Chapter 3 There is someone in the coffin

After several seconds, the whole scene fell into a deathly silence, and you could hear a needle drop. The silver moonlight shone on the coffin, reflecting an unusually bright light, making it particularly dazzling.

Suddenly, I heard a creepy sound coming from inside the coffin, "pah pah pah", like someone was knocking on the coffin.

In an instant, I felt a chill rising from the soles of my feet and rising to my heart. My hands and feet became weak, my mind went blank, and I just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

That voice seemed to read through my thoughts. The compact 'pah pah pah' sound became faster and faster, and it tightened my heartstrings every time. I raised my eyes and looked around the coffin, and saw the Eight Immortals and the Master kneeling on the ground.

There was no one else around the coffin at all, but I heard the "squeaking" sound very clearly. It was definitely coming from the coffin.

My heart thumped. It was over. I must have encountered a ghost. I began to feel fear from the bottom of my heart. My palms were all sweaty.

Lao Wang grabbed my clothes, pulled hard, and made me kneel on the ground, "Jiu Yazi, what the hell are you doing? Kneel down and kowtow!"

My voice was trembling and I told him intermittently, "Old...Old...Old Wang, someone...knocked on the coffin."

It was okay not to speak, but as soon as I opened my mouth, a cold breeze rushed into my mouth, making me shiver.

Lao Wang listened to my words and did not dare to be negligent. He turned his ear towards the coffin and listened. His face suddenly changed. He pulled me up and said, "No, there is a living person in the coffin. Open the coffin quickly to save him."

"

"No? How could a living person be in the coffin?" I asked doubtfully.

Lao Wang glanced at the coffin, ignored me, and shouted to the Eight Immortals: "Everyone, stop kneeling, it's important to open the museum quickly to save people!"

His words made the Eight Immortals burst into laughter, but I didn't care. After all, they were all my seniors, so I suppressed the doubts in my heart.

Lao Wang's face darkened and he cursed: "Look at how cowardly you are. They are just bigger ants. They are so scary. Kill them quickly!"

Logically speaking, since there is one less person in the coffin, the weight should be lighter. However, the fact is exactly the opposite. We do not feel lighter, but feel that the coffin is heavier than before.

He smiled and said: "It must be a bit awkward to carry the coffin for the first time. You will get used to it later. Don't be so scared that you pee your pants!"

Hearing this voice, my tense heartstrings finally relaxed, and I asked the question just now. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Jiuyaozi, you still have a lot to learn."

, this situation is called suspended animation. After you become the Eight Immortals, you must pay attention to this situation, otherwise burying a living person will be the sin of us Eight Immortals."

After saying that, Lao Wang clasped his hands and made three bows to the east, and then ordered us to pull off the towels on our arms. The moment we pulled off the towels, strictly speaking, it was the moment I pulled off the towels.

, something weird happened.

The Eight Immortals stood tremblingly behind Lao Wang, not daring to come forward. Lao Wang was so angry that his teeth were crooked. They pointed at the Eight Immortals and cursed, "If you delay the auspicious moment, let's see if the deceased will give you trouble!"

These ants were indescribably weird. They were about the size of a thumb, green in color, and glowing with pale blue fluorescence. They were like fireflies at night. When they saw us, they pounced ferociously towards us, scaring us so much that we screamed and dropped our hands.

He ran away immediately after catching the handkerchief. In just a few seconds, he ran behind Lao Wang. In our hearts, Lao Wang is the backbone.

As soon as these words came out, the Eight Immortals looked at me and I looked at you. If the deceased really came to cause trouble, this would not be a joke. They picked up the hoe left by digging the tomb from the ground and walked towards the tomb.

I took the cigarette, sat down next to Lao Wang, and said, "Lao Wang, I feel a little confused for no reason, what's going on!"

After resting for a while, the old dynasty sprinkled some yellow paper, tea, grain (unpolished rice), salt and wheat into the tomb of the old dynasty. He also said a few strange words, the content of which was as follows, "Aozi Village, Dongxing Town, Wangmen

Mrs. Liu is buried here, I beg all ghosts and gods to take care of her!"

We all carried the coffin in silence along the way. No one expressed their doubts. We just wanted to bury the coffin as soon as possible.

Because the couple died unjustly, many rituals were ignored. They were brought to our village on the day of death, and the bodies were just parked for one night before being buried. Fortunately, Lao Wang was experienced, otherwise the man would really have died.

Buried alive.

The so-called "taking people's money to work for others" refers to us Eight Immortals. After accepting the money, a few of us sent the old man and the 'resurrected' man back to the village, and asked the little boy to follow us to the funeral. After all, the woman in the coffin was

It is customary for the little boy's mother to let him be buried.

I only heard the little boy pointing at the tomb and screaming, "Mom, there's a monster!" I looked along where the little boy pointed, and I saw that there was a scary little hole in the tomb at some point.

Countless ants emerged from inside.

Lao Wang found a few torches to light and stuck them around the tomb to make the originally dark environment a little brighter. He took out his mobile phone and looked at the time and said: "There is still half an hour before the burial. Let's take a rest."

, have a cigarette!" As he said that, he gave each of us a cigarette.

When the Eight Immortals heard this, they immediately stood up, patted the dust on their bodies, and surrounded the coffin. They pried open a hole in the coffin lid with their hands and feet. First, a white hand stretched out, dejectedly and helplessly.

The ground was struggling in the air, with some sawdust still left on its fingernails. Then, a weak cry for help came out, "Help me!"

With this episode, the happiest thing was the old man. When he saw his son come back to life, he gave us eight immortals an additional two hundred yuan each, which was regarded as life-saving money. At first, Lao Wang refused to take it life and death, but later he was so kind that he couldn't bear it.

However, he took it away.

I asked some more about Lao Wang, and he told me that there are many complicated rituals after death, including small coffin, mourning, encoffining, coffin, mourning, wake, big coffin, breaking the evil spirits, clearing the way, and carrying out the funeral.

, burial, Hui Ling, Maihuo, An Ling, round grave, the first seven.

A few of us were busy again, covering the coffin lid again, burning some candles and ingots in front of the coffin, then tying the dragon frame, and carried the coffin straight to the tomb.

When I arrived at the cemetery, the moon had turned west, and the sky was gradually getting darker. A few crows were hovering in the sky, making a sad cry, which was particularly harsh. An inexplicable sense of depression came over me, and the coffin fell to the ground.

At that moment, this feeling of depression became even stronger, making me somewhat breathless.

I froze in place for a while, thinking that it was neither good nor bad. I finally gritted my teeth, picked up a hoe, and walked over in the footsteps of the Eight Immortals. I did not make any move, and just smashed those weird ants.

In the past, I only heard constant banging noises and sparks flying.

Those ants seemed to be made of iron. When I smacked them with a hoe, there was a clanging sound. Instead of being swatted to death, they were swatted into the soil. I didn’t care about so many of them. I caught those ants and tried my best to swat them. There were a few brave ones.

The Eight Immortals even took torches and swept towards the ant caves.

Although the ants were ferocious, fortunately, we Eight Immortals were more united. After a brave fight, the strange ants finally couldn't resist and fled in all directions.

"Jiuyaozi, come here and see what this is!" As soon as I put down the hoe, I heard Lao Wang's voice.
