The night is getting darker.
I forced myself to stay beside my grandpa and refused to fall asleep, but grandpa gently patted my back and comforted me, "It's okay, go to sleep, go to sleep!"
"Everything is fate."
Drowsiness came over me, and even though I didn't want to sleep, my brain still lost consciousness.
I still drifted off to sleep, and when I woke up again, it was already dark.
Sure enough, just as Grandpa said, he was no longer breathing and his body was stiff.
Looking at grandpa's pale face, my heart hurt.
My grandfather passed away and I no longer have any relatives in the world.
I didn't have time to feel sad, so I kept repeating my grandfather's instructions in my heart.
"Anyway, no matter what, you can't cry."
From Grandpa's room, I took out the shroud he had prepared a long time ago, put it on him with difficulty, lit the white candle, placed the memorial altar, opened Grandpa's mouth, and stuffed a copper coin into it.
Then he picked up the talisman and drew it according to the talisman taught by his grandfather, sealed his eyes and put him in the coffin.
I caught a few chickens from the chicken coop, killed them according to Grandpa's instructions, took the blood and poured it on the door of the mourning hall, and then put the chickens on the coffin.
At night, I fell directly into the coffin and recited Taishang Laojun's Jingjing Sutra in my heart.
In the past few days, every night has been non-stop.
As soon as midnight comes, you can hear strange noises, like two strange things fighting.
I can only force myself to sleep.
Then during the day, when I got up and saw the whole person, I was stunned.
The ground was covered with weasel feathers, and the chicken on the coffin had disappeared, leaving only a pile of chicken bones.
In the past few days, snake skin with strange patterns appeared every day in the courtyard, which was as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
Could it be that it was Huang Pizi and Snake Fairy? ?
Grandpa asked me to sprinkle chicken blood just to attract them? ?
The seventh day is my birthday, and my grandfather’s first seventh day is July 14th.
After kowtowing to my grandfather and offering incense, I had a simple meal and then lay down in the coffin.
The sky became gloomy, with dark clouds, but the moon was extraordinarily round.
It was eerily quiet outside the coffin, and the sounds of the two fighting did not appear.
I thought today would be the same and I would spend it peacefully, but at midnight a familiar voice came from outside the mourning hall.
"My dear grandson, it's grandpa, come out quickly... don't lie down anywhere..."
There was a buzz in my head, and my vision suddenly went dark.
But when I heard the familiar voice, I couldn't stop crying for some reason. I simply put my grandfather's instructions behind me, pushed open the coffin cover and jumped out of the coffin.
I stood in the mourning platform, and the white candle flickered on and off. Outside the mourning hall, my grandfather was leaning on a crutch. The figure was clearly my grandfather, but I couldn't see his face clearly.
"Grandpa, are you back? Have you come back to see me? Grandpa, I miss you..."
"Good boy, come out quickly, step out from that threshold, and grandpa will take you to a place where you can see grandpa every day."
I seemed to be bewitched.
One step, two steps, only half a step away from the mourning hall.
"Yes, that's it. You will be able to see grandpa every day soon."
The grandfather's voice outside the mourning hall was somewhat erratic due to the wind.
After listening to my grandfather's words, I suddenly woke up.
"The place where you can see grandpa every day... isn't that... Yinsi? No, he is not grandpa!"
I hurriedly retracted my legs, and suddenly I remembered all my grandfather's words.
Taking another closer look, under the full moon, there was a snake's tail swinging behind Grandpa.
There was a flash of lightning in the sky, and suddenly there was a faint sound of thunder.
Boom.
The person standing outside the mourning hall is absolutely inhuman.
I was so frightened that I lost my balance and fell out of the mourning hall. When the figure saw that I had already left the mourning hall, he stopped pretending. In an instant, a burst of black mist enveloped him. The next second, grandpa's figure disappeared, and then there was A large blue-striped python with a thick mouth.
His evil eyes revealed a faint red light.
"It's been seven days, and you finally came out. That damn old man burped. I wonder who can protect you. Your pure yin body and pure yin soul belong to me, Chang Daxian!!"
I hurriedly turned around, wanting to return to the mourning hall, but the next scene frightened me.
The chicken blood splashed outside the mourning hall behind me turned into an endless pool of blood, and I was actually far away from the mourning hall.
It seems that the formation has taken effect and we will not be able to return to the mourning hall before dawn.
I tried to calm down, but the fear that filled my body was like a puddle of mud, unable to move.
The ferocious python twisted its body, opened its mouth wide and exposed its sharp teeth, and came towards me quickly.
"It's over!"
Chang Daxian entangled me, Snake Xinzi licked my head, my ribs were broken, and blood spurted from my mouth.
Just when I feel like I'm being swallowed into the belly of a snake at any moment.
A somewhat familiar voice came into my ears, "Let go of that bastard! Let's continue the duel!!"
"Child, don't be afraid, my second uncle is here!"
Terrified to the extreme, I looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a Chinese tunic suit, holding a shovel, leaping across the lightning-thundering night sky and landing in the courtyard.
He picked up the shovel and hit Chang Daxian. Chang Daxian let go of me in pain.
"The Ma family is kind to Mr. Huang. I, Mr. Huang, will protect their descendants. Those named Chang should stay away. Next time I will hit you seven inches."
I took a closer look and realized it.
I know this kiwi-like face, he is the yellow-skinned man who was seeking a title back then, the second uncle who my grandpa said suffered from mental illness.
The man wearing a Chinese tunic suit turned his head 180 degrees and asked me with a grin, "Are you okay, nephew? I'm here, don't worry about this little worm."
I was frightened. Huang Pizi appeared and claimed to be my second uncle, but it did not cure my mental fear.
Chang Daxian was furious.
"Your uncle, Huangpizi, don't pretend to be a good person here, and make me anxious and take care of you too."
Huang Pizi glanced at me and shook his head helplessly, "As expected of a very yin body, this is a great tonic for the demon immortal!"
Huang Pizi bared his teeth, "If you take one bite of this, it will at least improve your skill for a hundred years."
Only then did I realize that the noise every night was caused by the struggle between this yellow-skinned spirit and this big python.
But it seems that Chang Daxian didn't take any advantage.
Now that he heard what Huang Pizi said, he became interested, "How about we two brothers make it for him together?"
"We each have half, my arms are yours, and my thighs are mine. Let's start the fire."
Listening to the conversation between the two spirit monsters, my heart trembled, "You just arranged it for me?"
Huang Pizi said disdainfully, "I am different from you. You are a mountain spirit and wild monster, and I am a Baojiaxian!"
Chang Daxian laughed loudly after listening to Huang Pizi's words, "Baojiaxian? Hahaha, it sounds so nice, but it's not like being a cow or a horse for a mere human being."
Listening to their conversation, I got an idea in my mind. I remembered that when I was a kid, during festivals, my grandfather would really talk about it and burn incense in front of the immortal's tablet.
It seems that this yellow-skinned spirit is not here to harm me, but on the contrary, he is here to save me. He should be one of our Ma family's guardian immortals, and those chickens placed on the coffin should be offerings to him.
These past few nights, it seems that he is secretly protecting me.
When Huang Pizi heard Chang Daxian's sarcasm, his hairy face changed instantly, "You wait for me, I have to take out your snake gall!"
"You're the only one who still wants to defeat me? I'll eat you first, and then I'll eat him, and then I'll make up for it!"
Chang Daxian was preparing to launch an attack.
At this moment, a gust of fragrant wind came and invaded my nasal cavity.
It smells so good, this smell is so familiar. It seems that every year after July 14th, grandpa smells like this, but it's not so obvious.
No, this smell is the smell of fox.
"Who said he was the only one?"
