Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Road in the Ancestral Hall
It's sneaky when you sneak back, don't ask me anything? In the words of the fat man, this is called scaring the grass and scaring the snake.
The village is silent at night, there are many dogs in the countryside, the fat man bought a lot of pickled vegetables, this kid has a lot of ideas, as long as he meets a dog, he throws a piece of meat at it, and after a while, almost the whole village of dogs follow his ass around.
Outside the ancestral hall, the fat man covered his paper bag and waved his hand vigorously: "Go and go, it's a lot, it's not too much, it's ......not too much."
"You're fucking like a dog, and you're going to give it all away."
"Let's talk about the wind and cold, if you don't burn the knife twice in this winter, you can't freeze to death, and you can't just drink wine, and you can't eat meat. What's in your mouth, why don't you spit it out and feed it to the dogs? ”
Cha Wenbin's words to us are one word: Wait!
What are you waiting for, waiting for time!
The Taoist priest seems to be particularly fond of using the hour of the child, that is, twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, otherwise how can people deal with ghosts all year round, and only ghosts are left at that point. To say that ordinary people really can't stay in this ghost place, think about the hundreds of coffins in just one door, stacked as neatly as the dock containers, and a few of us can still drink wine and eat meat.
The fat man drank too much and talked a lot, so he didn't start to talk nonsense: "Zha Ye, will you make a noise when you go in the middle of the night?" ”
I picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth and said, "If you don't talk nonsense, no one will treat you as a dumb person, and this point has just started, oh no, it should have just been a coffin!" ”
Cha Wenbin saw that the time was almost up, so he said to me and the fat man: "After entering, only look for what you should find, and here are for their ancestors and ancestors, even if you want to make a fuss, it won't be too much of a mess." But it's always wrong to make people face their offspring, we have to get people out, and during the day I saw an abandoned hut at the entrance of the village, not far from the mine, lonely, let's get people over there. ”
The fat man's mouth couldn't spew good words: "Get? How to do it? That thing stinks worse than! ”
"Carry it out." As soon as these three words came out, I almost broke my waist with laughter, needless to say, such a beautiful errand is naturally for the fat man, who called him strong!
He wasn't stupid, and when he saw me laughing like that, he immediately said: "Anyway, I don't carry it, I do every unlucky thing, and I won't do it today!" ”
"No one will let you do it, then I'll carry it, Xiaoyi, you will be responsible for lighting it for us, and the stone will lead me with a lantern, I can say it first, I will open two roads after I go in for a while: one yin and one yang, if you go the wrong way, you won't be able to come back."
The fat man's eyes rolled, looked at me and said, "Then I'll just light it up, let Xiao Yi carry it!" ”
I only felt a cold sweat on my back when he proposed this thing, that thing really wanted me to go I was ready to surrender on the spot, but fortunately, Cha Wenbin's words relieved me: "He can't do it, they are relatives, and they are particular about carrying corpses." The elders can carry the younger generations, grow up and be able to hold down; The younger generation can also carry the elders, which is called filial piety and conformity; It's just that you can't carry it between your peers, and if you don't pay attention, you won't be able to rely on him, so either I can carry it or you will carry it. ”
The fat man was speechless for a while, and said for a long time: "That's ...... That's still your back, I'll find the way. ”
"Will you get out of the way?" Cha Wenbin asked rhetorically.
"Don't you just lead the way, there's a small house at the head of the village, it's okay, I won't lose you."
Cha Wenbin smiled and said: "Okay, then I'll carry it, if you can't find the way for a while, we'll change it." ”
"Okay, deal!" The fat man thought to himself, this can still be lost, I can touch it with my eyes closed, in a word, it is better to do any errand than to carry a corpse.
"Let's go, don't talk when you go in, don't breathe at the corpse, don't touch anything you shouldn't touch." After instructing this, Cha Wenbin took the lead in pushing the door in.
When I entered the door, a cold air rushed to my face, mixed with a musty smell and the unique fishy smell of incense and candles, which went straight to people's noses, which was completely different from when I came during the day. Cha Wenbin entered the courtyard of the ancestral hall and did not go to Zhou Bocai, but stood in front of the copper incense burner, and the two of us were right behind him, and the fat man looked east and west and whispered to me: "To be honest, I have dug a lot of graves, I really think that there is no place that can be compared with here, this place can even smell ghosts." ”
I said angrily: "Don't say anything, no one is dumb for you, you don't steal or rob when you come in, and you don't trouble you when you keep it." ”
Look at Cha Wenbin's side again, he already has an extra handful of incense in his hand, and he is using the fire to break it, and after lighting it, he divided me and the fat man into three each, and then he held the incense above his head and said: "The ancestors of the Zhou family, the descendants of the Cha family, have no relatives and no reason with the Zhou family, and they passed by here today because the descendants of the Zhou family were killed by traitors, and they came to find out the truth, so that he could turn his eyes on Jiuquan." If there is any disturbance to the rest of the immortals, the junior Cha Wenbin will once again make amends first. ”
After that, Cha Wenbin felt that the incense bowed three times on each side, and the fat man and I hurriedly followed his example, and after finishing the matter, the incense was inserted into the copper furnace, Cha Wenbin glanced at us, and touched it in the direction of Zhou Bocai's coffin.
It's similar to what I saw during the day, I have a flashlight in my hand, the kind of No. 1 battery, yellow color, white metal handle, I just bought it on the way here. When Cha Wenbin turned the body around, I happened to have the light on Zhou Bocai's face, that guy, that scene, my hair was probably taller than the person who touched the hairspray, and at that time, the flashlight fell into the coffin with a trembling hand.
Suddenly, it was dark all around, and I only heard the fat man shouting: "Ouch, my ancestor, don't be so fucking scary, okay!" ”
I hurriedly grabbed Cha Wenbin's arm and whispered, "Is Brother Wenbin here?" ”
"Hmm."
"I'm a little scared." At that time, my hands were trembling, and my arm was trembling with him, and my whole body was trembling when I spoke, "I looked at him and grinned at me......"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He only said these four words, and then I heard a sound, and then Cha Wenbin handed me the flashlight and said, "Take it, follow me, stone, it's time for you to open the way." ”
When the flashlight returned to my hand, I suddenly felt a little safe, and then I realized that there was already a corpse hanging on Cha Wenbin's back, but strangely, I couldn't even smell the slightest smell.
"Okay?" The fat man was afraid that he didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he turned his head and left, so he walked a few steps and found that we didn't come out, so he turned around and asked, "What are you doing in a daze, let's go!" ”
Cha Wenbin half-sat the body on the coffin and said to the fat man: "You didn't go right." ”
"What's wrong, please, Master Cha, don't scare me, okay? Isn't the gate over there? "The fat man pointed casually, I don't believe it if I want to say that this thing is not my own personal experience, I followed the direction of the fat man's finger to think about lighting him up, but I didn't expect the flashlight to sweep over and see, where is the door, the door is gone!
"Ghost hitting the wall?" This is the first word that pops up in my head, this word Cha Wenbin often uses, since I was a child, I have heard my grandfather say, the ghost hits the wall at this moment, this kind of place appears, I feel that it should be, just let us camel the body out that is really hell.
The fat man slipped back to our side with an arrow and said tremblingly: "Zha Ye, what's the matter...... What's going on? ”
"It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God, and when you enter the ancestral hall of the people, we are outsiders, so we can't just ask you to go out like this. Old man Zhou is a master, when he built this place, he left a little doorway, Qimen Dunjia, and used Zhuge Liang's gossip array. Back then, Zhuge could block an army of 100,000 people, but now it is not easy to trap the three of us, and I found that the coffins here are placed carefully during the day. In the four directions of southeast, northwest, and northwest, only one gate was opened in the south, but you didn't find another gate in the south. The door had been built into the wall.
The so-called "scattered into eight, reunited into one", there are six other doors in this ancestral hall, all of which are sealed into the wall. The door left behind is a door of life during the day, and it becomes the door of death at night, and the door of life here can only be opened on the fifteenth day of the first month, and its eight doors are constantly changing. On the rest of the month, this door is only in and out, which is why he wants future generations to remember the fifteenth day of the new year before entering the ancestral hall to worship, otherwise, do you think that so many coffins can be placed here for thousands of years without losing a single brick and tile? ”
The fat man can be regarded as serving Cha Wenbin: "This ...... This...... Cha Ye, can you show the way, will I take you on a journey? ”
Cha Wenbin said: "You can't take it, I said, his Qimen Dunjia who walked through the eight gates is combined with the way of the five elements of the stars, only the first fifteenth day of the first two days is the main gate in and out, and the rest of the days are to be counted." ”
"What then? If you really can't do it, you will go out over the wall! ”
"Don't underestimate here, there are eight patterns of sky, earth, wind, clouds, dragons, tigers, birds, and snakes as wall tiles, which means that there are eight formations to guard here, if you want to turn it over, you can turn it over, but I can't guarantee if you can go home tomorrow."
"What will happen?"
Cha Wenbin pointed to the corpse behind him and said, "Maybe it's the same as him." ”
The fat man's face was almost deformed, but his mouth refused to open, and finally I said: "Come on, professional people do professional work, you are a coolie life, or the original plan, you carry the corpse, Brother Wen Bin opens the way." ”
"Okay, okay, it doesn't stink anyway, I'll carry it on my back, it's a big deal to go back, you can burn me a pot of wormwood, I want to take a good bath to get rid of bad luck."
Cha Wenbin smiled: "Do you still know how to use wormwood?" ”
The fat man picked up the corpse and said, "That's it, my grandmother used to be known as Sai Xiangu!" ”
Cha Wenbin, who had his hands free, began to put things on the ground, and I saw a total of eight small stones, and he kept changing the position of those stones. Sometimes look up at the night sky, sometimes stop to look at the compass in your hand, when the stone is switched, people only feel dazzled, just like the dealer who takes pai gow in **, can simply play flowers.
After about a stick of incense, Cha Wenbin got up and said, "Okay, follow me!" ”
Then I saw that he walked in a completely different way than usual, and then I saw the same scene I saw when I was a child......
Say:
Good night, two watches today
