Chapter 4: Demonic Evil
"Yu'er, what's wrong?" Master heard my screams and immediately turned around and asked.
I stared at the compass and said blankly, "Master...... Master, just ...... The coffin was ...... just now When the coffin is opened, this ...... The hands of this compass move...... "Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen the hands of a compass vibrate on its own, and I've never seen this happen before, so much so that I always thought it was just a bluffing toy."......
Master walked over quickly, snatched the compass from my hand, picked it up and looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he muttered, "Actually...... It turned out to be ...... It's a hell ......."
The young men who were carrying the coffin lid were all startled when they heard the word "ghost", and quickly put the coffin lid on the ground, and they all quickly retreated to the outside of the hall.
Second Master Qi was still standing in the corner of the hall, and he asked in a daze, "Daoist Mo, what...... What is a demonic ......? ”
Master took a deep breath, raised his head, and said slowly: "Generally speaking, after a person dies, ghosts will fall into the six realms of reincarnation, but there are also some ghosts who either have unresolved matters on their minds, or are nostalgic for ordinary worlds and refuse to enter reincarnation, so they become lonely ghosts and wild ghosts. There are many kinds of lonely ghosts, most of them are not harmful, but there are exceptions, if you have a grudge in your heart when you die, then it is possible to turn into a ghost to harm people, and the most powerful of the ghosts is the ghost! ”
"What...... What the!? The soul of the seventh child has changed...... Have you become this demon? Second Master Qi's face suddenly turned pale, his hand shook, and his pipe fell to the ground.
The master waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with Ma Laoqi, ghosts are generally powerful ghosts with more than a hundred years of practice!" According to my estimate, I'm afraid it has something to do with this locust wood ghost coffin! Lonely souls and wild ghosts cannot survive forever in the world, and they must find something to attach within seventy-seven and forty-nine days after death, and Huaimu Juyin is the most haode place for lonely souls and wild ghosts! ”
"You mean, it'...... There's a ghost attached to this locust wood!? Second Master Qi seemed to understand.
Master nodded slightly.
Second Master Qi sighed: "Alas! This...... This old seven, I didn't choose so many trees on the mountain, but I chose this evil locust tree! It's such a big trouble now...... What is the way Mo Daochang can deal with this demon? ”
The master did not answer Second Master Qi directly, and he didn't seem to be very sure, so he sighed and said, "Alas! Let's take a look! With that, he walked to the coffin and began to check Ma Laoqi's body.
After all, I was still an eight-year-old doll, too small, and the coffin was on a bench, so I couldn't see the inside of the coffin, but I didn't dare to look at it at all, so I just stood on the sidelines, wiping the sweat from my palms on my pants from time to time.
After more than ten minutes, the master raised his head and said with a solemn expression: "It seems that this ghost wants to borrow Ma Laoqi's corpse to resurrect his soul, and after the first seven, I am afraid that things will be difficult to clean up." ”
"What! Resurrection of the dead? How do you see that? Second Master Qi tiptoed into the coffin from afar, but he didn't dare to step forward.
The master replied: "Ma Laoqi's corpse has now become black, and there is also a layer of fine white hair on his body, and the pupils are invisible, and they are blood-red, which is a sign that the body has been invaded by evil objects and is about to undergo corpse transformation. I don't know how many lives will be harmed when the time comes! ”
When Second Master Qi heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly begged the master: "Daoist Mo, then you have to think of ways to save the lives of the people in our village no matter what!" ”
The master pondered for a while and said, "There is only one way to do this!" ”
"What's the solution?" Second Master Qi hurriedly asked.
"Burn the coffin!" Master turned his head and said word by word.
Second Master Qi was stunned: "What! Still...... Still have to be cremated? Can't you just burn this evil ghost coffin? ”
In the countryside, after the death of a person has to pay attention to the soil for peace, cremation is a great disrespect to the deceased, but also a very taboo thing, although Ma Laoqi has no queen, but after all, it is a member of the Bai clan, according to the clan rules, everyone has to help him find a piece of land, let him enter the soil for peace. Therefore, when Second Master Qi heard that the corpse was going to be cremated, he couldn't accept it for a while.
However, Master replied categorically, "No! Now Ma Laoqi's body has been invaded by demons, and it must be burned! Otherwise, they will still come out and harm others. ”
Although Second Master Qi is the village chief of Qiping Village, he can't be the master in the matter of burning the corpse, he picked up the dry pipe on the ground, patted the dust, and put it in his mouth and smacked a few mouthfuls before he spoke: "Mo Daochang, if you want to burn the corpse of Lao Qi, then you have to agree to several elders in the village, so let's discuss it first." ”
Master nodded: "However, this matter cannot be delayed any longer, you can decide as soon as possible!" ”
Second Master Qi also knew that the situation was serious, so he hurriedly asked a few young students standing at the door to go and call all the elders in the village. After about half an hour, seven or eight old men each led a few young descendants, and gathered in front of the old house one after another, they glanced into the house, but they didn't dare to enter, Qi Erye naturally knew what they were afraid of, and he didn't force it, so a few young descendants went into the house and took out seven or eight benches, and then sat down in a circle in the open space in front of the house.
Second Master Qi walked to the middle of the crowd, arched his hand towards everyone, and said straight to the point: "I invited all my uncles and brothers here today to discuss with you about the funeral of the seventh child." ”
At this time, an old man who looked about the same age as Second Master Qi spoke: "Second Master Qi, Fourth Master Chun, the fourth brother of Ma Qiye, left early, among our cousins, you are also close to him, plus you are the head of a village, you have to call the shots in this matter, what else to discuss!" What do you say, let's do it, everyone says no! ”
The crowd immediately chimed in:
"Yes! Second Master Qi, it's up to you to decide! ”
"Yes, only Second Master Qi has done the master! When to bury it, and to bury that piece of land, you have to decide! ”
"That's it, I don't think there is any need to discuss this matter, it's all up to Second Master Qi!"
……
Second Master Qi raised his hands and pressed them down, and said in a throat: "Uncles and brothers, listen to me first!" ”
Everyone immediately quieted down, and they all raised their heads to look at Second Master Qi.
Second Master Qi coughed lightly a few times, cleared his throat, and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then said: "Originally, this matter was decided by me, but now that something is wrong, everyone should already know what happened last night, this is the Mo Dao Chang I invited from Liushan Village!" Second Master Qi raised his hand and pointed at the master standing in front of the door of the hall, and the master nodded slightly at everyone.
Second Master Qi continued: "It's not once or twice that Daoist Mo has come to our Qiping Village, there must be many people who know him, and after some careful inspection, he basically knows the reason why Lao Qi cheated the corpse last night. As he spoke, Second Master Qi told the master about the Huaimu ghost coffin, the demonic possession, and the burning of the coffin.
"What! Do you have to cremate Ma Qiye? ”
"How does this work?"
"Yes, I heard that if this corpse is burned, the soul will have no body to possess, won't this make Ma Qiye unable to rest in peace after death!"
"Second Master Qi, I can listen to you for other things, but this is the only one that I can't do!"
As soon as they heard that the corpse was going to be cremated, everyone exploded at once.
"Quiet! Everyone be quiet, let's listen to what Mo Daochang has to say first! Second Master Qi turned his head to look at the master.
The master raised his head and glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Everyone, I know that everyone doesn't want Ma Qiye to be cremated!" But at this point, if you want to survive this catastrophe, there is only one way. Otherwise, once a stiff hair is generated, let alone me, even if Zhang Tianshi descends to earth, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect the people of the village. ”
"What the hell is this stiff? You're as fierce as you say! One of the old men asked.
"The corpse is divided into eighteen kinds, the most ferocious of which is the zombie, the blood corpse, the shadow corpse and the fighting corpse, the hair zombie is a kind of zombie, has cultivated to a certain degree of demonic nature, it is a high-level zombie, it is bloodthirsty, it hurts when it sees people, it is as powerful as an ox, it moves quite quickly, and it is copper and iron, invulnerable......"
When the master finished speaking, the audience was silent for a while, and after a while, an old man asked in a low voice, "Ma ...... Ma Qiye is really ...... Is it really going to be this evil thing? ”
The master replied with a serious expression: "Ma Laoqi's body has been possessed by demons, it is not a question of whether it will be a corpse, but it is already a corpse!" Now that the corpse has grown fine white hair, I am afraid that after tonight, he should wake up, and after the first seven days, the hair will be stiff, and it will be too late to deal with it! Therefore, we must burn Ma Laoqi's body before tonight, fire is the best way to deal with corpse transformation! ”
After the master finished speaking, everyone began to talk in a low voice, but at this time, the voices against the burning of Ma Laoqi's body were much less, and everyone looked solemn and worried.
After a while, an old man with gray hair stood up tremblingly, Second Master Qi hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and the old man said in an old and hoarse voice: "Since Lao Qi caused this incident, in order to protect the integrity of the villagers, let's burn his body!" ”
This old man must have been a respected figure in the village, and although his words were not serious, he was loud and clear, and no one had any objections.
