Weird things are rampant: I enthroned gods in another world
Chapter 6
"Third Uncle, we carefully investigated the whole city and found that three families in the West City were strangely attacked, a total of thirteen people died, the deceased's body and blood had been sucked dry, and the heart was missing; No traces of the strange attack were found in the other three directions.
"Well, continue to investigate, you must find three weird hiding places during the day, otherwise you will be in trouble at night!" Wang Hao nodded and said.
"Yes!" The two said yes and bowed down.
"Jiao'er, come back with me and tell your uncle about the situation, we may need support." Wang Hao turned his head and said.
"Yes, Third Uncle!" Wang Jiao agreed.
The two left the bell tower and soon returned to the Wang family, all the way through the courtyard to the inner house of the Wang family, and were led to the study by the housekeeper.
Wang Lang, the mayor of Wangjia Town and the current head of the Wang family, was waiting in the study at this time, and when he saw the two people come in, he said, "Third brother, Jiao'er, sit!" Butler, serve tea! Something happened, let you guys come back in such a hurry.
After Wang Hao sat down, he said, "Big brother, things are not good, you may need to ask the county for help."
"What!" Wang Lang raised his eyebrows, sat up straight, stared at Wang Hao, and said, "Third brother, what's the situation?" Wang
Hao explained the situation last night and said his guesses.
Wang Lang gasped and said, "Do you suspect that there are three powerful ghosts who have lurked in?"
"Yes, big brother! I have ordered them to look for them carefully, hoping to find them during the day. Wang Hao said.
"If we can find it during the day, with our current strength, we still have a fight; If it's nighttime, it's not good. Wang Lang sighed.
"Third brother, what do you have in mind?"
"Big brother, please ask the sixth uncle and the ninth uncle to go out of the customs! With two people sitting in town, you can be worry-free. In addition, repair the book to the second brother, ask the second brother to operate in the county, it is best to invite a few masters over.
"Xiao Xuan, are you at home?"
Zhang Xuan is eating lunch, and now he is a little accustomed to this kind of brown rice, after all, the original owner's stomach has always been eating this kind of rice, and the initial discomfort is only a subjective feeling of modern people. However, Zhang Xuan had already calculated it, carved a stone mill, and grinded some refined rice or fine noodles to eat.
"Uncle Wu, at home!" Zhang Xuan suddenly heard someone shouting, and immediately got up to open the door to greet him, and it was already about time. The person who came was the owner of the grain store in Nancheng, surnamed Wu, and the relationship with Zhang Xuan's adoptive father was still good, and during the period when his adoptive father died, he also helped Zhang Xuan a lot.
"Xiao Xuan, I see that you are in good spirits today! Alas, it's a pity that Lao Zhangtou left a little early! In this damn world, good people don't live long! Boss Wu looked at Zhang Xuan with a bit of sadness on his face.
"Uncle Wu, please sit down!" Zhang Xuan quickly pulled a chair.
After Boss Wu sat down, he took Zhang Xuan's hand and let Zhang Xuan sit down as well, and said, "Xiao Xuan, from this morning to now, the warriors of the Wang family searched the whole town, and I heard that a powerful ghost entered the city last night; Several families died on the Xicheng side; As you know, my nephew was on an errand in the royal family, and he came back to me today and said that I must close the doors and windows early tonight and check the state of the statue; Remember to close early today, never too late.
"Okay, Uncle Wu, I see; It must close early today; I just went to the ancestral hall yesterday to get the statue, don't worry! Zhang Xuan's heart warmed and said.
"Well, if you have something in mind. You invite me two carved wooden statues, and I happen to go to the ancestral hall tomorrow. Boss Wu drank the tea that Zhang Xuan poured for him and said.
"Uncle Wu, wait a minute." After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the house to hold out the two land god statues carved last night. Zhang Xuan was actually a little reluctant, these two god statues had a special meaning to Zhang Xuan, after all, they were the first batch of god statues from his previous life that he had crossed over to carve. But the statue carved this morning cannot be used, according to the memory of the original owner, the wooden statue needs to be exposed to the sun for at least four hours before it can be sent to the ancestral hall, and the statue carved today is obviously not enough time.
"Huh..." Boss Wu took the statue handed over by Zhang Xuan, and said in amazement, "Xiao Xuan, the image of these two statues today is curious, is there anything particular?" "
Boss Wu knows very well what kind of images the gods carved and clay carved by Zhang Xuan were in the past, and although there were various images of scholars, samurai, old people, and children, the character images were generally relatively simple, and the craftsmanship was relatively rough; Like the two statues of gods this time, both the expressions and the clothes and clothing are vivid and lifelike.
"What is it?" Boss Wu pointed to the dragon head staff in the statue's hand and asked in amazement.
"This is the Dragon Head Staff! Uncle Wu
" "Dragon head staff? What is this, is it a crutch? Boss Wu wondered.
"Uh..." Zhang Xuan was stunned, how to explain this?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Xuan briefly explained to Boss Wu the basic situation of the land god, in fact, he roughly said that the land god town guards the family house to protect the safety of one party, and can also pray for smooth winds and rain, abundant grains, many children and grandchildren, good health, and so on.
After hearing this, Boss Wu was stunned and said, "Xiaoxuan, this?" Is the land god really that amazing? Why never heard of it! Where did you know this!
Zhang Xuan only scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Ah, Uncle Wu, I also saw it from an ancient book!" Don't go yet, I still have something for you." After that, Zhang Xuan did not wait for Boss Wu to continue to ask questions, turned around and entered the house.
A moment later, he took out several long strips of paper, two long and one short, three red papers, exactly a couplet. Shanglian "sit in front of the land hall"; Xia Lian "Bless the Family"; Horizontal criticism of "land gods".
The world also has red paper, just the way to write couplets, or for the first time.
Zhang Xuan handed this couplet to Boss Wu, and carefully explained the use of the couplet, which should be posted on the left and right sides and above the shrine. Seeing that Boss Wu still had a puzzled expression, Zhang Xuan had to say, let him see how he did in two days.
There are shrines in this world, so shrines don't need to be explained too much.
After seeing off Boss Wu, Zhang Xuan quickly finished lunch, then got up and returned to the courtyard, took an inventory of the gray bricks in the yard, and prepared to build a shadow wall according to the memories of his previous life, and then make a shrine of the land god in the middle of the wall.
The Lingsu shop is stocked with some gray bricks and tiles as spare bricks for house maintenance. Zhang Xuan roughly estimated and found that the spare bricks and tiles were enough, and he might be a little richer, so he didn't have to go out to buy them.
Just do what he says, Zhang Xuan starts to make mud, and then starts building walls. Not to mention, Zhang Xuan, who inherited the memories of his predecessor, was a little jerky when he started drying, and soon became more and more handy.
After tossing for two hours, a shadow wall was basically formed, and a shrine was left in the middle of the wall facing the gate, and the size of the shrine was just enough to put down the two statues of the land lord and the land mother, and the place in front of the statue was set aside to place the incense burner.
Zhang Xuan looked at it carefully for a moment, very satisfied. As long as it doesn't rain tonight, it can dry tomorrow; At that time, he could paint a mural on the shadow wall wall, and what to paint, Zhang Xuan decided to think about it tomorrow.
During the time of building the wall, people came to invite the statues one after another, and in the afternoon, a total of more than a dozen statues were invited out. They are all neighbors, and when everyone sees Zhang Xuan building the wall, they will ask curiously, and Zhang Xuan only said that he wanted to build a shrine. As for why everyone asked why it was not built in the courtyard, but in the position directly opposite the door, Zhang Xuan vaguely coped with it, after all, he really couldn't explain it too clearly.
It is the custom of this world that many families with conditions will place a shrine in the right part of the courtyard, and then place the statue in the shrine. In addition, there will be another one in the bedroom, so that ordinary ghosts and mobs are difficult to invade.
However, Zhang Xuan's family has not set up a shrine in the courtyard originally, because there is no need, as a spirit sculpture shop, there are a large number of statues of gods in the store, although most of them have not yet been placed in the ancestral hall to receive incense, but still has a strong deterrent effect on weirdness.
Zhang Xuan looked at the sky, the sun was already westward, it was about the time of unitary, remembering Boss Wu's reminder, he quickly closed the gate.
After dinner, Zhang Xuan packed up the clay statues in the courtyard and placed them in the counter, and carried the two newly carved wooden statues of the land god and the land god back to the house today, just like yesterday, and placed them on the table.
Because Zhang Xuan had a feeling that he slept so soundly last night, it should be inseparable from the newly carved land god statue, although the god statue had not yet been enlightened in the ancestral hall.
As usual, arrange the four statues neatly and insert chopsticks into the bowl.
Zhang Xuan undressed and went to bed, a burst of tiredness hit, and soon fell asleep.
When night came, the land god statue began to shine with a shimmer, and Zhang Xuan's body also began to shine, reflecting each other, but unfortunately, this kind of light could not be seen by the human naked eye. To the human eye, it was still pitch black.
At this time, in the Wang Family Town, as night fell, it was filled with an atmosphere of slaughter.
Inside the drum tower, Wang Hao meditated cross-kneeled, holding a ceramic statue six inches tall; On the left and right of Wang Hao, there were two old men with white hair, also holding ceramic statues, closing their eyes and breathing. With three people in the center, more than 20 people sit in three circles, meditating in the same pranayama, holding wooden statues in their arms.
On the outermost periphery, there are eight people in pairs, one staring at the bronze bell in front of him, and the other meditating and pranayama with his eyes closed.
Inside the drum tower, no one spoke, and the needle could be heard, filled with a sense of depression.
The number of people on duty on the walls of Wangjiazhen has also doubled today, all waiting for midnight.
"Well, continue to investigate, you must find three weird hiding places during the day, otherwise you will be in trouble at night!" Wang Hao nodded and said.
"Yes!" The two said yes and bowed down.
"Jiao'er, come back with me and tell your uncle about the situation, we may need support." Wang Hao turned his head and said.
"Yes, Third Uncle!" Wang Jiao agreed.
The two left the bell tower and soon returned to the Wang family, all the way through the courtyard to the inner house of the Wang family, and were led to the study by the housekeeper.
