Chapter 389: Illusion
The face of the corpse was exposed under the linen, and it was wrapped in another layer of oiled paper. The outline of the facial features comes out through the paper, and the concave and convex are revealed. I was able to tear the paper open and reveal the face inside.
It was an old man, with a lifelike face, a goatee on his chin, not like he was dead but as if he was asleep.
I recognized the old man at a glance as the man in the photo, and I remember that he was standing in front of the cabinet in the photo, looking ahead with a crutch. In retrospect, this photo has a lot of meaning, and it is likely that the old man is reminding something, because it is this kang that he is looking at.
I suddenly realized a very strange question, whether the old man took such a strange photo on his deathbed was making some kind of hint, implying that his body was hidden in the earthen kang.
If you think about it, it doesn't make sense, the old man was buried when he died, how did he know that his body would be hidden in the kang in the future? Could it be that all this in front of us has been arranged a long time ago?
I was thinking that I could untie the linen cloth and expose the upper body of the old man. He asked, "Is this your grandfather?" ”
Li Tao and Li Bugou had a look on their faces, and the two of them actually knelt on the kang and kowtowed three times to the old man's corpse.
When he stood up, Li Bugou said, "This is my grandfather." His tone was full of horror: "Why didn't his body decompose?" ”
Li Tao muttered: "It's been twenty years, and the corpse really hasn't rotten. ”
Able to pinch the old man's mouth with his hand, with a little force, his lips pinched, and everyone present clearly saw that in the old man's mouth, there were interlaced sharp teeth, which looked not human, but like some kind of dog.
Neng said: "Sure enough, it has become a corpse." This corpse is so angry that it must be burned as soon as possible. ”
We have no objection to this. Qingxiang stole into here just now, I don't know what I'm doing, I'm staring at it anyway.
Later, there will be changes, and this corpse will definitely not be kept.
Neng said: "First carry the body to the car outside." ”
He and I raised our feet, and the two brothers of the Li family raised their heads, lifted the corpse and walked out, and as soon as they got out of the house, the wind suddenly blew in the yard, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes, and the sand and rocks were flying. We had to put the body on the ground first, and the four of us waited for the wind to pass. Who knew that the wind was blowing stronger and stronger, the broken windows creaked, and the door panels hit each other.
You can sit cross-legged on the ground, place one hand on the corpse, and stand with one hand on your chest with the other, and close your eyes and recite the scriptures silently.
The wind was very strong, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky rumbled, and soon dark clouds were everywhere, and lightning and thunder roared. In the good daytime, it suddenly became cloudy, as if it was night, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
The sound of being able to hold the sutra is getting louder and louder, and it is not clear what the specific scriptures are, but it sounds like there are many people chanting the sutras at the same time, and the voices overlap and spread in the courtyard like waves.
The rain is pouring down, and we have been poured into soup. Li Tao put his hand on the pergola and wanted to say something to Nengzhi, but I hurriedly stopped him and signaled not to interrupt the monk's chanting. I took the two brothers back to the house and stood under the eaves and watched the rain.
The rain became heavier and heavier, almost a curtain of rain, smoke fell to the ground, and the monk and his corpse were hidden in the heavy rain, and they were almost out of sight.
At this time, the monk stood up and waved at us. We had to go back again, and the monk said, "Let's take the body back to the house first." ”
The four of us carried the body back to the original house, and it was strange to say that as soon as the body returned, the rain outside actually became lighter, the wind slowed down, the dark clouds slowly dispersed, and there were signs of clearing.
"How is it getting better?" Li Tao probed out to see: "It's weird." ”
Neng said: "Now that the weather is good, let's carry the body to the car again." ”
The four of us tossed and turned, carrying the corpse to the courtyard, who knew that suddenly the sky changed, the dark clouds regathered, the wind suddenly rose, and it began to rain again.
"Holy, what's going on?" Li Bugou was a little puzzled.
Neng Zhi suddenly asked: "Which of you has the phone number of the old secretary of the village committee." ”
Li Tao said: "I have, at that time, I needed to contact him to dig the grave, and I added phone calls to each other. ”
Neng Zhi said: "You call the old secretary and ask about the weather in the village." ”
Li Tao wondered, isn't it raining now?
Can be thoughtful: "Let's talk about it after the fight." ”
Li Tao called Secretary Wang of the village committee in front of us, it was a meal, and the secretary could be heard eating noodles on the phone, sucking and sucking. He had a very bad tone towards Li Tao and asked what he was doing.
Li Tao respectfully asked how the weather was in the village now.
Secretary Wang wondered: "You guys are already gone?" Ask what this is for. The sky is fine, the sun is about to set, and the sunset is out. ”
His voice was so loud that he could hear it through the microphone without having to speak hands-free, and the sky in front of us was dark clouds and heavy rain.
Li Tao's voice trembled: "You, you didn't lie to me." ”
Secretary Wang scolded: "Are you sick, if it weren't for the fact that you are the descendants of Ma Yezi, I would have beaten you up a long time ago." ”
Several of us looked at each other, and Li Tao asked tremblingly, "No, isn't it raining in the village?" ”
"Fuck off!" Secretary Wang scolded and detained the phone.
Li Bugou hugged his shoulders, it was raining and cold, and his body was shaking like a swing: "Why is it raining here for us?" ”
Nengzhi stretched out his hand, and the rain dripping from it quickly fell into his palm.
Looking at the monk's appearance, Li Bugou cautiously asked, "Master, what's going on?" ”
"What we see now may not be true. ”
Illusion? Several of us looked at each other.
Neng Zhi said: "It is very likely that it is caused by corpses. This corpse is very evil, so let's carry it to the house first. ”
We worked together to carry the body back into the house, and as soon as we returned, the sky immediately cleared and the sunset began to appear, and a beautiful cloud of fire burned.
Neng Zhi said: "Leave one to look at the corpse, and the other two go out with me." ”
Li Tao and Li Bugou didn't want to stay, so I had to say I watched. The monk took the two men out of the courtyard and went outside.
I was the only one in the room, and I didn't have so many scruples, so I asked Hu Zhenzhen in my heart: "Zhenzhen, can you see what's going on?" ”
Hu Zhenzhen said: "I am still shallow, I can barely see the fur, the yin aura of this corpse is very strong, the heavy rain just now is the illusion you saw, a bit like some spells of our Hu family." ”
She told me that after some big foxes become essences, they will extend a kind of talent Dao method called charm. It can make people smitten and even see the illusion they want to see. Legend has it that Su Daji of the Shang Dynasty was a fox spirit, and he used charm to kill the drunken dream of the king of Zhou.
It's understandable that the vixen has this means, why does a corpse have such a big ability?
I asked Hu Zhenzhen this question, and Hu Zhenzhen was very serious: "I really can't see it, this needs a sect that specializes in corpses to know what is going on." ”
I was about to tell her in detail that the monk Nengzhi came back with the Li brothers. Li Bugou's face was not good-looking: "We just went out to walk around the village and chatted with people. ”
"And then?" I asked.
Monk Nengzhi said: "Basically, one thing can be determined, the celestial changes we encounter should be illusions. He glanced at the corpse: "This corpse is evil, as long as we carry it outside, it will interfere with our thinking." ”
Li Tao was still a little unconvinced: "Otherwise, try again." ”
We carried the body out of the house again, and were about to enter the courtyard, when the sky was overcast, and sure enough, the weather changed suddenly, and the wind became stronger and stronger.
Li Tao smiled viciously: "It's really evil, I don't believe it, it's only far from the house to the car outside the courtyard, it's nothing more than wind and rain, I'll see what other moths can come out." ”
If you can hold it or not, look at me, I didn't speak. The four of us carried the old man's body in the heavy rain and wind, and went out of the gate, and when we got outside, we were all shocked. The rain was so heavy that the village road was full of flowing water, there was no one around, and the villagers disappeared without a trace.
Soaking wet, we braved the pouring rain to open the trunk and threw the bodies in. The four of us got into the car. Li Tao said proudly: "What illusions, they are all paper tigers." Cousin, you open the navigation and see where the nearest crematorium is. ”
Li Bugou started the car and ran out along the village road. There was really no one to see on the road, the doors and windows of every house were closed, the rain was pouring down, and the ground was full of running water, but fortunately we drove an off-road jeep, which played a very good performance in this terrible environment.
After a short time, I left the village, and the world outside was vast, and there was a lot of water everywhere, just like a flood.
None of the four of us spoke, and Li Bugou, who was driving, stared at the route on the navigation and drove out slowly. Li Bugou and Li Tao were looking at the road in front, and the monk was chanting with his eyes closed in the back seat, and I leaned against the car window and looked at the rain curtain outside, feeling uncomfortably depressed.
"That's not right." Li Bugou said, "Look out the window. ”
I opened the window of the car through a crack, and the heavy rain outside suddenly blew in, and I could barely see that the environment outside was very unfamiliar, as if I had walked into a mountain, with a bridge in front of me, and the river below was about to rise.
Li Bugou said: "Why didn't I remember that there was such a bridge when I came?" ”
"Whatever, let's talk about it, it's right to navigate." Li Tao said.
Li Bugou said: "Navigation is right, yes, but I always feel that something is wrong." ”
Li Tao urged him to drive, and Li Bugou had no choice but to start the car and cross the stone arch bridge. Suddenly, the monk opened his eyes and said, "You can't go to the bridge!" Come back! ”
