Chapter Twenty-Six: Driving Out the Corpses
When the night fell, the surrounding air seemed to have dropped a few degrees, Zhang Guan felt a little chilled, and when he was walking around the house to keep warm, he saw the old man walking in with a few plates of side dishes and a bottle of wine. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When the old man saw Zhang Guan's appearance, he said angrily: "Go to the coffin and be warm." ”
Zhang Guan smiled dryly: "It's okay." ”
The old man put down the side dishes and wine, and said: "Let you in, you will go in, where is there so much nonsense, after entering, no matter what movement is outside, as long as I don't call you out, you don't move the slightest, you know?" The old man's face was a little serious.
Zhang Guan was awe-struck, nodded slightly, raised his feet, stepped into the coffin and lay down, and the last vision was the old man's hand and a slowly closing coffin lid. The last thought in Zhang Guan's mind was, how could this old man have so much strength to close the lid alone.
Close the lid, the old man sat on the ground, eating small dishes, drinking small wine, this wine bottle contains fragrant and sweet spring wine, it is rumored that the little ghosts are good at this, but there is also a shelled and boiled egg in this wine bottle, but it makes people wonder how this egg is put in.
In the middle of the night, the old man drooped his eyelids, opened them for a while, closed them for a while, and suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the old man was shocked, his eyes opened suddenly, and a fine light flashed.
The old man got up slowly, and said to the empty door, "The villain has asked for a gift to the two Yin Si." ”
The two little ghosts in front of the door with high hats on their heads, dressed in black and white, and their faces were pale and smiled, and said with interest: "You old man can see us? ”
The old man's face remained unchanged and replied: "When the villain was young, he learned the fine Dao method, and the things of ghosts and gods can be glimpsed one or two. ”
One of the imps waved his hand and said, "We are going to detain the soul of this dead person, you let me go." As he spoke, he was going inside.
The old man hurriedly stopped the two imps and said with a smile: "The two adults have come all the way to detain the soul, presumably the journey is tired and tired, it is better to eat some side dishes here and drink a few cups to relieve fatigue." ”
One of the imps was about to refuse impatiently, while the other imp twitched his nose and asked with some uncertainty, "Thirty years of spring wine?" ”
"Exactly!" The old man laughed.
Hearing the old man's words, the greedy and greedy imp rolled his eyes and muttered something to the imp on the side, but the old man waited quietly on the side and did not speak.
Finally, the two imps agreed to eat some food and drink here, and then detain their souls on the road, and the old man smiled meaningfully.
Yin Si little ghost picked up the wine and poured it directly into his mouth, and when he was still unfinished, he found the egg in the wine bottle, sniffed it a few times, and said with some surprise: "Yunying eggs? ”
The old man nodded and said, "This Yunying egg soaked in spring wine, the wine is more fragrant and pure." ”
"Good, good." The little imp laughed and said a few good things, gulping down the wine, and his tongue was still sticking out into the wine bottle, as if he wanted to lick the Yunying egg in the wine bottle.
After a while, a large bottle of wine was drunk by the two imps, who were confused with their eyes, burped, and kept saying that it was good wine.
Black pollen was added to the wine, which was a hundred times stronger than the anesthesia of alcohol, and the imp was already half drunk, and he stretched out his tongue to reach the eggs in the bottle, and the wine was poured into his stomach.
Finally, a large bottle of wine was drunk, and the two imps walked a little shaky.
One of the imps frowned and said, "No... No... Drink it again, to... To delay... It's over. ”
The other imp nodded, took the soul lock and walked into the room.
At this time, the old man's fingers moved without a trace, and a small ghost in the coffin jumped directly towards the two pubic divisions.
Yin Si, who was holding the soul lock, raised his eyebrows and sneered: "You still sent it to the door yourself?" As he spoke, a black light flashed on the surface of the soul lock, and the little ghost who jumped over screamed miserably, and he was entangled in the confinement and couldn't move.
The two Yin Si restrained the soul, turned around and left, walked to the door, suddenly turned around, and looked in the direction of the coffin with some confusion.
Seeing this, the old man was shocked, and his face remained unchanged and shouted: "If the two adults like this wine, bring some of it, and as they say that, they will take another bottle of spring wine and stuff it into Yin Si's hand." ”
"Oh, that's embarrassing." Yin Si smiled and put away the wine after a few pushbacks, and then seemed to forget the abnormality in the coffin, no longer stayed, and strode away.
Seeing the yin that had turned into a stream of smoke and dissipated, the old man finally put his mind at ease and sighed lightly: "It's a pity that my two bottles of Shanghao Spring Wine, tsk." The old man's face was painful, but the corners of his eyes were relieved and happy.
The old man called out Zhang Guan and signaled that he could sleep, and seeing the old man's relaxed expression, Zhang Guan asked happily, "Is it solved?" ”
The old man chuckled, "It's almost, but it's still one last step, to play tricks on the ghost." ”
"Playing a trick on a ghost? What play? Zhang Guan was a little puzzled.
"Chase the corpse, a few days later, you follow me to drive the corpse, mix in the corpse, and deceive those two yin to think that you are really dead."
"Amount"
"You have a good rest these days, and then you must not be able to sleep for at least one day and one night, otherwise it will be in vain." The old man's face was a little solemn.
Zhang Guan nodded hurriedly.
A few days passed in a flash, and on the evening of the fifth day, the old man brought in a group of strangely dressed people. Everyone wore tall felt hats, and a few pieces of yellow paper with talismans were pressed on their foreheads, and when they looked closer, they found that these people had pale faces and sunken eye sockets, as if they were corpses, and several people were tied to their wrists with a straw rope, connected together.
The leading old man put down the gong, stepped forward and handed Zhang Guan the tall felt hat and some other things similar to ****, and said, "Pick it up, and you will be mixed among them later." ”
Zhang Guan made a bitter face and dressed himself as a corpse, and then the old man arranged Zhang Guan in the middle.
The old man looked at the sky, then struck the gong and set off, and heard the old man say that this group of people was going to be sent to Jianglong Town.
Zhang Guan followed suit, looking at the straw rope tied to his wrist, thinking that there were still corpses attached to the two ends, Zhang Guan shivered.
When walking on rugged mountain roads, many times the corpses will not be flexible, and they can only rely on the old people to move over the steep slopes one by one, and Zhang Guan, who pretended to be a corpse, not only could not help the old man, but also had to let the old man move him over.
When passing through a village called Pingtian on the road, a wild dog in the village barked and was about to rush over, listening to the old man that the dog would tear the corpse to pieces, and generally at night, the people in the village would consciously tie the dog up.
Seeing the wild dogs rushing up, the old man did not panic, took out a piece of what looked like a lump of meat from his pocket, and threw it over.
The wild dog twitched his nose, a little excited, gave up attacking the corpse, took the meat ball in his mouth, and ran away with his tail wagged, Zhang Guan saw that the wild dog ate the meat ball, and after a few seconds, he fell asleep directly on the ground and did not move.
