Section 228 Three coffins
We had no choice but to get out of this lost wilderness on our own, so we had to agree. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I followed him for a hundred meters, and sure enough, I saw a house made of pine wood.
The house is not big, the furnishings are very simple, but it is also warm, and it can be seen that the old mountain people have lived here alone for a long time.
On one side of the house there are three large coffins, which are very abrupt.
If you were an ordinary person, you would be frightened in this dark and remote forest, and Hua Zhenzhen and I were used to seeing dead people, so we didn't care at the moment, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that there was something in my uncle's house, so I really bothered me." Both of us lost our things in the hotel in Longhu Mountain, and now we are penniless, and we also took out a white envelope, which is really sorry. ”
The old mountain man said: "There are not so many rules in the mountains, and the people lying in the coffin are not my relatives. ”
We both wondered, but he didn't say any more, and turned and went into another room.
In the center of the room was a stove, and a large cauldron hung from it, and I don't know what kind of broth was stewed in it, and the fragrance was extremely tempting.
He scooped a bowl of meat soup for each of us, and it tasted so delicious and fragrant that it was much better than the meat in the so-called big restaurants in the city.
Hua Zhenzhen hasn't eaten fireworks in the world for a long time, and then put down the bowl after a symbolic sip, I ate slippery, and ate two large bowls of meat soup in succession before stopping, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, what kind of meat is this, why is it so fragrant?" ”
"It's wild boar from the mountains, and of course it's fragrant. It's not like those restaurants in the city, which are full of additives. ”
sat down and chatted with the class, and knew that this old mountain man's name was Sun Aihua, who had read for a few years when he was a teenager and was now a night watchman.
The so-called "night watchman" is the custom of this area. Whenever someone died, the family would send the body to the forest for three days and three nights, which was called a "vigil".
The Han people in China, whether in urban or rural areas, most families will place their bodies in the mourning hall at home when their relatives pass away, and there is a legend of Zhang Tianshi's Nine Palaces Bagua Array Forest here, believing that placing the body here for three days and three nights can give Zhang Tianshi the opportunity to lead their souls into heaven to enjoy happiness.
Of course, this is just a good wish, but in the world, isn't it just a good vision?
Over time, such a profession as a "night watchman" appeared.
Sun Aihua has no wife and no children, has been widowed all his life, and he is used to being alone, ordinary people can't stand this sin. However, ordinary people will not send people into the mountain, and Sun Aihua will guard the body alone for three days and three nights, so he will usually be given a lot of honorarium.
Today was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the Liu family, a wealthy family in the town, who opened a chain of restaurants, actually arrived at three corpses at the same time.
The three men looked about the same, they were all three brothers of the same mother, and they died together at once, Sun Aihua went to Linzikou to carry the three bodies into the mountain one by one, not only got a three-point honorarium from the Liu family at once, but also got two additional bottles of Moutai.
He scooped out a large bowl of stew from the pot, drank it with Moutai for half a night, and fell asleep drunk.
In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a rush of urine.
When I went to pee in a field behind the house, I suddenly heard a strange ringing in my ears.
The bell was intermittent, and if I didn't pay attention, I really couldn't hear it, but once I heard it, the sound was like a little awl, which was constantly piercing through my ears to the back of my head.
Is there anyone else living here?
But Uncle Sun said that he lives alone in this radius of dozens of miles!
I felt very weird, and I carefully groped my way through the bell.
The moonlight was bright, and it was a miserable white light.
This wasteland is just Sun Aihua watching alone, so there are weeds growing almost one person tall everywhere.
Now, in this barren forest, there is a person dressed as a Taoist priest spinning in a big circle in the field.
At present, the nearby Longhu Mountain gathers the most capable Taoist priests in Jiangxi Province, and this person is also one of them? What is he going to do here?
I was brave enough, but now I felt a chill in my heart, as if someone was blowing into my neck from behind.
Every time the Taoist priest took a step, the small bell rang with a "bell". Although the sound was not loud, there was a dead silence around it, and the bell was very abrupt.
After turning seven or eight circles, the Taoist priest stopped, but the bell in his hand shook more and more urgently, until it was like a rainstorm.
The moon at the top is frighteningly round, and the moonlight is bleak, and this scene is even more strange.
The Taoist priest suddenly bent down, reached out and felt some powder from his waist and sprinkled it on the ground, muttering something in his mouth. Far away, he read so softly that he couldn't hear what he was reading.
My eyes widened and I stared at the Taoist priest's every move. The Taoist priest's right hand was spreading powder, and it was raised up and down, as if carrying a very thin thread, when suddenly, I heard another strange sound, like holding a piece of tofu in my hand and squeezing it hard, and the sound of bean juice squeezing out from between my fingers.
I was feeling strange when suddenly, with the Taoist priest's hand raised, a figure stood up straight from the ground.
The figure stiffened, as if a Taoist priest had lifted him with a thread.
This man appeared so suddenly, I couldn't have imagined that there would be a person lying in the grass.
As soon as the man stood up, his hands were stretched out as if he were about to grasp something. The Taoist priest stretched out his hand, and the man jumped forward with the sound of the bell, and then another figure stood up from the ground.
There are three of them.
When three people stand together, the latter puts on the shoulders of the previous one, and the three stand in a row.
The three men stood in such a posture, which was naturally very strange, but what was even more strange was that the three people did not move like puppets, and in the moonlight, the faces of the three people were reflected in the white and blue, it was the three brothers of the Li family in the coffin!
Chase out the corpses!
I just felt a chill rise from my heart.
I know that Xiangxi has a kind of corpse driving technique that allows dead corpses to walk on their own. It's just that this spell is usually used to send those who have died in a foreign land back to their hometowns, but the families of these three corpses are not far from the town, and they are specified to be placed in the forest hut for three days and three nights, where is this going to be sent now?
Moreover, who is this Taoist priest?
In the moonlight, the dead man stood upright, and the Taoist priest took out three pieces of rune paper, pasted one on each of the corpses, and shook the rattle. As the bell rang, the three corpses jumped straight up and up to half a foot.
At this moment, my forehead accidentally touched a tree branch, making a slight noise, but was caught by the Taoist priest, who turned his head sharply and looked at me.
I don't want to hide in the grass and not show up. (To be continued.) )
