Chapter 33: Vertical Graves
But he said that we had worked hard to find the old man Arnold, but he didn't expect us to use the copper hairpin on the female corpse as a price. The most important thing is that the grave of this female corpse turned out to be a well-known vertical burial tomb.
I said with a bitter face on the spot, old man, if you want a hairpin, Lao Zhang and I will go back and buy one for you, you can choose the gold and silver, why do you have to ask for the copper hairpin?
Old man Arnold took another sip of wine and said, The copper hairpin is not simple, even if you give me a hundred golden hairpins, I will not agree. Anyway, that's what I'm saying, if you want to try it, go straight over, if you don't want to go, you will stay here for the night today, and you should go where you want to go as soon as the morning dawns.
I dragged Zhang Wuren and said, "Old Zhang, can we handle this thing?" You know a lot, let's sum it up.
Zhang Wuren said that the vertical graves are actually divided into grades, and it is really hard to say if you don't really see them. But no matter how powerful it is, I think it's easier to deal with than this angry-faced corpse, otherwise, let's try it?
When I saw his eager expression, I suddenly realized and said, Lao Zhang, are you interested in that copper hairpin?
Sure enough, this guy smiled and said, it is indeed a little interested, but whether that thing is an ordinary copper hairpin or a ghost attached to it, we have to go over and have a look to find out. Lao He, do it! We've all done it with the angry corpse, and we're still afraid of a small vertical grave for him? No matter how bad the situation is, it is impossible to break the angry corpse.
I thought about it too, this angry-faced corpse is now haunting us like a dog skin plaster, throwing it and not daring to throw it, burning it and not daring to burn it, if Old Man Arnold doesn't accept it, we will be really embarrassed. In contrast, isn't it just a copper hairpin? Isn't it just a vertical burial grave? Fuck it!
At that moment, the two of us packed up our things and said goodbye to Old Man Arnold. Old man Arnold said, the two little ones are full of energy, and it is only nine o'clock now, and it is estimated that you have walked to the middle of the night. Go ahead! I'll look at this angry-faced corpse for you, and with me, I promise that nothing will go wrong.
Anyway, it's a blessing or a curse, and we can't avoid it, so we packed up the guys and walked in the direction pointed by Old Arnold. Along the way, the mountain road is dark and bumpy, and there are some unknown animals and birds cooing.
There is really no light pollution here, nothing can be seen in the darkness around us, and Lao Zhang and I almost went the wrong way several times.
We walked for more than three hours to get there. As the flashlight beam swept by, I saw a large area of tombs, high and low. The tomb was also mixed with speckled ghost fires, flickering and flickering, looking particularly weird.
I was tired and panting, and said, no, Lao Zhang, I have to rest for a while. Otherwise, if the female corpse cheats the corpse later, we won't be able to beat it.
Zhang Wuren's physical fitness is much better than mine, he said, you rest first, and I'll go find a vertical grave. Old man Arnold said, next to a big willow tree, very recognizable.
I didn't dare to sit on the grave, because when I was a child, I often heard people say that sitting on the grave is equivalent to sitting on the head of a ghost, and a ghost can't bear it. Now the two of us are not here for these poor lonely ghosts, or more than less.
Zhang Wuren quickly burrowed into the graveyard, and I could only see the beam of the flashlight when I watched from a distance.
The wind was gusting around, and I don't know if it was psychological or what, but I always felt that the area around the cemetery was not very clean. I shuddered, and hurriedly stood up to catch up with Zhang Wuyan, but I straightened my waist, but found that I couldn't stand up.
It's like you're being held down by something.
I was immediately angry, and my heart said where did the blind little ghost come from, and he dared to suppress me?
If you want to say that I am very different from when I first debuted, I have even fought thirty-six ghosts, where can I still be afraid of this little lonely ghost? I cursed, and reached out to grasp the Demon Thorn.
The familiar electric current on the Demon Thorn came again, and I felt that the whole person instantly relaxed, and when I looked back, I found that a swarthy shadow had quickly burrowed into the grave next to me.
I couldn't swallow this breath, so I walked to the grave with the demon thorn and the crossbow on my back, and stepped on the tombstone with a fierce kick, saying, "Boy, don't have nothing to do?" If you really dare to provoke Lao Tzu, I will dig your grave in minutes!
After finishing speaking, he knocked on the tombstone with a demon thorn as if demonstratively, and then glanced around, found Zhang Wuren's flashlight, and hurriedly walked over.
Zhang Wuren had already found the big willow tree, which was full of branches and leaves, not much different from the big willow tree in Lingshou County. There is also a lone tomb under the willow tree, and there is no tombstone, so it is impossible to see whose grave it is.
I found Lao Zhang standing next to the grave in a daze, so I went over and patted him and said, Lao Zhang, this cemetery is not clean. Lonely ghosts are everywhere.
Zhang Wuren said that it is normal to be unclean. You take out the dementor flashlight, and if a lonely ghost dares to approach, just sweep it.
I said yes, turned on the filter of the flashlight and placed it on my waist. I said, let's get started?
Zhang Wuren said that he was not busy, I will see if this grave can be moved first.
Vertical burial grave belongs to a kind of legal burial, some local folk customs actually have the saying of vertical burial, as the saying goes, three years to find the dragon, ten years to point the hole, the vertical burial is a kind of point.
Zhang Wuren said that there are good and bad vertical burials, but there are very few people who know how to bury vertically, most of them are two knives, thinking that they can point a good point and bless future generations, so they will bury people vertically. But I don't know that if the place is not right, if the feng shui is not right, the body inside will not decompose, and because the coffin is vertical, the body inside is also standing, so the deceased will not be at peace after death.
In this way, the deceased will have resentment, which will then be harmed by future generations. Generally, this kind of disaster to future generations is the kind of cutting off children and grandchildren, so that no one pays tribute to the grave and no one takes care of it. Over time, it became a desolate grave.
Such a deserted grave is said to be a big murderer in the circle, which is why it is listed among the four major murders of the people.
Zhang Wuren explained to me while holding a square plate and looking at it. After looking at it for a long time, I said that we can move this grave, but there is a lot of risk. What do you think?
I say how about a corpse with an angry face?
Zhang Wufu smiled and said, it is not comparable to the angry corpse. The Nine Corpses Welcome has been passed down for thousands of years. If you want me to say, the lesser of two evils, digging this vertical grave first and taking out the copper hairpin, it is better than running back with the angry corpse again.
I snorted and said, fuck it! Dig it out!
Lao Zhang and I rubbed our hands, took out the folding shovel from the package, and after finding the direction, we were ready to excavate. Before digging the grave, Zhang Wuren also put incense on the grave, and hung the gossip mirror on the big willow tree next to it, and the mirror was facing the grave.
If you don't cheat the corpse, we take the copper hairpin and leave quickly, if you cheat the corpse, then it depends on whose ability is greater.
The two of us took turns and soon dug up the grave. The coffin inside was revealed, and it turned out to be buried vertically. Zhang Wuren asked me to pause, looked at the coffin carefully, and said, there are ghost suppression runes on the coffin, which should be specially made. The woman's body is a big murderer, and it is estimated that the eldest sister inside has not decomposed.
I looked at the time, and it was past one o'clock. Thinking that if he went back after dawn, Old Man Arnold would not recognize him. Anyway, half of the coffin was dug up, and now we have to get this done anyway.
I said, whatever, it's a big deal. In the past few days, I have been bullied by the corpse with an angry face, and if I don't find a weaker guy to relieve my anger, I will be depressed if I can't keep it.
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt someone pat me on the back from behind, and I hurriedly turned around, but I could only hear the whining wind around me, as if there was nothing.
But when I looked at my shoulder, I realized that there was a bloody handprint on my clothes, and the handprint was very thin, as if it had been left by a woman.
I instantly became furious and said, Lao Zhang, there is a ghost!
Zhang Wuren stared straight behind me with his eyes, and after a while he said, Lao He, don't move! Don't move!
I was so frightened by his appearance that I almost cried, I didn't even dare to turn my head, I just said, what the hell is behind me? Hurry up!
