Sheng Shiyao glanced at the coffin behind me, straightened up and drank softly: "Come out!" I paused, but obediently climbed up from the pit, but pointed to the bottom of the pit and said, "There is a coffin down there, I want to see ......"

"If you want to see it, you can come back in the evening," he cut me off, and after a pause, he said, "This place has been targeted, and there may be another person at any time, and anyone with a little brain knows that it is not advisable to stay for a long time." ”

I was speechless by him, and after returning with him to the stone chamber of the tree cave, I received astonishing news from him.

Zhang Liuye is dead.

The reason why he went for so long was because when he returned to the village in the dark, he found that the lights in front of the old house were bright, and a canopy had been erected in front of Zhang Liuye's house, and people were coming in and out. It was clear that something was wrong, and he didn't come closer, so he hid in the distance and watched quietly, and it didn't take long to realize what had happened. But he was not agitated and radical to take the risk of finding out the authenticity, because he found that among the busy people were hiding several people who had been angry before. Whether it's true or not, the other party obviously wants to use Zhang Liuye's death to lure us out.

From the words of the villagers walking around, I heard that Zhang Liuye suddenly died of a stroke at home yesterday afternoon, and was found by the woman, who had already held his breath and had been dead for a long time.

He wanted to investigate a little more, but when he saw those people sneakily walking up the ridge in front of the house with tools, he decided to follow and see what was going on. But seeing that those people actually went straight to the mound cemetery to dig a pit and dig a grave, it was obvious that the other party had moved his thoughts to the ancestral grave of the family, and the matter became serious and tricky. He said that I am afraid that the tree hole here is no longer safe, if you come to understand feng shui, you can find the dragon to see the clues, if you see the old tree hollow, the secret of the tree hole will be exposed.

How good is that? In case this stone chamber is discovered, the secret art on the wall is exposed, and as soon as I hesitate, I pull out the shadow moon and walk to the stone wall, no matter what, since my grandmother insists on not telling these secrets, I am obligated to keep them for her to the end.

Sheng Shiyao did not object to my approach, and allowed me to destroy the inscriptions on the wall. Although the stone walls were hard, Shadow Moon could easily peel off a layer of the surface, but the four walls were so large that by the time I was done with them, my hands were sore. Turning his head around, the originally dark stone wall had turned gray because it had been cut off a layer.

I pointed to the stone chips on the ground and asked, "What are we going to do with this?" ”

Because they are cut down in whole pieces, each piece naturally has words on it, and it is better to have a grinder and grind them into powder, then there is nothing to do. But where are I going to get a grinder now, will I use the Shadow Moon to smash it again? How long will it take? Sheng Shiyao still thought of a way to use the wooden box to carry these stone chips outside and throw them directly into the big river.

The big river leads to the canal, and the river is usually very fast, so I don't have to worry that someone will go to catch the rocks, or it won't be long before they will be washed away. But this is easier said than done, because the thief hole itself is narrow, and the angle is inclined to climb up, and bringing an extra box increases the difficulty.

It took a lot of twists and turns, and I was not at ease, so I moved the debris to a very far place before throwing it into the river, and it took two rounds to carry it before finally throwing away all the debris. Originally, it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, but the graves of the ancestors of the Cheng family on it had not yet been explored, and we did not come out of the tree hole until it was dark.

Sheng Shiyao looked around before walking with me to the grave, where the grave was still as it was, with the earth piled on top of each other and the empty coffin exposed. The two of them worked together to move the empty coffin on the upper floor aside, and then dug up the soil covering the coffin underneath, and before opening the coffin, I took a deep breath and secretly prayed to my ancestors, which was a last resort.

The lid of the coffin was lifted, and a smell of decay came to his face, although he had been mentally prepared, but when he saw the white bones, he couldn't help but tremble. Judging from the superficial phenomenon, there is nothing unusual, it is a skeleton that has been dead for an unknown number of years, if my grandmother is really 100 years old, then this skeleton must be at least 120 years old.

The flashlight took a look at the inside of the coffin, looking for any objects or traces that could prove which generation it was. Because I have never heard my grandmother mention the previous generation, I have no way of knowing who the name engraved on the tombstone is, and it is obvious that the tombstones of the two ancestors of the family were moved from the original ancestral cemetery together, not carved by the grandmother later.

In fact, the reason why I thought about opening the coffin was that the grave had been dug up and the coffin was found, and another reason was that I was curious about why my grandmother moved the ancestral grave here. If it weren't for Zhang Liuye saying that my grandmother was not from this Zhangjia Village, but she entered the village later, I would only have been in this village for generations, and it is normal for the ancestral grave to be in the cemetery. Under normal circumstances, unless it is rebuilt and groundbreaking, few people will move the ancestral grave, even if they move to other places, they are not likely to move the grave, and more often go back to sweep the grave once a year.

So I deduced that there must be something important about these two ancestral tombs that my grandmother had to move over together.

When the flashlight touched somewhere, I was stunned, gathered the light back, raised my eyes wide, and asked in shock: "Sheng Shiyao, look at what it is?" Sheng Shiyao stared at that place with his eyebrows in, silent, obviously he had already noticed.

Oh my God, along the edges and corners of the bottom of the coffin, there is a black python! Because it was dark, the color of the coffin was black lacquer, and this black python was very long, close to the edges and corners, if it weren't for the pattern on the snake that happened to shine on my flashlight, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found it.

The black python was motionless, and he didn't know whether it was dead or alive, and suddenly heard Sheng Shiyao say, "It's alive." ”

I couldn't help but be creepy when I heard this, and my intuition took a step back, even if the average python is non-venomous, but seeing such a big one, it is inevitable to be afraid. The lid of the coffin is so tightly sealed, how did this python get in? Could it be that the bottom of the coffin was rotten and pierced, and it burrowed into it and used the coffin as a nest?

But Sheng Shiyao said: "This coffin cannot rot, its material is pine, which is moisture-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and antiseptic materials have been painted around the coffin. His gaze turned to the grave next to him, "Open the other one as well." ”

After some twists and turns, when I opened the coffin next to me, my hands trembled in fright, and I took it off directly, but fortunately, Sheng Shiyao held it up and pushed the cover to the side. It's not that I'm timid, it's that whoever sees an oversized white python that stands up and spits a letter at you will give up to me with such an instinctive reaction. Needless to say, this white python must be alive, and our opening of the coffin obviously alarmed it.

"Sure enough." Sheng Shiyao muttered softly.

I approached him and asked, "What's going on?" ”

He narrowed his eyes and said four words in a deep voice: "Raise snakes with corpses." A chill hit my back, and I felt chills just by hearing the name, and I knew with my toes that it was not a normal thing. Forcibly holding back his fear, he stared at the white python and asked, "You mean that these two snakes were intentionally raised by my grandmother?" But there is no food inside, how can they survive? ”

"These two snakes survive by sucking corpse qi, and after death, the corpse decomposes into white bones, and the corpse qi is the heaviest in this process, which is enough to raise a small snake into a large snake. At the same time, the soul of the deceased will also transition to the snake little by little, which is actually a way of boarding with the snake as the host. ”

Host! I heard the term again, and I was just as terrified. In the original osmanthus incident, Osmanthus's mother wanted to use me as her daughter's dormitory, but she failed for various reasons. At present, Sheng Shiyao actually said that this snake is the body, and the residence is ...... Ancestors of a family? That's outrageous, isn't it? Intuition shook his head: "Impossible, who would lodge a human soul in a snake." ”

"From ancient times to the present, snakes have been called earth dragons, which are auspicious things. Legend has it that snakes and humans are the most psychic, raised with their own corpse energy, and then at the same time with soul energy, so that the two souls can become one. This kind of corpse snake breeding is a very ancient witchcraft, which comes from southern Xinjiang, which does not refer to the southern part of Xinjiang where we have been, but the areas of Yunnan and Guangxi. I believe that you should have heard of Yunnan Miaojiang Gu Technique, this kind of witchcraft is even earlier than that Gu Technique, if you want to trace the history, it is far away. It's inconvenient to talk to you more at this moment, and I'll explain it to you in detail when I have the opportunity, in short, from this point of view, it is not easy to start a family, and I have studied witchcraft very much. ”

I think I'm going to have to digest the information slowly, it's amazing. But what I don't understand is that what can be done if you use this witchcraft to raise snakes with corpses to successfully transform your soul's energy? Is it just to condense the soul?

Talking to Sheng Shiyao, he directly knocked on my head and said coldly: "Think about it yourself." ”

Holding the sore place, I said to myself, I want to think of it and ask you. The probe looked at the white snake inside the coffin, and when it saw that we had no intention of attacking, it had already shrunk back and coiled in the corners like the black snake next to it. It is rumored that the snake itself will not actively attack, and will only fight back when it senses a threat from the opponent. I don't know if these two snakes that condense the soul of the ancestors of the family will also understand people's spirituality.

Hey? Psychic? I know that the reason why my grandmother wants to move the ancestral grave thousands of miles here is because of this channel. Naturally, she is not the spirit of the snake, but the spirit of the two ancestors, and there must be some way to communicate with them. But the two ancestors have been dead for more than a hundred years, what can they do to help grandma? Could it be that grandma's breathing and pulse stopped before, but her heart was still there, not because Aunt Mei cast spells on her, but because she was protected by the spiritual power of the ancestors of the Cheng family?

I suddenly remembered the purple gold box, and in my dream I had heard my grandmother say that it was an ancestral heirloom, that is, these two ancestors must have known. So I took out the box I carried with me from my arms, and almost instantly, the white snake that was already lying down rose to the sky and flew towards me, Sheng Shiyao was quick and pulled me aside, avoiding the attack of the white snake.

I was stunned, I didn't expect this white snake to react so much to the purple gold box. No, there was a "snort" sound behind me, and I was about to turn back, when Sheng Shiyao lifted me up and turned over from the gap in the pile of soil next to me.

Gazing at it, the black python also swam up from the coffin!
