So, the next day, I took incense, paper, oil candles, and three livestock wine and food to the ancestral temple of the Ma family.

The surname Ma is a big surname in Hongcun, the ancestral temple is very good, the sorghum is a big building, and there is a pair of stone lions guarding the ancestral hall at the door.

Here I basically come to worship my ancestors during the New Year's holidays, and the door is clear. After entering the ancestral hall, he put on the three animals, toasted the wine, burned incense and wax, and burned paper money, and prayed to the ancestors of the Ma family, saying that he was sent by the ghost to give the seal of the king of Hades, and asked the ancestors to give incense and ashes to protect them through the difficulties.

I don't know why, as soon as I finished praying, I felt that the ancestral hall was a little different from usual, and the lit candles began to sway, but there was no wind at this time.

My heart suddenly swayed, the candle flame swayed without wind, it must have happened because something appeared or was close to the candle flame.

Moreover, it is often those more obscure things, such as ghosts and evil spirits, and the like ghosts. I instinctively thought that the ancestor of the Ma family had manifested his spirits? So he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the ancestral shrine and bowed nine times.

When I had finished knocking, I found that the candle flame was not shaking, so I breathed a sigh of relief, got up, bent down and patted the ash on my knee.

But when I looked up again, my legs were so weak that I almost didn't sit on the ground.

The three animals are gone!

It was still there just now, but the ashes on my knees disappeared after just a few taps, and the weird thing is that the candle flame was also extinguished!

"What's the situation?"

I was shocked and took a few steps back, and I can understand that the three animals disappeared when I worshiped the monument, because the one I worshipped was alive. But the ancestors of the Ma family can't still be alive, right? Isn't that a fraud? But the corpse won't eat!

I was up and down in my heart, and my intuition told me that something was wrong, it was definitely not the ancestor of the Ma family who appeared and ate the three animals, absolutely impossible.

I have been worshipping my ancestors since I was seven or eight years old, and for more than ten years, which time did I not come with three animals and leave with three animals? According to the old people in the village, the ancestors only ate the food of the three animals, and would never eat the three animals directly. If you can eat, it must be a living thing!!

There is no doubt about that!

"Could it be that there is something else in this ancestral hall?" A light crossed my mind.

Definitely!

So I began to look around nervously to see if there was any sign of anything alive. After a little look, I was sure that there could be no one behind and on both sides, because the layout of the ancestral hall would not let the doors and windows on both sides break the feng shui.

Then there is only the back hall.

The general small ancestral hall is a small house, but the Ma family ancestral hall is not, there are two entrances in the front and back, and there is a patio and a room in the back.

After thinking about it, I picked up a broom stick from the side and walked back, the thing that can take all the three animals on the plate in almost an instant is absolutely small, and I must be careful and careful.

Slowly, I walked to the back patio and looked at it and found nothing unusual. Then I searched for a while, and finally I set my sights on the coffin in the back hall.

The coffin room, as the name suggests, is the place where the coffin is placed, the difference is that the coffins placed here are all new coffins that have not been used.

This is a custom in the countryside, called preparing coffins.

This custom is found in a slightly more traditional village, and to put it simply, if there are more than six elderly people in the family, the children and grandchildren will prepare a coffin for the old man in case of emergency.

Because for the old man, the coffin after a hundred years is his house, and the old man who is over the age of sixteen will die at any time, so the children and grandchildren must build the "house" for the old man in advance, that is, the coffin.

In addition, there is a saying that the coffin is also called "carrying the coffin", which means carrying the coffin, and there is the implication of praying for the health and longevity of the elderly.

To sum up, if there are more than 60 elderly people in the village, they will prepare a coffin for the old man to use after his death.

But the coffin thing is inevitably a little infiltrating at home, so the coffin is generally placed in the ancestral shrine with one surname.

The coffin room behind the ancestral hall of the Ma family is the place where the people surnamed Ma concentrate on parking the new coffin.

At this time, the door of the coffin room was hidden, and I pushed the door open little by little with a broom stick, and suddenly a yin wind swished outward, and there was a faint smell of blood.

My scalp was tingling when I was blown, and this place was already gloomy and windy, and my heart couldn't help but drum. It was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see my fingers, so I took out my mobile phone and turned on the light to shine inside, and when I took a look, my heart suddenly twitched.

There was indeed something inside, half a man tall, a pair of eyes that were particularly large, black reflecting the light of the mobile phone, and a head a bit like an ape, but much smaller, with a dark red shroud on his body.

The most important thing is that I recognize the feet, which are shaped like duck webs and the color of white pig's trotters.

It's the coffin keeper!

I grew my mouth, this is the first time I have seen it in its entirety, it once saved me once, but unfortunately it failed in the end, and that time it was with the human-faced Hong Qingsheng.

Its dark eyes kept looking at me, occasionally tilting its head to look at me, half of its body hidden behind a coffin, timidly, as if interested in me, but afraid of me. If you ignore its looks, it looks like a half-grown child.

"Why are you here?"

Whether it understood it or not, I said a word, and put the broom stick down; Isn't it supposed to be in the coffin of the cold water cave, what is it doing at the ancestral shrine? He also took away the three animals that I used to worship my ancestors.

"Ho-ho!" I don't know if it understood or not, it opened its mouth and called at me twice, and then walked to the innermost part of the coffin room. And after walking a few steps and looking back at me, and then walking a few more steps, looking at me again......

My heart moved, and it beckoned me to go inside!

So I hurried up and went all the way to the innermost part of the coffin room.

Shockingly, I found blood on the ground, and the further I went, the smell of blood grew.

Something happened!

My heart tightened, and my heart said that it shouldn't be a human face accident! The coffin keeper has been with the coffin all this time, and there seems to be nothing else but the coffin.

When he walked to the innermost, the coffin keeper ran to the coffin that fell to the ground, and slowly opened the coffin lid, and there was something curled up inside, which was a human face!

It was really wounded, and the wounds in many places were deep to the bone, the skin was open, and several blood holes could be clearly seen, which should have been gunshot wounds. The most terrifying thing is not the blood hole, but a wound on its head, the skull is missing, the blood is mushy, and you can even see the white brain inside!

"Your uncle!" I scolded, who is so ruthless in the heart, the wound on its head is obviously cut by a sharp blade, and the mouth is very smooth.

For the first time, I thought of the lew woman, the last time I eavesdropped at Ma Yongde's house, I heard her and her subordinates looking for someone to fight, I didn't expect her to be so ruthless, and she was almost killed by her! If there is a slight deviation when cutting, the brain of the human face will be cut off.

At this moment, the coffin keeper gestured to me with his hand, and both hands slid around in midair.

I understood at a glance that this is a curve, and it is a curve that only women have, and it should mean that a woman hurts her face. There is no doubt that she is a mole woman, although her face is scary, but the curves of her figure are still good.

I nodded at it in understanding, then leaned over and slowly reached out and touched the neck of the human face, and found that it was still alive, but it was too weak to pass out.

In addition, I also saw the three animals brought in by the coffin guard, there were no signs of being bitten on them, but they were placed in the corner next to them, and it was obvious that the coffin keeper took the three animals to lure me in. It was probably so careful that it was afraid of being discovered by the people of the Mole Woman, and did not dare to appear in the main hall of the ancestral hall.

When the coffin keeper saw that I saw three animals, he ran over and picked up one of them, held it in the palm of his hand, and shouted at me twice, the expression on his face was very anxious, and he pointed to the human face in the coffin.

I see what it means. Hong Qingsheng needs tribute, but it's not cooked, it's blood food! The last time I saved it, I used blood food, and it was notified to me by the ghost number.

"Wait!"

Without saying a word, I ran outside.

Hong Qingsheng is too badly injured, it must be fast, otherwise it may die!
