I was startled and turned around quickly, but there was nothing.
Lin Wan laughed.
"You are so timid, I am teasing you!"
I sweated a lot, shook my head helplessly, and my heart was almost frightened by her.
Next, I chatted with Lin Wan while working, which basically happened in the past few years after graduating from high school.
Actually, there wasn't much to learn. College life was boring. Lin Wan asked me if I had a girlfriend in college. I smiled bitterly and shook my head, and then we talked about my current situation.
"My family has been a coffin bearer for generations, and I am already the ninth generation of coffin bearers." I said.
"Then will you do this in the future?" Lin Wan asked.
"I don't know, I guess so." I felt a little melancholy. After all, I am also a college student and have my own dreams.
"By the way, what about you? What are you doing now?" I changed the subject.
"I work as a house seller in Kowloon City, sales manager, okay?" Lin Wan was a little proud.
"Tsk tsk, it's not bad. How is the house selling?" I asked.
"It was good before, but it can't be sold recently." Lin Wan suddenly had a sad look on her face.
"Why?" I was curious.
"Hey, there were several accidents on the construction site. One person died and six were injured. The news spread. I don't know who spread the rumor that Kowloon City is unclean. Many people were afraid to buy it." Lin Wan
A look of helplessness.
I was a little curious, and just about to ask what was going on, the tombstone suddenly fell down with a roar.
"Finally we dug it." I was overjoyed.
Then I quickly tied up the stele with a rope. The stele was not as heavy as I thought, because this stele was special. It was not a square entity, but hollow. There were several holes of different sizes on it. I counted exactly nine.
, scattered throughout the stone monument.
"This stone tablet is so strange. Look, these holes are actually connected to each other." Lin Wan walked up and shined a flashlight on it and said curiously.
I thought to myself, isn’t it? If there is nothing special about it, how can it be called the Nine Orifices Exquisite Monument? And how can it enter the royal garden in the palace.
While I was talking, I tied a knot and then used a shovel to thread it through. Lin Wan quickly came over to help, and we worked together to barely lift the stone tablet.
"Hey! There seems to be a hole." Lin Wan said.
I also saw that the bottom of the stone tablet was not solid soil, but there was indeed a hole under a few tree roots.
"It's probably some kind of animal nest. Don't worry about it and leave quickly." I remembered my grandfather's instructions and didn't take a closer look.
Lin Wan yelled, and I carried the stone tablet and turned around, then put it on the tricycle.
But just when everything was ready and ready to ride away, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"help me,"
I was immediately startled, and turned my head sharply to look at the place where the monument was erected, where the sound came from.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wan turned around and looked at me in confusion.
"Did you hear a woman talking?" I asked nervously.
Lin Wan's character changed immediately, and she hugged my arm, "Zhang Jiuyang, don't scare me."
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Lin Wan gritted her teeth and pretended to be brave and walked back again. She shined her flashlight downwards and exclaimed.
"Zhang Jiuyang, come here quickly, there is something."
I hesitated, then walked over. Under the illumination of the flashlight, I saw a skeleton lying in the black hole.
The skeleton was more than ten feet long and looked like a python, with thigh-thickness and a brass nail stuck in its head, firmly anchored to the ground.
Lin Wan and I looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes. This snake had obviously been nailed to death with brass nails.
Lin Wan stretched out her hand to pull out the brass nail. I quickly reached out to stop her. Grandpa warned me not to meddle in other people's business, not to mention that this stone tablet was inherently evil.
"Let's go, don't touch this thing."
As I said that, I turned around and walked down the slope. After fixing the stone tablet, Lin Wan also walked down with her hands behind her back, and then I saw her raising her hand towards me.
My expression suddenly changed.
Lin Wan actually pulled out the copper nail.
"Lin Wan, you..."
"What are you afraid of? Isn't it just a copper nail?" Lin Wan turned around and walked to the car with an indifferent expression.
"Nonsense!" I grabbed the copper nail and was about to insert it back in. But at this moment, a gust of wind blew by, and then there was a crisp "snap" sound, and the snake bones suddenly shattered, as if they were weathered.
This wind came out of nowhere, carrying an indescribable chill. I didn't dare to delay and quickly filled in the hole, and then urged Lin Wan to leave quickly.
When leaving the village entrance, the feeling of being stared at appeared again. I looked back unexpectedly, but saw nothing.
But I just felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at me secretly.
The process of engraving the monument went smoothly. At 3:30 in the morning, we returned home, but when we entered the door, something strange happened.
The stone tablet that was originally lying on the tricycle suddenly stood up with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, the entire tricycle sank suddenly, as if something heavy was pressing down on it. Then a bang was heard, and the tricycle had a tire burst.
This weird scene frightened Lin Wan until she turned pale. She jumped off the tricycle with a scream, then grabbed me and hid behind me.
Huzi rushed out after hearing the sound and asked me what was wrong. I didn't say anything and stared at the tombstone. At this time, the tombstone suddenly shook violently, as if someone was fighting for it, and the tricycle also shook violently.
, every few times, another tire was overwhelmed and burst.
Lin Wan was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, and I quickly stopped her.
"Young master, be careful, something stolen has come to the house." Huzi exclaimed and protected us behind him.
Before he finished speaking, the New Year's door paintings on the door suddenly burst into flames, and two of them burned at the same time.
I was shocked. This thing was so ferocious that even the door paintings couldn't restrain it. It was simply appalling.
At this moment, the door painting of the main room also burst into flames, and the flames instantly reached a height of two feet.
"Young master, what on earth have you done to provoke such a vicious thing!" Huzi's face turned pale.
"I don't know, I didn't do anything..."
Halfway through my words, I suddenly turned my head and looked at Lin Wan. Lin Wan was also stunned, and then said in unison, "It's that copper nail!"
"Zhang Jiuyang, have I caused trouble?" Lin Wan looked panicked.
"It's okay, I have a solution."
As I spoke, I turned around and rushed into the room. I took out the dragon rope (the rope used to carry the coffin) that my grandfather had used for many years, and rushed forward to tie the stone tablet.
"Huzi, Longgan, hurry up!"
The stele shook even more violently, and I managed to tie it up. At this time, Huzi also took the dragon pole over.
"Lin Wan, come help, let's carry the stone tablet in." I shouted to Lin Wan who was at a loss.
Although Lin Wan was very frightened by the car, she still ran over quickly. Huzi wanted to come up to help, so I quickly shouted him back. He must not touch some things.
The dragon bar passed through the rope, and Lin Wan and I put one end on our shoulders. I shouted one, two, three, and Lin Wan and I used force at the same time to lift the stone tablet in one go.
The stone tablet was shaking violently, and the power was trying its best to stop us. Lin Wan couldn't bear it anymore. There was a painful expression on her face, and her body was swaying and about to fall. I became anxious and shouted:
"Lin Wan, hold on tight and carry her in. I can be your boyfriend."
Lin Wan steadied her body when she heard this, "Xiaodoujiao, this is what you said, ah!"
With a loud shout, Lin Wan didn't know where the strength came from. Her small waist straightened up straight, and she just grabbed the dragon bar with both hands and walked into the yard.
Because of this momentary explosion, Lin Wan and I carried the stone tablet into the yard at once, and I quickly recited a spell to calm it down.
"The stone tablet has a name, and the stone tablet has a surname. If you enter my Zhang family, heaven and earth will prove it. Ksitigarbha's decree will clear away evil spirits quickly. It will be determined, determined, determined."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman roared suddenly in the sky.
"don't want!"
Then, I felt the stone tablet suddenly lighten.
I know that the dirty things were forced away from the stone tablet. When the stone tablet entered my house and recited the Anwu Mantra, it became the belongings of my Zhang family. It had a name and was protected by heaven and earth. Things outside the Zhang family could no longer live in it.
A gust of wind suddenly blew outside, accompanied by a sinister female laughter. The laughter was full of resentment and echoed on the roof of my house. It took a long time before it dispersed.
I sat down on the manhole cover with a sigh of relief, my back was wet with cold sweat. Lin Wan was also like me, her face was pale and she was very frightened.
"Xiaodoujiao, you killed me." Lin Wan pouted and looked at me angrily.
"It's not because of your quick hands." I said helplessly.
"I don't care, you agree to be my boyfriend anyway." Lin Wan said proudly.
"Don't you care about the point of the problem?" I looked at her dumbfounded. Most people would be frightened to say something like this! She actually focused on this.
"What's the point? This is the point. Don't try to cheat." Lin Wan pouted.
"Don't you even know how to be afraid?"
"What's so scary? I'm so brave." Lin Wan didn't take it seriously.
I'm speechless.
Then I felt relieved. I have to say that Lin Wan's adaptability is really strong, but even I don't know what will happen tomorrow night.
Hope everything goes well by then!
Soon, it was the next day.
On this day, I realized how glorious my grandfather’s life was.
Ever since a few relatives from the countryside came over early in the morning, cars have been driving up to the front door of my house.
Although I don’t know these people at all, apart from some prominent figures, there seem to be some quite mysterious people.
By 10:30 p.m., the motorcade had already lined up on the road at the entrance of the village. There were at least dozens or hundreds of vehicles.
I didn’t expect that my grandfather, a coffin bearer who dealt with dead people, would have so many people come to see him off. Suddenly, my view of this industry changed a bit.
According to Grandpa's instructions, guests were registered by name and no gifts were accepted. But seeing the gifts that often cost thousands, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands, my heart bleeds. I did some rough calculations, and in just a moment, at least
It's about one million or so. This money is enough to buy a house in fourth- and fifth-tier cities.
"Xiaodoujiao, your grandfather is not a big shot in the city who has retired, right? There are so many gifts." Lin Wan said in a low voice.
Before she finished speaking, Lin Wan suddenly let out a sigh. I followed her line of sight and saw a slim figure walking in slowly from outside the door. She was a beautiful woman in her twenties, sixty-seven years old, with minimal makeup but a peerless look.
Elegance.
As she walked slowly, there was silence inside and outside the courtyard, and then someone began to greet her with a smile, calling her Mr. Ye.
The beauty responded, walked over to me, and stood in front of me.
