Chapter 5: Imps
For a while, the whole sky darkened, and the funeral procession was chaotic, and there were a lot of panicked noises, but at the funeral, taboo people spoke only small exclamations.
I saw that although the mourners were a little panicked, it seemed that in addition to the wind, there was no danger, but the coffin bearers, I was very worried, through the gap in the crowd, I saw that the coffin bearer seemed to be frozen, and his feet could not be lifted, and it seemed that he was no longer a coffin of hundreds of catties, but a thousand catties of sarcophagus.
An Laodao hurriedly patted me on the shoulder and pointed to the coffin, and I saw that there was a red-clothed ghost with a blue face and fangs sitting on the coffin.
This red-clothed little ghost sat on top of the coffin, surrounded by a gust of cloudy wind, a strong wind, dust and fallen leaves flying everywhere, making the sky dark, at first glance it is not easy to provoke the master, obviously a terrible ghost, but if he continues to sit on it and falls to the ground, it will be troublesome.
Funeral customs are the most taboo in the coffin halfway, once the coffin, it will definitely attract lonely souls and wild ghosts, borrowing the corpse to return the soul, then the grandfather's body will not want to live in peace, even the soul may not be at peace, even reincarnation will be hindered!
I looked very anxious, and at this time, An Laodao threw me a comforting look, pointed to the bone sword in my hand, and seemed to say that hope is on my bone sword.
I knew the taboo of falling into the coffin halfway, and now that I had seen a ghost, I couldn't afford not to believe in the netherworld, so I took a deep breath to calm myself down, and began to recite the mantra taught to me by An Lao Taoist, and I don't know if I was worried about my grandfather's corpse, or for other reasons, as the incantation sounded in my mouth in a low voice, my mind really slowly calmed down.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a stream of heat in my body, pouring into the bone sword, and the runes on the bone sword lit up with a faint golden light.
The golden light seemed to sense something suddenly, and it shot out violently, shooting into the back of a villager, startling me, but fortunately, the faint golden light penetrated through the back of the villager and shot at the red-clothed imp.
The red-clothed imp seemed to be frightened, and jumped up from the coffin, turned his head and showed his hideous fangs at me, and seemed to be very annoyed that I intervened, and made me feel a drum in my heart, and saw that the red-clothed imp was gone, and the golden light also fluttered into the air, and did not hit the imp.
However, the imp disappeared, the yin wind dispersed, and the dust and fallen leaves fell back to the ground flutteringly, but the funeral procession was quite frightened, especially the coffin bearers, who felt that the weight on their shoulders was light, and they all accelerated their pace and rushed to the tomb in the back mountain, but fortunately, nothing abnormal happened, and the cypress coffin was safely put into the tomb.
That Qian Daochang also seemed to sense the abnormality just now, so he quickly performed the ritual, asked people to cover the coffin board of the tomb, buried it with sealed soil, and then, according to the funeral customs, let people cry. I saw that Qian Daochang's face was already ugly, I guess if it wasn't for my grandfather's funeral, I'm afraid that the ritual would have been completed a long time ago, and people wouldn't have come to cry and mourn at all!
The mourning woman didn't know if she was frightened, or if she was a crying connoisseur, she was really crying heartbreakingly and tear-jerking. I was in tears when I heard it.
The Qian Daoist only let the mourning woman cry for a few minutes, then completed the ritual, and hurriedly went down the back mountain with the villagers, and the parents were going to prepare the white mat after the funeral, and they also went down the mountain, and only An Laodao and I were still burning paper money in front of my grandfather's grave.
I said something in front of my grandfather's grave, so I walked down the mountain with An Laodao, and on the way, I asked An Laodao: "Is there really a ghost in this world?" ”
An Laodao smiled: "Didn't you see it just now?" ”
I didn't like this kind of dumb riddle and asked what the hell was going on? How did I suddenly see a ghost?
That An Lao Dao thought for a while, and then told me that it was related to the bone sword in my hand, but he didn't tell me the specific situation, just said that there was a power on the bone sword, because of my blood, the power awakened and entered my body, and it opened my left heavenly eye, and I can see ghosts and gods in the future.
I was surprised and delighted when I heard it, but I still wanted to ask what was going on with this bone sword? From An Laodao's performance, he obviously knows a lot about the bone sword.
It's a pity that when he heard my question, he didn't want to talk to me about it left and right, so he had to let him explain what had just happened? My grandfather's corpse has attracted so many lonely ghosts, even the little ghost in red?
An Lao Dao did not evade, and said: "Your grandfather was supposed to stop the coffin for seven days, but it was only for five days. Your grandfather used to go to the ground and was a captain who touched gold, and he was extremely yin. In less than seven days, before the yin qi of the corpse has been dissipated, the coffin is closed and the yin qi is gathered in the coffin, so the corpse is easy to attract ghosts. It seems that your grandfather should have made some arrangements during his lifetime, but something happened. If you want to know why, you have to ask your parents? ”
I thought to myself that this was the case, and then I returned to the old house with An Laodao.
At noon, the villagers and relatives were frightened to varying degrees, and I was dragged by my parents to toast to appease them and suppress the shock. After the meal, I was a little dizzy, but I was still thinking about things, so I dragged my father to the bedroom in the back room and asked my father, why did my grandfather be buried in less than seven days?
My father was full of helplessness, and he told me that all this was because the village chief's daughter was going to get married the day after tomorrow. It is said to be a good day and an auspicious day. This is a marriage date that has been set a long time ago, and it is not appropriate to change it, so the village chief came to persuade him, but according to his grandfather's deathbed instructions at that time, his father did not agree, and then, Qian Daochang, who presided over the ceremony, also came to convince his father, and said a word of Shinto. Dad has never been interested in the netherworld, and grandpa basically never taught Dad, so he listened to it in a daze, but he still didn't dare to take the netherworld as a deaf ear, so he had to grit his teeth and agree, but he didn't expect that there were so many accidents at the funeral, which frightened the whole village.
I was also a little annoyed when I heard it, that Village Chief Li knew that my grandfather was well versed in the things of the underworld, and in the village, he had a lot of fame, and he must have made arrangements for the afterlife, but he turned his face ruthlessly in the blink of an eye, which is really hateful!
I was young and vigorous, and I wanted to go to the village chief's house to evaluate the theory, but my father hurriedly pulled me and said, "Xiaoyang, don't do much." Isn't Grandpa buried? ”
I thought about it, I had to sigh, anyway, I have to go back to the county seat, forget it, don't worry about the village chief, but I didn't expect my father to tell me again that my grandfather told me on his deathbed, let me stay in the village, at least seven days, and do some things.
I was puzzled, but I nodded in agreement, and then my father told me that they were going to go back to the county this afternoon after dealing with grandpa's aftermath. I thought to myself that my parents were so anxious, it must have been my grandfather's instructions, and I didn't ask why?
I'm a little dizzy now, but thinking of what my grandfather ordered, it's really difficult for me to do, after thinking about it for a long time, my eyes lit up, and I walked out of the door, found An Laodao, and said a few words to him, he was willing to stay to help, and I was grateful to him.
An Laodao saw that I was walking a little off, and knew that he had drunk too much, so he asked me to rest first and talk about it at night.
I really couldn't bear it, so I went back to the back room, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep, when I woke up, I couldn't see the light in the gaps in the roof tiles, I took out my mobile phone and looked, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, I got up busily, went to the hall, looked around, didn't see An Laodao, I frowned a little, that old thing won't be shaking me, right?
