The other three nodded, and came to the grave, where it had rained lightly in the second half of the night, and the soil on the ground was damp at this time, and raindrops were falling from the trees in the grave with the wind.

Li Bai tightened his coat and said, "Where do we start?" ”

Uncle Li motioned for everyone to wait first, and then looked back and forth, left and right, and said: "This tomb has been around for many years, and it is surrounded by lonely mountains and wild trees, deserted, and not popular at all, so it is inevitable that many lonely souls and wild ghosts will disturb you." ”

Li Bai looked around and asked nervously, "Lonely Soul Wild Ghost?" They... Now around? ”

Uncle Li smiled slightly: "The so-called lonely souls and wild ghosts are everywhere, how can you be sure that when you sleep, there will not be a friend squatting next to you staring at you with a smile?" ”

Li Bai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and squeezed out an embarrassing smile.

"Go to the tree and break a branch for me." Uncle Li said to Jin Guo.

Jin Guo walked to a tree next to him, stood on tiptoe and broke off a branch that was not long, and handed it to Uncle Li.

Uncle Li removed the excess leaves and sticks from the branches, leaving only a bare stick. took out a small box from the satchel again, Li Bai was curious, and stepped forward to take a look, only to see that the box looked like grease and other things, sticky and sticky, Uncle Li used a small stick to stick a little grease, and shook it in the air so that the grease could dry.

"What is this?" Li Bai felt novel.

"You sniff." Uncle Li held the locket up in front of Li Baibi.

Li Bai was not ambiguous, and sucked at the thing suddenly, and a fishy smell rushed into the head cavity along the nasal cavity.

Li Bai grinned with disgust and said, "This seems to smell bad." ”

Uncle Li hehe, he said, "Almost, this is corpse oil." ”

"What?!" The three of them were shocked at the same time, and Li Bai, who had been in direct contact, was even more shocked.

Uncle Li had a rare and strange expression: "What are you doing?" I don't know what corpse oil is? ”

"Uncle... Are you talking about corpse oil or oil... I think I heard it wrong..."Li Bai was a little incredulous.

"Corpse, corpse of corpse, come, read to me, corpse~" Uncle Li teased.

"Okay, okay, I hear you." After Li Bai finished speaking, he felt sick in his heart, and ran to the side and retched.

Uncle Li shook his head with a smile, walked to the grave with a small stick, drew a circle around the tomb with a small stick, and surrounded the grave and the tree.

"What is this for?" Lei Baoquan asked.

"Draw a territory, or these 'friends' outside will come to make trouble." Uncle Li said while drawing.

"Then why use corpse oil?" Jin Guo was puzzled.

"This is also to use yin to rule yin, so that the little ghosts in this place know that there is a newcomer, or a person they don't know, and they want to do something here, so they don't dare to approach." Uncle Li said slowly after drawing a circle.

"What corpse oil is so powerful?" Li Bai asked again.

"You think it's ordinary corpse oil? This is my great-grandfather's, that's why I'm so smart. Uncle Li replied with some pride.

"Was... Great-grandfather? Your great-grandfather? Lei Baoquan exclaimed.

Looking at their surprised expressions, Uncle Li waved his hand: "Don't make such a fuss, what is this?" You haven't seen anything more powerful. ”

After speaking, Uncle Li took out a wad of burning paper from his satchel and squatted down outside the circle.

Seeing that Uncle Li lit the fire, Jin Guo hurriedly said, "Uncle, it's not safe to do this, right?" There are trees all around here, so if it catches fire, it's very serious. ”

"It doesn't matter, this fire is very small." Uncle Li lit a fire as he spoke, the strange thing is that the flame is very small, even if several pieces of paper are burned at the same time, it is just a fire smaller than a fist, unhurriedly devouring the burning paper in Uncle Li's hand.

"What's going on?" Li Bai asked.

"Shhhh Uncle Li said in a low voice, Li Bai immediately stiffened his face, looked around, and there was nothing.

After the paper was burned, Uncle Li clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Cut it." ”

"Okay? Just that is? Li Bai was still curious.

"A place has rules for a place, the living and the dead share a place, but they don't interfere with each other, the living have rules, and of course the dead have them. How could the gloom of this place make you move its place casually? So if you want to do something, you have to send it some money, just like our rules. Uncle Li said leisurely.

"Oh, I know, that's what money can do?" Li Bai shouted.

"Almost, let's do it." Uncle Li urged.

The three of them took out the prepared axes, shovels and other tools, and Jin Guo asked, "Will this casual digging break people's coffins?" ”

Lei Baoquan looked at the tree and said, "This is a small tree, the roots should not be deep, let's dig it carefully, always pay attention to the point." The three of them began to cut off the trunk of the tree, and the core of the trunk had turned black and rotted.

Uncle Li looked at it and said, "This tree has become like this, how much resentment the old people in it have." ”

Jin Guo and Li Bai were busy sweating, took off their coats, and began to dig the roots of the tree, digging back and forth for about five or six minutes, it was already more than a meter deep, and the roots of the tree were already a little outcropping.

"I saw it, I saw it, and the tree didn't grow deep." Li Bai shouted.

Then another shovel went down, and suddenly there was a "click", only to feel that the shovel hit a hard object.

"It looks like there are stones, wait a minute." Li Bai took away the shovel, pulled away the soil under his feet with his hands, and sure enough, he touched a hard thing, "There are really stones, how did the family bury them at that time?" Even the stones were buried in it. Li Bai complained as he dug open the soil next to him with his hands and pulled out the stone.

As soon as he pulled it out, he shocked everyone around him into a cold sweat, only to see that Li Bai had spent a long time pulling out a skull from the soil!

"Ahh When Li Bai saw the skull on his hand covered with mud, he threw it aside in fright and sat on the ground.

"It's... This... Dead man's head! Li Bai shouted.

"Shout what? Who doesn't know it's a dead man's head? This should be the corpse of the old man. Uncle Li walked over, gently picked up the skull, and slowly brushed the dirt on it.

"Isn't there supposed to be a coffin?" Jin Guo said.

Lei Baoquan looked at this situation and judged: "It should be that when the family buried the old man, it may be that the time was in a hurry, or it may be for other reasons, they did not use a coffin, but simply dug a pit and buried the old man." ”

"What kind of children are these! If you disrespect the elderly so much, you should make them unlucky! Li Bai was very angry when he heard this.

"Don't worry, did you shovel it with a shovel just now? And threw away people's heads? Uncle Li squinted his eyes and asked Li Bai.

"I ......" Li Bai was speechless, and it seemed that he was the most unlucky now.

"Apologize." Uncle Li said.

Li Bai hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to the skull in Uncle Li's hand, and said, "Old man, I'm really sorry for making you frightened." ”

Uncle Li glanced at him and said, "Why are you bowing to me?" I'm not dead. After a while the tree is dug up, I will apologize for burning paper to the old man. ”

Li Bai didn't dare to slack off because he offended the old man, and he did his best when digging the tree, and after twenty minutes of hard work, he finally shoveled the remaining tree roots.

Uncle Li put the skull back into the soil again, let the two people fall to the ground, and a half-new grave was "born".

Lei Baoquan tidied up the weeds next to the grave again, straightened the tombstone, and finally had the appearance of a tomb.

Uncle Li took out another wad of burning paper, divided it among the three people, and said, "Burn it for him, say something nice." Then he took out a piece of yellow rice paper from his bag, wrote a few words on it with a red oil pen, and burned it for the old man along with the burning paper.

Li Bai muttered in a low voice while burning: "Old man, you don't remember the villain, I offended you just now because I helped you cut down the tree, I didn't mean to shovel your head, you must be aware of everything, thank you very much." ”

There was a cold wind blowing around, which made everyone get goosebumps.

"Come closer, and don't let the wind blow the paper away." Uncle Li said. Four people gathered in a circle, surrounded by a fire in the middle, and smoke was in a flurry of smoke. People who didn't know it thought that these four people were barbecuing at the bottom of the mountain.

The fire was getting smaller, the fire was already ashes, everyone stood up and bowed deeply to the grave, and at this time, suddenly a melodious wolf cry came from the mountain next to it, and the voice was desolate and tactful, as if it was a response to the four people.

"Old man, we don't want you to stay alone in this barren mountain and wilderness, no way, we are not your relatives, and we are not qualified to help you move, we just hope that your children and grandchildren will find out one day, and then take you to a good place." Uncle Li said with a sigh.

On the way to the car, Lei Baoquan and Jin Guo asked Uncle Li for some customs and taboos, and Li Bai, who was walking at the end, looked at the mountain while walking, but what he thought in his heart was: There are really wolves on this mountain!
