Chapter 3: Evil ghost stealing relatives 1
Xiao Yu brought a table, then spread a yellow cloth, then took out a gossip mirror, a peach wood sword, and then there was something in the cinnabar, which filled the table, and finally it looked like Ergou was going to bring some fruits and put them on the plate! Of course, the most important thing here is a plate of steamed buns.
The sky is getting darker and darker. There is no sun at all today. The sky is gloomy. The biting cold wind blows the branches around the village, making a rustling sound. Adding to the crows on the trees, the Bailong Village is covered with a strange atmosphere.
When it was dark, those who played suona and sang filial piety songs came one after another. Those who sang filial piety songs were middle-aged men. They were indispensable for anyone who had funerals. Although singing filial piety songs was of no use for death, it had a good refreshing effect for the living.
After a person dies, he has the habit of sitting in filial piety in China. That is to say, the last few days of living people accompanying the dead, so they are all night long, but the physical strength is limited. If you are mentally exhausted and sleepy in this sad atmosphere, the profession of singing filial piety gradually appears.
At night, the elderly and middle-aged people from the village and other villages all came here. There were many basins of charcoal fires in the house, which dispelled a lot of cold air in the house! Then the relatives of the deceased began to fall on the edge of the coffin and began to cry loudly. The people came to burn incense to the deceased. Ergou's children knelt wherever they were, holding filial cloth, and kowtowed to thank them.
As more and more relatives arrived, heart-wrenching crying came from the entire village, and sad anger spread throughout the village, especially some elderly people. Seeing this scene, it seemed as if they had seen the day after their death, they began to cry.
Xiao Yu and his master sat cross-legged on the edge of the coffin. Xiao Yu whispered the rebirth mantra, while his master drew some talismans and stuck them on the coffin! However, those talismans were just ordinary talismans, and they had no effect. At most they were just fooling people! In the words of Grandpa Xiao Yu, drawing useful talismans requires a lot of materials. Those things are too expensive, and not many corpses will turn into evil spirits, so don't waste money.
After sticking the talisman around the coffin, Grandpa Xiao Yu wore a Taoist robe, lit an oil lamp, and slowly placed it under the coffin. Then he ordered a bowl of noodles from the kitchen, stood in front of the coffin, muttered a few words to the coffin, and then placed the noodles in front of the coffin.
After doing all this, the prelude of the ritual was basically completed. Then Grandpa Xiao Yu also sat next to Xiao Yu, his eyes closed, and they never opened their eyes without opening them even if they cried in the room.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, after the thank-you meal, fewer people came, and the young men in the village gathered together to play cards, and some elderly people were chatting around the brazier! At this time, the filial piety people set up gongs, drums, speakers, etc., and began to sing each sentence! When Xiao Yu heard the sound of filial piety, he felt relieved because he knew that he could finally get up and move.
"Grandpa, I'm so sleepy. Can I go back and sleep?" Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.
"Go, this young man is so evil that he will be out of his mind tomorrow. You come here early! Remember, don't run around when you go out. Be careful to bring the jade tokens that grandpa gave you," Grandpa Xiao Yu instructed.
"Well, I understand. Grandpa, why don't you and me join me and ask God to invite you to the sky before dawn, it's still early."
"No, I have to be here. I have seen the time. The time when the corpse died was a bit strange. As long as I survived tonight, something might not happen."
"Oh" Xiao Yu agreed, then rubbed his stiff legs, and grilled around the brazier for a while before he was about to go home. It was already twelve o'clock in the evening. If it were an ordinary child, Meng would probably have done a few! But Xiao Yu had been in the nightclub with his grandfather since he could walk, and he was in the village, so this path was not difficult for him.
When he walked out of Ergou's house, a cold wind suddenly came outside, which made Xiao Yu tremble, but immediately wrapped his cotton jacket tightly, and then rushed to the house in the cold wind! However, after Xiao Yu walked for hundreds of meters, he suddenly saw a man riding a white horse standing there. Behind the man, there were seven or eight soldiers carrying a sedan chair, as if he was preparing to marry.
"Whose family is from this? Are you sick when you get married so late?" Xiao Yu murmured in his heart and walked forward two steps. Unexpectedly, his heart skipped a beat, his face suddenly turned pale, and he immediately took a few steps back.
"Is this a ghost soldier? Is the ghost soldier going to marry?" Xiao Yu said with a trembling voice.
Xiao Yu could see ghosts, and those ghosts could naturally see Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu tried to calm down, took a deep breath, and deliberately walked forward two steps. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned his head and walked towards the way he came.
"You can't panic, grandpa said, you must not run when you see ghosts. The Yang fire will weaken when you run." Xiao Yu comforted himself while speeding up his pace. At the same time, he kept chanting the Liu Ding body protection mantra "Ren Gao protects me, Ding Chou protects me, Renhe saves me, Ding You protects me, Ren Can manages souls, Ding Si nourishes the spirit..."
Seeing Ergou's house getting closer, Xiao Yu felt relieved. At the same time, he deliberately squatted down and made a pose of tying his shoelaces. From his crotch, the ghosts were still coming here, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
"Oh no, could they be the one who picked up Aunt Liu?" Xiao Yu said in his heart.
"Aunt Liu just died. He should have gone to the underworld after the night of resurrection. Could it be that these ghosts are here to steal the bride? He wants to take the soul away directly before Aunt Liu doesn't go to the underworld?"
"No, grandpa said, after a person died, would he be protected by the Land Lord? How could they be? Could it be that the Land Lord was bribed?" Thinking in his heart, Xiao Yu finally stepped into Ergou's house. At this time, Xiao Yu saw that his grandpa was actually drawing talismans, and it was a black dog blood talisman, which was only used when dealing with evil ghosts.
"Grandpa, I..." Xiao Yu was about to speak, but his grandfather glared at him. He swallowed back what he was about to say, but he tiptoed forward and said what he had just seen.
"Well, it's true that it's a ghost who robs the kin. Since it can appear at this time, I'm afraid that this ghost has a great origin, and even the Land Lord dare not offend him." Grandpa Xiao Yu frowned.
"Grandpa, what should I do now? That ghost seems to be very powerful. Can you deal with him?" Xiao Yu asked in a low voice.
"Well, go and bring the paper man and find Ergou." Grandpa Xiao Yu reminded him a few times, then got up, picked up the gossip mirror on the table, and placed it directly at the door of the main door.
When the villagers in the house saw Xiao Yu bringing the paper man next to the coffin to his grandfather, they were curious and immediately surrounded him to watch the fun! However, the people who came were all old people, and most of the young people went home to sleep.
