Chapter 269: Opening the Coffin
As soon as Lin Xi opened the coffin, he saw a corpse that had been carbonized, and the whole body of the corpse after being burned was tightly curled up, its mouth was wide open, and its face formed a distorted shape.
Zhao Xiaoyue saw that there was no corpse change, and said boldly: "We tried to cremate before, but the funeral home said that this corpse was strange and let us carry it back, so it looked like it was burnt." ”
Lin Xi looked at the corpse carefully, the elbow under the right arm was gone, it must have been cut down when the corpse was divided, she moved to the chest part of the corpse, and saw that there was something shining over there and was about to reach down, Ye Miaosheng, who had been silent, grabbed her hand and said, "What to do?" Not afraid of being bitten? ”
Lin Nan looked at Ye Miaosheng holding Lin Xi's hand, his eyes darkened, but he didn't make a move.
"I can't bear the child's wolf." Lin Xi picked up the piece of jade hidden in his chest with his fingertips, although it had been burned open, Ye Miaosheng still recognized its original appearance: "This is the talisman that Old Man Zhao has been carrying, and my sister said that jade has the function of suppressing evil spirits, so I was buried with Old Man Zhao." ”
"It seems that the amulet didn't work much." Lin Xi looked at the luster of the jade and said, "But the jade is a good jade." ”
"It's ......" Lin Xi raised his arm and saw through the sunlight a trace of blood hidden in the jade spreading faintly inside, like some kind of fateful involvement, but also with a violent aura that wanted to take people's lives.
"What's wrong?" Ye Miaosheng was keenly aware that there was something behind these words, but Lin Xi looked at the bloodshot in the jade but just smiled: "Can I keep this small piece?" Maybe it will be useful later. ”
Zhao Xiaoyue saw Lin Xi looking at her and nodded hurriedly, this was originally a broken piece of jade, which was no longer valuable.
Ye Miaosheng approached the coffin, looked at the old man Zhao who was all black, thinking about his previous indispensability, but now he ended up like this, he turned to look at Lin Xi and said, "When can the body be buried?" ”
Burial as soon as possible can also allow Old Man Zhao to rest in peace as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, the soul of this corpse hasn't come back yet."
Ye Miaosheng didn't understand what he meant, and only heard Zhao Xiaoyue shouting: "Little uncle, be careful behind your back." ”
At that moment, Ye Miaosheng's back had a cold and hard touch, and the cold air rose from his feet to the top of his head, making his scalp numb and not daring to move. Lin Xi quickly pulled out a piece of talisman paper and went to Ye Miaosheng's side as if it flashed, and fixed the corpse behind him.
Ye Miaosheng ran forward a few steps in a cold sweat, and when he looked back sharply, he saw the charred corpse standing in a strange posture that a normal person could not do, and the remaining hand was in a state of grabbing someone's neck, and his mouth was wide and deformed, as if he was roaring and wailing.
Zhao Xiaoyue was so frightened that she leaned on Ye Miaosheng tightly, Ye Miaosheng tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but kept scraping her face under her nose with her hand to restrain the constant tingling of her face.
And Xiao Sun was already in a state of shock at all this, so he could only hide behind Lin Nan honestly, silently reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart, blessed by the Buddha.
After a long while, they calmed down before they asked Lin Xi, who had been standing next to the corpse, "Why did he cheat the corpse again?" ”
Lin Xishuang pointed at the forehead of the corpse, and let him lie back in the coffin and said, "Because he is back." ”
Lin Xi's words made the two of them scratch their heads, who is he?
Lin Xi put a triple ban on this coffin, not only could the inside of the coffin not come out, but even the outside could not be opened with ordinary manpower.
Ye Miaosheng still wanted to grab Lin Xi and ask something, Lin Nan separated the two of them, lowered his head and asked Lin Xi, "What's wrong with that piece of broken jade?" ”
"It's not small, and I don't know how it became a talisman."
Lin Xi took Zhao Xiaoyue and Ye Miaosheng into Lin Nan's house and said to them: "You will live here tonight, and call me at any time if there is any change." ”
Ye Miaosheng closed his lips tightly and opened his eyes slightly, and it took a long time before he said: "Shouldn't you do something tonight, and then send Old Man Zhao away with peace of mind, and we will bury him tomorrow, and then everyone will be peaceful." ”
Lin Xi smiled: "If it's so simple, why don't all the Taoist Heavenly Masters over there dare to take over this job, and you want to take him all the way to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors." ”
Ye Miaosheng scratched his eyebrows, turned his head slightly sideways and looked at Zhao Xiaoyue, wanting to seek her opinion, Zhao Xiaoyue told him with the shape of his lips: I believe in Lin Xi.
Lin Nan's home is not spacious, there are only two large rooms and a narrow room, Lin Xi must be with Zhao Xiaoyue, Lin Nan looked at Ye Miaosheng and Xiao Sun, and offered to sleep in the small room with an expressionless face.
Xiao Sun may have something until tonight, and asked Lin Nandao with a shy face: "Brother Lin, can I sleep with you?" I'm less timid. ”
Ye Miaosheng kicked him: "What's the matter with you kid." ”
Lin Nan looks like a teenager now, he is also an adult, is there an adult who still needs to be protected by a child? But he didn't seem to remember that Lin Xi was also a minor.
Xiao Sun immediately smiled flatteringly: "I don't know why, as soon as I saw this little brother, I felt that he had a lot of yang energy, and there must be nothing that dared to approach him." ”
There is also the fact that when Old Man Zhao deceived the corpse just now, except for Lin Xi standing calmly in place, only Lin Nan was fearless and indifferent, so he directly told him that following Lin Nan would definitely not be contaminated with any supernatural events.
Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, this kid still has a bit of eyesight, her master is the purest and strongest body, even if he is reincarnated, ordinary ghosts can't get close.
Ye Miaosheng pulled him over: "Don't disturb others." ”
Although he was calm on the surface, he was also afraid of death in his heart, let him sleep alone, maybe he would choose to share a bed with three people.
At night, when no one was walking around in the village, Ye Miaosheng and Xiao Sun put the coffin in the courtyard according to Lin Xi's instructions, this is a manual work, the two of them were busy for a while, they were sweating all over their bodies, they originally wanted to take a bath, but Xiao Sun suddenly gave Ye Miaosheng a ghost story.
"Mr. Ye, have you ever heard of a person washing his hair with his eyes closed, his two hands rubbing his head together, rubbing very pleasantly, but soon he found that his right arm has actually been rubbing his body."
Ye Miaosheng didn't react at first, but when he comprehended it, he held back a "grass", and he didn't dare to take a bath and wash his hair, so he comforted himself, just wrap it up like this, maybe this smell can smoke away Old Man Zhao.
But when he lay down on bed A, he found that he had insomnia, he couldn't stand his own, and he couldn't stand Xiao Sun's, and Xiao Sun was a person who had been running outside for a long time, and he had slept in any environment, he now had a bed, and he started snoring when he got on the bed, leaving Ye Miaosheng alone to open his eyes and look at the dilapidated ceiling on bed A.
After Ye Miaosheng wasted half an hour on bed A, he finally turned over and got out of bed. He sat alone on the chair for a long time, and then he heard a movement outside, and asked aloud: "Zhao Xiaoyue?" ”
No one answered him, he called Lin Xi and Lin Nan's names again, but still didn't get a response, Ye Miaosheng opened the door of room A, and saw a series of black footprints on the right side stretching into the distance.
Ye Miaosheng comforted himself, it must be because he had just moved in, he hadn't cleaned it, it wasn't a ghost, it wasn't a ghost, he gave himself a reassuring smile, and was about to close the door, but he saw a row of footprints on the left side, and it was getting closer and closer, closer and closer, like, coming towards himself!
Seeing that the footprints were about to be next to the door, Ye Miaosheng immediately closed the door, took a few steps back in a panic, and stared at the door, his nerves were so tense that he might be able to jump in fright.
After waiting until there was no movement for a long time, he remembered that there was a living person in his room, and immediately stepped forward and shook Xiao Sun and said, "Wake up, wake up." ”
Xiao Sun turned over and didn't wake up, Ye Miaosheng stared at the door with his eyes, for fear that some monster would suddenly rush in, and touched Xiao Sun next to him with his hand, trying to wake him up, but he found that the feeling was wrong, what he was touching now was, like, a piece of charcoal.
Ye Miaosheng's heart was beating wildly, and he didn't dare to use his eyes to see what he was touching, he suddenly laughed, licked Fa Mu's lips, withdrew his hand and said, "Hehe, don't disturb your sleep." ”
When he finished speaking, he rushed to the door, but the kerosene lamp in the room suddenly turned on, and he heard a faint voice behind him: "Don't you care about me?" ”
The voice was both the crispness of a young man and the hoarseness of an old man, but it was not a voice that ordinary people could make, Ye Miaosheng's chest quickly rose and fell a few times, and he began to shout outside the door: "Lin Xi, Lin Xi!" ”
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, you have a nightmare."
Ye Miaosheng woke up from his dream in a daze, and found Xiao Sun lying beside him, ahhh ”
Ye Miaosheng looked at his surroundings, his shoes were under the bed, he had never gone out, and Xiao Sun had not become a monster, everything just now was his dream, he breathed a sigh of relief, and lay back on the bed, it turned out that he had fallen asleep in such a situation, and had a nightmare.
He touched his heart: "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't really meet Old Man Zhao." ”
"Are you talking about me?"
It was that faint voice again, Ye Miaosheng looked back, and saw that Xiao Sun had turned into the corpse of Old Man Zhao lying beside him, and his whole body suddenly stiffened, and his tongue for help had been cut off by fear, and he couldn't make any sound at all. He could only watch in horror, waiting for the darkness to swallow him.
"What should I do, my little uncle has been asleep for a day, why still not wakes up."
Zhao Xiaoyue looked at Ye Miaosheng who had been lying on the bed A with a crying voice, and Xiao Sun was also scratching his head helplessly, he obviously fell asleep with Ye Miaosheng last night, but when he woke up this morning, Ye Miaosheng was lying beside him with his eyes closed with a pale face, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he screamed.
At first, the two of them thought that Ye Miaosheng was snooze and teased them and refused to wake up, but then they didn't wait for a response to find out that the situation was wrong.
Lin Xi stepped forward to look at his eyeballs, then pointed his forehead with his index finger to check his body, and said to Zhao Xiaoyue: "He was trapped by his own dream." ”
"Trapped in your own dreams?" Zhao Xiaoyue and Xiaosun still don't understand, how can people be trapped by dreams, everyone can dream, but few people can't wake up.
"To put it simply, someone created a dream for him and let him fall into it."
Zhao Xiaoyue remembered that Old Man Zhao had nightmares before he died, and couldn't help but feel bad.
