Chapter 123: Dark Shadows on a Rainy Night
I caught a glimpse of the faces peeking out of the window, and it was as if I had been pricked by a needle, nervous to death, but unable to move. The old man seemed to know nothing, raised his eyes to look at the Buddha, and with a gurgling sound in his throat, he swallowed the strip of cloth he was chewing, and said, "Speak, show you something." ”
I couldn't answer, so I wanted to kick him out, but I couldn't do it, and my body was sore, as if he was soaked in a vinegar vat. The old man squatted on the ground and continued: "I have burned people here all my life, old and young, male and female, there are many people who have burned and know more, if you have anything to know, ask me." ”
I gritted my teeth, feeling like a demon, but I couldn't break free, and could only listen to his mouth full of nonsense.
"There is a year, how long has it been, I can't remember, there is a melon planter, pull over a dead man, like a monk, bald, and scarring, he died in the melon field of the melon planter, the melon grower was afraid, secretly buried him, who knows, the next day, the dead monk was lying in the melon field again, the melon planting was scared, buried the second time overnight, who knows the third day, the dead monk is still lying next to his shack, finally, there is no idea, scared to die or live, so he pulled the dead monk to the man-making field, and asked me to burn it." The old man lowered his head, and while speaking, he drew a bald monk on the ground, and said: "I added coal to the kiln, and threw the dead monk in it, and the big bellows more than one person high was whirring and pulling, and I came over for a long time, I estimated that it was almost there, and when I opened the kiln door, I saw that the dead monk was still lying in the fire." I added coal and burned it again, and it burned for three days, and the dead monk was finally burned, and there were no ashes, and there was an extra mirror in the kiln. ”
The old man withdrew his hand, the flesh on his fingers was rotten, and he didn't know where he could find a mirror on his body, it was a very strange mirror, dusty and dusty, about the size of a plate.
"I'm strange, I fished out the mirror in the kiln, and later, I knew, this mirror is ghostly." The old man stroked the mirror and said, "If you want to know something, you can see it in this mirror if you think about it in your heart." At that time, the flood washed my wife away, there was no news for three years, I burned people every day, and I thought about her every day, I don't know if she is dead or alive, I took this mirror, and I looked, I was angry and happy, the mother-in-law was alive, remarried to a place four or five hundred miles away from here, cooked for others and gave birth to babies, and the days could be moisturized. Young man, what do you want to know? ”
I can't tell what I think in my heart, it's all about this old man's vigilance, but as soon as he said this, many people suddenly appeared in my heart, including old ghosts, grandfathers, Xiao Jiuhong, Qiqi, Yitian, Jinbao and Maitreya, there are too many things I want to know, and those things are like a heavy burden, which has been pressing on my heart. At that moment, my guard suddenly lightened a lot.
"Look at it, look at this mirror, and you can see what you want to know."
The old man slowly turned the mirror over and held it up in front of me, and the mirror was gray, but when the old man lifted it up, I immediately saw that there seemed to be several figures in the mirror.
All of them are people I was thinking about in the morning, including old ghosts, grandfathers, and Xiao Jiuhong. These people stood side by side, each with their own expressions, and I was immediately intrigued. I saw my grandfather's mouth open, as if he was about to say something, but the voice was so muffled and low that I couldn't hear it clearly.
Suddenly, my neck seemed to move suddenly, and without hesitation, I reached over to the mirror to hear what my grandfather was saying. The sound was always mosquito-like and inaudible, and at the end, I almost put my face on the mirror.
Wow
The figures on the mirror suddenly flashed, all turned around and walked towards the back, walking farther and farther, I was anxious, those are the people I care about every day, even if I can't see them, even if it's just a shadow, it makes me extremely nostalgic. I was in a hurry, and I leaned in, as if I had plunged into the mirror.
There was a sharp tightening on his neck, and he suddenly lost his breath. At this time, a loud shout woke me up from my ignorance, and I opened my eyes excitedly, and the old man in front of me was gone.
"Get out!" The big-headed Buddha leaned against the corner of the wall, his eyes were like copper bells, and he looked at the corpse on the beam: "Twelve hanged ghosts, all of them ran to you alone in the end!" No wonder he dared to do it in front of Lao Tzu! ”
I was completely awake, and at the same time, my heart was tight, and I don't know when I had a rope around my neck, and the other end of the rope was on the beam, and it was tightening little by little. The big-headed Buddha roared, and the rope didn't move, he got up and walked over, pulled the rope around my neck, and with a lot of force, both hands broke the rope.
The rain outside the window was still heavy, but the thunder had completely disappeared, and the Buddha threw a handful of firewood into the fire, walked under the corpse hanging from the beam, and reached out to pull it down. The neck of the corpse was rigidly encased in the rope noose, and as soon as the big-headed Buddha exerted his strength, the corpse suddenly turned his head in a different place.
"Burn you to ashes! There is Lao Huai in the field of transformation again, you will never want to get out! The Buddha raised his hand and threw the headless corpse into the fire, and kicked the head that was rolling on the ground. Firewood was added to the fire, and it burned vigorously, and as soon as the corpse was thrown in, it sizzled, and a foul smell spread out. The big-headed Buddha clapped his hands, snorted coldly, and said to me, "Boy, you have some eyes!" Just like you, how will you come out and mix in the future? ”
I was a little ashamed and unconvinced, and said in my heart that if the Zhenhe mirror was hung on my body, such a hanged ghost would definitely not trouble me, and nine times out of ten it would be entangled with Lei Zhenren.
This time, I couldn't sleep anymore, and I didn't know when the heavy rain would stop. The smell in the house was getting worse and worse, and we couldn't help but run outside to get some air. But before he could get out of the house, a huge black shadow suddenly seemed to cross the rain curtain, rushing through it like flying.
"What's that!" Lei Zhenren pointed to the fleeting shadow in the rain curtain and said loudly: "What is that!" Still flying! ”
"Shut up!" The big-headed Buddha covered Lei Zhenren's mouth vigorously, and the huge shadow flashed in front of him, and the three of us all saw it in our eyes, one person had an illusion, and it was possible, but the probability of three people having an illusion together was quite slim.
rumble
A huge shadow flew by, and then there was a muffled sound from there, as if a wall had been violently knocked down. We didn't dare to go far, so we hid by the door and watched. The light was so dim that I was hesitating whether I should turn on the flashlight to see it clearly, and I was afraid that the light would cause something to happen. But the big-headed Buddha did not have a taboo, grabbed a flashlight and shone it over there.
The dim light passed through the rain curtain, and the scene not far away looked a little unclear. But I noticed that one of the three large kilns that had been used to burn people in the middle of the place seemed to have been knocked down by something. The big kiln of the Huaren Field is usually sealed, because people are burned to death every day, and the opening of the kiln door will make people feel unlucky, even the old helpers in the Huaren Field are very careful, and if they can not open the kiln door, they will definitely not open it. But at this time, the door of the large kiln in the middle was completely knocked down.
"What about the shadow that flew by!" Lei Zhenren still couldn't help but mutter: "It's as square as a brick, and it has no wings, how can it fly!" ”
The big-headed Buddha didn't speak, but when he looked at it, his brows furrowed, and he didn't move while holding the flashlight. He didn't move, and Lei Zhenren and I didn't dare to move, so the three of them froze by the door and continued to watch.
The thunder and the wind all stopped, and only the rain kept falling. The ears of the big-headed Buddha are also very sensitive, and suddenly he turned his flashlight and shone towards an old locust tree next to the Huaren field. There was no wind, but the old locust tree, which had grown for many years, seemed to be shaken by something, and its trunk and branches and leaves were shaking in the rain. Almost at the same time, the flashlight shines through the rain curtain, illuminating a dense group of figures gathered under the old locust tree.
"Lao Huai locks the yin, that's not a person." The Big-Headed Buddha remained silent and continued to observe. There are countless people who have burned in the chemical field, and they can't run away after burning, and they are crushed by the four old locust trees in the four corners. After illuminating this old locust tree, the big-headed Buddha turned the light again and moved to another old tree, and a dense shadow also appeared under the second old tree.
Those things that are pressed by the old locust tree can't be kept away, and can only be moved in the human field. I felt a pang of nervousness, and my first thought was that the Big-headed Buddha burned the hanged ghosts in the house to attract these things to appear. But after waiting for a while, I found that my judgment was wrong, and dense shadows appeared under the four old locust trees, and those shadows seemed to be ownerless ghosts, and they shook around the old locust tree blankly for a while, and then they all turned around and walked slowly towards the big kiln that had collapsed the door of the kiln.
"What are these things for! Why did you go that way!? The more Lei Zhenren looked at it, the more surprised he became: "This kind of thing, my ancestor and father have never mentioned it."
"If you mention your grandfather again, Lao Tzu will let you go to see them now!" The big-headed Buddha hated Lei Zhenren's mouth, and let out a low snort to shut him up, and then stared at the group of things walking towards the big kiln.
The things were almost uncountable, and he staggered to the side of the kiln. The large kiln is surrounded by black soil, mixed with cinder and sand, and it is very loose when it is rained. A shadow seemed to be silently led to the side of the big kiln, surrounded by a circle, at this time, the soil layer of two or three places around the big kiln arched upwards at the same time, and the two or three corpses under the soil layer that I don't know how many years have been abandoned have come out like bamboo shoots.
Those are all bones that were inadvertently thrown into the soil by the incarnation field, and they may have been incomplete when they were buried, and after so many years, they crawled out at this moment, and they were completely a pile of scattered bones that were barely put together. The two skeletons, stained with cinders, like puppets, slowly crawled to the door of the kiln that had been knocked open, and then got in.
"What are they doing in the kiln?" Lei Zhenren endured a few endurances, but he still couldn't hold back, muttering quietly.
