Chapter 3 Tianchi Boy

In the southwest of the Northern Song Dynasty, in a crooked valley, a dilapidated mansion is located here. Two fierce stone lion carvings, towering outside the dark wooden door, behind the stone lion, two braziers illuminate the door in front of a few zhang distance.

There is a vermilion plaque hanging on the door beam, and the plaque is engraved with the words "heaven and earth", which is vigorous and powerful. In the courtyard, the lights are bright, and the smell of incense and candles permeates the entire house.

Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall, also known as Tang Yi Ancestral Hall. Where there are rivers and lakes, there is his existence. Behind each ancestral hall is a huge cemetery for the burial of the bones of these fallen corpses.

An hour later, the fifth uncle led the horses to the outside of the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall, which was only a small rudder in the southwest. Behind the fifth uncle, there is also the jumping corpse that never leaves.

The fifth uncle took the sleeping Tang Xi from the horse and went straight to the ancestral hall. After jumping a few steps, the jumping corpse stopped at the door, not daring to move forward, as if something was blocking its footsteps. just jumped out of the corpse's mouth and kept shouting: "Give me back my legs." ”

Pushing open the black door, the fifth uncle did not stop and went straight to the backyard. The fifth uncle's actions caused Tang Yi, who was resting in the hall, to look out, only to see a corpse with a missing limb standing outside the door, looking at the door with blank eyes, and saying something in his mouth.

"Damn, jumping corpses!" said one of the men, who quickly closed the door, and then exclaimed.

When the man had done everything, he walked to the hall, lit three incense candles, and bowed down to the candelabra in the hall, still muttering incessantly. There are no stone statues of gods and Buddhas on the candlesticks, only a tablet with the words "Heaven and Earth" written on them.

"Chen Ergou, just you are cowardly, aren't you just a jumping corpse, and besides, you didn't provoke it, look at how scared you look. The man of the same age walked up to Chen Ergou, who was worshipping, and said with a smile.

In the hall, the newcomer Tang Yi was made up and down by Chen Ergou's actions.

"Poison people, don't talk nonsense, I'm in awe, not afraid. After Chen Ergou glanced at the young man beside him, he continued: "You don't go in yet, let's see if you can help the fifth uncle." ”

The man who is known as the poisoned man, his real name is Du Ziren, and the poisoned man is a nickname given by his peers. Du Ziren is more easy-going, and he is not half uncomfortable with this nickname.

After Du Ziren nodded, he walked into the inner room and heard angry scolding from the house.

"Tang Wu, you are an old man, don't you know "Tang Yi Five No", it's good now. asked you to take the newcomer to collect the corpse, but the newcomer ran away, not to mention, you still caused such a big trouble, don't you know ......?"

When Du Ziren heard that the elder had lost his temper, he didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly walked out. In the hall, everyone saw Du Ziren bowing his head and was silent, and asked one after another.

In the inner room, next to the fifth uncle, there was an old man dressed in gray, with a red face and red ears, and a few wisps of black and white goat's whiskers, looking extremely angry as the old man breathed up and down.

On the bed, on Tang Xi's pale face, sweat condensed. The fifth uncle was wiping the sweat on Tang Xi's forehead with a cloth towel.

"Grandpa Sun, don't blame the fifth uncle, it's Xi'er who is disobedient and has caused trouble again. Tang Xi was dazed and whispered.

When Tang Xi was carried into the inner room, the nightmare disappeared, but his body was extremely weak, and even the strength to speak was Tang Xi's strength before he could barely say these words.

"You have a good rest, Grandpa Sun will find a way for you. Elder Sun walked up to Tang Xi, stroked Tang Xi's forehead with a kind gaze, and said softly.

Elder Sun called the fifth uncle out of the inner room, and saw that the rain did not stop, and the two did not speak. They all knew in their hearts that Tang Xi was safe for now, but Tang Xi's body was too weak.

"Elder, I'll go and burn that jumping corpse!" said the fifth uncle after thinking about it.

The farther away the jumping corpse is from Tang Creek, the less disturbance Tang Creek will be. It was precisely because of the two stone lions outside the door that blocked the jumping corpse that Tang Xi woke up from the nightmare.

"If you burn it, the soul of the jumping corpse will be entangled in Tang Xi for eternity, do you want to kill him? Now that there is a stone lion blocking the corpse out, and the soul cannot leave the body, Tang Xi has turned color. Elder Sun sighed and continued, "You should go to Wuliang Mountain tomorrow to find a warlock to try!"

After a cup of tea, the fifth uncle was dressed in a robe and walked out of the ancestral hall of heaven and earth with Du Ziren and Chen Ergou. The fifth uncle glanced at the blank jumping corpse, and pulled the horse and walked into the distance.

With the departure of the fifth uncle, the dark door of the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall was closed. The Tang clothes in the hall also returned to their rooms, ready to eliminate the fatigue of the day. The ancestral hall fell silent, and at this time, except for the sound of thunderstorms outside the window drowning out the jumping corpses, only the sound of the explosion of incense and candles burning under the tablets of heaven and earth in the hall remained.

The night was dark, and the night of thunderstorms slowly calmed down, and the rain gradually became lighter

"Collect the corpse" The voice outside the ancestral hall woke up the Tang Yi who were resting in the courtyard. After everyone cleaned up briefly, they began to get busy.

The corpse is first registered, and then all the belongings of the corpse are looted, and then it is buried in the mound in the valley.

As the sky grew brighter, the rain disappeared, revealing a clear blue sky. The sun slowly passed through the clouds, revealing her already swollen and red face, like a shy little girl looking at the earth. The Tang Yi threw away the tools at hand and opened up to enjoy this beautiful world.

The door of the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall opened, and the jumping corpse at the door was still like the night, chattering in his mouth, as if he had endless strength. After being washed by the rain, his body swelled a lot, and his clothes showed signs of chipping.

"I met this thing early in the morning, what an evil door!" a vigorous and powerful voice came. alarmed the Tang Yi who were cleaning the hall.

Tang Yi, led by a few, walked out of the door, only to see an old man with a body of no more than three feet standing next to the jumping corpse, with white silk and silver hair intersecting with his beard, and he couldn't tell where the beard was and where the hair was. A round and full forehead, without a trace of wrinkles, and under the long silver eyebrows, a pair of big eyes stared at the jumping corpse. The old man was dressed in a silver silk robe and held a black wooden cane in his right hand, giving people a feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world.

"Bad luck, bad luck!" the old man said with a cane in his right hand, a silver beard in his left hand, holding his eyes, walking around the jumping corpse, crooked his rosy lips.

The old man raised his crutches, knocked on the forehead of the jumping corpse at will, and continued: "Shut up, are you tired, the old man is tired of listening." ”

With this knock of the old man, the jumping corpse was like an obedient child, and the chatter that did not stop all night quickly disappeared. The old man didn't look back, and walked in towards the Heaven and Earth Ancestral Hall.

"Sun boy, your grandfather Tianchi is here, why don't you come out to see you soon. As the old man walked into the hall, his voice rang out.

After hearing this, Elder Sun and Fifth Uncle hurriedly ran to the old man's side, and the two of them knelt down at the same time, and said in unison:

"Elder Tang Yi's southwest branch paid a visit to the Tianchi boy. ”

"Tang Yi and Tang Wu greeted the Tianchi boy. ”

Tianchi Boy didn't speak, his eyes looked at the jumping corpse outside the door, and then after ten breaths, the jumping corpse's body instantly turned into ashes.

"Ah......" Just as the body of the jumping corpse turned into ashes, Tang Xi, who was lying in the inner room and collapsed, suddenly let out a roar.
