Chapter 175: Midyear Festival
In fact, you have to invite a feng shui master to come to see the land, choose a good place for Tibetans, and you have to look at the date and time, not you can be buried at any time, and not everywhere can be Tibetan.
It's a pity that we don't understand anything, and this child hasn't been born yet, let alone has an heir or something, so just pick a random place.
"Master, are you running carriages like this?"
While I was digging the pit, I asked the coachman who was digging with me, and to be honest, we had known each other for so long and didn't even know his name.
"People call me Grimace, that's what you call me!"
Grimace, this title is very much in line with him, looking at his whole face is glued together, so terrifying that there is nothing to say, it is a grimace.
But I didn't make a grimace at him, after all, it was disrespectful to him, maybe this was a scar in his heart, how could I do something to expose someone's scar.
After the bottle was buried, I placed the fruit offerings and the like, and burned the incense wax paper candles for him.
But the grimace master knelt in front of the grave, and there he was silently muttering something, and I couldn't hear it clearly, and I didn't bother him.
Then I continued to hurry, and I also carried some food in the car, which I bought in the town, and I didn't know where the next town would be along the way, so I bought something delicious first, and I also avoided being hungry all day and adding another night like yesterday.
"There's also a small town in front of it, and it's very prosperous in the past, so why don't we go there for a night, we caught a car all night yesterday, and I'm really tired."
I was lying in the carriage with a grimace talking outside.
I think so, although I can sleep in the carriage at any time, and I am not very tired, but the grimace is different, not to mention that we were frightened enough last night, and I am afraid that few people can stand it like this.
"Then let's go stay for one night!"
I answered, grimacing, "Deler! Then he drove to the town.
When I entered the town, I didn't sit in the carriage, but got down and walked, and I have to say that there are more people in the town, as if today this is a downtown area, which is what we call a market, so there are so many people.
The streets are not wide, and there are many people, some of whom are monkeys and performers. There were also many people around, and from time to time there would be a burst of shouting.
Grimace was also curious about the acrobats over there, and wanted to go over and take a look, but this guy was leading the carriage and couldn't leave.
And his face looks more terrifying, and he doesn't wear a hat or something like that to cover it with a veil, for fear that it will scare people away.
He also knew this truth, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face from time to time.
Then we found an inn to stay, and the store didn't say anything to guests like Grimace, but in terms of enthusiasm, it was more than half.
"Shopkeeper, why are you so deserted here today? Just the two of us? ”
After eating, I was a little curious, we were staying in a big inn, but why was it just me and Grimface eating?
Except for the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper, we didn't see anyone else.
It's so quiet here, it's surprisingly quiet, and it sends chills down my spine.
"Today is the Midyear Festival, where are there still people coming out, I can tell you, don't go out for a while!"
The shop is writing and drawing at the counter, and I don't know what I'm writing, so isn't there no one coming to the store today? What else does he need?
"Why can't you go out? The moonlight is just right outside, and I'm still thinking about going out for a while to enjoy the moonlight beauty! ”
I didn't think much of it, I just said casually, and Grimace kicked me at this time, telling me not to talk more.
I also understood that there must be something strange about this, so I closed my mouth at the right time, hoping that the shopkeeper would explain it to me.
"When people die, their souls will not die, and they will come out to seek finances on the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, so yes, on this day, it is the day when ghosts haunt the most, usually that is to say, this day is a day of ghosts, people will burn incense to worship their ancestors on this day, burn money to worship, but also to seek peace."
Today's Midyear Festival? I've also heard of the Midyear Festival, and on this day before, I would also see my grandfather burning money to worship, but I didn't ask the reason, and my grandfather didn't tell me about it, so it turned out to be such a reason.
"Remember, don't come out late at night, so that you can fall asleep in your room, and don't look blindly, lest you see anything that will frighten you."
When we went upstairs, the store repeatedly told me and Grimace, and Grimace believed this, so he nodded vigorously.
But I don't care much, I haven't witnessed whether this thing is real or not, who knows?
And I even wonder if this store has done something shady, so I deliberately used the story of the Midyear Festival to scare us, and then took the opportunity to do his thing.
I didn't speak, and quietly returned to the room, anyway, I don't believe in this evil, and I have to look at it at night.
It was about the early hours of the morning, I shouted a grimace, this guy was probably tired from driving in the past two days, and slept like a dead pig, no matter how I shouted, I couldn't wake up, and when I fell asleep, I would make a few snoring sounds from time to time.
Giving him a disgusting look, I turned around and walked over, hesitating as soon as I opened the door.
What if what the store told me was true? What if there are really a lot of ghosts out there?
What if I get provoked?
After a few glances at the door, I stepped back to the window, a little scared and empty.
But I still couldn't help but be curious, wondering what this is, isn't it a ghost? I still have the spell mark given to me by Master Tranquility, and the ghost can't hurt me, I'm afraid of wool?
With such courage, I simply didn't go to the front door, and walked directly to the window, ready to jump down from the window.
But when I opened the window, I saw the most horrible scene I had ever seen in my life.
I've never seen so many ghosts.
On the street, there was a lot of people, but it wasn't a human, it was a ghost.
It's like people rushing to the market during the day, there are sneakers, there are vendors, shopkeepers, gambling, entertainers, everything.
Looking at the ghosts coming and going, I trembled all over, my whole body didn't seem to be under my control, and my legs were terrible.
Seeing that they hadn't noticed me, I was about to close the window, but before I could do anything, suddenly a hanged man suddenly turned to look at me.
His eyes widened, his whole face was dark, his eyes bulging outward, and his tongue was long. There was a piercing cooing sound when he looked at me.
I screamed in my heart, and took a step back to close the window, but the tongue of the hanged man moved instantly, as if trying to kill me, and jumped on the nearest beam.
His movement was not small, and other ghosts also discovered me at this time, including water ghosts, starving ghosts, in short, all the ghosts looked at me and then slowly got up, ready to pounce on me.
"Don't close the windows yet!"
At this moment a strong voice came from behind me, it was a grimace, and when he saw that I was stunned, he immediately stepped forward to close the window, and then pulled me back to the bed.
"You don't want to live anymore, do you? I don't want to die here with you! ”
The grimace gave me a blank look, and he blamed me angrily.
At this time, I was still hovering in my mind the terrifying appearance of the hanged ghost just now, and my heart was panicked, and I was in no mood to answer the grimace's words when I sat on the bed.
"Bang bang bang, bang bang ~~~"
It was at this time that there was a sudden knock on the door, no, it was the sound of a knock on the window.
I took one look, got up and prepared to open the window.
"Do you want to die?"
Before I could get to the window, Grimace scolded me and pulled me back.
"Somebody knocked on the window, I had to go and open it for him!"
With that, I turned around and tried to open the window.
"In the middle of the night, do you think someone will knock on your window? Don't say that there is no one at this time, but someone knocks on you, so do you dare to open it? A normal person would knock on your window? Even if someone knocks on the door, you won't dare to open the door, will you? ”
When I was grimaced, I woke up.
What happened to me just now, why did I suddenly want to open the window, could it be that I was fascinated by a ghost, and I fell into an evil spirit?
There were obviously ghosts on the street I saw just now, so many ghosts, and the hanged ghost jumped on the beam of the house to rush to me, and he must have knocked on the window outside.
I was dragged back to bed by grimace, and the window outside was knocked even harder, and I still heard some strange screams, I can't tell what kind of animal it was, but it sent chills down my spine to listen to.
"What are we going to do now?"
I looked at the grimace, I was afraid of the hanged ghost outside, and the other was afraid of the grimace, this person was so terrifying, staying with him, who was not empty in his heart?
I think I have to bear it to stay with such a horrible person as Grimace for so long.
And the two of us slept in a room, in a bed.
"What to do? The shopkeeper told you not to go out at night, you're good, now that you provoke these things, it's hard for us not to die tonight! ”
Grimace spoke calmly at this time, and his eyes began to roll when he spoke, which scared me into a tremble, if he wanted to harm me at this time, I was so frightened by him, I had already lost half of my three souls, and I had no power to fight back.
