Chapter 12: The Eagle Catches the Chick
I just heard the white bone say that it was going to take me to a place, so I found that it was hard to turn around and move, do I really want to follow it?
I saw its white hair flowing behind me, and its bones glowing with that water-based metallic paint, and I didn't want to follow it, but my feet lifted up automatically.
At this moment I realized that my feet didn't seem to come from me, why didn't I let them move, they just lifted up automatically, what the hell is going on?
I walked slowly behind the bones, but I found that the situation of the house had changed, and the original hall was gone, replaced by a desolate mountain range, and the mountains were dead and silent everywhere, except for bulging earth bags and the upright tombstones, and I saw that the bones were right in front of me.
I ran as hard as I could, hoping to catch it, but by this time I had reached the same speed as I had when I was training two years ago, but I found that I still hadn't caught up with the row of bones in front of me.
I could see that I didn't know when I changed into a green shroud, and I suddenly woke up, am I a dead man? Why am I wearing a shroud, or am I a dying man?
I continued to chase after the bones in front of me in confusion, although I couldn't catch up, but I was still running desperately, as if if I could leave this lonely place if I caught up with it, what made me come to this place?
Am I already a dead man, as I just guessed? But I don't even know when I died.
Just as I was trying to figure it out, I suddenly heard some giggling sound creeping into my ears, and I suddenly looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and to my horror I saw some women surrounded by several children, and then they started playing there, and I saw them playing a game called Eagle Catching Chicks.
When I was a child, kindergarten teachers often played with me, but at this moment, how could I be in the mood to recall these beautiful things?
All I could remember was the horrible image of the woman and a few children playing, and to be precise, all that was left was the bones.
I could tell from their heads that they were women, with long flowing black hair, long blonde hair, or long brown hair, and the skeleton of the children was relatively small, and several women were pulling these children.
Playing the game I mentioned above in the grave in the center, I found that the white-haired bones that brought me over just now turned out to be the big eagle among them, and the three white bones in front of the row were chicken mothers, and the children in the back were chickens.
I'm the only spectator in this game, surrounded by weeds and dead mountains, and all that's left are tombstones and protruding dirt bags, and suddenly I see a grave with no trees growing anywhere, and there are no weeds, what is that? At this time, I suddenly remembered a story that my grandfather told me about the grave:
My grandmother just died on the Qingming Festival that year, and after the person died, before entering the coffin, he had to wear a set of shrouds, and the powder was good, and it seemed that the things that could not be obtained in front of him could be obtained in this piece of white paper. On the morning of the funeral, according to the custom of our family, I, as a grandson, had to lift the coffin.
There was a man named Uncle Tang in front of him, and there was an old man beside him, and I was carrying the coffin with my brother behind them. Not long after my grandmother left, he encountered another incident like this:
In the evening of this day, he was feeding medicine to a child in the dilapidated house at the head of the village, a boy with a very severe fever, about seven or eight years old, when suddenly an old man with a neatly dressed goatee came in at the door, and he looked inside the two tiled houses, saying that he wanted to ask Uncle Tang for help.
The old man was about sixty years old, but his beard was a little gray, and he wore a black top hat, and he did not look like a mountain man at all, but like a merchant in the town.
Uncle Tang glanced at it and lowered his head and said, "I'm busy...... Can't help you......"
The old man stretched out his hand and handed over a basket of wine and food, bowed down and opened it and placed it on the floor of the room, Uncle Tang was a little excited, and hurriedly said a few thanks, and the boy leaning against the wall was woken up by the aroma of these foods, and immediately devoured them.
The old man didn't say anything next, and when the two of them finished eating, he directly led Uncle Tang from the mountain path to a very remote wood, Uncle Tang had never been here, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
They stopped near a large pit more than ten meters square, and there was a black coffin in the pit.
Looking at this old man, Uncle Tang's heart was a little nervous, he didn't know what this old guy was going to do, did the people in the coffin have any deep hatred with him? How to dig it out of the soil for others!
Uncle Tang pretended to be puzzled and asked, "This ...... What did you call me to do? In reality, there is no paper to pay tribute to them, so what should they tie? ”
"Hmph, this is a coffin from decades ago, and I can't open this coffin, so I want to ask you to help open it......"
The old man shook his head and said such a sentence, Uncle Tang was immediately stunned, turned his head to look at this serious businessman, and was a little frightened by him.
"This ...... I'm just a paper-pasting craftsman, I'm afraid I can't do what you say......"
"Don't pretend, I know you've done this before, and now you're so down, it's a good time to make money, besides...... Shouldn't you have eaten their food in return? ”
Uncle Tang suddenly realized, and suddenly said excitedly: "Sir...... This kind of thing is generally detrimental to Yang Shou, but there is nothing special about this coffin......
Before he finished speaking, the old man stuffed a bag of silver dollars into his hand, squinted his eyes and looked at him with a smile, a little mysterious.
Uncle Tang smiled when he saw the money, and his eyes opened when he saw the money, which may be to describe a person like him, but it is really not cost-effective for him to make money now.
This is a blood-sealed coffin, also known as the reincarnation coffin in the Yin-Yang Technique, Uncle Tang has already seen the flaw at a glance, the blood of this coffin has leaked out, and now there may be no bones in it at all, maybe it has become a wild corpse wandering in the mountains!
"Wait! Is this thing dangerous, what do you mean by ...... Shou? The old man suddenly grabbed him and asked.
"This ...... You yourself thought that this coffin should be an evil sect, so that's why you called me, right? It's night again, and you're really going to pick the hour......" Uncle Tang smiled!
The last ray of light in the sky disappeared silently at this moment, the light around was already very weak, those guys lit five or six torches to illuminate, and Uncle Tang smiled and slowly approached the coffin, ready to start.
Maybe he had really dealt with corpses before, no matter what kind of corpse he had seen, but now his hand had pressed to the lid of the coffin, slowly stroking back and forth, as if he was feeling something.
The old man asked nervously in the back: How is it? What's going on with the bones now?
Uncle Tang smiled, he said very calmly: There are no bones, I am sure that the corpse is gone, and I am not sure if there are jewels......
As soon as he said this, the five or six guys around him were a little scared at that time, and hurriedly gathered together and stopped the child brought by Uncle Tang in front of him, very nervous.
"No body? Impossible, right...... It doesn't make sense! Am I in the wrong place? The old man suddenly muttered to himself.
After this incident, Uncle Tang told me that it was because the corpse was taken directly to the underworld in the Yin Tomb so it disappeared, and legend has it that the Yin Tomb will have a road to the underworld.
At this moment, when I think of Uncle Tang's words from now on, my heart is even more frightened, because I know that the grave in front of me that has nothing growing is the legendary Yin Tomb, and in front of me are those white bones who are playing with the big eagle and catching the chicken, what should I do?
Do I feel like I'm going to be scared out of my pants like I was two years ago?
These white bones can actually carry out human activities, and they can also play games, they are playing, but the position is impartial standing in front of the yin tomb, watching them play with me At this moment, I accidentally stepped on a bone behind me, and made a sound, this sound just attracted the attention of those white bones, they stopped playing and all turned their faces towards me!
Sensing that they had discovered me, my heart twisted, and with so many bones looking at me, who wouldn't be afraid?
Although I am a police officer, but I am still a fluke as a police officer, I have less than 2 years of work experience, so my police officer can be said to be in name, that time was not Tong Xin sued me for a moment, I couldn't solve the case at all, I think that I can be a police officer because of my wife.
I was scared when I thought of Tong Xin, and if she found out that she hadn't gone home yet, she would be very worried!
I was stunned to find that the white bones had come to my side and surrounded me, but what surprised me even more was that I had kept a certain distance from them just now, and the grave was not next to me, but now the grave was at my feet, and I was stepping on a house where a dead man lived.
At this point, I was in the very center above the bulging dirt bag.
