Grandpa is a legend.

In our Wujia town, he is a well-known undertaker.

In the feng shui world, he is a well-known childhood plum ghost hand.

However, my grandfather told me that he was no longer alive.

At the time, I didn't know what my grandfather meant, and it wasn't until the Eight Spirits Coffin that appeared on the day of his funeral that I realized that it contained another hidden ...... that no one knew.

……

My name is Wu Fan, twenty years ago, my grandfather brought me back from a heavy snowfall, and since then we have depended on each other.

My grandfather not only treated me as his own, but also taught me all his skills and asked me to learn Feng Shui metaphysics from him.

In Feng Shui funeral, I have shown extraordinary talent since I was a child.

Within a few years, he learned his grandfather's skills.

Grandpa was also full of praise for this.

As the only undertaker in Wujia Town, Grandpa has collected countless corpses and ordered countless Yin houses in his life, and people in the nearby towns respect him very much.

Grandpa's body has always been very tough, even if he is over seventy years old, he doesn't need to rest when he walks dozens of miles.

But since he came back from an outing more than half a year ago, his health has deteriorated, as if he has some kind of strange disease, and now, he is even bedridden.

The reason why it is said to be a strange disease is that every time the night passes, a low roar will be heard from his house.

The voice was not human, but it was full of pain.

Every time I hear this, I feel extremely worried.

When I was a child, I once saw my grandfather fighting with a giant python on the mountain, and even if he was seriously injured, he never said a word, what kind of illness tortured him to such a hard man.

I wanted to go in, but my grandfather had more than once forbade me to enter the house or to bring in a doctor to see him.

I was worried, but I didn't dare to disobey my grandfather.

And grandpa's illness is a full seven months.

He used to be able to stay awake somewhat, but now he is getting more and more drowsy, and sometimes I even call him at the bedside, but there is no response.

If I couldn't still hear his breathing, I'm afraid he'd already be immortal.

But the abnormal thing is that on the ninth day of every month, Grandpa is much more energetic than before, as if his illness has been cured.

And every day, I will find that there is an extra set of shrouds at the head of his bed.

The shroud is white, which is obviously different from the ordinary shroud, and each shroud is also marked with a weird red number.

For each additional piece, the number is added by one place.

I asked my grandfather, but he didn't tell me anything, just muttered strange things like "the time is coming" and "everything will be ready soon".

Seeing my grandfather's thinner and thinner appearance, I was worried, but there was nothing I could do.

At the end of the year, my grandfather suddenly called me to my bed and asked me what day of the lunar calendar I was.

I was puzzled for a while, but I also answered him truthfully, it is now the eighth day of the lunar month.

In half a month, it will be the New Year.

I felt a pang of pain in my heart, many seriously ill old people had a hard time making it through the end of the year, and I was afraid that my grandfather would soon leave me.

My grandfather then asked me, "Is this a double leap year?" ”

I didn't understand why Grandpa asked, so I counted it on my fingers and replied that this year was indeed a double leap year, and the two leap months coincided.

When my grandfather heard my words, he was very excited and laughed: "It's time, finally let me wait!" It's really a good man......"

Seeing my grandfather's crazy expression, I was confused and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" ”

Grandpa didn't answer me.

He looked out the window at the snow and was silent for a long time.

"A double leap year, in terms of feng shui metaphysics, is an unavoidable year, and it may be a good omen."

Grandpa muttered to himself, then sighed and said, "It's a pity...... If you can survive until next year's leap month, great things can be accomplished, but unfortunately I can't wait, what the fate of the future will be, it depends on your own creation. ”

Grandpa's words made me a little confused.

Without waiting for me to ask, my grandfather immediately said something that shocked and puzzled me, "Tomorrow morning, you will light three firecrackers in front of the door." ”

I was taken aback.

Three firecrackers are the sound of funeral.

After three rings, the soul returns to the nine springs.

At the same time, it is also intended to inform the neighbors and villagers and send them mourning.

"Grandpa, you're still alive, why are you doing this?" I couldn't help but ask.

"Don't ask, you just need to do what I say, and you'll understand."

Grandpa didn't explain anything more to me.

After saying that, he waved his hand and motioned for me to leave.

Seeing my grandfather's tired appearance, my heart was like a knife.

I could feel that my grandfather was leaving me.

I have no father or mother since I was a child, and I don't know my own background, my grandfather is my only relative, although I was raised by him, but he has always treated me like his own grandson.

Although I know that life and death are not up to anyone, I still hope to be able to always be by my grandfather's side.

This night, I had mixed emotions and couldn't sleep, and in the middle of the night, I vaguely heard someone talking in my grandfather's room.

The voice was hoarse and low, unable to hear what they were saying.

It's late at night, who will come to grandpa at this time?

I felt strange in my heart, and I wanted to get up to look at it, but for some reason, my body seemed to be filled with lead, and I couldn't move.

Before I knew it, my consciousness was getting more and more groggy, but when I was half asleep, the sound of talking in my grandfather's room seemed to be in my ears all the time.

When it was almost dawn, I woke up.

Thinking of the strange voice at night, I hurriedly ran to my grandfather's room, and the moment I entered, my heart suddenly chuckled.

In front of grandpa's bed, there was another shroud.

Counting this one, there are a total of nine shrouds, neatly placed at the head of his bed.

But this time is different, the shrouds that appeared on the ninth day of the first month of the month were all white, but this one is as bright red as blood.

And this time, there are no more numbers for the shroud.

Seeing all this, my heart couldn't help but pinch up, and I had a bad premonition.

"Xiaofan, grandpa's time has come."

Grandpa said in a deep voice.

"Grandpa......" My nose was sore, and I couldn't hold back my tears.

"Good boy, don't be upset." Grandpa touched it reluctantly. My head, smiled and said to me: "People will eventually die, I am already a dead man, I have suffered until today, everything is for you." ”

For me?

I looked up in confusion, and I always felt that there was something else in my grandfather's words.

He stopped my inquiry, waved his hand and said, "My time is running out, you must remember the next few things." ”

"The first thing I told you yesterday is that after dawn, light three firecrackers in front of the door to mourn the neighbors."

I nodded and listened intently.

"The second thing, the people who come to mourn, no matter what they give, you can't accept them, let alone leave them overnight, after the funeral is done, you must let them leave."

I nodded again.

"The third thing, and the one thing you must accomplish."

Grandpa said again: "After sending all the guests away, when it is night, you go to Wolong Lake, there is a locust tree, and there is something buried under the tree, you dig it out, remember, you must bring it back before dawn!" ”

"But grandpa, Wolong Lake is dozens of miles away from our Wujia Town, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up before dawn......"

I couldn't help but be surprised to hear this third thing.

But I was not allowed to hesitate, my grandfather said solemnly: "I can catch up!" Just remember to turn things back as soon as you get them! Don't agree to anything anyone asks you to do, or it will lead to a big mess!! ”

I was shocked, listening to my grandfather's meaning, could there be other things by Wolong Lake?

Although I was puzzled, I nodded seriously and took my grandfather's words to heart.

As if he had a premonition that his time was running out, Grandpa spoke more and more urgently, and continued: "In addition to what I just said, there is one more thing you should keep in mind. ”

I hurriedly said, "Grandpa, you said, I will definitely do it." ”

"After I die, you don't have to keep filial piety for me, take what you dug up from Wolong Lake, and find a person with a pure yin life to send me out of the funeral overnight with you, except for you, there can be no third person on the way out of the funeral!"

"The direction of the funeral is to the south, the things you bring back by Wolong Lake, you and the person who is pure yin life will exchange and take it every half an hour, on the way out of the funeral, no matter what you hear or see, don't pay attention to it, let alone look back!!"

Speaking of this, Grandpa couldn't help coughing violently a few times, and his expression became more and more tired.

Seeing this, I felt very uncomfortable.

I know that my grandfather has run out of oil and the lamp is dry.

It's just that I didn't understand a little, so I couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, if there can't be anyone else at the funeral, then who will carry the coffin?" ”
