When I could see what was hidden under the coffin, I felt that my mind was spinning, and I could only barely stand against the wall.

My mother's body was really not in the coffin, and the thing that made that "inhaling" sound was a snake!

And not an ordinary snake.

I grew up in the countryside and have seen a lot of snakes, but I have never seen such a strange snake.

Its body was rough and covered in grayish-white scales, a hard bump bulged from its forehead, its head was in the shape of a flat millstone, its mouth was slightly long, it spat scarlet letters, and its eyes glowed green.

What the hell is this, how can there be a snake in my mother's coffin!

I almost broke down, but I couldn't make a sound in my throat because I was afraid.

The second uncle even twisted his brows into a Sichuan character, "Tomb meal, someone is using your mother's coffin to raise tomb food, this thing is highly poisonous, and it can destroy the feng shui of the Zhou family, no wonder the residual shade on the ancestors of the Zhou family was consumed so quickly." ”

My eyes were confused, and I asked him what was a grave meal?

The second uncle sighed and said that in the past, people liked to build the grave in a relatively shady place, once it rained, the surface of the grave would sink, and the water would gradually accumulate, forming a "yin field".

There is a type of snake that runs under this grave to lay eggs, and when the eggs hatch, they feed on the flesh of dead people in coffins, and the longer they grow, the fatter they get.

This snake is the grave eel.

Because he grew up eating dead human flesh since he was a child, the fangs of the tomb eel carry corpse gas, which is highly poisonous, and will destroy the family's feng shui.

I was dumbfounded, and I didn't know how to react at all.

The second uncle's face stiffened like a stone, "First of all, I ate the meat of dead people and grew up chickens, and then this tomb eel, it seems that someone already knows that I am here, and this thing is arranged here in advance, specially used to calculate us." ”

I was taken aback, shook my head and said, "But, but you have only just arrived, and even the prince doesn't know when you will come, how can others know?" ”

The second uncle pursed his lips, "Don't forget, when we worshiped your mother in the back mountain just now, we once met a person. ”

Chief?

I was shocked, my hair stood on end, my eyes widened, I shook my head desperately and said,

"Impossible, the village chief can't calculate us!"

"Why can't it be?"

The second uncle looked at me with a pair of gray eyes and made a cold analysis.

The village chief said that he saw the grandfather dig up my mother's grave with his own eyes, but in fact, no one but himself could prove this sentence.

We went to Taigong's house according to the instructions of the village chief, first we were targeted by the rooster raised by the flesh of a dead man, and in the next moment we found this highly poisonous grave eel in my mother's coffin.

If it hadn't been for the second uncle's caution and warning me not to touch the coffin, I might have been bitten to death by the eel the moment I lifted the coffin board.

After analyzing this, the second uncle stopped, touched his nose with his hand and said,

"There must be something wrong with the village chief, even if he is not the mastermind of the Zhou family, at least he is an accomplice, he guided us here to cut off your way of life."

I didn't speak, and my chest was choked as if I was going to suffocate.

It seemed that overnight, everyone wanted to kill me, the third uncle and three aunts, my grandmother and my father, and now even the village chief began to calculate me.

What exactly did I do wrong?

"It's not you who is wrong, it's that your mother shouldn't have given birth to you in the Zhou family."

The second uncle sighed faintly and said, "The reason why I ran away from home at the beginning, in addition to quarreling with your grandmother, the biggest reason is that I saw that your mother is not simple, and sooner or later it will bring a big disaster to the Zhou family, but unfortunately no one wants to listen to me at all." ”

"Even you say so."

My face was full of bitterness, and I glared at my second uncle with sad and indignant eyes, "What is the origin of my mother, you say!" ”

"I don't know."

The second uncle's face was still so stiff, saying that he could only see that my mother was different from ordinary women, as for what was the difference, the second uncle didn't know, "The person was brought by your father-in-law, and the specific situation can only be asked to him, but ......"

Without further ado, I leaned against the doorpost, again not knowing what to say.

I asked the same question to my grandfather, but he refused to answer me.

Now that Taigong's whereabouts are unknown, I don't know where he went, who else can I ask to ask?

The second uncle provided me with an idea, "Perhaps, there is another person who also knows your mother's identity." ”

I couldn't wait, "Who?" ”

"The person who set up an evil array and harmed the entire Zhou family."

The second uncle said coldly, "If my expectations are correct, this person is so obsessed with your mother, in order to get something important from your mother, otherwise he has no reason to do so many things." ”

I looked confused.

My mother has been dead for three years, what can be in a dead person that deserves to be remembered like this?

The second uncle snorted, "That's not necessarily, for ordinary people, it's really worthless when people die in vain." ”

However, for those who practice the evil law, sometimes the role of the dead is greater than that of the living.

I didn't have any strength in my body, but I still gritted my teeth, stood up and said, "I understand, then let's go to the village chief's house, since you suspect that he may be in collusion with the mastermind, as long as you catch the village chief, you can find out something." ”

The second uncle looked surprised, glanced at me approvingly, pursed his lips and praised me for being smart, and actually knew how to draw inferences from one another.

I was speechless, only a wry smile remained.

In less than a week, four members of the family had died.

Even a child, after going through so many things, how much will he grow up, right?

Late at night, I sneaked back to Zhoujiagou with my second uncle.

There was not much difference between day and night here, and the whole village was haunted by an eerie dead air and thick fog, as if covered with a heavy quilt, and it was lifeless everywhere you went.

The only thing that gives me some comfort is the lights in the village chief's house.

There was a lamp in front of his house, and two lanterns made of oiled paper were hung, and the candles in the lanterns were burning quietly, and the flames swayed with the cold wind, giving off a bleak blue color.

When I arrived at the door of the village chief's house, I was going to go in directly, but I was held down by the second uncle on the shoulder.

"Zhou Xuan, don't be impulsive."

I don't understand why the second uncle is so cautious, there are only two of them left in the village chief's family, and his son and daughter-in-law are all working outside and don't come back all year round.

It stands to reason that these two old men are not a threat to the second uncle.

The second uncle shook his head, pointed to the two oil-paper lanterns hanging on the door, and said with a look of jealousy,

"The village chief's house has a guest, and it's not an ordinary guest, this person is proficient in magic and is very powerful."

I opened my mouth wide and said, "No, is it the ...... princess?"

"It's not too public."

The second uncle still shook his head, narrowed his eyes into a slit, stared at the two lanterns and said, "The person who can make this kind of lantern is not simple, it seems to be a trick of the Xuanyin Gate...... Do you see that lantern, is there any difference between it and a normal lantern? ”

I followed the example of my second uncle, turned my head to look at the two lanterns, and indeed noticed a little difference.

On the surface of the two lanterns, the facial features of human beings are drawn with a red pen, and from a distance, it seems to be attached to a human face.

The second uncle snorted coldly, "This is called a human skin lamp, which is made of the skin peeled off the body of a living person, and two human faces are painted, which means that there are two ghost slaves living in the lantern, and they are monitoring every move at the door." ”
