Situ Cao took several deep breaths, and his mood finally calmed down a lot.

"I know, thank you." Situ Cao smiled reluctantly, and then looked up at the gate of the Situ family's ancestral house: "Let's go in first." ”

Everyone nodded silently.

Within a few seconds, our group came to the gate of the Situ family's ancestral house.

Looking up, there is a large delicate lantern hanging on the left and right sides of the gate.

However, because it is uninhabited all year round, the lantern at this time is covered with cobwebs and dust, and it looks a little dilapidated.

The original magnificent red lacquer gate has long since turned rust color due to the baptism of time, and the gilded door nails on it have lost their luster, and the entire ancestral house of the Situ family has been covered with an indescribable weirdness.

The door is a typical double door that opens to the left and right sides of the old age, and there is a small door under the left door.

In fact, I later heard Situ Cao say that there is actually a special side door next to the main entrance of the ancestral house, as well as several smaller single doors, or according to the ancient saying, the single door should be called a household.

But it's the 21st century, so they don't pay attention to so many rules.

Everyone walked straight from the front entrance to the inside.

By the time we went inside, Situ Cao's eldest uncle, Situ Wende, had already instructed the men to light the lanterns all over the house.

As for the wires and whatever, they were originally installed in the ancestral house.

However, because they have not been back for many years and have not paid the electricity bill for a long time, the electricity has been stopped, and now in the middle of the night, there is no way to pay the electricity bill, so they choose to temporarily use the most primitive lighting method - lighting the candle in the lantern.

Situ Wende and Wenliang were busy arranging various matters in front, and instructed the men to place all kinds of items for the sacrifice on the table in the hall inside.

Because there was no power supply, the ice coffin could not be used, so they drove the others elsewhere and then put the old man's body directly into the coffin.

When we entered the hall, we saw a scene of a magnificent carved coffin placed on several benches placed side by side.

There was a statue of a god on the wall of the hall opposite us, but I didn't know much about it, so I didn't know which god it was.

I think it was for this reason that they didn't hang up the huge portrait of the old man anymore.

Countless benches, tables and chairs have been placed around, and snacks such as fruits, melon seeds, peanuts, and candies have also been put away for these relatives and friends who came to see the elderly off for the last time to sit and rest and eat.

Soon, a few more people carried the portable stereo inside, and since the power it stored could be used for a whole day, there was no need to worry about not being able to use it without electricity.

As soon as the switch was pressed, the mournful music that had been circulating in the single song before instantly sounded again and again.

The atmosphere suddenly turned heavy again.

However, the relatives and friends of the Situ family were obviously not affected much, they had already sat on the stool and began to talk casually in twos and threes.

The six of us sat in an inconspicuous corner, watching Situ Cao's uncle and second uncle busy directing their men to do some chores that had not yet been taken care of.

Suddenly, some admiration for them came, obviously not long ago, two people died in the old man's mourning hall.

They were able to forget about it so quickly and start talking to each other happily.

When I looked closely, several of them were Situ Cao's so-called cousins and cousins.

At this time, they were playing a game with their mobile phones, perhaps because of their bad luck, and from time to time they heard a few curses coming from their mouths.

It seems that the death of their grandfather is just a trivial matter for them.

Looking to the left again, I finally saw Situ Cao's father, Situ Wenyong, and her stepmother, Jin Shuman.

The two of them also looked like bystanders, unconcerned about the things around them, and they didn't look like they wanted to come forward to help.

When all the preparations were basically over, the old man who was still wearing a pair of sunglasses in the middle of the night finally walked slowly into the hall.

"Elder Fang, are you here?" The moment Situ Wende saw him, his expression suddenly became respectful, and he hurriedly walked to Old Fang's side and stretched out his hand to support the old man.

The old man he called Fang Lao waved his hand and rejected Uncle Situ Cao's kindness.

"Elder Fang, this place is all arranged according to your instructions, do you think it's okay?"

Situ Wende, who regarded himself very highly, actually asked the old man in front of him carefully in a humble and cautious tone.

"Hmm......" The old man replied noncommittally, looking around.

Just when he wanted to ask again, Elder Fang suddenly spoke: "Fortunately, the time is just in time, if it is half an hour late, it is estimated that there will be some terrible accidents tonight." ”

Maybe everyone else heard Fang Lao's words, maybe it was a coincidence.

In short, when he said that, the originally chattering and lively hall suddenly fell silent.

For a moment, all that remained in the huge hall was the constant cycle of mourning.

The atmosphere suddenly turned eerie.

Call~~

A gust of wind blew through the hall.

Everyone sitting there shook, and an inexplicable chill hit everyone's backs.

Call~~

Another cold wind was blowing.

I don't know what's going on, but the few open boxes of dark coins that were originally stacked by the guy on the corner table were blown by the wind, and they began to drift in all directions.

Suddenly, the hall was filled with colorful papers.

There are also some that directly pounced on the faces and bodies of some relatives of the Situ family.

Situ Jin and Situ Han were originally playing games outside, and a few pieces of dark paper flew to their eyes without warning, blocking their vision.

"Ah...... What is it? ”

"Ah......h

Situ Cao's eldest cousin Situ Jin and second cousin Situ Han exclaimed at the same time, and took the things off their eyes away.

However, when they saw what was in their hands, their faces turned white in an instant.

Not surprisingly, it was a couple of Dead Coins.

It reads "Heaven and Earth Bank" 10 million yuan, universal to heaven and earth, and a portrait of the Jade Emperor is also printed on the side.

The Jade Emperor in the Immortal Coin looked very majestic, but looking at it, he always felt that the corners of his mouth seemed to slowly hook up a strange smile.

"Ahh Situ Han screamed and desperately threw out the dark coin in his hand.

At this time, Fang Lao, who had not spoken, suddenly changed his face, and he said in a low voice: "Shut up!" ”

Turning his head, the old man looked at the position where Uncle Situ Cao was standing with a stern face: "Have all the incense and candles been lit?" Are all the braziers ready to burn the paper? ”

"Yet, not yet......" Situ Wende's face changed: "What, what's wrong?" ”

"Shanping is too resentful, and there is no incense and candle to offer in time, hurry up and prepare, there will be ten minutes before the murderous time, even the gods will not be able to save your Situ family at that time!" Old Fang's voice was solemn, without the slightest hint of joke.
