Chapter Seventy-Two: Changes in Ritual Affairs
With a "bang", some rice was sprinkled on my body, and even smashed my face in pain.
I looked up at the sacrificial table, and the container that had been placed on it with rice exploded.
There was an uproar around, especially those Taoist priests, their faces were even more ugly, and one of the leading Taoist priests shook his head, "This is a great omen!" We don't make this money, and if we make this money, we may lose it! ”
As he spoke, he beckoned several Taoist priests under him to start packing up their things and were about to leave.
The others were also stunned, only Wang Liwei reacted and stepped forward to stop them, "Don't go, a few Taoist chiefs, it was not easy for our village chief to live, and we want them to live better after death, so please stay." Money is not a problem, our village can also add. ”
The leading Taoist priest pushed Wang Liwei away, "Deputy Village Chief Wang, it's not that Poor Dao doesn't want to make this money, but he really doesn't dare to make it." The family teacher once warned the poor road when he was just starting out, if he encountered a broken rice vessel when mourning with someone, he must not do it again, otherwise a mistake will not be long in life. ”
After speaking, he was about to leave with a few little Taoist priests as soon as he shook off the dust, but at this time, Wang Liwei's face sank, and he glanced at the villagers next to him, and immediately more than a dozen villagers surrounded this group of Taoist priests.
The faces of several Taoist priests changed, and the leading Taoist priest looked at Wang Liwei with anger on his face, "What does Deputy Village Chief Wang mean by this?" ”
Hearing this, Wang Liwei smiled slightly and walked in through the crowd, "Governor Chen Yizhou, this is the territory of our Niulang Village, you have to do it today and you have to do it or not, if you do it, you may only die soon, but if you don't do it, we will let you go to see Marx now!" ”
In the end, Wang Liwei's face was already gloomy.
Chen Yizhou wanted to say something, but when he saw the unkind eyes of the surrounding villagers, he had to agree.
Seeing a few Taoist priests being forced to stay by them, I always felt unhappy and wanted to come forward to talk, but I was stopped by Xu Yue.
I don't know why, but now I always feel that since the death of the village chief, the villagers of Niulang Village have changed, and they have become very weird, and I can't say what has changed.
In this way, the Dharma has to be continued, Xu Yue and I also knelt down, and the container containing rice had already been replaced with a new one, as if the container had never been broken, but everyone knew that one had been broken before.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and I raised my head and looked around, and found that none of us in the seventh middle school were in the ancestral hall, as if they had disappeared.
So I stood up and asked Wang Liwei, who just said that it was too late and they were not from the village, so he told them to go home and rest first.
Although I think this statement is reasonable, I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't say what is wrong.
At this time, the ritual had come to an end, and Chen Yizhou was holding a big rooster with a red crown and a big rooster holding a peachwood sword in his hand and muttering something to the two coffins.
After reading it, Chen Yizhou threw the big red rooster on the coffin, "The rooster is here, the soul is fixed!" ”
The big red rooster obediently stayed on the coffin as if he could understand human speech, and did not make any movement.
Chen Yizhou also stared at the big red rooster, for fear that it would move something, about three minutes later, Chen Yizhou saw that the big red rooster did not move before he breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped the cold sweat that had come out of his forehead.
"Phew, fortunately nothing happened, otherwise today would really be over. However, Deputy Village Chief Wang, this money has to be increased, although it is not a big deal, we still take a certain risk. ”
At this time, Chen Yizhou had already recovered his previous breezy appearance, and began to stretch out his hand to Wang Liwei to ask for benefits.
"Daochang Chen, I have worked hard for you today, and we have offended a lot, and I ask you to forgive us for our feelings for the village chief. We'll give you double the money in a while, so for now, please go and finish the rest of the rituals together. ”
Wang Liwei looked at Chen Yizhou with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hearing that he could get double the money, Chen Yizhou also smiled, and beckoned his Taoist priests to prepare to start doing the next rituals.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
A screeching sound came from the coffin, as if someone had used their fingernails to fasten the lid of the coffin.
Quiet!
It was as quiet as death, everyone held their breath, and the huge ancestral hall was as piercing as the sound of a book coming from the coffin.
I even saw cold sweat break out on that Chen Yizhou's forehead, and his face became a little pale, as if he was going to die in the next moment.
Suddenly!
"Bang"
With a crisp sound, the coffin lid made a **, and a blue-purple paw with some white hair stretched out from the inside, and the big red rooster on the coffin lid was pulled into the small hole with a "bang".
The big red rooster screamed as if it were us, and everyone stared at the coffin for fear of any more movement.
After a few seconds, Chen Yizhou seemed to have reacted, and roared loudly, "Everyone run!" I'm afraid these two corpses are going to be transformed tonight! ”
As Chen Yizhou's voice fell, the entire ancestral hall resounded with screams and cries one after another, and everyone was running out desperately.
The entire ancestral hall was a mess for a while.
I also took Xu Yue's little hand and ran outside, but at this time, I vaguely saw a sinister smile on the corner of Wang Liwei's mouth, but it was fleeting, as if it had never appeared.
"Bang"
A gunshot stopped the people who were still running outside, and Wang Liwei appeared at the door with a gloomy face at some point, still holding a black pistol in his hand, "What are you running?" He said that if the village chief will be corpse, will he definitely be corpse? Besides, the village chief is usually so good to us, even if it is a corpse, he is also our relatives and will not harm us! ”
Wang Liwei's voice clearly echoed in our ears, and for a while, no one ran outside anymore. They were all blocked at the door, looking at Wang Liwei with a gloomy face.
Only Chen Yizhou stepped forward with a few Taoist priests and shouted, "Wang Liwei, what are you doing here?" After the corpse transformation, there is no humanity, and if you do this, you will only bury everyone......"
"Bang"
Before Chen Yizhou finished speaking, he was shot in the leg by Wang Liwei, "I, Wang Liwei, said, if anyone dares to step out of here today, the bullet in the gun will hit him in the head!" ”
At this time, no one dared to run, and no one even spoke, only Chen Yizhou screamed as he covered his bloody thighs.
I stared at the pistol in Wang Liwei's hand.
Where did his pistol come from? Why did he leave everyone here?
Thinking about all the encounters since I entered the village, I felt as if a huge conspiracy was slowly emerging.
