When he said this, I understood.
The so-called neutralization of ghosts is to let the ghosts use the body of the cow to return the sun.
Old man Chen continued: "Later, my grandfather bought a Yin Talisman from a corpse breeder.
It was originally used to refine corpses, but when it was attached to a cow that had lost its Yangshou, it became a scent in the eyes of evil spirits.
It was the Chinese Ghost Festival that year, my father.
My grandfather took the cows to the fort in the morning when the Yang Qi was at its strongest.
At night, there was a dark wind on the other side of the fort.
My grandfather said that when the wind stopped, the ghosts in the fort would disappear, and the town under the fort would disappear.
Things are useless."
I interrupted and asked: "What is the treasure under the fort?"
Old Man Chen shook his head: "I don't know.
Later, my grandfather and my father dug out that thing, but I was not there and I didn't see what it was."
I nodded and signaled Old Man Chen to continue what he just said.
Old Man Chen: "I didn't know until I was a little older that all the ghosts in the fort took possession of Lao Niu that night, because Lao Niu spent five years of his life in exchange for yang energy.
With this yang energy, he could Suppress all the ghosts on it.
The ghosts come to the cow's body to return Yang.
In fact, for them, the cow's body is like a prison, and they can't get out.
After that, we kept this cow.
When it gave birth to a calf, the yang energy in it was also transferred to the calf through its blood.
The ghosts were also trapped by this yang energy and ran into the calf's body."
I said: "The ox in the yard must be its descendant."
Old Man Chen sighed: "Yes.
Rhubarb has no heirs.
Among their branches, it is the last one."
When he said these words, Old Man Chen's eyes were extremely gloomy.
It seemed that he was not talking about Dahuang, but himself.
After Old Man Chen calmed down a little, I asked him: "Boss Huang said that if the cattle in the village live over twenty years old, bad things will happen.
Is this true?"
Old man Chen nodded: "I don't know what's going on.
Ever since my grandfather used the cow to kill the ghosts in the fort, the luck of our cow and the people in the village have been connected.
If the cow is always healthy, the village will There will be a plague.
If the cow becomes ill, the people in the village will become very energetic.
If the cow lives past twenty years old, it will be a lucky one.
On the contrary, the people in the village will be in a bloody disaster. " There is such a thing.
I rubbed my chin and asked again: "If the old scalper in the yard dies, what will happen to the ghost inside it?"
Old man Chen said: "Originally, they should have left the cow's body and returned to the fort."
I frowned immediately: "Originally" Old Chen sighed: "When Chen Dafa's family of five died tragically, I thought that a few ghosts must have left the cow's body early, but the village has been peaceful since then.
I thought maybe I was overthinking.
I didn’t care anymore.
Who knew Dahuang would be almost twenty years old?”
Halfway through his words, Old Man Chen seemed to be unable to speak any more.
I didn't rush him, so I just stood aside and waited quietly.
After a long time, Old Man Chen continued: "Rhubarb has no heir.
If it dies after twenty years, the ghost that is pressing on it will probably not come back to the castle."
I frowned and said, "Even if your rhubarb dies of old age before the age of twenty, those ghosts pressing on it will probably not return to the fort."

Old man Chen raised his head, looked at me in surprise and asked, "How can you say this?"
I said: "In the past, ghosts could be trapped in the fort because there were town objects buried in the fort, but now that the town objects are useless, they can still go back."
Old Man Chen: "They will definitely go back.
My grandfather said that if ghosts fail to return to the sun, they will definitely return to the place where they were before."
I became a little irritated: "But even if they can go back and there is nothing to restrain them, they will still come out and harm people."
Old man Chen must have thought of what I said early on.
He nodded to me calmly: "So this time I contacted Hu Nancy, I also wanted her to find someone to help suppress the ghosts in the fort."
I asked him again: "Uncle Chen, do you think that the reason why Widow Wang in the village was possessed by an evil spirit was because of Dahuang's age?"
Before I could finish my words, Old Man Chen interrupted me: "I didn't say she was possessed by evil spirits.
Maybe she had done too many bad things and received retribution."
Old Man Chen's reaction was beyond my expectations.
I looked at him blankly, but he moved his eyes aside.
After a long time, I suddenly thought of something very important and blurted out: "Uncle Chen, you and Chen Dabang are not relatives.
Are there many people named Chen in this village?"
In response to my question, Old Man Chen only said one puzzling sentence: "Poor people must be hateful."
It was obvious that he was not answering the question, but I had a vague feeling that there was something in his words.
After that, Old Man Chen said to me again: "Okay, I've almost said everything that should be said and what shouldn't be said.
I'll leave the rest to you."
I have one last question: "What are the ghosts in the fort like?
Are there any evil spirits among these ghosts?"
Old Chen waved his hand: "There is definitely no evil spirit.
If there really is a evil spirit in the fort, my grandfather's behavior will not be able to deal with it.
However, there seem to be some evil spirits, and I don't know the details."
I nodded and said nothing more.
Probably seeing that Li Huaishan and I had no intention of talking, Old Chen put out the lotus lantern, picked up the lantern, and took Li Huaishan and me back the way we came.
In fact, there is still a question in my mind, but because I don’t know whether I can ask it or whether I should ask it, I can only remain silent for the time being.
I can't figure out why Old Man Chen went to such trouble to take Li Huaishan and I deep underground.
He could obviously put the talisman in the small secret room connected to the secret passage.
Anyway, in that place, no matter what we said You don't have to worry about people outside hearing anything.
This question has been bothering me for a long time.
It was not until I saw more and experienced more that I understood what Old Man Chen was thinking at that time.
He needs us to be a witness for him, proving that their sect once existed.
One day, with the passing of Old Man Chen, there will be no Shantang in the world, but as long as Li Huaishan and I are still alive, as long as we are willing to mention what happened today, we will leave a little trace for Shantang.
It was only a long time later that I realized that the greatest sorrow in this world is not that it disappears forever, but that it never existed.
When he came out of the secret passage, the night was already very deep.
Old man Chen walked to the window of the living room, glanced at the old cow in the corner of the yard, and sighed softly: "There are still three days."
This was said without any beginning or end, but I understood what Old Man Chen meant.
There are only three days left in Rhubarb's Yang life.
Not only did I understand what Old Man Chen said, but I also clearly realized that in three days, no matter where I am, I must come back here and send Dahuang away in person.
This weird sense of purpose came entirely from my gut.
Old man Chen turned his head and said to me again in a low voice: "There are still three days."
I was a little curious: "How do you know it has three days left?"
Old man Chen smiled: "I raised rhubarb, and I know it better than anyone else."
Being able to see through the longevity of a cow is probably not just about understanding it.
I frowned and asked Old Man Chen: "Uncle Chen, is there anything else you are hiding from me?"

Old Man Chen did not answer directly, but said vaguely: "I have said everything that needs to be said, and again, I will leave the affairs of the village to you."
Probably because we were talking a little louder, there was a rolling noise coming from the bedroom.
Old Man Chen and I immediately calmed down.
After the tumbling sound disappeared, there was no snoring from Boss Huang in the bedroom.
I felt that Boss Huang might have been awakened, but he remained calm and was hiding in the darkness of the bedroom, trying to eavesdrop on the conversation in the living room.
Old man Chen pointed to the bedroom door and gave me a wink.
I nodded knowingly, waved to Li Huaishan, and took him to the bedroom.
When I entered the bedroom door, I found old man Chen leaning against the window and silently lighting a cigarette.
I stopped and asked: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Old man Chen exhaled a long puff of smoke: "I'll accompany Dahuang."
After speaking, he waved his hand towards us, indicating that we should go to bed and leave him alone.
There is a large earthen bed in the bedroom of Old Man Chen's house, which can sleep four people at a time.
Although it is a bit crowded, it is still possible to sleep comfortably.
Boss Huang is a very conscientious person.
As soon as I entered the bedroom, I saw a group of shadows huddled in the corner against the wall, trying to leave as much space as possible for the remaining three people.
Li Huaishan didn't want to get too close to Boss Huang, so I had no choice but to sleep next to Boss Huang.
Old man Chen heated up the kang when he was cooking.
At this time, there was still a warm breath on the kang.
This temperature has a very good sleep-promoting effect.
Not long after Li Huaishan lay down, he breathed out the breath from his nose.
His breath became very long, and I knew that he was asleep.
But I couldn't sleep, for no other reason than that the roof of Old Man Chen's house was too high, which made me feel a little unsure.
In addition, there were people on both sides, so I couldn't sleep, and I couldn't turn around, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
At this moment, Boss Huang behind me suddenly asked: "Have you entered the kitchen?"
His voice appeared so suddenly that I was shocked on the spot, but I still had to respond to him in a very calm tone: "Boss Huang is not asleep yet."
Boss Huang seemed to have not heard what I said and asked me again: "Are you two really making red wine?"
Damn it, Li Huaishan has fallen asleep.
Do I lie?
How should I answer this kind of thing?
I thought about it, and it took me a long time to get a few words out of my mouth: "In short, we are all good people."
Because I was a little nervous, I said this with unconfidence in my tone, which sounded a bit like there is no silver in this place.
Boss Huang was silent for a moment, then whispered: "Anyway, I think Old Man Chen is not an ordinary person, and neither are you."
I pretended to smile helplessly: "Haha, if we are not ordinary people, then who else can we be?"
Boss Huang: "I always think that Old Man Chen might be a Taoist priest.
Well, so are you.
And even though you are much younger than him, your Taoism should be much deeper than him.
Just tell me whether you are a Taoist priest or not."
No, this guy's vision is too vicious.
If I continue to struggle with him, sooner or later I will reveal my secret.
In desperation, I could only respond by saying: "It's getting late, go to bed."
Then I shut my mouth tightly and made sure that no matter what Boss Huang said, I would not respond
