128.Chapter 128
Let's take a closer look at the wooden box, it's basically in good condition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The fly in the ointment is that the inside of the house is damp, and the wooden box has been placed in such an environment for more than 20 years, and some of it is already rotting and decaying, especially the corners that I picked and dropped just now, and a few cracks have been opened in the corners of the force.
This is all to make that black snake trouble.
However, the dried corpse hanging from the tree is also an old corpse, and the person has been dead for many years, and the body has been hollowed out, which is like a container with a hole that cannot be used, I am afraid that its soul has gone where it should be, or the person who destroyed the corpse has dissipated into nothingness.
So the box and the corpse are old things, so they can barely make do with it!
When I came out of the house with the box in my arms, I subconsciously looked to the west, and the drunken snake I had just thrown out of the window was still sleeping limply under the wall.
I ignored it, walked quickly under the dead tree, gently lowered the box, and then raised my hand to remove the dried corpse, and held it gently into the box.
Next, I took a brush and paint for the underworld and began to seal the coffin.
Originally, if a person had just died, it was necessary to carve a series of cumbersome and strict procedures such as ornamentation, lacquering, and nailing a coffin with special functions.
I just drew the basic ornamentation in some places on the wooden box.
Because I was a little tired from staying up late and couldn't catch up on my sleep for the time being, I felt that my brain was a little slow to react, and I was a little slow when I was thinking about it.
When I had done this, I got up and looked for a few branches, intending to make a simple back frame for this improvised coffin, so that I could take it to its burial place later.
At this time, I found out that the drunken snake was gone, probably because the wine had dispersed and sneaked away, right?
It's past noon, but I'm not hungry yet......
By the time I tied the small coffin to the back frame and walked slowly out of the village, it was even more gloomy, and it seemed that it was going to rain, and it seemed that I had to hurry.
Because the first time I saw the child's corpse, its face was facing northeast, I decided to go in this direction to find a resting place for it.
The northeast direction is the Dilong River, and the west side is the Shima Mountain, which is just right to sleep on the mountain and face the water.
Standing at the entrance of the village and observing, the direction I was going had a wide view, there were no trees, but there was undulating terrain in the distance facing the river bay, and I almost subconsciously decided to bury it there, but the specific location of the crypt had to wait until there to make a decision.
Unfortunately, Shima Village had been abandoned for so long that there was no obvious road to pass, so I walked to the side with the coffin on my back.
After leaving the entrance of the village, I walked about eight or nine hundred meters away, and suddenly I felt as if there was movement behind me.
But according to the funeral rules that my father told me, there is absolutely no turning back in the process of helping the coffin out of the village.
What's more, I was carrying a dead man on my back.
I scolded the man lurking in the shadows in my heart: Damn! It seems that he is also quite familiar with this process, and he has grasped the timing quite accurately!
He doesn't have to hide his tracks now, and even if he swaggers after him, I can't look back.
Further on, the voice behind me is getting closer:
Rustle rustle!
The sound was actually not loud, like a silkworm eating mulberry leaves, but it made my back cold.
What to do?
If you turn back, I don't know how many unknown troubles will follow!
Uh, but, after all, my life is the most important thing, should I break the rules and go back to the battle?......
I was about to turn my head desperately to see what was going on, when I heard a rustling sound that had reached my heels.
I subconsciously lowered my head and said to myself, "Ah, don't look back, but it's always okay to look underground, right?"
At this time, my ankle bones were cold, and something was grazing against me.
Just in front of my sight, it turned out to be the black snake again.
My heartstrings, which had been tense, finally loosened, and my heart said that this is the case, this guy always loves to be haunted.
If it's the one that's trailing, I'm not worried at all, even if it's taking a bite on my leg now.
I have an antidote with me, it's just a little pain, it's not fatal.
But then the black snake showed no signs of attacking me, it was neither ahead nor behind, it was only accompanying me at my feet.
Interesting.
I didn't expect that there was a temporary funeral, and it was still a snake.
Because of the local funeral customs in Shaliu Town, only Mr. Yin and Yang are the forerunners, and other living people are not allowed to walk in front of the coffin.
I'm actually the character of Mr. Yin and Yang now, and the position of the black snake is almost all in line with the small coffin, which can be seen by me, but it is not exceeded, because the coffin is on my back.
Generally, the person who is passed over the head by the coffin is an immediate family member who bridged the bridge for the deceased.
Could it be that the black snake and the dried corpse have such a relationship?
In addition, I soon discovered that the Black Snake seemed to be leading me again.
Since I was basically walking in a straight line, if I deviated slightly on the way, the black snake would use its cool body to rub my ankle bone, so that I could adjust the direction in time.
Soon came to the place where the dried corpse was buried.
In fact, to be precise, I was guided by the black snake to find the exact location.
As soon as I saw the small tomb in front of me, I knew that this was the resting place of the dried corpses, and that it had only been maliciously dug out before I arrived.
So I'm kind of burying it in the same place for the second time now.
Because its body was taken away before, I will send it back now, so I can't just bury it.
The body and the tomb are destroyed, and the soul naturally leaves and goes with the wind.
I couldn't help but sigh, it looked like I had to perform a coffin ritual for it, and see if I could bring its soul back again.
Smoking the coffin, in fact, is not to bury the coffin for the time being, first build a cellar-type burial chamber for the coffin above the tomb, and then light a soul-attracting lamp directly in front of the coffin to guide the disoriented soul.
At the same time, because the dry corpse has been replaced with a coffin, it also needs to be treated at the bottom of the coffin, so that it can sleep forever and "do not recognize the bed".
In fact, it's just doing what I should do, its body is so badly damaged, and the soul attraction thing is not optimistic.
However, what needs to be done still needs to be done!
Next, I carefully set up the back frame, and first cleaned up the damaged tomb and simply converted it into a cellar burial chamber.
Fortunately, the owner of the tomb died young, and the tomb occupies a small area, so the workload is not large, and I did not have much time to complete it.
The coffin smoking ceremony takes three days, and after three days I can officially bury the coffin.
I also had to make some more arrangements to prevent the creature from coming back and destroying the poor child's resting place.
Otherwise, what if he became addicted to evil and came to dig graves endlessly?
......
The coffin was placed again, the sesame oil lamp was lit and protected from the wind.
Once again, I did the same and drunk the black snake.
Why?
I apologized slightly, and regardless of whether it understood it or not, I explained to Black Snake:
"I'm sorry, I don't know if you are a relative or a friend of the tomb owner, now I have to wronged you for three days, stay here and guard it. If that guy comes to wreak havoc again, bite him, don't show mercy!
In three days' time, I'll try to find a new Guardian to replace you. ”
After saying this, I began to use the secret method of the ghost gate that my father had taught, preparing to instill this command of mine into the consciousness of the black snake.
Try soul communication......
Well, it responds!
But then I was shocked and angry at what I perceived, and I screamed in my consciousness, "You, how could it be you!"
