Chapter 83 Wedding and mourning (14)
While the program crew and the audience were enjoying the leisure and ease brought by the natural scenery, there were people taking action in places that no one else could see.
After the official person in charge confirmed that the local area of Jiazifen Village was indeed like what Yang Tu said, with the Yang clan having the final say from top to bottom, he immediately applied to his superiors for provincial-level approval for the action and prepared to carry out cross-level management.
The superiors also asked the official responsible person, is it necessary to make such a big fuss about a body that was just hanged? You know, handling it across levels is like slapping the local people in the face, and it is usually only used for serious incidents with evidence. Because if the follow-up is not handled well, it will breed dissatisfaction in the local area, and even affect one's own future.
The official person in charge gave an affirmative answer without hesitation.
"I know this will offend people, but the department I'm in is not afraid of ghosts, so why should we be afraid of people? Special departments deal with special cases. If no one else can handle it, then we'll do it."
The official in charge said with a serious expression: "I have experienced life and death so many times, what does the future mean to me?"
"And I have a feeling that if we don't take care of this matter, it will only get worse. When we finally find out, it will be too late to cure it. Although Bian Que is a good doctor, he can't cure a disease that has already occurred."
The official's tone was firm, revealing his determination without any concealment: "We only saw one body now, and we thought he committed suicide. But what if it wasn't? What if there was more than one? If the local government doesn't manage it, then have similar incidents happened in the years when the Yang clan managed the area? How were those incidents handled at the time? Among them, were there people who died unjustly and didn't get justice even after becoming ghosts?"
"Please understand. I have been in this department for decades and have seen too many wronged souls and evil ghosts. It is said that the hospital is the best place to test human nature, and this is also the case here. Those who become ghosts after death are mostly obsessions and resentments, and each one is the result of negligence in the human world."
The official in charge was a little sad: "I once heard a gentleman named Yan Shixun say, 'If the living world doesn't judge, the dead world will.' He said that if justice was served in every matter in the living world, perhaps there would be fewer ghosts lingering in the human world. I want the living world to judge, and I want to reduce the number of wronged souls, and reduce them even more."
The other side was silent for a long time, sighed, stopped trying to dissuade him, and approved the action order.
However, before setting off for Jiazifen Village, the official person in charge took advantage of the joint docking time before the operation to visit Haiyun Temple.
Although it is already autumn, the temperature in Binhai City is still high. The strong sun has made the trees in the Taoist temple a little dry. Light can be seen in the shadows, and there is light everywhere.
When the official person in charge stepped into Haiyun Temple, the old Taoist priest was taking a nap.
The old Taoist priest, who was woken up during his nap, had a dark face and looked like he was about to hit someone in the next second.
The official person in charge immediately stated his purpose and told the old Taoist priest about the affairs of Jiazifen Village in detail.
The old Taoist priest paused while picking up the magic sword beside him, hesitated for a moment, and then put the sword back to its place: "Jiazifen Village? The name has been changed, right?"
The official in charge heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the old Taoist priest gave up beating him up, but he was also surprised and asked, "This village was called Wangzi Village several decades ago, and it was later renamed. But, Taoist priest Li, how do you know that Jiazifen Village was renamed? Is it because of the word 'grave'? However, there are many similar place names with 'grave' in them."
When the old Taoist priest heard the name of the village, he immediately frowned and kept calculating something with his hands.
"Jiazifen Village, the family is on the grave, the children are in the grave, how can it be good? Is this how other place names with the word 'grave' are calculated? They are all Princess Grave, General Grave, etc. Although there is the word 'grave', the official title in front directly suppresses the negative energy of the word 'grave'. Those were really Princess Grave and General Grave in the past, and they are called that because they have been passed down and have long been integrated with the local terrain. Besides, have you ever seen any powerful family buried in a place with bad feng shui?"
The old Taoist priest snorted and said, "But this name is wrong. This name is too yin and has gone beyond the human realm and has developed into the ghost realm. It would be strange if you said that this name has not been changed before."
"However, it was previously called Wangzi Village, but now it has been renamed Daojiazifen Village... This is a change from human to ghost."
The old Taoist priest was not as grumpy as the official leaders had been when they saw him in the past. Instead, he seemed a little confused. He kept counting with his fingers and muttering something under his breath.
The official person in charge was a little surprised: "Master Li, when the program team was deciding the destination for this program a few days ago, they also talked to Haiyun Temple about Jiazifen Village, but Master Song calculated it at that time and didn't think there was any problem."
The old Taoist priest paused as he calculated, and immediately heaved his energy into his dantian, shouting with full force: "Song Yi, come here!"
The sound was like the effect of using a high-power loudspeaker. The entire Haiyun Temple, which covers a large area, could hear the sound. The official person in charge sitting opposite the old Taoist priest felt a buzzing in his ears, just like the effect of sitting next to a big speaker at a concert.
When Taoist Song Yi was called by his full name by his master, he immediately jumped out of bed from his nap, hurriedly put on his shoes and ran over here. He didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes when he stepped into the door.
"Master?"
Although Master Song Yi is already middle-aged, he has a high status in Haiyun Temple. Many dignitaries are vying to ask Master Song Yi to come to their homes to perform a ritual, but they can't get it, and they have to wait in line to see when Master Song Yi is available. However, Master Song Yi is still nervous in front of his master, like a child who has just entered school.
At this moment, Taoist Song Yi had just shown his head when he was frightened by the heavy snort from the old Taoist priest. He stood there in shock, his brain racing, trying to figure out what he had done wrong.
"Let me ask you, did you do the calculations for Goudan and his disciples before they started filming their show?" The old Taoist frowned, looking as if he would pick up the magic sword next to him and rush over if Taoist Song Yi was wrong.
Taoist Priest Song hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "The destination is Jiazifen Village. Although the name of the village is extremely gloomy, everything will turn around when it reaches its extreme. For the program team, it is actually safe. The hexagram is also good, so there shouldn't be any problem."
The old Taoist priest immediately asked: "Do you know if this village has changed its name? Its previous name was Wangzi Village."
"Ah?" Taoist Priest Song was a little confused, and subconsciously looked at the official person next to him: "Director Zhang Wubing didn't tell me about this, and I haven't heard anyone from the official about it... Did you change the name?"
The old Taoist priest immediately scolded him in anger: "Your divination skills are terrible! Just like your apprentice! You can't even figure out that the village has changed its name? Don't tell others that I am your master in the future. I am ashamed."
Taoist Song lowered his head in shame and shrank silently at the door, not daring to speak.
However, when he used the name of Wangzi Village to tell the fortune, he couldn't help but exclaimed "Huh?" as soon as he came up with the divination.
“This hexagram…”
The official in charge quickly asked: "Is there any problem?"
Taoist Priest Song did not answer immediately, but frowned and whispered something. After a long while, he looked at the old Taoist priest hesitantly, and then said, "It's strange that my disciple is not good enough in learning. I can't even tell the hexagram. I can only see chaos, as if my vision is blocked by fog."
"Nothing good or bad." The old Taoist priest added calmly, "It's not your problem this time, but the hexagram is so confusing."
He has been dealing with Haiyun Temple since many years ago, when the official head was still a young man. He is very clear about the strength of the Taoist priests in Haiyun Temple, and it is rare that he has seen hexagrams that the old Taoist priests cannot interpret.
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, he worriedly told him about the hanged body found in Jiazifen Village, and also told the old Taoist priest his plans and the causes and consequences.
The official in charge asked, "Master Li, because this operation is quite special, I came here to know whether the body in Jiazifen Village has any spiritual properties. Or is it just a simple suicide? Does it require our department's attention?"
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest realized that the program team had encountered such an emergency, and he couldn't help but turn an inquiring look to Taoist Song Yi.
Taoist Song felt his back tighten, and he subconsciously said, "Because I calculated it before the show started, and the hexagram showed that there was no problem. In addition, I asked my disciples to go with me, so Haiyun Temple didn't leave anyone to watch the show..."
The old Taoist priest snorted heavily, scaring Taoist priest Song back what he had not yet finished saying.
"He's just like your disciple. Not only is he not good at his studies, he doesn't even care about his daily life." The old Taoist priest looked at Taoist Song Yi with regret: "I really want to know how Goudan picked a disciple. I want to pick one too. He's much better than you!"
Taoist Song Yi knew he was in the wrong and stepped back to the side in shame.
After quickly looking through the information and screenshots in the hands of the official person in charge, the old Taoist priest pondered for a while and decided to let Taoist Song Yi go with him.
Although we can't tell anything from the picture, and the divination was all white fog and not very bright, it should be fine according to common sense.
But the old Taoist priest had more respect for the impermanence of heaven and earth than Taoist priest Song Yi. He knew that everything was cyclical, and there was nothing fixed, only things that were constantly changing. Although the chaotic hexagrams made it impossible for him to calculate the specific situation of Jiazifen Village, hexagrams were infinite, but people were not. The fact that the name of Jiazifen Village changed from Yang to Yin was enough to attract his attention.
So, the official person in charge and Taoist Song Yi left Haiyun Temple and went to the mountains around Jiazifen Village to deal with the body that died by hanging.
Before leaving, the middle-aged Taoist priest Song Yi was taken aside by the old Taoist priest, who warned him to take a closer look at the situation in Jiazifen Village and not to be careless.
"Don't be like your apprentice, whose eyes are like decorations. He followed them everywhere, so how come he didn't find anything? When he comes back, give him double the homework."
The old Taoist priest seemed to want to beat up Taoist Song Yi to wake him up. It was only because there were other people present that he gave Taoist Song Yi some face.
Taoist Priest Song Yi: Lu, Xing, Xing! I have been hurt by you.
…
The huge momentum of the official leader's cross-level action did not leak out at all.
Whether online or in real life, the atmosphere is peaceful and the audience enjoys the leisure and relaxation brought by the show.
Like the variety show celebrity Goose Brother, he finally realized the original meaning of his name and you can watch this show with lunch.
Brother Goose looked down at the rice in his bowl, then looked up at the guests on the screen who were curiously and hardworkingly looking for food in the mountains. He was so moved by himself that he almost cried.
@是燕哥迷弟的鹅哥: Who still remembers that I was originally called '鹅哥 who loves to watch variety shows while eating'? Since watching this show, I have become 鹅哥 who is too scared to sleep, 鹅哥 who curls up in a ball, and 鹅哥 who dares not get up to go to the toilet. Oh, I am so touched! Today I finally stood up and watched this variety show while eating!
Goose Brother’s post caused crazy laughter from fans, who said he was timid.
But some people laughed so much that they didn't dare to speak anymore.
"To be honest, I didn't dare to watch this show while eating in the past few episodes... I had to curl up in bed to watch it, not to mention watching it while eating. Is it really not going to help me lose weight?"
"Emm, me too. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat a single grain of rice while watching this show while eating."
"I was trembling with fear. After watching the first episode about Guishan, I couldn't eat meat for several days. I didn't dare drink my favorite grape juice for a while because it looked like blood."
"…I was laughing so hard just now, and then I turned around to see who this coward was. Oh, it turned out to be me."
The audience of this program was also very pleased that they actually saw the travel and relaxation written in the program introduction. They didn't take it seriously before, until they experienced the thrilling first two episodes, they realized how precious this slow pace is.
The guests also had a rare and interesting experience. They climbed to the foot of Moon Mountain with Yang Tu, listened to Yang Tu introduce the plants and wild fruits they saw along the way, and told them where to pick up firewood for burning.
As soon as An Nanyuan turned around, he saw the whole picture of Jiazifen Village from top to bottom.
The houses in the village were closely packed together until they became sparser near Moon Creek. It seems that the key area of the village used to be far away from Moon Creek.
When An Nanyuan asked curiously, although Yang Tu was from Jia Village, he also knew Jiazifen Village very well. He pointed to the densely populated area below and said, "Because the ancestral hall is over there, people of high status in the village, such as the clan leader and the elders, all live close to the ancestral hall. People like Yang Yun are 'exiled to the frontier'."
An Nanyuan was a little surprised: "Wouldn't it be better to be closer to the stream? It would be convenient to get water or wash clothes."
"Moon Creek is not okay."
Yang Tu shook his head. "People who lived near Moon Creek used to have bad luck. Some of them fell into poverty or died. Others got strange diseases for no apparent reason and their hands and feet ached. Also, when the water level rose during the summer flood season, Moon Creek could easily flood nearby. I heard from my dad that people who lived near Moon Creek died that way decades ago."
An Nanyuan was stunned and exclaimed in surprise.
Because Moon Creek was mentioned, Yang Tu also invited the guests to go and see Moon Creek together: "Let's go, I'll teach you how to catch fish."
The others cheered and were somewhat excited.
Only An Nanyuan was still hesitant: "Didn't someone drown in Yueliang Creek?"
Yang Tu immediately laughed: "That happened decades ago, what are you afraid of?"
