Kowloon pull coffin

Chapter 16
After the affairs of the Wang family were settled, the old ghost Bai said that he would go on a long journey and would not come back until before the next Yuan Festival.

I understand what he means, this old fox is going out to avoid the limelight.

After getting along for such a long time, I have long seen that Bai Laogui is not a simple person, and he is not just a corpse hunter who specializes in surgery.

It's just that this old man is very low-key, never shows any signs of leakage, and is still a good showman.

The first time I came to the door, I was fooled by him in all kinds of ways. Let's take Empress Huang He as an example. He knew of her existence and coaxed me into acting.

And that time with Scarface, Bai Laogui pretended to be the same as the third grandson, and even carried out the ancestral tablet.

It's true that life is like a drama, and it all depends on acting skills. It's a pity that he doesn't compete for the Oscar.

Following the wailing of the dragon corpse in the Nine Dragon Cave three days ago, the old ghost Bai couldn't hide it no matter how he tried to hide his clumsiness.There are too many secrets in him, the Taoist priest more than 100 years ago, the death of the King of the Yellow River, the things behind Kowloon... and my life experience.

Many secrets of the old white ghost, I suspect that Chen Guanzhu of Huiji Temple may not know all of them, so after the dragon corpse wailed, Chen Guanzhu sent someone to spread the word, inviting him to spend a few days in the mountains. shelter from the limelight.

"After I'm gone, don't stay with me anymore, go home first, and I'll come back to find you on the next Yuan Festival." Bai Laogui said to me.

I have no objection to this proposal. I was a corpse hunter to make money and marry a wife. Now there is no hope of marrying a wife, and there is no need for me to deal with dead bodies every day.

I haven't been home for a long time, not even my little nephew's full moon wine, for fear of bringing bad luck to my family.Ever since the rumors of Huixiang being haunted spread, everyone knew that I was the one who picked up her body, and they were afraid to avoid me.

When Bai Laogui left, he gave me all the cash in his family. I roughly estimated that there were hundreds of thousands. This moved me very much, but his next sentence made me burst into tears.

"Anyway, you don't have much time, so you can take this money home to honor the old man."

"Uncle Bai, it's inappropriate for you to curse me like this before I'm married?" I said speechlessly.

"I almost forgot if you didn't say you were married. The marriage between you and the Yellow River Empress has not been done yet. In fact, you can do it yourself now. The statue on the ancient altar of the Yellow River in Xiaba Village is still there. You hold the shark People shed tears to hire, and if they agree with each other, they can take them home to the bridal chamber that night."

"Can I really take her home?" I asked.

"Nonsense, marry a chicken as a chicken and marry a dog as a dog, do you still plan to let her live in the Yellow River for the rest of her life?"

"No, I mean that yin and yang are different, and I'm afraid I will make a yang taboo."

"Afraid of an egg, your ghost daughter-in-law's yin body will be permanent after taking the Merman's Tears, no doubt like ordinary people. You also understand the reason why ghosts smell fragrant when people eat. Also, she has to wear paper clothes. There is a family paper tied in the town. shop, the handwork is exquisite and the price is fair, you can order a few more at that time, take it home and burn it for her to wear."

"Uncle Bai, is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"It should be gone. I have been a bachelor all my life. How can I know so much? You two can figure it out by yourself."

After not going home for a long time, my mother made a table full of delicious food when I got home.There are my favorite glutinous glutinous rice meat, ground three delicacies, steamed mandarin fish, fried snails, dry fried river prawns, and my father even opened a bottle of ten-year-old wine.

In the past, I made my family worry because I was a fool. Now that I have returned so much money to my parents, they are really happy for me, and they are also surprised how I earn so much.I told them that it is useless for Bai Laogui to keep money for a lonely family, and he also sponsored me to start a family.

My brother and sister-in-law are also very happy. Most brothers in the countryside don’t get along with each other, but my brother and I are not like that.The relationship between our two brothers has always been very good. When I was in Guangzhou and couldn't eat, I always asked him to send me living expenses.

My sister-in-law is a kind-hearted woman who takes care of the family very well. She has never blush with my mother since she married into our family.The little nephew is fat and white, and his big eyes are very attractive.

Looking at this happy family, I was filled with emotion.Compared with the strange tales of gods and ghosts at Bai Laogui, this is real life.

Now I am still one step away from consummation, and I am just short of marrying Empress Huang He home. With her beauty, my parents will definitely feel proud.

But I don't know about this matter, and I dare not mention it to my parents.

"Lan'er, picking up corpses is not a serious business. Now that you have money, change your career quickly. I'll ask a matchmaker to marry you when you're ready. You don't look bad, so I don't believe that no girl likes you." My mother said .

"Look at what you said, that old ghost Bai came to Lan'er five times and five times, and he ran away when he got the money. Can the old ghost Bai agree?" My father said with a glare at me.

"What do you disagree with? Old Bai Gui is not an outsider. He is happier than anyone else that Lan'er can get married." My mother said.

When I heard something wrong, what does it mean that the old ghost Bai is not an outsider? Why have I never heard my mother say this.Even when he was young, he thought about adopting me as a godson, but it didn't work out afterwards.

"Mother, what does Old Bai Gui have to do with our family?" I asked.

When my mother heard me ask this question, she knew that she had slipped her tongue, and when she wanted to say something, she glanced at my father and stopped.When I saw the situation, it seemed that my parents must have something to hide from me.

If my parents don't tell me, I will ask my brother.So I pulled my brother up from the dinner table and went outside to light a cigarette for him.

"Brother, are parents hiding something from me?" I asked.

"Brother, don't ask me about this, I'm only one year older than you, and I don't know anything." My brother said hesitantly.

"Put it down, you've been at home all these years when I went to school and work, I don't believe you haven't heard anything about it." I pouted and said.

"I've heard something about it. It's related to your birth. My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to you, and you almost died when you were born." My brother said.

"Then how did you get involved with Bai Laogui?"

"I don't know, you can ask our father. You are so old now, they can't hide it from you forever."

That night, I stayed in my parents' room to my death.

"I said his father, Lan'er is already this old, so let's talk to him about some things." My mother couldn't help it, so she persuaded my father.

"Hey, Lan'er, it's not that your parents deliberately hid it from you. You're afraid that you'll think about it when you find out. For so many years, your parents have treated you like their own son..."

"Wait, dad, do you mean I'm not your own?" I interrupted my dad.

"People are biological, but your life is not the life of my Xie family descendants!"

My father's words made me dumbfounded. What kind of statement is this?
Then I thought of the words of Old Ghost Bai. After Chen Qiu died, I asked him if my horoscope was evil. He said at the time that my horoscope was not evil, but that it was my fate.

Next, my dad told me about my weird birth experience.

I was born on the first day of the first lunar month, and it was written in the old calendar that Nine Dragons will control the water.

In fact, apart from the omen of flood control in Nine Dragons on this day, there is another saying on Ziwei Doushu that was not written in the old almanac.

There is a saying in Taoism that the thief in the sky is also the thief god in the middle of the moon.

My mother gave birth to me with dystocia. When I was first born, my whole body was black and blue, I was not breathing or my heart was beating. Obviously I had already died in the womb, and my parents were devastated.

On our side, if a newborn baby dies, it cannot be buried in the ground, but sent to the Yellow River for water burial.Because babies have the most grievances, it is the most difficult to get rid of if they become baby spirits.

This water burial is actually sent to the river to feed the fish, and it is said that this can resolve the grievances of the infant spirit. This is how the legend of the Kappa came about.

At that time, my grandfather was still there, so he wrapped me in a torn coat and carried me to find Old Bai.Bai Laogui is a corpse hunter. At that time, the medical conditions in rural areas were poor, and many babies died prematurely. He also often accepted some water burial business.

My grandfather sent me to Bai Laogui's house to show his intentions, but after Bai Laogui took a look at me, he showed a strange expression on his face, and asked my grandfather a question: "This child can actually be saved. Would you like me to save him?"

"What? This child has been dead for a long time, can he be revived?" My grandfather asked in surprise.

"He was born lifeless, he was born as a dead person, but because of the horoscope of pure yang, he is still alive." Bai Laogui said.

Hearing what he said, my grandfather hurriedly said that you should save people quickly.

At this time, the old ghost said again: "It is possible to save the life, but the child's life is not yours after the rescue. You have to think clearly before I can cast spells to save people."

The old ghost Bai said that it would definitely not be able to save me on any other day, but today is the thief star, and he has a way to steal my life for me...
