Chapter 155: White Snake (Third Update)
Seeing that the sun was already in the west and it was getting late, the fortune teller said: "You may not be able to dig it up today, take something to cover the coffin, and don't let the rain get wet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several men had already returned with wooden shovels, and according to his instructions, they dug down the white snake he had spoken of in the designated place. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"White snake, that's a fairy!" the old men muttered in their hearts.
There is indeed a small white snake in the local area, but it is extremely rare, as soon as the old people see the little white snake, they will kowtow, and then find a plate covered with red cloth, invite the white snake to their home, burn incense and offer.
Strange to say, the White Snake always obediently crawls into the red cloth plate and enjoys the incense for a few days before leaving silently.
The fortune teller drew a circle of about one foot in the spot, and two people began to dig in the circle. Strange to say, the mud in the circle was obviously easier to dig than in other places, and it didn't take long to dig three feet deep.
Suddenly, a man shouted, "Ah, how come there are a bunch of frogs?"
The fortune teller's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped: "Don't dig anymore!"
Everyone is very strange, it is normal to dig frogs in winter, what is the fuss? It's just that where there are frogs, there are no snakes, this is natural common sense.
At this time, the fortune teller somehow sweated in the winter. He crouched down and took the frogs out of the pit one by one, and when he had finished catching them, he did not see the shadow of the white snake.
The sweat on his head was even greater, and he didn't know where his reasoning had gone wrong, and there was such a situation.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and shouted, "Are there still dragons and people born in December who have not left the scene?
Upon hearing this, several onlookers who were watching the coffin at the bottom of the river left in disagreement.
It's no wonder that these people, digging up such a strange thing as a transparent coffin, who doesn't want to watch it up close?
At this moment, I heard someone shouting, "Ah, white snake!
Everyone looked at it, isn't it, on the wooden shovel held by a worker, there is a small white snake coiled on the wooden pole.
What is slightly abnormal is that this white snake is not completely white, but with a little spots, and it is different from the very obedient white snake that everyone has seen, that is, it pokes its head high and spits out letters frequently, which is very vigilant, afraid of human attacks, and fierce.
The fortune teller was overjoyed, and carefully caught the little white snake and placed it next to the coffin.
The little snake burrowed down quickly, and in a short time it was gone.
When the little white snake got under the transparent coffin, the timid people began to exclaim, "Oh my God! Where did it go? How could it get underneath?"
As we all know, it is true that snakes burrow holes, but snakes themselves do not make holes, and most of them use the holes of yellow eels, or the original cracks in the land.
What's more, on such a cold day, it is incredible that the little white snake can still be so active!
The nerves of the crowd were tense for most of the day, and they could not bear too much weirdness, and most of them knelt in the mud and bowed in the most traditional but also the most respectful way of worshipping with twenty-four prostrations.
This is an extremely complex way of prostrating, including the direction of the eight trigrams, which is generally the most solemn way of kowtowing when the relatives pass away, led by the elderly, step by step, step by step, kowtow!
The twenty-four worships are over, and everyone is on their knees at a loss!
Yes, according to common sense, it should be crying now, for example, if the deceased is the uncle of the kneeling person, then he should cry uncle, the crying master of the younger generation, etc., but no one knows the surname of the kneeling this time, how to cry?
What if the one who prostrates is not a human being? If there is no distinction between heaven and earth and man, and the heavens and the earth are worshipped with human reason, then the heavens will be angry and the people will be resentful!
Then the fortune teller said, "Okay, just kowtow." It's getting late, let's go back to the shore and rest, tomorrow morning will be fine. ”
Everyone returned to the shore in silence, but no one wanted to go home at once, and those who belonged to the dragon and others who could not watch from the side asked them this and that in a hurry.
Suddenly, a young man who had not seen the white snake shouted, "What the hell is going on?" That fortune teller doesn't know what to do, what is he doing pretending to be a ghost at the bottom of the river? The transparent coffin is still not digging out? I think we might as well take a hammer tomorrow and smash it open! Let's ...... it."
Before he could finish shouting, he was gagged by his companion with a dirty mud hand to prevent him from saying more.
The old people glared at the hairy boy fiercely, and said: "You young people are too ignorant of the severity, but whenever you dig up the coffin during construction, you can not move it, even if you want to move, you must ask someone who understands to pay tribute, invite the happy materials out, and place them properly." ”
The fortune teller said lightly: "You still have to come out when you should come out, otherwise it will be troublesome?"
This was said in such an unfathomable and profound manner that everyone couldn't help but look at this gentleman with inquiring eyes, but they heard him say lightly: "Let's take a look tomorrow." I've got one hundred and eight black dog cutouts here, and you can stick them on the wall of your yard. Remember, all doors must be pasted with two, and the water tank must also be pasted, and this must be done by the dragon. Also remember, be sure to stick it when the sun comes out, and if it's cloudy tomorrow, don't put it up!"
His voice was not high, but it was very firm, the kind of firmness that broke everything.
The strange transparent coffin has already disturbed everyone's six gods, and after listening to the words of the fortune teller, they are all slightly settled.
But I heard the fortune teller tell me again: "Also, you must see how much water is in the tank, and how high the wet marks are on the outside of the tank." ”
Everyone obeyed the fortune teller's instructions and returned to the courtyard of the shed where they lived.
As soon as they sat down, they all looked at the black dog paper cut they had received from the fortune teller, and saw that this paper cut was very ordinary, that is, a puppy that was usually cut with black paper, but it seemed that it should be several years old, and the paper was a little old. Black dog paper-cutting is indeed used to ward off evil spirits, but now it is not a New Year's Day, and it is used to stick to the wall and the door, what role can it play?
It was surprisingly quiet that night, and there was no movement even for the usual snoring, and of course, who could sleep?
The old people smoked self-rolled cigarettes, and the flickering firelight made everyone hope that the dawn would come sooner.
Seeing that it was late at night, everyone still couldn't sleep, and suddenly, an old man seemed to say to himself: "Will this transparent coffin have anything to do with the bald tail Lao Li?"
