Chapter 18: Bad News
I was so shocked that I couldn't speak, and I clutched at the snake's teeth, stupid.
Leaning slightly, I grabbed my sickle, jumped out of the pit, chose another field, and dug it indiscriminately.
After a while, my suspicion was confirmed, and about three feet away from the tooth, I dug out another fang, which was almost identical.
Standing on the top of the post between the two teeth, I looked left and right, and my face was colorless.
Now it can be concluded that it is indeed the tooth of a poisonous snake, and judging from the size and spacing of the teeth, the snake's bones are buried in the aconitum gang, which is almost the size of the whole gang!
In other words, Wutougang was originally a tomb - a tomb where snakes were buried!
And the tombs of the villagers of the past generations are actually attached to this unimaginable giant tomb.
This snake is so big that it is estimated that it can easily swallow an elephant when it is alive, it should be buried with its head turned upside down, its head is Wutougang, and the snake's body is in the ......
My gaze swept over the Aconitum Gang until I saw the village of Aconitus.
According to the proportional analysis, if its body is facing that side, it is more than enough to extend to Aconitum Village!
"Blind, I'm afraid...... Find the well you said. "I sat down on the ground, my head in my hands, my heart beating like a drum.
The snake was buried with its head tilted up to the sky, its mouth wide open, its throat and body erected, was it a deep well?
After listening to my analysis, the blind man was also scared stupid.
A village where the living live, a mound where the dead are buried, between the two places there is the remains of a giant snake, and opposite feng shui bureaus are arranged at each end, one side is the lying Jiao, and the other is the Tengjiao.
"What's the explanation? Why? The blind man pounded his head and shook his head, lost his soul, all this was completely beyond his understanding.
"Are you still buried?" Jiang Xiaobai came over and asked cautiously.
I woke up to the fact that I still had business to do.
"Blind, can you still bury it here?" I asked in a trembling voice.
The blind man looked at me faintly, sighed deeply, and finally said with difficulty: "The eye of the Tengjiao Bureau is the place where the dragon's qi goes to the sky, buried here, the corpse will not rot for many years, such a place, do you say you can bury people?" ”
"That's okay?" I asked in a whisper.
The blind man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "The formation here is too large and complicated, unbelievable, I only know that it will not rot if it is buried, and as for what changes will occur, I don't know ......."
I slapped the earth hard, and I was worried, what should I do?
The three of us sat on the top of the post, clothed in moonlight, sitting stupidly, and no one spoke.
I sat down until about three o'clock in the morning, and finally I couldn't bear it anymore, and decided to bury it here according to the original plan, and if I delayed it any longer, it would be almost dawn. In my understanding, the so-called feng shui is a very slow thing, if there is really something abnormal in the future, it is not too late to choose a place and rebury the gold and bones.
Although the blind man Wang was worried, he couldn't say why, so he had to help with Jiang Xiaobai and widen the pit a little more.
I rearranged my mother's remains, and helped her straighten out her hair and place it in the coffin.
Now she is so graceful and beautiful, like a sleeping girl, my heart is broken when I see it. All the emotions that had accumulated over the past few days exploded at this moment, and I cried so much that I couldn't help myself.
Seeing each other is the secret of eternity, and this feeling is painful.
"The hour is not early, let the deceased rest in peace." The blind man came to persuade me to close the lid of the coffin.
Seeing that it was about to close, I panicked, pushed it away again, grabbed the coffin, looked at the face of the female corpse, my eyes blinked reluctantly, and tears welled up. I'm afraid that I won't even be able to remember my mother's appearance when I bury it......
I used to watch other people's funerals, crying so miserably when I was parting from life and death, I always thought it was pretending, and it really fell on me, so that I could feel the bitter reluctance.
I don't know how long I cried, my hair was dizzy, my body was weak, and I felt like I had collapsed.
Wang Blind Man and Jiang Xiaobai took this opportunity to finally work together to pull me apart, and the coffin lid was ruthlessly closed.
I had no strength left, so I could only watch the blind man smash the stove fire nail with the handle of his sickle, choking all at once.
Every time the blind man smashed it, he shouted, and the pig iron nails were smashed down one by one, "From now on, yin and yang will be separated forever." Since then, the Si people have been ancient. The soul returns to the western sky, the body returns to the loess, the filial son worships quickly, and the mother is no longer ......"
I knelt on the ground, knocked my head three times mechanically, and then looked, the coffin had been slowly lowered into the hole.
As if he was afraid that I would regret it, the blind man hurriedly climbed up and pushed down the first handful of soil, and the white cypress coffin was finally stained with mud.
I gradually calmed down and covered the soil silently.
An hour later, the grave was piled up one person high, and I patted the soil with my own hands, and there was a new grave on the aconitum gang, my mother's.
At this time, the east has appeared in the white belly of the fish, the sky is about to dawn, pack up the mood, we will go down the mountain.
I can't go home yet, and I still have one thing to do.
Last night, I saw that the dead Zhou Lao Wu had turned into a monster, and we had to go and investigate it while it was dawn.
Zhou Lao Wu and Lao Wu Aunt were buried together, the tomb was in the east of the gang, and when we arrived, the sun had already come out of the mountain. Under the rising sun, looking at the new tomb, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
The grave has been opened, revealing the coffin inside, and the coffin board has also been lifted aside, only the body of the fifth aunt is lying alone, and the body of her man Zhou Lao Wu is gone.
After two days of hard work, the new grave that had just been buried was actually ruined like this.
A strong smell of corpses wafted out, exposed to the air, and the body of the fifth aunt had begun to decompose. I held on to the coffin board and tried to close it again, but at that moment, the blind man stopped me.
"This grave ...... It was dug up from the outside! ”
The blind man exclaimed, I looked closely, and sure enough, it was so.
If the body in the coffin is pushed open from the inside, the coffin lid will inevitably crack, but now it is almost intact, and it is obviously pulled out with a tool.
Who did it?
"Tell me again, what was Zhou Lao Wu like last night?" The blind man thought of something and hurriedly asked.
I tried to remember that the light was too dim, and I was so nervous that I couldn't see very clearly, so I could only describe it as far as I knew.
When he heard the strange whistle Zhou Lao Wu turned around and left, the blind man Wang gasped and exclaimed: "Corpse! ”
According to him, the necro and the zombie are two different things. Zombies are completely unconscious, and only know how to follow the aura to fight the living, but the corpses still retain some thinking skills. Another difference is that in addition to being naturally formed, corpses can also be artificially made.
"You mean, someone picked up Zhou Lao Wu's body, turned him into a corpse, and then used a whistle to direct him to kill people?" I was shocked by the words of the blind man, who is so vicious that he does not even let go of the dead?
The blind man nodded, his face was indescribably ugly, "Those who can make out the corpses are all masters, but I didn't expect that there would be such a character in the small Aconitum Village." ”
I can't accept this inference, I grew up in Aconitum Village, and the people in the village are very good to me, they have been honest farmers for generations, I can't imagine that there will be such people.
Suddenly, I thought of something, and hurriedly urged: "Let's bury the fifth aunt again, and then go down, I have something for you to recognize." ”
At that moment, the two of us worked together to close the coffin, re-nail it, and then cover it with dirt.
hurriedly got off the Aconitum Gang, the sun had completely risen, and the earth was completely overcast. On the road, the car was still parked sideways, and the poor donkey fell to the ground, his body was mutilated, and a long cut had been made in his stomach, and his flesh was blurred.
Behind the board, I found what the little leopard had scratched off last night. It was a gray-white needle, about an inch long, with a bumpy surface and a little blood.
"What is this?" The blind man got closer and looked closer, dumbfounded.
He doesn't know as a professional, and I don't know either, so who should I ask now?
"That's right!" I remember, didn't a master come to the village yesterday? It is likely that it is still a Taoist friend invited by the Dragon and Tiger Little Heavenly Master, Wang Blind doesn't know this half bottle of vinegar, can he still not know?
"Don't look at it, let's take it and ask the Taoist leader, and by the way, ask him if he was invited by your master." I held out my hand to the needle.
At the moment when I was about to make contact, a small hand reached out from the side and waved me away, it was Jiang Xiaobai.
She looked at the needle, frowned slightly, looked solemn, and whispered: "This thing is of unknown origin, it looks like it is very evil, it is best not to touch it." ”
After speaking, she reached to her waist, touched the metal chain, twisted it lightly, and took off a few pieces.
Only then did I notice that the chain, which was like a fishing net, was originally made of countless pieces of metal strung like willow leaves, each of which could be removed separately.
Jiang Xiaobai twisted a few metal leaves in his hand, and in a blink of an eye, they were combined into a blooming metal flower, and when he covered the needle, the flower immediately closed into a flower bone, completely enveloping the needle.
We both looked stupid, this thing can be combined at will, it's so ingenious.
Originally, I thought that this thing was a popular decoration now, but I didn't expect it to have all kinds of wonderful uses.
Now that we're done here, it's time for us to go back. First, I had to meet the Taoist, and second, I had to explain to Aunt Yuhe that she had lent me a car, but the donkey died...... I'll have to compensate her.
As soon as I thought of this, there was a shout from the front, and when I looked up, more than a dozen villagers came over, led by Aunt Yuhe and Aunt Yue, and the group was in a hurry, looking anxious.
It seems that I didn't go back all night last night, and they were afraid that something would happen to me, so they came along the road as soon as it was dawn.
I can't help but be moved in my heart, the villagers of Wutou Village are really good.
Running all the way to us, Aunt Yuhe didn't look at the dead donkey, grabbed my arm, looked up and down, and only then breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that it was intact, and said: "But I'm in a hurry, it's okay for you to be fine, I haven't been able to sleep since the accident in the village last night, I'm afraid you'll ...... too."
Hearing this, I panicked and hurriedly asked, "What's going on in the village again?" ”
Aunt Yuhe shook her head with sadness on her face, "Last night, your sister-in-law Mai Xiang, you went crazy......"
