Chapter 111: The Wake of the Spirit
I watched more and more people around me, and suddenly felt bad, how do I feel that now Shen Manting and I are the same as smashing the field.
"Slow down!" At this moment, a voice came from outside the crowd.
I looked over and saw an old lady with gray hair walking over with a cane, and the man hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady and said, "Grandma!" How did you get here!
The old lady patted the man angrily and said: Why am I here, I have heard your loud voice from afar, and you still want your grandfather to leave with peace of mind! Get out of the way.
After the old lady finished teaching the man a lesson, she looked at me and Shen Manting.
"Little girl, you said you want the black knife left by my old man, why do you want this knife from a girl's family!"
Shen Manting suddenly squeaked and said: That, I'm useful, I don't know if you can give it to the old man...... I, Shen Manting's voice suddenly became a lot quieter, it is estimated that she looked at the old man in front of her, and was embarrassed to ask for the only black-veined knife left by her wife!
Originally, I thought that the old lady would kick us out, but who would have thought that the old lady would actually propose a condition that she could take away the black stripe knife but did not need to give money, the Guardian.
I was stunned for a moment, and asked me and Shen Manting to keep a wake for the old lady's wife, which is also too! I don't even know what this old man looks like, how can it be possible to keep a wake for him!
When I just wanted to refuse, Shen Manting next to me actually agreed, and glared at me, stunned to force back into my stomach for what I wanted to say.
The deceased is the husband of the old lady, and the man is his second son, fortunately, today is the seventh day of the first seven, Shen Manting and I only need to stay for one night, and the next morning the coffin can be buried in the ground, and then the old lady will promise to give Shen Manting the black knife for free.
But right now, I was actually dragged into the water by Shen Manting and gave him a vigil, if my parents knew, I wouldn't be angry.
Finally, the night began to fall, and the villagers who came had already gone, the man was estimated to have been on guard for several nights, and he had already fought under his eyes, and when he saw that we really stayed to guard the spirit, the previous anger dissipated a lot, and he specially got some supper from the kitchen and put it in a corner of the mourning hall, so that we were hungry at night to add some stomach.
After bringing us supper, he put the money and the like into the basket beside us, so that we could not cut off the fire in the basin, and turned around and walked towards the room, which seemed to be too sleepy.
After seeing the man leave, Shen Manting got up and took out a candle and three long incense sticks from a corner of the mourning hall.
I watched curiously as she took out four candles, lit them and placed them in the four corners of the mourning hall, and I asked curiously: Sister Shen Manting, what are you doing!
Shen Manting saw that I didn't know the function of the four candles, and suddenly became speechless, Shen Manting could only talk about the role of the four candles while lighting the three long incense sticks in her hand.
It turns out that the function of these four candles is actually the same as the candles lit by tomb robbers in the catacombs in the legend, as long as the candles are not extinguished, those dirty things will not appear.
As for the three long incense sticks lit by Shen Manting, they have two meanings, one is to represent the respect for the deceased, and the other is to incense to calm evil!
It is said in Taoism that when a person dies for seven days, the body dies after seven days, and the soul returns to the soul in seven days.
During the seven days of death, the soul of a person will enter the underworld and wait for the judgment of the underworld, and after the seven days have passed, the dead person will be brought back to the world by the ghost to see the last glimpse of the world, only in this way, the human body will slowly decay until it turns into a wisp of dust.
This is also why there are rumors in some places that some people who have been dead for more than ten years are still living corpses when they are found, but there is no decomposition at all, which is the reason why the dead people have not completed the last road to the world.
I finally understood, Shen Manting, this girl still has this hand, it seems that I, Mr. Yin and Yang, have lived in vain, and I don't know anything except charms.
But fortunately, there is a girl like Shen Manting, although it is a bit of a thing to keep a guard for a stranger! But it's not a big deal if two people are together.
After Shen Manting finished inserting the incense, she ran to the side, and I didn't know where to move a rocking chair, lie down on it and fall asleep.
"It's a good name for me to exercise my courage alone."
This girl was too inhumane, and after a while she fell asleep, and took a nap, and I tore open a bag of dark bills with a wry smile, and burned one by one.
Because the sky was a little abnormal when I came today, it actually began to rain lightly outside, and the sound of "ticking and ticking" kept coming from outside, not to mention, when I was alone, this sound was quite infiltrating.
Damn, the more I think about it, the more scared I become, I look at this conscienceless Shen Manting, who actually sleeps alone, this girl, it seems that she still promised others to keep the spirit, and now it has become me to keep the spirit of others.
Because of Shen Manting's four candles, I am too lazy to open the Yin and Yang Eyes, after all, the aging period of the Yin and Yang Heaven Viewing Talisman is only for a period of time, so if you waste one, you will lose one! Now the inventory has been in short supply for a long time.
I took out my mobile phone in my pocket in boredom, thinking that there had been no fat people for a long time, so I sent a text message to them.
After a while, the fat guy was the first to come back with a message, he was going to call, but now I was inconvenient for someone to keep a vigil, so I asked him to text me.
The fat guy, now he really ran to the vocational high school in Hangzhou, I didn't expect this girl's dream to come true, but whether he can soak in MM is hanging, and Qiangzi and Xiaolei they, some of them were admitted to the high school in their hearts as they wished, and some of them fell off the list like me, and they found a school to live a mess.
Just when I was almost too busy with one hand, I was startled when the corner of my eye suddenly swept to the candles around the mourning hall.
This mourning hall is now fully enclosed, except for the closed door, other places are simply exiting like that, and even the ventilation vents are not in this room, but the flames of the candles around the eyes actually began to swing irregularly!
You must know that there is not a trace of wind here, and even the fan is not turned on, even so I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the next scene suddenly scared me into a cold sweat.
I only heard a slight sound of "bang", and the lamp above my head actually burned, and the surroundings suddenly became black and oppressive, but fortunately, I could barely rely on the flames of the four candles to see the surrounding movements.
Just when I was depressed and had bad luck tonight, suddenly there was a noise behind me, like the sound of a cat scratching a plank.
