Is this the White Snake that has been suppressed?

At my age, I couldn't understand why the evil and hideous Serpent King in the story appeared in a white coffin or in the form of a woman.

The woman in the coffin looks beautiful, with a moth head and eyebrows, and a face like a peach blossom. Her eyes were closed, her two jade hands were placed on her chest, and her expression was extremely serene.

Li Scar got up from the ground, saw the woman in the coffin, and suddenly drooped to the ground, his two eyes were full of greed and desire, and the scar on the left side of his face looked even more distorted.

At that time, I was too young to understand the affairs of men and women, but I looked at the woman in the coffin curiously, until I saw a mark on the woman's left shoulder, which was a bird, a golden phoenix.

I was immediately frightened, because I also had one of these birds on my left shoulder, exactly like the one on a woman's shoulder, except that I had a cyan color.

I remember when I was a child, I asked my grandfather why I had this mark on my shoulder, and when he heard my words, he immediately laughed, and he told me that it was a birthmark, and this is something that only I have.

I was a little scared why a woman in a coffin would have the same birthmark as me, I raised my head and asked my grandfather in a panic: "Grandpa, why is that woman ......?"

Grandpa seemed to know what I meant, and before I could finish speaking, he covered my mouth, looked at me with burning eyes, and said solemnly: "This is your life, and it is also the life of our Chen family!" ”

I was intimidated by the sternness in my grandfather's eyes, and I didn't dare to speak again, but I kept thinking in my head, why is this my life?

On the other side, Li Daoscar said with a lewd face: "Chen Youcai, aren't you suppressing the white snake skull under this broken temple, why did you become a woman without clothes, could it be your ancestor...... Hey, hey, hey. ”

I felt my grandfather's grip on my hand become harder, he squinted at Li Scar, and said word by word, "You say it again!" ”

Li Daoscar was suddenly frightened and retreated, he had just demolished the Snake Monarch Temple and completed the task, and he became a little carried away. When he saw my grandfather's lustful eyes, he remembered that the scar on his face was due to the man in front of him, and he was a little scared.

"Boss, there's something wrong with this woman! If she had been buried in the temple when it was built, it would have been rotten in three hundred years. A younger brother of Li Daoscar suddenly spoke, and the people around him were suddenly shocked.

Yes, if a normal person had been in the coffin for three hundred years, he would have turned into a pile of white bones long ago, how could he be like the woman in the white coffin, with ruddy skin, as if regenerating.

Lee's face turned pale at first, but immediately turned blood-red, and he seemed to feel that his majesty was being provoked, and turned his head to his group of younger brothers and shouted, "You know a hammer! Maybe this turtle son was secretly buried in the past two years! ”

"You think it's a youkai? Ahh How many temples did Lao Tzu smash in those ten years, and even the head of Guanyin Bodhisattva was knocked off by me with a hammer, if there were really these things, Lao Tzu would still be alive until now? If this is a monster, I will twist my head off and kick it as a ball for you! Li Daoscar reprimanded his little brothers, his face was red, his saliva was soaring, and he had the momentum of sweeping the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, and scolded his little brothers so that they lowered their heads in shame and didn't dare to fight back.

I stood next to my grandfather and watched Li Scar scold his dog legs, and my stomach almost cramped from laughing, and I felt that this person was too funny.

When Li Dao Scar's scolding was over, he walked to the white coffin with a lewd smile on his face, and said with a scolding grin: "Let's see if Lao Tzu is a monster, hehehe." ”

I didn't like the lewd expression on Li Scar's face, and pulled the corner of Grandpa's clothes, hoping that Grandpa would stop Li Scar from getting close to the woman in the white coffin. But my grandfather shook his head at me and motioned for me not to be too troublesome and to keep looking.

Just as Li Dao Scar was about to touch his hand to the chest of the woman in the coffin, a sudden change occurred, and a breeze blew, cracks appeared on the woman in the coffin, and her entire body turned into a pinch of dust and dispersed with the wind in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

I vaguely seemed to see the moment the woman turned to dust, and opened her eyes that had been closed, and she looked at me with sadness in her eyes like autumn water.

I don't know if it's an illusion or not, but when I came back to my senses, the woman in the coffin was gone with the wind. It wasn't until years later, when I cracked all the layouts and learned the so-called truth, that I understood where the sadness in her eyes came from.

Li Daoscar watched the woman in the white coffin turn into ashes in front of him, and he let out a scream like killing a pig on the spot and sat on the ground. The surrounding demolition team members also let out bursts of exclamations, and even a few elderly people knelt on the ground, kowtowing, and chanting words in their mouths.

Grandpa sneered, looking at the ugliness of Li Daoscar and the others with disdain. Then he touched my head and said to me, "Good grandson, look at grandpa to make you a baby." ”

Grandpa didn't wait for me to answer, he ran and jumped to the white coffin, he stretched out his left hand like a goshawk probing claw, grabbed a handful in the white coffin, and when his hand was retracted, there was a blue-green object in his palm. And Grandpa didn't look at what was in his hand, he turned around and ran towards me.

Behind him, the white coffin that originally held the woman was like a balloon leaking, and it quickly deflated, and in the blink of an eye, it fell to the ground and turned into a white snake skin.

The white snake's skin has distinct scales and armor, reflecting a dazzling light in the sun.

Scar, who had just recovered his breath, let out another earth-shattering howl, lying on the ground shivering, and I saw that there seemed to be water stains spreading on his pants.

The woman turned into ashes, the white coffin turned into snake skin, and two things that transcended common sense happened in front of this atheist, and finally the Li Scar, who had hammered through the Bodhisattva's head, rolled his eyes and fainted.

Grandpa took me by the hand and walked towards the house, and he didn't look back at the white snake skin the whole time, as if he didn't care about all this.

I turned my head to see the chaotic scene of Li Daoscar's group of subordinates, and couldn't help but smile, where can a ten-year-old child feel the weirdness of this thing, but I just feel that these scenes are like spells in the mouth of a storyteller, and grandpa is the Monkey King in Journey to the West, as soon as he stretched out his hand, the coffin turned into a white snake skin, which is really magical.

"Uncle Cai, what's going on there, why are those turtle sons crying and howling?" Several Chen family members saw their grandfather coming over, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

Because of his grandfather's status as the patriarch of the Chen family, he asked the villagers to stay away from the Snake Jun Temple, these honest villagers were really far away and did not dare to approach, but they were very curious about the situation inside, after all, this was an ancient temple that their ancestors had worshiped for more than 300 years.

"If you want to know, then go and see for yourself." Grandpa stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Snake Monarch Temple, and the villagers who were already itching heard Grandpa's words, where could they still hold back, and they rushed over in an instant.

"Youcai, what is under the temple ......" Several elders of the clan came up again to surround my grandfather, and they were a little anxious and stopped, their faces were a little anxious.

Grandpa smiled at them and said, "It's okay, don't worry, the sky is falling and I will be on top." ”

A few of the elders seemed to be a little worried, but my grandfather waved at them and led me home. However, as soon as he took a few steps, Grandpa seemed to remember something, and turned back to the elders and the villagers who stayed behind and said, "By the way, you inform the people in the village not to go to the back mountain, at least not until I speak." ”

A grandfather seemed to want to say something, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly. The patriarch of the Chen clan, every word, this is the rule set by the ancestors, as long as your surname is Chen, you must abide by the rules of the family.

After my grandfather finished speaking, he led me to turn around and leave, his steps were so fast that I couldn't keep up, so he directly lifted me up and put it on his back, and carried me home. I was lying on my grandfather's back, very secure, but I could faintly feel that his body seemed to be trembling, and he seemed to be nervous or excited.

Back home, my mother was drying cotton in the yard, she was married from another village, and she didn't care about the snake temple in the village, so she didn't follow to see the excitement.

Grandpa nodded to my mother and carried me into the hall. He placed me on a stool, sat down on his own, and eagerly pulled a turquoise object out of his arms.

That's what Grandpa pulled out of the white coffin. I lay on the table and watched my grandfather tinker with it.

This is a bronze mask, because of the age, the mask is blue and yellow, but the most eye-catching thing is the shape of this mask.

The wide mouth, the big ears stretched out obliquely, and a small hole in the middle of the forehead, I looked closer, only to find that this small hole is inlaid with an ornament, the ornament is in a ring, the outer circle is composed of four phoenix birds flying counterclockwise, but the inner circle is engraved with a strange symbol, this symbol is too twisted and complicated, I just glanced at it, I felt a little dazzled.

Actually, what I am most interested in is the eyes of this mask, which are deeply concave and bulging, almost becoming a raised column, which looks strangely tight.

"Grandpa, what the hell is this, it's weird!" I touched the bulging eyeballs on the mask and asked Grandpa.

Grandpa gently rubbed the mask with his calloused hands, the expression on his face was a little complicated, and after a while, he said to me: "Good grandson, this is a treasure left to you by the ancestors, but you are still too young, when you are older, grandpa will give it to you." ”

Grandpa's appearance at the moment is similar to that every year when my mother says that she will keep the New Year's money for me, and I don't care about it, after all, this ugly and weird mask has no appeal to me, and it is not as interesting as the marbles in my pocket.

I yawned, ignored my muzzling grandfather, and trotted out to play marbles with my friends.

The day passed quickly, until late that night, when I was awakened by a quarrel, I wiped my eyes, and with some curiosity went to the door, and saw my grandfather and my father talking about something in the hall, I hurriedly lay down in the crack of the door and quietly looked out, and I felt a sense of excitement to be a spy.

"Old man (the meaning of father in Sichuan dialect), you let those turtle sons push the temple! What if something happens? "I saw that my dad was a little excited, and his face turned red and asked my grandfather a question.

Grandpa took the dry tobacco stick and smoked a cigarette, and after a while, he said slowly: "You know a hammer, the things handed down by the ancestors should be on my good grandson, and now someone has helped us demolish the temple, and we can save some effort." ”

My dad wiped the sweat from his forehead and argued, "But Xuan Wazi is only ten years old, once something happens, then ...... Alas......"

Grandpa slapped the table and scolded at my dad: "Your turtle son has shit in his head, so don't say anything about crow's mouth." You think I don't want to wait a few more years? But when the time comes, there is a fart solution, this is fate, the life of my good grandson! ”

My dad was yelled at by my grandfather, didn't dare to talk back, sat on the stool, and was a little aggrieved.

Grandpa put down the cigarette stick, stood up, and looked at the calendar hanging on the wall for a long time before he said leisurely: "Those things are coming, and my old bones are on top." Moreover, in addition to the ancestral teachings, the ancestors also left a sentence that has been passed down for three hundred years! ”

Grandpa turned around, and I saw a sparkle in his eyes.

"The Qiang River is not dry, and the Chen family is endless!"
