I was not at the cemetery at all, so I naturally shook my head in denial when I picked up some money.
Coffin Yang looked at me and shook his head, his face filled with anger, and he spat on the ground, saying that he was being sneaky and wanted me to be the scapegoat.
This sentence scared us a lot. The third uncle immediately took out a thick wad of money, estimated to be more than ten thousand, and begged Coffin Yang to save me. He said that no matter how much money he had, my family would pay for it. Hope to save my life.
Coffin Yang raised his hand and pushed the money, and then stared at me for a long time: "I don't want the money."
As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at me: "I want him to be my disciple. The sneaky one that is pestering him is extremely difficult to deal with. I can't always stay by his side. If I want him to survive, I can only practice Taoism with me."
The third uncle and grandma were not willing to do it at first. As a monk, it is inevitable to deal with sneaky people all day long. I am the only one in the family, so how could they give up?
But if you don’t practice Taoism, you will die.
The third uncle and grandma could only nod and agree.
Coffin Yang heard my grandma and third uncle agree, and turned to ask my opinion.
At this moment, my head was already in a state of confusion and I was feeling dizzy, so I just agreed in a daze.
When Coffin Yang saw that I agreed, he was extremely happy, as if he had won some big prize. He then ordered his third uncle to prepare a big rooster and a bottle of wine, saying that he wanted to solve the problem for me.
The third uncle was also unambiguous about the matter that endangered my life. He went out immediately and came back after a while carrying a big rooster.
Coffin Yang asked for my horoscope and wrote it on a piece of paper with a brush.
It is said that a rooster will be used as a scapegoat, which is the legendary trickster...
You want to use the big cock's life in exchange for my life.
According to Coffin Yang, he is a liar, and people will always cheat him.
When I heard this, I felt it made sense. I had been deceived by ghosts in the first place, and now it seemed normal to deceive me back.
"Mr. Yang, what should I do?"
I looked at the big cock in Coffin Yang's hand and couldn't help but ask.
The third uncle secretly glared at me, and I reacted and quickly changed my name to "Master". Coffin Yang didn't mind, but just waved his hand and said, "I won't hinder you now. When the matter is resolved, I will officially become a disciple. Then I won't call you Master." Late.
I heard Coffin Yang say that at midnight tonight, I will wear a shroud and walk around the village holding a big rooster. At that time, no matter what sound I hear or what I see, I cannot look back, let alone speak.
When will the big rooster die before he can come back? Before he comes back, he has to go to the crossroads and burn all the money. Of course, he can't talk...
After hearing this, I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart. According to what Coffin Yang meant, there would be certain dangers if I held the big rooster and walked around the village tonight, especially if I heard something or saw something.
Anyway, I spent this afternoon on tenterhooks. All I was thinking about was what happened in the evening. I just hoped that this incident would pass peacefully.
In the evening, my third uncle prepared a black shroud for me. The rooster was tied with a red rope by Coffin Yang and handed into my hand. He held a wine bottle in his hand, poured the wine into a bowl, and read some jerky words in his mouth. Finally, he splashed it on the ground.
At Coffin Yang's signal, I also started to step out of the house. When I went out, Coffin Yang would pour a little wine behind me with every step I took.
It is said that this is to cover up the yang energy in my body so that the ghost who only wants to kill me cannot find me.
We don’t know if this is true. We just feel that the surroundings are a lot colder. We don’t know if it is a psychological thing.
After leaving the courtyard, there were no street lights in the countryside. With the full moon in the sky, the bright moonlight could barely see the road ahead.
I was holding the big rooster, feeling anxious and looking around uneasily, for fear that a ghostly face would come out from the dark and bite me to death.
After a lap, nothing happened. It was just that the surroundings were eerily quiet without a single sound. This made me suffer inside. I don’t want to experience this feeling of fear again in my life.
As I was walking, there was the sound of trampling footsteps behind me. The footsteps were very heavy, as if they were deliberately attracting my attention.
My heart tightened, and my body holding the big rooster was trembling slightly. The big rooster in my arms, which had been noisy all the time, also wilted down, as if it was afraid of something just like me.
The footsteps behind me were far and near, and I could feel that there was someone standing behind me at this moment, someone who wanted my life.
Fortunately, I had Coffin Yang's instructions before, so I didn't look back. I just continued walking forward nervously, testing from time to time whether the big rooster was dead.
But after another round, the broken chicken was still in good condition, with no signs of death.
I swear, in this life I have never expected a creature to die quickly. Now I hope so much that the next second the big rooster dies, I can go home safely.
After an unknown amount of time, the footsteps disappeared, and I breathed a sigh of relief. But before I could take a break, a pair of hands with a biting coldness suddenly rested on my shoulders.
I shivered all over, and my legs couldn't stop shaking. At this time, I was very sure that there was a dirty thing standing behind me.
He was standing behind me, his body pressed against my back, and he kept blowing cold wind in my ears.
I didn't dare scream, let alone do anything abnormal. I knew there was a ghost lying behind me, but I had to pretend it wasn't there and move forward as if nothing had happened.
This kind of suffering must be incomprehensible to everyone no matter what.
I don’t know how long it took, but the coldness behind me disappeared, and I took a long breath. It seemed that the ghost was gone.
But before I could take a few steps, under the bright moonlight, I saw a long black shadow slowly stretching out from the corner ahead.
The black shadow slowly walked out from the corner. When I saw the owner of the shadow, my heart suddenly dropped. My heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of my throat.
The person who came out was none other than Fatty Cui, who was frightened to death. His pupils were dilated and he stared at me with a pair of dead fish eyes, smiling stupidly at me.
"Tianyi, let's go to the cemetery, let's go to the cemetery, hahahaha!"
His laughter made my whole body shiver and my teeth kept chattering. I knew that this was not Fatty Cui, nor could it be some kind of corpse scam.
This must be the illusion created by that ghost, trying to scare me out of my voice.
I can't make a sound, otherwise my life will be lost...
I plucked up the courage, pretended not to notice, and walked around Fatty Cui as if nothing had happened. After walking around, I breathed a long sigh of relief.
My bet was right!
When I looked down, I saw that the big rooster in my arms had died at some point. His body was slightly cold, but his eyes were wide open and his beak was wide open. It was not like normal. The dead chicken is somewhat similar to Fatty Cui, both were scared to death.
I took a deep breath, put down the rooster, and continued walking forward without daring to look back. When I reached the crossroads, I thought that I would be done with taking out the wad of money and burning it.
I took out the lighter and was about to burn the money. At this moment, Coffin Yang's voice suddenly boomed: "You can't burn it. I was wrong before. If you burn it, the ghost will haunt you for the rest of your life!"
My hand holding the lighter suddenly trembled, and I quickly turned around to see Coffin Yang standing behind me. A strange smile suddenly appeared on his anxious face, and he didn't say anything, just looking at me with a smile.
I immediately realized something was wrong. Damn it, I took all precautions, but I still got deceived by a ghost.
He is not Coffin Yang at all, but the ghost who wants to kill me!
