Chapter 9: The Mourning Hall is Haunted
The old man also hurriedly ran over to check the body, and finally determined that it was not saved. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Song Qi and his mother cried very sadly, seeing him sad like this, my sympathy overflowed.
I didn't care about him bullying me so much before. The deceased was the greatest, and my neighbors and I helped carry Song Laohan to an open space next to Song Qi's house. Then they began to erect the funeral tent.
This is the rule, people who die outside cannot be left at home for funerals. The altar has been erected, but the gentleman in charge of chanting the scriptures has not yet been invited.
The old man never did this job, but he introduced one, saying that his surname was Jiang, and his reputation was not bad.
Everything was ready, and the funeral was done. I was supposed to help at his house, but in the evening, I was pulled back to his house by the old man.
"Grandpa, what are you calling me back for? In the neighborhood, I should help. ”
"As far as your kid is kind-hearted, he can even ignore Song Qi's bullying of you." The old man praised me so much, but it still made me very useful.
"That's a must, don't look at my usual muddy. I still know exactly what to do when and what to do. ”
"If you come less, you still have to go to heaven if you praise you twice?" As he spoke, the old man grabbed me in front of the ancestor's tablet and told me to kneel.
I didn't know what he was going to do, but I got to my knees obediently. I saw my grandfather take a branch, which looked like a willow tree, and let me hold it in my mouth.
Then he burned the talisman, and there were words in his mouth. I originally wanted to choke him, but who would have thought about it, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "The devil has appeared!" ”
The willow branch I was holding in my mouth suddenly turned black and went out of that part of my mouth, so frightened that I quickly took it out of my mouth and threw it on the ground. "Grandpa, what's going on?"
The old man picked up the willow branch and sighed before saying, "The ghost king has awakened due to the influence of the soul train. Xiao Feng, do you remember what I told you that more than 20 years ago, there was a zombie in Wuxiang Village? ”
"Remember," I nodded, saying that I hadn't been born when that happened. It is said that there is a cave on the top of the mountain behind Wuxiang Village, and there is a very powerful zombie in it, which was later sealed by a beautiful celestial master.
Later, the zombie was carried away by an alliance at the time.
I don't know why my grandfather mentioned this, I looked at him and waited for his answer.
"Because of this, the yin qi in Wuxiang Village has always been on the heavy side, you can't stay any longer, otherwise, I'm worried that the ghost king will really wake up, and you will ......" The old man said this and didn't say any more.
I knew what he was trying to say was that I would die, but I had already guessed this kind of thing when I learned that I was a parasite. But I just don't believe that I can die like this, I have given up on myself first, who can save me?
"Grandpa, at least you have to wait for me to send Uncle Song away, right? I have already promised Song Qi, this kid was very arrogant when he bullied me, now that my father is dead, he sees that I don't give up my past suspicions and help him. Not to mention how touched. ”
"Kid, didn't you see the corpse spots on Song Tiancheng's body?" The old man didn't seem to want to hide it from me, "The yin qi of Wuxiang Village has not had such a big impact, mainly because the evil qi of the ghost king is exposed, and the yin qi has caused this poisonous corpse spot, Wang Ji's kid has a big life, and he was saved by me before the corpse spot attacked, otherwise it would not have been saved." ”
I was very sad to hear it, but I didn't expect that it was because of me that I killed Song Laohan, and I asked the old man again, "Is the evil qi in my body still leaking out?" ”
"Don't worry about the evil qi for the time being, grandpa will help you suppress it, as long as you leave Wuxiang Village and are not impregnated by yin qi at the same time, it will be fine." The old man said to me earnestly, "Grandpa is old, and he is actually reluctant to give you up, but this is for your own good." ”
"Grandpa." I thought about it, and finally decided not to leave for the time being. "Then can you help me suppress the evil spirit for the time being, and let me send Uncle Song? This thing is because of me, and I feel sorry for him. ”
"Good boy, responsible. Okay, grandpa help you. The old man was moved by my words and agreed to my request.
I was happy all at once. Urging him to hurry up and give me a solution.
Grandpa asked me to prepare the altar, and it was to burn talismans and chant incantations, and it was made of chicken blood, anyway, I couldn't understand it, and finally, grandpa put the red rope soaked in chicken blood on my hand and told me not to take it off.
And not to touch dirty things, this seems to be universal, I remember on the soul train, it was also because of my sweat that the power of that talisman was greatly reduced. I nodded and told the old man that I would remember it well.
After doing the rituals, I went back to the altar. At this time, the gentleman was spitting and chanting the scriptures, in fact, I don't know if it is useful or not, but this is the rule in my hometown.
The old man said that in fact, this can comfort the dead to some extent, and also reassure the living, so even if there is water, no one will not do it.
Finally, when the trivial things were done, the onlookers also went home one after another, leaving only me and Song Qi, according to the rules, he couldn't sleep tonight, and he had to keep his spirit.
This temporary mourning shed is equivalent to the mourning hall, this kid is in a very heavy mood, and he has been just kneeling there to burn paper.
"I said, don't be sad, the dead are gone, and the living have to continue to work hard." I patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Thank you, brother." Song Qi told me weakly that he didn't seem to have eaten today. It's strange to have strength. "You were so kind to you before, and you are still willing to help me like this."
"Don't say that, it's all over, you wait here, I'll go get something to eat, the vigil has to be kept all night, you haven't eaten anything, can you survive?"
Before I could get up, he tapped me on the shoulder and said, "Brother, you wait here, I'll get it." I'm the master's family, so there's no reason for you to get food. ”
I didn't say anything, I didn't know where to get food, it's twenty-three o'clock, and the little shops are closed. If he really asked me to go, I guess I'd have to go home and get some.
But seriously, I'm a little scared when I'm on my knees here. From time to time, I would look towards Song Laohan and see that he was still lying down, so I was relieved.
He hasn't entered the museum yet, so he just covers it with a white cloth and puts it there, because no one expected that something would happen, and the coffin hasn't been brought back yet. That's it for now.
His stomach is already growling, but Song Qi hasn't come back yet, is he making it at home? Really, just get some.
Meow! It was quiet all around, but suddenly there was such a cat meow, and my whole body was stirred.
I've been following the old man for so long, and I know something to some extent, cats are not allowed in the mourning hall, it is said that it will disturb the deceased, and if you suddenly sit up, it must not scare people to death.
And there's no one else here, just me, if I'm scared to death, isn't it wronged?
I hurriedly got up, uncle, I knelt for a long time, my legs were numb, and I got up so hard that I almost didn't fall down again.
I first carefully inspected the entire mourning hall, and when I passed by the corpse, I instinctively glanced at it, Song Laohan was still lying well, but I found that the piece on his head seemed to be a little concave.
It is said that curiosity kills cats, however, curiosity is also human instinct, so I just opened it deadly, whew, fortunately, although the expression is a little painful, but it is still a corpse.
Nonsense, it's not a corpse or a living person? I quickly covered it. I thought about going outside to see if it was a nearby cat, but I didn't pay attention to where it barked because I was so hungry just now, and I barked like that.
As I walked to the door, a cold wind blew in, and since it was temporary, the door was just a piece of cloth. I shuddered, strange, it's June, such a hot weather, there can be a cold wind?
Wait, I suddenly thought of the coldness I felt when I saw the ghost before, and I felt creepy.
Song Laohan died so unjustly, wouldn't it be because he knew that it had something to do with me and came to me? But when I saw him go during the day, he was obviously very peaceful.
Quiet...... Detailed? My mind exploded, what did I just see? I don't even dare to lift the curtain now.
Not to mention going back and thinking about being scared from behind by that ghost at school, and then scaring me half to death on the soul train. Damn, being a ghost is so good at scaring people.
What if I lift the curtain and he's right in my face? Looking back, it's even worse, if I see a sitting old man instead of a lying one, I think I'll go crazy.
The wind outside is blowing more and more uncomfortable, what should I do? I clung to the curtain of the door, or I could open it and run out at once. But in my head, these legs are not obedient.
I couldn't move at all, bang, damn, it was the sound of something falling to the ground from behind.
Meow! It's so good that it's not dead, but the cat's meow is coming again, yes, this time, I heard it clearly, it's coming from outside. That's on the outside?
I let go of the curtain in my hand and slowly stepped back, but there was a very light footstep outside, and it was getting closer, closer and closer. When they reached the door, they suddenly stopped, and there was no sound.
"Song Qi, is that you?" I thought, don't scare yourself yet, maybe Song Qi got the food back?
"Song Qi, don't scare me, speak." I swallowed, and suddenly thought of a solution, it was just a curtain, I could see it from below, and it didn't drag to the ground.
I quickly squatted down, and when I saw Song Qi's shoes, the doubts and worries in my heart were suddenly swept away.
I pulled open the curtain and looked at him. "Why don't you keep silent? Are you trying to scare me to death? What about eating? ”
Song Qi didn't speak, just stood in front of me, his head down, and his hands naturally drooped. I suddenly became angry in my heart, "I said you kid, I was kind enough to accompany you to keep a vigil, and you said you were going to get food, but it turned out to scare me?" ”
Song Qi raised his head slightly to look at me, his eyes were blank, as if he hadn't slept for many days.
"You, you speak." I'm starting to feel that something is wrong, this kid was talking to me just now, and now which one is he playing?
He raised his head slowly, but the inside of his two eyes was bubbling out, and two lines of blood clearly slipped from his face, dripping on the ground, ticking, ticking, in the silent night, it looked extraordinarily crisp and infiltrating.
I was frightened, I didn't know if he was a human or a ghost, and slowly retreated, but after a few steps back, I suddenly remembered that there was a corpse lying behind me.
I quickly stopped, but that cold feeling appeared behind me, forget it, I have to see what the hell it is, I turned around sharply.
A magnified blue-green face appeared in front of him, and his eyes were bulging and flowing outward. Disgusting and scared, I yelled at the top of my throat and turned to run out.
Strange to say, Song Qi, who was originally standing at the door, also disappeared suddenly.
