After seeing Uncle Xiao off, Xiao Qiang looked at Xiao Yu as if looking at a monster and said, "Fifty yuan. I thought you wanted five thousand. It seems like you haven't gotten into money yet."
Xiao Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Who doesn't like money? It depends on who you are. Besides, the village chief grandpa is not an outsider."
At night, Xiao Yu took out his grandfather's Taoist robe again and asked his mother to sew it up for use tomorrow! In the years since he came to Shimo Village, Xiao Yu has not worn a Taoist robe, so he wants to try it tomorrow night.
Xiao Yu is now about 1.3 meters tall, and this robe belongs to his grandfather, so it is inevitable that it will be bigger.
"What, you're still wearing this?" Xiao Qiang asked curiously when Xiao Yu took out his Taoist robe.
"Well, ghosts will come back to visit relatives tomorrow. It's okay if they are ordinary souls. But if you meet a lonely ghost, you still have to dress more formally, so as to be more popular."
"Pull the wind, pull the wind, you're a little big, wear such a big robe, it's like singing in an opera, and still pull the wind, don't let the wind not be pulled up by the time, but instead wrap yourself in it."
Xiao Qiang finally said it, but he still got up and came to the table. He opened the Taoist robe out of curiosity, looked up and down, and then said, "Ask your mother to cut off the lower part. It's a bit too long. And
It’s a hole, if you wear it out, people will think that we are mistreating you and not buying you clothes.”
"There's nothing I can do about it. We don't have robes now. I can't wear short sleeves. It's so ugly. Maybe grandpa will come back tomorrow night. If he sees it, he won't scold me to death."
Although Xiao Yu said this, he really hoped that his grandfather could come back. But Xiao Yu knew that this was probably impossible, because his grandfather said that Taoist priests are different from ordinary people after death. If Taoist priests are spirits, they will be dead.
Will go to the spiritual world, if not, he will be reincarnated immediately and continue to practice hard.
However, the spiritual world is just a thought of cultivators. No one really knows whether it really exists! But Xiao Yu believes that this spiritual world should exist, otherwise it is impossible for those birds and beasts to go where they went after they achieved cultivation.
He has always stayed in the mortal world.
"Really? You said your grandpa will come back?" Xiao Qiang hurriedly pulled Xiao Yu and said.
After Xiao Yu came to Shimo Village, he learned from his mother that Xiao Qiang used to live with Grandpa Xiao Yu, but the father and son often quarreled, and Grandpa Xiao Yu was a wanderer, so the two
Due to disagreements and no choice, Grandpa Xiao Yu settled down outside and stayed there for five or six years. It wasn't until something happened to Xiao Yu's father that the father and son got in touch.
After Grandpa Xiao Yu's death, Xiao Qiang has always felt guilty, thinking that he had not fulfilled his filial piety in front of Grandpa Xiao Yu, so when Xiao Yu said that his grandfather was back, he immediately asked nervously.
Xiao Yu knew why Xiao Qiang was nervous, and immediately said, "Dad, I'm kidding, grandpa won't come back. He has a moral code and the Palace of Hell doesn't want him, so he should be reincarnated now."
After hearing Xiao Yu's explanation, Xiao Qiang's eyes flashed with disappointment, and then he said, "Whether he comes back or not, just burn some paper money for him tomorrow."
This time Xiao Yu didn't speak. He just watched his mother mending the Taoist robe, but sighed in his heart, "Even if grandpa comes back, he probably won't be able to remember the way home."
After Xiao Yu's mother sewed the Taoist robe, Xiao Yu couldn't wait to put it on and try it on. Sure enough, the modified Taoist robe fit much better than the original one. Now Xiao Yu only lacks a peach wood sword and a yellow cloth bag. Look at it this way
He looks more like a Taoist priest.
That night, Xiao Yu slept soundly. He got up early in the morning, practiced swordsmanship in the yard, and ate some hastily. He wanted to wait for Cai Die to arrive, because today was Cai Die's last day. If Cai Die didn't come,
If so, Xiao Yu had no choice but to ask the mountain god Mouse, but with Cai Die's cultivation, he probably wouldn't dare to break his promise.
Just when Xiao Yu was sitting at the door with his chin propped up, firecrackers rang out in the village. Xiao Yu knew that it was the old village chief who was about to have a spirit this morning!
Today, July 15th, is also the day when the old village chief was buried. Xiao Yu had nothing to do, so he planned to go to the old village chief's house first. After all, it was still early, and maybe Cai Die was still sleeping!
Standing not far from the old village chief's house, Xiao Yu saw that the people carrying the coffin were ready. Because there were only urns in the coffin, the coffin was very light. The four young people lifted it up without any burden.
Xiao Yu stood on the side of the road, listening to the sound of firecrackers, followed by a cry and a loud sound. Then Uncle Xiao from last night walked out holding a brazier, followed by some people holding wreaths, and
The relatives holding the boys and girls, as well as the white horses, all looked sad. Wherever they passed, the ghost papers were scattered all over the ground, which looked very spectacular.
In fact, Xiao Yu was also very confused at this time. After the old village chief was killed, the female ghost said that he did not see the old village chief's soul. So where did the old village chief's soul go? The first thing that Xiao Yu thought of was that he was killed.
The City God took him away, but who was the City God, and how could he care about a soul? But the soul was not taken away by him, so how could it disappear under the eyes of the female ghost?
Xiao Yu opened his eyes. After the team carrying the coffin left, he entered the old village chief's yard and looked around, but he couldn't find the old village chief's soul. At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly heard
There was a sound of crying. The sound came and went. The sound should be that of an old man, but how could an old man cry in broad daylight?
Although the sound came and went, Xiao Yu could still hear it. The sound was around him, so he stopped while walking. After a while, he was standing outside the Xiao family ancestral hall, and the sound came from inside the ancestral hall.
came.
"Who could it be, crying here so early in the morning?" Xiao Yu thought to himself, and immediately walked into the ancestral hall. At this time, Xiao Yu was shocked, because the one crying was none other than the old village chief, but now
It can be said that the old village chief was completely unrecognizable, half of his head and half of his body were gone, and his whole body was completely black. He looked the same as when he died.
"Grandpa Village Chief, why are you here?" Although the Village Chief was dead, Xiao Yu had seen a lot of things, so he wasn't too scared, so he immediately stepped forward and asked.
When the old village chief heard Xiao Yu's voice, he didn't pay attention at first. After all, he was a soul now and mortals couldn't see him. But when Xiao Yu stood in front of him, he realized that Xiao Yu could see him.
"Xiao Yu, can you see me?" the old village chief stopped crying and said in surprise.
"Grandpa, village chief, I am a Taoist priest. Of course I can see you, but why are you here? Why don't you go to the grave?"
"Hey, Grandpa hasn't thanked you yet for helping me kill that monster! Look at what Grandpa is like now. I'm afraid of going out to scare people, so I'm hiding here and waiting to go out at night."
Xiao Yu paused for a moment and couldn't help but smile and said, "Grandpa Village Chief, this is how you looked when you died. You can change it. Even ghosts can change at will. Don't you know?"
"Oh, are you serious?" the old village chief said happily.
"Of course, if you don't believe me, try it." Xiao Yu nodded.
After death, although a person will retain the same appearance as when he died, he has become a ghost after all, so he still has the basic ability to transform. However, when ghosts appear in front of humans, they usually look very scary, so people refer to ghosts.
, all felt scared.
When the old village chief heard what Xiao Yu said, his heart immediately moved, and his face suddenly returned to its previous appearance. This made him overjoyed. He stood up and looked at his arms and said, "Grandpa also said that you can't go see your ancestors like this."
,it's good now".
"Grandpa village chief, how did you come to the ancestral hall?"
The old village chief shook his head and said, "I don't know. After I was killed by a zombie, my soul was dragged here before I left my body. Because I was afraid that others would see me, I hid in the ancestral hall. I just saw the children."
The scene when we parted made me cry sadly! If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have known what I would have done."
Xiao Yu nodded doubtfully, and then looked at the decorations in the ancestral hall. However, except for a few rows of spiritual thrones, there was nothing else in the entire ancestral hall! However, the ancestral hall actually had the power of guardianship, which surprised Xiao Yu.
.
"It seems that the ancestors of the Xiao family saw the female ghost outside, so they pulled your soul in. Otherwise, you would have been eaten by the female ghost by now," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
