Chapter 3: Snatching the coffin halfway
For the grandfather, they did this, it turned out that the old ghost once said to the grandfather: said that this trip is not dangerous, just to prevent a little block from the ghost can be safe.
As the so-called: a hundred ghosts gather at the head of the lonely mountain bridge, the demons and evil creatures in the deep mountains and old forests, the human heart is good in the world, and the demons and demons have no choice but to cover their hearts, this trip must be remembered.
Halfway through the night walk is confused, don't be frightened, stop the coffin when you encounter the bridge, burn incense and scatter money; If the ghost does not disperse, the seven stars of incense can be safe, as long as you remember what I said, this trip can be safe, but it must be delivered before dark on the fifth day, remember, remember.
Sure enough, then he met a strange big black snake, entrenched in the forest must pass through the place, grandpa hurriedly bowed to worship the immeasurable Tianzun of the West, and at the same time lit a handful of incense in his hand and walked around the thin coffin in the middle of the crowd, and the strange thing is that the black snake immediately swam away.
The group finally came to Sanli Town, and seeing that it was not far from the "place where the coffin was delivered", the next scene almost scared everyone to death.
Sanli Town is more than ten miles away from us, and the distance is not easy to walk, and the four young and strong young men carrying the coffin are also tired and panting at this time, resting against the big stone on the side.
Grandpa Tai sat on a broken stone and said: "Dazhu, this place has reached the boundary of Sanli Town, the place you said should not be far away, Brother Ding asked you to bring all the preparations!" ”。
Grandpa patted the cloth bag on his chest and said: Don't worry, how could I forget that stubble.
After Grandpa finished speaking, he turned his head to the four coffin bearers: Brothers, today's things can be regarded as a great help to me, and when I go back, I promise each person a big front door, a piece of pig strips and half a bag of rice as a reward.
When those people heard it, the good guy was too generous, and everyone hurriedly thanked them, and everyone suddenly didn't feel tired, and their whole bodies were full of strength.
Not to mention the big front door, just half a bag of rice and a large piece of pork strips are enough to make them happy.
How expensive the food was in those years, pork and this kind of thing, how many people dream of a family being able to get a little bit during the festival.
Under the encouragement of this material, everyone set off again, and their pace was noticeably quickened, and they met a woodcutter in the middle of the road, and after inquiring about the direction, they were soon able to reach their destination.
"Arrived"
Windy Valley
Grandpa looked at the handwriting engraved on a boulder in front of him, and the boulder pressed in his heart was finally put down.
"Brothers, this time it is considered to be a coffin for the dead, it is more or less unlucky, if there is something unusual later, don't run around, the coffin can be returned immediately after the coffin is in the ground."
All four of them are indifferent atheists, and under the temptation of rice and meat strips and cigarettes, they don't care what kind of ghosts, snakes, and gods he is.
When grandpa saw the appearance of everyone, his heart was settled, he was not afraid, he was afraid that he would drop the chain at a critical moment, so he waved his hand again and stepped into the "Wind Valley" with his grandfather.
Wind Valley, when I arrived here, my grandfather suddenly remembered that this was not a famous mass grave in Sanli Town! No wonder it's so familiar.
It is said that this is famous, and it is definitely quite famous, the name is that it has sheltered countless dead people, those who have no owner, no money, and no queen have been sent here, most of them are randomly selected and dug in the spot, and it can be said that there are graves everywhere.
There is a song among the locals: Wind Valley, Wind Valley, once you enter the wind and valley, you will turn into bones, no matter how carefree you are in front of you, the corpses are all over the valley after death, there is no home, no owner, and the soul is buried.
Everyone who had just stepped into the valley of the wind was greeted by a gust of cold wind, and grandpa couldn't help but complain: Damn, what kind of demon wind is blowing, it gives me goosebumps.
"Ahem~Ahem"
Suddenly, a cough sounded that was particularly permeating in the silent valley.
"Who, come out"
Grandpa shouted violently, and everyone hurriedly put down the coffin and looked around nervously.
At the moment when everyone was nervous, half a figure appeared in the corner on the side, and the figure stood up and hurriedly said: "Don't be nervous, I, I am a passerby who came to Shangxiang, and I just fell."
Grandpa saw that it was an old man and asked, "Oh! It turned out to be incense, by the way, old man, do you know that the woman who has been buried here in the last two days."
The old man looked at them suspiciously and said, "Woman, you're talking about the dream girl who was buried recently, that's a poor baby!" was lonely before his death, and he didn't even have a thin coffin after his death, hey! By the way, what do you do?"
Grandpa hurriedly took out the big front door in his arms and handed it over, and said, "Uncle, you see, we were entrusted to deliver a coffin to the dream girl, can you lead the way."
"Okay, then you follow me, be careful not to step on other people's graves, they are all poor people", the old man said, and did not take the big front door in front of him, so he led the way towards the innermost part of the Wind Valley, and Grandpa and the others hurriedly followed.
The road was quiet and a little infiltrating, only to hear the rope binding the coffin made a "crunch ~ crunch" sound, everyone could only follow the old man in front of them, but no one found that the sky above the valley had been shrouded in a layer of fog at some point.
"Wait~ Everyone, stop"
At this moment, Grandpa Tai suddenly turned around and stopped everyone, took out a peachwood sword from the package he was carrying, held it in his hand, grabbed Grandpa and retreated to the side of the four guys.
"Ahem~ahem, why don't you leave", the old man in front of him slowly turned around and lowered his head and said.
Grandpa also turned his head strangely and asked, "Old man, what's wrong?" Shocked.
Grandpa ignored him and shouted: You are a "person" here! We don't know you, why did you bring us here?
The old man lowered his head and said strangely: When did you find out?
Everyone also looked at Grandpa Tai strangely, and Grandpa Tai frowned and looked at the old man in front of him: When did I find out, you look down at the upper of your foot, there is no one in this deep mountain and wild valley all year round, the dead leaves on the ground rot to form a layer of mud, and the entire shoes of several of us are covered with sludge, but your upper is not contaminated with half a point, is this not enough?
The old man laughed strangely when he heard this, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay~ good eyes, what if you find out, put down the coffin, otherwise ~ die."
One of the coffin bearers scolded and said, ", you old bastard, you don't want to mix!" Pretending to be a ghost, scaring labor and management, be careful that I cut you".
The old man under the fog slowly raised his head, which had been lowered.
Everyone only felt a "bang" of their heads, their faces turned pale in an instant, they glanced at each other, looked at the old man in front of them, and took a step back.
I saw that the old man had a sharp-beaked monkey cheek, his face was as white as paper, and under the fog, he began to become in a trance and couldn't see the figure clearly.
The shrill voice came again: "Since you don't leave, then stay with us!" ”
"Stay ~ stay with us ~ stay with us"
"What a miserable death I had!"
Suddenly, countless faint figures appeared around everyone.
"Pillar, quickly take out the exorcism charm in the bag and distribute it to everyone, and then everyone guards the coffin, otherwise there will be a big incident today."
Seeing this, Grandpa hurriedly took out a stack of charms from his bag, distributed them to everyone, and pasted two on top of the coffin.
This situation is already very dangerous, ordinary ghosts tease pedestrians, people can't see its figure at all, and this obviously not human thing in front of them doesn't seem to want them to leave.
"What are you, why did you bring us here, we have no grievances with you, as long as you leave with these things, I will give you a thousand gold and silver, what?" Grandpa said nervously staring at the "thing" on the other side.
The "old man" made a strange noise, and the sharp-beaked monkey's gills looked like a weasel that had become a fine weasel, half-crouching on the ground, and his little eyes narrowed into a line staring at the coffin behind his grandfather.
"Junior, I just need this coffin, the broken paper money is useless to me, tear off those broken papers, hand over the coffin, this great immortal will not embarrass you, you can turn around and leave."
"Dad, why don't we ......?"
