On January 15, 2006, there was no grand farewell ceremony, and the sky was overcast.

Ning Yun bought a coffin with a lot of money, and the material of the coffin is quite strange, the tentacles are warm, and the surface of the coffin is smooth.

In July, according to his grandfather's instructions, he stacked a firewood rack in front of the door to cremate the old man.

Zhu Beichen was puzzled to obstruct her behavior, and said: "Our funeral customs here are all to be buried after death, I don't agree with you to do this, I want to keep my grandfather's intact body in the ground." ”

July responded lightly: "This is what Grandpa asked." ”

Zhu Beichen said: "What did grandpa tell you, our old people are very obsessed with being buried. ”

July said: "You just believe me once, grandpa's body is quite special, and you can't directly put the coffin into the ground, otherwise you will have an accident in the future." Grandpa also explained that there are some things that I can't tell you. ”

Zhu Beichen groaned, his eyes covered with a faint layer of mist, and acquiesced to July's approach.

He turned around and went back to the house in tears, looking at the old man's cold body, his mood was extremely complicated.

The roaring light of the fire lit up the night sky, and the crackling sound of firewood bursting shook the mood of the three of them.

The slightest trace of black smoke filled the air, and he wondered if there was something that his grandfather needed to keep secret from him, and these could only be told to his granddaughter-in-law, who had only one relationship.

Ning Yun handed over the shovel and said, "The girl asked us to dig a grave in the back of the house, which must be completed before dawn tomorrow." ”

Why should he be buried in a hurry that night, and he must not stay until sunrise the next day, Zhu Beichen took the shovel and went to dig a pit at the back of the house without saying a word.

The firewood pile gradually burned out and extinguished, Ning Yun held the torch to shine on the field of vision, and asked puzzledly: "Girl, I don't quite understand why I am in such a hurry, and I have to... They will also be burned for burial. ”

In the funeral culture of the Wu people, the body of a loved one is incinerated to ashes after death, and the burial in the middle of the night is to prevent the body from changing after it enters the ground. Ning Yun has been by July's side since he was a child, obviously understanding the intention of July's approach.

"Don't ask, it's all arranged by grandpa on his deathbed. I have examined my grandfather's body, and if I don't, it may not only be a corpse, but also a hindrance to future generations. ”

The wood ash was so smoky that July's face was a little charcoal, and she wiped the corners of her eyes wet with tears and sighed softly.

Quietly, the starry night sky gradually darkened a lot, and the subtle changes did not attract the attention of the three of them at first.

Their emotions were immersed in endless pain because of the old man's death, until the starlight became more and more dim and showed obvious changes.

July squatted to collect his grandfather's ashes, and the grains of dust and charcoal ash were mixed together, almost unrecognizable.

She frowned and observed the rest of her limbs, and after the black ash of the outer layer was peeled off, a complete humanoid skeleton lay in the ashes of the pyre, and even two hours of fire could not melt the corpse.

How can this be, as grandpa said, his body is different from ordinary people, and he can't be burned, will it really change in the future? July couldn't hide the fear in her heart, and a little chaotic thought lingered in her mind.

"Girl... This... How could this be. Ning Yun was also scared.

"There is no choice but to collect the remains and bury them in a coffin, this kind of fire is afraid that it will not burn." July said.

The soil behind the house was soft, and within two hours, Zhu Beichen had already dug the grave pit, which was more than two meters deep, and the pits of three meters on each side were presented in front of him.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked around the front of the house with a shovel.

Zhu Beichen had tears on his face, and a wave of anger rose in his heart under his silent expression, he didn't approve of July's approach.

"How so?" He just wanted to ask July's grandfather's ashes if they had been packed, but when he saw a complete humanoid skeleton, his face suddenly sank.

He had an inexplicably strong premonition that his grandfather's death was not so simple, and it may not be as July said, he died of nature and died at the end of his life.

"Beichen, help me and carry Grandpa to the coffin." July handed over the white disposable gloves and looked at them softly, for fear of upsetting her husband.

Zhu Beichen accepted the gloves, looked at the old man's bones, threw the gloves on the ground suddenly, and went to pick up the entire corpse with his bare hands.

"Hey... How are you like this... It's dirty. The more Ning Yun looked at it, the more angry he became, and as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by July.

The charred charcoal ash was stained on his clothes, and he ignored it completely, and steadily placed his grandfather's bones neatly in the coffin.

Suddenly, Ning Yun looked at the environment in astonishment and said, "Girl, have you noticed that it is much darker now than before?" ”

The stars in the night sky will not change in any way for a period of time, and the position and brightness of the stars in the north and south will only be subject to seasonal changes.

For two hours, the starry stars gradually dimmed and hidden, leaving only seven unusually bright stars hanging in the Milky Way sky.

"Yuheng is dark, shaking the light and turning bright, and the sky has changed."

Looking at the sky in July, the light of Yuheng Star, which should have been the most dazzling among the seven stars of the Big Dipper, was dim, but instead it shook one star to replace Yuheng's position and shined greatly.

The sudden rainstorm coincidentally fulfilled the prophecy of July.

On the night of the old man's burial, lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and a sudden change occurred.

"It's not good, hurry up and nail the coffin lid and bury it immediately." July didn't know what she was worried about, but the thought arose in her heart that she had to complete the funeral steps as soon as possible.

A dazzling flash of lightning illuminated the sky and the earth as if it were day, and then thunder roared. Another lightning bolt fell, and the tiled house behind him collapsed with a strong thunderclap, and the rubble and broken tiles piled up on the ground.

The three of them were stunned!

Zhu Beichen's heart trembled violently, gritted his teeth and picked up the hammer and nails to nail the coffin, he had a premonition that something abnormal would happen in the next moment.

"Beichen, don't go over." July stopped it sharply, and all of these appliances were conductive during thunderstorms.

A thunderclap rang out again from the distant sky, drowning out July's roar in an instant.

The big raindrops shot down, thick and cold, and smashed on the faces of the three people.

About two meters away from the coffin, Zhu Beichen felt a tingling in his arm while holding the hammer, and the flashing arc sparks swirled around his body.

Behind them, July and Ning Yun suddenly gave birth to a frightened face.

At this time, a thick and powerful thunderbolt was brewing in the sky, and the electric lines were faintly visible in the sky as bright as day.

Zhu Beichen's legs began to paralyze unobeyedly, and July suddenly ran and threw him to the ground.

Then, an extremely bright beam of light streaked across the sky, followed by a deafening thunderclap.
