The eight big snakes were as thick as an adult's forearm and were all black. They were all hovering on the ground. After seeing the coffin being carried away, they all raised their heads and spread their heads to both sides, forming a fan shape. They also spit out snakes.
, as if sending a warning to the people around. This is a king cobra, which is highly venomous. If someone is bitten, there is a high probability that there will be eight people at a table.
The people at the scene had never seen such a formation before. Those who were close to it all stepped back, and those who didn't see it pushed forward to get a closer look.
"Oh, snake, king snake, that's a king snake." People at the scene exclaimed. Everyone grew up in the countryside, and it is quite normal to know the king cobra.
"One, two, three, five, eight! Eight, there are really eight. Oh, Li Yao didn't even see it. How did he know there were eight snakes underneath? God, it's so amazing."
"Isn't it? How else can I be Master Li's grandson?"
"..."
Seeing the crowd watching and listening to their discussions, the eight snakes fled around one after another, trying to leave. Seeing that scene, the people at the scene were so frightened that they even screamed exaggeratedly.
.??.??
But I sprinkled realgar powder on the edge of the coffin. As soon as they touched the realgar powder, they quickly shrank back and did not dare to get close to the realgar powder. Soon, the eight snakes returned to where they were just now, with their tails all wrapped around them.
In the middle, the head spits snake letters toward the eight outer corners.
Looking at the eight ferocious snakes, the village chief asked me, "Li Yao, what's going on? Why are there really eight snakes so big under this coffin?"
I looked at the big snake and said calmly, "This is called the eight dragons carrying the coffin. The coffin was carried back by these eight snakes. The reason why I asked eight people to carry the coffin just now was so that the eight immortals could take the place of the eight dragons."
"
"Eight dragons carrying the coffin?" The clan leader choked and looked at the eight big snakes. "Then, is this man-made? Or..."
I said uncertainly, "I don't know yet whether the other person is a human or a ghost, but if he can do these things, I guess this person must have yin and yang knowledge!"
The patriarch may not have understood what I was talking about. He was stunned for a moment and did not continue the topic. Instead, he changed the topic back and asked me, "What should I do with these eight snakes now?"
I thought for a while and said, "Catch them all, and then take them to the back mountain and release them. It's not easy to grow so big. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with them in the first place. They are just being used by others."
"
After listening to my words, the clan leader quickly nodded and said okay, and then asked people to start doing things.
Now that I was right about the snake on the bottom of the coffin, the villagers' suspicion of me has been dispelled a lot.
Many people quickly asked me, "Li Yao, Xiao Li, what happened in our village? Why have people been dying since the Chinese New Year, making everyone live in fear?"
"Yes, Xiao Li, what happened in this village? Are there a group of ghosts?"
I looked at the excited villagers and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I will make this clear to everyone later. I still said what I just said, I will try my best to ensure everyone's safety, but everyone has to listen to me.
.”
"Listen, listen, listen, I will definitely listen to you."
"So, aren't there a lot of snakes in the village? Let's go to the house and sprinkle realgar powder first, and then dig a hole in the center of the house. The hole is three feet deep. After digging the hole, sprinkle some realgar powder in, so that the house will be filled with snakes.
There won’t be any snakes coming for the time being.”
After listening to what I said, everyone nodded and said yes, but had no intention of leaving.
Then, someone asked me, "Mr. Li, the problem now is not that snakes can't come to the house. The main reason is that if there is a death in someone's house, they will hear something knocking on the door the night before."
"Yes, when my father died, there was a knock on the door at home, and my father died early the next morning."
"My mother was like this when she died. Now whenever I hear the sound of "dong dong dong", I will become nervous. If this continues, I will definitely have a nervous breakdown."
Everyone expressed the things that tortured them the most, and I understand their mood at this moment!
I continued to say calmly, "Go back and take care of this matter first. I will ask the clan leader to notify you later to collect the talisman for the town house."
After receiving these words, everyone went home one after another, leaving only the patriarch and his grandson, a few older people, and Mr. Li's entire family.
At this time, Mr. Li’s son asked me, “Li, Xiao Li, what should I do about my father? Does he need to be buried?”
I looked at the time, calculated the days, and then said, "If you want to be buried, let's do it today. You can be buried later from 3 to 5 pm!"
"Is that still the same place where it was buried yesterday?"
I hummed and said, "Just bury it in that place, it'll be fine."
After arranging everything, the patriarch took me into Mr. Li’s house and told me about the deaths that had occurred in the village since the Chinese New Year. At first, it was quite normal for elderly people to die in the village, and no one thought it was so.
It's strange, after all, death happens everywhere.
Then on the day he was first buried, a second person died, and he was still an old man. No one was surprised! Five people died like this, and everyone began to feel that something was wrong. Because every time someone died,
They were all on the night they returned from the burial.
So they buried people a few days later, but no matter which day they buried people, someone would die that night! So everyone found this pattern from the constant deaths, and began to extend the burial time.
Just like what Mr. Xie said, after the deceased person stayed at home for half a month, a second person died in their family. So everyone found this rule, and they had to stay at home for fifteen days as long as the person died.
Those who have money can do it themselves, and those who don’t have money, people in the village can help!
This matter has made everyone panic until now. They invited Mr. Yin and Yang to take a look, and some said it was okay, some left without saying anything after watching, and some simply defrauded some money.
I fooled around for a while, took the money and left.
The patriarch had nothing to do about this matter. Apart from saying a few words about my grandfather, he could only watch all this happen.
The people in the village couldn't bear it and called the police, but the police couldn't care about this kind of thing at all. After some investigation, they didn't find that the dead people were killed or poisoned, so they just ignored it.
Now, people in the village have no choice but to follow the old tradition of hanging red lanterns at home to ward off evil spirits.
However, this effect is obviously useless, what should happen must happen.
After listening to the village chief's story, I pondered for a while and asked, "During the Chinese New Year period, what happened in the village? Or did anyone come here?"
"If you look at what happened in a big way, consider what was built, and how some survey teams, construction teams came, etc. If you look at it in a small way, consider which house had something strange happen to it when someone died last year, or whose house had an affair with someone from outside.
There was a dispute or something like that.”
"For those who have been here, the impression is more profound! Or it is more vague."
