Chapter 222: The Fire
After looking at it for a while, we couldn't help but be dumbfounded, because the paper money floating in the air kept turning, it stands to reason that if it is because of the wind, even if the wind does not stop, it will blow all the paper money away, such a phenomenon, the only reliable explanation should be - tornado!
If you look closely, it's a bit like it, although the paper money is not very regular, it still seems to have a central point, which is the coffin.
According to legend, a tornado is a thing that is caused by ghosts inside. When I was young, I often heard old people tell me that you should never approach a tornado, because there are ghosts inside.
Of course, to explain today's science, tornadoes are a very common natural phenomenon, simply due to the combination of hot and cold in the air.
I don't know which one is true, but the deep-rooted ideas I formed as a child still have a considerable impact on me, which means that I believe that there are ghosts in it.
The funeral crowd walked very slowly, probably mainly because the four guys carrying the coffin were too hard. I don't know why this coffin is so heavy, it looks like a thousand pounds.
It took them a long time before they reached the crossroads, and all the tornado-like paper money that had been surrounding them suddenly all fell down. Suddenly, the bodies of this group of people, on the top of their heads, and on the coffins, were all covered with paper money, and what scared me even more was that the strange suona sound stopped abruptly at this moment, and at the same time, the funeral crowd also stopped at the intersection.
Seeing this, I chuckled in my heart, wasn't they found out? Glancing at Hu San next to him, he was very calm, frowning, staring at his big eyes, and watching with relish.
Suddenly, a cluster of fire lit up, and when I looked closely, it turned out that someone was burning paper money. Three more fires were lit immediately after, one lit at each intersection.
The people who wrap the paper money are all dressed in filial piety clothes. The white figures knelt beside the fire, quite penetrating, and they didn't know what they were muttering, like bees crowing. Buzzing.
Thinking of this, I suddenly gasped, bees called? Indeed, how did I react? They're not talking, they're just buzzing.
That's weird, too! I suspect more and more that these guys aren't human at all. How can a person make such a sound?
At this time, the masked man next to the coffin was still standing there, and the distance from the coffin did not change in the slightest. Well, it seems that this talent is the core of the entire funeral procession, I don't know how deep he is, anyway, it looks like there are two hits.
After a while, the sound of suona sounded again, and the team began to move slowly, and the fallen paper money also flew again. Just like just now, it spun around like a tornado.
Although they were gone, they left behind four piles of burning paper money, and somehow the flames were still so strong that there was no need to extinguish them.
I said in my heart, why don't these people have a sense of firefighting? What if there is a fire and the village is set on fire?
Okay, I'm probably nosy, and these weird guys shouldn't be afraid of fire.
See them gone. Hu San and I glanced at each other, and it seemed that we had to jump, otherwise we would be in trouble if we lost it. Looking around the intersection in the distance, there are no houses. We had to go down to the road.
After carefully observing the surroundings, there was no movement around, and there should be no danger on the road now, but then again, it's all up to this, and I can't take care of it so much.
Hu San and I jumped off the roof. This is a very narrow alley, and if you go down the alley, you will find the intersection just now.
Fearing that we would lose it, we used the land flying method and ran to the intersection as fast as we could.
In the distance, we could see the fire burning vigorously, and we slowed down and cautiously looked back and forth, left and right, but fortunately, no figure appeared.
Walking out of the alley, the four fires illuminated the surroundings, such light was too bad for us, it was easy to be seen by others, so I didn't dare to stay, Hu San and I were ready to run over quickly, but before we could leave, I found an extremely terrifying scene.
In the fire closest to me, it was not paper money that was burning, but I could see in a trance that there was a yellow skin in it that was constantly struggling. Although it doesn't look like it's being burned, it's in a painful state like an ant on a hot pot.
Hu San and I were so shocked by this encounter that we forgot to follow the funeral procession for a while.
Looking at the other three fires, the same is true, each with a yellow skin in it, which looks the same as the one in front of him.
We watched the levy for a long time, no one spoke, I said just now how to look at this fire not extinguished, it turned out that the burning was not paper money, but yellow skin.
This discovery completely overturned my previous assumptions, this place should not be a village of goblins, at least not a village of yellow-skinned elves.
I don't know what these four fires mean, but the pain of the yellow skins in them may be a kind of punishment for them, or some kind of sacrifice.
Of course, this strange thing, maybe it's just an illusion in the fire, but in any case, the people here should not be in the same league as the yellow skin who almost killed us.
Seeing the four guys in the fire in such pain, I suddenly felt pity, I knew that goblins are not all bad, there are good and evil, good and bad, just like ghosts are not all evil ghosts.
Nowadays, some Taoist priests and other people who know how to catch ghosts and exorcise demons, many of them do not distinguish between the scriptures and the scriptures, and when they see evil things, they fight and kill them. This is especially evident in the case of those who specialize in this bowl of rice.
I've always been very opposed to this, and if those things hurt us, let's not say who is right and who is wrong, for the sake of not being the same kind of consideration, of course human beings have to be on their side, but if they just accidentally scare us, and it is not the intention to kill them, it is too inhumane.
Just as I was thinking nonsense, Hu San suddenly pulled my clothes and said, "What's wrong with you, what's the fuss?" ”
I took a deep breath and said, "Do you want to save them?" ”
When Hu San heard me say this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to have such a benevolent heart?" ”
I gave him a blank look: "How could you not have thought that I have always been very kind, okay, although we have fallen to this point, we are all harmed by these yellow skins, but we can't beat a boatload of people with a stick, and goblins are also good and bad." ”
But it's a good idea, seeing these four fires burning so strangely, the devil knows how to put them out, and we are also very dangerous, and we may be discovered by others at any time. (To be continued.) )
