Chapter 22: The Old Snake Haunts the Corpse
This is about the life and death of the second grandfather, and after hearing this, the uncle got up in a hurry, and called a few people in the village to leave with the guys.
Li Duangong knelt on the ground trembling, looking very scared.
The second grandfather suddenly said: "It was me who was fascinated by a ghost for a while, and fell for someone else's scheme." ”
"Didn't your son not believe that your body had been taken away? Are you giving up hope now? Yuan Zhen said in a mocking tone.
The second grandfather sighed, wearing the official uniform of the river god, he also seemed to be several years old in an instant, he said give up, I can't feel my physical body, I'm afraid that someone wants to take my physical body, and when I become a river god as a bargaining chip, threaten me.
Yuan Zhen said: "It seems that you are not completely old and confused. But it's too late to say anything. ”
"yes!" The second grandfather let out a long breath.
I couldn't help but ask Yuan Zhen: "Master, is my second grandfather really hopeless?" ”
Yuan Zhen shook his head and said: "If you do something wrong, you will have to pay the price, and the two fairest things in the world are birth and death." ”
What else did I want to say, but the second grandfather asked me not to say it, and said to me: "Xiaoyan, I'm leaving, if you see my brother when you go back, say sorry for me." ”
Anyway, the second grandfather is also my dearest, and I still feel a little sad in my heart.
At this moment, another gust of wind blew, and suddenly two people in official uniforms came, but these two people were dressed differently from the water ghosts.
They stepped forward and asked, where is Zhang Guoqing?
The second grandfather stood up directly.
"Come with us to the Netherworld." After speaking, the two ghosts came forward to hold the second grandfather, and disappeared into the night.
I looked at Yuan Zhen, and Yuan Zhen said, "The ghost who came to the underworld just now, your second grandfather was not drowned, so the river god is not qualified to manage the soul in the world." ”
After listening to Yuan Zhen's explanation, I understood.
I never saw my second grandfather again, I sighed.
Yuan Zhen said: "Actually, there is still a trace of connection between the underworld and the Dragon Palace, and you will know it later." ”
Li Duangong asked pitifully at this time: "What about me?" Senior, you will spare me, right? I just offended you by being blind to the dog's eye. As Li Duangong spoke, he kept kowtowing, and blood came out of his forehead.
Yuan Zhen glanced at me, and he could understand from his eyes that Yuan really let me decide.
Li Duangong didn't cause me any harm, and he helped me, I said to Li Duangong, forget it this time, you go back quickly.
Li Duangong was like being amnestied, and his mouth kept muttering, thank you to the river god, thank you to the river god.
But at this time, Yuan Zhen said again: "You help the abuse, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and you are not allowed to come out and pretend to be a ghost after punishment, otherwise the next time I meet it, the consequences will not be like this." ”
Li Duangong kowtowed and thanked him, and ran away in a gray manner.
The people in the village were still kneeling on the ground, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, so I asked them to hurry up, and then let them all disperse, and for a while, in front of the river temple, there were just a few of us.
A voice came from the river god Yinli again, saying: "Now I can't be the river god of the Yellow River, do the conditions you promised me still count?" ”
Yuan Zhen smiled and said to the river god seal: "You, this is the vision, the surging China, the rivers are crisscrossed, you want to be the river god, what you don't have in the future is a chance." ”
The river god Yin was silent and said: "It is true that China is beautiful, but there are also barren and fertile, since I can't be the river god of the Yellow River, then I will go to the richest place to be the river god in the future." What do you think? ”
Yuan Zhen hummed and said that there would be a long time in the future.
Yuan Zhen turned to me and said, "Zhang Yan, you are still a mortal now, and you can't go to the Yellow River to take up a post, so you need an agent." ”
I glanced at Yuan Zhen and said, who should be this agent?
Yuan Zhen said, you just choose an agent, there are so many water ghosts, you choose a reliable one.
The water ghosts are standing a few feet away from us, I looked, and finally my eyes fell on the little ghost holding the soul hook rope, I opened my mouth to ask what its name was, it said that its name was Yu Yue, I said to it, when I am not there in the future, things will be represented by you, if you abuse your private power, I will not spare you.
After hearing this, Yu Yue immediately knelt down and said that he would live up to my high expectations.
I then told them to go back first.
After a while, my uncle returned, and his face was pale and his eyes were blank, and he really looked like my master said.
When my uncle came, he asked me, "Xiaoyan, where is your second grandfather?" ”
I said that the second grandfather had already left and went down to the underworld.
Uncle stared at me and said, "Why didn't you keep him?" ”
I said to my uncle, I can't keep it, his soul is under the control of the underworld, I told my uncle not to be sad, life and death are rich and noble. After this series of events, the uncle also seemed to wake up, and after a while, he said, "Go back and continue to handle your second grandfather's funeral." ”
After the uncle finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Two days later, my second grandfather was buried, but because the body could not be found, he could only set up a clothed mound.
My brother-in-law's family also left the village that afternoon and returned to the city.
In the evening, I asked Yuan Zhen and said, "Master, Cao Jing was deposed so quickly, and we haven't found those two stunned people yet." ”
Yuan Zhen said: "It's because he didn't find it that he couldn't be a river god." ”
I am now more and more curious about Yuan Zhen's identity, and his ability is simply unfathomable. Yuan Zhen quickly said: "Zhang Yan, what kind of eyes are you using to look at you as a master and me." ”
I withdrew my gaze. said to Yuan Zhen: "Master, you haven't taught me a few tricks yet, why don't you teach me something?" ”
Yuan Zhen asked, "What do you want to learn?" ”
I thought about it and didn't come up with any specific skills, so I said I was going to learn the best. Yuan Zhen suddenly got up, looked out of the door, looked at it for a few seconds, and then said to me: "I'll leave first, there are some things to do, let's go back and talk about it." ”
After Yuan Zhen finished speaking, he walked out of the door.
I thought to myself if I didn't want to teach me, so I didn't want to teach. I asked Xiao Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, do you think the master thinks I'm stupid?" ”
Xiao Wanwan pulled her hair to the root behind her ears, her eyes were very gentle, and then she said lightly: "Diligence can make up for clumsiness." ”
I:...... I didn't say much either.
The next morning, someone came to the village to look for me, probably because my identity has changed, so the attitude of the people in the village towards me has changed a lot, after seeing me, they are all respectful, I told him not to be restrained, in the village, according to the seniority, he is also my uncle.
I asked him to sit down and talk about something slowly. I poured him water.
He said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that your aunt called back from the city and asked you to pick it up." ”
I answered, and he said to me, "My tricycle is out there, so come with me." ”
I said okay.
When I arrived in town, it was about nine o'clock in the morning, and it happened that today was the day of the market, so there were more people in the town, and we arrived at his shop, and he called the phone back again, and it didn't take long to connect.
Xiao Wanwan didn't know why, maybe she was a little scared when she saw a lot of people, and after she arrived in the town, she kept dragging the corner of my clothes.
Soon there was a voice from there, it was the voice of the aunt, I called the aunt and asked her if there was anything wrong?
The aunt said, "Xiaoyan, is your uncle still in the village?" When will he be back, you ask? ”
I was stunned for a few seconds, and I said to my aunt, "Didn't Uncle go back with you?" ”
The aunt said: "Originally, I went back together, but he went back halfway, saying that there were still some relics about your second grandfather that had not been dealt with, so he went back." You help your aunt ask, when will he come back? ”
I hummed, said yes, and hung up.
I said thank you to my boss and wanted to pay, but the boss refused to ask for it. I have some doubts in my heart, why did my uncle change his attention halfway?
But I didn't think much about it, anyway, when I went back to the village, I would know that the uncle was gone.
I finally came to town, I took Xiao Wanwan to eat something, and asked Xiao Wanwan what he liked? I'm going to buy something for her. But they were all politely rejected by Xiao Wanwan, Xiao Wanwan said, let's go back first, there are too many people here.
I had already discovered Xiao Wanwan's restraint, so I didn't say much, and rushed home with Xiao Wanwan.
Seeing that he was about to leave the town, he was suddenly stopped, and he was holding a canvas propped up by a bamboo pole in his hand, on which were written the words "hexagram and word measurement". Wearing a robe.
I asked him what was the matter?
He stared at me and said, "I see that you are full of heaven, with a straight nose and huge earlobes, which is a rare blessing, and I am afraid that your achievements in the future will not be small." ”
I said that I don't tell my fortune, and where I have huge earlobes, isn't this nonsense!
He said to me, "You don't tell your fortune, I can help you measure your words, you say a word." ”
At this time, Xiao Wanwan pulled me down, and I said, "I don't measure words, master, I have to go back first if I have something urgent." If you want to count it, you will count it next time. ”
The man was not annoyed, and stepped out of the way. I pulled Xiao Wanwan and wanted to walk out of town.
But he said, "It doesn't matter if you stay now, but if the three things I said happen around you in five days, you can come back to me then." ”
His words piqued my curiosity, and I paused and said, "What three things?" ”
He touched his beard with his hand and said, "The old snake is entangled in the corpse, the dead ask for directions, and the Yellow River rises." ”
I stood there stunned for a few seconds, the Yellow River rising is very easy to happen, but compared to the first two things, it sounds a little evil, I looked at the Taoist priest and said, "What if these three things don't happen?" ”
The Taoist priest said, "If it doesn't happen, my head will hang over the bronze bell and be beaten every day, and I won't be at peace." ”
I heard the Taoist priest say such cruel words, so I quickly persuaded him and said, it's just a few jokes, don't take it seriously, Taoist.
The Taoist priest bowed and smiled, not saying much.
Xiao and I rushed back to the village in the evening, and the time was exactly twelve o'clock. It was when the sun was hot, and I thought to myself that this day was not like a rainy day, and it seemed that it was impossible for the Yellow River to rise. I thought about what my aunt had explained, so I went to my second grandfather's house first. I raised my hand and knocked on the door, but just after a few knocks, Xiao Wanwan suddenly pulled me down and told me to be careful.
I subconsciously stepped back, only to see a black snake falling from the lintel of my second grandfather's house, and it was wriggling at this time. I looked at the snake, and a feeling of extreme bad welled up in the depths of my heart......
