Chapter Seventy-Five: Presiding over the Ceremony
I froze in place, and my heart stirred, and I felt more and more that this matter had become not simple, and even the feeling that this Taoist priest gave me was extraordinary.
At least I don't think this Taoist priest is a charlatan with no skills.
The Taoist got out of bed and went out.
Qi Yao and I followed behind Dao Chang.
When the woman saw the Taoist chief coming out, she greeted her, and the Taoist chief bowed and said respectfully: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, poor Dao will go to the ancestral hall now." "
The woman then said, "Chief, remember to come back to my house at noon for dinner. I've got a vegan fast for you. "
The Taoist chief bowed and said yes, and then walked to the ancestral hall, but before he reached the ancestral hall, the village chief ran over halfway and said, "Wang Daochang, you go with me to see, there are dead people in the ancestral hall." "
Wang Daochang answered, and our group arrived at the ancestral hall.
The ancestral hall of our village is located at the entrance of the village, and the ancestral hall is usually used for weddings and funerals, and we went to the ancestral hall. At this time, many villagers had gathered there, and the entire ancestral hall was decorated and looked very festive.
It's just that the faces of the villagers have changed, and they are all discussing something, so they originally invited God into the village. It's a good thing.
But the effect of the good thing has not yet been revealed, but a person has died in the ancestral hall, which suddenly made the villagers anxious, this is not a trivial matter, and it also makes all the villagers have no foundation for a while.
Their eyes all looked towards the ancestral hall, and all of them became vigilant.
The village chief was very anxious, but Wang Daochang told the village chief not to panic.
Wang Daochang shouted to the village chief and walked to the ancestral hall, I also followed, and when I got to the ancestral hall, I saw a person hanged in the ancestral hall, I looked at the face of the hanged man, only glanced at it, my heartbeat stopped, I couldn't help but murmur, how is this possible.
Qi Yao asked me in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Qin Huai. "
I didn't tell Qi Yao the reason immediately, because I saw that it was no one else who was hanged in the ancestral hall, it was the woman I dreamed of last night.
At this time, her eyes were bleeding, and she died in the center of the ancestral hall, and in the center was the statue of the god, and the distance between the two was only three meters, which was really weird.
I couldn't help but gasp at this point, and it still feels like I'm in a dream, which is obviously impossible, but it happened.
The head of the village and the rest of the village are in charge. They all said: "On this kind of happy day, this kind of thing happened in the ancestral hall of the village, and this woman, we don't know at all, and she is not from our village, she hanged herself in our village for no reason, you say that this is not someone trying to frame our village?" "
This sentence was quickly recognized by the rest of the villagers.
These days have always been an eventful time for our village, and the statue of the god in the village was finally raised for money, but there was such a thing, can the people in the village not think that someone is framing?
What is even more unconvincing is that the dead people are not from our village.
It's ridiculous.
At this time, I felt that a cold sweat had soaked behind me, and the villagers were full of righteous indignation.
But after all, if they really want to touch the corpses of the dead, they are unwilling.
The village chief turned to Wang Daochang and said, "Wang Daochang, what should I do about this matter now?" "
Wang Daochang opened his mouth and said, "Let's put the corpse down first, and after putting it down, then the ceremony will be held normally." "
I looked at Wang Daochang in surprise, Wang Daochang is really persistent, now that there are dead people in the ancestral hall, he is still so persistent about holding a ceremony.
The villagers all muttered in their hearts, but everyone still had to believe what Wang Daochang said.
The village chief quickly arranged for someone to see the body and put it down, but everyone shirked themselves. For various reasons, if I didn't move the corpse, the village chief was angry, and my eyes were all focused on the corpse now, so I didn't notice what they were saying, but at this time, the village chief's eyes suddenly fell on me.
I noticed the village chief's gaze, and the village chief said to me: "Qin Huai, this beam is very high, we can't climb up, you are young and flexible, you climb up and give the corpse down, and we will take the cloth and continue it below." "
As soon as the village chief spoke, he asked the villagers to look for the white cloth, and the villagers were still willing to do such a thing as a white cloth.
Soon the white cloth was found.
The village chief said to me, "Qin Huai, go." "
I said directly to the village chief, "I'm not going." "
The village chief said, "Qin Huai, don't be afraid. It's broad daylight, the sky is blue, you see that there is still sunshine outside, not to mention that there are so many uncles and uncles here, don't be afraid. "
I said directly to the village chief, "I'm afraid. I can't go. "
Zhang Yiqing's words, can I disobey them? If I go back and disobey, I don't know what will happen.
At this time, I felt very mysterious in my heart, the person in my dream actually died, and he died in the ancestral hall, and he asked me to save him last night.
The village chief still told me to let me go.
I didn't delay, I grabbed Qi Yao and ran outside, I was very reluctant to go. They couldn't help me, I dragged Qi Yao and ran outside the ancestral hall, my mood was still disordered, and I didn't stabilize. Qi Yao sensed that my emotions would not be, so she asked me, "Qin Huai, are you okay?" "
I said to Qi Yao, "Don't worry, I'm fine." "
At this time, the villagers all came up to take a look, but no one did anything.
