Chapter 20: Return to Return

Uncle Zeng heard about the three coffins from Carpenter Ge. That was more than eight years ago, and one night Old Man Wu and his second son came to knock on the door of Carpenter Ge's house.

Everyone is a villager, and Carpenter Ge didn't care. But after listening to what Old Man Wu wanted, he felt that this thing was strange.

Because Old Man Wu asked him to help beat three small coffins, he didn't say what to do. Carpenter Ge was curious, but he didn't want to ask in detail, and Wu Lao Er also took out all the money he had earned in recent years and asked him to help keep it secret.

For the sake of the 'great unity' and the villagers' anger, Carpenter Ge gave three small coffins. At that time, although the carpenter's skills were not as good as those of Taoist priests, they also knew some secret arts and other things.

Because he was afraid that Old Man Wu would go the wrong way, when he handed over the coffin, he was told not to do anything about it.

Old man Wu didn't say anything, only said that he was leaving roots for the old Wu family.

Later, Wu Lao Er talked about his daughter-in-law, and later became married, Huang Pizi cried and mourned, Wu Lao, Wu Laosan hanged himself, and the old Wu family moved at the suggestion of Uncle Zeng.

This matter passed like this, and Carpenter Ge didn't pay much attention to it, after all, seven or eight years had passed. What happened in the past seven or eight years is not more important than three thin wooden coffins?

In the end, Carpenter Ge didn't understand the reason why Old Man Wu wanted three small coffins. This time, Uncle Zeng also went to find him, and after asking and reminding him, he remembered that there was such a thing.

After the three coffins were lifted, the thin wooden coffin was pitch black for some reason. At the same time as the coffin was opened, black gas emanated from the cracks, and the grandfather was not present at the time, still lying on the bed, these things were told by the people who participated in it later.

At that time, there were three people who opened the coffin, one was Village Chief Chen, one was Zhao Erzhuang, and one was Wang Fugui.

Village Chief Chen was the one who took the lead, not just because he was worried about the Wu family, but more importantly, there was a disaster in the village, and it happened every other day with the Wu family's accident, so he felt that the two things might be related in some way.

The coffin board was not a solid piece of wood, and when it was pried open with a click, it stinked inside. There was actually a yellow-skinned corpse, sitting at the bottom of the coffin in a meditative posture.

The yellow skin moves like a human, and the fur on the whole body is yellow and white. The entrails and flesh had rotted away, and I didn't know how the fur and skeleton had been preserved in such a state and in such a flawless state.

When the villagers next to them saw this scene, they were all scared without exception. Uncle Zeng also gasped, and then looked at the other two coffins, all of which were buried with a yellow skin in a meditative posture.

Sit in the coffin!

This is also a kind of tomb bureau, in the feng shui bureau, the 'three evils' are also used, but unlike the 'three evils to hand over the coffin', this kind of tomb bureau is a kind of forcible 'borrowing' of the tomb.

"It's not good! Go to Old Wu Tou's house!" Uncle Zeng screamed badly, let a few people stay here, and hurried to Old Man Wu's new home.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Village Chief Chen sent someone to the cowshed to watch, and he also took someone to follow him to Old Man Wu's house.

Before he got closer, he saw white paper flying, paper money scattered around the Wu family, and traces of groundbreaking. Uncle Zeng found the 'three shasers' that day, and a wooden stake was inserted on them.

Uncle Zeng pulled up one of them and saw that the stake was seven inches long, half cut into the soil, and the tip was coated with black dog blood, which was inserted in the position of the coffin underground.

Seeing this scene, Uncle Zeng closed his eyes suddenly, sighed heavily, and inserted the stake back.

Village Chief Chen, who arrived at the scene, also wondered when he saw this scene, so he asked what was going on. Uncle Zeng didn't speak, and asked them to go into the house to see by themselves, and Village Chief Chen went in suspiciously.

Pushing open the wooden door, which had no effect, the wind through the hall shook a figure. The villagers who saw the man clearly were all so frightened that their faces were bloodless, and they fled crying and crying.

Village Chief Chen was also so frightened that he almost urinated on his crotch, only to see the corpse of the old man Wu hanging from the beam of the house, staring at his eyes and sticking out his tongue, his whole face was the color of bruises, like a ghost!

The stubborn and stubborn old man Wu was actually hanged under his own beam!

Village Chief Chen was bold and called a helper to relieve Old Man Wu. I made a stretcher out of the board and lay down, but those eyes refused to close.

Uncle Zeng sighed, extinguished the ashes, walked over with his hands behind his back and said, "Brother, you can go with peace of mind." Xiao Yezi's life, I saved it. ”

Uncle Zeng's voice was not loud, it was very vicissitudes, but it was very powerful. After saying this, something unthinkable happened, and Old Man Wu's wide-open eyes slowly closed as if he was really relieved.

At this time, something even more strange happened. Hundreds of yellow skins came out of nowhere around the Wu family, and the inner three layers and the outer three layers surrounded this place.

Although the people of Taiqing Village often see Huangpizi and worship Huangpizi Temple, they have never seen so many Huangpizi appear in the same place in their lives, and most of them are so frightened that their legs and stomachs are weak.

What's even more evil is that these yellow skins surround the inside and outside three layers, but they don't attack people, they just keep screaming at the location of the 'Three Evils'.

What's more, there were more than a dozen yellow-skinned people who wanted to pounce on Old Man Wu's body. The face is hideous, as if there is a deep hatred.

At this time, Uncle Zeng stepped forward and stood in front of the corpse, obviously looking like an old farmer in the countryside, but at this moment, there was a bit of an innumerable and unclear temperament, which made those yellow skins hesitate to retreat.

"The road is high, the dragon and the tiger are subdued, and the ghosts and gods are heavy. At this time, from the Taiqing Village, where it is great to be able to read and write, a sentence came out from the faint side, "You are a person of high morality, why do you have to take such a big cause and effect for yourself at this critical moment?"

No one knows where the sound came from, and if you think about it, it seems to come out of everyone's head.

Uncle Zeng said: "If you can't help the common people and carry forward Taoism, what kind of Tao can you cultivate? No matter what the Wu family has done, Wu Xiaoye is innocent, and the karmic consequences should not be borne by him." ”

If everyone hadn't heard that ethereal voice, they might have thought that Uncle Zeng was crazy. He was speaking righteously into the air, and the group of yellowskins fell silent.

"Humane Miao, fairy reckless, ghost reckless......" The voice appeared again, singing a scripture and gradually drifting away, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." ”

The large group of yellow-skinned people turned and left, and the god-like image of Uncle Zeng in the eyes of everyone changed back to the old peasant before, and it seemed that he was much older.

"Immortal noble life, immeasurable people. ”

The three coffins did not come out in the end, and Uncle Zeng had the three wooden stakes nailed into the ground until they could no longer be seen.

After Old Man Wu was reported to commit suicide by Village Chief Chen, people from the county investigated, and finally only came to the conclusion that 'he committed suicide due to excessive psychological pressure'.

But... Who was buried in the coffin? What happened to the three small coffins? Where did Sister Liu go? Why did Old Man Wu hang himself in the house?

These things, as Old Man Wu was sealed in a coffin and buried underground, were also brought to the grave with his death.

And after this day, a traveler came to the village and bought the skeletons of three yellow-skinned children at a high price.

Wu Xiaoye, who had been in a coma for five or six days, also got better inexplicably, but when he woke up, the blow of losing all his relatives almost crushed the poor child.

Later, at the suggestion of Uncle Zeng, under the appearance of Village Chief Chen, Wu Xiaoye worshiped Li Lame, who was weaving sacks in the village, as his godson.

After a few more years, Li lame moved out of Taiqing Village, and Wu Xiaoye also disappeared.

After that incident, Huangpizi still rampaged the village, retaliating and killing livestock at will, and even attacking the villagers, making the residents of Taiqing Village unbearable.

But Uncle Zeng seemed to be gone, and went back to the old Taoist temple in Taiqing Mountain to keep the precepts and retreat, and no one knew what he was going to do, including his grandfather, who couldn't guess at all, because after Uncle Zeng's retreat began, he couldn't even meet him.

The yellow skin in the village is too fierce, and grandpa wants to do his part after he can go to the ground. But no matter how many times he went to the Yellow Pizi Temple, the yellow coat never appeared in his dream again.

Everything is so weird that it's hard to sit still.

In desperation, Village Chief Chen went to the neighboring village to invite other 'half-immortals' and Mr. Yin and Yang, and in just two months, all the gentlemen from ten miles and eight towns were invited. But no one came up with a way, and some even hadn't entered the village yet, and when they saw it from afar, they shook their heads and changed color, saying that they couldn't manage it.

Village Chief Chen's hair was turning gray during this time, and he ran to his grandfather every day, begging him to find a way.

The people of Taiqing Village were panicked, and the grandfather was also anxious, and a copy of "Dragon and Tiger Records" was about to be turned over and failed to find a proper solution.

Either his Taoism is not high enough, or the materials that need to be made up are illusory. After all, it is a manuscript written hundreds of years ago, not to mention that the name of some materials may have changed, even if it is extinct, it is not impossible.

The Huangpizi was so fierce that many villagers were forced to drag their families and leave their hometowns within two months.

Before going to bed that day, Grandpa decided that no matter what Uncle Zeng was doing, in the current situation where human life was at stake, even if he broke through the door of morality tomorrow, he would tie the old man back!

But what he didn't expect was that that night, there were dark clouds on Taiqing Mountain, and thunder was like a drum!

The rumbling thunder resounded through the four fields, and under the power of the sky, the entire Taiqing Village was quiet. The chickens were long gone, and the dogs were silent, shrunken in their kennels.

The whole village was filled with an indescribable depression, and they entered the house early, closed the door, and did not dare to stay outside for even a second.

Immediately afterward, an astonishing lightning split the night, and the blinding white light illuminated the night again and again.

Many people say that they have seen such a powerful lightning bolt in their lives.

At last the thunder stopped, the lightning ceased, and the downpour that followed stopped at dawn.

Grandpa didn't sleep all night, and he always felt restless, like something was going to happen.

Early the next morning, Grandpa had just gotten up when he heard a dull cow bark.

'Moo~'.

Hearing this, grandpa had some strange feelings in his heart, and hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to see, feeling that he would miss something if he was late!

He opened the door and saw that under the morning light in the east, Uncle Zeng, dressed in a clean robe, was sitting on the back of the big yellow ox, and was about to go out.

After two months of plague in the village, the panicked yellow-skinned people lined up neatly on both sides, and kept bowing to the old man on the back of the ox like a human being.

After bowing, led by a big yellow skin, this group of yellow skins left Taiqing Village and returned to Taiqing Mountain, which is high and densely forested.

Grandpa looked at Uncle Zeng on the back of the cow in a daze, Uncle Zeng did not look back, and sat the ox away until he was nowhere to be seen.

There is only one sentence, which seems to ring in my ears: "What is life, what is death? Don't be sad, don't look for me, you have to teach Taoism, Taoism... Flourish. ”
