Chapter 83: At the Festival
"I brought someone with me." Before Brother Yu finished speaking, the eyes of the ghosts in the courtyard had already looked at Gu Yinian.
Being stared at by so many ghosts for the first time, Gu Yinian was a little scared, and subconsciously took a few steps back and hit the iron door that closed at some point.
Gu Yinian turned his head to see that the iron door was unlocked, but it was imprisoned by an invisible force.
"The auspicious time has come." There was a shrill voice, not like a human voice.
Gu Yinian covered his ears, his head a little dizzy.
It's so ugly.
The demons looked away from her and walked towards the source of the sound.
The rich yin qi from the pavement made Gu Yinian very uncomfortable, as if he had pressed a big stone on his chest, unable to breathe, and his eyes were a little dizzy.
"What are you doing here?" There are ghosts pulling her.
Gu Yinian tried to open her eyes and saw two ghosts walking in with her.
It's not Brother Yu, it's someone who knew each other before, one is called Da Sheng, the other is called Da Zhu, twins who are eight or nine years old, I don't know why they died.
"Brother Dasheng, I'm uncomfortable." Gu Yinian didn't struggle, felt the increasingly dense yin qi, and said weakly.
"What do you say?" Dasheng was excited, but he didn't hear clearly.
Dazhu heard it and said, "She said she was uncomfortable." ”
The two ghosts put her down.
"How are you like today...... Hey, you're not a ghost! Dazhu's eyes widened.
"When did I say I was a ghost." Gu Yinian took a few breaths, took out a talisman from the space and pasted one on his body, which made him feel better.
Because I often go in and out of here, I didn't have such a heavy yin qi in the past, and I forgot about the rune paper for a while.
After complaining a few words about himself in his heart, Gu Yinian asked them: "What happened?" ”
For a long time, this small courtyard in Yuezi in Gujia Village showed her a room full of books in the basement, and it was a place where ghosts stopped, and under normal circumstances, few ghosts would enter the courtyard.
A place like today, where the yin qi is so thick that it resembles the extreme yin, has never existed in her memory, in the chat of the ghosts in Gujia Village.
"Yesterday the grave keeper died, and the priest said that he would find a new grave keeper to inherit the courtyard and guard the cemetery." Da Zhu took Gu Yinian and walked in one direction.
Gu Yinian looked up, there was a tree in front of him, and all the ghosts had disappeared into the tree.
"Or do you choose humans?" The old man who guards the tomb is a human being, and he is still alone, leaving no descendants.
I heard from the old people in the village that the work of the grave keeper is passed down from generation to generation, from father to son, and from son to grandchild.
Thinking of the dream last night, Gu Yinian was a little uneasy, I didn't know why Brother Yu pulled her into the courtyard, why she dreamed of the hanging coffin and the dead old man guarding the tomb.
But the dream, it felt like it was real.
"Grave keepers, of course, are human." The ghosts in front of Gu Yinian and the others had already entered the courtyard.
"But there are no adults watching the ceremony now?" Gu Yinian was a little puzzled.
"It's not from the people who watch the ceremony, and maybe this time, it's not human." Dasheng pushed Gu Yi Nian, "You go in first." ”
Gu Yinian was pushed to the front of the team, reached out and touched the bark of a hand, feeling that if he crashed into it like those ghosts before, he would probably hit a full head.
"Forget it, I'm not going, I'm going to participate in your ghost festival alone......"
"The bell remembers that no matter whether it is a person or a ghost in the courtyard, you must go in." A voice sounded, and he pushed Gu Yinian in.
