During the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a small mountain village in Guangxi. The village was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the transportation was blocked. The villagers lived a stable and peaceful life here. Until this day, an old man named Zhang accidentally entered here, breaking the tranquility of the village for many years.
Old man Zhang claims to be a wise man, proficient in various magical techniques, and specializes in dealing with problems related to ghosts and gods. Not only that, as soon as he entered the village, he moved to the children's post in Xishan to live.
The children's gang is a forbidden area in the village. It is actually a chasing treasury, but the children buried inside are all children who died prematurely. Maybe the child was not born and was very resentful. The whole child's post was filled with a strong yin energy. Some people even heard the child's crying when they passed by in the middle of the night.
Zhang, the old man Zhang, dared to live here alone for the first time. It seems that he has some skills, and the villagers also admire him. Until this day, a child in the village accidentally drowned, but after being rescued, he became a fool, unable to speak or listen.
Old man Zhang took the initiative to visit after hearing this, claiming that the child was frightened and his soul was thrown into the river. After saying that, he immediately prepared something and cast spells at night to call the soul. As expected, the child recovered from health the next day.
After seeing his magical powers, the villagers finally believed his words, and more and more people came to ask him for help. Old Man Zhang also responded to his requests and helped everyone solve many strange problems. Some people in the village even called him "living god".
Until this day, a young couple came to visit, and their purpose was also very simple. After the two of them had been married for many years, their wives were unable to have children. The couple tried many methods, but they were useless. Now they can only rely on Old Man Zhang.
Old man Zhang waved his hand after hearing this, without agreeing or refusing, but said lightly: "This matter is not yet time, please go home and wait for news!"
In addition to this couple, six more couples came to ask Old Man Zhang for help. The daughters-in-law of these seven people are more beautiful than the other, but unfortunately they are not good at it. They have never given birth to a son and help the family pass on their family line. Therefore, they have been criticized by the neighbors.
On this day, Old Man Zhang visited the door one by one, gathered the seven couples together and brought them to the vicinity of Xiaolegang. Behind a huge rock on Xiaolegang, there was a tomb. Old Man Zhang had opened the tomb door at some point. He told everyone that if he wanted his wife to get pregnant, they had to follow him to go around the tomb, and they could not be disturbed by anyone during this period.
Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, but for the sake of the child, they agreed. In this way, Old Man Zhang led seven beautiful women into the tomb, and their husbands were guarding the door of the tomb to prevent others from disturbing him.
Soon, this matter spread in the village. Everyone found it interesting and came to watch the fun, but the seven people blocked the entrance of the tomb tightly and could not see anything.
It was not until the evening that Old Man Zhang led them out of the tomb. Old Man Zhang looked very tired, with a pale face and a big man. On the other hand, the seven beautiful women all smiled happily and exaggerated that the old man was capable. Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, and had no idea what was going on.
Just as everyone was talking about this, the seven beautiful women who followed Old Man Zhang into the tomb became pregnant soon. The villagers were shocked, and the couple who had never had children in the village also visited them to ask Old Man Zhang for help. Old Man Zhang still responded to his requests and would lead the women into the tomb every time. As for what happened inside, Old Man Zhang didn't say anything, and those women didn't mention anything.
But not long after, some people discovered that the once-nothing grass in the child's hill seemed to have rebirth, and flowers and plants had grown, and even the dead trees nearby came alive.
Just like this, the little boy has completely changed his appearance, full of vitality, and no gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. Old Man Zhang also said that it was time for him to leave.
Before leaving, everyone in the village came to see him off, and Old Man Zhang finally told the truth.It turns out that the reason why the children's posts were reborn and the reason why those women were able to get pregnant was because he sent the dead souls of the children wandering near the posts into their stomachs.
It turns out that Old Man Zhang was originally a resident of the village, but the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls in the village is very serious. When some women become pregnant, they will be taken to the doctor by their elders to check, wanting to see if they are a man or a woman. But who can tell this kind of thing clearly? But the villagers, based on the principle of "being wrongly killed than missing", killed all the children who might be girls in the cradle, and the children's mattresses were all such dead souls.
When Old Man Zhang's wife was pregnant, her parents suspected that she was a daughter and said that she would abort the child no matter what. As a result, she overdoses the drug and had two lives.
This incident hit Old Man Zhang a big blow. He eventually left the village and accidentally met a Taoist priest . He learned a lot of skills with him, including the secret method of saving children's souls and helping them reincarnate. Leading those women into the tomb is to cast spells so that their former children can return to their side. It is precisely because these women will keep this secret together without mentioning a word.
After learning the truth, the villagers suddenly realized and finally understood Old Man Zhang’s good intentions. Since then, men and women have been treated equally in the village, and no longer have the cases of girls dying prematurely.
