Master's appearance frightened me, and I didn't dare to speak for a while when I stood aside, I had never seen Master so nervous.

Second Master Qi obviously sensed the seriousness of the situation, and stammered and asked, "Is this ...... What does this lightning strike say......"

The master sighed and said: "If the thing reaches the yin, it will lead to thunder, and the lightning strike locust wood is the wood of the yin, Ma Laoqi is contained in this yin ghost coffin, and the corpse will naturally change, and now it is just a corpse, and when the first seven are over, I am afraid that it will come out to harm people." ”

As soon as the master finished speaking, Bai Xiaowu, who was standing next to the coffin, was so frightened that he took a few steps back, and sat down on the ground with a slump of his buttocks, and Second Master Qi also trembled slightly, and he didn't know if he was afraid or blown by the cool breeze in this room.

"Namo...... Mo Daochang, what should I do now? Second Master Qi asked in a daze.

The master frowned and groaned for a while, and said, "Open the coffin!" ”

"What? Open...... Open the coffin!? This...... Does this still have to be opened? When Second Master Qi heard that the coffin was going to be opened, he was startled, and he stammered a little when he spoke.

Master nodded: "Of course I have to open the coffin to see, I have to know to what extent he has been degenerated, if he doesn't understand the situation and does things indiscriminately, not only can he not drive away the evil spirit, but it will also make him even worse, do you think such a wooden coffin can seal him at that time?" ”

Second Master Qi's face was like earth, his eyes were fixed on the coffin placed in the center of the hall, and he didn't speak for a long time. After a long while, he said incoherently, "That...... Then I'...... No! No! Xiao Wu, you ...... You go! Go to ...... Call more people to ......"

As soon as Bai Xiaowu heard that he was asked to call someone, he got up and ran out, who knew that he was running too fast, but he didn't notice the half-foot-high threshold, stumbled under his feet, and fell into the mud.

Seeing this, Second Master Qi couldn't help but scold: "This little rabbit cub was so frightened by his uncle that he lost his soul!" ”

Looking at Bai Xiaowu's embarrassed appearance, I wanted to laugh but couldn't, because at this moment, I was also scared to death in my heart, my lips trembled, and my palms broke out in cold sweat. Although I have been with Master for so long, I am only eight years old after all, an eight-year-old doll, can I not be afraid of this kind of thing!

Taking advantage of Bai Xiaowu's stall to call someone, the master put on his robe, and asked Second Master Qi for Ma Laoqi's birthday, and asked me to take out the compass and place it next to the wooden coffin, and then took out a string of copper bells that looked a little old, but were quite delicate.

Master once told me the origin of this bronze bell, saying that it was a magic treasure handed down by his ancestors, which was made of fragments of the demon subduing tripod cast by King Dayu for the town of the river demon, and its bell can drive away demons and subdue demons. I don't know who the king of Dayu is, and I don't believe in such a mysterious statement, but I like this string of copper bells very much, according to the master, when he first picked me, I have been crying non-stop, but every time he shakes the copper bell, I immediately stop crying, since then, the master will hang this string of copper bells around my neck, has become my favorite toy. Later, he returned to his old business and became an onmyoji, and only then did he take the copper bell back and use it as a magic weapon, for which I was sulking for a long time, and Zuihou still used a big bowl of pork belly to coax me.

Bai Xiaowu went, and he didn't come back after a long time, Second Master Qi had been sitting on the half-foot-high threshold and smacking dry smoke, and his face was getting more and more ugly. Half an hour later, I was so hungry that I raised my head and whispered to Master, "Master, when can we eat, I'm so hungry!" "Don't say it's roast chicken now, even if it's two white-flour steamed buns.

Before the master could answer, Second Master Qi suddenly stood up, rushed out of the house with an arrow, and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Xiao Wu, you rabbit cub, let you go and ask someone to grind for so long, and don't let Lao Tzu come back!" Also, who has a young labor force, there is one out of one! All for Lao Tzu to come to the old house! ”

Second Master Qi's voice was really not covered, his roar, the whole valley echoed, but after ten or so minutes, twenty or thirty young men gathered outside the door of the old house, all of them were holding hoes, flat shoulders or something, all of them looked nervous, as if they were going to fight with someone.

"You bunnies, you have to roar a few times before you are willing to come! Still guys, what do you want to do......" Second Master Qi is indispensable to give a good training to the guys.

After all, he is the village chief, no one dares to talk about this lecture, they all bow their heads, and when he is almost finished, the master interjects and says: "Second Master Qi, let's open the coffin!" ”

"Yes, yes! Open the coffin! Come in, all of you! Second Master Qi shouted at everyone.

Seeing this, the master hurriedly stepped forward to stop everyone: "Slow down first!" It doesn't take so many people to open the coffin, and there are some taboo things I have to talk about first! ”

"Daoist Mo, what's the taboo?" Second Master Qi asked on the side.

The master stroked his goatee and said, "Ma Laoqi's zodiac year belongs to the monkey, the month belongs to the dog, the hour belongs to the pig, the monkey and the tiger clash with each other, the dog clashes with the dragon, and the pig clashes with the snake, so the people who belong to the tiger, the dragon, and the snake all need to avoid, and he has the five elements of gold, gold and wood, and fire and gold, so the people who belong to fire and wood must also avoid." ”

Second Master Qi was stunned for a moment: "There are so many exquisitenesses? Then this has to be right! Otherwise, I'll just open a coffin anyway, and when it opens, they can go out quickly. ”

"No, this thing must not be sloppy, you have to pay attention to it!" Master's attitude was very resolute.

Second Master Qi was a little helpless, this pair of eight characters is not a matter of a while, he discussed with the master, decided to eat first, and by the way, let the guys write down their birthdays.

Maybe it was because I was so hungry, although the lunch was not as much as the roast chicken that Master said, but I felt that this meal was simply a delicacy in the world, so delicious that I swallowed three bowls of rice like a wolf, so that after many years, I would still miss this meal from time to time, of course, or I was just missing Master, because it was also a meal that I had with him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the eight characters were all right, and the master selected the six people who were most compatible with Ma Laoqi's eight characters from among the boys, and it was also a coincidence, and the timid Bai Xiaowu was one of them.

The six young men who were chosen all turned pale and depressed, as if they wanted them to go to war, while those who were not selected were all happy and gloating, and they refused to leave, and followed them to the old house, and gathered around the door to watch the excitement.

There were many people standing in front of the door, and the room, which was not very bright, became more and more dim, the master frowned, turned his head and said to everyone: "It's all gone, you don't agree with your seventh master, don't be scolded." ”

This is really useful, and the people who are standing at the door and watching the excitement may be disturbed when they hear about it, but after a moment's work, they disperse in a hurry. Second Master Qi asked worriedly, "Daoist Mo, I'm ...... Do I want to also pair up with the old seven? ”

"No, you don't have to open the coffin!" Master replied without looking back.

"But didn't you say that if you clash, you will be scolded? Shall I avoid it first? ”

When the master heard this, he turned his head and smiled, "Hehe, I just lied to those boys, they stood at the door and blocked out the light!" Rest assured, it's okay! You just don't do it. ”

Second Master Qi nodded nervously, he estimated that he was still a little uneasy, and stood a few feet away.

Master handed me the compass and told me to look at the pointer on the compass later, and to tell him immediately if there was any change.

Then, he put a talisman on the back of each of the six young men, these talismans were made by the master himself, and he used dansha to draw some inexplicable strange symbols on the yellow table paper, and claimed that it could ward off evil spirits, which I really don't think is reliable.

When everything was ready, Master took a deep breath and said, "Open the coffin!" ”

The six young men glanced at each other, and a few of them were still muttering something in their mouths, but none of them dared to step forward. Looking at their pale faces, you can see that they must be terrified at this time.

Seeing this, Second Master Qi shouted loudly in the back: "You little rabbits! What are you grinding, I'm afraid that the seventh master will rise up and harm you! Hurry up, open the coffin and let Mo Daochang take a look! ”

They didn't dare not listen to the words of Second Master Qi, so they trembled and stepped forward, and one of them held a crowbar in his hand, and began to get busy.

This coffin is easy, but it is difficult to open the coffin, and it is even more difficult to pull out all the long iron nails that have been completely nailed without damaging the coffin.

A group of people worked hard for a long time, all of them were tired and sweaty, and finally pulled out the nails, after such a busy work, the original tense atmosphere eased a lot, and the guys actually occasionally talked and laughed, as if they completely forgot that there was still a corpse lying in the coffin that could change at any time.

Only the master has been frowning, he walked back and forth around the coffin, still chanting words in his mouth, and when he saw that the nails were pulled out, the master immediately stepped forward, took out three pieces of rune paper and pasted them on the coffin lid, and then said, "Open it!" ”

The expressions of the young men immediately became nervous again, but they were no longer as scared as before, and the six people held the four corners of the coffin lid and lifted the coffin lid with all their strength.

And at the moment when the lid of the coffin opened, the compass pointer in my hand suddenly swung violently, turning counterclockwise for most of the time, which startled me a lot, and suddenly I screamed "ah", my hands trembled, and the compass almost fell to the ground.
