"Gudu."
I stared stiffly at the lantern above my head and couldn't help but swallow.
I don't know exactly what happened to this lantern, but I can make a rough guess about what happened back then.
This thing is not a good thing.
"So annoying!"
Chen Ling suddenly grabbed the pillow and threw it towards the lantern above his head.
"Don't......"
I was shocked and wanted to stop him, but it was too late!
The lantern was hit by the pillow and was dangling in the air, leaving a cloud of dust.
But the strange thing is that after Chen Ling hit the pillow like this, the lantern became quiet, the outline of the face on it disappeared, and even the strange sound did not come out again.
I looked at the swaying lantern for a while, making sure that nothing was wrong, and then I finally felt relieved.
After this incident happened, Chen Ling and I didn't know what to say for a while. The two of us just lay side by side, and the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Just as I was racking my brains on how to bring up the topic again, there was a sudden commotion in the main room. I even heard someone shouting, and it felt like something had happened.
"There's something wrong with your grandfather's body!"
Chen Ling said suddenly.
"How did you know?"
I looked at her suspiciously.
"I won't tell you."
Chen Lingjiao laughed.
I thought she was joking, but the noise outside became louder and louder. I even heard my father and Chen Yunqi coming out of the house!
Now I finally couldn't sit still anymore, so I quickly got out of bed and ran to the main room to take a look.
When I saw it, my scalp went numb on the spot. My grandfather's body was actually sitting there upright. The people watching the night were so frightened that they hid at the door. Only my father and Chen Yunqi stood beside the body with pale faces.
"Shocked!"
Chen Yunqi said with a solemn expression.
There are generally two types of these fake corpses, one is for touching the yin, and the other is for catching the evil spirits.
What Chen Yunqi calls a shocked corpse is the former, when the corpse touches something with a strong negative energy, such as being stepped on by a cat.
Cats are yin, and all the yin energy of the body is concentrated on the four paws, so once the body is trampled by the cat, it will definitely be a corpse. The main reason for rural people to keep vigil is to guard against this.
But there are no cats in our area, and looking at my grandfather’s body, it’s obvious that he wasn’t a killer.
Because if the evil spirit enters the body, the body will soon transform into a corpse. But my grandfather is just sitting upright now and shows no signs of transforming into a corpse.
So something with a very strong Yin energy must have touched the corpse.
My father and Chen Yunqi tried to knock my grandfather down and make him lie down again, but the body was too stiff and they couldn't be knocked down at all.
In this situation, let alone burial, the coffin cannot even be loaded into it.
"Eleven, do you have a thunder ruler?"
Chen Yunqi saw that I was also present, so he asked me.
"have."
I nodded and ran back to the house to get the thunder ruler.
These are all my grandfather's things. He passed them on to me along with the Feng Shui inheritance, but I have never used them.
Chen Yunqi took the thunder ruler, then made a five-thunder seal with his left hand, and suddenly hit my grandfather's chest with the thunder ruler.
The thunder ruler is made of lightning strike wood, which contains the power of thunder. Hitting the corpse with this object can disperse the yin energy of the deceased.
Although I knew very well what Chen Yunqi was doing, that was my grandfather after all. I couldn't bear to see him suffering like this after his death, so I looked away.
After the three thunder rulers passed, my grandfather's body finally lay down again, but his clothes moved slightly, as if there was something hidden underneath.
Sure enough, soon a black snake as thick as a rolling pin crawled out of my grandfather's clothes.
We have seen many people in Snake Village, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but it is somewhat strange to appear on a dead person.
Everyone moved away unconsciously, for fear of being attacked by the black snake.
It seems that my grandfather's corpse fraud must have been caused by this thing. Snakes are also yin, not to mention the black snake with the strongest yin energy.
My father quickly ran outside and brought in a shovel, hoping to shovel the black snake outside and throw it away!
"Don't touch it."
Chen Yunqi suddenly stopped my father, frowned and said: "There is a problem with this snake, let me deal with it."
As he spoke, Chen Yunqi took out a charm from his pocket and slapped the black snake with his backhand.
The black snake immediately coiled up in a circle and curled up completely.
Chen Yunqi took the shovel from my father's hand, scooped up the snake, and carried it out.
Before leaving the house, he asked me to grab my kitchen knife and rolling pin and follow him.
Although I don't know what Chen Yunqi wants to do? But he also felt that this was something strange, so he followed his instructions, grabbed a kitchen knife and a rolling pin and followed him out.
Not long after, Chen Yunqi carried the black snake to an open space outside. Then he put down the shovel and took the rolling pin and kitchen knife from my hand.
The black snake was still coiled together and not running away. It was probably restrained by Chen Yunqi's talisman!
Although the snake is a spiritual animal, even regarded as a god by some people, it is just an animal after all, nothing more. If it is just an ordinary snake, it is absolutely impossible to be calmed by the talisman, so this snake is obviously There is a problem.
Chen Yunqi pinched his fingers and made some calculations, then placed the rolling pin on the ground, with one end facing the southeast and the other facing the northwest.
Today is the second day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar. Ren Shen Gui You's sword has a golden edge, coming from evil spirits in the east and Chikou in the west.
Chen Yunqi placed the rolling pin in this position, obviously intending to kill the snake.
Sure enough, after he lit a cigarette, he unveiled the talisman on the black snake.
The black snake escaped from the trap and immediately twisted its body and quickly burrowed into the grass not far away.
Chen Yunqi didn't stop him, he just stuck the cigarette on the ground, then made a trick with his left hand and started to mutter something.
The black snake that ran out suddenly stopped, then turned back and slowly crawled to the side of the rolling pin.
Chen Yunqi was still reciting the incantation, and the black snake began to circle around the rolling pin as if possessed by an evil spirit. It kept spitting out letters, and from time to time it would stick the snake's head on the rolling pin, but it soon became alert again. Shrank back.
After being in a stalemate like this for a while, I saw beads of sweat forming on Chen Yunqi's forehead, and his face gradually turned pale.
It seems that this snake is not that easy to kill. Although I wanted to help him, I also knew that the spell had reached an important moment and could not be interrupted, so I could only wait and worry.
After a long stalemate, the black snake finally climbed onto the rolling pin.
At this time, Chen Yunqi suddenly stopped chanting the curse, crossed his palm with the kitchen knife in his hand, and then slashed it down with a sharp slash.
When the kitchen knife cut open his palm, the blade was also stained with his blood. Once it was cut off, the snake's head fell to the ground, but the black snake's body was still rolling and twisting on the ground, which was very strange.
