The last Onmyoji

Chapter 29 Escape

"Do you still remember what that big dancer in the village said when your grandpa started making trouble? He said that your grandpa fought and killed too many people in his lifetime, and that the little devil took his life after he got to the underworld. In fact, this sentence is bullshit, it should be On the contrary, your grandpa is precisely because he was a soldier before he was alive, and he has the strong aura unique to soldiers, and because he has killed people, he has evil aura on him. Said, the reason why your grandfather has not changed like your third grandfather is because he served in the army, and his soul has not changed." The second uncle said.

"But I still don't understand what you mean." I yawned.

"Your grandfather, he is not a fraudulent corpse. The person who picked up the corpse will not have intelligence. It is a walking corpse that will hurt people. Maybe you can understand that your third grandfather after death is no longer the third grandfather in life, but Your grandfather, or your grandfather, he came to you because he wanted to tell you something!"

"If there is no accident, he will come back tomorrow on June or Seventh. You can try to communicate with him." Second Uncle said to me quietly.

His words gave me goosebumps all over my body.

"Are you kidding me?" I asked.

He handed me a copper coin with all patterns worn off and said: "Don't be afraid, if your grandpa harms you, you will be gone by now. Take this copper coin and I will come if something happens."

I played with the copper coin in my hand, and looked at the figure of my second uncle walking out. I don't know if it was because of a sleep or something else. I clearly felt that everything seemed wrong. , seems to be a little bit older, and it is obvious that you can tell me again tomorrow, how can you not be so secretive in the middle of the night.

But with this copper coin, I can’t tell the difference between the movie novels I’ve seen and the reality now, but at least this thing similar to the copper coins commonly used by Taoist priests in film and television works gave me a strong sense of security. Lin Xiaofan is also a person who holds a heavy weapon to ward off evil spirits!
After waking up the next day, I looked at my second uncle again. He still looked normal, as if he wasn’t the one who looked for me last night. After breakfast, my father consulted with me and went to surround the ancestral hall. , it used to be an important place in our village, but now it has almost become a taboo place. Of course, this is also because no one manages it after the third grandfather passed away. Now people are more and more indifferent to this aspect.If the third grandfather was still alive, who would dare to make such a fuss?Thinking of this, I can't help but miss the third grandpa, and miss their magnanimity and fearlessness of the older generation, who dared to go to the ancestral grave to guard the spirit when they knew that my grandfather had cheated on the corpse.

You have no shame in your heart, why are you afraid of ghosts and gods?
I still can't go to the hospital today, because today is my grandfather's June [-]th, and I need to go to the cemetery to pay homage. Like Xu Lin, some people even asked me if Xu Lin took me as a disciple because he saw that my bones were so strange.Of course, some of them asked me about the ancestral hall, so I remembered that today I promised my father to go and surround the ancestral hall. I will definitely not tell the villagers the real situation there, and just tell them that everything is fine, Lin The thing about Er Dan was just a coincidence, and the third grandpa wished it for him.

After all this was settled, my father and my uncle and I set off in the afternoon to build up the new gate that was knocked down under the command of Xu Lin with bricks. Looking at the closed gate of the ancestral hall, it opened in the daytime. I can't believe that a very powerful ghost was trapped inside with mahogany branches.

There is one thing I can't figure out. It stands to reason that in our ancestral hall, there are ancestors of our Lin family. If there are ghosts in this world, they exist equally at the same time. It is impossible to say that I will become a ghost after I die. It's so simple that you rot after you die, so many ancestors of our Lin family can't deal with a woman in red clothes?
After doing all this, the sky will be dark, and the days will pass so quickly. For the night, I am really looking forward to and afraid. People who say that my own grandpa doesn’t need to be afraid are all standing up and talking No back pain, it is human nature to be afraid of corpses and death.

After dinner in the evening, my second uncle sneaked into my room again, took a handful of rice and sprinkled it under my bed, and said to me: "I will be under your bed at night, no matter what happens, you will do not be afraid."

I said: "It's good that you said so earlier, I was scared all day. But what's the matter with you throwing a handful of rice?"

He smiled at me and said: "Isolate the yang energy, if not, your grandfather would not dare to leave even if he knew there were two people in the room."

No matter what you say, with the second uncle under my bed, my confidence has really increased a lot, at least I am not so afraid. After ten o'clock, the second uncle really appeared in my room and slipped into my bed. Under the bed, I chatted with him, but he didn't agree to me, he just said that if grandpa really came later, keep quiet.

I said, and then the two old men were in the same room, one was relatively speechless, and I was not nervous with my second uncle, and I was able to fall asleep in such an environment, but after I fell asleep, I did it a dream.

This dream was very strange. In the dreamland, it was a fog and chaos. I couldn't see anything clearly, and there was no one. I was left alone in the white mist.This kind of feeling makes people very helpless, there is no one around, and I am the only one left.

"Where is this?" I yelled around, but no one answered me at all.

Suddenly, it started to rain heavily, and the rain was all blood red. The rain dispersed the mist, and I found that I was standing on top of a cloud, and under the cloud was Linjiazhuang.At this time, Linjiazhuang is in ruins, the whole area is full of dead people, devastated, and corpses are scattered everywhere. I am so anxious that I want to get down from the clouds to see them, but I can't get down at all.I can't even seem to control the movement of my own body.

This is a dream!It is definitely a dream, as long as you wake up, there will be nothing!I told myself this in my dream, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't wake up from this dream.

The ghost crushed the bed, I have had such an experience before, but in the previous ghost crush, I only saw an inexplicable human face, only second, but this time, what I saw was the disaster of the entire Lin Family Village.

Then, there is no more, this nightmare state will not last long, when I woke up because my second uncle kicked the coffin board with his feet under the bed.

"Shut up! Your grandpa is back!" Before I opened my eyes, I was glad that I finally woke up from that horrible state, but I was completely awake by his words!

I raised my head and looked outside the door. I don’t know when the door was opened. There was a man in a green shroud standing at the door. I couldn’t see his face under the moonlight, but I saw a man. Thin figure.Who else could it be if not my grandpa? !
My mouth is dry, and no matter how nice I said before, it has now turned into fear. I even want to pull my second uncle out from under the bed, but nothing seems to happen to this person, and there is no movement at all. .

"Grandpa..." I called out tremblingly.

The figure at the door seemed to have heard my voice, turned his head to look at me, and then walked towards me with strides.

I retreated step by step on the bed until I reached the wall and there was no way to retreat.

Grandpa's walking posture is not the zombie bouncing around that he saw on TV, but just walking as if he was alive, walking very calmly and calmly, without speaking, he went straight to my bed and lay down.

Immediately afterwards, he closed his eyes and lay down next to my bed as if he had fallen asleep.

As the distance got closer, I could see his face clearly. He was no longer a living person, and his entire face had turned gray-blue. I just didn't understand why his body didn't show any signs of decay after such a long time.Just had that sickly gray-teal color.

His body was already stiff, and one arm was raised stiffly in the air, gesticulating back and forth.

What is grandpa doing?I was so scared that I almost peed my pants.Where else can I use my brain to think?
"Grandpa?" I called again.He still didn't respond to me, but lay there like that, dancing regularly in the air with one hand.

"Second Uncle, come out!" I called out.But the second uncle seemed to have died under the bed, and there was no movement at all!

This also means let me ask grandpa what happened?This is simply cheating me!

I forcibly suppressed my own fear. Up to now, I can’t even tell what kind of state my grandpa is in, that is, he is my real grandpa. Spray it on his face!

wrong!

Grandpa's non-stop dancing arms are regular, and he is writing a word non-stop! !
Grandpa really came back to give me a message, but he is already dead, I don't know what kind of force made him come back, just to tell me a word.

I can't see his arm waving in the air, I can only write it on the bed with my hand on the wall along the track of his arm.

That turned out to be an escape word! !
Grandpa's corpse should repeat this action every time he comes back, he just conveyed a message to me, that is to escape.

I don't know why, when I saw my grandpa's stiff body lying on the bed, I suddenly felt less scary. This is just a grandpa who came back to let his grandson go.

I knelt down to him, kowtowed my head and said, "Grandpa, I understand, I will run away, you can rest assured."

After I finished saying this, Grandpa's arms that were still dancing actually stopped, and then he got up, walking slowly like he did when he came.The walk was very peaceful.
