The corpse seemed to have just been fished out of the water, its face was hideous, its lips were turned out, its body was swelled more than that of ordinary people, and its skin was white, like a dead pig soaked in boiling water.

At first sight, Tong Xiaomeng covered her mouth and widened her eyes, but fortunately, she had a good quality in her heart and didn't scream.

The old water ghost looked at me and said, "You need to sleep in the same coffin with this dead corpse for the past two days, and use your life to affect his corpse's life, and when those female corpses in the river can't tell who is real and who is fake, you can basically save your little life." ”

Sleeping with dead bodies?

I smiled bitterly and asked, "What about Tong Xiaomeng, even if the female corpse doesn't look for me in the end, what if I find her?" ”

The old water ghost glanced at Tong Xiaomeng and said, "This female doll's anger dissipates much slower than yours, and when the matter on you is solved, her problem will be solved, and there is no need to work hard alone." ”

"And what do you need me to do during this time?" Tong Xiaomeng asked.

The old water ghost nodded, bent down and took out a black oil lamp from under the jade coffin, observed it for a moment, and handed it to Tong Xiaomeng's hand.

"You need to light this river lantern every night before the Bai family boy enters the coffin, and then put it back in its place, and protect it until the next day, when the rooster crows, or the black dog barks, and you can rest."

Seeing Tong Xiaomeng holding the lamp in his hand, his face was a little nervous, and the old water ghost smiled and said: "The river lantern opens the way, and the demons and evil in the water will naturally retreat, this is just an additional insurance for the Bai family boy to spend these six days, you don't have to be too nervous, there is an old man sitting in the yard, no one can enter this house." ”

Hearing the old man say this, Tong Xiaomeng's hanging hearts and I also relaxed a little. But also looking at the old man's age, he had to stay in the courtyard all night to protect the Dharma for us for six nights, and he couldn't help but be a little worried about his body.

The old man smiled and waved his hand when he heard this: "The king of the Yellow River said that he would wait until I was eighty years old to accept me to work for him in the Yellow River, and I was still eighteen years away, and I couldn't die." ”

After a few more instructions, the old man and I lifted the corpse on the ground and threw it into the coffin, and after the old man left, Tong Xiaomeng held the lamp in his hand, looked at me nervously and asked, "Do you want to rest now?" ”

I looked at the time, it was only nine o'clock in the evening, there was no entertainment in the countryside at night, and I slept a lot at this point, but I was used to staying up late, and I didn't feel sleepy, so I said to wait a little longer, and wait until ten o'clock to sleep, otherwise I don't know how long I have to stay up in the coffin to have sleep.

The two of them sat in the room, and for the first time in this environment, they calmly talked about some inconsequential things.

I could feel that Tong Xiaomeng was deliberately helping me relax and tell some anecdotes about the old professor who had traveled from south to north, but as she spoke, she herself felt bored, so she simply closed her mouth and stared at me motionless.

I was uncomfortable with her and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Aren't you afraid?" Tong Xiaomeng glanced at the jade coffin.

I sighed and said that it was impossible not to be afraid, not to mention that there are also sick people who go to the doctor now, and I don't know how the old water ghost works so far, but fortunately, I have the experience of being in the same coffin with the female corpse in Hezi Village before, and if I really want to say that I am afraid, I can raise some courage to face it.

Unconsciously, his hand subconsciously touched the blood jade on his chest.

The blood jade is still exuding a faint warmth, stimulating the nerves in the body, and keeping people's spirits in a relatively sober state, the red-robed female corpse left me this thing, so far I haven't been able to see anything famous, thinking of this, I can't help but pat my head, the matter of the red-robed female corpse, I forgot to tell the old water ghost.

But before leaving, the old water ghost had explained that after he left, no one could open this door except him, otherwise he would not be responsible for what he saw when he opened the door.

I thought about it for a while, but I still couldn't help it, some of the moods I usually deliberately cultivated were gone at this moment, and I shouted a few times at the door with my throat, and the night outside the door was quiet, and there was no response at all.

The old water ghost is gone?

I shook my head, trying to reject the idea, not to add too much burden to myself, and at this time, I looked at my watch, it was past ten o'clock, so I asked Tong Xiaomeng to light the river lamp and go to bed early.

Tong Xiaomeng took the lighter, her hand trembled a little, she tried a few times before lighting the fire, and then aimed the flame at the dark wick on the river lamp.

At the moment when the green flame rose, if I hadn't grabbed Tong Xiaomeng's wrist with my eyes, she would have thrown the river lantern on the ground.

Supporting Tong Xiaomeng, put the river lantern under the coffin, I told her not to be nervous, I am not nervous when I sleep in the coffin, if you are bored, you can play with your mobile phone, listen to songs or something.

Tong Xiaomeng nodded, let me be careful.

I don't know what she told me to be careful, but I was panicking.

When I carried the body into the coffin before, I felt that the temperature on the surface of this jade coffin was not the same as the temperature in the normal environment.

The whole coffin was like an ice cube, the surface was smooth and smooth, and the inside was cold, and I wondered if this was an improved, electrified ice coffin, and the moment I lay down, the bones all over my body were icy.

The male corpse placed in the coffin in advance, the body is soft, and the back is leaning up, just like pressing a ball of freshly dried cotton, but this feeling will not make people feel a little comfortable, but I don't dare to show anything, after all, there is a Tong Xiaomeng who is more nervous than me outside, and at this time a man has to look a little manly, although this fear has been deeply invaded into the bone marrow.

Lying in the jade coffin, looking at the dim light bulb above his head, and holding the blood jade in his chest in the palm of his hand, his anxious mood stabilized a little.

I never thought that I would be forced to this point, I thought that I would honestly run Lao Zhaitang to survive this, but I didn't expect that one day I would be entangled in this kind of thing, what went wrong.

When I was 7 years old, my father took me to the Great Compassion Monastery to find an old monk to tell my fortune, and the old monk said that I was a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and after the age of 30, I should be nosy, otherwise I could save others, but I couldn't take care of myself.

But I'm only 28 this year, could it be that my father falsely reported my age to me, and I can't report two years old?

In my thoughts, I once again thought of the old man who was holding his treasure.

The peaceful life began to change from the night he entered the door.

Strange toads, strange old books, and ghost market heads, thieves, and female corpses in Hezi Village, and now the Yellow River Niangniang......

He's like a fuse, igniting things that shouldn't have anything to do with me, and it's hard to get out.

While pondering, I heard Tong Xiaomeng call me in a whisper and asked me if I was asleep.

I was shocked and hurriedly said, "No, what's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I'll ask." She whispered.

I smiled reluctantly: "I'm not sleepy now, I'll tell me about you and Professor Gu's style collection again, I like to listen." ”

Listening to Tong Xiaomeng's whispering, I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up the next day, it was already dawn, Tong Xiaomeng fell asleep on the table and didn't wake up yet, the old water ghost filled a bowl of hot noodle soup and called me up first.

The two of them sat in the courtyard, eating hot steamed buns and noodle soup at the same time, the old water ghost smiled and asked me how I felt, and I replied that everything else was fine except for a little cold.

The old water ghost nodded: "This jade coffin is the treasure that once suppressed the Yellow River Corpse King, it can not only suppress the evil qi on the corpse king's body, but also eliminate the evil qi, which is of great benefit to the body and mind." ”

I poured porridge into my mouth and asked, "In that case, why can the Yellow River Corpse King still make trouble again and slaughter the people after he comes out of the coffin?" ”

The old water ghost sighed: "Someone did it intentionally, and the night the coffin was opened......"

As if sensing that he had said something he shouldn't have said, the old water ghost smiled, and didn't continue to extend the topic, I didn't care about these things now, so I turned back to the topic and asked: "Although I sleep in the jade coffin at night, but it's not the same outside during the day, won't those female corpses be found?" ”

The old water ghost smiled: "If these things dare to make trouble in the panic of the world, wouldn't the world have already been in chaos!" ”
