Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 202 Soul Calling
Chen Xin sat on the small stone pillar at the door, pretending to play with his cell phone, but his ears were already perked up.

"I never thought that the people in Hejia Village would drive piles into the ground to build a bridge? I haven't heard of this term in many years."

Wang Qin's face has many expressions.

"This is a living thing. You can't make a mistake. If you get caught, you'll go to jail!"

Mei Huixiang looked surprised.

She had just returned for a few days and the news channels in the village had not yet become popular, but she heard such explosive gossip.

"How could they be mistaken? Isn't Wang Laosi's wife He Fang from Hejia Village? She brought back news that someone's child had been missing for most of the day, and was finally washed out from under the bridge foundation by the water. This is a lie!"

"Could it be that a child accidentally fell into the water and got stuck on the bridge foundation?"

Chen Xin suddenly spoke.

Wang Qin looked over.

"Chen Xin, if it was just a child being washed out of the water, I wouldn't say anything, but the key point is that someone said that when the bridge foundation was built, there were some mysterious ghostly drawings on the bottom of the pillars!"

"Ghost painting?"

"Yes, that's it... I don't understand either. It's something to do with gods and ghosts. Otherwise, who would write those things on the foundation when laying it?"

Chen Xin thought that it might just be a folk custom.

But obviously, Wang Qin had already made up her mind, and there was no way that little brat Chen Xin could change it.

"Okay, now that this matter has come out, the police will naturally come to deal with it."

Mei Huixiang waved her hand and prepared to go back to cook.

But who knew that Wang Qin would hold Mei Huixiang back.

"I haven't finished yet. This matter...I didn't call the police!"

"You didn't call the police? Why? Aren't there already dead people?"

Mei Huixiang looked confused.

"Who said someone died? The child was washed out of the water, but he is not dead!"

"Not dead? If he's not dead, what's the point of killing him!"

"Not dead, but not alive either! The child was sent to the hospital, but the doctor couldn't explain anything. He only said that the child was still alive physically, but not conscious. He said he had become a vegetable! But I've never heard of drowning causing a person to become a vegetable!"

Mei Huixiang seemed to have thought of something and said, "If it wasn't handed over to the police, who was it handed over to... Mr. Lookout?"

"Of course not. Your godson Wang Zhibo, He Laoliu from Hejia Village, and that guy from Wangjia Village... Wang Yongxiang's apprentice Wang Cheng, all went!"

"What are you doing with so many people?"

"Oh! It's because the village chief of Hejia Village is anxious. If he is really accused of being a traitor, not only will he lose his position, but his family will not be able to cross the river in the village in the future. After all, he was the one who built the bridge!"

Mei Huixiang nodded and walked into the house.

"Hey, Huixiang, what are you doing? Why don't we go to Wang Laosi's house and ask He Fang for help?"

"I haven't finished cooking yet, you go first."

"Well, I'll do it for you!"

Wang Jing said this and trotted after him. From a distance, Chen Xin could still hear voices coming from the kitchen.

"Hit the living stake?"

Chen Xin was not unfamiliar with this term, having come across it a little while reading a book.

In ancient times, before starting construction, people would bury people alive, especially children, at the construction site as a sacrifice to ghosts and gods in order to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

They believe that by doing so, the buried person will become the patron saint of the building, ensuring the smooth progress of the project and maintaining the stability of the building.

When Chen Xin saw it, he made a judgment across time and space.

In ancient times, there were no ghosts.

However, the incident in Hejia Village this time was said to be a living stake, but the subsequent situation did not sound like it.

"Let's go to the mountain later to ask Wang Zhibo."

Afterwards, Chen Xin secretly buried the house-warding medicine in the four corners of the house while his grandmother was cooking.

After dinner, grandma left with Wang Jing, and Chen Xin spilled the wine all over the house.

After making sure that the house-warding medicine was activated normally and there was no gathering of negative energy, Chen Xin left the house.

He didn't go to find Wang Zhibo, as he didn't know if he would come back at this time, so he went to find Fatty Wang Xiang to learn more about the situation.

After the meeting, the barbecue stall, which was originally scheduled to be opened in the evening, started firing early.

After the meat was grilled, Wang Xiang came over with beer.

"You've been gone for several months. When will you graduate and come back to the village? You can start a small business in the village and earn as much as you can outside!"

Chen Xin smiled.

"I'm only halfway through my freshman year, so I'll have to wait three and a half years to come back."

"Hey, there are still three and a half years left. Maybe my child will be old enough to help with cooking by then."

Chen Xin paused.

"you are married?"

"No ah?"

"Then what the hell are you talking about, kid?"

"Haha, what's the matter? Can't we just have a beautiful wish?"

Wang Xiang said this with a smile, and quietly asked Chen Xin to introduce him to a female college student, saying that although he had never been to college, he could marry a college student!
Chen Xin took a photo of Wang Xiang and posted it in the small group to find a marriage partner.

Then a string of "666" exploded.

When Wang Xiang saw this scene, he was not embarrassed at all. He even said that he wanted to grill another piece of meat for Chen Xin. However, he was stopped by Chen Xin.

He didn't come here to eat meat. If he really wanted to eat, even a handful would not be enough!
"I heard that someone in Hejia Village is making piles?"

"Oh, about this matter. I went to Hejia Village for a tour before and heard them say that this didn't seem to be a living stake. It was called... calling the soul!"

Wang Xiang thought for a moment and said, "Calling the soul?"

"Yes, I don't know the details, but it's quite mysterious. It says that as long as you take the hair or other personal belongings of a designated person, wrap them in talisman paper or something and put them into the bridge foundation, then the soul of that person will be called away and submerged in the bridge foundation."

This is the first time I've heard of Chen Xin that Wang Xiang mentioned. Compared to hitting a living pile, this seems to be more in line with the current situation.

"So how did you deal with it afterwards?"

"I don't know what happened next. Those gentlemen were called to the village chief's house. No one knows what they talked about."

At this point, Wang Xiang came up to Chen Xin and said mysteriously, "Chen Xin, have you noticed that there are more and more strange things happening in the village?"

"What do you mean?"

"Last time, Wang Feixiang was offering sacrifices to his ancestors. This time, he was hitting a living stake to call back the soul. I have lived for 20 years. I have only heard about this from the old people before. I have never seen it. But now... It has only been less than half a year, and two such strange things have occurred nearby. I suspect..."

Wang Feixiang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What do you suspect?"

"I suspect... the spiritual energy in this world has revived!"

Chen Xin was confused.

"Where did you know the term spiritual resurgence?"

Wang Xiang laughed and scratched his head, saying, "In the novel, I've been reading a novel recently, which talks about the revival of spiritual energy and the arrival of the great era... You can also take a look, it's really well written, the author is called Kui Ye 996!"

"..."

Chen Xin opened his mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

After eating skewers and chatting, Chen Xin went home.

Grandma came back before lunchtime. After she came back, Chen Xin asked her indirectly about the matter of hitting the living stake, but the only response he got was "go do your homework"!
Chen Xin was too lazy to explain that he had no homework in college and went straight back to his room to surf the Internet.

Around 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Xin told his grandmother that he was going to play with Wang Xiang and left the house with his backpack.

Halfway through, Chen Xin changed his route and went directly to Wang Zhibo's home halfway up the mountain.

After seeing the lights of Wang Zhibo's house from afar, Chen Xin quickened his pace.

Bang bang~
"Who?"

Not long after the knock on the door, Wang Zhibo's voice was heard from the yard.

"It's me, Chen Xin."

The door was opened.

"How did you come?"

Wang Zhibo looked confused, but when he saw the bag Chen Xin was carrying, he remembered the last time he took out more than ten bracelets from the bag, and his face changed immediately.

"Oh, Chen Xin, your grandmother won't let me meet you, so go back."

As he said this, Wang Zhibo was about to close the door.

But after trying so hard, the door couldn't be closed halfway.

Looking at Chen Xin who was smiling and leaning against the door with one hand, Wang Zhibo was surprised.

"How many levels of physical training have you reached?"

“The second edition will be finished soon.”

As Chen Xin spoke, he turned sideways and entered Wang Zhibo's yard.

When Wang Zhibo was shocked at the progress of Chen Xin's physical exercises, he heard what Chen Xin said next.

"Uncle, I brought something here, can you help me take a look?"

When Wang Zhibo heard Chen Xin calling him uncle, his expression became quite strange for a moment. Before he could say anything, he saw Chen Xin take out the dressing box from his backpack.

"Let me see……"

After a while, Wang Zhibo gave Chen Xin an answer.

"It's not a Yin object, it doesn't have any special abilities, it can only be considered a prototype of a Yin object that has not yet taken shape, it has some characteristics, and currently it seems that it can only be used to isolate Yin energy."

After Wang Zhibo finished speaking, he looked at Chen Xin.

"Give it to me?"

Chen Xin chuckled, reached out to take back the dressing box and stuffed it into his backpack.

Then he took out a small bottle.

"This is for your uncle, the Twelve-flavor Rehmannia Pill."

"What do I need this for? Keep it for yourself."

Chen Xin confiscated it, and then took out a bracelet from his backpack.

"Uncle, look..."

Wang Zhibo's face changed and he wanted to send him away immediately. It was not until Chen Xin explained that there was no rush this time and that he could take his time that he reluctantly accepted the Rehmannia Pills and the bracelet.

But he still didn't understand.

"Why do you need so many beads? They can only deal with wandering spirits, and they are disposable. You should practice your physical training to the third level as soon as possible. They are much more effective than wooden beads."

"Hey, we also have a small circle in our school. I'll give some of these beads to my friends, use some of them for myself, and exchange some of them for things in the circle."

Chen Xin told Chai Ruobing the news he got from her.

Wang Zhibo smiled after hearing this. He thought that he wanted to be a middleman and make a profit from the price difference!
Whatever.

"Oh, by the way, uncle, I heard that someone in Hejia Village was beating a living stake, and I also heard that someone was calling souls. What's going on? Is it a supernatural event?"

Wang Zhibo's expression became more serious.

"It's a supernatural incident. The people in Hejia Village used the wrong thing!"
