Chapter 3: The Red Lacquered Coffin

"Ahh I'll go! Heavenly spirits, earth spirits, and all kinds of immortals are about to appear! ”

I quickly took out the self-defense charm I had in my pocket and slapped it on the black cat's head.

Suddenly, the strange pale blue gradually dimmed, the cat's eyes showed a cloudy gray-white, and the yellow rune paper was slowly printed with blood-red characters: "Buried". My scalp was numb, but I knew in my heart that this matter was actually over.

On the rune paper, if there are some red characters like ghostly drawings, it must be uncontrollable, and there must be chaos. But if that's the case, it's actually calm.

The black cat is nothing more than relying on this yellow rune paper to explain some of his last wishes.

I dug a pit with my hands. Because I didn't dare to hold the cat directly, I was about to try to lift the barrel again, but I didn't expect the bucket to be easily pulled out by me, and I stumbled back a few times because of too much force, and almost fell.

"It's scary......"

I muttered to myself, and a thought that came to my mind that I didn't dare to think deeply of: black cat blue eyes.

In the whole village, there are many black cats, but they are basically yellow-eyed and green-eyed. Only Yu Xin's cat is blue-eyed.

Coincidental?

The cat looks dead for two days, and if Yu Xin were alive and knew that the cat was dead, he would probably be heartbroken......

I filled it in with the soil and breathed a sigh of relief. Yu Xin is over there, and she is accompanied by a kitten, which is a good thing!

I don't know how long it took to finish this, but it was a little dark.

I looked back and the road was empty. I tidied up my clothes and went to the pond to wash my hands. I patted my empty pockets - I came out today with two talismans, and they were all used up, and they looked like they were going home.

This daddy's talisman still works!

I touched my chin, such a resentful animal can be solved, then it must be a piece of cake to cross the undead. Even if it's too late today, what should I say?

My eyes rolled, yo! Guys!

I told Mr. Yu that I was carefully preparing for the guy's business at home, so it was delayed! But...... I forgot about it when I came out in a hurry just now, but fortunately this cat stopped me, and if I went directly, what a shame.

I cautiously pushed open the door and looked around. The door of the second brother's room is still closed.

God help me!

I slipped into my room, grabbed my things and ran out.

Without walking into the door of Uncle Yu's house, I felt that the aura of the whole house seemed to be wrong, and I didn't think much about it.

The anger of the house is closely related to the owner, perhaps the girl from the old man's house has died, and the house is holding a funeral, so this house exudes a cold dead air.

"Arwen, you're here, and I'm going back to look for you, why did you arrive so late?"

Uncle Yu's anxious voice came from inside the door, interrupting my thoughts.

I laughed and said, "Whew! When I went out, I pinched my fingers and calculated that I should prepare something, but no, it was too late. ”

Thanks to the fact that I had already thought of the rhetoric.

Uncle Yu glanced at me gratefully, held my arm, and welcomed me into the courtyard. The further you go inside, the more cold it becomes. The eaves of the entire house are covered with white flowers, and lanterns with the word "lay" written on them are hung at the doors.

There was no wind, but the candles in the white lanterns flickered and dimmed, and the whole courtyard was bright and dark. I don't know who opened the door to the attic, and the piercing "squeak" sound echoed in the silent courtyard.

The whole house was enveloped in an eerie atmosphere.

Uncle Yu carried me to the hall, and he said with a half-choked voice: "I'll go out to fetch water, my daughter... My daughter, she's..."

I didn't know what to say, so I gently patted Uncle Yu's hand to express comfort.

To be honest, I'm scared too. It's not that I'm afraid of seeing dead people, because I can see feminine things when I'm young, it's still a strange kind, and when I see it, it's basically at night, so I rarely go out at night.

And now...... I always felt that there was some shadow floating in the hall at the door of the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window.

And also...... Why, when there is no wind, these lanterns are also faintly moving......

"It's here! Here she is. Uncle Yu's tone was sad, and he staggered and half-knelt beside the coffin, "Daughter...... After beating your mother, I will depend on you for my life, I thought that I could prepare a red makeup wedding dress for you, and you can send me to the end, now ...... Woo...... What to do now! ”

In front of me was a coffin painted with red paint, and the pattern of cranes and auspicious clouds was painted on it.

Obviously, this coffin was prepared by Uncle Yu for himself. The older ones are called happy mourners, and those who die before they are twenty like this can only sleep in a black coffin. Such a funeral that defies common sense is enough to see the suddenness of the incident. The red coffin itself is meant to dilute the sad atmosphere, but this red coffin has a kind of pathos like a cuckoo crying blood......

The closer I got to the coffin, the more noticeable it became, and when I walked to the edge of the coffin, I felt that the temperature around me was a few degrees lower.

Uncle Yu patted the coffin and handed me a cigarette, but I waved my hand and refused. He smiled wryly and took out his cigarette and pulled out the matchbox.

The matchstick "brushed" and "brushed" twice, but I saw a stream of green smoke floating from the matchstick. Uncle Yu's hands trembled badly, and with a wry smile, he put the cigarettes and matches on the tribute table in front of the coffin.

He said: "She left in a hurry, and she left unjustly!" She didn't know the way, and I was afraid that she would be alone on the road and lost...... I'm afraid that she will always be nostalgic and refuse to leave...... I just want to ask Master Gu to do some rituals. ”

I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I wanted to say something, but I was also worried that what I shouldn't say with my usual flamboyant mouth would make him sad even more.

"Hmm...... Look at me, don't worry, I will definitely let your daughter go. ”

As I spoke, I took out a yellow piece of paper and drew a spell and pasted it on the coffin.

Although it was a little cold around, I didn't feel scared. After all, it's just a supernatural ritual for the drowning person. I lifted my breath according to what my father taught on weekdays, and shook my head and shouted:

The beginning is light, bright, and the eight treasures above the head.

Open your eyes and look at the West, Elysium is home.

Open the slap, smell the ten directions, the immeasurable heavenly venerable king of the law.

Open the nose light, smell the wonderful fragrance, and smoke the ten thousand methods to cultivate the meeting light.

Open the mouth light, eat fasting incense, and do not make enemies with animals.

Happy light, manifest phase, ten thousand laws are harmonious and auspicious.

Open your hands, grab money and food, and run to the West with lotus flowers in your hands.

Open the footlight, on the lotus platform, all the saints lead to Dengle Bang.

At the moment when the last word came out, I felt a tremendous force come from the red coffin towards my face and chest, and for a moment it seemed as if all my internal organs had shifted their positions. A feeling of nausea rushed upwards, the smell of blood filled the entire mouth, and the throat felt like a myriad of thorns.

My cheeks hurt a lot, too.

After a period of dizziness, the entire mourning hall in front of him was spinning. The red coffin, incense candles, and tribute fruits are all twisted into strange shapes!
