Chapter 3: The Great Immortal

At the foot of the mountain, in the dirt pit. My grandfather and I dug up the garbage bags that had been filled in the pit and did see bones. The loess half-covered it, revealing a white-yellow hand bone.

At the foot of the mountain, it is the lowest part of the North Mountain, and there are the most graves. It stands to reason that the yin qi is the heaviest, but it happens to be this place, and almost ten hours of the day are shrouded in sunlight.

Normally, people don't approach that place, and even if they worship, it's a long way away.

Legend has it that the place existed hundreds of years ago, but to this day, there are still ghosts and fires every night.

And only the extremely heavy yin qi can give birth to ghost fire.

I was very scared, but my grandfather seemed very calm, at least on the surface. He pulled me to my knees and made me prostrate.

"The old man shouldn't have bothered, but my son was ignorant and collided with Daxian, so the old man was cheeky and begged Daxian to let go of my little grandson, and my Zhou family must be worshiped for generations!"

After speaking, he lit three sticks of incense and took out the paper money to burn it.

Strange to say, the wind was very strong that day, but the ashes of the paper money burned on the ground did not move at all.

I've heard a lot of stories since I was a child, and I know some things with my ears and eyes, and this situation is nothing more than the dead refusing to accept paper money.

When grandpa saw this scene, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't give up, he took out a handful of paper money, burned it all, burned it again, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Please let Daxian let my little grandson..."

Sure enough, just as Grandpa finished saying that, the paper ashes on the ground were blown up by the wind, and the incense quickly burned out. But only one burned out, and the other two went out directly. Seeing this, Grandpa inserted three more sticks of incense, and then took out all the offerings in the backpack and put them behind the incense.

Grandpa's expression darkened, and he sighed and pulled me up and patted me on the shoulder: "Let's go!" ”

The next place is the ancestral hall not far away. After I was dragged by my grandfather to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors, my grandfather dug out a bronze ring from the incense burner, because he was still young at that time, his fingers were too thin to wear, so he wore a red thread and put it around his neck.

Looking at my ignorant appearance, my grandfather sighed and shook his head, looked into my eyes and said, "Zhou You, it won't be easy to end like this, maybe this is fate." Now I'll just ask you, do you want to live? ”

Survival is an innate instinct of a person, and even though I am still young, I nod my head desperately.

"Wear it, maybe that's your fate." Grandpa touched the bronze ring around my neck and said with a wry smile.

"What is this?" I asked, confused.

"Legend has it that the benefactor who lives in it is the benefactor of the Zhou family, which we have worshiped for generations, and it is also the treasure of our Zhou family. If you wear it sincerely, maybe it will save you your life. Grandpa's frowning brows relaxed, furrowed again, and said with a wry smile.

I nodded as if I didn't understand, my stomach rumbling.

"Let's go home and cook and eat." Grandpa patted me on the head.

At this time, it was already approaching dusk, and the blood-like sunset hung in the sky. As the saying goes, it looks like it's not far from the foot of the mountain, but when we reached the halfway point of the mountain, it was already completely dark, and the tall North Mountain was like a giant beast crawling in the dark, waiting for the prey to break in.

Along the way, I always felt that someone was following me, and I even vaguely heard someone calling my name.

But my grandfather held my hand and said to me while speeding up: "Don't look back, don't look back, no matter who calls you, don't agree, that thing won't be you now, as long as you don't follow it, it won't be able to move you!"

Not only that, but we also saw many strange scenes along the way, and even encountered ghosts hitting the wall.

However, at the critical moment, the bronze ring around my neck suddenly began to burn, and everything in front of me became clear.

Taking advantage of this gap, my grandfather took my hand and ran down the mountain.

"Travel, go to grandpa's house to live today, close and safe. That thing knows about your house, but it can't find it at grandpa's. ”

"Good..."

There was such a big commotion before, and grandpa had informed the villagers early in the morning that they were ready. A large number of villagers had already gathered at the entrance of the village, and the wolf dogs of the whole village had also been brought over, and after my grandfather and I approached, dozens of big wolf dogs suddenly roared wildly behind us.

With this barking of the dog, my grandfather and I breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and the previous feeling of being on my back disappeared.

A man in his sixties and seventies greeted him with a flashlight and asked, "What do you say, is it done?"

Grandpa nodded, and shook his head again, which made the uncle a little strange: "What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Whether it is successful or not, give me an accurate word!"

Speaking of this, the grandfather looked around, leaned into the uncle's ear, lowered his voice and said, "I suspect that that thing may die with resentment!"

"Ghosts?" Uncle was also stunned, but he looked at me, then patted my grandfather on the shoulder and said, "Saving your grandson's life is serious, and the inheritance of your old Zhou family will definitely keep him safe!"

I saw that my grandfather was silent for a while, but finally nodded and dragged me into the village.

When I got home, my grandfather was smoking a dry tobacco pouch, but he was silent, and at that moment I saw that my grandfather seemed to be ten years old, and his face seemed to be full of helplessness.

Two days after the incident, Grandpa suddenly became very busy, went out early in the morning, and did not come back until dark.

His expression was always serious, and he didn't know what to think with a gloomy face.

That evening, I made dinner, but I didn't wait for my grandfather to come back, and it seemed to be getting darker than ever, and it was already night.

"Bang ....."
