Chapter 22: The Yin Village and the Forbidden Land
The talisman that Uncle Li sketched out with sawdust was extremely complicated, and even so, it only took him seven or eight seconds, which showed that he was extremely proficient.
At this time, I had already made up my mind and was ready to tell him everything we found, including the second uncle. Otherwise, with me and Li Lin, we won't be able to do much.
Just like the coffin on the second floor of Xie Guangcai's house, if it was Uncle Li, he would definitely know what was inside, what it was for, and he also had the ability to deal with it.
As for not telling the second uncle, the first is that he wants to capture the Liu family, and sometimes, he does the same thing as the Liu family, and the second is because of Chen Xue's words.
I don't think Chen Xue will treat me and Li Lin as fools, thinking that we have all chased us near the school, and I really can't recognize her.
I don't feel good when I doubt my second uncle, but now, I don't think he is as reliable as Uncle Li, and I want to know some things, and I can only inquire about it from Uncle Li.
At the same time as I secretly decided in my heart, three flames had popped out of my hand to the ground, and when I touched the lamp, the black sawdust was ignited in an instant like gunpowder.
Uncle Li pressed both hands towards the burning talisman at the same time, and when he lifted it, the scattered burning sawdust seemed to form a whole, and then his hand was lifted, and Uncle Li pushed forward, and the fire talisman flew out, and it grew bigger and bigger, and finally covered the entire mill.
The thing on the wall, knowing that there was no way to escape, pounced on the fire talisman and rushed straight at us.
But the moment it passed through the fire talisman it was ignited, and it had already been reduced to a pile of ashes before it reached the door. Scattered on the ground.
Uncle Li's burly body stood in front of us, and he didn't look back at me and Li Lin until the ashes fell, the corners of his mouth moved, but he didn't say anything. Just took the seven-star coffin from Li Lin's hand, turned around and walked to the stone mill, and picked up the green skin on the grinding plate.
Seeing that Uncle Li didn't speak, I didn't know how to ask, so I made my eyes encourage Li Lin to ask. Li Lin himself was also very curious, and at my instigation, he asked, "Daddy, what kind of skin is this?" ”
"Ghost skin!"
Uncle Li has more words than the second uncle, but he rarely participates in the affairs of the village. But as soon as he opened his mouth, I hurriedly asked, "Isn't the ghost invisible and untouchable?" How can there be skin? ”
"To be precise, they're called green ghosts, and they're things in the forbidden land behind the mass grave!"
Uncle Li basically he won't hide anything I ask, which strengthened my idea of telling him things, in fact, I don't say it, Li Lin's big mouth, maybe he will say it at any time.
Uncle Li continued: "The heavenly coffin is a forbidden place, and your daughter-in-law came out of the village, and the relationship between the forbidden land and the yin village is very delicate, coexisting with each other and suppressing each other. Now that the things in the forbidden land have escaped, whether it is artificial or the suppression is weakened, it proves that there is a problem in Yin Village, and the most fundamental reason for this is that there is a problem with the heavenly coffin, Ding Ning, you have to tell your second uncle about this! ”
As soon as I heard that there was something wrong with the red coffin, I became anxious and pulled Uncle Li to tell Chen Xue about it.
Uncle Li frowned slightly, and muttered, "It shouldn't be! ”
I saw that Uncle Li seemed to have thought of something, and was pondering, and told me about the corpse theft that happened at Liu Guozhu's house and the zombie raising at Xie Guangcai's house.
But after listening to all my words, Uncle Li, who was worried at the beginning, suddenly stood up and said, "Ding Ning, I can't control this matter!" ”
As soon as Uncle Li opened his mouth, I knew that the problem was serious. Busy said: "Uncle Li, Liu Guozhu and they all want to enter Yin Village, and they want to take the things inside, but my second uncle sits idly by, if you don't care, no one will be able to take care of it." ”
Originally, this kind of thing had little to do with me, but it was about the safety of my daughter-in-law, and I also had some pleading in my tone. Li Lin also spoke for me next to me and said, "Daddy, you can help Brother Ding Ning, okay?" ”
I said that Uncle Li was unmoved, but Li Lin spoke, and Uncle Li sighed and said: "The affairs in the village are too complicated, and those people's hearts are also very big, and I can't stop it with my strength alone." ”
The situation in the village is complicated, so complicated that I can't even figure it out. But when I asked what was going on, Uncle Li said the same thing as his daughter-in-law, saying that with my current strength, the more I know, the more dangerous it becomes.
At that time, I'm afraid it will not only be me, but also my parents.
When I heard that it would affect my parents, I didn't dare to ask. Uncle Li was silent for a moment and said, "I'll deal with the things in the Seven Star Coffin first, no matter who the Heavenly Coffin is in in their hands, the night after tomorrow, they will definitely make a move!" The two of you have been staring at Xie Guangcai for the past two days, but remember, don't go to the murderous coffin. ”
I was relieved to hear that Uncle Li was planning to intervene.
Uncle Li put the seven-star coffin on the stone mill, pressed the skin of the green ghost on it together with the wooden talisman, and then quickly pinched the trick in his hand, and the action was dazzling.
But I can still see that Uncle Li has compared a total of seven strange gestures. When the seventh gesture fell, seven dots suddenly lit up on the seven-star coffin that was pressed by the green ghost skin.
I didn't even look at it carefully, and the green ghost's skin burst into flames and was ignited. As soon as the skin of the green ghost was ignited, the seven-star coffin began to tremble, and it was the grimace inside that struggled.
The fire burned for about half a minute, and the Seven Star Coffin calmed down, and after the fire was extinguished, the skin of the green ghost no longer existed, not even a trace of ash was visible, and the talisman that Li Lin had attached to it was also intact.
"Yin Fire?" I asked, a little surprised.
Yang fire burns all things in the yang, and yin fire burns everything in the underworld. If it was a yang fire, the seven-star coffin would have been ignited a long time ago.
Uncle Li nodded, not denying it.
I frowned slightly, everyone in the village knew that Uncle Li knew some Taoism, and in addition to making coffins, he would also enthusiastically help people solve some things.
But in my cognition, people who know authentic Taoist talismans are all masculine and upright, how can they release yin fire?
Seeing that I was confused, Uncle Li explained: "Our Li family has been with the coffin for generations, focusing on yin cultivation, and you will understand in the future." Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight when you go back. The evening after tomorrow, you find an excuse to come to my house, so that your second uncle will not notice. ”
I nodded, and suddenly remembered a question, asking Uncle Li why he was so sure that he was the day after tomorrow.
Uncle Li said: "The day after tomorrow is just a cycle of thirty years, the Yin Village will manifest without the condensation of Yin Qi, and the rejection of the Yang Realm will be weakened, if the Heavenly Coffin enters the Yin Village, not only will your daughter-in-law be in trouble, but I am afraid that many people will die!" ”
Thirty-year cycle?
That is to say, thirty years ago, what happened to happen that everyone was avoiding?
I had a feeling that if I continued to ask, Uncle Li might tell me and Li Lin, but thinking of what he said to his daughter-in-law just now, I still couldn't help it.
Uncle Li handed the seven-star coffin to Li Lin, patted us on the head, and told us not to run around at night.
Now I don't dare to run around, whether it is Xie Guangcai or Liu Guozhu, the day after tomorrow is a rare opportunity for them. There's only a day and a half left, and as soon as I get out of the crowd, they'll strike at any moment.
Originally, I didn't plan to go back and wanted to sleep with Li Lin, but after I was separated from Uncle Li, I met the second uncle when I entered the village, and he dragged me home without saying anything.
As soon as I arrived at the old house, the second uncle found two hoes, handed one to me and said, "The red coffin is in Xie Guangcai's hands, he will definitely come to steal your grandfather's corpse tonight!" ”
I chuckled in my heart, did I misunderstand my second uncle, or was he also preparing for the day after tomorrow?
After all, if the heavenly coffin was in his hands, it would be impossible for the second uncle to catch my soul, and the grimace would become his only choice, and it was possible to use me as a laborer now.
As for Xie Guangcai, if the red coffin was in his hands, what happened in the mill was probably manipulated by him.
But I remember that Uncle Li said that only the Liu family and our family can enter the forbidden land, and the green ghost is a thing in the forbidden land......
I had a headache when I thought about it, but I never believed that my second uncle would harm me.
I feigned surprise and didn't ask anything. The second uncle never answered my questions, I didn't ask, and he wouldn't be suspicious.
By the time I got to the backyard and started digging up my grandfather's body, my heart had calmed down, no matter who it was, no matter what they were going to do. My daughter-in-law said that she would come back as long as I could find the red coffin.
I speculate that the red coffin should have been suppressed and banned, and when the red coffin appears, I don't have to care about anything, just break the seal on it.
I believe in the strength of my daughter-in-law, otherwise Zhang Shuang and Zhang Lang would not be so afraid of her.
After thinking about it, my heart was not disturbed, and I followed my second uncle, and dug up the bodies of my grandfather, Chen Blind, and Zhang Tiande in a short time.
Nearly half a year has passed, and the corpse is still not decomposed, except for the tattered clothes on the body, the corpse is still lifelike, exactly the same as when it was buried.
The second uncle asked me to set up a place to rest in the side room of the old house, and after I finished it, he carried the corpses back, lit the lamp, and asked me to go back to the hall and lock the door.
The moonlight outside was like water, the evening breeze was bleak, and it was unusually quiet.
I hadn't rested well for a few days, so I lay down at the door and watched for a while, and before I knew it, I fell asleep on the ground.
Around the wee hours of the morning, there was a noise in the yard, and I woke up and hurriedly got up and peeked out through the crack in the door.
I didn't see the second uncle, I guess he was still in the side room, but there were two more people in the courtyard, one of them was straight and straight, wearing a robe.
The other man was hunched over and with the light on his back, and I couldn't see his face clearly, but there was a fireworks flashing in his hand, which should be the head of the cigarette pot.
It's Xie Guangcai, he's really here!
I was shocked, he came, and the person standing upright next to him was probably the old stiff in the coffin.
Can the second uncle fight the old stiff? I'm a little worried.
After a few flickering fireworks, Xie Guangcai said slowly: "Ding Shilong, I know that you also want to enter the forbidden land, the red coffin is now in my hands, let's calculate the account from nine years ago." ”
Nine years ago? How did you pull out what happened nine years ago?
I was a little confused, but when I thought of the seven corpses in the rotten paddy field, Uncle Li said that it was the work of the corpse keeper, and Xie Guang was the real corpse keeper, could it be related to that incident?
As soon as he thought of the corpse, the door of the side room suddenly opened, and the second uncle walked out of the side room, the oil lamp in his hand flickered, illuminating his indifferent face.
