Chapter 47: The Ghost Road

The abbot and I followed the sound to the village. Turning a wall, I suddenly saw a bright light in front of me, and there was a crowd of people.

There is really a very simple small stage here, a man and a woman singing, without makeup or costumes, just standing in the middle of the ceremony and singing. Under the stage, many old men and old ladies sat with Mazha, shaking their heads and listening to the play.

I looked around and was immediately relieved.

I saw a large door next to the stage, and two white couplets were pasted on the door. Flags were erected, paper money was burned, and it was clear that someone had just died here. And this stage is probably set up for this funeral. This is the way it is to be customary, and it is also very common.

The abbot looked at me, "What is this?" They can't run out of coffins in their village, so give them to us? "

I shook my head: "I don't know what to do, but I always feel that this matter has something to do with the funeral family." "

The abbot asked me, "Where did the tractor go?" "

As soon as he said that, I remembered that the tractor was gone. Just now, I only paid attention to the stage, but the tractor suddenly disappeared, but I didn't find it.

The two of us were looking around. Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder: "Two friends, why are you here?" "

I looked back and saw a man standing behind me. I looked at this person's face carefully, and I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: this person was the taxi driver who called me.

I remembered what I said, it wasn't a person who called me, it was a ghost.

I felt nervous, and quietly reached into my trouser pocket and pinched the ghost charm.

The abbot greeted the driver for some reason: "You and Xu You are friends?" "

The driver nodded and said enthusiastically, "Since you're here, let's go into the house and sit down." What are you doing standing outside? Take a walk. "

I waved my hand: "No, let's go." "

But the driver couldn't help but say that he must pull the two of us in. And the direction he walked was the one who came out of the funeral.

I'm a little uneasy, this dead man, could it be a taxi driver?

So I asked him tentatively, "Are you dead?" "

The driver waved his hand: "This is not my house, but the neighbors in the street, their family has a problem, we all have to help." "

I broke free of his hand: "You called me before and said that your house was dirty, what's the matter?" "

The driver's face became mysterious: "I couldn't sleep for the first two days, and I kept dreaming about my loved ones. They said they wanted me to move and live with them. "

I looked at the driver vigilantly: "That's it?" What kind of dirt is this? "

The driver stomped his feet again and again: "Master Xu, you don't know how many years you don't know, those relatives have been dead." They told me to follow, didn't they want me to die? "

I was taken aback: "All dead people? "

The driver nodded: "It's all dead." And I dreamed for half a month, and sometimes, when I first saw them, I could react that they were dead. Sometimes, they take a few steps before they remember that they are dead. At this time, I was scared in my dreams. It's another slap on his own and a deliberate wrestling, trying his best to wake himself up. You don't know the way, these days I am scared to death every night before I go to bed, for fear that when I dream I forget that they are dead. Follow them to the underworld. "

I thought about the scene that the driver said, and couldn't help but nod: "It's really scary." "

The driver nodded again and again: "It's not just terrible, it's just too torturous." However, in the past two days, nothing has happened. Eat well and sleep well. I guess those relatives have already cut ties with me when they see that I refuse to go with them, haluha. "

I saw that the driver looked relaxed and smiled, and everything was normal. It's not like a ghost. I couldn't help but slowly relax my vigilance.

At this time, suddenly someone was calling the driver in the distance. The driver agreed, and instructed me and the abbot to say, "You wait for me for a while, sit casually, and treat it as if it were your own home." Then he trotted and ran over.

The abbot and I stood at the gate of the funeral house, and for a while I didn't know what to do.

At this moment, the door of the house opened, and out came a kind old man, who nodded at me: "Are you here?" "

I was even more surprised. This old man has never seen me, how can he know me?

The old man came over with a smile and said in my ear, "You don't know me, I know you, we are the same kind of people." "

My heart fluttered and I asked, "What kind of people?" "

The old man pulled me: "You come with me, it's not a place to talk outside." "

I looked at the spirit flag with some resistance: "Is this the place to speak?" "

The old man sighed and pointed behind me, "See for yourself." Do you think they're human? "

These words startled me, and I quickly turned around and saw those watching and singing operas, and walking back and forth under the lights. There is no shadow at all. No wonder, no wonder I felt weird when I first walked into this village.

The old man hurriedly said, "Why don't you come in soon?" By the time they found out, it was too late. "

The abbot and I didn't dare to slack off, so we hurriedly walked in.

This family is very ordinary. There was a funeral shed in the courtyard, and a coffin was placed underneath.

The old man took out a couple of stools and sat down with us.

I looked out the door with trepidation: "Those people are all dead?" "

The old man nodded: "They have been dead for a long time. Some of them have not yet arrived, so they have been wandering around the village, waiting for one day to go to the underworld to be reincarnated. "

I asked again, "What about the driver who was talking to me just now?" "

The old man laughed: "That kid has long been dead, and he still doesn't know what to do." "

This made my heart furry when I heard it.

The abbot sitting next to me had a face like white paper: "Old man, there are so many ghosts around here, why don't you run?" "

The old man pointed at me: "So, I'm just like him." I am also a Taoist priest. "

The abbot trembled and said, "The Taoist priest can't do it, and the Taoist priest can't stay in the ghost den without anything." "

The old man laughed twice and avoided answering. Instead, he asked me another question: "Xu You, it's not easy to invite you to me." It took a week to come over. "

I was a little strange: "You invited me?" When have you ever invited me? What are you asking me for? "

The old man said, "I'll ask the driver to call you first." As a result, you hung up and refused to come. "

I explained, "My master said, that call was not made by a person, of course I didn't dare to come, what if someone harmed me?" "

The old man nodded: "You are quite cautious, but the young man has just ventured into the rivers and lakes, so it is better to be cautious." Later, I sent people to deliver coffins and paper money one after another, which finally aroused your curiosity and attracted you, haluha. "

At this point, I suddenly remembered something and asked the old man, "I heard the man who delivered the coffin say that there are two dead people in the Great Temple. What does that mean? Who are the dead people? "

The old man looked like a man of great morality: "Who is the dead man?" Your master Zhang Yuan's body is lost, is it considered a dead person? The paper tie Wu Yangshou has long been finished, and he has been hiding in Tibet in the past few years, is it considered a dead person? "

As soon as I heard this, I was shocked, pointed to the old man, and stood up: "Who are you?" How do you know about my master? You got me here, what do you want to do? "

At this time, the abbot gently tugged on me.

I glanced back at him, "What's wrong?" "

The abbot's hand was hidden behind my back and he secretly pointed to the spirit shed.

At this time, I found that there was a statue hanging in the mourning shed, and the person on this statue was clearly the old man in front of me. Even the smile is exactly the same.

It's over, this old guy is a ghost too.

I didn't say a word, I pulled the abbot and wanted to run.

However, a figure stood in front of the two of us, who was the old man just now?

The two of us had no way out, so we could only ask tremblingly, "What do you want to do?" "

The old man still smiled kindly: "Don't be afraid. I'm here to help you. "

I gave the abbot a look: "How can I help?" "

The old man's face was full of pride: "I know that you have encountered something recently, so"

Halfway through his words, while he was not paying attention, the abbot and I took out the ghost charm and pasted it.

Unexpectedly, the old man fluttered lightly and shook the two of us away. Then he shouted with anger on his face: "Bastard, even if your master is here, you have to call me a senior, you are so rude?" "

Then, as soon as he flicked his sleeves, I only felt a gust of wind blowing, and I couldn't open my eyes at all, and I couldn't stand still. I stumbled and swirled in the wind, and at last time, I couldn't even breathe.

Fortunately, at this time, the old man removed the yin wind. The abbot and I were exhausted and fell to the ground, gasping for air.

The old man seemed to be angry, and said slowly: "You two don't have to be afraid, we are fellow believers, and we don't want to harm you." I have invited you here today for the sake of the curse of our faction. "

As soon as I heard the curse, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you have a way to break the curse?" "

The old man sighed: "I can't help it. But I know there is a man who can do it. "

I rejoiced, "Who is it?" "

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed at me: "It's you." "

The hope I had ignited was suddenly extinguished: "Old man, don't be joking. I won't know anything. "

The old man put his hands behind his back and said proudly: "In this life, in addition to Taoism, the old man is also a little involved in fortune-telling. Confidence is not wrong, you are the one who can save our faction. "

I was dumbfounded: "How can I save it?" "

The old man shook his head: "Then I don't know what to do." Lad, you just have to go with the flow and push the bill. "

I blinked, thinking to myself the old man's words.

Then, the old man said, "After thousands of years, it seems that the curse of our ancestors is finally going to be broken. Thanks to my teacher's teachings, I should do something about this great event. "
