After finishing our work here, it was already late at night, and my little wife did not dare to stay for a long time!

Even though my daughter-in-law is only twenty years old, people in the village already regard her as a widow. Less than seven days after Zhang's death, she and I were alone late at night. If this matter was known to the villagers, it would be

It was a scolding that poked my spine.

Now she doesn't dare to live in Zhang's old house, so she can only live in Zhang Zhijun's house temporarily. In the next two days, poultry in the village died frequently. They were all bitten by snakes at night, and realgar powder was sprinkled everywhere in the village.

It is said that these poultry died in strange ways, and even the toads by the pond have stopped screaming in the past two days, but I did not go out to watch the fun. I just heard this from my little wife when she was delivering food.

Because the third thing Uncle Liu asked was to try not to leave the mountain temple, let alone contact the Zhang family.

Today is the seventh day for Zhang Lao and her son, and it is also the last meal she brings to me!

The younger daughter-in-law said excitedly: "Tonight I burned the first seven pieces of paper with my eldest brother. Even after finishing the posthumous affairs of the Zhang family and my son, my eldest brother promised to send me home early tomorrow morning."

This is really hard work! I said sincerely: "Congratulations! Once tonight is over, you will be free!"

"That's right!" The little daughter-in-law nodded with a smile. She had been waiting for this day for more than a year!

In fact, what matters after death is Qiqi, because after death, people will not enter reincarnation immediately. This period of time in Buddhism is collectively called the bardo period, which lasts about 49 days, so strictly speaking, matters after death must be completed until Qiqi.

That's the end.

Seeing that it is rare for her to be free, I will definitely not tell my little wife this.

But she was curious about what Tou Qi was: "Jiang Chen, is the Soul Resurrection Night scary?"

What? Are you scared? I've only heard of this kind of thing: "Tonight is just the last time the deceased comes to see his family. After watching it and feeling concerned, he will go to the underworld and hand over to the judge to convict him based on his good and evil deeds during his lifetime. The whole process is there

Don’t be afraid of the undercover escort!”

I'm not afraid! The little daughter-in-law thought to herself: "At any rate, Zhang Laoyao and I are married, even if his ghost comes back, he won't hurt me!"

That’s what I said! But I didn’t dare to scare her, because old people often say that if you don’t love corpses when you are alive, you won’t recognize relatives if you are a ghost!

Uncle Liu told me this sentence in detail: people have three souls. After death, the seven souls disperse first, and the soul returns to the three paths.

The heavenly soul returns to heaven, because the heavenly soul is the conscience during life. The human soul is also the soul of life. It will wander among the cemeteries, guarding the corpses of the surnames passed down from generation to generation, and receive incense and offerings to protect future generations. The earthly soul returns to the underworld and is detained.

The first seven are sent to hell, because the earthly soul is the evil sin of a person's life.

Therefore, the reason why the first seven soul nights are terrifying is because the ghosts who come back that night have no conscience and do not value family ties!

The little daughter-in-law put away the dishes and chopsticks thoughtfully, and hesitated before speaking: "Why don't you accompany me tonight? After all, I don't understand anything about these things. I'm afraid..."

The way she hesitated to speak, it was easy to see that she was lying just now when she said she wasn't afraid.

I comforted her: "Actually, the deceased will return home at night on the first seven days of the week. You only need to prepare a meal for the deceased before he comes back, burn the paper and then avoid it. The best way is to sleep. Even if you can't sleep, you should avoid it."

Get into bed. But on the night of the Soul Resurrection Night, there must be no quarrels at home, and no one like me can accompany you. Otherwise, the deceased will be more worried about you, and if you refuse to go to the underworld, you will offend the escort."

She blinked her eyes and looked at me, as if she had just understood. That's right, imagine that Zhang Laoyao came back home and saw my little wife and I together late at night. How could she go on the road with peace of mind?

Before leaving, I comforted her: "We'll be serving dinner at my old house tonight, won't Zhang Zhijun be with you?"

The younger daughter-in-law sighed and said that her eldest brother was gambling outside every day. Although he won a lot of money, his temper and behavior became increasingly weird during this period.

Watching her lonely figure leave, I felt quite uncomfortable.

It's not that I don't want to help her. I've seen people eat snake heads, burned coffin bracelets, dug coffins and buried corpses. In Uncle Liu's words, my flames were low during this period, so I was most likely to attract evil spirits.

Now when I carry my back, I secretly wear red underpants, bask in the sun frequently and avoid the moonlight at night. After dinner, I lie down on the crooked neck tree and fall asleep without realizing it, and I also have dreams...

In the dream, Uncle Liu opened his mouth and lectured: "Why don't you understand? Going out to see things is like a doctor making a diagnosis. Now that you have found the cause of the snake's evil spirit, why are you still hiding in the mountain temple?"

I was confused when I heard this: "It's obviously you who told me to stay out of the Zhang family's affairs."

"But now the snake evil has affected the village! You can't solve the problem of the snake swallowing the prime minister, and you can't put an end to the evil spirit, either?" Uncle Liu actually showed a rare righteousness.

He used to always tell me not to mind my own business, but now he actually explained it to me in my dream...

"Uncle Liu!" I screamed out of my dream. The moment I woke up from my dream, I almost fell off the crooked neck tree!

It was so dangerous, I calmed down and recalled the dream just now. Although Uncle Liu's tone was different from usual, the feeling in the dream was very real.

It's just dark now, and tonight the Zhang family is busy serving meals for the first seven days.

I dug Zhang Dayong's grave with the mentality of giving it a try.

The cause of the snake haunting was that the youngest Zhang took a piece of the coffin and made a bracelet out of greed to improve his fortune.

I quickly found the missing part and used the top thick branches of the Waibo ancient tree to repair the missing parts.

Uncle Liu said in detail in his dream that this ancient tree is called Jianglong Wood. It is extremely rare, and the wood will sink when exposed to water. This mountain temple tree was often struck by thunder and split into crooked necks. Although the age is unknown, it is at least several years old.

It has been used by believers for hundreds of years to pray for blessings, so it can suppress all evil spirits.

What's more, one thing brings down another, and this snake happens to be called an oolong.

After burning resin as glue, I repaired the coffin and attached the soul charm to the gap. The difficulty was that I could not lift the coffin by myself. I could only dig a big hole and use hoe after hoe to dig out the coffin.

The soil under the coffin caused the coffin to fall three feet and three feet into the soil.

Finally, the earth was bulldozed to fill the pit, and a large amount of glyphosate and realgar were sprinkled around the cemetery. The realgar repels snakes and insects, and the glyphosate removes snakeheads.

I don’t know if this is useful, but even if it is to prevent future evil spirits, what happened in the past is not something I can solve. Even if it is the nail in the coffin that remains in the back, it has now become a permanent feature. These are all mine.

An evil aspect that cannot be changed.

After finishing all this work, it was already past four o'clock in the night, and when I dragged my exhausted body back...

"Who's there?"

I was suddenly startled in the dark night, when the light of the flashlight shone through, and I saw a wet woman standing there at the entrance of the temple.

She originally had her back to me, but when she heard the sound, she slowly turned around...
