Chapter 4: The coffin is opened

I immediately let go of my hand when the rune paper was hot, but it was still too late, and the rune paper burned instantly, and the flames spread along my hand to my arm!

I panicked, desperately shaking my arms, Liu Daxian saw the fire spreading, raised the urine poured into the pot and splashed it at me, as soon as the urine and the fire came into contact, the flames dissipated instantly, leaving me with the smell of urine.

I was sweating profusely, and when I raised my hand to look, my palms had become charred black, and my nails were gently scraped, and pieces of black skin were cut off, and I didn't feel any pain in the whole process.

Liu Daxian stared at me with puzzled eyes, and shook the urinal in his hand, there was no sound inside, and he muttered, "It's over." ”

When I saw that there was no pain, I didn't pay much attention to it, and said, "What are you doing with this talisman, why are you still burning me!" ”

Liu Daxian said: "I don't know, but without the boy's urine, I'm afraid it will be more auspicious." ”

"Then let's go back, and wait until tomorrow when there is more urine in Sanhuo." The village chief was frightened by the burning scene and already wanted to leave.

"Okay." As soon as Liu Daxian's words came out, the village chief immediately breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go home.

"But if there are any more dead people tonight, don't say I didn't warn you."

The village chief paused, turned around and hesitated for a few seconds, sighed and said, "Old Liu, don't tease me, I can't afford to die again, I'm not good at the village chief!" Those villagers still have to tear down my house? ”

Liu Daxian listened to the village chief's chatter, turned to look at me, this time he didn't let me paste the talisman again, he walked to the door slowly, tremblingly stretched out his hand to paste the talisman paper on it, and then gently pushed.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door opened, and the gloomy courtyard reappeared in front of us.

The sky was cloudy, and the wind kept blowing towards us, and the ears were full of insects and birds, but the courtyard in front of us was silent, without the slightest sound, and the mourning shed where the mother-in-law's coffin was placed was also dark, and the sixteen oil lamps around the coffin had long been extinguished, and nothing could be seen in the dark.

Liu Daxian glanced into the courtyard and said, "Go, take the rope and turn on the lights in the yard." ”

"I, I'm not going in!"

"Boy, this rope rooster is soaked in blood, don't worry, ordinary ghosts can't hurt you, and I'm at the door, it's okay."

"Why don't you go?"

Liu Daxian said impatiently: "If you want to go, you can go, and you don't want to catch ghosts!" ”

I reluctantly took the rope from his hand, wrapped it around my body a few times, and walked cautiously into the yard, when suddenly a hand came to my shoulder from behind!

"Ahh I yelled, threw up the rope and pumped over.

"Oh-yo-" Liu Daxian wailed, covering his face and tugging at the rope, "Why are you kid whipping me." ”

I saw that it was him, and wiped the sweat from my face, "Didn't you let me go?" Why did you come along? ”

"It's okay, I'll do it."

He rubbed his shriveled face and walked into the room, and I followed him closely, and I could vaguely see the coffin by the old tree, just a vague shadow. When I got to the house, I turned on the lights in the courtyard, and the lights in the rural courtyard were all installed at the eaves, and a dim light was projected to illuminate the whole courtyard, and I saw that the coffin by the ancient tree became standing again!

Of course, Liu Daxian also saw the coffin, he took out a handful of raw rice from his pocket and swallowed it in his mouth, beckoned to the village chief at the door, and then he walked out of the house and approached the coffin.

"Go, light all the oil lamps next to your mother-in-law's coffin."

I followed his words and found matches and entered the mourning shed, and for some reason, the temperature in the mourning shed felt even lower than in the courtyard, and the cold wind was blowing behind me.

All sixteen oil lamps were lit.

The coffin is closed, has been nailed to death by the people in the village, this is the custom of burial in the village, the dead in the village should be sealed with nine nails immediately after putting in the coffin, and the worship can only be buried after three days, I can't help but wonder when I see the coffin of my mother-in-law, why did Wang Laosi not follow the custom, and hurriedly buried it in the ancestral grave this afternoon?

When I turned around, Liu Daxian and the village chief had already begun to wrap the coffin with hemp rope soaked in chicken blood, tied it to death, and finally tied the knot, and Liu Daxian pasted a few pieces of rune paper.

Curious, I walked over and asked, "Is that the end of it?" ”

Liu Daxian said: "I didn't expect it to be so easy, the one in the coffin ran out during the day, but now he has returned." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed the coffin, and I also had the courage to push it twice, which was heavy.

I breathed a sigh of relief, "So what now?" ”

"When the day dawns, find a few stronger men and burn the coffin."

"What about the tree?"

Liu Daxian looked in the direction of my finger, and the black hole where the ancient tree was cut off was still there, and I told him that the coffin had escaped from inside.

Liu Daxian slapped his thigh, "How did I forget about this?" ”

He hunched over to the hollow of the tree, looked down, sniffed hard a few times, and suddenly turned back and said, "I made a mistake!" The coffin is not the main one, the coffin is used to suppress the contents of the cave! ”

"Inside the cave?"

The village chief and I both leaned over and looked inside, and it was so dark that we couldn't see anything, but vaguely I could hear a strange voice, like a child's cry, and the sound was very small.

"Don't look at it." Liu Daxian said to us: "The main thing is that when you come out, you won't be the only one who will die, the coffin has been pressed in the tree for so many years, there must be other protective measures inside!" ”

The village chief took a deep breath, "Thank you Elder Liu this time." ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Saying that, the three of us turned around, and in an instant we all froze in place, and my legs began to tremble involuntarily, and the coffin that had just been tied up by Liu Daxian and the village chief was actually opened!

Although the coffin was facing away from the three of us, we could see that the coffin board had fallen, and only the pieces of hemp rope and charms were scattered on the ground, and the three of us looked at each other, maybe the thing was still in the coffin, and it could jump out at any time!

Why, why is there no sound at all?

Liu Daxian's face also leaked a frightened expression, his waist straightened a lot, his eyes widened suddenly, and he bit his fingers and rushed to the coffin and quickly drew incomprehensible charms.

But before he finished painting, the coffin fell on him!

"Bang!"

Liu Daxian's aging body erupted with unexpected speed, quickly sideways to the side, and the coffin smashed into the soil and raised a cloud of dust.

This time we saw it really, there was nothing in the coffin except some gold, silver and jewelry!

What about people? What about corpses?

The village chief and I looked at each other and cast questioning glances at Liu Daxian.

Liu Daxian panted, leaned on his knees and said, "Good girl, what is in here?" The evil charm and the chicken blood rope are useless, is there any monster in your village? Boy, did your mother-in-law say anything before she died, as far as I know, your mother-in-law is not an ordinary person, she can guard the coffin inside the ancient tree, there must be a way to subdue it. ”

I closed my eyes and recalled the conversation between my mother-in-law and me about the ancient tree when I was a child, shook my head and said, "My mother-in-law didn't say it, but I have been playing in the tree since I was a child." ”

"Then tell me what happened on the night of the thunderbolt tree."

I hesitated to tell Liu Daxian about the night my mother-in-law died, and asked by the way: "Could it have something to do with that man named Zhao Shouquan?" ”

"No, it won't." Liu Daxian said: "There must be a reason why your mother-in-law saw him before she died, but she would never release such a monster, there must be some reason why the ancient tree provoked the thunder... The one in the coffin is already so difficult to deal with, isn't it ...... in the hollow of the tree?"

Liu Daxian didn't continue, but the village chief and I understood what he meant, and what was in the tree hole would be more terrifying than a coffin.

"This monster has left, I don't know what will happen tonight, if there are any more dead people, it will really be a sin." Liu Daxian muttered and looked back at my mother-in-law's spiritual shed, "It would be good if Aunt Meng was here, she must have a way." ”

As he spoke, Liu Daxian suddenly looked at me, and his eyes lit up.

"I see!"

The village chief and I were both shocked, and the village chief hurriedly said, "Old Liu, do you have a way to subdue this monster?" ”

Liu Daxian said: "Sanhuo said that on the night Meng Damiang died, the crutch was lost, and I think the crutch is a magic weapon to suppress demons." When it is there, the ancient tree is intact, it is gone, and the demons in the ancient tree have nothing to suppress, so it will naturally burst out the yin qi that has been accumulated for a long time, and the yin and yang are not compatible, and such a big yin qi suddenly emerges, which will naturally attract yang fire to neutralize! ”

"But now that I've lost my crutches, what should I do?"

"Looking!" Liu Daxian said hurriedly.

"Uh......" I hesitated: "When my mother-in-law died, it was only me and Zhao Shouquan in the house, and we woke up at the same time, and the thunder had already chopped down the tree at that time, so it couldn't be taken by us and the villagers." ”

When Liu Daxian heard my words, his expression was much more lonely, he looked at his mother-in-law's spiritual shed and muttered for a long time, and said, "Then there is only one way." ”

"What's the solution?"

"Sanhuo, you're staying home alone tonight."

"Huh? I don't do it! I quickly shook my head.

Liu Daxian grabbed my clothes, "I told you your fortune when you were born, your birth date is extremely weak, there is a lack of beams and broken pillars, and the five elements have no wood and no fire, which is a natural Yin Ke fate." That's why your mother-in-law named you Sanhuo, the purpose of which is to suppress the yin qi of the eight characters and the five elements.

Do you know why you like to play on ancient trees? Because this tree is the place where yin energy gathers, you have long been one with the attraction of the same sex, and as long as you are at home, the one in the coffin will definitely come to you when he returns.

I'll give you three life talismans, as long as the talisman is there, she won't hurt you anyway, and when it comes back, you take out one talisman and stick it on its back, enough to hold it for two hours.

During this time, you will go to us, and when the time comes, we will put it in a coffin and burn it, and everything will be solved! ”

I still don't want to, it's a complete joke with my life.

"Why can't you wait for it to come back to the coffin, and come and burn it during the day?

"It's not going to be in the coffin anymore, it's just killing people today, it's in need of recuperation, and it didn't know it was in danger at that time. We just threw a rat bogey, how could it still be stupid? ”

The village chief also chimed in and said, "Sanhuo, you can help for the sake of the people in the village." ”

I sighed, if I didn't care about this matter, if there were any more dead people in the village, I guess I would be regarded as a target by everyone, and maybe I would be killed alive by the family of the deceased.

The village is high and the emperor is far away, and the villagers are crazy and completely ignore the law.

I had no choice but to agree.

Liu Daxian handed me three talismans, this time the talisman did not burn, I stuffed it into my arms and returned to the house, sitting alone and waiting for death.

His mind was full of cranky thoughts, and he even began to wonder if Liu Daxian was taking me as a sacrifice? Since I was a child, I have heard my mother-in-law talk about killing people and sacrificing ghosts and gods, and Liu Daxian and the village chief are not people I am familiar with, so I am not sure what kind of thoughts they have.

Watching the time pass little by little, his mental power began to be unable to concentrate, so he sat on the kang and leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, and I don't know if I fell asleep, but suddenly I heard a heavy knock on the door, which woke me up!
