My master is invincible

Chapter 344 Nine Coffins (67)

Soon, the four of us walked to the entrance of the village, and the disgusting cries gradually disappeared. On the contrary, Lu Yaodong's cries became louder and louder, which made me frown. There is no need to cry on the road.

So, while walking forward, I stopped Lu Yaodong from crying.

He glanced at me, nodded, and asked me, "When will you start kneeling for three steps and prostrating for nine steps?"

"The village is the home, and the entrance of the village is the gate. From the entrance of the village, there is a ceremony of three steps, one kneeling, and nine steps, one prostration."

As I said that, I glanced at the distance between the entrance of the village and the coffin of the old hero. It was about 70 meters away, so I asked Lu Yaodong to put a pair of candles on the east side and light them. I lit three pillars of incense next to the candles and burned some yellow Paper, and read some scriptures.

After doing all of this, I will walk in the front, then Lu Yaodong will kneel down after taking three steps, kowtow once, and after taking nine steps, he will be completely prostrate on the ground.As there was a lot of snow on the road, and Lu Yaodong was barefoot and probably walked less than 100 meters, he couldn't stand it and complained to the sky.

I can't say anything about it, I can only let him grit his teeth and persist until the "Zhaode Temple". I don't know if my words have played a role, or what happened. Lu Yaodong, who was shivering from the cold, turned out to be alive , Let us walk a lot faster.

However, despite this, we walked for nearly an hour at a distance of 400 meters.On the way, Lu Yaodong's whole body was wet because of the three steps, one kneeling, and nine steps, one prostration. His bare feet were even purple from the cold, and even his lips were a little black.

This made Fatty Guo and I feel unbearable. We asked him to rest several times, but he refused, saying that he suffered a little bit, so that the old hero could live well in the underworld, and it was worth it.

Walking, walking, a temple appeared in front of our eyes. I raised my eyes to look at the surrounding environment. The temple was surrounded by mountains, cliffs, winding and undulating, and a basin was formed in the middle.

The temple was built right in the center of the basin. A gravel road led from the gate of the temple to the rugged mountain road. The road was not very narrow, but it was definitely not wide, just enough for two people to pass side by side.

Where we are now is about 70 meters away from the temple gate.

What surprised me was that most of the roads along the way were flat, but what appeared in front of us was a gravel road.

Of course, the strange thing is not the gravel road, but the road covered with reeds, forming a reed marsh, which separates us from the 'Zhaode Temple'.

This puzzled me a lot. We must know that reeds are usually born in places with water, but there are mountains and mountains in front of us, so there is such a patch of reeds.

"Brother Jiu, Hebei belongs to the north, and the north is mostly plains, why are there so many mountains and reeds?" Stammer stopped, stood beside me, and asked suspiciously.

"Yes! We walked less than 500 meters just now, why is the environment so different?" Fatty Guo muttered.

Hearing what they said, I also became puzzled in my heart. What they said was not unreasonable. If there is such a situation in Hengyang, we still need to explain it.After all, Hengyang belongs to the temperate monsoon climate. Due to the terrain, there will be a lot of water in many places, and it is not surprising that a patch of reeds will grow.

However, Hebei has a temperate continental climate, and Hebei is also a plain area. It is absolutely impossible to grow a reed marsh without a certain climate environment.

Immediately, I glanced at Lu Yaodong suspiciously, and said, "Boss Lu, why are there so many reeds near the 'Zhaode Temple'?"

He froze for a moment, shuddered, and said: "I heard from my ancestors that this place is close to the gate of the underworld, and there is a Yin River underground, which is conducive to the gathering of the dead, so the 'Zhaode Temple' was built here. As for the reed , it is said to be related to the underground Yin River."

Hearing this, I looked up and looked at both sides of the "Zhaoshen Temple", and saw that there were two mountains on both sides of the temple. At first glance, I thought it was nothing. The shape of the mountain is a bit like a bull's head and a horse's face, like two gatekeepers.

Ma De, careless, since the "Zhaode Temple" was built to allow the undead to stay for a short time, it must be built in a very yin place.

Immediately, I let the three of them rest for a while, and prepared to rush across the reeds in one breath, go straight to the "Zhaode Temple", and finish the "Zhaode" ceremony.

We rested for about four or five minutes, and I asked them if they were ready?They nodded and said no problem.

So, the four of us stepped into the reed marsh.

As soon as I entered the reed marsh, I felt that the air inside was extraordinarily cold. This kind of cold was not the kind of cold we usually encounter, but a biting cold, and I couldn't help shivering.

"Ninth brother, why is it so cold!" Fatty Guo said, pulling my arm.

I shook my head and said, "It's funeral, don't talk so much, spread your yellow paper."

Fatty Guo was so fierce by me, he didn't say a word, and leaned towards Stutter, seeing that he was really scared.

"Xiaojiu, this place is full of reeds. If you take three steps and kneel down, you don't need to worship after nine steps?" Lu Yaodong asked behind me.

I thought for a while and said: "According to the custom, since the ceremony has already started, it is necessary to use this ceremony to go to the 'Zhaode Temple', otherwise it will be regarded as unfilial. However, in the current situation, it is impossible to continue worshiping." , you take a step, kneel down!"

He nodded, said yes, and followed me.

Immediately afterwards, I took the lead and walked in the front. At the beginning, those reeds were not too high, and they were in the position of my armpits.Walking, walking, the reeds are getting higher and higher, and after walking less than 20 meters, those reeds have reached the forehead.

This greatly obstructed my vision. If I wanted to see the road ahead clearly, I had to sweep away the reeds in front of me.

Sweeping down with one hand, I found that the dried reeds couldn't be swept away. When I looked down, I couldn't help but get goose bumps on my body.

I saw that the stem of the reed was as thick as a child's arm, and each one was inserted obliquely in the gap between the stones like a giant tree. It was covered with grasshoppers, eating the stem of the reed.

Ma De, what the hell, I cursed secretly in my heart, and I didn't dare to be careless, so I took the kerosene lamp from Jie Ba's hand, burned some yellow paper, and said a lot of good things to the old hero, which is like borrowing a light from the old hero .

After finishing these things, I held the kerosene lamp, stared at the front with my eyes, and walked forward slowly at a slow pace.

The four of us moved forward slowly, surrounded by reeds, and when we were about to walk out of the reed marsh, we felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.

This feeling of oppression almost made me breathless. I was a little scared. I turned my head to look at Fatty Guo and the others, and found that their faces were a little blue and their limbs were shaking violently.
