Chapter 29: Ghosts
Just when I was thinking about Luo Qiaoyu and the witch mother-in-law, I heard Luo Wantian's voice coming: "Uncle Village, you are here!" ”
I looked up at the courtyard and saw the village chief coming slowly with a cane, followed by his son Luo Hongze. Yes, the funerals in Luojia Village have always been presided over by the village chief, and I think it was Luo Wantian who invited him.
The village chief stepped forward and said in a deep voice to Luo Wantian: "Let's start clearing the field!" ”
Luo Wantian nodded, and announced loudly to the busy people in the courtyard: "Tonight's vigil, men over the age of sixteen stay, and other old and young women, please go back!" ”
So, some people put down their things and slowly exited, I watched them leave, and said to myself, "It seems that the main field is about to begin!" ”
In the past, I left with everyone, and this time I was at my own funeral, and I should be able to stay and watch the special funeral in Luojia Village. Just as I was thinking this, I saw Luo Wantian and Luo Hongyan walking towards me.
It was Luo Wantian who spoke, and I saw him say with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard, our brother will come to the vigil at night, please go back to the room to rest first!" ”
I was stunned and said, "Can't I stay?" ”
Luo Wantian shook his head, "Sister-in-law, this is the rule of our Luojia Village, and women are not allowed to participate in the vigil." ”
There was an apology on his face, and I had to get up when I saw this, "That's hard work for you!" ”
Nodding slightly to them, he walked towards the back room, and Luo Wantian's voice came from behind.
"Sister-in-law, no matter what you hear at night, don't come out!"
I paused as I walked, suppressed my curiosity, and went into the house to rest.
I looked at the purple jade box placed at the head of the bed and muttered, "Luo Hongxuan, this is your brother's funeral for you, will you come out to take a look?" ”
My yard is small, and even in the back room, I can hear the movement outside when the doors and windows are locked.
I only heard Luo Wantian say to the village chief: "Uncle, it's been cleared!" ”
"Is his daughter-in-law okay?" The voice of the village chief.
"It's okay! It's already in! ”
"Let's get started!"
The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and the men who had been left behind were silent, and then the voice of the village chief seemed to be chanting.
"Wandering wandering souls, where to stay, the three souls descend early, and the seven spirits are coming! Soul, soul, return, spirit, spirit, thought, Gaolan is pathed, Si Lu gradually. The Zhanzhan River is full of water, and there is a maple on it. The eyes are extremely thousand, and the heart is sad. The Soul Returns! ”
It's a spiritualist spell, and the village chief is actually summoning spirits!
I was frightened, and when I saw the purple jade box shaking violently, I hurriedly rushed over and hugged it firmly. shouted in his heart: "Don't come out, Luo Hongxuan, don't come out!" ”
I didn't know that the village chief could summon spirits! They held a funeral for Luo Hongxuan, but it was just to recruit Luo Hongxuan back!
But Luo Hongxuan's earth soul is the witch mother-in-law who was finally locked in the purple jade box, if he is allowed to come out like this now, what the witch mother-in-law has done for us will not be in vain.
I held the purple jade box in my arms tightly, and kept shouting in my heart not to come out.
I don't know if my blocking worked, but I saw that the purple jade box gradually calmed down.
Outside the house, the village chief's incantation had been repeated for the second time, and then a "bump" was heard, the sound of a crutch hitting the ground.
Then I heard Luo Hongyan say: "Uncle, I didn't recruit it!" ”
The village chief answered, and there was no sound. After a long time, he said: "I'll try again, maybe he died in another country, and it is difficult for his soul to return." ”
"But I clearly felt that Luo Hongxuan's soul had returned some time ago!" Luo Wantian said: "Later, I somehow lost his breath. ”
It turns out that this is the case, so they want to summon spirits through funeral! But what are they going to do when they recruit Luo Hongxuan back?
"No matter what, you have to summon Hongxuan's soul back!" Luo Hongyan said.
"Yes, the people of our Luojia Village have to return to the mountains and forests after death!" Luo Wantian should be peaceful.
"Or, Daddy, try again!" This is the voice of Luo Hongze, the son of the village chief.
"Okay, the old man will try again!" The village chief replied.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the village chief chanting a mantra sounded, and I hugged the purple jade box tightly, praying in my heart that Luo Hongxuan would not come out. Can't let them mess up my plans!
It didn't take long for me to feel as if my surroundings were suddenly cold, and my body was shaking, as if it had suddenly reached the depths of winter. I hid on the bed, holding the purple jade box and pulling the thin quilt over my body, looking nervously at the closed window.
"How do you feel cold!" Luo Hongze shouted.
"It's like, it's suddenly getting cold."
There was a sudden commotion outside, and I really wanted to go out to have a look, but I was afraid that if I went out, Luo Hongxuan inside would be recruited.
"Oh no!"
"Daddy, stop!"
At this moment, a scream came from outside, the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground. I couldn't hold back any longer, so I ran to the window and quietly opened a gap in the window to look out.
I saw that the courtyard was already in chaos, the villagers fell to the ground, screaming and screaming, the tables and chairs that were originally placed in the courtyard had fallen into a piece, and the whole yard was in a mess.
There were many blue fires emerging in the courtyard, as if the blue fires I had seen in the mountains and forests in the back mountains, and they were floating around in the courtyard at the moment, and the villagers were hiding from their attacks.
"What's going on, Uncle Village?" Luo Hongyan shouted, he was busy driving.
"It seems that Uncle Village Commander summoned the spirits to summon those things in the back mountain!" Luo Wantian is also busy!
"Quick, open the courtyard door!" The village chief shouted urgently.
But someone had already rushed to the gate of the courtyard, but now it was already blocked at the gate of the courtyard, and more blue flames poured into the courtyard.
"Aze, go and ask for a shrine maiden!" The village chief fell to the ground, his body already covered with blue flames.
"Dad, I can't get out, how can I please?" Luo Hongze rushed over to help the village chief and drove away the blue fires, but these blue fires seemed to be crazy and kept attacking them.
"How so? Aren't those ancestors of Locke's Village, how could they attack the people of Locke's Village? "I hid behind the window and looked at the courtyard in fear.
At that moment, the blue flames seemed to have discovered something, and they rushed straight in my direction.
"Ahh I screamed and fell to the ground, and then I felt a rush of cold rush over me, and I saw the blue flames squeezing towards me.
I hurriedly crawled back, but the blue fire kept coming to me as if it were alive. My body was getting colder and colder, and my whole body felt like I had fallen into an ice hole in the cold winter.
"Not good!" I heard Luo Wantian shouting outside, and then there were footsteps.
But I was already black-eyed, and I fell to the ground, and the moment I fell, I seemed to hear a crisp bell ringing.
