Chapter 12: Temple Gods

At twelve o'clock at noon, I locked the door of the store and drove Chen Xi and Xiao Hei, aiming for my hometown in the countryside.

In fact, I am a little puzzled by my grandmother's actions, why do I have to wait until today?

used to say that it was Chen Xi's Sanqi, but Chen Xi's soul was scattered, and what was in her body was another person.

And the eldest grandfather and the second grandfather, what are they coming back for?

Kill me?

All the curses on my body have appeared, and there is no point in killing me.

Asking for three corpse incense?

It's also unlikely, as long as the materials are complete and you find a handmade incense artist, the three corpse incense can still be made.

Or is there another truth about the tomb robbery of grandpa back then?

I'm full of doubts now, and I can't wait to fly back.

At 10:00, the car stopped at the door of the old house.

The door was open, and the grandmother was lying on her back in a Taishi chair, holding a cigarette pouch and pot in her hand, and she was smoking without a mouthful.

"Ma'am!"

Walking up to my grandmother, I called out.

Grandma took a sip of the cigarette pouch pot, raised her eyes to look at the sky, and said, "The wind is blowing!" ”

After saying that, the grandmother got up and walked slowly into the house.

I hurriedly followed, and behind me was Chen Xi who was holding Xiao Hei.

Grandma walked straight into the offering room, came to the offering table, opened the drawer, took out two wooden figures, handed them over, and said: "Grandson, this is the cursed puppet of your eldest grandfather and second grandfather, you take it, if something is wrong in the future, you will prick a needle and curse these two bastards!" ”

I took the doll, the size of a palm, the carving was lifelike, with the birthday eight characters engraved on the back, and the red rope was wrapped around it.

The one that represents the grandfather, the face has been treated, and the patent leather is stacked layer by layer, and it looks very blurry.

The second grandfather's body has been treated, as if he is wearing three layers of clothes.

"Your grandfather, he thinks the most, and grandma still can't figure out how many cheeks he has put on his face, and he has sewn too many corpses over the years."

Grandma sighed, her thin fingers brushing over the puppet's face, and a trace of complicated emotions flashed in her eyes.

"Your second grandfather is a brute, with three sins on his back, he has lived for three lifetimes, how many layers of skin are on his body, grandma doesn't know, if you meet him in the future, don't leave your hands, curse him half to death first."

When it comes to the second grandfather, the grandmother's tone is calm.

I understood that Grandma was explaining what was going on, so I nodded and didn't say anything.

"There's something under the table, you can move it out yourself!" Grandma took another puff of her cigarette pouch and pointed to the offering table.

I lifted the curtain under the offering table, and what appeared in front of me was a wooden box half a meter high and about a meter wide.

Dragged out of the box, at the signal of my grandmother, I opened the box, and a faint scent of sandalwood came out, and inside was a dense incense box.

The incense boxes are large and small, the format is different, and some have words on them.

"This is the incense that your father and grandmother have saved over the years, seven kinds of good incense, eight kinds of evil incense, you take them all, and you can use them in the future." Grandma said as she tapped the box with a cigarette pouch and pot.

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect my grandmother to have this family.

"Also, you hold this notebook, and it is the back hand left by your grandmother, so you can use it in the future." Grandma took out a small yellow notebook from her cuff.

I took it and opened it and looked at it, and there were ten pages in total, each page with a person's name and contact address.

"Grandson, you remember, don't contact the people above until you have to." Grandma confessed in a hoarse voice.

"Hmm!" I put away the little notebook, even though I was used to seeing life and death, my nose was still a little sour.

"Xiaoxi, come here!"

Grandma beckoned to Chen Xi again, and Chen Xi walked over, lowering her eyebrows.

"Xiaoxi, grandma knows that you hate me, but grandma saved you after all, since you promised to be grandma's granddaughter-in-law and keep Xiaobei safe before the age of thirty, you have to do it." Grandma Tai took Chen Xi's hand very hard, with a hint of threat in her cloudy old eyes.

"Grandma, don't worry, our Hu family has always been good at talking, how can I forget your kindness?" Chen Xi smiled, but there was another meaning in her words.

I listened to it and felt a pang in my heart, the "Hu" family, which Hu family?

Is it Hu Huang, White Willow Gray, Hu in the Five Great Immortal Family?

If so, then the one who occupies Chen Xi's body is a fox spirit, listening to grandma's meaning, it is she who threatens to seek revenge, threatens this fox spirit, makes me a daughter-in-law, and protects my safety.

"Huh!"

Grandma smiled hoarsely, let go of the hand holding Chen Xi, and beckoned to Xiao Hei.

"Meow!"

Xiao Hei jumped into Grandma's arms, with a hint of anticipation in her coffee-colored pupils.

"Xiao Hei, didn't you promise to let me make a wish? I tell you now, I consider my grandson to be Lord. Grandma gently stroked Xiao Hei's head and said with a smile.

A flash of disappointment flashed in the little black eye, and finally turned to calm, nodded the cat's head, jumped from the arms of the grandmother, and came to my side.

I noticed that at the moment when Xiao Hei agreed, Chen Xi had a flash of scruples in her eyes, she was afraid of Xiao Hei.

"Okay, the main things are explained clearly, grandma is comfortable!"

Grandma took a deep breath of the cigarette pouch pot, spit out a puff of smoke rings, took my arm to the coffin, and said, "Grandma's time is running out, so I can talk to you well!" ”

"Hmm!"

Even though I already knew all this, I still felt bad when I could say it from my grandmother.

"You don't have to worry about grandma's funeral, someone carries grandma's coffin at night, you just look at it." Grandma lifted one leg, buried it in the coffin, and began to say her last words.

Grandma said that she has been a yin person for a long time, and in the past few years, she has been relying on Xiao Hei to borrow energy, and the reason why I waited until Chen Xi Sanqi came back was because she was not at home at all these days.

Where to go, Grandma didn't say, but the look of clarity in Chen Xi's eyes, I can see it very clearly, it should be inseparable from the Hu family.

"Your eldest grandfather and second grandfather came back this time, and they didn't have a good heart, but you don't have to worry too much, the woman on your back is even more powerful than I imagined, with her, you won't have a problem for a while." Grandma said.

"You mean, the curse is protecting me?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but interrupt my grandmother and asked.

"Almost!" Grandma nodded.

"Isn't she the source of the curse on our Gu family, how can she protect me?" I was amazed.

"Your life is hers, and she can only take it, not anyone." Grandma explained.

It's a very domineering explanation, but it reassures me.

"Grandson, you don't have to think about it, when the time comes, she will naturally come, and when the time comes, whether you live or die depends on your own creation." Grandma said.

"You don't have to think about anything else, the incense shop is open, the days are gone, and sometimes, it's useless to think too much." Grandma continued to nag.

I didn't interrupt again, my grandmother was already a little confused, a hammer in the east, a stick in the west, and wherever she thought about it, her voice gradually became smaller, and finally disappeared completely.

Grandma died.

I knelt in front of the coffin, kowtowed respectfully three times, closed the coffin lid, lit three candles in front of the coffin, and waited quietly.

At eight o'clock in the evening, according to my grandmother's instructions, I lit three incense sticks and inserted them in front of the gate, and then the three doors were opened, that is, the gate, the door of the house, and the door of the house, all three doors were opened.

After about five minutes, a crisp sound came from a distance, approaching the old house, and it sounded like a gong.

Soon, a procession came to the gate, walked straight into the old house, and walked towards the offering house.

I knelt in front of the coffin, a thumb-thick incense burned in front of me.

This incense is called sending god incense, the so-called invitation to God is easy to send God, this incense is to send God, the incense scripture says, send the gods, send the ghosts.

Whether it is true or false is unknown, but it is the grandmother who is going to be sent away today, and the team that picks her up.

The team that entered the old mansion was not human, and they were all dressed strangely, some of them looked like ancient officials.

After entering the house, they went straight to the coffin, and after lifting the coffin of the grandmother, the leader knocked the gong in his hand and raised his voice and said, "Please go home to the grandma in black!" ”

The words fell, and the procession began to march.

For us, they didn't seem to see us, and they didn't pay any attention to it.

When I heard the title of Grandma in Black, I was stunned, we used to have a temple here, and the temple was dedicated to Grandma in Black.

Looking at this meaning, my grandmother turned out to be a temple god, and I suddenly remembered what my grandmother said, she said that death is not the end, but only the beginning.
