I was definitely too tired, having driven long distance for two days and two nights, I was dazzled by what I saw.
At around 9 o'clock in the evening, a new grave was found deep in the hunting goose forest.
There were valuable coins in the brazier that had not yet been burned. There was no wind in the forest, so the paper money burned very slowly.
Two "Fangzheng" came to the Snake King Temple. They had short hair and cloth monk robes. They looked like monks practicing with their hair on.
According to the usual custom, they had to "burn a snake drum" in front of the grave. The two founders didn't want me to watch the whole process, but the snake girl helped me speak.
I dare say that the Snake Drum is only found here in Zhanghu in the whole country. It is a double-sided drum made of paper, held up with a wooden stick, and an erect King Cobra is painted on the front.
After lighting the fire, the painted king cobra seemed to come to life due to the curling of the paper, struggling back and forth in the flames and twisting its body, accompanied by the local dialect spells spoken by the two founders, and this process continued.
For the past five minutes, the scene was a bit strange, and I watched without daring to speak.
"Two masters, thank you for your hard work regarding my mother's spiritual tablets." The snake girl bowed slightly.
One of the founders returned the courtesy and said, "You're welcome. This is what we should do. We started preparing as soon as we received your news. The finished spiritual tablets will be sent to the temple tomorrow to express our condolences."
The snake girl once again bent over to send him off.
After the monk left, I asked: "Will your mother's tablet be brought to the temple?"
She nodded: "Yes, Brother Xiang, it has always been like this. Even after my death, the spirit tablets will be placed in the temple."
She said that this place is to the west of Shunsheng Tianmu Temple. There is a small room that looks like a toilet. It is not open to tourists. The door is locked all year round. The outside of the wall is painted with red paint. The spiritual tablets of snake girls are displayed in this room.
, if you travel there now, you can look for a "well stone" with words engraved on it. If you see the well stone, you have found the right place. (Friendly reminder, don't be curious and look inside, you will be chased away by the temple people.)
While I was burning paper money in front of the grave, I suddenly received a text message on my mobile phone. It was sent to me by Miniang Razhen. I had put her in a hotel before coming.
"Can you come here? I don't know anyone around me. I don't dare to go to the toilet. There seems to be someone in the toilet. I'm scared."
I texted her back and told her: "I'll come over and see you later."
"Brother Xiang, are you leaving?"
"Yes, there are still a lot of things to do. Just wait for me here. When the boss and I are finished, I will come to find you and take you to a Miao village for medical treatment."
The snake girl suddenly stood up and hugged me tightly.
She raised her head, looked at me with tears in her eyes, and sobbed: "Brother Xiang, actually, I don't want to die, I want to live, and I'm very afraid of dying."
I patted her back gently and comforted her: "Don't worry, you won't die, I will help you."
She added: "Can you stay here tonight? Accompany me."
this.....
I thought to myself, this is not going to work, sister, the people over there are urging me to go there, I can't pay attention to both ends.
After thinking about it, I came up with a plan. Since I have a car, can't I just run back and forth?
Spend the first half of the night with Miniang Razhen, and come back with her in the second half of the night, so that neither end is delayed.
I went out to hunt wild geese in the forest and drove down the mountain.
There was a smell in the car, so I sprayed a lot of perfume and looked at the bags in the back.
The head gave me seven days, and now half of the time has passed. I plan to leave tomorrow, go to Dingwuling Village to bury the clay pot, and then hide the bag in an absolutely safe place and return to Kangding empty-handed.
When you get to the hotel, lock the car and go upstairs.
I tapped twice.
The door slowly opened a crack, and through the crack, Mi Niang Razhen looked out warily.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw me standing at the door.
I ducked into the room and asked, "Why are you so nervous?"
She said that two policemen, a man and a woman, had just arrived.
My heart skipped a beat and I asked what was going on?
She said it was a routine checkup.
I breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked haggard and suddenly said: "Do you believe there are ghosts in this world? I saw a ghost."
"What's going on? Tell me."
She held her head and said with a trembling voice: "I just finished washing my face and looked in the mirror and saw the old lady sitting on the sofa."
I glanced at the sofa and said, "Stop thinking. You are just too mentally stressed. I have been in a similar situation. As long as you don't take the initiative to think about it, you won't see anything."
She nodded and asked me again: "Actually, I don't know what you do? Can you tell me."
"Me? Haha, I'm in business."
"what kind of business?"
I didn't hide it, I said I was in the antique business.
