"Hey, Grandma's Temple, that place...I heard from the older generation that it's quite evil..." the second brother said hesitantly.
"Whatever, you haven't seen it, and I haven't seen it either. These are people from the village. It doesn't matter if we go and take a look now. We're not afraid of seeing ghosts in broad daylight." The eldest brother said.
The second brother looked at his father who was lying on the bed dying. He didn't want his father to be buried without a coffin, so he looked at the eldest brother and nodded.
After the two said hello to their wives, they came to the vicinity of Lao Lao Temple together. The two brothers felt that it was extremely quiet here. It was obviously summer, but they could not hear the chirping of insects at all.
Not even a bird was seen.
However, the vegetation around Laolao Temple is indeed extremely lush. The amount of vegetation seems a bit excessive. Those ivy climbers covered the entire wall of Laolao Temple.
If you don't pay attention, no one will notice that there is any Lao Lao Lao Temple here.
The two brothers looked at each other and thought there was something strange here, but they each held a wooden stick in their hands and didn't think it was anything.
The two of them stepped on the weeds and walked towards the gate of the courtyard of Lao Lao's temple little by little.
When the two pairs of eyes looked inside, they were trembling with fright, because at this time, there were eight identical coffins placed in the courtyard of Lao Lao Lao Temple.
The coffin lids of these eight coffins were about four-fifths closed, leaving the heads uncovered.
There were four coffins in a row, arranged in two rows, with the small ends of the coffins facing the two brothers.
The second brother swallowed his saliva and wanted to back off. At this time, the eldest brother took two steps forward and shouted inside:
"Is anyone there? Let's buy a coffin!"
No one responded in the grandma's temple, it seemed like there was no one.
The eldest brother continued walking inside, seemingly not afraid at all. Seeing this, the second brother quickly took his hand and said:
"Brother, forget it, it's very ghostly here..."
"It's okay. It's broad daylight. Where did that thing come from? We have guys on our hands. As long as we are fierce enough, that thing will have to take a detour when it sees us." The eldest brother said.
In fact, the eldest brother is also a little scared in his heart, but now that he is the head of the family and the eldest brother in the family, he has to take on more things.
He pretended to be calm and walked at the front, with his second brother following closely behind.
The two brothers looked around and saw that these coffins were unpainted and looked a bit rough. All eight coffins were empty with nothing inside.
Moreover, some of the coffin boards were covered with moss and could not be used at all. At this time, the eldest brother saw a statue of a god placed in the room directly opposite the courtyard gate. The statue's head was covered with a white cloth.
I can't see the face of the statue clearly. The statue is only one foot long and looks a bit rough overall.
"Brother, what kind of god is that over there? Why is it covered with white cloth? Shouldn't it be red cloth?" The second brother stammered, pointing to the statue inside.
"Don't point randomly, maybe it's some kind of custom in this grandma's temple." The eldest brother pointed.
The eldest brother hurried to the door of the statue, clasped his hands and bowed, as if he was repenting for his brother's unreasonable behavior just now.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the yard, causing the surrounding branches to sway crazily.
The second brother was so frightened that he squatted on the ground, muttering: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, please forgive me!"
At this time, there was a creaking sound from the door of the house to the right of the courtyard gate. The second brother looked in that direction and couldn't help but change his face.
"Brother, look here, there are many, many coffins inside!"
Brother, look at the room on the right. There are indeed many coffins placed inside the door.
After the door of the room was fully opened, the "demon wind" stopped abruptly.
The eldest brother narrowed his eyes and walked slowly towards the house over there. There was a painting hanging on the wall opposite the door. He could not see clearly the appearance of the man in the painting. He only saw that he was wearing a tall black spiked hat.
hat, wearing black clothes,
Only the nose and slightly grinning mouth were visible, looking a bit like Gui Ying. There was a white cloth on the table under the painting, with calligraphy written on it:
"The coffin is given to the destined person."
The elder brother looked at the coffins on both sides again. There were still eight coffins as there were outside, but these eight coffins had been polished and looked very delicate.
The elder brother looked at the eight coffins. There were four coffins with red paint, two coffins with original colors, one gold coffin and one black coffin.
The eldest brother thanked him again and then motioned to his younger brother to move the mahogany coffin over there. The second brother also asked with some confusion:
"Brother, why don't you choose the coffin with the golden coffin?"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up." The eldest brother urged, and then the two brothers carried the red coffin out of Grandma's temple. The moment they stepped out of Grandma's temple,
The door of the room where the coffin was placed suddenly closed strangely...
The two brothers carried the coffin back home. The older people in the village asked how much the coffin cost. The two brothers said that it was taken out of their grandma's temple and it was free of charge.
Several old people couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, thinking that the family was finished.
But what surprised these elderly people was that after the family held the funeral for their old father, everything went smoothly without any accidents.
The crops in the fields grew very quickly, and soon he became the first person in the village to harvest crops.
The older generation in the village also talked a lot after seeing it, thinking that it was probably the coffin in Grandma's temple that played a role.
Later, an old man who was over sixty years old asked the elder brother, and the elder brother told the old man what happened in his grandma's temple. After listening, the old man thanked him repeatedly.
The old man recounted what his eldest brother had told the "old people" in the village. After hearing this, everyone had different expressions. Some people still thought that place was inaccessible.
Some people didn't take it seriously. Later, these old people went home and gossiped to their children. Most of them thought that place was too evil to go to, but some people thought that using the coffins there could improve their family's wealth.
The old man in his 60s died within half a month. Before he died, he told his children to use the coffin from his grandma’s temple, so his children chose to go to their grandma’s temple during the day.
Later, after the old man was buried, the family's fortune was the same as that of the eldest brother's family. His children successfully entered the production team, and their eldest son also became an official in the production team.
It didn't take long for this matter to spread in the village. Later, people rushed to Lao Lao's temple one after another and emptied all the coffins in the house.
However, the fortunes of three families were not as good as those of the previous ones. After the family who carried the golden coffin buried the elderly in the family, they thought that the golden coffin would make money. Unexpectedly, the family became increasingly poor.
Finally, a strong wind blew away most of the tiles on the roof of the house, but everyone else in the village was safe.
As for the people who carried away the black coffin, during the funeral process for the elderly at home, during those days, the corpse would open its eyes every early morning.
Before the burial, those who carried the coffin fell down every few steps, and the body in the coffin fell out. With its eyes open, it looked very evil.
However, after the burial, nothing strange happened at home, it was just as usual.
As for the family who took away the log coffin, nothing happened, except that they would have the same nightmares at home from time to time.
At this time, the village chief was also ninety years old. Without telling his family, he came to Lao Lao Temple alone. He pushed open the gate of Lao Lao Temple courtyard and saw eight coffins placed at the door.
When he shifted his gaze to the statue in his grandma's temple, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and frown. He stood at the door of his grandma's temple for a long time, and then came to the room on the right.
At this time, the room was empty except for the painting and the cloth strips on the table.
He walked forward and picked up the cloth. He held the cloth in his hand and looked at it in the sun. After looking at it for a long time, his frown relaxed, and then he nodded and said with a grin: "
