Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Ancestral Hall Guards the Coffin
I looked at Xu Youcai suspiciously and asked:
"Didn't you say try it first, how could you annoy the cat fairy?"
He replied with a serious expression:
"Fight with the demon, you still want to be able to be harmonious, the talisman array I put is low-level. ”
"But that cat fairy will definitely think that you are deliberately looking for someone to get it, even if it is a temptation, do you think it will be annoyed?"
Xu Youcai was right, I had to sigh, and at the same time kept dialing Zixuan's phone.
Because she had been turned off, I had no choice but to send another text message explaining the situation.
Returning to the village again, more than a dozen villagers had gathered in the ancestral hall, including strong men and old men, and they all seemed to be waiting for Xu Youcai's orders.
The coffin placed in the center of the ancestral hall has been replaced by an iron chain with a black rope, which is tightly wound, and the iron chains at the four corners are stretched straight, connecting the pillars in the ancestral hall respectively.
I also saw a jet-black wick hanging above the coffin, and the lamp was faint, as if it would be extinguished if it was slightly blown by the wind.
After Xu Youcai came back, he also began to get busy.
I followed him to help out and watched him step by step carefully, feeling like I would use it myself one day.
He also deliberately slowed down his movements, as if he wanted me to steal from school, so that things didn't get boring to do.
Do things seriously, and time will always slip away unconsciously.
In the blink of an eye, the sun turned from a sunny day to a sunset and dusk.
I also found that this Xu Youcai is very good at spells, and he spent the whole afternoon drawing talismans, pasting talismans, and the entire coffin body, except for the lid, was plastered all over other places.
From a distance, it looks like the coffin has been repainted with golden paint.
That's all there is to prepare, Xu Youcai said to the people who helped:
"Let's all go home to eat and rest, I will definitely guard this coffin tonight and try my best to keep everyone safe." ”
The people in this village are quite united, and they all volunteered:
"Immortal Master Xu, I'll come over to help you after eating!"
"I'm good at staying up late, I'll stay tonight. ”
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Xu Youcai lowered his head slightly and thought about it, and said:
"In this way, everyone volunteered to come over to help tonight, without forcing or encouraging, and those who came changed shifts, two people in each group, and kept watch for two hours. ”
After this arrangement, everyone finally left the ancestral hall temporarily with peace of mind.
At this time, I asked Xu Youcai:
"Dao Chief, what can I do?"
Xu Youcai seemed to have made arrangements and said to me:
"You're in a group with me tonight. ”
Then he went into the back room and went to prepare his own meal, which he also prepared for me.
Xu Youcai has no heirs and no disciples, and he seems lonely and miserable.
Dinner was just two bowls of congee, a plate of stir-fried water spinach, and pickled shredded pickles.
"Xiaodao is simple to eat, if you are not used to eating, you can go out and buy some, it will not get in the way. ”
I'm not a squeamish person, so I picked up the porridge and ate it.
Xu Youcai looked at me with a rare smile and smiled, the two of them didn't say anything, and finished the meal quietly.
I remembered the coffin placed in the center of the ancestral hall, so I asked curiously:
"Dao Chief, will the corpses inside come out tonight?"
Xu Youcai shook his head and said:
"Possibly, I'm not sure. ”
I went on to ask:
"Then if this female corpse comes out, do you think of how to deal with it?"
Xu Youcai shook his head again, exhaled lightly and said:
"Nope!"
"The spell outside is the most powerful thing I've learned all my life!"
"If you can't stop the female corpse, Xiaodao can only fight to the death. ”
His answer really surprised me, and I thought that he had made so many preparations, and he was already completely sure, but I didn't expect that not only did he not think of a good way, but he didn't even know whether the female corpse would come out.
Xu Youcai saw my thoughts and asked:
"Do you suddenly feel that Xiaodao is too useless?"
I quickly shook my head and said:
"That's really not it, Dao Chief, I just think...... Isn't it too risky to be unprepared? ”
Xu Youcai stood up, picked up his peachwood sword from the table, wiped it gently, and said:
"Ten years ago, a master told me that the people in this coffin would see the light of day sooner or later, and from that day on, I have taken it as my life's mission to protect this village!"
"That's all I can do, I can only do my best!"
His tone was steady, but powerful, and I listened to it with my own blood.
It's just that I don't understand, ten years ago, why did anyone know that this female corpse would get up?
And the resurrection of a corpse from a coffin after ten years is a new thing for me.
I didn't continue to ask, because Xu Youcai didn't seem to have the intention to say more.
He packed up his clothes and strode towards the ancestral hall.
By this time, it was already dark.
Although dozens of candles were lit in the ancestral hall, it still made me feel extremely dim, and from time to time the cold wind blew the candles erratically, reflecting the shadows of me and Xu Youcai, like a huge wild ghost dancing.
The coffin was placed in the center, and there was no movement.
I saw Xu Youcai sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and recuperating, bored himself, so I walked lightly to the coffin.
Looking at the crack in the coffin lid, it was pitch black inside.
I don't know where I got the courage, but I actually bent down and put my eyes to the crack, trying to see what kind of female corpse was lying inside.
That's when someone slapped me on the shoulder.
I was so frightened that I bounced up and turned my head with wide eyes.
It turned out that there was Xu Youcai behind me, I took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from my ears, and said with a dry smile:
"I said long, you scared my soul away......"
Xu Youcai also said seriously:
"The soul of a normal person cannot be frightened unless there is a special stimulus. ”
"In addition, don't look at the indecent things! The contents of this coffin, it's better not to look at them randomly!"
I nodded helplessly and leaned against the coffin to take a breath.
I was about to leave when I suddenly noticed that Xu Youcai's face became heavier and heavier, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the top of my head.
My back was cold, and I looked up with bated breath.
There was only one thing above my head, the jet-black wick lamp.
The core lamp had been burning steadily, but now it suddenly became wobbly, and the lamp on it kept dancing, as if there was a mouth on the edge trying to blow it out.
As soon as I thought so, the lamp suddenly "whew", and it really went out directly!
Instead, the wind outside the ancestral hall door was blowing in, and the wind was fierce, and it quickly blew out most of the candles in the ancestral hall, and even Xu Youcai's charms on the coffin were blown away several times, flying wildly in mid-air.
I only heard Xu Youcai frown and shouted:
"Not good!"
Before I could react, a hand came out of the coffin with a bang!, and grabbed my neck fiercely!
