Chapter 117: The Funeral of the Soldier
The pit was more than two meters deep and boxy, and it was full of claw marks, and the lantern rat was long gone! Overnight, the whole forest was turned upside down, as if after a big battle, and the neat grave in front of me was even more jaw-dropping!
"Second brother!"
Even the third uncle was full of surprise, and turned his head to look at my father, who was also solemn, but after groaning, he still said according to his grandfather's instructions: "Come on!" Late will change! β
After that, my father jumped down to the grave first, and when the third uncle saw this, he also followed and said to me:
"Go and keep watch! Remember, don't let anyone in! β
I nodded, and went straight to the outside of the forest, this forest is not far from the village, at first it was the neighbor's own land, but at that time the labor force was low, wasteland abounded, and the trees had been planted when they were distributed to the people, and over time no one came to this kind of field, only when the family encountered an emergency, they would think of cutting down the trees here for money! Therefore, the forest is surrounded by weeds, and most of them are pulled grass with serrated teeth, and the sheep do not eat even if they are cut back and fed to the sheep!
It is precisely because of this that this barren forest has been able to preserve the most primitive landform, leaving this middle way, I am alone in the weeds outside the forest, although there is silence behind me, but I can never be calm in my heart!
At this moment, I have roughly understood grandpa's intentions, although the morale luck of the country is now on the head of my old Zheng family, but the national morale has been passed down since ancient times, even if it is declining now, it will not be completely wiped out if it is cut off!
Therefore, he fed ghosts with his body, wanting to cut off his luck first, and invited ten thousand ghosts to slay the dragon by borrowing the fortune of the national soldiers, and wanted to kill the morale of the country that had been passed down for thousands of years! No matter what kind of luck, even the most ordinary one, if it can be passed down for thousands of years, it will definitely be an extraordinary existence, so last night it was born that luck dragon! It is the manifestation of national morale luck!
But obviously, with the power of ten thousand ghosts, it is not easy to completely cut off the morale of the country, after all, this is a great act of slaughtering the world, and it is the same earth-shattering thing as Cao Cao's tomb robbery back then, but one is broken, and the other is standing!
That's why I let my father and my third uncle go into the coffin first, and then cut off the inheritance of our scholars! And because my luck has changed, I can avoid being put in the coffin!
I sat outside the forest, holding back the anxiety in my heart, silently counting the passage of time, finally dusk was approaching, I just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw a figure slowly walking towards the sunset!
I ducked back, but it seemed that the man was coming straight into the woods!
"Could it be that last night's movement was discovered by the villagers?"
I secretly said in my heart, praying that he was just passing by, but in the end it was obviously not as I wished, and the person came straight closer, and his appearance became clearer and clearer, and my heart couldn't help sinking:
"Old Qingtou!"
Lao Qingtou is quite powerful in the village, but the family is ill-fated, I first saw the soul was at his son's funeral, when my grandfather first came here, Lao Qingtou was still the leader of the village, and the relationship with my grandfather was also harmonious, but later his family changed again and again, white-haired people sent black-haired people one after another, after learning about grandpa's means, several times asked grandpa to crack for him, but the art of the countryman, only auxiliary emperor, grandpa did not help, one and two, Lao Qingtou Xu is resentful, and the relationship with grandpa is getting worse and worse, Later, they stopped coming and going, and they used their power in the village to oppress everywhere, even my father and his three brothers were not spared!
It seems that Lao Qingtou came here suddenly, it is not a coincidence!
Seeing this, I had no choice but to greet him and said with a smile:
"Master! Have you eaten it? It's going to be dark soon, why are you still running here? β
Lao Qingtou was shocked when he heard this, turned his head to look at me, and also smiled: "Eh! After eating, this is not idle to come out and pick up some firewood! β
"Gather firewood! Oh! β
I looked Lao Qingtou up and down, and he didn't bring any guys:
"Master! Isn't your house a coal burner? When did you change the fire to the ground? β
"What's that, he just didn't burn firewood for cooking with coal! What are you doing here? When did you come back? β
I was about to speak, but looking at Lao Qingtou's eyes constantly looking into the forest, my heart suddenly moved, and I said softly: "Master, you are not an outsider, you also know the affairs of my family, this forest is not clean!" If you're interested, join me tonight! β
Hearing this, Lao Qingtou's face couldn't help but change, and he sneered: "Hehe, what, my waist is not good recently, you see that my back hurts as soon as I move, so what, let your master come to me to sit when he is free!" I'll go back first! β
I watched Lao Qingtou turn around and leave, and I couldn't help sneering in my heart, I wanted it to cover up, but it was better to be real than the real thing! Because of the reputation of my old Zheng family, this old Qingtou has to retreat three points!
Lao Qingtou walked farther and farther, until he disappeared at the end of sight, and the sunset finally dissipated, and the black came!
I looked at the forest with some concern, and after waiting for a long time, there was still no abnormal movement, and I slowly relaxed my heart! I stared intently at the night until the first rays of dawn were revealed, and my tense mind was slightly relaxed, and it was only at this time that I realized that my whole body was soaked with sweat!
And in the sight, there were finally two figures gradually revealed, and I slowly got up, but as soon as I stood up, somehow, a shock and severe pain suddenly hit my body, and I couldn't stop slumping to the ground in an instant! The internal organs seemed to have undergone a knife cut in an instant, but fortunately it didn't last too long, but only half a minute, this sharp pain dissipated, I slowly got up with my hands on the ground, the appearance of the third uncle and my father was already vaguely arguable, but the two were worried, I hurriedly wiped the cold sweat on my forehead, and then stood up straight!
But when I went up, I saw that my father and third uncle were also embarrassed, and the two of them were covered in mud, needless to say, their faces were extremely pale, and they even staggered when they walked!
"Daddy! Third uncle! What's wrong!? β
I hurriedly hugged the two of them, and my father was the first to say, "Come home!" I'm afraid something has changed! β
I was shocked when I heard this, and I had already guessed the meaning of his words in my heart, and immediately led the two of them to walk quickly towards the house, but as soon as I arrived at the west slope, I saw Zhou Wenwu rushing wildly, his face was full of anxiety, and my heart couldn't help but sink:
"Monk! What's wrong?γγγ! β
"No, no! Hurry up! β
Although I had speculation in my heart, I still couldn't hold back when I heard this at this moment, and the tears in my eyes almost burst out of my eyes, and I directly handed over my father and third uncle to Zhou Wenwu, and strode towards home!
When I came to the hall, I saw that my grandfather was already lying in the thunderbolt wooden coffin!
"Master! I'm back! β
He lay flat in the coffin, his expression was calm, but his face was full of gloom, not like a dying man, but like he had been dead for a long time!
"It's back! It's good to be back! It's good to be back! Where's your dad? β
"Daddy! I'm here, and so is the third child! You... What else do you have to say? β
My father and Zhou Wenwu also rushed over at this time, the four of us gathered in front of this lightning strike wooden coffin, our eyes met, the grief did not need to be explained, grandpa slowly rolled his eyes, looked at us and said:
"What happens next is about my survival! Remember, in the meantime, don't let a woman go home! Break the yin and yang! After I die, I will be at the funeral tonight, and then ... β
"Master! No, you won't die! β
I couldn't help but interrupt my grandfather, but his tone changed, and he said sharply: "Listen to me, I have lost my luck, this is the only chance!" Whether the morale of the country can be cut off or not, it's all here! Don't let anything go wrong! Remember, when the child is at the funeral, you are the only one who carries the flag, and your father and they all need to be avoided! And, remember, after I'm gone!
Don't mourn! No sacrifice! Do not carry the coffin! β
"Don't carry the coffin? What about me alone... β
The weight of the wooden coffin struck by lightning was difficult for me to move alone, but my grandfather continued: "Don't worry, there will be someone who carries the coffin, but you must remember that between the funerals, no matter who calls you, you must not agree!" No matter who stands in the way, don't stop the coffin! After I am buried, I shall not seal the earth, and if I meet γγγγγγ β
Grandpa's voice grew weaker and weaker, and at last I had to listen to him, and he finally said, "If nothing goes wrong, the dragon vein will appear!" As soon as the dragon vein is broken, the morale and luck of this country will be completely extinct! But you can't move this dragon vein! β
"I don't move? So who slays the dragon? β
"Someone will come to break the dragon! It's just that... It's just that even if everything is so, it only breaks the morale and luck of my country, but it can keep me safe! But you... Speaking of this, Grandpa actually shed tears and said slowly: "Although such luck is broken, the cause and effect need to be cut off by you personally!" At that time, you will have to leave alone and change your name! No turning back! No return to the homeland! Don't have anything to do with my Zheng family anymore! Otherwise, all the work will be wasted! Did you write it down? β
"Written down! Don't look back, don't go home, don't have the surname Zheng! Cause and effect will not disappear, and there will be no return! β
Hearing this, the grandfather nodded slowly, looked at the third uncle and said, "The third one!" After this, you must not be touched by the self-determination of luck! Remember! β
"Daddy! Don't worry, I remember! β
"Alas, I hope God blesses you well, it's me Zheng You, I'm ashamed of the way of heaven! That's it, that's it, that's itγγγγγ! β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Grandpa kept speaking, but it stopped abruptly!
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
"Master!"
No matter how much we shouted, he didn't move!
"Boom!"
At the same time, the sky was clear, thunderstorms suddenly appeared, and suddenly dark clouds overwhelmed the sky, covering the sky and the sun, like a solar eclipse! Inside the hall, there was a sudden shock, the incense ash was raging, and the yellow paper was flying, like a whirlwind, enveloping the entire hall!
On this day, the drought and thunder did not stop day long, but not a drop of rain fell! The incense ash in the hall was paved on the ground, and the yellow paper in the sky finally turned into countless crumbs and sprinkled down! It won't be until the time of the child is approaching!
It was so rare that the whole village was quiet, and there was not the slightest movement!
Seeing that the time was approaching, my father broke the silence and said, "The time is coming!" I'm going to make you a banner! The third child, civil and military, you should avoid it first! β
After a while, my father handed me a white flag, and my father and son met their eyes, but they didn't say much, and my father finally went back to my grandfather's room! In the whole courtyard, I was the only one, guarding in front of my grandfather's coffin!
As the hour was approaching, I fell on my knees in front of the coffin, kowtowed, and shouted:
"Filial son funeral!
Idlers avoid!
The national soldier is buried!
The Emperor Salutes!
Rise! β
I shouted, and then got up, and at this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the hall, and in my unbelievable gaze, nine golden snakes came straight up, and twenty-eight yellow skins followed!
The big snake came to the house from my feet, and all of them went downstream towards the lightning strike wooden coffin, regardless of the divine power of the lightning strike wood, and the lightning strike wooden coffin that required the joint efforts of the four of me to lift it was actually resisted by these nine big snakes!
I swallowed, and the yellow skins moved with it, and in an instant, I picked up the yellow paper all over the floor, and it was neatly lined up in two pairs, sandwiching me in the middle!
I resisted the shock in my heart, put the white flag on my shoulder, and shouted:
"Let's go!"
