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.
Ning Yang saw that although the funeral people were a little panicked, it seemed that in addition to the wind, there was no danger, but it was the coffin bearers, Ning Yang was very worried, through the gap in the crowd, he saw that the coffin bearer seemed to be frozen, and his feet could not be lifted, and it seemed that it was no longer a coffin of hundreds of catties, but a thousand catties of sarcophagus.
An Laodao hurriedly patted Ning Yang on the shoulder and pointed to the coffin, and Ning Yang saw that there was a red-clothed ghost 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!
Ning Yang looked very anxious, and at this time, An Laodao gave Ning Yang a comforting look, and pointed to the bone sword in his hand, as if to say that hope is all on this bone sword.
Ning Yang knew the taboo of falling into the coffin halfway, and now that he had seen a ghost, he couldn't afford not to believe in the netherworld, so he hurriedly took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to recite the mantra of An Lao Taoism himself, and he didn't know whether he was worried about his grandfather's corpse, or other reasons, as the incantation sounded in his mouth, Ning Yang's mind really slowly calmed down.
At this time, Ning Yang suddenly sensed a stream of heat in his body, pouring into the bone sword, and the runes on the bone sword lit up with a faint golden light.
The runic golden light seemed to sense something suddenly, so it shot out violently, shooting into the back of a villager, startling Ning Yang, but fortunately, the faint golden light penetrated through the back of the villager and shot towards the red-clothed ghost.
The red-clothed imp seemed to be frightened, jumped up from the coffin suddenly, turned his head towards Ning Yang and showed his hideous fangs, and seemed to be very annoyed that he had intervened, and he saw that the red-clothed imp disappeared, and the golden light also fluttered into the air, not hitting the little ghost's body.
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.
Ning Yang saw that Qian Daochang's face was already ugly, it is estimated that if it weren't for his grandfather's funeral, he was afraid that he would have completed the ritual a long time ago, and he would not let people cry 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. Ning Yang was uncomfortable and wept when he heard it.
The head of the Qian Dao only let the mourning woman cry for a few minutes, and 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, only Ningyang and An Laodao were still burning paper money in front of their grandfather's grave.
Ning Yang said something too late to say in front of his grandfather's grave, so he walked down the mountain with An Laodao, and on the way, asked An Laodao: "Is there really a ghost in this world?" ”
An Laodao smiled: "Didn't you see it just now?" ”
Ning Yang didn't like this kind of dumb riddle very much, so he asked what the hell was going on? How could I suddenly see a ghost?
Na An Lao Dao thought for a moment before telling Ning Yang that it was related to the bone sword in his hand, but he didn't say the specific situation, just said that there was a force on the bone sword, because of his own blood, the power awakened and entered the body, so he opened his left heavenly eye, and he would be able to see ghosts and gods in the future.
Ning Yang was surprised and delighted when he heard it, but he still wanted to ask in detail 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 Ning Yang's question, he didn't want to talk to him about it left and right, so he had to let him explain what happened just now? Grandpa Ningyang's corpse has attracted so many lonely ghosts, even the little ghost in red has come?
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? ”
Ning Yang thought that this was the case, and then returned to the old mansion with An Laodao.
At noon, the villagers and relatives were frightened to varying degrees, and Ning Yang was pulled by his parents to toast to comfort them and suppress the shock. After the meal, Ning Yang was a little dizzy from drinking, but he was still thinking about things, so he pulled his father to the bedroom in the back room and asked his father, why was his grandfather buried in less than seven days?
The father's face was full of helplessness, and he said 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.
Ning Yang was a little annoyed when he heard this, that Village Chief Li knew that his grandfather was well versed in the underworld, and in the village, he had a lot of fame, and he must have made arrangements for what happened after his death, but he turned his face ruthlessly in a blink of an eye, it was really hateful!
Ningyang was a little young and vigorous, and he wanted to go to the village chief's house to evaluate the wine, but his father hurriedly said, "Xiaoyang, don't do much." Isn't Grandpa buried? ”
Ning Yang thought about it, and had to sigh, anyway, he was going back to the county seat, forget it, don't worry about the village chief, but he didn't expect his father to tell him again about his grandfather's dying instructions to him, let him stay in the village, at least seven days, and do some things.
Ning Yang was puzzled when he heard it, but he still nodded in agreement, and then, his father said that after they dealt with the aftermath of their grandfather, they planned to return to the county seat this afternoon. Ning Yang thought that his parents were so anxious, it must be his grandfather's instructions, and he didn't ask why?
Ning Yang is a little dizzy now, but thinking of what his grandfather ordered, it is really difficult to do, after thinking about it for a long time, his eyes lit up, he walked out of the door, found An Lao Dao, and said a few words to him, he was willing to stay and help, Ning Yang was grateful to him.
An Laodao saw that Ningyang was walking a little off, and knew that he had drunk too much, so he asked him to rest first and talk about it at night.
Ning Yang couldn't bear it anymore, so he went back to the back room, lay on the bed, and soon fell asleep, when he woke up, Ning Yang couldn't see the light in the gaps in the roof tiles, took out his mobile phone and looked, it was already more than eight o'clock in the evening, he got up busily, went to the hall, looked around, didn't see An Laodao, he frowned a little, that old thing wouldn't be shaking himself, right?
