Chapter 8: The coffin falls to the ground
Uncle Chen's analysis is very reasonable. He continued, "It seems that someone is taking advantage of this opportunity to do things, and things are getting more and more troublesome in the village. I'm worried about ......" He didn't say what he said, but sighed slightly.
I was puzzled and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
Chen Bo asked, "Do you know why someone left five bloody handprints on the door of the spirit shed?" ”
I know a little bit about that. Because Liu Dehai's five sons are the most domineering, the red carp died at their hands, and the red carp will definitely find their heads first if they want to retaliate.
Chen Bo said, "This matter is not so simple. As far as I know, Liu Dehai's family, as well as his immediate relatives, ate a whole fish feast at his house that day. Why is everyone else okay? And what about his sons? ”
Uncle Chen's words stopped me. Chen Bo continued to ask, "Do you know how many stone pillars there are around the river eye? ”
Of course I know this, that Feng Shui bureau is called the Five Ghost Split Corps, and of course there are five stone pillars.
After Uncle Chen's reminder, I suddenly understood a little, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that this matter has something to do with the pattern of the five ghosts splitting the corpses?" ”
Uncle Chen nodded and said, "I hope I'm too worried." If that's the case, then it's a big deal. ”
Before I could speak, Uncle Chen said, "You should hurry up and sleep for a while." I have to go to bury Liu Yuanshuang tomorrow morning, I hope there will be no more accidents. ”
Actually, I'm more worried about the black carp in the river temple, and I'll know the outcome of the matter tomorrow morning.
After running around for most of the night, I was also sleepy and tired, and I fell asleep before I knew it.
It wasn't until it was already dawn that I woke up with a rustling sound.
Uncle Chen had already woken up, he got dressed, and said to me, "Let's go to the River Temple first." ”
As soon as we came out of the ruined temple, we met Liu Dehai and others.
Of course, they were also worried about the black carp. Uncle Chen asked briefly, "Nothing happened over there in the spirit shed, right?" ”
Liu Dehai looked like he was dozens of years old, and his spirit was very poor. He said weakly, "Nothing happened. ”
Uncle Chen was a little more relieved. A group of dozens of us had already arrived at the gate of the River Temple.
Everyone's hearts followed up with their throats, and the life and death of the black carp seemed to determine the survival of the villagers.
Although I was worried, no one dared to venture in, and still let me and Uncle Chen lead the way.
The temple door was tightly closed, as if no one had come in since we left. Although the light was bright outside, the inside of the river temple was still a little dim.
After pushing the door open, Uncle Chen did not go in, but stopped at the door, staring at the ground with a solemn face.
Only then did I see clearly that the ground was full of earthworm-like textures the thickness of little fingers. The textures stretched out like spider webs.
Uncle Chen said in a low voice, "Things are a little troublesome. ”
He told the group to wait for him outside, and he took out two sigils.
I kept one for myself, handed the other to me, and said, "Carry it in your arms." The evil qi in the temple is very heavy, and the talisman seal can help you resist the erosion of the evil qi. ”
I took the talisman and put it in my pocket, and then stepped into the river temple. Obviously, the evil texture extends from the bamboo basket.
Uncle Chen and I cautiously walked to the bamboo basket, and the fish bones turned black, as if they had been soaked in strong poison. It seems that the evil qi of the red carp has not been dissolved, but has become more intense.
The two of us walked around the bamboo basket and walked to the iron basin. The black carp was the key to deciding this.
I hurriedly glanced inside, and was immediately dumbfounded.
The body of the black carp had turned into a pile of minced meat, and only the black bone floated on the surface of the water.
Although he was mentally prepared, Uncle Chen's expression still became extremely solemn. "This matter has become out of control," he said in a deep voice. ”
I've never seen Uncle Chen so serious. I asked, "Is there no solution?" ”
Uncle Chen shook his head and didn't speak, and we came out of the temple.
It can be seen from Uncle Chen's face that things must not be going well. Liu Dehai asked, "Brother Chen, what to do with it?" ”
Chen Bo said, "Since you can't dissolve its evil energy, you can only find a way to suppress it." ”
Chen Bo asked people to dig a large pit more than one zhang deep in the northwest corner of the river temple, and then put the fish bones in it along with the bamboo basket.
Of course, this alone will not work, Chen Bo first asked people to sprinkle a layer of quicklime on the fish bones, and then took out all the things at the bottom of the box.
It was a soothing charm, and an ancient jade. These two things are very precious, Uncle Chen gritted his teeth and used them.
Because the red carp is so evil, ordinary things can't deter it at all. After pressing the two treasures on the fish bones, Chen Bocai ordered someone to fill in the soil.
Liu Dehai breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Brother Chen, will it be okay in this way?" ”
"It's hard to say, but I hope it's okay." By the way, haven't you found the whereabouts of Yuan Cai yet? ”
Liu Dehai shook his head and said, "I still don't see anyone alive or dead." ”
Chen Bo didn't continue to ask, but said to him, "Let's go back and deal with Yuanshuang's aftermath so that there won't be any more accidents." ”
Liu Dehai has been waiting for his words, although he has lost a son, of course he doesn't want other sons to have accidents.
Everyone went back to the mourning tent. Uncle Chen circled around the coffin, and when he saw that there was nothing unusual, the expression on his face became a little more relaxed.
Liu Dehai arranged all the manpower. Uncle Chen commanded, "Lift the coffin!" ”
Eight able-bodied young men lifted the coffin together.
Chen Bo walked at the front of the team, and almost all the hundreds of people in the village came, and the team walked towards the outside of the village.
The Liu family cemetery is on the hillside, and in the whole village, the feng shui of the Liu family's ancestral tomb is the best. No wonder for so many years, the Liu family has been smooth.
Although Liu Yuanshuang was never married, Liu Dehai still let him enter the ancestral grave and dug a grave pit for him at the edge of the cemetery.
Along the way, Uncle Chen walked very fast, and he was also afraid of extraneous branches. Liu Yuanshuang is like a god, the sooner he enters the ground, the better.
But things didn't go as smoothly as he thought.
The Liu family's cemetery is four or five miles away from the village, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, Chen Bo asked everyone to carry the coffin up in one go.
At this moment, a muffled thunder came, and the sky, which had just been sunny, suddenly became dark clouds.
The weather can change in the summer, but it's also going to change too fast!
Uncle Chen knew that the situation was not good, and instructed the person carrying the coffin, "No matter what, the coffin can't fall to the ground." Do you remember? ”
Of course, the person carrying the coffin knew the seriousness of this matter, and everyone agreed in unison.
As soon as their words fell, their vision became unusually dark, like a dark night, and they couldn't see their fingers.
At the same time, the torrential rain fell directly and landed on the coffin with a banging sound.
Uncle Chen asked everyone to stop where they were to take shelter from the rain. Because the rain came so quickly, no one prepared rain gear at all, so I could only stand there and get caught in the rain directly.
The summer rain comes and goes as fast as it comes. Everyone thought that the rain would soon pass.
But after waiting for more than ten minutes, the rain still has no intention of stopping. Everyone present was drenched in the rain like chickens in soup.
An exclamation suddenly sounded, followed by a muffled bang.
Without looking at it to know what was going on, Chen Bo said angrily, "Didn't you tell you to be careful?" How did the coffin fall to the ground? ”
Someone cried, "There was something slippery that crawled over my back. With a shake of my hand, the coffin fell to the ground! ”
