Chapter 17: The Secret of the Soul Undertaker
I quickly ran out of the small temple. As soon as I came to the second uncle's side, I saw that the altar used to place the idol was blown up by a mysterious force. I smashed it at the paper man!
"Second uncle!"
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but exclaim.
The second uncle reacted very quickly! Shouted: "Come here!" ”
Then, with a sudden increase in his hand, he actually pulled the paper figure up directly and flew straight towards us.
At the moment when the paper man just flew up, the altar smashed into the place where the paper man was standing just now. The strength was so great that even outside the small temple, I could feel the ground trembling slightly under my feet!
"Let's go!"
After the second uncle took the paper figure, he took us away without looking back.
And just like that, in our first battle with the small temple head-on, we won! Although somewhat thrilling. However, it was unscathed!
We didn't say anything all the way, and soon returned to Lao Li Tou and their house.
At this time, there was still a life-sustaining candle burning on Xiao Liuzi's head.
The second uncle didn't speak, and directly put the paper figure flat on the earthen kang, and let it and Xiao Liuzi lie side by side. Then, he extinguished the candle again.
I don't know why, when I see Xiao Liuzi lying there side by side with a paper figure about the same age as him, it always feels very weird!
The second uncle used a red thread to tie the middle finger of Xiao Liuzi's left hand to the left hand of the paper man. Then, recite the Tao Liuding Liujia, listen to my order, the order of the Taijun, the spirit and soul are one, together! “
As soon as he finished speaking, an even more strange scene appeared. I saw that the paper figure who was originally motionless suddenly turned over at this time and pressed directly on Xiao Liuzi's body. And Xiao Liuzi also opened his eyes suddenly, and then, frightened by this sudden sudden, he cried "wow". pushed the paper figure away and went directly into the arms of Old Man Li's daughter-in-law.
Seeing that Xiao Liuzi woke up, everyone breathed a sigh of relief!
The second uncle also began to pack up his things silently.
Old man Li's family thanked us for their kindness. The second uncle didn't say much.
That night, we went back to the old village chief's house. When he knew that Xiao Liuzi had been rescued by us, he was extremely happy. However, I know that he is happy that we really have the ability to deal with that little temple! In this way, we can save their village.
Eating the hot meal that the old village chief gave us, I took the blood money in my hand. After a closer look, I found that although the style of this copper coin is very similar to the Qianlong Tongbao in ancient times. However, the shape is much larger than that. Moreover, this blood money is not just a piece of blood red all over. What's more, what is engraved on the blood money is not "Qianlong Tongbao", but some dense words that I can't understand.
I couldn't help but ask the second uncle, "Second uncle, what is engraved on this blood money?" ”
The second uncle glanced at the blood money in my hand and said, "It's the Soul Burial Sutra!" This is something left over from our ancestors! ”
Although I don't understand what the Soul Burial Sutra is. However, I also know that even if I ask the second uncle, the second uncle will not answer me. He's a guy who only takes the initiative to tell you something when he's willing to say it!
I'll return that blood money to my second uncle. The second uncle didn't accept it. He said to me, "A long time ago, we Soul Burial Master had a total of thirteen blood coins. However, there were only four left in your grandfather's generation, and now they are all with me. I'll leave this blood money with you to protect yourself! When you truly become a Soul Undertaker, I'll give you the remaining three together. ”
Hearing this, I could only nod silently. However, the second uncle added: "If I really succeed, then you don't need these things." ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned! I couldn't help but ask him what that meant.
The second uncle sighed and said, "Actually, our soul burial master still has a secret that no one knows. ”
"Secret?"
As soon as he heard the gossip, Fat Qiao immediately leaned his head over.
After all, this thing has lived and died with us. The second uncle doesn't treat him as an outsider. So, he said slowly: "If you want to bury the soul, bury the person first!" This is one of the things that our soul undertaker has to do. Every soul undertaker would bury his loved ones alive with his own hands. But those who were buried alive were not necessarily willing!
Because they were buried alive, they were very angry! In addition, if he dies in place of the soul burial master, the anger on his body will increase exponentially. Therefore, their corpses will all be dead and immortal! In a certain year, it will be a scourge to one side! Your grandfather has been through too many things like this. So, he's ready to be the last soul undertaker! It is planned to send away all the ancestors who were buried alive. It's a pity that the power of one person is too small! In the end, he still didn't finish it.
Although as a father, he owes something! However, I have to admit that he is a good person! Since I am his son, it is my duty to fulfill his last wish! Be the last Soul Undertaker! Can you understand? ”
After listening to the second uncle's words, I nodded. Then, the second uncle changed his words and said, "Also, you should still remember the old man from twenty years ago that the village chief said before, right?" ”
I didn't understand why the second uncle suddenly asked this, but nodded indifferently, indicating that he remembered.
The second uncle spoke again: "Actually, that person is your grandfather!" ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but grow my mouth! I even couldn't believe the words of the second uncle.
The second uncle nodded and said, "You don't have to doubt it! That's your grandpa! I used to think that there was a mirror behind every house in the village to turn back the yang energy. Now it seems that I was wrong! That's a formation of your grandfather's cloth! It's to turn back the evil qi inside the small temple. If it weren't for your grandfather's approach, it is estimated that this village would have been left without a lifetime! ”
Hearing the words of the second uncle, I couldn't calm down for a long time! I couldn't have imagined that my skinny grandfather could have such a thorough ability!
Qiao Fat Man also kept shaking his head on the side, and said, "I didn't expect that there are so many things in your soul burial door!" However, since your old man has also been here, why don't you just solve the matter here? ”
Hearing this, I also turned my head to look at the second uncle with the same feeling.
The second uncle shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation. However, now that we're here, this has to be resolved! ”
"What are you going to do?" Fat Qiao asked.
The second uncle replied: "Since everything comes from that small temple. So, let's just leave it untouched! Let's solve the other problems in the village first! Tomorrow we will find a dead family that has not been buried. I'm here to see what happens! ”
After making up our minds, we simply cleaned up and went to sleep.
The next day, after we told the old village chief about the idea of burying the body, the old village chief agreed without hesitation. Then, he took us to Aunt Wang's house.
Aunt Wang is the same woman who held the wedding for her children before.
After the old village chief told us what we requested, Aunt Wang also readily agreed. After all, when the second uncle was exorcising evil spirits from his children before, they had all seen the second uncle's skills with their own eyes. In addition, last night, the second uncle went to a smaller temple to tie the paper man and save the little six sons, and the news also spread throughout the village. Now in the eyes of the people in the village, a few of us are simply living immortals!
What the gods said, they gladly accepted!
So, we got to work.
In the afternoon, we put the old man's body in the coffin. Then, they were carried to the cemetery at the back of the village.
This time, almost the entire village came to see the excitement. In this regard, the second uncle has no objection. Even if these people came, they didn't help much. However, it's still okay to add a little yang energy!
In this way, we buried the old man's coffin in the earth in full view of everyone.
Things went surprisingly well! There was no movement during the burial of the corpse.
The people of the village were very happy about this situation. After all, no one wants to live with a dead person for the rest of their lives, watching it rot!
And the hearts of the three of us are very uneasy! It always feels like this thing is going too well!
However, since this is the case, we can only go back to the village.
Soon after returning to the old village chief's house, a large number of villagers immediately ran over. There is only one main purpose, and that is to bury their bodies with us.
It took us a whole day just to deal with these villagers.
Looking at the darkening sky, we went to bed early. Originally, we were going to go to Aunt Wang's house to see the situation. However, in order to deal with those villagers, we have already worked hard, and we don't have that strength anymore!
Nothing to say all night!
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, there was a knock on the door of the old village chief's house.
The knock on the door was urgent, it should be something urgent!
The old village chief casually put on a piece of clothing and went to open the door.
As the door opened, we saw Aunt Wang's son standing outside trembling, stammering and speechless.
Seeing this situation, the second uncle knew that something was wrong! Hurriedly pulled him into the house and asked, "What's wrong?" What's going on? ”
Aunt Wang's son trembled for a long time, and then slowly told what happened.
It turned out that just last night when we were tired and fell asleep on the kang on the clay kang, a terrible thing happened to Aunt Wang and their family......
