Text Chapter 121 Strange Things in the Early Morning
I was really surprised that the scroll in my hand was all red, and it was still slightly hot, almost to the point of being hot.
A month ago, I opened this bundle, but it was like a book from heaven to me. The full text is written in ancient Chinese, and although I know a few words, I am confused about what is described in it, and I can't understand it at all.
Mu Lao had told me before that it was still too early to cultivate this sigil in my current situation, so I kept it at the bottom of my backpack all the time, and even forgot about its existence for a long time.
But at this time, why did it make such a big difference?
I hurriedly closed the door and examined the scroll in my hand.
At this time, it is as irritable as a living creature, as if it has been stimulated by some outside world... Or a call.
Just as I was holding the scroll and spinning it left and right to check, the red glow of the scroll suddenly skyrocketed, emitting a terrifying heat.
I screamed, my right hand couldn't stand the burn, and my fingers suddenly let go.
Reel "Smack!" Rolled to the ground with a thud.
It seems to be just a coincidence, it spreads the paper directly as it rolls.
The dark black paper was tattered, full of spots eroded by time, and the font on it was so clear that it was almost bleeding.
At the same time, my brain went into a trance as if it had been hit hard, as if there were countless bees buzzing in my head, and my heart was beating violently.
I trembled at what I saw, and I was very uneasy, and I was vaguely aware of a terrible force wandering around my body, but my limbs were no longer obedient.
There seemed to be an extremely strange power in the scroll that hit the depths of my soul and caused a unique resonance in my body.
My brain became groggy, many stars twinkled in my eyes, and through the blurred vision, the red light of the scrolls on the ground became more and more vigorous, as if they were about to swallow me.
My heart was enveloped by inexplicable fear, and I instinctively wanted to cry out for help, but the Adam's apple only rolled a few times and didn't make a sound.
At this moment, I heard footsteps outside the door "Click, click...".
Someone's going into the house?! Oops, my door is unlocked, and my family will be horrified if they see what they see.
But now I was trembling, and my body felt like I had been put in a cast.
With a "squeak", the door opened, and with his right foot stepped forward, and into the room was an old man with gray hair.
It turned out to be the old monster disguised as my grandfather!
Knowing that he was not an idle person, he opened his lips to call for help from him.
His lips squirmed a few times, and he didn't shout the word "help", but with my terrified face, he must have understood what I meant.
When the old man entered the house, he saw me standing like a stake. He looked at me in disbelief, then fixed his gaze on the scroll on the ground.
His old face immediately swelled with horror.
At this point, I was powerless, and there was a mysterious force in the scroll that was robbing me of my life force bit by bit. I was physically and mentally exhausted, and I could fall to the ground at any moment.
The old man stood there with wide eyes, as if he didn't intend to bother me.
My heart became more and more anxious, and I looked at him suspiciously. Didn't he get me out of trouble at the behest of my grandfather? Why don't you save when you see death?!
The old man looked at the scroll, then at me, and muttered something in his mouth.
My brain was so chaotic that I couldn't hear what he was saying.
After a moment, he sighed softly, as if he understood something.
To my despair, he had no intention of saving me from the beginning to the end, and even stood at the door and did not come.
The old man shook his head, got up and walked out of the room under my eager gaze, and then closed the door with his hand.
With a muffled "bang", the spark in my heart was immediately extinguished, wasn't this old guy sent by my grandfather to help me? Why are you so ruthless to me!
Just as I was about to be swallowed by the red light, a crimson beam of light burrowed into my head, and my body trembled violently as if I had been subjected to an electric shock, and I fell to the bed at once.
I gasped for breath and found that my body was finally able to move, but it was exhausted, as if it had done a very strenuous exercise. Even his back was soaked with sweat.
This scroll is really evil, I don't know what secrets are hidden in it, and the pretender my grandfather's old fellow must know something. It's just that he and I have a word first, and we can't talk to each other to reveal our identities until I complete the conditions he gave, so if I ask him, with his stinky temper, not only will he not tell me the truth, but he may also disobey Grandpa's instructions in a fit of rage, and he won't even care about helping him get rid of the organization.
The old guy looked like he was ignoring it, so I had to keep it in my stomach and figure it out for myself.
Thinking of this, I gritted my teeth in annoyance, shook my confused head, and climbed down from the bed to pick up the scroll on the ground.
By this time, its light had faded, but the handwriting inside was a little clearer, as if someone had rewritten the text with blood.
I had a vague feeling that this scroll was a very dangerous but important thing, but there was nothing I could do with it for a while.
The text on it has a strong attraction to me, and I can't help but look at it twice, but no matter how strong the desire is in my heart, I still can't understand it.
It's a strange feeling, like a hungry and cold homeless man who sees a plate of delicious food, and he is already hungry and salivating, and he wants to hold the plate and eat it, but his mouth is sewn shut!
I was in such a situation, but there was a voice in my soul telling me that something that understood the mystery of the words on it was hidden somewhere, close to me, but I was aware of its presence.
I twisted my thigh so hard that the pain finally made me suppress my desire, and I quickly tucked the scroll into the bottom of my backpack.
After doing this, the desire in my heart finally stopped being rushed. I dragged my tired limbs out of the room, washed my face, and immediately undressed and went to bed when I returned.
The exhaustion of the day left my mind empty, and I didn't have the strength to think about anything else.
After a few moments of lying in bed, I fell asleep.
The dawn of the morning shone on my face, and I opened my eyes a little bit with a lot of weakness.
Strange to say, I don't know what happened this night, and I slept very tired
When I was cutting wheat in the crops in Muyang Village, I was not as tired as I am today.
It was as if I hadn't slept, but had run twenty miles at night.
I was holding the sheets with my hands, and as soon as I twisted my body, the joints of my right hand ached.
I sat up, and suddenly I smelled a foul smell on the tip of my nose, which had a fishy smell, like the smell of animal corpses, but it was clearly not the stench of not long after death. It's a faint smell of age...
Although the smell is intermittent, I can still follow the smell to find the source.
I immediately came to my senses and realized that something was wrongโthe source of the stench was close to me.
Looking at the bulging quilt beside me, I swallowed and spit, grabbed the quilt with my right hand and lifted it violently.
The sight on the bed immediately made me gasp!
A tattered face is facing me! The skin on his face had shrunk into a black rag, and his skull was so sore that he couldn't see what it looked like. It's just a dried corpse. Looking down the head, the charred skin clung to the bones, and even the ribs could be seen clearly.
That's when I realized... There was a rotting corpse lying next to me! And his swarthy eyes are staring at me!
I was so shocked that I quickly jumped out of bed.
When did he lie in my bed!? I can't believe I slept with a dried corpse all night! But before going to bed last night, I obviously didn't see anything.
As I thought about it, I felt a cramping pain in my brain, and I couldn't remember what had happened last night.
I calmed my nerves and mustered up the courage to look at the dried corpse.
The clothes on his body had been rotted into rags, and it was impossible to see what it had been before, and the extent of his body was estimated to be eighty or ninety years old, with gray-white bones exposed in some places, and the skin on his abdomen was shattered into patches of tissue paper.
His mouth opened slightly, revealing yellowish-white teeth, and judging by the sparseness of his teeth, he should have been an old man.
I noticed that he crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, as if he was pressing something...
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud noise from downstairs, as if my father and a few people were talking loudly.
I got dressed and hurried down the stairs, wondering what was going on.
The living room was already full of people, my father was standing in the center, and next to him were the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, the second uncle... I took a cursory look and saw that they were all close relatives in the family.
I heard them talking from a long distance.
The second uncle asked suspiciously: "Why did this happen to our Chen family?" โ
My father slapped the table and shouted, "Let me know which dog did it!" Don't break his dog's legs!"
The uncle glared and said, "Now we are looking for it from house to house in the village!" You can't spare him!"
"That's right! You must teach him a good lesson!"
I saw that they looked serious and annoyed, and spoke very loudly, as if they were discussing something important.
The second uncle noticed me when he looked up, so he showed a smile and greeted me: "Yo, why don't you say a word to the second uncle when Chen Yi comes back." When did you come back?"
I politely responded: "Hello second uncle, I only came back yesterday." โ
The other elders also greeted me more or less when they saw me, and I also exchanged a few words with them.
But their brows were still furrowed as they spoke, and their faces were gloomy and solemn.
When my father saw me coming, he said angrily, "What are you doing here?"
I scratched my head in embarrassment, "Did something happen?"
The second uncle patted me on the shoulder and said to my father, "He is also a member of the family, so it's good to let him know." โ
The uncle's face was pale, and the mustache at the corner of his mouth was very high, and he would pout his beard when he got angry, and I guessed that this matter must be very serious.
The uncle said: "This matter is too unfortunate and evil. It's not necessarily a good thing to know. โ
The more I listened, the more strange it became, and I noticed that their eyes were focused on the tablet on the west side of the living room, and I vaguely felt that this incident might be related to the ancestors of the Chen family.
I couldn't bear it anymore and asked softly, "Is there something happening on the ancestral grave?"
When the words landed, my father looked at my grandfather's tablet with a cold gaze, and said with a stiff face, "Your grandfather's corpse...... Let people dig it up!"
