Chapter 14: Opening the Coffin (Part II)
"Woe to the raven's head, woe to you! This is definitely not a good sign! Looking at the flock of black crows in the distance, Uncle Jiu's brows couldn't help but furrow deeply.
The crow is the most popular animal taboo in China. It is believed that the crow is a fierce bird, and it is ominous to meet it; If you chirp at the head, it is a harbinger of calamity. The Book of Songs? Sao Feng? "North Wind" said: "Mo ** fox, Mo black bandit." It can be seen that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, in the minds of people in the Spring and Autumn Period, the crow has been cast as a symbol of ugliness. This understanding has been passed down and preserved from ancient mythology, and the crow still represents this ominous in people's hearts to this day.
Out of this cognition, coupled with Uncle Jiu's words just now, everyone couldn't help but be a little worried, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Then what should I do?" Does Uncle Nine want to continue to open the coffin? ”
Uncle Nine said in a deep voice, "The arrow is on the string, I have to send it, open the coffin!" ”
With the heavy crunching sound of the coffin, everyone involuntarily surrounded it, and the moment the coffin opened, they saw almost visible black gas escaping from the coffin. What's even more shocking is that the old lady Ren in the coffin didn't show any signs of decay, except for a slight blackening of the skin, as if he had just died.
Everyone was even more shocked when they saw this, which was undoubtedly the most affected by the old lady Ren's son Ren Fa, when Ren Fa saw his father buried in the grave, I didn't expect that more than 20 years later, the old lady Ren was still vivid, and then linked to Uncle Jiu's remarks just now, Ren Fa has reason to believe that their Ren family was definitely calculated by Mr. Feng Shui.
Thinking of this, Ren Fa didn't even have time to grieve, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Uncle Jiu's sleeve and said, "Uncle Jiu, what's going on?" Why did my father become like this? ”
Uncle Nine was silent for a moment, shook his head and sighed, "What I was most worried about has happened, and the situation of Old Lady Ren is a little bad!" ”
"What then? Uncle Nine, can this tomb still be used? At this moment, Ren Fa no longer had the insistence that he had to lift the coffin and move the burial, he just wanted to bury his father as soon as possible and end the matter. Let the Ren family be safe and sound, and don't go through any more tribulations.
However, things are often unsatisfactory, Uncle Nine pondered for a while, and replied, "Dragonfly points to water, little by little, definitely can't be in the same position again, this tomb has been abandoned!" Master Ren, you have also seen the current situation, if you don't want any more accidents, I recommend that you be cremated on the spot! Let the old lady finish this last journey quietly! ”
"No, no!" Ren Fa shook his head when he heard this, and said: "My father hated fire the most when he was alive!" Before he died, he told me not to be cremated, but to let him be buried in peace! As the Son of Man, how can I disobey my father's will? Uncle Nine, you should think of another way! ”
Seeing that Ren Fa was so stubborn, Ye Sen couldn't help but say loudly, "Master Ren, the current situation is clear at a glance. Obviously, the old lady Ren was plotted by that feng shui gentleman. Judging from the current situation of Mrs. Ren, cremation is undoubtedly the best choice. This is not only good for him, but also the best for your family! ”
"Absolutely not!" Ren Fa glanced at Ye Sen, turned his head and said directly to Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, you are a master of our Xiangxi territory, can't even you find another way?" ”
"Alas!" Uncle Nine also understands Ren Fa's feelings, for the people of Renjia Town, cremating the remains of the ancestors is definitely the greatest disrespect to the ancestors. If there is a little other possibility, the people of Xiangxi will choose to bury the remains of their dead relatives. In the eyes of the people of Xiangxi, only by burying the remains of their relatives in the ancestral graves can they enjoy the incense and blood food of the sacrifice, and not become lonely ghosts. This is also one of the main reasons for the prevalence of corpse driving in Xiangxi.
After weighing the pros and cons, Uncle Nine gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Then temporarily store it in our Yizhuang, and tomorrow I will help Old Lady Ren find another good tomb so that he can rest in peace soon! ”
"Then thank you Uncle Nine!" Ren Fa was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked Uncle Jiu. Then he immediately ordered the family members to carry the coffin to Yizhuang, as if he was in a hurry as if he was afraid that Uncle Nine would regret it.
Seeing that Ren Fa was in such a hurry to "die" Ye Sen was completely speechless, he said everything he had to say, if Ren Fa chose to be cremated on the spot, there would obviously be a glimmer of life, but Ren Fa stubbornly chose to carry the body back, in this way, wouldn't he be looking for death?
"You can't live if you do your own evil!"
In Ye Sen's exclamation, the Ren family's servants lifted the coffin of Old Lady Ren and headed in the direction of Yizhuang. Looking at the coffin that was gradually moving away, Uncle Jiu's face suddenly became a little solemn, and he hurriedly called Wen Cai and Qiusheng and said, "You two will light a plum blossom incense array next to the tomb and burn it into, come back and tell me!" Remember not to miss every grave! ”
"Got it, Master!" Although Qiusheng and the two love to play, they are still very obedient to Uncle Jiu's words, and after hearing Uncle Jiu's orders, one of them picked up a handful of incense candles and started to act separately.
On the way back, Ye Sen said curiously, "Uncle Jiu, what's the use of that plum blossom incense array?" Why did you want Wencai to point them in front of the grave of Old Lady Ren? ”
A trace of solemnity flashed on Uncle Jiu's face and said, "Plum blossom incense array, since the ancestors are lit in front of the spirits, you can know the joy and sorrow of future generations within a quarter of an hour, this is one of the commonly used psychic formations in my Daomen, and it can usually predict the blessings and misfortunes of future generations!" I asked Wen Cai to point in front of the Ren family's grave in order to verify a guess! ”
"What speculation?"
Uncle Jiu's face was gloomy, and he said word by word, "Let's see if the Ren family will die today!" ”
[Sure enough! Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Ye Sen immediately affirmed his guess, thought about it, and immediately asked Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the Ren family has been calculated by that feng shui gentleman. Twenty years later, the corpse showed no signs of decomposition. I can only see that this old lady is probably going to become a zombie! ”
"Not bad!" Uncle Nine nodded and said, "It seems that you haven't read those classics in vain these days!" I can see at a glance that the old lady Ren is going to become a zombie, and the child can be taught! ”
"Hehe..."Ye Sen smiled a little shyly, in fact, where could he see what the doorway was! It's just that you know the plot well and know what will happen in advance. Ye Sen not only knew that Old Lady Ren would turn into a zombie, but also knew that once Old Lady Ren escaped from Yizhuang today, Ren Fa would definitely not be able to escape death.
But this kind of thing Ye Sen will never reveal to Uncle Jiu, after thinking about it, Ye Sen asked Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, I heard the four-eyed Taoist chief say that zombies are divided into walking corpses, white zombies, green zombies, and black zombies, in your opinion, if the old lady Ren has a corpse transformation, what level will it be?" ”
Uncle Nine pondered for a moment, and hesitated, "Old lady Ren has been calculated, and he has been tortured for twenty years, and his resentment is so deep that it is rare in the world. ”
"Green Zombie!? So fierce? ”
