Master Kou almost hid his head in his military coat and kept squinting.
Strangely enough, after the black dog barked for a few minutes, it suddenly became silent and became silent after a whimper.
The morgue that was full of barking just now suddenly fell silent, which made both of us want to open our eyes and take a look.
I'm still thinking about grandpa,
There is so much confusion surrounding these things, what is the truth?
What does grandpa mean by asking me to come here?
Could it be said that Mr. Kou's death was also expected by grandpa?
Looking at it now, grandpa is definitely not a simple charlatan.
I just heard from the man in Jinjiagou that my grandfather took the body of a semi-immortal Taoist priest and drove it hundreds of miles away. Who thinks that this was done by a person with only a little training?
Grandpa made the Yin Marriage Contract, and the method to untie it was also taught by Grandpa.
Forty years ago, my grandfather was already a corpse collector. Twenty years ago, my grandfather was sixty years old. Forty years ago, he was forty years old.
Is it possible to see things forty years later at the age of forty?
Or is it that the solution to the yin marriage contract was just something grandpa accidentally said?
This incident at Qinglong Temple was just grandpa using a good deed he had done to help me?
When I was thinking, Kou Shao was like a light on my back,
Somehow he always felt like someone was staring at him, and the terrifying feeling of gaze enveloped him.
Now he felt that this empty, cold morgue was terrifying, and he wished that the black dog would bark a few more times to break the silence.
Some sound is really better than dead silence.
He closed his eyes and tried to kick the black dog to make it make some movement, but he failed even after several kicks.
Mr. Kou got angry and continued to kick in anger.
This kick seems to have hit something. I can tell based on the feeling of the kick after a few times.
That's manpower.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry I stepped on you."
"We are quite far apart, how could you possibly kick me?" I wondered.
Mr. Kou's trembling body immediately froze. They were the only two people alive in the entire morgue.
He stepped on someone's hand. Whose hand is it if it's not Mr. Zhang?
He subconsciously opened a slit in his eyes, and happened to look into a pale face.
The face pushed open the coffin and looked at Mr. Kou with his head stretched out like that.
Lifeless, dull gray turbid eyes, face like a stone statue.
"Dad...Dad", Mr. Kou moved back with fear in his eyes,
The man who opened the coffin lid and revealed his face was his father, Kou Zhenghai!
"My dad is alive, my dad is alive!
The more he looked at the face of the dead body, the more his soul became uncertain.
He squeezed his eyes and shouted in fear.
I stood up, holding the horizontal knife and looking at the coffin.
But there was no sign of the coffin being opened, and only Master Kou was seen covering his eyes and screaming in panic.
'dad! ....dad! ...I am your son'
I stepped forward to take away his hand that was covering my eyes. When I touched him, I got excited and my hands moved wildly.
I said helplessly: "Look carefully, your dad is lying inside."
Master Kou carefully removed a finger, and through his fingers he did see that the coffin was placed on the table, and the coffin lid showed no signs of moving.
He slowly moved his hand away to make sure before he dared to relax.
"It scared me to death. I thought my dad was alive."
I shook my head: "I told you to close your eyes and pretend to sleep, but you must open your eyes."
Mr. Kou was embarrassed and wanted to explain.
Just listen to a sudden sound outside the door: "Gurgling! Ouch!".
"The yellow rooster crows!".
Master Kou did not hesitate this time. He took off his military coat and ran outside:
"Mr. Zhang is leaving, let's go quickly."
I turned around and picked up the knife box on the ground and walked out. Anyone who was keeping vigil would leave immediately when the yellow rooster crowed.
This is also a relief for us, we don't have to stay in the morgue anymore,
As a result, the three strange things corresponding to the yellow chicken, black dog, and green snake all happened.
After leaving the morgue, Mr. Kou held his knees and took a deep breath of fresh air, sighing.
"I really can't imagine what would happen if I really stayed there all night."
"Fortunately, Mr. Zhang is here tonight, otherwise I would be confused by this situation."
I turned around and asked him: "What are you going to do next?".
"It's past midnight now, so Mr. Kou should be buried today."
Mr. Kou nodded: "Yes, my father said that he must be buried today no matter what, so he also said it."
"If the yellow rooster crows, we cannot continue to keep vigil. We will wait until after two o'clock to go in again, and wait until the sun goes down before we can bury him."
"The sun goes down?", I think it's not just me, anyone who hears Mr. Kou's request will be confused.
This was a burial, so there was no good time to choose it, but Mr. Kou actually chose it after the sun went down?
This is not auspicious in any way, but rather weird.
Mr. Kou smiled bitterly and said, "Such weird things have happened to my dad. Is there still one thing missing now?"
"We all obeyed him and prepared yellow chickens, green snakes, and black dogs. We even buried him after dark."
"The cemetery has been prepared, and there is no need for complicated etiquette. When the time comes, just bury him."
'It's still some time before dawn. Let's go and drink a bowl of hot soup to warm yourself up. After staying here for a while, your bones are almost cold.'
"Okay", I didn't refuse.
Although it is already early in the morning, it is not difficult to find a restaurant to have a bowl of soup.
Of course, Master Kou didn't plan to run too far, so he simply found a restaurant nearby.
After drinking the soup and staying until after two o'clock, we returned to the funeral home.
The funeral parlor is still so gloomy and dark, I really wonder if the boss chose to turn off most of the lights to save money.
When I turned the corner and was about to go upstairs,
I suddenly saw a squatting little girl in a corner, who looked no older than ten years old.
She hid at the base of the wall and silently looked at the stairs and us.
Mr. Kou looked at me and stopped. He also came over curiously and took a confused look: "Mr. Zhang, what are you looking at? There is nothing there."
"No, I saw it wrong." I ignored her and went upstairs with Mr. Kou.
However, on the first floor of the morgue, our brows moved in unison.
Because the morgue door is open...
The door was closed when we left, Master Kou closed it specially!
Mr. Kou's pupils were dilated: "No...it can't be me...my dad is alive...".
I pulled out the bronze horizontal sword and focused my eyes on the door for a while: "You will know it when you go in."
I walked over first and opened the door with a knife, and Master Kou quickly chased after me.
When you come in, you can see that the coffin is still sitting on the table, and there is no sign of the coffin lid being opened.
The military coat on the ground in front of the coffin was bulging, as if someone was hiding inside.
I stepped over and pointed the knife at him: "Come out!".
A strange laugh rang out from the military coat. The coat was taken off and piled on the ground, revealing a person.
This man was wearing an old gray monk's robe, and his hair was tied into a bun with wooden strips. He had few teeth in his mouth that were very yellow, and his cheeks were black and blue.
Master Kou looked at him and suddenly shouted in horror:
"Taoist priest! He is the Taoist priest who helped my dad exorcise evil spirits!"
"That Taoist priest who died twenty years ago!".
I was a little surprised: "A semi-immortal Taoist priest who has been dead for many years?".
