Chapter 0097: The Tomb of the Living
At this time, there were a lot of people gathered in the courtyard, and what I didn't expect was that there were really no lights here, probably because it was too remote, after all, it was separated by a barren mountain and that terrifying dense forest.
The old man sat on the ground and stared at me.
This is not our trouble, because Mu Ruohua and I really saw his photo on the tombstone, behind the tombstone is a new grave, only the dead will be buried there, so at that time, I was very sure that he was not human.
"Master Wei, what's wrong?"
The fat man and Big Tooth also woke up, and were startled when they saw the formation outside, and someone brought a stool, and the old man was helped to get up from the ground and sit on the stool.
"I don't blame them, people will definitely think I'm a ghost when they see that kind of thing."
When the old man spoke, there was no reaction on the faces of the people around him, and I was sure that they all knew about it, and this was the abnormal place, why would a person who was not a human being should be allowed to stay in the village.
The old man who pushed me just now came over, he should be in his fifties, and he still has a lot of strength in his hands, "Fortunately, my third uncle didn't break it, otherwise no one would want to leave." ”
At that time, I sighed in my heart, this time it is lucky, the people here are simple, and the old man's health is also good, if it is in our city, let alone falling to the ground, even a little touch is a big trouble.
"Tell them."
"Got it, Third Uncle."
The man agreed, "All you see is an empty grave, because my third uncle has no children, and according to our customs, the old man who has no descendants may not be able to come up at any time and disappear, so as long as he is over seventy years old, he must prepare a coffin for himself, and choose a good location to make a tombstone, so as not to leave trouble for others in the future." ”
"Graves for the living?"
It's the first time I've heard of this, because many places have different customs.
"Yes, you may think it's incredible, you have also seen that in a place like ours, young people are going out, and in the end we are left with old people, people are dead, and there is no one to send them to the end, if you don't prepare a coffin and a grave for yourself in advance, what can you do!"
The man sighed after speaking, his eyes showed a little helplessness, this fact may be just a microcosm, I have seen that kind of look before, it is Tianqiao Town, almost the same as here, the young man would rather suffer in a big city, live in a basement of more than ten square meters than return to his hometown.
"I'm sorry, uncle, we were mistaken."
"It's okay, I don't blame you." The old man took the talisman I had just taped to his head and looked at it, "As long as you can help us remove the curse of the village, it will be worth it even if we fall to our death." ”
"By the way, uncle, what were you looking at there just now?"
I was a little curious, because when Mu Ruohua and I came back, the old man stood at the door and looked inside, it was very dark inside the house at that time, in fact, he couldn't see anything when he stood outside.
The old man surnamed Ge nodded, "Because of your business, I couldn't sleep, so I came out to take a look, and I saw a woman standing in the door." ”
"Female?"
The old man nodded, "I began to think that my eyes were spent, and when I got closer, there really was one, wearing a white dress, we people here would never wear this kind of clothes, I shouted, and the woman looked back at me and went in, I walked over to see, and you came back." ”
"It's the two of you?"
The long legs shook their heads, and the other female college student also shook her head, "We have been sleeping in the house, and when we heard the voice, we found that Sister Mu was missing, and I came out to take a look because I was worried that something would happen." ”
The two of them shouldn't be able to lie, and when we returned, the old man was standing in the same room where the three of us slept.
"Did she see what she looked like when she looked back?"
The old man shook his head, "I didn't see it clearly, her face seemed to be covered with something, and it was a little dark at the time, so I didn't see it clearly." "I know, the woman with something on her face must be the female ghost in the rouge box, what I didn't expect was that this old man could see her.
When I was a child, I heard my grandmother mention that there are two kinds of people who can see things that ordinary people can't see, one is a child, sometimes they will say some wonderful things, and adults will generally stop or think that they are lying, but in fact, they really see it, but adults can't see it, and the other is a person who is about to die.
"It's okay."
By this time it was already dawn, and we were no longer sleepy, so I proposed to go to the cemetery to the west, I did not know about the curse, and the strange things in the village were probably due to feng shui problems, and most likely the place where the dead were buried.
The people in the village led the way in front, and the old man also followed, don't look at the age, he walked very steadily, he was really glad at the time, if he fell and was injured, he would really get into big trouble.
Soon we came to the cemetery on the west side of the village, and I looked up from below, it was on the west side of a small hill, unobstructed from front to back, left and right, with trees on top of it, and their branches swaying in the wind.
The so-called feng shui, look at one is the wind, the other is water, for the feng shui selection I only know a little, if the dead can be buried in the kind of wind and water flow in the place, will inevitably enrich the descendants.
There is a wind coming in, the yin qi will not condense, the cemetery should be fine, I looked up and looked up, it was at the top of the hillside, as if there was a hole, and there were stones underneath.
"Can you go up and have a look?"
"Okay."
We climbed up the path in the middle of the graveyard until we reached the top of the barren slope, and it was then that I realized that the stones were definitely not left here by natural cause.
The stones are arranged in the form of characters, and there are a lot of words carved on them, strange shapes, some similar to symbols, and a stone in the middle is just located in front of the cave entrance.
"What is this hole for?"
"I heard my grandfather say that there is an official of the Qing Dynasty buried here, and our village here was built by this person, and he was buried here after he died, and when he was a child, my grandfather told me that I must not touch this thing."
Bang bang twice, the two birds suddenly went crazy and flew straight over, crashed into the edge of the stone cave at once, struggled a few times and died, there was something strange in this hole, and the curse in the village was probably related to what was buried inside.
I was about to go over, but the old man stopped me and said, "No, this place must not be touched." ”
"I'm sure the curse in the village has something to do with it."
"Go, no curse, go quickly." The old man suddenly shouted, and then pushed me harder, and at that moment he was surprisingly strong.
"Li Wei, let's go."
There was no way, we could only come down from above, I couldn't help but look back, the old man and the villagers were kneeling in front of the cave entrance, and kept kowtowing.
At the entrance of the dark hole, I saw a bird fall directly into the sky, and the hole seemed to have a suction force.
"See what?"
"There should be something wrong with the body buried inside, but unfortunately, they won't let me move, and I can't do anything."
"It's people's own business, we can't take care of it, go back and eat something, and if it's okay, continue on the road."
"Okay."
Mu Ruohua was in a hurry to find his father, he definitely didn't want to waste time in such a place, and we had already wasted a lot in the stone tomb.
We walked back to the village, took out our bag from the house, there was food and water in it, and we ate a little bit, the whole village was quiet, and those people had not come back yet, when I saw a man running in in a panic.
"Go and see, third uncle, he's in." The man who ran in from the outside was the man we saw this morning.
"Where?" I asked.
"Stone cave, we can't stop you when you enter the stone cave."
"Fatty, big teeth, guy."
I picked up my bag and ran out with my peachwood sword in my hand, Fat Man and Big Tooth following with sticks in their hands, and we ran through the graveyard back to the place where we had been this morning.
The villagers were all there, but the old man who was missing this morning, and my instinct was right as to why the old man could see the female ghost in the rouge box.
Only people who are dying can see what they can't usually see, an old man who tried his best to prevent me from entering, at this moment, because of what, he walked into the eerie and terrifying grave alone.
