Chapter 5: There is a ghost in the body
Surrounded by gray, a large space with a red coffin was placed.
Wei Lai slowly approached and removed the lid of the coffin, revealing a corpse lying inside.
The pale face was very hideous, the green eyes were wide open, and the corners of his mouth showed a weird smile, staring at Wei Lai.
Wei Lai wanted to struggle to leave, but he didn't have any strength in his body, and he couldn't even blink his eyes.
"You're here, then I'll be able to go out." The faces of the people in the coffin twisted, and slowly turned into Wei Lai's appearance, and said to Wei.
"Ahh
Wei Lai screamed, woke up and sat up suddenly, his whole body was soaked with sweat, he looked around slowly, and his whole person was sluggish.
"It's a dream, but why is it so real?" Wei Lai's lips trembled, and his hands were trembling.
Wei Lai found himself lying on the kang, the room was pitch black and filled with the smell of incense.
The door was pushed open, and two figures entered from the outside, an old man and a young girl in black robes.
Under the black robe was an old woman, supported by the girl, approaching Wei Lai.
"Village Chief." Wei Lai said in surprise that he actually saw the village chief of Cloud Mist Village.
"You're awake, is there anything uncomfortable?" The village chief stretched out his withered hand, pressed it on Wei Lai's head, and asked with a frown.
"I feel a little bit of a pain in my head, but everything else is fine." Wei Lai's eyes were fixed on the village chief, trying to distinguish the real from the fake.
Wei Lai had to be careful, he woke up from the dream, and now he couldn't distinguish between the dream and the reality, and the dream just now was just like the real thing.
If the village chief in front of him turned into a fierce ghost in an instant, Wei Lai would not be surprised at all.
"Village chief, you saved me?" Wei Lai remembered that he had fainted in the cave and saw his own face at that time.
"No, you walked back on your own." The village chief's brows furrowed even deeper, and he looked at Wei Lai and said worriedly.
"I walked back on my own? Village chief, I ......" Wei Lai was stunned, feeling a little incredible.
Before Wei Lai finished speaking, the village chief interrupted Wei Lai's words and said solemnly: "Wei boy, you will die tomorrow." ”
"What, I'm going to die?" Wei Lai was shocked and said in surprise. "I'm going to die tomorrow? Don't scare me, village chief. ”
"Your family was jumped off the beam by five ghosts, today is the sixth day, and tomorrow is your death." The village chief's expression was solemn, as if he was hiding more secrets.
"My family? Five ghosts jumping off the beam? How is this possible, my family is not cursed. Wei Lai saw the solemn expression of the village chief, and he didn't feel like he was lying to himself.
The village chief shook his head, indicating that he did not understand the situation either.
Wei Lai was dumbfounded and looked at the girl in the room, with a look of help in his eyes.
When the girl nodded lightly, Wei Lai was completely convinced, and the whole person gloomed, and repeated in his mouth: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die." ”
Wei Lai's expression was like ashes, lying quietly on the bed, his eyes open, but his eyes were very dull.
"Let's go, let him be quiet." The village chief sighed, shook his head and said.
Wei Lai didn't react in the slightest, there is a saying in Cloud Mist Village that as long as he is jumped off the beam by the five ghosts, the men in the family will not live for seven days.
And Wei Lai has only him and his mother in the house, it can be said that Wei Lai will definitely die, and no one who has experienced the five ghosts jumping off the beam can escape the curse.
At this time, a trace of coolness came from his hand, and the glazed jade pendant was always held in Wei Lai's hand.
Looking at the glazed jade pendant in his hand, Wei Lai woke up suddenly and made it up.
"Haha, the sky is endless, my Wei Daguan, I am saved."
Wei Lai kissed the glazed jade pendant, recovered from the gloom, and shouted happily.
"Saved?" The village chief looked at Wei Lai in surprise, with an expression of excitement and anticipation on his face.
Wei Lai nodded vigorously and smiled at the village chief, "Yes, I have a way to solve the curse of the five ghosts." ”
The girl next to the village chief showed surprise on her face, and then asked suspiciously: "Brother Wei, the curse of the five ghosts has lasted for a thousand years, are you sure you are not talking nonsense?" ”
"I have a solution." After speaking, Wei Lai took out the yellow scroll from the waistband of his trousers.
"What is this?" The village chief asked again suspiciously, his eyes throbbing, and he believed Wei Lai's words.
Cloud Village will be cursed for generations, and if Wei Lai has a way to lift the curse, it will be a merit for Cloud Village, and he can avoid the shadow of death in Cloud Village.
Wei Lai handed the yellow scroll to the village chief and asked, "By the way, village chief, you said I walked back by myself?" ”
Wei Lai clearly remembered that he fainted in the cave at that time, and it was impossible for him to move after fainting, unless someone occupied his body.
"I have a ghost in my body?" Wei Lai shook his head and thought about it.
In the cave, the faces that appear on the walls are exactly the same as their own, except for their eyes. and the corpse in the coffin in the dream, which finally turned into his own appearance.
The village chief saw Wei Lai's abnormal reaction and said, "I was going to ask you when you woke up, but you did come out of the altar. ”
Wei Lai knew that the altar in the village was a place for worship activities in the village, but it was a very old building, and no one knew its history, and the five ghosts were suppressed in the altar.
"You know, there is a cave in the altar, which has been surrounded by the coffins of the five ghosts, and the people in the village are forbidden to enter it, it is said that this cave is in the direction of the forbidden barren mountain, but no one dares to explore it." The village chief said to Wei.
Wei Lai's eyes widened, and he stammered: "Forbidden barren mountain? I...... I ...... from the altar cave Come out? ”
The cave in the altar is the most mysterious place in Cloud Village, it is in the center of the coffin of the five ghosts, and the people who have entered it have never come out.
The Forbidden Barren Mountain is the deepest part of Cloud Village, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, only the woman who held the baby boy and Zhang Warlock have entered, but the two have never come out.
"I see, the stone room in the cave is where Warlock Zhang cultivates, and the heartbeat under the stone bed ......" Wei Lai shuddered, and he didn't dare to think about the things in the ancient cave.
Wei Lai told the village chief about the strange things he had encountered, and the village chief's brows furrowed again, and he said:
"Wei boy, according to the green skin scroll, the five ghosts are your ancestors, and when Yang Balang lost the battle and returned to the village, the men of the Wei family were not cursed, and later the village reconciled with the Wei family and married the cursed woman in the village, which means that his bloodline will be half cursed."
After the village chief finished speaking, he looked at Wei Lai, Wei Lai stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and said in surprise: "You mean that the Wei family has never had that half-chance curse, and I was unlucky enough to be cursed?" ”
After speaking, Wei Lai was very indignant, feeling a little ridiculous, and said: "I'm actually an unlucky guy, the curse that doesn't appear for a thousand years has made me catch up, how can I not be so lucky to catch the lottery." ”
The girl beside the village chief stepped forward and comforted: "Brother Wei, don't worry about it, can't you lift the curse, you are also very lucky." ”
Seeing that Wei Lai's mood had stabilized, the village chief continued: "Your Wei family has never cursed before, but I guess that the souls of those who died because of the curse are not scattered, and the strong resentment and jealousy have made your Wei family continue to have strange things, and you were almost killed by those ghosts last night. ”
Thinking back to the events of last night, I couldn't help but shudder.
"Let's solve the curse of the five ghosts first, by the way, what is my mother doing now?" Wei Lai asked.
The village chief looked stunned and said, "It seems that I am preparing a coffin for you." ”
Wei Lai's expression changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Oh no, don't choose a cemetery for me." ”
After speaking, Wei Lai rushed out of the house and ran towards his home.
"Grandma, what's wrong with choosing a cemetery, why is Brother Wei so anxious?" The girl in the room asked.
The village chief looked at Wei Lai's distant figure, and said thoughtfully: "After choosing the cemetery, you will put your name in the book of life and death, even if the person concerned does not die, the king of Hades will let you die." ”
The girl covered her mouth in surprise and said in horror: "If Aunt Wei chooses a cemetery for Brother Wei, wouldn't Brother Wei be ......?"
The village chief nodded slowly, narrowed his eyes, and said in contemplation: "Wei Xiaozi himself didn't find out that the things left by the blue-eyed yellow fairy were completely used by him, otherwise he wouldn't have understood this." ”
After the village chief finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and the girl on the side did not make a sound to disturb, and the house was completely quiet.
When the village chief opened his eyes, looked at the yellow scroll in his hand, and said with some surprise: "Wei Xiaozi's life has been changed, and in this life, there are strange things around him. ”
