Chapter 24: Nightmares (1)
"It's not me, don't look for me, it's not me!" Qiu Shenglin was suddenly frightened, but was blocked by Mingxu, "Master Qiu, don't be afraid!" Qiu Shenglin shouted with a crying voice, "Master save me, it was my father and my grandfather who dug up their bones back then, I was only a few years old at that time, even if I had the heart to dissuade me, I couldn't speak, why did they come to me!" ”
Mingxu sighed, "There is a debtor and a debtor, Master Qiu, when the Qiu Mansion was built, it was indeed the Qiu family who dug up their bones and abandoned them. And at the moment, it's also you who live here, enjoy it all, and it's not impossible for them to come to you. ”
Qiu Shenglin grabbed his hand in a frenzy and asked eagerly, "Then what can I do to calm their anger?" You see, here, here, and here, all, all! He squatted on the ground with his head in one hand, in front of many subordinates, Yao felt that it was inappropriate, and hurriedly helped him up with Qiu Yunqi left and right, and whispered, "Master, don't be like this, since the master is here, those ghosts will not dare to approach you!" ”
He peeked in, and sure enough, he saw that the ghosts were just wandering around, and they didn't dare to move forward, so he asked Ming Xu, "Master, what is this?" Mingxu opened his right hand, and there was some golden powder in the palm of his hand. He swung the gold dust at the ghosts that were about to move, and after a golden light, the ghosts scattered and fled, disappearing without a trace!
With a "plop", Qiu Shenglin actually knelt in front of Mingxu and begged, "Please have mercy on the master and give me some gold dust." Me, I can buy it, it doesn't matter how much it is! Mingxu shook his head with a wry smile, "Master Qiu, this thing is a symptom but not a cure, if you want them to really disappear, please find their bones and rebury them, and from now on the dust will return to dust!" ”
It's not that Qiu Shenglin doesn't want to do this, but as the years go by, no one can remember which of their bones is in the mass grave. Mingxu said, "Leave the search for the bones to me, and the results will be obtained within three days." In the past three days, Master Qiu will take the whole family to chant and pray in the Buddhist hall to pray for blessings, so as to calm the soul! In order to be able to live with peace of mind, Qiu Shenglin had nothing to disagree, he immediately turned around and said to the others, "Did you hear what the master said, you should go back and rest now, bathe in incense, don't be slow, and go to the Buddha Hall with me tomorrow!" ”
Others are just fine, Sai Hongchen was the first to be unhappy, "Master, this matter of chanting, let's invite the monks outside, I'm not in good health, and my knees hurt after kneeling for a long time." "She has been neglected these days, and she inevitably speaks with resentment.
Qiu Shenglin was even more angry, walked a few steps in front of her, slapped Sai Hongchen's face, pointed at her and scolded, "You heartless poisonous woman, don't you see those ghosts coming to harm me?" Is my life important, sir, or is your knee important? It's okay if you don't kneel, get out of the house for me now, and go back to your Bonus Pavilion! Don't think I don't know where you're from! ”
Sai Hongchen was shocked, Sai Wenchang was redeemed for her from Huahong Pavilion at the beginning. Knowing that her identity had been revealed, she was too frightened to say more, bowing her head and saying nothing. Yao sighed secretly, feeling that Qiu Shenglin was too anxious, and even said this matter without words, Sai Hongchen must be resentful in his heart, and Sai Wenchang will take precautions.
"The master is also for the sake of the whole family, and for this matter, Yunqi will stay for three more days." Yao said to Mingxu, "There is Master Lao tonight, I don't know where Chunxi ......" Mingxu said, "Miss Chunxi's wish has been fulfilled, and she has been reincarnated." If the lady can't bear it, she will do a ritual for her. ”
Yao nodded, "Master, since you have to do things for those dead souls, you don't have much spring joy." Qiu Shenglin was troubled in his heart, "Do whatever you say, I'm tired, go to your room to rest!" He raised his legs and left, and when he passed by Fang Qiao'er, Fang Qiao'er raised his head and called out pitifully, "Master! Although Qiu Shenglin couldn't bear it in her heart, as soon as she thought of Chunxi's head appearing on her bed, she was so bored that she didn't even say anything to comfort her, so she left.
Everyone went back to the room to rest, and Qiu Shenglin went to Yao's room and fell asleep. Yao knew that he couldn't sleep at all, so he lay down beside him after washing and whispered, "Master, are you still worried about this matter?" Qiu Shenglin turned over and took her into his arms, "Zhilan, do you know that when I saw those ghosts today, I was ashamed and scared. Growing up, I have never been so scared. ”
"Master, this matter is a confusion between Dad and Grandpa, and it has nothing to do with you, so those ghosts didn't hurt you, so you can be relieved!" Yao's relief did not make Qiu Shenglin untie the knot, "In the end, the evil that the Qiu family has done, I sincerely hope that the master can find their bones and let them rest in peace." ”
The two said a few words casually, and the sleepiness came up. Qiu Shenglin was uneasy in his heart, and he dreamed before he fell asleep. He dreamed that he was still a child standing by a clearing, watching his subordinates dig through the ground with spades and shovels, revealing the coffin inside.
The coffins had been decaying for years, and they cracked open at the slightest touch. The bones inside were no longer flesh and skin, and only the bones remained. Somehow, Qiu Shenglin could tell at a glance whether these white bones were male or female, and even vaguely saw their faces.
Fear spread from the limbs to the heart, and Qiu Shenglin felt that they were all staring at him with the black hole in the eyes of the skeleton, with bad intentions. He took two steps back in horror, but a cold, hard thing was attached to his back. Qiu Shenglin subconsciously turned around, and saw behind him, his father and grandfather were framed by several white skeletons, their eyes were empty, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.
"Dad, Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Qiu Shenglin heard his voice trembling, but his father and grandfather did not respond to him. Those white bones smelled on their bodies, and suddenly they all opened their mouths, revealing their white miserable teeth, and bit at the bodies of Daddy and Grandpa!
Qiu Shenglin screamed in fright, watching as pieces of flesh and skin were torn off his father and grandfather's bodies one after another, dripping with blood. They smirk at themselves as if they didn't know the pain, as if to say, "Don't be afraid, kid, they've eaten all of our flesh, and you'll be next!" ”
"Ahh Qiu Shenglin couldn't hold back any longer, screamed, and woke up sweating profusely, it was already bright outside.
Yao instructed Chaoyu to prepare breakfast in the courtyard, and when he heard the shout, he hurriedly walked in, "Master, are you awake?" Seeing the big beads of sweat on his forehead, Yao Shi understood that he had a nightmare, and he didn't say much, and asked, "Hongchen and Qiao'er are here, saying that they want to have breakfast with us and go to the Buddha Hall, I'll wait for you to get up!" ”
