NOVEL WEB Chapter 28 Are you seeking immortality?
Chen Laoliu smiled bitterly, "How could I tell Master Tao about these things!"
"Then Taoist Master..." Everyone looked at Taoist Master Ma.
"The ancestral graves in your village are like eight stars looking at the moon. Unfortunately, the location is not very straight. It can only be said to be an offset position. Therefore, everyone in your village only has a small amount of money, and there are few people who are rich or noble."
"Exactly!"
"Every household in our village used to live a good life. There were good fields and livestock."
“So it turns out that our village’s ancestral graves still have this kind of emphasis?”
"Yes, there was originally a school in the village where children could study, but not many of them could read. Most of them could read and count."
"Hey, who said there has never been a scholar in our village! Didn't there be one thirty years ago?"
"You mean the Guo family!" After the man said this, the people around him suddenly fell silent.
It is said that the old man of the Guo family was very good at studying when he was young, and later went to the capital to take the imperial examination.
Later, news came back that he was in high school and working as an official abroad. I came back twice in the meantime, but they were both short stays.
The last time I came back was five years ago. The old man from the Guo family came back, and the entire Guo family came back with him.
Several clan elders' expressions changed and they looked at each other and asked tremblingly, "Master Tao, does this change of ancestral graves have something to do with the death of so many people in our village?"
Ma Daoye took a deep look at them and said, "Of course it does matter. The change in Feng Shui can at most make you go from being a rich man to being poor now. But that's not what the other party wants."
"What do they want?"
"If I'm not wrong, what they want is... immortality." Taoist priest Ma said these two sentences in a low voice, but there was still a trace of confusion on his face, and it was obvious that there were still some key parts that he couldn't figure out.
"Immortality?" someone exclaimed in disbelief, "But the deaths in this village started from their home?"
"This is wrong. The Guo family was the first to die. Several of their sons died. How could they do such a thing of exterminating their descendants?"
"What if the members of their family are not dead?" Taoist Master Ma took a few steps forward, "I guess that since all the men in their family died suddenly, no one has appeared in front of the world again, right?"
"exactly!"
"For five years, their family members have not shown up. Only Guo Fu and a few servants have come out for a walk!"
"Although the Guo family has not come out, it is not that no one has seen them. The He family and the Guo family are related by marriage, and Mr. He has been to the Guo family several times."
"Master Dao, what does this mean?"
"It means those people are no longer the original people."
"How can this be!"
"Can a living person turn into someone else?"
"Master Dao, how can you be sure of your words?"
"It's not sure yet!" Xue Lei, who was holding Long Bao'er beside him, had already become impatient. "Just go to Guo's house and have a look."
"They are a widow, how can we..."
General Xue also sneered, "It's a matter of life and death. Do you still care about this? What's more, it's just a one-time meeting. They are not asked to do anything. They just come out to wash their faces. Even if they want to be innocent, they should come out."
The man looked at General Xue's face, then looked at the villagers around him, and did not dare to speak.
"Take Guo Fu and the others over and ask them to come out and explain the reason for this!" someone shouted from behind.
"Then take them there together!" The elders of each family lowered their heads and discussed for a few words.
Guo Fu's face was now so terrifying that the villagers did not dare to step forward. Several soldiers brought by General Xue went up and tied up Guo Fu and two servants of the Guo family and held them with ropes.
These three people can no longer be said to be human, at least not completely human.
Guo Fu kept howling from his mouth. Xue Lei was afraid of scaring Long Baoer, so he signaled Hu Zi to find a ball of rags and stuffed it into his mouth. The other two servants were a little better, both looked gloomy and lifeless, but they were better than Guo Fu.
At least his face isn't broken yet.
Several young and strong men held down the three people and pushed them all the way to the front door of the Guo family.
But just like before, no matter how hard they beat, no one answered the door.
"You two go and call the door!" Huzi rolled his eyes and pushed the other two servants of the Guo family forward to call the door.
As for Guo Fu, he can no longer be regarded as a person.
However, it was the same when the two servants knocked on the door, but no one from the Guo family answered the door.
However, these two servants reached out and pushed the door open, and there was a slight crack in the thick door.
It turned out that the door was not plugged in from the inside.
The two servants immediately opened the door wide from left to right.
"...This, this isn't considered a forced entry by us, is it? Their family members opened the door themselves." A clan elder said.
"That's right. Mr. He, what do you say?" Another clan elder looked at Uncle He and said.
He was no longer willing to discuss seniority in the village with Fang. This kind of address seemed extremely cold.
"This..." Uncle He's face turned livid, "It's not appropriate for so many people to go in. Why don't we just go in? It's not considered rude."
"I agree."
"Seconded!"
"So good!"
"Aside from so many things, the Guo family always wants to come out and give an explanation!"
"But, after all, the Guo family is a family of women..."
"What happened to the women's family? Is the woman from the Guo family a woman? There are many women's families in this village, but hers is the most expensive?" Suddenly a voice came from the crowd, and the speaker was also a woman.
Everyone was startled by this voice at first, and then nodded in agreement.
"That's it, if it's so serious, then those of us who deliver meals to our men, go out to visit each other, and go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables together, have we become unruly women?"
"That's good! The women in their family don't go out, but there are still a bunch of servants at home. It's hard for me to say anything from now on."
"Master He, I often see you at Guo's house. Are you a man or something?" The person who spoke was the one who dared to speak up.
As soon as these words came out, Mr. He's face turned purple.
The other villagers laughed muffledly, and even the younger members of the He family couldn't help turning their heads and snickering.
Mr. He is so domineering in the village, let alone in his own family. He is absolutely arrogant and cannot tolerate any disobedience. He has already made many people dissatisfied.
"Nonsense!" Mr. He waved his sleeves, "Although I went to the Guo family, I never met the three daughters-in-law of the Guo family."
"Then we don't know!" someone in the crowd said secretly.
Uncle He was furious and asked who it was, but no one answered.
"Okay, it's useless to talk more." The elder of the Chen family said, "If you have no objection, we will go in now."
