Chapter 115: The Corpse Farm
The legend of the mother-in-law, I heard it since I was a child, my grandfather and grandmother often told me, saying that a long, long time ago, there was a mother-in-law sitting at the back door of her house eating white rice noodles (that is, glutinous rice fried and then ground into flour snacks), suddenly a door opened in the sky, it is said that the gate of heaven opened, what wish to make, the gods will help you realize, this mother-in-law also wants to say wishes, but she just stuffed a handful of white rice noodles in her mouth, she wants to spit out the white rice noodles and then speak, because the opening and closing of the gate of heaven is a matter of an instant, It's a shame to miss out.
Who knew that when this mother-in-law spit out white rice noodles, a gust of wind suddenly blew the white rice noodles all over her chin, and she wiped the white rice noodles with her hands.
By the time she wiped it clean, the gate of heaven had been closed.
The next day, she woke up from her bed and found that she had a long, long white beard.
It turned out that the gods in the sky thought that her mother-in-law's wish was to have a long beard, because she made a gesture of brushing her beard when the gate of heaven opened yesterday.
From then on, everyone called her Granny with a long beard.
After the long-bearded mother-in-law died, she was buried in the field of the back village, and everyone called that land the mother-in-law's land.
Mother-in-law's land is the ancestral tomb of the Bai family, where many ancestors of the Bai family are buried, and every year during the Qingming Festival, we will come here to worship our ancestors.
After talking for a while, the three of us were in a much better mood, so we slowly walked home.
On the way, he met Lingzheng and the tomb of King Ling.
Lingzheng called out to Grandma, then took me by the hand and said that she would take me for a walk, and Grandma readily agreed, and they went back first.
"Lingzheng, why is it so romantic all of a sudden?" My face is a little hot.
It's already dark, and there's no one around, what does Ling Zheng want to do?
Lingzheng gently stroked my hair: "First year, don't be afraid of what I want to say. ”
"Huh?" My nerves tensed, "Lingzheng, don't scare me!" "Ever since I saw Lingzheng dissecting my grandfather, I am now shocked by everything, as if my soul has been lost, and my courage is no longer as big as it used to be.
Lingzheng half-bent down and looked at me levelly: "On the first day of junior high school, my grandfather's cemetery was built in the corpse field. ”
"What?"
The place where the corpse is raised is the pulse of the ground, the coffin is just buried in the pulse of the ground, the body can not decay, the grave will grow bigger and bigger, one day the body will come to life, this is called the pulse of the living corpse.
But my grandfather has been burned to a handful of white ashes and buried in the corpse field, it should be fine, right?
I looked at Lingzheng in surprise, "Will the ashes live?" ”
Lingzheng shook his head: "This is the first time I've encountered this, and I'm just reminding you to be careful." ”
"Oh."
In the past, Lingzheng and I dealt with a few ghost cases of pulsed living corpses, that is, the previous people did not cremate, and directly put the corpse into a coffin and buried it in the corpse field. Now my grandfather is just a urn buried in the field of living corpses, what will happen?
The spirit was leading me into the grove.
This grove was taken care of by my grandfather when he was alive, and there are all kinds of trees in it, such as peach trees, pear trees, osmanthus trees, willow trees, and bamboo...... The varieties of the trees are very messy, but they are well planted.
Ling and I were walking side by side on a small dirt road in the woods, and the smell of dirt came from the air.
"Lingzheng." I shouted.
Lingzheng turned to look at me, his eyes shining: "Huh? ”
"You can only be my patron saint."
"Silly girl." Lingzheng touched my head, smiled indulgently, and his lips were crooked like a crescent moon in the sky.
I hugged Lingzheng's arm and rubbed my forehead against it.
Ling Zheng patted my hand and motioned for me to stand first, and after I stood up, Ling Zheng stepped aside, looked up in a daze, and I walked over and saw that it was a willow tree, and the willow branches were hanging low, like the hair of a beautiful girl.
"Lingzheng, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this tree? ”
"There's no problem with the tree, it's just that it's ......" Ling Zheng sighed slightly, and broke a few willow branches with his hands, "First year, just in case, I'm going to nail the veins of my grandfather's grave, will you blame me?" ”
"I ...... I do not know. ”
Although I am a yin girl, I have been exposed to ghosts that ordinary people have not been exposed to, but the world is big, the mystery of all things, and there are so many unknown things that I don't know, I am very afraid that my grandfather will be affected by the corpse, and when the time comes, he will become a ghost and come out to harm people, but I am afraid that after Lingzheng nails my grandfather's grave, my grandfather's soul will no longer be able to transcend.
Although the Yin Locking Array has been solved now, we still have to go to Yujiatangkou tomorrow to get my grandfather's soul back.
I hesitated and asked, "Lingzheng, now that the pulse is nailed, will my grandfather's soul have any effect?" ”
Lingzheng shook his head: "Half safe, half safe." ”
"Oh, then you let me think about it."
Half safe, half dangerous, Lingzheng means that he is not sure.
In my mind, Lingzheng is a fairy-like existence, and now I don't even know him, so what should I do?
If the grave is nailed, it may hurt my grandfather's soul; If the grave is not nailed, my grandfather may turn into a ghost to hurt innocent people. How should I make this decision?
I lowered my head and pondered for a while, held Lingzheng's hand, and looked up into his eyes: "Lingzheng, nail, I believe in you." ”
Lingzheng nodded lightly and handed me the willow branch, he broke a few more willow branches, then a few more peach branches, and then cut two bamboos with a knife. We returned to the mother-in-law's land, Lingzheng was heading, and I followed Lingzheng with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and my heart was mixed.
If my grandmother knew I was doing this, would she blame me?
We came to my grandfather's grave, and the new grave had just been erected, and a pile of soil was all new, and the tombstone was also the latest.
Ling Zheng first put the willow branch on his grandfather's tombstone, pinched a complicated trick with both hands, and recited words in his mouth: "Taibai three stars, protect your life, drive away evil spirits, calm your mind, the three souls are forever silent, and the seven spirits are eternal." ”
When I was reciting the mantra, I followed his instructions and used a knife to cut the peach branches into small sections, and then cut them into the shape of small nails, and made seven peach wood nails of about the same size, and then cut the green bamboo into three pieces, and then sharpened the bottom of it, and also made three green bamboo nails of the same size.
These peach wood nails and green bamboo nails are the best things to exorcise evil spirits and forbid souls.
Lingzheng walked slowly around his grandfather's grave while reading, walking seven times in the right direction and seven times in reverse, and then asked me for a peach wood nail and pressed it directly below the tombstone.
At the moment when he pressed it, a gust of wind rose on the surrounding flat ground.
The wind was so strong that it rolled up all the sand on the ground and swept it into my eyes, and I was in pain and hurriedly closed my eyes.
Lingzheng's voice drilled into my ears: "Yuan Shi'an Town, Pudu Ten Thousand Spirits, Land Gods, don't be alarmed!" ”
Gradually, the wind lessened.
I rubbed my eyes, opened them again, and suddenly saw a faint white light emitting from my grandfather's grave, and in the middle of the white light, there was a wisp of black smoke, which was slowly drifting upward, Lingzheng was holding the golden dragon pestle in his hand, and the black smoke slowly swam in the direction of the golden dragon pestle, floating into the golden dragon pestle, and was completely absorbed by the golden dragon pestle.
Lingzheng held the golden dragon pestle in one hand, flipped it twice in the air, then put the golden dragon pestle away and turned his head to look at me.
I was shocked.
The moment I saw Ling Zheng turn his head just now, a light flashed in his eyes, and that light seemed to be murderous, what was going on? Am I mistaken? Lingzheng helped his grandfather nail the pulse of the corpse ground, why did he have murderous intent?
It must have been that I was blinded by the sand and looked at the flowers.
"The first year of junior high school, what are you doing in a daze? Nail the green bamboo nail. ”
"Uh-oh."
I hurriedly came back to my senses, took a green bamboo nail from the ground, Jin Zheng walked to the ground, squatted down, put his index finger and middle finger together, made a sword finger shape, and drew a small circle on the ground: "First year, nail here." ”
"Hmm." I nailed the green bamboo nails into the ground.
Lingzheng stood up, walked four or five steps around the mound, and squatted down: "On the first day of junior high school, there will be another nail here." ”
"Okay." I nailed another green bamboo nail into the ground.
In this way, according to Lingzheng's instructions, I nailed three green bamboo nails and seven peach wood nails into the ground, just enclosing my grandfather's grave into a circle, locking the veins of the corpse raising place inside.
I walked up to Lingzheng: "Lingzheng, are you done?" Let's go back, I'm very uncomfortable. ”
Lingzheng half-hung his head, looking at his grandfather's grave in a daze, I pushed him: "Lingzheng? ”
"Huh?" Lingzheng finally came back to his senses, and his face returned to his previous indifference, "Well, it's done, let's go." ”
I nodded, my uneasiness becoming more and more apparent.
When I got home, I finished my shower and lay down in bed. Grandma still slept with me and Shen Yan, she said that her grandfather left suddenly, she couldn't sleep alone, Shen Yan put her head into her grandmother's arms, grandma touched Shen Yan's hair with her hand, and sighed slightly, I really couldn't help it, and told my grandmother about the pulse I had just nailed with Lingzheng, Shen Yan was shocked when she heard it, and yelled at me how could I nail my grandfather's grave? The seven peach wood nails and the three green bamboo nails nailed my grandfather's three souls and seven spirits, so that my grandfather would never be reincarnated.
I didn't argue with Shen Yan pointlessly, I just simply believed in Lingzheng, and he must have his reason for doing this.
Grandma didn't count me down, and kept looking at me quietly: "On the first day of junior high school, grandma believes in you." ”
"Grandma'......"
"When I took over the Yin Tang Entrance, the old immortal family told me that everything in heaven and earth, every grass and tree has a law and function, and your grandfather passed away, and he happened to be buried in the corpse field, which shows that all this is the will of heaven. Ay...... Providence is hard to disobey. ”
Shen Yan asked, "Grandma, what providence?" ”
Grandma pulled my left hand, palm up, and looked at my palm prints carefully: "You all know, the left hand is yin, the right hand is yang, the palm prints of the left hand are all born, our family is bitter at the beginning of the year, when I was born, there is no life pattern, I begged the old fairy family to renew the yang life of the first year for two years, and then the first day of the first year really couldn't survive, I went to ask the city god in person, the city god was kind-hearted, and added six years of life to the first year." ”
