In the middle of the night, Yuan Zhenxiao and I walked towards the mourning hall in the evening.

However, the lights in the mourning hall are still on, because this is the first night, so there is no need for a formal vigil, and it is necessary to wait until the end of tonight, and the next few days will have to be kept until dawn.

In the early hours of the morning, the dew was frosty and the chill was overwhelming.

When I entered the mourning hall, I felt even more gloomy, and when I looked at it, I saw two coffins in the mourning hall, one red and one black. Looks a little scary. Xiao Wanwan was not very bold, shrank behind me, and asked me, "Did you see anything?" ”

I said I didn't see anything.

Yuan Zhen didn't say anything, called me, and I followed. Yuan Zhen said: "I'll show you something later, don't be afraid." ”

I held my breath, it's okay that Yuan Zhen didn't say this, as soon as he spoke, I became vigilant.

I said I wasn't afraid, but I was already scared.

Yuan Zhen walked around the red coffin, and after a while, I saw him push with his hand, and the coffin lid moved, I hurriedly asked Yuan Zhen and said, Master, what are you doing?

Yuan Zhen said, don't worry, you'll know later.

Yuan Zhen pushed again, and the blood-red coffin was pushed out of a gap, and Yuan Zhen asked me to see it. I looked through the gap, and when I saw it clearly, my whole body was in a state of confusion, and I suspected that I had misunderstood, so I rubbed my eyes and looked at it again to make sure that I was not mistaken.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

I asked Yuan Zhen, "Master, how could my second grandfather lie in this red coffin?" ”

Yuan Zhen closed the blood-red coffin and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's get out of here first." ”

I answered, but the whole person was in a state of distraction, who put the body of the second grandfather into the big red coffin? Leaving the mourning hall, curiosity drove me to ask Yuan Zhen what was going on?

Yuan Zhen said: "There will be a good show to watch soon, isn't this river god statue smashed?" Seeing that the statue of the river god is about to be completed, someone is going to enter the river temple! ”

Yuan Zhen said that God and God Taoism, I asked Yuan Zhen and said, "Are you talking about my second grandfather?" ”

Yuan Zhen looked at me and said, "You said it yourself, I didn't say it." ”

After Yuan Zhen finished speaking, he walked towards the front. I asked Yuan Zhen, "Where are you going now?" ”

Yuan Zhen said, of course, go to the Yellow River to see how the river god helped me handle that matter? I followed Yuan Zhen all the way to the Yellow River.

Yuan Zhen roared at the river, and the river god came out of the water, and when he saw Yuan Zhen, his face became a little colder, and he said, "Didn't you say seven days?" The time is not yet up. "He has a haughty attitude, as if he has forgotten the pain after healing the scar.

Yuan Zhen said lightly: "Now that I have changed my attention, if I don't hand over the people tomorrow night, don't blame me for being unkind." ”

The river god's face turned a little colder, and he said, "Then I'll see you tomorrow night." After the river god finished speaking, he withdrew.

At this time, Xiao Wanwan pressed her pocket and said with a nervous face: "Zhang Yan, it moved." ”

I looked down and saw that it was Xiao Wanwan's river god seal that was kicking in his pocket, trembling. Yuan Zhen said: "What's the hurry, what I promised to give you, I will definitely give it to you." After saying this, the river god seal became quiet.

Yuan Zhen turned around and continued to say to us: "Zhang Yan, you and the girl will go back first." I'll go downstream. ”

I said, "Master, why don't we go with you?" ”

Yuan Zhen said no, it's not early, I have to go as soon as possible. Yuan Zhen fell, and hurriedly walked downstream. The night soon engulfed Yuan Zhen.

The next day, the funeral of the second grandfather began to be carried out, and I, as a relative of the second grandfather, also needed to go to the mourning hall to bow down. When I knelt beside Xiaofu, I couldn't help but ask, where did his father go?

Xiaofu said: "My dad went to the temple and said that he was going to see the statue of the river god, and I wanted to go, but my dad wouldn't let me go." As he spoke, Xiaofu still pouted, looking dissatisfied.

I bowed to the meeting, said hello to my aunt, and said that I was going to do something.

My aunt didn't say anything, so she let me go, and I groped my way towards the river temple, and saw that some people had gathered in the river temple, and Li Duangong was there.

I stood in the crowd and didn't speak, my uncle stood in the middle of the river temple and said, "Since the river temple has been repaired, you should enter the temple tonight." ”

It's just that some people objected, saying that now the village is holding funerals, and it is unlucky for the river god statue to enter the temple.

My uncle immediately said with a straight face: "What is auspicious or unlucky, do you still want to continue to die, do you feel comfortable?" My dad was running around for the river god statue when he was alive, and now even my dad has paid for his life in it, don't you let the river god statue enter the temple? ”

Uncle's words, everyone fell silent.

I looked at the uncle in front of me and gave me a completely different feeling. Uncle has been living in the city all the time, and he hasn't seen much of it. But the feeling I had when he first returned to the village was completely different. One is against superstition, but now he is so convinced of superstition.

Uncle then said, "If you don't have any opinions, the matter will be decided. ”

Everyone was afraid that there would be a dead person in the future, so they all agreed.

Uncle said: "I'm not an unreasonable person, I will ask the mourning hall to stop all funeral activities at night, and let the statue of the river god enter the temple first." ”

After the uncle said this, he immediately received a warm response from everyone. said that the uncle was sensible and took into account the overall situation.

After I read it, I left to come here.

It seems that everything that is happening now is developing as Yuan Zhen said. I already felt uneasy in my heart, I turned around and went back to the mourning hall, and in the afternoon, my uncle came and talked to my aunt. The aunt's complexion changed significantly.

I also heard my aunt say, "Doesn't that seem right?" But the uncle ignored it. As soon as he opened his mouth, he told the funeral in the mourning hall about the temporary suspension of the funeral.

Uncle spoke, and no one objected.

After the uncle finished speaking, Li Duangong suddenly brought someone in and said to them, carry the red coffin out. When I saw them carrying the red coffin, I was curious and asked, "Li Duangong, what are you doing here?" ”

After Li Duangong saw that it was me, he explained: "This red coffin is used to accompany the burial, so you need to enter the ground first, and when your second grandfather's funeral is completed, this black coffin will be put into the ground again." ”

If I didn't know that there was a second grandfather lying in this red coffin, maybe I wouldn't have said anything, but now I know that the black coffin is empty, so I can't help but ask a few more questions. Li Duangong also helped me explain patiently. In the end, I still didn't say that it was the second grandfather lying in the red coffin.

Since the funeral was temporarily suspended, I left the mourning hall.

The anxiety became more and more serious, and Xiao Wanwan asked me at this time, "Do you want to eat something?" ”

I shook my head and said I didn't want to eat it.

I waited until six o'clock in the afternoon, when the sound of a string of firecrackers suddenly sounded in the village, and then someone called me to attend the ceremony of entering the temple of the river god. This is definitely a big deal for our village. The village, which had been disturbed by the people, suddenly became extremely lively, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

The second grandfather is now gone, and the uncle quickly took over some work.

When I got to the front of the river temple, because it was getting dark, several bonfires were lit in front of the river temple, and in the very center of the river temple was covered with a red cloth, needless to say. It must be covered with a statue of the river god.

Li Duangong stood next to the statue of the river god. However, tonight's Li Duangong's whole temperament can be said to have changed, and after changing into a robe, the whole person has become vibrant. In response to that sentence, people are in good spirits at happy events.

Li Duangong walked in front of the statue of the river god, and first held some ceremonies.

During this period, firecrackers and fireworks never stopped. The tranquility of the whole night was completely banished.

As Li Duangong shouted, all the little ghosts quickly gave way, and invited the river god to enter the river temple. In an instant, the whole village was boiling.

Just then, a voice sounded next to me, and he said, "Go and stop them." ”

As I finished speaking, I felt my shoulders be pushed down, and I fell in the middle, and right in the middle of the river god. The forehead accidentally hit the ground and saw blood. I scrambled to my feet and wiped the blood from my forehead.

When Li Duangong saw me, he said, "Zhang boy, you are blocking the way of the river god, don't hurry up and get out of the way." Li Duan's voice became a little serious.

I didn't know what to do for a while, and I was a little panicked.

But at this time, Yuan Zhen suddenly walked out of the crowd and said, "Who are you asking him to make way for?" ”

After Li Duangong saw Yuan Zhen appear, his complexion obviously changed and he didn't look good. Li Duangong deliberately suppressed his emotions and said: "Senior, the entry of the river god statue into the temple is a great joy for the people in the village, and please don't stop the seniors." ”

Yuan Zhen smiled and said, "What is this river god statue?" I have to force my apprentice to give way. ”

Yuan Zhen's words obviously made the villagers unhappy, and they accused Yuan Zhen one after another, but Yuan Zhen didn't care at all. He said to me, "Apprentice, stand still and see what they can do with you." ”

I was a little speechless, I couldn't stand, I couldn't walk.

At this time, my uncle came out to speak and shouted at me: "Xiaoyan, get out of the way quickly, don't delay the good day and auspicious time." ”

As he spoke, my uncle walked towards me and stretched out his hand to pull me away.

Yuan Zhen gently pushed, and asked the uncle to take a few steps back. The uncle was angry and said, "I see that you are the master of Xiaoyan, and I will endure you again and again, don't go too far." ”

Yuan Zhen disagreed and said: "If you want to talk about the river god, I have a real river god here, you don't worship the real river god, why do you have to worship a river god statue." ”

The uncle became more and more annoyed, and said to Yuan Zhen, don't talk nonsense here, come here, and drag him away.

A few people soon came up in the crowd, but at this time, there was a sudden gust of wind, and the wind was still a little strong, Yuan Zhen shouted and said, "Girl, take out the river god seal." ”

Xiao Wan touched the river god seal before the evening, but as soon as Xiao Wanwan touched out the river god seal, something more terrible happened......
