After Gao Bo's legs slowly straightened, my master Zou Yang and I closed the coffin board and re-screwed the long coffin-sealing nails. Before Gao Bo entered the coffin, we put Gao Bo's coffin on the coffin.
The box in Bo's hand was taken off. This thing must be the clue to Gao Bo's mysterious death. Ask Gao Bo's wife if she knows what this thing is.
This box has a lot of resentment. It was buried in a cesspit and covered up with the bad luck of the cesspit. In fact, if it weren't for this, the cesspool alone would not be able to block the entrance to this coffin evil place. There is no use saying all this. The most urgent thing is to take a look at this
What's in the box.
The master does not recommend that we open this box now, because although the time of birth has passed, the yin energy is still relatively strong, and with the coffin evil here, it is really unwise to open the box at this time.
It was getting late, and we were tired from the journey, so we asked Chu Heng to find a place for us to have a little rest. As for the matter, there was no point in worrying about it now, we would discuss it tomorrow.
It was slightly bright the next day, and I was woken up by a burst of cockcrow. After I woke up, I remembered the tragic situation when Gao Bo died, and couldn't sleep no matter what. After putting on my clothes, I came to the yard and found that the master had already put on his clothes.
Neatly, three sticks of incense were respectfully placed on the coffin, but Chu Heng was not seen.
As for Gao Bo's wife, yesterday the master drew a few soul-fixing charms for her. Now she just woke up, but the sadness between her eyebrows is strong. When the master saw me, she came out and said: "There are many things to do today.
, be energetic and study hard. Although you will not make a living as a Taoist priest in the future, you still need to know the rules of funerals."
After hearing what the master said, I immediately woke up and nodded to the master.
Not long after, Chu Heng came back from the door with a group of people. It could be vaguely seen that these people were from the family who came yesterday, and the drummers did not come.
Chu Heng said to the master: "Master, I have brought the person, how are we going to carry out the funeral?" The master said: "There is no need for ostentation in the funeral this time, as long as Gao Bo can be buried, I will pick a few people with strong fortunes to carry the coffin.
, the rest just follow the coffin, keep everything simple, it’s best to start now, the fewer people you meet, the better.”
Although he didn't know why the master gave such an order, Chu Heng wisely didn't ask or mention what happened yesterday. He just said to the people behind him: "Everyone, thank you for your work." Originally, these people didn't want to do this job at the beginning of the year.
, but the price given by Chu Heng was really high, so these people had no choice but to agree to attend the funeral ceremony.
The master looked at the eight or nine strong laborers and picked four out of the crowd. The master took the ashes from the pot and touched the foreheads of the four people. Gao Bo died tragically. Not only was the ghost very resentful, but the corpse was also very resentful. He touched the pot.
Hui didn't want Gao Bo or other ghosts to come and deal with the four coffin bearers.
After that, the master took out a handful of paper money, holding the soul-calming bell in his hand, and said to the people in the yard: "We are almost ready. Without further ado, let's get started. Remember that no one is allowed to talk to others along the way.
If you hear someone calling your name on the road, don't turn around and answer the call. The coffin is not allowed to fall to the ground before being buried."
Then the yard became a little lively. People were looking for sticks, and people were tying ropes. Those who were sleeping were all disturbed. Gao Bo's wife has not recovered yet, and she looks at the coffin with frightened eyes from time to time.
, the body was shivering.
Not long after, everything was ready, and the master said to Gao Bo's wife, who was wearing mourning clothes: "It's your man in the coffin, he won't harm you, don't be afraid, just send him on his last journey." After hearing this, Gao Bo's wife
Seemingly gaining some courage, she led Gao Yu, who was also wearing mourning clothes, to the coffin. She held Gao Bo's remains in her hands.
Then the funeral procession began to leave. It was really a shabby funeral. There were no drummers or many mourners. There were only less than ten people in a deserted state, walking hurriedly through the street.
Fortunately, we got up early and there were no passers-by on the street. The master waved the soul-calming bell in his hand and shouted: "We are going on a funeral procession. Passers-by should give way." He was walking at the front with paper money in his hand. When walking in the village,
Nothing strange happened. A group of us hurried out of the village, and then those messy things happened.
First, the four strong men carrying the coffin began to twist around the eighteen bends on the mountain road. They looked like they were about to tip over accidentally. With my left eye, I saw several ghosts and ghosts pulling on their clothes beside these strong men.
Not wanting these strong men carrying the coffin to walk, the master was at the front, throwing away the paper money in his hand and chanting: "Pay the money to buy the road, and no ghosts will bother you."
Those lonely ghosts got the paper money dropped by the master and left happily. However, these were just small characters. The resentment on Gao Bo's corpse was extremely suitable for some advanced ghosts to carry out the business of resurrecting corpses, so this
During this funeral, what we encountered was not Gao Bo's own wronged soul, but those wild ghosts outside the wilderness.
This kind of wild ghost has been wandering around the world for an extremely long time, and its ferocity has not diminished. Whether it is a ghost king or a spirit that has become a spirit, no one is easy to deal with.
After those lonely ghosts begging for money were beaten away, we experienced a brief period of calm. However, before we could take a breath, I suddenly saw a man in red with a green face and fangs on the coffin.
As soon as this little devil appeared, a whirlwind arose in the plains, picking up the dead leaves on the ground and rushing towards the funeral procession.
In this case, the ghost can only be driven away, not killed. The soul-suppressing bell in the master's hand was shaking rapidly, and he was mumbling words. But at this time, the master could not turn around and could only let the little devil in red on the coffin play tricks. Zou Yang and I stood there
Together, when they saw this thing, the totem on their faces appeared, and they rushed towards the little ghost on the coffin. The little ghost was very aware and ran away in a hurry.
It can be said that our funeral procession went through many hardships and obstacles. During this period, we encountered several extremely high-level ghosts. The last one forced me to use the Extreme Yang Talisman before frightening it away. Finally, we arrived in front of Gao Bo's tomb.
, the master sprinkled a few handfuls of millet and pot ashes into Gao Bo's tomb, and then let people drop it into the tomb. After that, the master took out a few yellow talismans and pasted them crosswise on Gao Bo's coffin.
, finally the master recited a long incantation of salvation, until later, the master finally ordered to cover the stone sealing board of the tomb, and then buried it with sealing earth.
In this way, Gao Bo was finally buried with difficulty. I asked the master why he didn't cremate Gao Bo. The master said that revitalization requires Gao Bo's body to be sent to the crematorium. Can this kind of corpse be reanimated?
The thing is, once you enter the crematorium, those fierce ghosts in the crematorium will definitely come to Gao Bo, but things will definitely be more difficult to deal with. Now that Gao Bo has been buried in the earth, all earthly connections will return to earth, no matter how powerful the ghosts are.
It cannot be pulled out of the soil, unless of course the corpse is dug up and possessed by an evil spirit.
As time goes by, the resentment on Gao Bo's corpse will slowly disappear, because the corpse does not have a mind like a ghost and cannot cultivate on its own. After it is put into the ground, it will be fine.
After Gao Bo was buried, a group of us were walking on the road. The master gave each of the coffin bearers a yellow talisman and told them to go back and drink some ginger soup to ward off the cold and strengthen yang. After returning home, the master took out the wooden box
He said to Gao Bo’s wife: “Do you know where this thing came from?”
Gao Bo's wife looked at the box, shook her head and said, "I don't know, I've never seen it before." The master sighed and said, "Gao Bo's death is probably related to this thing. I'm asking for your opinion now, can I
Can't you open this thing?" Gao Bo's wife knew that it was all thanks to the master to bury Gao Bo this time, how could she not agree, and she nodded in agreement.
The master opened the box at twelve o'clock at noon, but even at that time, it was still chilly behind all of us. Inside the box was a piece of something about ten centimeters long and about two fingers wide. This thing was gray and white in color.
It looks quite hard, I don't know what it is.
Chu Heng looked at it for a while and whispered: "Does this look like a tongue?" After Chu Heng said this, we realized that besides the different colors, this thing really looked like a tongue.
!It’s just a tongue that is about to become a fossil. This tongue looks like it is many years old.
When Gao Bo's wife heard that it was tongue, she quickly took a few steps back, but when she stepped back, she saw the lines on the wooden box, and she exclaimed in surprise: "This is it!" We looked at her and didn't know.
What is she saying.
Gao Bo's wife pointed to the pattern on the box and said: "I have seen this symbol before. I followed Gao Bo back to his hometown and saw this symbol." After Gao Bo's wife pointed it out, I also saw the pattern on this wooden box.
Above it, there is indeed a strange symbol that resembles words. This symbol is very similar to the 'li' character in Xiaozhuan. However, this symbol is not complete and seems to be missing something.
Regardless of what this thing that looks like a tongue is, now it seems that we have found some clues. Gao Bo's hometown has this symbol, indicating what relationship this wooden box has with Gao Bo's hometown.
After questioning, Gao Bo's wife said that the Gao Bo family seemed to be a family of opera singers. Not only did they sing operas, but the Gao Bo family had many talents. According to Gao Bo, his ancestors were very popular in the Qing Dynasty for performing ventriloquism puppets.
When I heard this, I thought, could this ventriloquist puppet be the puppet we saw disappearing that day? Of course, this is just a guess. No one knows what happened. Gao Bo doesn't know why.
, I had a dispute with my family, so I moved out from my hometown and came here.
In this case, there must be clues about Gao Bo's death in Gao Bo's hometown. Besides, after Gao Bo's death, he must at least report to the people in his hometown, so we decided that Chu Heng would take the rest of us to Gao Bo's hometown.
