That Ge Hongchen is an elder, he talked about this, as a junior, what else can I say, and I didn't stop Guo Yaozu anymore, so I let him try to mess with the burial matters, while I watched from the sidelines.

I saw that Guo Yao's ancestor was shaking the human skin coffin, and then burned some yellow paper, and then read a paragraph, and then began to instruct people to prepare to move the human skin coffin into the tomb, I hurriedly said on the side, "Have you forgotten something?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, "Look at my memory, I actually forgot to tinker with the tomb." ”

After speaking, he put down his work, picked up some yellow paper, and walked towards the edge of the tomb.

I don't know what happened, that Guo Yaozu walked to the edge of the tomb and didn't move, I was curious, and hurriedly walked over, and looked, my mother, this tomb is not only water, but also made an iron shelf, which is a little bigger than a human skin coffin, if you guess correctly, then Ge Hongchen is planning to put the human skin coffin into the iron shelf.

This made me can't help but say a few more words, so I asked Ge Hongchen, "Chief Ge, I can understand these by putting water in the tomb and sealing the earth with cement, but I am afraid that the iron frame in the tomb is not good, you must know that the most taboo thing in the coffin is iron." ”

When Ge Hongchen heard me ask, he smiled and explained: "That's the case, Xiao Jiu, we have drenched it with chicken blood on this iron shelf, the purpose of which is to block the evil qi of the human skin coffin, you also know that this human skin coffin is very evil, if you don't take some measures, even if you bury the human skin coffin here, there will still be an accident." ”

I sighed, I wanted to refute a few words, but when I saw that Ge Hongchen's face was not right, I suppressed the doubts in my heart, so I didn't ask any more, but Guo Yaozu asked on the side, "Commissioner Ge, you keep making such an iron frame in the tomb, as if you are locking the dead in it." ”

As soon as these words came out, I listened to it, wanting to hear how Ge Hongchen explained, after all, Guo Fatzi said my heart, and I heard Ge Hongchen explain: "It is indeed to lock up the dead, and their heroic souls may only be able to stay in this human coffin, once they are released, the world will be chaotic." ”

"Why?" Guo Yaozu asked.

"Mr. Eighteen died too unjustly, probably during the Kangxi period, this person's skin coffin once made trouble, that time killed hundreds of people, to the Republic of China, a group of tomb robbers also once hit the attention of this person's skin coffin, the result is that no one lived for a month, so ah, this person's skin coffin is actually a scourge, who provokes who is unlucky."

As he spoke, Ge Hongchen sighed heavily and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, if it wasn't for the wrong things that my ancestors did back then, I wouldn't want to care about this matter in my heart, but now, as long as I am buried, this person's skin coffin will be buried for a long time." ”

Listening to his explanation, I broke out in a cold sweat behind my back, if there was no Ge Hongchen in the human skin coffin this time, we would definitely have an accident, for no other reason, just because all of us didn't understand the past of this human skin coffin, only Ge Hongchen understood.

At that moment, I thanked Ge Hongchen, and he seemed to hear what I meant, nodded, and didn't speak.

Subsequently, Guo Yaozu carried out some ceremonies, sprinkled grains and grains on the tomb, and then recited a long list of words, and finally ordered someone to slowly move the human skin coffin into the tomb.

After the human skin coffin was moved into the tomb, I found two old chickens and threw them in, and hung a few strings of plastic firecrackers on the side of the human skin coffin, while Guo Yaozu jumped into the tomb and got the two three or six feet on the human skin coffin out.

Some things are also very strange, as soon as Guo Yaozu got three or six feet, the temperature on the edge of the entire tomb dropped suddenly, and there was a faint layer of white mist covering the ground, which frightened Na Ge Hongchen and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, cover the soil." ”

After saying this, Ge Hongchen personally covered the mud, and urged Guo Yaozu a few more words, and the soil covering that originally took more than half a day was finished in half an hour.

When the soil was covered, all of us were tired, especially those soldier brothers, due to the previous coffin lifting and the covering soil just now, they all lay on the ground with pale faces, exhaling heavily, and Guo Yaozu was even more exaggerated, lying on the ground like a dead man.

Only You Tianming and Yang Dalong seemed very idle, which made me have an idea in my mind, that is, after the human skin coffin was put into the ground, it was necessary to burn a bonfire three feet in front of the grave, and its purpose was twofold, one was to let the deceased warm underground, and the other was to illuminate the deceased.

As soon as I told them about this idea, You Tianming immediately agreed, and led Yang Dalong to find firewood, while some of us sat on the ground in collapse.

After resting for about three minutes, Ge Hongchen walked to the side and sat down, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, yes, it is worthy of being a famous Eight Immortals in our south, and this sense of responsibility alone is enough to make most people stop." ”

I didn't understand what he meant, so I looked at him suspiciously, and then I heard him continue: "Generally, after the Eight Immortals bury the coffin in the ground, few people remember the need to light a pair of bonfires, only you, Chen Jiu, still remember this. ”

I smiled bitterly, as far as the eight immortals I know, I am definitely not the only one who will do this, just like Lao Wang, he will definitely light a pair of bonfires, and the tall guys, thin monkeys and others will do the same.

Just as we were chatting, You Tianming and Yang Dalong got a lot of firewood back, we lit the firewood with yellow paper, and put a roll of firecrackers on the grave, and the coffin was over.

According to my idea, I went back to the village directly, after all, Guo Yaozu and I had to go back to Hengyang tonight, but Ge Hongchen said that he couldn't just leave, and he still needed to make a formation at the grave.

I asked him what the formation was, and he said, Nine Palaces Flying Star Method.

Originally, I wanted to get involved, but Ge Hongchen said it again, saying that this thing involved his craftsmanship and couldn't let us be present to see it.

It made me almost swear, Made, it was he who kept us, and he was the one who didn't let us see it, didn't this tease us, so I asked him what he meant.

He smiled and said, "You can go, leave the little fat man behind." ”

As soon as I heard this, I understood that Ge Hongchen was moved by the idea of accepting Guo Yaozu as an apprentice, what else could I say, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, you guys are busy first, I'll go to the village and wait for you." ”

He nodded, beckoned to Guo Yaozu, and said some words to those soldier brothers, roughly asking those soldier brothers to greet us, so that we must wait until he returns to the village before leaving.

After greeting us a little later, Ge Hongchen stopped at us, meaning let's hurry up!

I didn't speak, I kept my head down, and walked towards the village, You Tianming and Yang Dalong followed behind me, and those soldiers followed behind Yang Dalong.

The human skin coffin that has been tinkering for so long has finally been done, and I don't know why, my heart is empty, mainly because the price of this human skin coffin is too great, first Chen Erbei's departure, and then Yang Dalong's family died, there are almost no people left, and then Chen Tiannan chose to commit suicide in order to save me.

Walking on the road, my heart was extremely heavy, I didn't speak, I looked up at the sky, the sunset in the west slowly disappeared into the foot of the mountain, a layer of darkness gradually climbed into the sky, the whole heaven and earth, there is a sense of indescribable heaviness.

"Brother Jiu, do you think of Brother Tiannan?" Seeing that my face was wrong, You Tianming walked to the side and walked side by side with me.

I turned my head to glance at him, but I didn't speak, but kept my head and walked on.

Suddenly, he grabbed me, knelt down in a daze, and said, "Brother Jiu, go back to Hengyang and take me one, I really want to do something for Brother Tiannan." ”

I stared at him for a long time, and I kept thinking that if Ge Hongchen accepted Guo Yaozu as an apprentice this time, it is estimated that Guo Yaozu would not be able to return to Hengyang, that is to say, I can only return to Hengyang this time, as for Yang Dalong, I didn't think that he would return to Hengyang with me, mainly because I feel that his mind is still on his leather business.

When I thought of this, I was a little moved, I was afraid that I would return to Hengyang alone, and if I encountered something, I didn't even have anyone to discuss things, so I said: "Okay!" ”

When You Tianming saw that I agreed, he didn't know if he was excited, or what was going on, he actually kowtowed to me, so frightened that I hurriedly helped him up, "What are you doing here!" ”

"Brother Jiu, I'm bitter in my heart!" He sighed and said in a deep voice.

How could I not understand the bitterness in her heart, it's just that Chen Tiannan's matter is an insurmountable gap for me, and I have more or less different opinions about You Tianming in my heart, and I didn't speak, so I kept my head and continued to walk forward.

When we returned to the village, it was already completely dark, and the soldiers arranged for some people to get us some food, and the dishes were quite hearty.

After I was full of wine and food, I waited for another half an hour, seeing that the time from the train was getting closer and closer, and Guo Yaozu and Ge Hongchen had no news at all, which made me feel like an ant on a hot pot, and I couldn't sit still.

It was about eight o'clock in the evening, and I couldn't wait any longer, so I discussed it with You Tianming, and roughly we went back to Hengyang first.

That You Tianming immediately agreed, saying that it would take more than half a day for the Nine Palaces Flying Star Law Light Array to be arranged, and if he wanted to wait for them to come back, it would be noon tomorrow at the earliest.

His words strengthened my heart to return to Hengyang immediately, mainly because I couldn't wait to avenge Chen Tiannan, and I didn't want to delay even a minute.

So, I found the leader of those soldiers' brothers and told him about it, but the man looked embarrassed and said that we should wait until Chief Ge came back anyway, otherwise, the hundred soldiers who had been discussed in advance would not return to Hengyang with us.

This puts me in a dilemma, if the 100 soldiers don't return to Hengyang with us, what will we take revenge, you must know that those 100 soldiers are the root of our revenge.

In desperation, I had to wait patiently.

That You Tianming should have seen that I was more anxious, and said to me, "Brother Jiu, I'll get them, you just need to prepare!" ”

With that, he put his arm around the man's shoulders and walked outside.

Looking at their backs, I don't know why, I felt that You Tianming should be able to handle this, so I didn't pay attention to it, so I sat back in the tent and waited quietly for You Tianming to come back.
