Chapter 164: Three Underground Palaces
Early the next morning, I called Ma Jialiang to the store, packed the booklet in a box in advance, and then handed it to him, telling him to find a safe place to hide it, not to be seen by others, and not to open it.
He said yes and left.
Looking at Ma Jialiang's departure, I felt a little blocked in my heart, Hongcun was actually very reluctant to let Ma Yong and Ma Jialiang get involved, so I hid a lot of things from them.
But now I have to find someone who I can trust completely and live in Hongcun to help me.
There was really no one but the two of them.
What I'm most worried about is that I'm afraid that they will also be involved, who touches and who is unlucky in these things in Hongcun, this whirlpool is too powerful, as long as anyone who gets close will be involved, and there is often no good result.
But the matter has come to this, and I can only silently pray that something will not go wrong.
……
I thought that there would be a succession of accidents in the next two months, but to my surprise, the next two months would be nearly two months.
In smooth water!
Nothing happened, so much so that I had the illusion that the Hongcun Affair was over.
Two months later, in March, the grass grew and the warbler flew, and the mountains that had withered for a winter were full of vitality, but unlike usual, Hongcun seemed exceptionally quiet, weasels, rats and the like were gone, and even the frogs that had woken up from hibernation seemed to be much less, especially at night.
During this period, I often called the leather clothes customers, the leather clothes customers always lost contact, and I didn't know what they were doing, Miao Miao often came to the village to accompany me, sometimes I sat down and left, sometimes I would have a light meal and then leave.
Brother Gua lived the life of his dead house, but Wong Tai Sin was not very idle, and often went out to do things, saying that he wanted to make money to raise Brother Gua, in this regard, I deeply despise Brother Gua's behavior of eating soft rice.
At the beginning of March, as that important day approached, I couldn't help but start to get nervous again. The October deadline of the Flesh Spirit Tai Sui is approaching, and Hai Meirong's child is about to be "born" again.
That afternoon, Miao Miao called and asked me to prepare, explaining that the underground palace was ready to deliver the baby.
I prepared seriously, glutinous rice, water, night pearls, waterproof flashlights, ashes at the bottom of the pot, and incense ashes from the ancestral hall, and then I thought of the drowning ghost in the river, just in case, I put the burning powder left by Ma Yongde last time in a glass bottle and brought it with a bottle.
Early the next morning, I went to the Nanxi River with the colorful eagles in my arms, and after getting on the boat, I rushed with them to Lengshui Cave.
All the way, after passing the water-sealed gate, I went straight to the second floor. Soon we were back at the underground river in the underground village, which was calm and uneventful.
"Ah Chun, be careful." Miao Miao walked to the stone bridge and said a word to me.
I nodded, the drowned ghost I encountered here last time was almost overwhelmed by it.
The leather-clad man didn't dare to slack off, took out a fire oil tank from it, and was ready to light it at any time, and I saw that he was well prepared, and breathed a sigh of relief. Then we got on the bridge and passed quickly.
But at this moment, there was a noise in the water, and there was the sound of something hitting the water.
I was startled, and instinctively turned my head to look, and saw a huge tail jumping on the surface of the water, covered with barbs, and a huge triangular black shadow stirring the water to slowly rise.
"Ghost rays?"
I was shocked, and my heart said that it is possible that things have been staying here all the time? Otherwise, it also appeared as soon as we appeared, and it was the same last time, as if it was waiting for us here.
Within a few moments, the ghost ray was completely on the surface, and the Mori Scales reflected the light of the flashlight, and a pair of eyes stared at me as soon as they appeared. Its gaze makes my heart a little hairy, and I don't know why it keeps staring at me.
None of us made a sound, but the Colorful Eagle called softly twice, a little wary of this sudden appearance.
"Keep walking." The leather-clad man in the back nudged me lightly, signaling me not to stay.
I nodded, followed Gua Ge and Miao Miao in front of me off the bridge and left the dark river, the ghost ray kept staring at me, watching me go away.
After a while, we reached the graveyard on the second level, and came to the mouth of the dark river where the flesh spirit Tai Sui disappeared last time. The mouth of the dark river is not small, the size of half a basketball court around the circumference, and the current is much more turbulent than above.
I looked around with a flashlight, but I didn't find the meat spirit Tai Sui, and the colorful eagle didn't have any alertness, so I couldn't help but ask with some worry: "Will the meat spirit Tai Sui come back here to give birth to that child?" ”
Miao Miao, the leather-clothed guest, and they all groaned when they heard it, Miao Miao pursed her lips and said: "Flesh Spirit Tai Sui took the child into the body, someone must have made arrangements in advance, and it stands to reason that they should come back, otherwise it will lose its meaning." ”
"Should be back." The leather-clad customer also said.
I nodded, what they said made sense, but it was just about my own life, and I couldn't help but feel very anxious.
Brother Gua took advantage of the time we were talking, ran to the mouth of the dark river and walked around, and then frowned and said: "There are no traces of fresh water stains found at the water's edge, and the flesh spirit Tai Sui is afraid that he has not been here since he escaped last time." ”
His words instantly aggravated the doubts in my heart. If it doesn't come, it's a disaster. But there is no other way, if the flesh spirit Tai Sui does not come here, then there is no way at all.
Then there was a long and anxious wait, and I carefully flipped through the calendar on my phone, and found that since the child fell into the well, that is, incorporated into the body of the flesh spirit Tai Sui, it will be ten months tomorrow, a full three hundred days.
The leather-clad and Guagoa simply camped next to them, cleared the ground, laid out the mats, and placed lights around them.
Time passed little by little, Miao Miao kept comforting me and waited patiently, there should be no problem. I smoke cigarettes one after another, I don't have any addiction to smoking, and the cigarettes on my body are convenient for business and communication, but now I feel anxious when I don't smoke, and I feel very uncomfortable.
Time passed slowly, slowly, and the day passed, and I ran out of cigarettes. In the evening, the leather-clad man suggested that everyone take turns to rest, and I did not want to rest, so I let them rest first, and lay down until the second half of the night when they could not stand it anymore.
But I just squinted for a while, and suddenly I was woken up by Miao Miao, and hurriedly opened my eyes, Miao Miao lowered her voice and said, "It's here." ”
As soon as I turned over, I got up and listened carefully, and sure enough, a very faint baby cry floated into my ears.
Everyone got up, and after hearing a few voices, the leather-clad man said, "Come up, it's the voice of the flesh spirit Tai Sui." ”
I was so excited that I finally came up, and it was getting louder and louder.
Soon there was movement at the entrance of the dark river, and the baby's cry was instantly much clearer, no longer the kind that came from the bottom of the water. Then I heard a thud, and a large transparent ball jumped up from the water.
At first glance, it is the flesh spirit Tai Sui!
I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked Miao Miao in an excited whisper: "How should I deliver the baby?" ”
"Let's see." Miao Miao frowned and shook her head.
None of us dared to move, this guy was at the water's edge, and if he was scared away, there was no time to stop him. And the meat spirit Tai Sui erected his head the size of a weasel and moved his nose, obviously a little nervous and uneasy.
My heart jumped to my throat, and I was afraid that it would smell something, and jump into the dark river again.
After a stalemate for a while, the flesh spirit Tai Sui moved, it didn't run, but walked slowly towards us, to be precise, at me.
This overwhelmed me for a moment.
"Ah Chun, don't move, it's looking for you." Miao Miao Road.
I pinned myself to the spot, and the flesh spirit Tai Sui moved his nose, and soon came to me, sticking out his head to smell me constantly, and walking around me.
That's when I realized that it didn't have eyes, so no wonder it couldn't see. And the fetus in the womb is obviously bigger than last time, and the fat Dudu is very cute, and from time to time he kicks the flesh spirit Tai Sui with his eyes closed, kicking it wave after wave, like a water pattern.
I'm a little nervous, this thing is not small and mysterious, known as the womb of the mother of the earth, I don't know what it is going to do, there are so many people here, why did you choose me?
Is it the same as the ghost rays outside?
The leather-clad Gua Ge and them all flashed to the side and watched, their faces suspicious. Miao Miao didn't say anything, and kept signaling me to calm down with her eyes.
I exhaled slowly to melt the tension in my heart.
But at this moment, I suddenly saw the flesh spirit Tai Sui open his mouth and bite me on the thigh.
"!"
I was so shocked and hurt that I couldn't help but scream.
