tai Sui and would probably not float up in a short time, and naturally would not secrete beneficial substances. Then, only death would be waiting for everyone.

"Junior brother, what should we do if we can't pull anyone over!" Mao Shi also asked me while pulling the rope.

At the critical moment, I chose to take the risk. Although the dragon vein was dead, the seven kills of the Broken Dragon Terrace were still there, especially the nails under the spring, which the Jiuju sect could not take away. Copper nails belong to gold, gold produces water, water has yang, yang is fire, and the spell is mostly based on wood as the formation, taking water to produce wood, so that the spell has continuous power.

I turned desperately in my mind, as long as the talisman is uncovered and the Seven Killers are forced out, I don't believe that the toad dares to stay in it to practice?

This well has all the yin and yang and five elements, and there is no solution at all. There is only one way now! That is to risk my life and enter the well. At the beginning, the ancestor asked me to find the Nine Dragon Gate, and did not give me any hints. He also said that I was a person who was doomed, so it is obvious that I will not die easily. Looking at these customs that have been plagued by evil diseases and have continued for decades, if they are not eliminated, I don't know how many more souls will be drowned in this well.

As long as there is a 10% chance, I will take care of it! So, I walked to the pile of gravel not far from the well, took a stone that weighed at least 30 or 40 kilograms, and in front of everyone, I untied my clothes and tied the stone tightly with a belt. As for the Qing Nang and the Tianshi Order, I gave them to Mao Shi and said, "If I can't come back, give this to my senior brother who I have never met, and tell him that I regret not being able to see him!" "What are you going to do? Don't do stupid things!" Mao Shi's eyes were red. "If there is a glimmer of hope, you must fight for it! Wait for my good news!" After saying that, I plunged into the well. In the blink of an eye, I fell into the water with a "plop". I vaguely felt that there was something slippery beside me, but I didn't have the ability to see at night. The sense of wisdom eyes could only see whether the other party was a human or a monster in the dark environment, but it had no function to identify the shape of the object. The big rock in my arms made me sink, but the speed was not slow. However, the water pressure increased as I went down. It was nearly 30 meters deep, and I soon fell to the bottom. Holding my breath, I began to grope around. Every second underwater was an extreme torture.

After one minute, I could clearly hear the sound of my heartbeat. After two minutes, my body became numb to varying degrees. If I held my breath normally, I think many people could hold it for five or six minutes, but this was the bottom of the water. Although I could swim, it was the first time I dived so deep!

Relying on my strong lung capacity, I kept gritting my teeth and persisted. I kept moving forward, and suddenly something tripped my feet. I was excited! Because it was not a stone, it must be a fixed copper nail!

Looking down, I saw a faint green light under my feet. I felt that it should be jade. The Jiuju School was afraid that the talisman paper would be easily corroded, so they replaced wood with jade. This really has a trick! So I picked up the stone and smashed it hard against the jade. The second time, the jade cracked, and I quickly put down the stone on my body, and rushed to the water like a sharp sword. As for the body, it began to shake "booming", and many stones fell off the walls of the well.

Unfortunately, I was hit, but when I was about to lose consciousness, I grabbed the foot of a slippery thing. There was only one thought in my mind telling me not to let go! But then I felt that the water in front of me began to slowly turn red.

After decades, the water in the well turned red again!
