Chapter 8: The Horror of the Funeral Parlor (text)

Meng Changqing laughed twice when he looked at me, and then walked into the Taoist temple with his hands in his hands.

I looked at the white-clothed female ghost here for a while, I wanted to say something, but I couldn't open my mouth, and finally I had no choice but to turn around and go to the Taoist temple.

Just as I was about to step into the Taoist temple, the female ghost in white stopped me: "You wait. ”

I looked back at her, and she said, "Am I embarrassing you?" ”

I shook my head and said no, although I was young at that time, I didn't want to lose face in front of girls, at least I had to make her think I was very good.

She didn't dare to approach the Taoist temple, she could only talk to me from afar, her voice was very small, I couldn't hear it clearly, but I was afraid that she was a ghost, so I didn't dare to approach her.

After a long struggle, I slowly walked to a position about five meters away from her and stopped, and asked her, "Why are you following us?" ”

She also seemed to be a little jealous of me, and said softly: "The living will be afraid of me when they see me, and the dead will bully me when they see me, you are the only person I have ever seen who is willing to help me." ”

I said, it's strange that she's such a beautiful girl, why would someone bully her, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it.

Later, when I grew up, I learned the word "red face" and "thin life" since ancient times.

I'm from the countryside, and I haven't communicated with anyone much, but she is an extremely conservative girl, and she speaks carefully, so the two of us naturally can't talk for long along the way.

But she told me her name anyway.

Her name is Li Yan and she is seventeen years old.

Just a few words of conversation, during which a Taoist priest came out to inspect, she was very afraid of those Taoist priests, so she said goodbye to me in advance and left.

I watched her disappear for a moment, and only after it was all gone, did I remember that I had forgotten to help out the night.

But now there was nowhere to find her, so I had to give up and go back to the Taoist temple, thinking that I could do it alone.

Besides, I don't believe that Meng Changqing will really let me go down the mountain alone, so wouldn't he just push me into the fire pit, if so, it wouldn't be interesting for him to defend me like that before.

As soon as I walked into the room where Meng Changqing was, Meng Changqing took out a flashlight from the cabinet and a note with the address written on it.

He handed them to me and said, "Go down the mountain now, for it will be too late when the day comes." ”

I looked at the two things in my hand and froze for a while, not because I was surprised so quickly, but looked at Meng Changqing and said intermittently: "Master, you really want me to go." ”

Meng Changqing sighed: "Of course, you can also choose not to go, but if that female ghost is not protected by the Taoist temple, she will be taken captive by the ghost sooner or later!" ”

He said it so strictly, it really scared me, even if I had seen it for a short time, I knew that the ghost was something from the underworld, and if she fell into it, she might be bullied even more.

Thinking of this, I took the flashlight and the note with the address written on it, and walked slowly to the outside of the Taoist temple, hoping that he would call me back halfway through, or come with me.

But I was disappointed, until I arrived at the mountain gate, and there was no trace of Meng Changqing.

Now in this situation, I have no choice but to bite the bullet.

I looked down at the wound on my finger, hoping that this method would be useful for a while, and I would only use the two methods of child urine and middle finger blood.

The way down the hill was not bad, and after walking for about an hour, I entered the bustling neighborhood.

It's past two o'clock in the morning, and only the occasional few people and a few cars pass by on the street.

I kept looking for the address on the note on this street, and it was not until about three o'clock in the morning that I stopped at a place called 'Yongle Funeral Home'.

The lobby of the funeral home is arranged as a mourning hall, which is divided into two halves by a paper wall.

The outer half is where the vigil is practiced, and the inner half is where the coffin is located.

The paper walls are covered with white paper flowers, and in the center hangs a photograph of a middle-aged woman, which looks very strange in the white smoke of sandalwood, and the eyes in the photo seem to move with the smoke fluttering.

I stood at the door of the funeral parlor and looked at it and immediately retreated in fright, originally I often attended funerals in the countryside, but Meng Changqing said that the dead people in this place are resentful and unsettled, and there will be changes, which makes me dare to go in.

There were more than a dozen people guarding the spirit in the mourning hall, and among these ten or so people, there were five Taoist priests wearing Taoist uniforms.

I was hesitating at the door, and naturally they noticed me, and one of the family members of the deceased met me, came up to me and asked me what I was doing.

I looked at the people in the picture and thought to myself that if anything resentful came out of my mouth, they would definitely clean me up, but for a moment I couldn't find any reason why I was standing in the doorway.

After thinking about it for a long time, I said, "Uncle, I'm lost, and I saw that the lights here are still on, so I want to see if there is anyone." ”

The family of the deceased listened to it, thought about it for a while, and let me in, saying that there were few people who were guarding the spirit, and I would come in to fill up my popularity.

I couldn't ask for it, so I sat down and stared at the dark coffin behind the white paper wall.

I don't know if it's because of the psychological effect, but looking at the coffin today, I always feel panicked.

In the past, when I attended funerals in the countryside, they were all lively and lively, but today it is so deserted, and this environment makes people feel very cold.

When it was almost four o'clock, the five Taoist priests suddenly stood up and said to the family of the deceased: "It's time to open the road, get ready to prepare." ”

We also have a saying that the way to open the way to the underworld is to open the way for the dead to go to the underworld, so that they do not go to the wrong place.

The family members of the deceased got up and set up a square table in the middle of the mourning hall, on which all kinds of strange things were placed, and then stepped aside.

After that, these Taoist priests raised the white paper flags in their hands and began to sing, and at the same time made various movements.

Looking at the movements made by Meng Changqing, their movements are particularly like monkey dancing in my eyes, without any sense of beauty, not decisive at all, and extremely feminine.

The last item on the road was to circle the coffin, and the five people lined up to walk into the inside of the paper wall, muttering around the coffin, and knocking on the coffin from time to time, which made my heart tremble, for fear that they would wake up the contents of the coffin.

But fortunately, after they finished knocking, there was no movement in the coffin, and even if they finished driving the road and sat with their backs against the white paper wall, nothing happened.

This makes me wonder if Meng Changqing deliberately pushed me down the mountain today, trying to get rid of me and made up such a story of resentment and resentment.

Just as he was thinking about it, the lights of the mourning hall dimmed, and the mourning hall suddenly became dark.

At this time, the family of the deceased immediately got up and said, "It's tripped, I'll go open the gate." ”

After speaking, he stepped on the steps of the knock dong dong and walked out of the mourning hall in the dark, at first this step was quite normal, but after walking about ten steps, the mourning hall suddenly made a loud bang.

They didn't understand what it was, but it occurred to me that it was the coffin lid being lifted.

When I thought of such a thing, I didn't dare to make a sound, I couldn't see it around me at all, and I was afraid that if I made a sound, the dead man would follow the sound to find me.

The others were silent, and I probably didn't take the knock to heart, but I was so nervous that I had the idea of running out several times.

In the end, it was really difficult, and when I wanted to get up, the light in the mourning hall suddenly turned on, and I immediately looked through a small door on the white paper wall to the coffin inside.

I was relieved that the lid of the coffin was tightly lid and had not been lifted.

At this time, the family of the deceased also came back from outside, sat down next to me, and when they saw that I was sweating profusely, they asked me what was wrong.

I shook my head and said it was okay, and as I shook my head, my eyes flicked into the paper wall again, and this time I saw a black shoe tip exposed on the edge of the paper wall.

As soon as I saw it, the tip of the shoe disappeared in a flash and moved to the inside.

Someone was standing there.

I immediately realized the problem, and was about to turn my head to talk to the family of the deceased, but the lights in the mourning hall snapped off again.

At this time, the family of the deceased got up again and said, "It's tripping again, I'm going to find something to jam it." ”

After he got up to leave, I paid attention to the movement around me, but this time there was no movement.

After about fifteen seconds, the lights came on, and the family members of the deceased walked in from outside.

I looked at the inside of the white paper wall again, and before I could finish my eyes, I noticed the movement of the people around me.

The people guarding the spirit around them all ran out in an instant, but only the few Taoist priests with their backs to the white paper wall still didn't know what was going on.

I also saw a swollen human face piercing through the white paper wall and hanging its head on the offering table, like a pig's head on the offering table.

Now that it's hot, the man's head has already rotted, and the nose, ears, and mouth are all stuffed with white plugs, which are also used by the dead in this village, to prevent the corpse from flowing out.

When the five Taoist priests saw that everyone had run away, they also turned their heads to see what it was.

I thought to myself that Meng Changqing is a Taoist priest, and they are also Taoist priests, even if they are not as good as Meng Changqing, but there are five people, so I thought they could solve this woman.

But to my surprise, they took one look at it and ran out of the mourning hall screaming.

So, only me and the dead man were left in this mourning hall.

It's not that I don't want to run at this time, but I'm so scared that I can't run, I've seen ghosts, but it's the first time I've seen such a terrible environment and scene.

I swallowed my saliva and looked out the door, and was about to run away, when the dead man's eyes suddenly opened, and his pus-dripping eyes stared at me.

At this time, I had already forgotten all the things Meng Changqing had explained, what prevented the ghosts from making trouble, and what took the coffin board didn't matter at this time, all I wanted was to save my life.

The man's head writhed at me, the plug in his mouth squirmed, and finally fell on the table on the side of her chin.

The stopper fell off, and a puddle of rotten water immediately flowed from her mouth, and a suffocating stench came over her face.

She seemed to want to say something, but instead of words, she spit out, but disgusting corpse water.

But when I saw where she had been squirming for a long time and hadn't left the paper wall, I thought she was stuck, and I didn't know where she got the courage to lift a stool next to her and walk over to her step by step, hoping to smash her to death with a stool.

As soon as she was two meters away from her, her eyes suddenly widened, and her body jerked forward, and her whole body broke through the paper wall and pounced on me.

At this critical moment, a money sword suddenly flew in from outside, stabbing directly into her eyebrows, and her whole body fell to my feet, her mouth was just on the instep of my feet, and my feet were suddenly wet with corpse water.

However, this money sword didn't seem to have much effect on her, she immediately got up after she landed, her whole face was smashed just now, and the money sword in the center of her eyebrows made her look extremely terrifying.

She came and bit me with her mouth wide open, and I could feel my pupils dilated with fright.

But at this moment, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and my eyes also emitted a burning pain at the same moment, as if the thing inside was about to come out.

"You dare!" Before I could figure out what she was afraid of, Meng Changqing's majestic voice came from behind me.
