Chapter 17: Fooling
"Master Ma, is this a seven-star peach stake?" Heiwa put away the wooden hammer in her hand and said in surprise.
"Hmm!" Ma Lao nodded and didn't say much.
Seeing that Ma Lao's interest was not high, Heiwa shrunk her neck and said no more.
"So this is called the Seven Star Peach Stake?" Listening to the conversation between Heiwa and Ma Lao, my heart suddenly changed.
I just don't know what this thing is for.
Just when I was curious about this, Ma Lao beckoned Heiwa to tie up the whole coffin with hemp rope soaked in black dog blood, and the hemp rope would be left every other section, and then the left section was fixed on the peach stake!
Although I was curious to watch, I didn't take the liberty of bothering me.
By the time this was done, the sun had set over the hills, and there was a hint of twilight on the horizon.
"Ma Lao, do you want to find some firewood to burn the coffin?" The tall man who had been watching for most of the day on the side saw that Ma Lao was finished, and he couldn't help but say something.
When everyone heard this, they also echoed it, thinking that this was a good idea. And looking at what Ma Lao did just now, it was obvious that he had trapped the things in the coffin.
If you don't burn it now, when?
But just as everyone was saying a word, Ma Lao glanced at everyone and said coldly: "If any of you have the ability to burn, then burn!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately stopped and didn't dare to say a word more!
Also, if you can really burn it out with a fire, why does Old Man Ma bother doing this. Now that I'm exhausted, I must use other ways to deal with this coffin!
I just don't know what he's going to do. I don't think tying the coffin with hemp rope is the end of it!
Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Ma Lao looked at Xiaoyu's father and sighed and said: "Sanshui, this is my last shot, whether it succeeds or not, I have this cause and effect!" ”
Ma Lao's words made everyone stunned, and when they understood, they were instantly shocked!
I was also stunned, I never thought that Ma Lao would say this.
Could it be that the coffin in front of him is not even sure that he will be cleaned up? But isn't this just an ordinary coffin? Even if the corpse inside does not decay for a hundred years and changes into a legendary zombie, can it still turn the sky upside down?
But what I don't know is that the corpse dies without decaying, and it becomes stiff for a hundred years, which represents more than just an ordinary zombie!
After hearing this, Xiaoyu's father suddenly became anxious, and just as he was about to speak, Ma Lao waved his hand and interrupted him.
"Sanshui, you don't need to say it again. It's not that I don't help you, but what I'm good at is feng shui yin and yang, not catching ghosts and eliminating demons. ”
"Now what I'm doing is within my reach! If it doesn't work next, you can be smart! ”
Ma Lao's words have been completely clear, and everyone wanted to say something after listening to it, but no one spoke after all.
For a while, the atmosphere fell silent, and night fell completely. Under the dark night, this atmosphere seems a little depressing, especially in the cemetery, which adds a weirdness!
"Master Ma, what should I do next?" After a long while, Heiwa broke the silence with a voice!
Ma Lao pondered for a moment and looked at everyone: "Irrelevant people, let's go back to the village first." and those who are not yet eighteen, dragons, chickens, and tigers, have also returned. ”
After listening to Ma's old words, many villagers who came to join in the fun suddenly turned around and left.
However, some of the timid ones were overjoyed, and when they heard this, they couldn't wait to rush back to the village!
When the people were almost gone, Ma Lao looked at Heiwa and said, "Heiwa, you go back too." But I have to bring some people to bring all the paper figures and paper horses that the Sanshui family prepared for Brother Chen. By the way, find another woman with a little more skill, and give me a golden bridge! ”
"Golden Bridge?" Heiwa was stunned for a moment and said loudly.
"Yes, it's Jinqiao. Don't use yellow paper! ”
"Also, take four more filial piety sticks!"
Heiwa nodded and wrote them down one by one, and before leaving, Ma Lao shouted for him to bring his bag over!
In this way, Heiwa rushed back to the village with seven or eight young people. We stayed at the ancestral grave and waited for Heiwa.
At this time, there were not many people left in the cemetery, just Ma Lao, Xiaoyu's father, and the uncles of Xiaoyu's own family, and the other three were respected old people in the village.
I don't know if I'm suspicious or what, as soon as the young people of Heiwa leave, I always feel like I'm swishing!
But seeing Ma Lao sitting in front of the fire with a steady appearance, my heart was a lot more settled!
"Ma Lao, did you ask Heiwa to prepare those things, do you plan to bury the coffin back?" None of the people who stayed in front of the fire spoke for a long time, and I felt a little bored, and I couldn't help but speak.
In fact, it's not that I'm out of words, but I've been wondering in my heart.
The things that Ma Lao asked Heiwa to prepare were very different from the things used to catch ghosts in the movie. Since it's not a ghost catcher, it must be used for burial!
And what kind of paper people and paper horses, aren't they used to burn the dead?
"Buried back? If I really want to be buried, then my old life will probably have to stay here! Hearing my words, Ma Lao couldn't help but smile and said.
"Ugh! So serious? I muttered in my heart, but I didn't dare to say anything!
Ma Lao seemed to be joking, but I knew that he was definitely not bluffing me.
Seeing that I was embarrassed and didn't speak, Ma Lao smiled and said, "You can also see that my ability is so big, I can't stop this thing, so I plan to see if I can talk to it about the conditions!" ”
"What? Negotiate conditions? When I heard that, I almost screamed!
No kidding, right? This can also talk about conditions? Even if the corpse in the coffin really turns into a zombie, it is still a dead man. It's really unheard of to negotiate terms with a dead man.
Or am I lonely?
Seeing that I didn't believe it, Ma Lao shook his head with a smile and continued: "If you're afraid, go back first." ”
"Afraid? I'm a person who deals with dead people all day long, what is there to be afraid of! ”
Thinking of this, I replied with a smile: "Ma Lao, you are underestimating me, right?" Not to mention a coffin, even if a real dead person pounces in my arms, I will not have the slightest fear! ”
"Huh? The young man is so daring! Ma Lao joked with a smile, and arched his hand like the people in the rivers and lakes!
"Ugh! Ma Lao, you are the master! "I laughed in my heart, and I learned from him.
"Then let's join hands to fight against the strong enemy?"
"Resist the ...... of the strong enemy"
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Heiwa rushed back panting, and some of the things Ma Lao ordered naturally brought all of them!
At this moment, Ma Lao's expression rarely became solemn! As he told me earlier, you have to set them all up by 12 a.m.
Otherwise, as soon as the ghost door opens, we will have no chance at all, and our lives will undoubtedly be lost here!
In fact, I don't believe in these, if there are really ghosts in this world, I have seen them in the funeral home for so many years, and I still have to wait until now?
Not to mention the so-called ghost gate in his mouth, could it be that as soon as the ghost door is opened, many ghosts will all run out? That's no joke!
However, for Ma Lao, I still "selectively" believed what he said, after all, the empty hand he exposed during the day to burn yellow paper was definitely not a fraud!
By the time everything was arranged, it was already half past eleven. But my whole heart really can't stop beating suddenly!
Because of the scene in front of me, how weird it looks!
In an open space in the cemetery, in the middle is the golden bridge, and the left and right sides of the golden bridge are full of paper people and paper horses.
Ma Lao said that this is called the old horse leading the way, and the villain leading the bridge.
I don't know what that means, but I can guess a bit. It should be that he will open the ghost door after a while, and then let the paper man and paper horse lead the way and lead those lonely ghosts to the golden bridge.
As for what the Golden Bridge is for, Ma Lao told me that it is for reincarnation, and it is also called Nai He Bridge!
After Ma Lao's explanation little by little, I completely understood his plan, it turned out that he wanted to fool the ghost!
That's right, it's a fool!
He wanted to use this golden bridge to attract many lonely souls and wild ghosts to reincarnate, so many ghosts rushed to reincarnate, and the one in the coffin would naturally be unable to bear to come out.
Then......
Looking at the completely arranged scene without a trace of error, Ma Lao breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Heiwa, who was standing upright next to the golden bridge, like a door god, and the other three young people: "Don't be afraid, those ghosts will definitely hide away when they see you later, as long as you try your best to hold your breath and don't show your feet, you will be fine!" ”
