Chapter 31: Black Clouds Over the City
A phrase of ancestral training brought the topic to my great-grandfather Guo Zhongyong, whom I was even less likely to have met, but in my opinion, my great-grandfather Guo Zhongyong wasn't all that great. After all, the history of geomancy everyone, such as Zhuge Kongming, after the Qimen Dunjia before and after the almost no comer Zhu Yuanzhang, they are completely under the emperor's art can retreat, and my great-grandfather just to this Gege repair a grave after almost all of the family was killed, leaving my grandfather so a fish out of water.
Can this be considered powerful?
Today my old man is considered to have a long talk to me, he also confessed that he does not know much about this matter, and my family's main task in the Locked Village is to maintain that group training, at all costs in the supreme view does not fall before the quicksand river does not dry up to ensure the safety of the Princess Tomb.
"Tonight on Mr. Zhai, how to save it?" I asked my old man said.
"It's very simple, just need a handful of hair from that old weasel, just wash the water and drink it. The other weasels naturally won't bother him anymore." My old dad said.
"Where is that old weasel spirit?" I asked.
"Didn't you understand what I said? Your grandfather guarded the tomb for it for eighty years, and it's buried with your grandfather." My old man said.
— "So my grandfather, have you been cremated or not?" I asked.
— "No." My old man said, looking at me.
I don't know why, but after I heard these words, I felt even more that the old dad in front of me was very strange. In order to preserve my grandfather's corpse, two corpses had appeared as substitutes, my second uncle, Zhao Bajie, had found a corpse that had rotted away to death, and put it into the coffin that had come out of the empty funeral in the first place to cope with Huang Lao, who had definitely gone to the crematorium to investigate, and the result of the investigation was that my grandfather had once brought a corpse to the crematorium to be cremated on that day. In order to make it all turn out to be seamless, there were two corpses that were utilized by no innocent.
Regardless of whose it was, I don't feel anything when my second uncle, Zhao Bajie, went to dig up a corpse, after all, he used to do the business of dumping children.
But my old man, he went to dig up a corpse, and it had to be a corpse that had just died, this was indeed a reversal of my perception.
I closed my eyes, and I had to think about what my old man had done in the early hours of the morning on the day he went to cremate my grandfather. –On the way to the crematorium with my grandfather's body in his tricycle, in order to get rid of my second uncle, he ditched the tricycle to carry the body on his back and walked on a small path, in a safe place, he looked for a grave that he might have squatted beforehand, opened up that grave, dragged out the body inside, and carried it on his back to the crematorium for cremation.
This process sounds simple, but it made me feel horrible as hell, not to mention how innocent the body was being cremated, just in the middle of the night digging up a grave by himself, how much guts did my old man have to have?
–And then, he went and buried my grandfather's remains, and after that, he even stole the old yellow skinned spirit and buried it with my grandfather, all of which was done by this man in front of me, who I usually consider very reticent, all by himself, not a large amount of work, but under the watchful eyes of so many people, how in the world did he manage to do it unnoticeably?
"Dad, you should have told me a long time ago, at least I could have helped you." I said to him, after feeling my old man's uncomplicatedness, and then heartbroken that he was silently enduring so many things by himself.
"Not as good as nine times, can talk about people without two or three, first I can't trust others, you are still young, there are many things I don't want you to know, moreover, the character of my own child I can't know? I'm also afraid that you will be cheated." My old dad said.
"Cheat me? How is that possible? Your son I'm also resourceful!" I said.
My old dad glared at me and said, "Come on you, not to mention the fact that you took it upon yourself to recruit Lin Bachan, let's just talk about Mr. Zhai this time, if I don't say yes to you you will definitely blame me, but if I say yes to you, what if Mr. Zhai is a setup for you?"
"You are too paranoid, he is injured like this, his life is almost gone, and still set a trap with me, besides, what do I have to cheat?" I said.
"What if he guessed that your grandfather was not cremated, but just buried with the yellow skinned spirit, and purposely played such a bitter trick just to know the address where your grandfather was buried, then when we arrived at the place, Huang Lao suddenly appeared to kill us both and dug a pit for us to be buried, and by the way, he killed the yellow skinned spirit to break the supreme view, and at the same time, he even got a map of your grandfather's back. Isn't it three birds with one stone?" My old man said.
After he said so, I really think it is possible, Mr. Zhai said to me what, are one-sided words, he said that the old man Huang went abroad then really went abroad? What if he said it on purpose to make me let my guard down?
"Then why don't we leave this matter alone?" I said.
"A great man, words without faith does not stand, you promised people, you have to do, even if this time we were pitched, but also to give you a lesson, in the future to do things before you have to use your head more, not that I'm skeptical, but I have to be skeptical, all the worst intentions to play well, then what is expected, so that you can not be afraid of a hundred battles, remember it? " My old man touched my head.
I nodded, didn't say anything, this lesson was indeed not bad, my father even risked the danger that we might be counted to let me know the seriousness of this matter, what else do I have to say?
I stayed at home for a while, this time I ate a lesson, knocked down a brick on the wall, put the flash drive into it, looked at it a few times and felt that I was not good enough to find it before calling it quits, the last time by the old man of the yellow assassination of that time, really scared me, this time time time is fast, turn around ten o'clock on the arrival of my old man looked for two raincoats, the two of us a person wearing a raincoat to carry a shovel to the head of the village.
At the entrance of the village, I saw Mr. Zhai with an umbrella. My father beckoned to him to follow over, Mr. Zhai himself is a high man, but now it seems to be commanded by my father, I did not say anything, after my father's reminder, I now look at this Mr. Zhai is more and more look less and less like a good person.
"Mr. Guo, why did you pick a stormy night to do this?" Mr. Zhai asked on the way.
"You yourself are a person outside the party, would you still not understand this? Tonight we are going to ask something out of this old yellow skinned man's body, in normal times who of us would be its opponent? And even if it is cultivated into a spirit, it is still a demonic spirit, under the rolling thunder of the sky, the more the Taoism of the demonic spirit is the more scrupulous, this reasoning you do not understand?" My old dad said.
"I've been taught, just do you have a definite way to save me?" I asked.
"There is, my dad said, let you use that old yellow skinned spirit body hair punch water to drink it will be fine." I said, the hair on the body of the old yellow skinned spirit, to be given to drink, I think about it for a moment I feel very disgusting, but Mr. Zhai just nodded his head and said, "Mr. Guo is indeed bold, and this is indeed the best way to save your life, save your life is not to say thank you, in the future there is what can be used, despite the command is."
My old man did not answer, a few of us in the storm, I know the road, in fact, the final destination from the lock village is not far, is really not far, but my old man may be in order to guard against Mr. Zhai, froze in the rain and wind around a number of large circles, and finally stopped at the location, surprisingly, is the backyard of the Supreme Court.
Here, almost my childhood nightmare, because it used to lose a lot of abandoned idols, we all know that the temple idols because of the huge reasons or psychological effects, most of the hideous face, especially the night fork and so on, one day I got lost in the lost here, looking at those idols huge head and eyes, scared the whole person of the things in the temple have a shadow, my grandfather in the life of the time and even When my grandfather was alive, he even joked that I must be the reincarnation of a demon or else I would be afraid of the idols.
When we arrived at this backyard, we turned off the flashlight, and among the lightning and thunder, the faces of those discarded idols, that a picture of the unruly look, not to mention the demons, it was me, I was scared to look at it.
"Don't make a sound. Don't turn on the lights either, wait and go back backwards, no matter what you feel, don't turn around." My old dad said.
Finished, he took a shovel and began to dig in a place, rainy days on the ground to dig a pit is very difficult, one is the ground is full of thin mud, two is dug a pit inside will quickly flow into a lot of water, I can not dry watch, walked over to help my old man over there to dig up.
Not long ago, dug out a big red coffin, and at this time, just dug out the coffin when the rain stopped, but the sound of thunder is even more, I raised my head, feel the whole day, as if to press down generally.
Truly black clouds were pressing down.
