Looking at the gradually enlarging chisel in front of me, I thought to myself that it was definitely over this time, and even the gods could not save me.
But as soon as I thought about it, I found that the chisel in front of me suddenly stopped, only an inch away from my eyes, and cold sweat started to flow from my forehead.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I felt a burning pain on my forehead, and my whole body fell backwards. When I sat up and opened my eyes, I found that I was facing the main room, and in front of me , is Xie Buxin’s body sitting on the ground, with the chisel still in its hand!
I looked around hurriedly, and then I realized that I was not returning home with Xie Buxin at all, but in the hall of Xie Buxin's house. Xie Bugui and Zhang Hazi stood beside me, one on the left and one on the right, both looking at me as if they were idiots.
What's going on? Haven't we already returned to Xie Buxin's house? Why are we back to Xie Buxin's house again?
Zhang Hazi yelled angrily, "You are an ancestor in this house. We have been here waiting for someone to come and take over. When will we get old?"
I was shocked when I heard this and asked, "Didn't the village chief and others already bring people over?" I remember we waited for them to be buried and then walked back.
Zhang Hazi said, fart! Not a single ghost was seen, where would anyone come to help with the burial? It was Xie Bugui who brought these two coffins, and Xie Bugui put them into the coffins with his own hands.
Already put in the coffin? Then why is Xie Buxin's body sitting in front of me?
Zhang Hazi glanced at Xie Bugui and said angrily, "I can't see it, so you can ask him."
I didn't know why Zhang Hazi was inexplicably angry, so I had to look at Xie Bugui. The latter looked at Zhang Hazi and saw that he nodded, and then told me exactly what happened before.
It turned out that when Xie Bugui and Zhang Hazi were discussing how to stop the "rows and rows", I, who was sitting aside, suddenly stood up and walked into the main room for some reason. Xie Bugui hurriedly followed, and then suddenly realized that my eyes had been closed the whole time!
He originally wanted to wake me up, but no matter how much he fanned the flames on my shoulders, I couldn't open my eyes. I just kept standing in front of the coffins of Xie's grandfather and grandson, motionless.
During this period, Zhang Hazi also thought of some methods, such as calling the soul, but they were all useless. They knew something was going to happen, but they had no choice but to panic. And I, after standing in front of the coffin for a long time, turned around and entered Xie Buxin's house.
Xie Bugui was worried that something would happen to me, so he hurriedly followed me in. He saw me finding a toolbox in the house with ease, and then took out a chisel from it and held it in my hand.
They didn't know what I was going to do, but they were worried that I might hurt myself, so they kept an eye on me carefully. During this period, Xie Bugui tried to take the chisel off, but found that he was not as strong as me!
And after I took the chisel, I opened the lid of Xie Buxin's coffin, then stuffed the chisel into his hand, then took Xie Buxin out of the coffin and placed him in the center of the hall. , then he squeezed Xie Buxin’s hand holding the chisel and poked it towards my own eyes.
Fortunately, Zhang Hazi had the foresight to take out his sword and put it in front of the chisel. Then, with the force of the chisel's forward thrust, he slapped me on the forehead, waking me up from my daze.
Xie Buxin lost my support and fell forward. He was kicked away by Zhang Hazi. His upper body hit the coffin, and he sat down along the coffin, becoming the same posture I saw when I woke up.
After listening to Xie Bugui's narration, I imagined a person standing in front of two coffins with his eyes closed in this dark hall, still motionless, as if he was dead, and I immediately felt a numbness on my scalp. Itching, as if there were ants crawling on the scalp.
Fortunately, I was the one who got tricked. Otherwise, if I had seen Xie Bugui or Zhang Hazi like this, I think I would have been frightened to death on the spot.
But having said that, we can know from Xie Bugui’s description that the three of us have never left Xie Chuanji’s house. I saw the village chief leading people to bury Xie’s grandfather and grandson, and I lit a fire and boiled water in the kitchen to prepare Making beer duck and stuff like that are all my own imagination! ?
But this imagination is too real, right? It's completely like experiencing it firsthand.
Zhang Hazi said impatiently, "If it wasn't true enough, you might actually find a chisel and stuff it into the hands of this corpse, and then be stabbed to death by it?"
I understand the rationale, but it’s hard to accept it at the moment.
Xie Bugui added that it is not difficult to accept it. If you think about this issue from another angle, it will be easy to understand.
I quickly asked, what is the angle?
He explained: "Actually, they want to hook your soul at the beginning and let you experience everything with your soul. The last chisel sticks into the skull of your soul. Your soul thinks you are dead, and you are really dead." Damn it.
In that case, you will die silently, and we will be unable to save you even if we want to. But if you have soul-calming bells around your neck, they can't take away your soul, so it's you who is experiencing this personally. "
After listening to Xie Bugui's additional explanation, I immediately understood. Fortunately, I had the soul-calming bell that my grandfather left for me. Otherwise, I would have already confessed before Xie Bugui and Zhang Hazi could react.
Zhang Hazi added at this time, you are so stupid, why don't you die? Even if I only have one hour left, do you think I will go into the house and sleep without caring about you? You can't even see the big flaw, it's better to die and live forever!
I don’t know why, but when I heard what he said, I wasn’t sad at all. On the contrary, I was very happy. I know that he is worried about me, and at the same time he hates that iron cannot become steel.
Moreover, at this time, I finally understood why Zhang Hazi's face looked a little ugly since I woke up, and he was a little impatient with the questions I asked.
If before he was blind, even if there was no soul-suppressing bell, if my soul was really taken away by the Xie family's grandson, he would be able to detect it immediately, and then use the methods of the Zhang family's craftsman line to take away my soul. I'll save it.
Instead of like now, only by relying on the soul-suppressing bell to calm my soul and experiencing the illusion myself can I let him know that I have been tricked.
I know that he is not actually angry with me, but blaming himself. But in fact, there is no need for him to do this, because if it weren't for Zhang Hazi, my life, Luo Xiaoyang, would have been dead long ago.
I don't know how to comfort him, because he never cares about the achievements he has made in the past, he only cares about whether the things in front of him are watertight. There is no way, he is such a person who is extremely harsh on himself.
After Xie Bugui finished explaining to me, he asked me to help him put Xie Buxin's body back into the coffin.
I responded and was about to step forward to help, when I was stopped by Zhang Hazi. Not only that, he also told Xie Bugui that this body could not be buried.
After I saw the puzzled expression on Xie Bugui's face, I first looked at Xie Buxin's body carefully, and then asked Zhang Hazi if he could see anything wrong. The light dripping from the bottom of the coffin was still on. , why can’t I be coffind?
Zhang Hazi did not explain, but pointed to another coffin and said that his grandfather's body could not be buried, so he quickly moved the body out while there was no problem.
I also wanted to ask why, but Zhang Hazi said in a very firm tone: It's too late, just do as I say first!
I glanced at Xie Bugui and saw him sizing up Zhang Hazi. After confirming that Zhang Hazi was fine, he nodded to me and then asked me to go over and open the coffin with him.
We opened the lid of Xie Chuanji's coffin and placed it across the coffin to form an X shape with the coffin. This method is the least labor-intensive and most convenient.
When we were about to reach out to lift the body, under the dim and yellow kerosene lamp on the shrine, I saw Xie Chuanji's eyes that had been closed suddenly opened, and his eyes turned sideways to stare. It looked at me, with a weird and terrifying smile on its livid face!
When I looked at it, I saw its throat surging with my peripheral vision, and a hoarse and harsh voice suddenly came: This time, let me see where you can run! ?
