Chapter IV: Mass Graves
Uncle touched my Tianling cover, said "Fortunately, I came back in time", and then asked my mother to bring a bowl and take out a bright yellow rune paper from her bag.
Ignite, burn.
After mixing it with boiling water, stir it like sesame paste and let me drink it.
I looked at the black bowl, hesitated, gritted my teeth, took the porcelain bowl and drank it sullenly.
After drinking the rune water, I quickly regained my strength.
The uncle turned back to my parents and said, "Tonight, I will take Fan Wazi to the mass grave in the back mountain to take refuge." β
The uncle's face was ugly when he spoke, and his parents' faces changed when they heard it.
My dad was even more shocked and said, "The back mountain is evil, boss, how can you ......?"
Uncle waved his hand: "Other than that, there is no other way." β
After speaking, the uncle's eyes looked at me, asking for my opinion.
Of course I want to recover as soon as possible, healthy and healthy, who wants this sick look, but why go to the back mountain?
I didn't ask, just nodded.
When my parents heard that they were going to the back mountain, they were all depressed, but when they saw that I agreed, they didn't say anything.
After dinner, Uncle took me to the mass grave.
But the strange thing is that in addition to bringing a bunch of fragrant wax paper money, the uncle also asked me and him to wear a yellow shroud with the character "10,000".
When we came to the mass grave, it was already dark, and the surrounding area was densely packed with graves, the graves were overgrown with weeds, and the blades of grass were swaying in the cold wind, as if countless hands were waving at us.
I was panicked and asked, "Uncle, what are you bringing me to the back mountain for?" β
Uncle smiled and said, "Xiaofan, your soul has fallen off, I brought you here to call your soul." β
"My soul was entangled by a female ghost and lost, can I get it back here?" I looked around.
Regarding the mass grave in the back mountain, it has been passed down in the village for several years. It is said that there was a natural disaster in the past six years, and many people starved to death in the village, and there was no place to bury them at that time, so they were collectively thrown in the back mountain.
I don't know how many people were buried, but since then, the people in the village have never dared to go to the back mountain. Because of the heavy yin qi, even in the middle of the scorching sun, you can still feel the coolness of the forest when you walk into the back mountain.
Uncle said: "The soul is out of the body, and the sex is like yin." This mass grave is extremely gloomy, and your lost soul must be here, maybe you're playing with a little ghost. β
I heard my uncle say that my soul was playing with a little ghost, and I couldn't help but shiver.
Uncle ignored me, only let me kneel on the ground and kowtow in all directions, and then asked me to light two white candles on the ground, while he sprinkled rice between the surrounding graves, and shouted while sprinkling rice: "Old and young masters, tonight borrow the treasure land to find people, and look at Haihan!" β
He sprinkled the rice for a while, and then asked me to burn the paper. As soon as I lit the paper money, a whirlwind blew over.
The lit paper money was blown all over the sky, and the blue flames kept beating in the air, as if there were countless hands vying for it.
When the uncle saw this scene, he was very satisfied and asked me to continue to burn it, and he was satisfied after burning it nine times in a row.
Finally, Uncle took out a piece of paper and pressed it on top of my head, and said to me: "Xiaofan, people are the grave of the soul, I will light the incense later, do you remember to shout the return of the soul, you know?" β
I was stunned and said, "What? Human souls? Grave? β
I was confused, but I was familiar with the phrase "the soul returns", and I had learned it in middle school Chinese textbooks.
Uncle explained: "The human body is just a container, which is dedicated to the soul of a person, and the function of a grave is to bury the dead, just a deposit, understand? β
Seeing my bewildered look, the uncle said: "Forget it, why should I tell you this, you just need to remember that when the time comes, you can call the soul back." β
I nodded, I don't understand what the uncle said, but I will still shout when this soul returns.
As he spoke, the uncle did not hesitate, and lit the red incense in his hand, and under the breeze, a large patch of smoke filled the mass grave.
The uncle turned around and said, "Fanwazi, there will be a yin wind later, remember to press the dark paper on the top of your head." β
I nodded again.
The uncle held the incense in his hand, bowed in all directions, and then began to mutter.
It's also evil to say, the uncle only read a few words, and suddenly there was a cold wind blowing on the mass grave, it was cold, the wind was not strong at first, but it gradually blew stronger, and I hurriedly covered the paper above my head.
The uncle shouted: "Xiao Fan, hurry up and shout for the return of the soul!" β
I quickly stared at the darkness around me, and I didn't dare to slack off, so I raised my voice and shouted, "The soul returnsβ"
"The Soul Returnsβ"
β¦β¦
I shouted a few words, and suddenly I felt that something was wrong, the yin wind that had been blowing vigorously suddenly stopped, and there was silence on the mass grave, only my shouts wafted in the air.
It was a permeating feeling, as if something had been disturbed by my shouting, lurking in the darkness, watching me.
Cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I looked at my uncle, but it was okay not to look at it, and I was startled when I saw it.
The uncle's face turned pale, and his eyes wandered around the mass grave uneasily.
I was about to ask Uncle if I still need to shout, but Uncle raised his hand suddenly, motioned for me to stop, and said to me: "Xiaofan, things are strange, stop." β
As he spoke, Uncle motioned for me to squat down.
Squatting in the grass, I was highly nervous, not understanding what Uncle was talking about "weird".
After a long while, I suddenly heard a resentful cry from the grave not far away: "Xianggongββ, Xianggongββγ β
Again and again, complaining and lingering, I am a spirit.
It's a female ghost!
She's here!
"Xianggong ......"
The female ghost was getting closer and closer, and my heart was beating in my chest.
Uncle whispered: "Don't make a sound, she will leave by herself." β
I covered my mouth so hard that I didn't dare to come out, and I looked through the gap in the dead grass and saw a slender black shadow appear on the edge of the mass grave.
"Xianggong, are you here?"
The female ghost approached, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, with a beautiful appearance, pink face and red lips, and a beautiful and incomprehensible thing.
Sure enough, it was her.
And at this moment, her eyes were on the grass where I was hiding.
My heart pounded, and I couldn't move.
After a while, the female ghost didn't hear the response, she was a little lost, she didn't shout, and left with a fluttering body.
My uncle and I were both relieved.
I was nervous and said, "Uncle, how did you find that female ghost?" β
The uncle's face was solemn, and he said, "It should be that you shouted when you shouted the soul just now, Xiaofan, stop this soul shouting ceremony first." β
I hummed and said, "Uncle, what are we going to do next?" I want to go home. β
Uncle shook his head and said, "No, Xiaofan, the female ghost will come to you when you get home, let's sleep in this mass grave tonight." β
When I heard that I was going to sleep in a mass grave, my face turned pale with fright, but my uncle smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have your uncle here." β
Next, Uncle told me to lie down on the meadow to rest, and he stood aside to guard me.
I was in a state of shock, but there was a person by my side, and I felt a lot more at ease, and before I knew it, I was really asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but I opened my eyes in a daze.
The first feeling is cold!
It's really cold!
I got goosebumps on my arms.
I folded my hands and turned over to continue sleeping, but at this moment of turning over, I suddenly felt that something was wrong:
- Uncle, Uncle seems to be gone......
I woke up suddenly, sleepless!
His eyes quickly turned left and right, and the surrounding fields were barren and grassy, but there was no human figure.
My scalp exploded, and a terrible thought came to mind: Uncle is gone!
I sat up from the meadow abruptly, and was about to shout, when suddenly a boo sounded from behind me: "Xiaofan, don't move." β
My uncle.
He was behind me.
I breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was there, but he told me not to move, what do you mean?
I didn't have time to think about it, just the shock just now, I was already drenched in cold sweat, and my clothes were wet.
After a while, I relieved myself and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong?" β
At this time, the uncle said in my ear: "Xiaofan, you look back." β
The uncle's tone was very cautious, and his tone was still trembling slightly, as if something had happened later.
I swallowed, turned my head boldly, and then I saw a scene that I will never forget in my life:
The mass grave behind us was densely packed with ghosts.
On the top of each grave stood one, old and young, male and female, all with pale faces, bulging eyes, black lips, and eyes staring straight at us.
And the moment I turned my head, they just looked at each other.
Suddenly, a creepy sensation rushed through my body like electricity, and every hair on my body stood on end.
The crotch is hot.
Completely stunned.
Until the uncle roared: "Run!" I reacted, and was grabbed by the hand, and ran towards the periphery of the mass grave like the wind.
But as soon as we left, the howl of ghosts and wolves sounded behind us, and it was so terrible that it resounded through the night sky.
There is no doubt that those ghosts are coming!
My legs were weak, and if I hadn't been pulled by Dabo, I would have been paralyzed to the ground in fright.
As I ran, I asked in a trembling voice, "Uncle, where are we going?" β
Uncle said: "There is a mountain temple on the back mountainside, ghosts dare not come in, let's go in and hide." β
When I heard that there was a place to hide, I was relieved and quickened my pace.
Although it was night, I knew the location of the mountain temple on weekdays, so after a while, my uncle and I ran to the gate of the mountain temple and got in.
My uncle and I hid under the base of the mountain god statue, and when I heard the ghosts crying and wolf howling outside, my heart couldn't help but pinch it, this mountain temple was in tatters, and I didn't know if it could be shocked.
Fortunately, after a while, the howling of ghosts outside was quiet.
I breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from my head, and said, "What the hell is going on?" Uncle, how could there be so many ghosts all of a sudden? β
