The villagers looked at a few of us. So I went forward and explained that we belonged to the police station and wanted to know more about the corpse theft case. Later, I found out that the village chief was a friend of our predecessors, so I wanted to visit first.
Only then did someone call a half-grown child to take us to the village chief's house. So we followed the child to the village chief's house. Shigou Village is not big, but the shape of the village is interesting. This seems to be modeled on the layout of Yu Yuan's Taiji Astrology Village, and it looks quite magical. Yu Yuan's Tai Chi Astrology Village seems not as famous as Zhuge Liang's Bagua Village, but the builder is indeed very famous. It was designed and built by Liu Bowen, the founding counselor of the Ming Dynasty, according to the arrangement of the celestial bodies and astrology "the twenty-eight constellations of the zodiac". At the entrance of the village, there is a giant Taiji map with a diameter of 320 meters and an area of ??120 mu. The main 28 ancient buildings in the village are Arranged according to the constellations in the sky, there are also "Seven Star Ponds" and "Seven Star Wells" in the village for fire prevention and evil suppression.
The reason why I have a deep memory of these villages is because Wu Dan likes to study these strange places. I saw that he had collected quite a few such books, so I followed suit. This time I went to Shigou Village and found that the layout of this village is also a simple Taiji Astrology Village. Although the buildings inside are simple and old residential buildings, the layout is indeed according to the constellation map, and there is a small seven-star well.
When I walked to the middle of the village, I found that a dug water canal flowed from the southeast of the village, changed to cross the village in an east-west direction, reached the foot of the mountain in the west of the village, turned back to the north to the village entrance, and flowed to the fields outside the village in an S-shape. Surrounded by tall and ancient trees, a huge Tai Chi diagram is outlined at the entrance of the village. The S-shaped canal happens to be a yin-yang fish boundary, which divides the field into "Tai Chi Liang Yi". In the south of the canal, "Yinyu" has towering old trees, and a simple asphalt road passes through the fish eye. At the eye of the "Yangyu" in the north of the canal is a field, which seems to be where the villagers cultivate. It is said that this kind of Tai Chi picture is placed on the north entrance of the village, one can block the cold air and "evil energy" in the north, and the other is like a "air dam" to prevent the village's auspicious energy from leaking out.
"Seven constellations of Canglong in the east, seven constellations of Xuanwu in the north, seven constellations of white tigers in the west, and seven constellations of red birds in the south," Zhao Yu murmured as he stopped suddenly and looked around. I heard what he said, and knew that he was reciting the layout of "Tiangang Yinshibasu", so I asked, "You know this too?"
Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Master taught me before."
I suddenly remembered that Zhao Yu said that he had practiced Taoism for many years in order to suppress the madness of zombie poison in his body. It is his mysterious master who teaches Taoism. But I was so busy these days that I forgot to ask his master what his origin was.
"Look," Zhao Yu suddenly pointed to a place in the village and said, "Pond!"
I took a look, and sure enough, several ponds appeared in front of me. I walked and counted all the way, and it happened to be seven ponds. There is also a saying that it is called "Seven Star Pond", which is arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper.
"Or, there is also this. Is this the complete Tai Chi Astrology Village." I laughed.
The child in the village was surprised when we saw a few ponds, so he said: "That's so strange, this is where we raise fish in summer."
I understand that this child doesn't know anything about Tai Chi astrology, so I just smiled and didn't talk to him. However, this is still a copycat version, not completely imitating Liu Bowen's Taiji Xingxiang Village, but only 50% or 60% of the imitation is considered a treasure of geomantic omen. Thinking of the ancient tombs underground, I thought maybe the designer of the building wanted to find a balance, to neutralize the evil and yin energy of the yin house and the auspicious feng shui of the village, so as to save the day. I couldn't help but secretly admire this person's flexible use.
Just watching, the child has brought us to the door of the village head. This is a very simple small one-story house. Although this is a place where many ethnic minorities live, many of the ethnic minorities in Tianjin have been Sinicized, and their living habits are similar to those of the Han people. The living conditions are also very similar. Be sure to live in a yurt. Otherwise, the village head would not agree to transform the village into this look.
Winter is the slack season for farming, and everyone basically stays at home, or rests, or participates in some collective entertainment activities. When we went to the village head's house, he was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, but his eyes were looking at the sky, his eyebrows were fixed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
I took a closer look at the village chief's appearance. He was in his sixties or seventies, his beard and hair were a little gray, but his body looked tough. Tall, with deep wrinkles on his forehead and face, he has the tough and heroic aura of a man from a northern minority. That demeanor was so special that I couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
The village chief seemed to have noticed my gaze, and turned his head to see us with a surprised expression. The child stepped forward and briefly explained our background, and the village head stood up and nodded, "Comrade police, it's hard work for you to work on our village's case."
I stepped forward and said with a smile: "Village Chief, I still have to disturb you because of the case. This wayOn the 16th, the people in the village wanted to kill pigs and goats to celebrate together, and some people even performed plays to tell the scene of Wu Dan killing zombies to save people. The villagers simply used the homonym of Wu Dan's name, Dan to name the festival, Danyang Festival.
Wu Dan became a hero of that era. Later, the village head married his daughter to Wu Dan. An engagement ceremony was held on the Danyang Festival of this year, and many relatives and friends from the past were invited. That year, the country was improving its ethnic policies, and various regions advocated ethnic harmony and unity, so the media in the city also went to the ethnic minority gathering places in Tianjin to collect stories, and it happened to be this scene.
When the village chief said this, he sighed and said: "At first things were very happy here. But my negligence caused the tragedy later. My daughter was not willing to marry Wu Dan. I was eager to find a good one for her. Unfortunately, on the night of the engagement ceremony, my daughter disappeared, or eloped with a strange man. Only a letter was left behind, and there was no news after that. This incident hit me hard, and Wu Dan also I felt sorry for it. Later, I had no face to face him, so I gradually alienated him. Wu Dan was a very smart boy, and when he saw my alienation, he offered to move out of the village and live in Tianjin. If he can't stay, he will go."
I was stunned for a while after hearing this story. It turns out that what Wu Dan said "wife ran away with someone" is true, and he doesn't even know what kind of bird his love rival is.
Zhao Yu suddenly asked: "Village Chief, why did you tell us this, why do you think we will believe things like zombies?"
The village chief smiled, and pointed to Duan Qingshui who was sitting behind me leaning against the back of the chair: "I saw the Dongba spell on his arm. I remember that Wu Dan had an ancient knife with the same inscription on it. A spell. I know you are not ordinary people, maybe you are not the police at all. But as long as you are a friend of Wu Dan, I will definitely help if you can, let alone answer a few questions."
I turned around in astonishment, and saw Boss Duan taking off his overcoat and sitting there in a shirt with his sleeves rolled up. I asked speechlessly: "Aren't you cold? It's been three or nine days."
Duan Qingshui shrugged: "It's not cold, I still feel hot."
I thought of the inexplicable heat poison in his body, and I was also a little speechless. But after asking for so long, it seems that we haven't asked about the corpse case yet. Just as I was about to continue asking, the village head asked if we had eaten and whether we were hungry. We just remembered that people might have to have lunch, but they were delayed for so long.
The village chief left us for dinner, and Tang Xin went to help prepare the meals. I said to Zhao Yu: "Well, I have talked for an hour or two, but I haven't asked anything useful yet."
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "No, these are also related to the corpse robbery case."
I just wanted to ask if there was any connection, but Zhao Yu's cell phone rang. Zhao Yu then hung up after saying a few words, and then said to me: "So I said there is a connection. Just now, the forensic doctor confirmed that there are drugs in the corpse. It is suspected that the corpse is hiding and transporting poison. If my guess is not Wrong, the feng shui of this place has been changed twenty years ago, and it has become a good place for raising corpses. Although it has been modified by Uncle Wu later, the corpses of the villagers here are not easy to rot after burial, and even easy to rot. The corpse change, the rigidity is certain. If there is no layout of this village, it is very likely to become a zombie village, just like the Chengdu zombie incident reported in the news.¡±
After hearing this, I suddenly realized: "I understand. No wonder there are frequent tomb robberies here. Is it because there are more corpses and zombies here?"
Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, if it is to transport poison, you must use zombies. I still don't understand the reason why the dismembered corpses are thrown away in the wild. Maybe it is to let the crows destroy the corpses? Maybe something else. In short, dismembered corpses A dead body is definitely a discard that is not qualified to transport drugs."
I was speechless and said: "Damn, this idea is shocking enough." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
