Chapter Ninety-Five: The Old Grave Woman's Coffin
Xu Youcai deliberately accentuated the last demon word, and I also remembered more details.
Maybe the hand that stroked and teased me a few days ago, with the scent of roses, was not actually a dream, it was all the black cat doing the trick.
I can't help but sigh that there are not only ghosts in this world, but also demons......
It's just that I can't figure it out, what is the purpose of that black cat that broke into my house for so many days without hesitating to be injured by the charm?
I frowned and asked:
"Dao Chief, is the black cat in my house good or bad?"
Xu Youcai stretched out his hand and motioned for me to drink tea, and then said slowly:
"According to your description, this cat fairy doesn't seem to mean to harm you, if it wants to be vicious, it can suck your yang energy dry in the first night, and you won't have a chance to sit here. ”
"But you still have to be careful, the demons are cunning, especially the cat fairy. ”
"I guess it's something in your house or on you?"
I touched my pockets, which were almost empty, and thought about my own home, where my parents weren't there, and I couldn't figure out what else was worth peeking at.
The more I thought about it, the more irritated I became, so I said:
"Dao Chief, I don't bother to care what the reason is, please help me quickly and get rid of this demon...... At least get rid of it. ”
Xu Youcai nodded and said:
"Don't worry!"
He glanced at the time again, and then said:
"Later, I'll help the villagers with some errands, and when it's four o'clock, I'll go home with you." ”
I was instantly overjoyed, Xu Youcai went to my house in person, it must be better than me to deal with it myself.
I hurriedly said:
"That's great!"
Xu Youcai then chatted with me a few more words, and was called out by the villagers.
I was idle anyway, so I walked out of the ancestral hall with Xu Youcai.
Xu Youcai didn't treat me as an outsider, and said everything directly in front of me.
It was through their conversations that I figured it out.
……
It turns out that there is an old grave on the hill behind the village, which is said to have been left by the ancestors of the village.
The history of the village is not long, when the Qing Dynasty collapsed, many palace officials and magnates were expelled and hunted down, the old man said that their ancestors were one of the small officials who fled here, and after settling down, over time they formed this village.
After the death of the ancestors, they were buried from Jane.
When Xu Youcai came to this village ten years ago, he once dealt with a strange woman who harmed people.
Because the old tomb of the ancestors is righteous and yang, in order to suppress the corpse of the strange woman, it is proposed to bury it under the coffin of the ancestors, make a grave on the grave, and make a coffin on the coffin.
Since then, the village has been in good weather and the families are happy, and no strange things have happened, even illness is extremely rare.
But in recent days, something big has happened to the old grave.
The woman's coffin, which was pressed under the coffin of her ancestors, was suddenly dug up!
Xu Youcai hurried back to the village to deal with this matter.
……
The people who called Xu Youcai away were two dark-skinned young men, Xu Youcai asked as he walked:
"Da Niu, did you do what I said?"
The man named Da Niu obviously had special respect for Xu Youcai, and hurriedly said:
"Such a big matter, how dare our brothers not listen to Immortal Master Xu. ”
"I used the black rope you gave me to tie it strongly, and I offered nine sticks of incense every time for four hours a day, and I found a dozen or so brothers, and they did not blink their eyelids, and kept watch day and night. ”
"But last night, the coffin lid still cracked...... Hey!"
When Da Niu said this, he swallowed his saliva with palpitations, and a look of horror kept flashing in his eyes.
Xu Youcai didn't say anything more, but his brows furrowed deeper.
The big bull led the way in front and soon arrived at the site of the so-called old grave.
Before I could get closer, my heart chuckled, because the scene in front of me was really weird.
Although it was daytime, a circular hole was dug by someone on the side of this old tomb bun.
Outside the cave was a relatively new wooden coffin, the traces of which were still there, and because of the dampness, the coffin looked oily, and it was tied like a finger-thick black rope like a net.
I followed Xu Youcai and walked over cautiously, only then did I see the scene described by Da Niu just now.
On the lid of the coffin, there was indeed an extremely obvious crack, more like a lightning bolt.
I said curiously:
"Is this a grave robber?"
Da Niu turned his head and looked at me honestly, and said anxiously:
"Who has nothing to do, doesn't want money, drags the coffin out and plays, and doesn't take it away. ”
"I think there are bad people who want to clean up our village, deliberately!"
The rest of the villagers on the side also said:
"Immortal Master Xu is back, you must find out what it is, and see which thief is not long-eyed!"
Xu Youcai waved his hand and signaled everyone not to worry.
He first bent down and squatted at the entrance of the cave, dipped his fingers in the dirt and sniffed it, and then carefully inspected the surroundings of the old tomb, his face becoming more and more ugly.
In the end, under the expectation of everyone, he just raised his hand and said:
With a few strong men, they carried the female coffin to the ancestral hall. ”
This decision obviously made everyone not very satisfied, but they were afraid of Xu Youcai's prestige, and they were all talking in a whisper.
An old man grabbed Xu Youcai and whispered:
"Immortal Master Xu, you know better than me what the ancestral hall is, it is natural for you to live in it, but this female coffin is not suitable to carry it in, right?"
Xu Youcai pressed the old man's hand and said patiently:
"The ancestral hall has the blessing of the ancestors, and it is just right to suppress the evil spirit of this female coffin, Uncle Liu can rest assured. ”
Seeing Xu Youcai say this, everyone had no objections, and several middle-aged men led by Da Niu carefully carried the coffin down the mountain with a rope and a long stick, and moved it into the ancestral hall.
I felt that Xu Youcai seemed to be hiding something from the people in the village, so when there was no one, I asked Xu Youcai in a whisper:
"Dao Chief, is there something wrong with this female coffin?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Youcai nodded unreservedly and said:
"That's right, something big could happen tonight!"
I was slightly stunned, and my mind instantly thought of the horror scene in the movie, so I continued to ask:
"This ...... Is the female coffin going to be transformed into a zombie?"
Xu Youcai shook his head solemnly and said patiently:
"Movies are all fake, where in this world are zombies, corpses may still be transformed. ”
"But this female coffin is estimated to be more difficult to deal with than the corpse!"
After Xu Youcai finished speaking, he raised his head and began to think thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something.
I was really curious about these things, so I asked:
"Dao Chief, can you tell me what terrible things will happen tonight?"
Xu Youcai turned his head to stare at me, and after a pause, he said:
"If you're interested, you can stay in the ancestral hall tonight and help me, and you'll know what's going on then!"
