Chapter 45: The Seven Ghosts Carry the Coffin
After Liu Cheng finished speaking, he continued to move forward, Chen Yingying and I stopped behind at the same time, in my impression, Liu Cheng seems to have been angry many times, when he saved my father, he was angry with the land lord once, and he was angry with the shogunate surnamed Lin once in the land temple, but those are just what we thought he was angry, and now he himself said that he was angry, and we realized that he was really angry.
Chen Yingying and I took a few steps forward, and Liu Cheng said to us again, "You wait for me here, and I'll be back immediately." ”
Liu Cheng said and left alone, Chen Yingying and I stood in the tomb, Chen Yingying was ignorant, I am afraid that she has not figured out what is going on, after all, she is the daughter-in-law that my grandfather found for me, coupled with Liu Cheng's education to me, I already agree that she is my daughter-in-law, and I can't bear to watch her being used as a bet, so I comforted her and said, "You don't have to worry, my master won't let you have an accident." ”
Chen Yingying looked at me and said shyly, then looked at Liu Cheng's departing back and said, "Your master is so terrible today. ”
"Is there one?" I also looked at Liu Cheng's back, but I didn't see anything.
Liu Cheng left for about twenty minutes and came back again, this time he came back not only with a money sword but also a hoe in his hand, and went straight to the tomb and handed me the hoe, and then pointed to his own grave and said to me, "Dig up!" ”
I sighed, digging someone's grave is a thing that damages yin morality, and besides, this is still my master's grave, and another one, digging the grave of the deceased, the deceased will not be at peace, I took the hoe and was stunned and said, "Do you really want to dig it?" ”
Liu Chengdu fixed his head, "Dig." ”
I hesitated for a while, then swung my hoe and dug up his grave, Liu Cheng watched with a magic sword, Chen Yingying first took a few steps away from Liu Cheng, and then stood firmly and stood by with an umbrella and watched silently.
When digging the grave here, some villagers who were working not far away found out about the situation, and immediately went back to inform my grandfather, my grave has not been dug yet, my grandfather rushed here, saw that I was digging the grave, three steps and two steps forward, pulled me and scolded angrily, "What are you doing on the dog day, what are you doing digging your master's grave?" ”
Liu Cheng said to his grandfather, "I asked him to dig it." ”
Grandpa was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" Why did you suddenly dig your own grave? ”
Liu Cheng looked at his grandfather head-on, smiled slightly and said, "Old man, I bet with Chen Yingying with others, if I win, I will be fine, if I lose, I may lose your plans for decades." When the time comes, if I lose, I will definitely be dissipated, I have already found a good way out for Sun Qing, if I lose tonight, you will take him to find the land master, let the land master take him to find a Sidian surnamed Zhang, and he will take care of Sun Qing on my behalf at that time. ”
Liu Cheng said this as if he was saying goodbye, I couldn't help but stop and look at Liu Cheng, somehow, listening to his words, my nose was sore, almost burst into tears, grandpa listened to Liu Cheng's words and was stunned for a while, and then sighed and said, "Master Liu, you did your best, even if you don't gamble, they will find Chen Yingying sooner or later, but Master Liu, our Sun family owes you too much." ”
Liu Cheng smiled and said, "Helping you is also for myself." Liu Cheng looked at me again and motioned for me to continue digging.
I continued to dig the grave with tears in my eyes, and the dirt on the dilapidated little grave was gradually dug up, and after about half an hour, a black coffin buried under the grave was revealed, which had been infected with water for many years, and was already a little dilapidated.
After I dug up the whole coffin, I put the hoe aside, and then looked at Liu Chengdao, "How do I get it now?" ”
Liu Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Open the coffin!" ”
After that, my grandfather and I stepped forward and opened the coffin with great effort, and the lid of the coffin fell to the ground, and the scene inside the coffin was revealed.
When we looked inside the coffin, we were stunned, thinking that Liu Cheng had been dead for decades, and his body had long since turned into white bones, but what I saw was an intact Taoist priest lying inside the coffin, with the same appearance as Liu Cheng, but it was more three-dimensional. The corpse in the coffin was dressed in a purple robe, with long hair, and a hairpin engraved with Tai Chi gossip on his head.
When Liu Cheng saw his corpse, he first took off the robe on his body and handed it to me, "This robe is for you." ”
I took the robe, and Liu Cheng looked at the corpse in the coffin again and said, "Get up." ”
His corpse seemed to be able to understand his own words, and when he heard Liu Cheng's words, he opened his eyes suddenly, stood up straight, and walked out of the coffin towards Liu Cheng with his negative hand, Liu Cheng stepped over at the same time, the two became one, and the corpse closed its eyes and opened them after a while.
Chen Yingying and I were stunned, Liu Cheng looked at us and smiled slightly, "This is my real body, how about it?" Is it handsome? ”
Chen Yingying was as silent as if she had seen a new world.
I nodded, "Handsome." ”
Liu Cheng smiled again, took the hoe in my hand, buried his coffin again, and then led us out of the tomb.
This busy work has reached noon, I went back to the house to see my father and mother first, but when I entered the house, I found that there was still a trace of my mother in the house, only my father was squatting in the room in a demented state, his eyes were full of fear, looking at the direction of the bed and muttering, "Vixen, vixen." "After reading it, he grabbed the hoe and was about to smash the bed.
Seeing this, my grandfather stepped forward and kicked my father over, scolding, "Are you crazy? ”
Dad looked at grandpa, and then looked at me, and actually squeezed out tears, a big man was crying so sadly at this time, choked up and said, "Lin Yuean turned into a fox spirit and ran away, the Sun family raised a fox spirit, I was blind, I didn't find out that she was a fox spirit for so many years." ”
Liu Cheng looked at his crying father and said, "If she is really a vixen, how can she give birth to Sun Qing?" She must have been taken by a fox, and I had misunderstood her before. ”
Dad was skeptical when he heard this, and looked at Liu Cheng in a daze, "Master Liu, why have you changed your dress?" ”
I was a little speechless when I heard it, shouldn't I talk about my mother now? His thinking must have changed too quickly.
Liu Cheng smiled and said nothing, first comforted my father, and then asked me and my grandfather to inform the people in the village that no matter what sound I heard at night, I couldn't open the door, and no matter what I saw, I just thought it was a dream.
My grandfather and I went from house to house to inform people from several nearby villages.
I didn't go home until about six o'clock in the evening, I thought that Liu Cheng would prepare for the night, but when I went back, he looked at my shrine in a daze, I walked up to him and asked, "Master, what are you looking at?" ”
Liu Cheng pointed to the idol and said, "You said that they accept the offerings of ten thousand families, but they don't care whether ten thousand families live or die, do they really not see it, or do they treat it as if they don't see it?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "They must only see the life and death of those important people, and they don't care about us people." ”
Liu Cheng smiled, "That's right, power is greater than law, it is a common problem in this era, whether it is below or above." ”
I don't understand what Liu Cheng said, he is worried about the country and the people, but I am worried about the things at night, so I no longer continue to discuss this topic, but ask Liu Cheng, "Will it be dangerous at night?" ”
Liu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "The benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise." ”
Liu Cheng said that he went out, and he didn't know what to do.
Until about twelve o'clock in the evening of the same day, all families listened to Liu Cheng's arrangement, turned off the lights early and went to sleep, several nearby villages were silent, Liu Cheng, who went out, came back at this time, looked at Chen Yingying and said, "Let's go, little girl, come with me." ”
Chen Yingying hummed, she knew that her fate depended on this time, and when she followed Liu Cheng out of the door, she glanced at me, and I immediately said, "I'm going too." ”
Liu Cheng glared at me, "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'll just check it out." I said.
Liu Cheng thought for a moment or two and nodded, "It's okay, it's okay to go and see the world." ”
After the three of us went out, Dad woke up for a while and continued to fall asleep, and Grandpa went out with us.
As soon as I went out of the front foot, I saw a figure crowding in the direction of Xiya into the village, I fixed my eyes and saw seven people carrying a big red coffin into the village, and there was a person sitting on the coffin, it was my mother.
The big red coffin gradually approached, Liu Cheng stopped and waited, and the seven people carried the big red coffin to the original mountain temple behind my house before stopping, Liu Cheng took us to the place of the mountain temple, standing opposite each other.
My mother stood on the coffin and looked at Liu Chengdao, "Liu Cheng, hand over Chen Yingying, and I will spare Lin Yue'an's life, otherwise I will erase her top three flowers now." ”
Liu Cheng smiled, "You try." ”
At the same time, another person rushed towards my house in a hurry, and before he arrived at my house, he saw us, and came straight over, but it was the local land, and he hurriedly said to us, "Liu Cheng, you have caused a big disaster, the county god of this county led the Yin Gang out of the ghost gate, can you beat ten hundred, can you beat a thousand?" ”
