Chapter 2: The Devil Beheads Off
The reason why he didn't fall was because the knife got stuck in his neck, and then the handle of the knife hit the ground.
The smell of blood kept sticking into my nose and made me nauseous.
But I still stubbornly put a rope around the old executioner's shoulders and dragged his whole body out of the hall......
Before, I was afraid that the old executioner would die of illness, hang himself, or die in other ways, and after death, he would be deceived.
Now that he has cut off his neck, although his head has not fallen, almost half of his essence and blood have been lost, and it is already difficult to cheat the corpse.
If you don't stay overnight and bury in place, there won't be any major problems.
After pulling the body into the courtyard, I wanted to pull the cleaver off. But it was stuck in the bone so tightly that I couldn't pull it out, so I simply gave up.
After the corpse was laid flat, only the head of the knife was slightly higher, making the old executioner feel like a pillow, and everything else was fine.
Just in case, I threaded the rope through the old executioner's neck, around the shoulders, around the waist, and finally around the thigh joints.
After doing this, I nailed the mahogany nails directly to his wrists, ankles, knees, and other movable positions.
wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and the red mist in the courtyard had slowly dissipated.
I also heard someone shouting outside the courtyard: "Boss of the Guan family, the new eight immortals and the coffin have been taken!" ”
When I turned my head, sure enough, there were already more than a dozen people standing outside the courtyard, eight strong men, including the village chief and a few villagers.
Their eyes were a little frightened, and the village chief was also anxious.
I took a deep breath and shouted to carry the coffin in.
One of the men outside obviously changed his expression, and said in a trembling voice: "This is no joke, black rumbling, I think it's better to go to Xishangouzi to invite the old coffin back...... This Guan family boss, I'm afraid it can't be relied on......"
After I heard this, the anger in my heart came up, and I scolded: "When my grandfather comes back, the old executioner has already cheated the corpse, and if you don't have the guts, don't come to carry the coffin to be the eight immortals!" So as not to harm the village! ”
The village chief's face changed at that time, and he kicked this man in the leg, scolding and saying "Are you a little fucking seeded?" If you delay the burial of the old executioner, your wife and children will also finish the calf!
Several other people carried the coffin into the courtyard, and the man followed in with a panicked face.
When they walked in, it was obvious that they could see me, but none of them gathered around, but they fell the coffin to the ground with a bang.
I frowned, but I couldn't blame them for being afraid...... The suicide of the old executioner is indeed too scary......
Almost all of these eight men's faces turned pale.
I took a deep breath and took out the talisman paper, which was pasted on everyone's shoulder, and then my heart felt cold again.
The Eight Immortals are there, and they still need a dragon head to suppress the evil spirit of the old executioner, otherwise they will not be able to send it to the place, and they will fall into the coffin.
The first time I carried the coffin, I forgot to ask the village chief to prepare a rooster.
Looking up at the sky, the fog has slowly dissipated, and seeing that the moon is about to be revealed, I can't wait for the village chief to look for the rooster.
I also thought of an alternative method, this method, my grandfather told me, if it is not life and death, you must not use it......
Hardening his head and keeping his breathing calm, he first commanded the eight temporary Eight Immortals to open the lid of the coffin, and then lifted the old executioner's body through the coffin rope and put it into the coffin......
There were no flaws in the process, and there was no sign of corpse fraud. The coffin was covered, the coffin was sealed with iron nails, and finally I fetched a bucket of water directly from the well in the courtyard, mixed the lime, and smeared it on the coffin.
The village chief also walked into the courtyard slowly, he felt a little old tears, and his voice was trembling: "The boss of the Guan family, I really learned the skill, this yard was invisible when it was dark, and now I can see it again." ”
The villagers also followed, and the new eight immortals were also talking one after another, and none of them said that they should be fine.
But I know...... And that's just the beginning......
I walked to the coffin and stood still, glanced at the eight strong men, and said in a deep voice: "Each of the four stands on one foot, and the four are in the center, carrying the coffin on the shoulder!" ”
The eight of them immediately did as I said, finding their respective positions and standing up.
I took a handful of incense from the package and lit it.
The white smoke came up in small numbers, and my complexion changed slightly, as the smoke showed signs of spreading, and all of it drifted around......
And I didn't feel the slightest wind......
Holding back the uneasiness in my heart, I handed the incense to the village chief and told him to go ahead of us and plant all the incense on the side of the road.
The old village chief's face turned pale, nodded again and again, took the incense and walked outside the courtyard.
I also handed incense to a few other villagers who followed the village chief.
To my relief, they all prepared shovels and things to dig graves.
The reason why they were allowed to plant incense on the side of the road was because the old executioner was too heavy to kill, and he was afraid that other unjust ghosts and wild ghosts would come to him for trouble, so the incense could make the ghosts happy.
Looking back at the Eight Immortals, they all bent their bodies and carried the coffin on their shoulders.
I lowered my voice and let out a low roar: "Coffin!" ”
The eight of them exerted their strength together, and they even let out a muffled snort, but the coffin on the ground did not move at all.
I squinted my eyes slightly, and sure enough, there was no dragon head, so I couldn't lift the coffin.
Take a deep breath, bite the tip of your tongue and bite it hard.
The stinging pain in my heart made my eyes a little red, and I was in pain, so I pressed my hands on the coffin, jumped up, and got on the coffin.
Suddenly, the coffin rose upward, and the eight immortals all showed panic on their faces and stood unsteadily.
I spit the blood on the tip of my tongue in the palms of my hands, patted it on the head of the coffin, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "Stabilize the coffin and go to the back mountain." ”
With that, I sat cross-legged on top of the coffin and looked up at the sky.
The fog has become more and more thin......
The coffin was swaying and extremely unstable, and the eight immortals carried it out, and I tried my best to lift my breath and lighten my body.
Wisps of cool air crept up from under me, and after soaking into my body, it was as if it was about to completely occupy my body.
I bit the tip of my tongue again, and a mouthful of blood was in my mouth, and the sensation eased slightly.
Sitting upright, I wasn't talking...... Trying to stay calm is the only way to resist the yin energy......
This method is what grandpa said could not be used as a last resort.
Use yourself as a dragon head and go to the town coffin.
Yin Qi will enter the body, and at least three years of life will be lost, and there will be a serious illness...... But now I don't care about that much.
The coffin left the old executioner's house and was carried all the way towards the back mountain.
More than ten meters ahead, you can still see the old village chief who planted incense, as well as those villagers.
At first, the coffin was unstable and kept shaking, but now it is very stable.
I feel a little relieved that the fog in the sky has not dissipated, and it has become a little white on the horizon, and it will soon be dawn, and there will be no big mess......
Finally walked to the position of the back mountain.
This is the burial ground in the village, and from the foot of the mountain, there is a grave mound.
The village chief stopped and asked me where I started digging.
I frowned, and the blood in my mouth was almost swallowed.
Taking a breath, I said in a hoarse voice, "The old executioner is too angry, and he needs to be buried next to the old grave, and there should be no new grave." ”
The village chief patted his forehead and began to lead the way.
We walked around the back hill again, and when the coffin reached the west side of the back hill, the village chief stopped.
There is a clearing here, surrounded by mounds of graves, which have been overgrown with weeds, and it is clear that no one has worshipped for many years.
The village chief said that the graves here were all made when he was a child, and no one had worshiped them for decades, and the old executioner was buried here, and no one would make trouble.
I nodded and jumped off the coffin, but the Eight Immortals snorted, and the coffin fell directly to the ground......
Several people's expressions were panicked, and my complexion changed slightly, but then I calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Old executioner, you have killed countless sins in your life, if you don't go to the earth now, I'm afraid you won't almost go to the underworld again." ”
The moment the words fell, the ropes that tied the coffin suddenly broke together, and an extremely strange voice came from inside the coffin......
It's like someone with a knife is picking the edge of the coffin lid......
