Kowloon pull coffin

Chapter 8

In the following time, the old white ghost wandered around the town at the foot of the mountain when he had nothing to do.

Our mountain is called Funiu Mountain. There are neither rare birds and animals nor historical sites in the mountain. There is no wild grass. The most famous one is a Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is called Huiji Temple, which was built in the late Qing Dynasty.It has been destroyed several times in the flames of war, and each time someone sponsored the reconstruction.There are not many Taoist priests in the temple, but all of them seem to have skills, so the incense of Huiji Temple has always been good.

Some people say that the Huiji Temple is affiliated with Zheng Yiwei Meng Dao, and the first generation of the temple owner is an expert who came out of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

However, this matter is mostly an exaggeration. Longhushan Tianshi Mansion is the holy place of Taoism in the world, and the Taoist priests who came out of it are not god-like figures.There are so many famous caves and blessed places in the world, how could they come to our remote place to establish a sect.

The Taoist priest who gave me the horoscope and vomited blood came from Huiji Temple. The old ghost Bai ran down the mountain these days when he had nothing to do to inquire about the news of the Taoist priest.

At noon seven days later, the weather suddenly changed.

Looking at Funiu Mountain in the distance, the dark clouds are overwhelming, and the thunder is faint in the clouds.

Not long after that, Old Bai Gui came back from the outside humming a ditty, and the first thing he said when he entered the door was to announce the death of a person, Chen Qiu was dead.

Chen Qiu was the Taoist priest's name. Bai Laogui said that he would definitely die after reading my fortune, but unexpectedly he actually died.

"Uncle Bai, how did he die?" I really want to know the cause of Chen Qiu's death, because his death makes me feel a heavy sense of guilt.

"The Taoism is not enough to forcibly spy on the secrets of the sky, and the sky will strike five thunders."

The five thunders and bangs in the sky can be regarded as the most miserable way of death, and it is also the most vicious curse.

Never would I have thought that Daoist Chen Qiu would suffer such bad luck just by doing the math for me, and I was so shocked that I couldn't say a word.

Bai Laogui said that Chen Qiu deserved to die that day, but he was a Taoist priest who kept the precepts and received the scriptures, so he had a seven-day time limit for redemption.

It's a pity that after all, it was because of insufficient morality and deeds that he failed to snatch a chance of life from the hands of God.

"Uncle Bai, is my horoscope really that evil?" I couldn't help asking.

"Your horoscope is not evil, it is your fate that is evil. There are some things you should not know for the time being. The sooner you know, the worse it will be for you. In short, you have to trust me, everything I do is for your own good, I am determined not to harm you."

I believe what he said, although I know he must have important things to hide from me, but he will not have the slightest malice towards me.Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life trying to save me from Huixiang's men, and if he had been half a step late that day, I would have died at Xie Guangcai's mouth.

In the following days, there is nothing to describe.

Huixiang didn't cause trouble anymore and completely disappeared, and Huijiguan didn't make a big fuss about Chen Qiu's death.

The white old ghost and I continued to row the broken boats in the Yellow River, fishing for corpses to make money.Regarding my marriage with Empress Huang He, Bai Laogui told me not to be impatient, saying that she is inconvenient now, and that she will come to me when she is convenient.

I thought to myself, why am I in a hurry, she is not in a hurry, but I will be happy to be single instead.Maybe she will forget about me after a long time, and then I can use the money I earn from salvaging the corpse to marry a living woman as my wife.

After a few months of such calm, I didn't cause any more trouble myself, but Bai Laogui himself got into a very troublesome matter.

At the beginning of July, a big man from other places came to look for Bai Laogui.

This person was not young at first glance, accompanied by seven or eight people, driving two Land Cruisers that dared to climb the embankment, and Zhao Gang, the village head of Bai Laogui's village, led the way.

"What's your name, brother?" After entering the courtyard, the big man walked up to the old ghost and asked.

"My surname is Bai, and I'm known as Old Ghost Bai."

"There are many strange people on the Yellow River since ancient times. Your village chief has told me a lot about Brother Bai. I would like to ask you to help retrieve a pair of bones."

"But in the local area?" Bai Laogui asked.

"Not far, Nine Dragons Cave."

Nine Dragon Cave is indeed not far away, thirty miles by water, and only a hundred miles by dry road.

But that place is evil. When Bai Laogui told me that corpses should not be fished up, he also told me that he should not go there.

This Nine Dragon Cave is the forbidden waters that he repeatedly warned me, the living should not enter, and those who trespass will die.

"Then I'm sorry, I can't go to the Nine Dragons Cave, and I don't care how much money I give you." When he heard that it was the Nine Dragons Cave, the old ghost bluntly said it to death, leaving no room for bargaining.

Seeing Old Ghost Bai open his mouth to refuse, Village Chief Zhao couldn't hold back on the spot. It was obvious that he had received benefits and guaranteed the ticket, otherwise he would not have brought him here himself.He smirked and smoothed things over and said, "Old Bai, Mr. Wang has a distinguished status. This time he came here specially to ask you for help. Don't talk so hard, money is not a problem."

"I'm going to go to you, what's the use of asking for lifeless money." Bai Laogui glared at Village Chief Zhao and directly turned back.

Now Village Chief Zhao's face became even more ugly, and he was so gloomy that he was about to drip.

As the old saying goes, troublemakers come out of poor mountains and bad waters.Most of the cadres who can become cadres in our place where the birds don't shit are beaten, and there are family influences behind them.

If Village Chief Zhao hadn't had an outburst because of the embarrassment of this big man today, I guess he would have pointed at Old Ghost Bai's nose and scolded his mother.

After being rejected by Bai Laogui, the honored guest looked as usual, standing in place as if nothing had happened, looking around the yard.

He didn't speak, but a sturdy man with a scarred face walked out of the accompanying people.

The man with the scar face walked up to the old ghost, didn't speak, just stared at him.

Everyone has an aura, and the aura of a man with a scar face is very oppressive, especially his fierce eyes, which seem to be killing people.

In contrast, the white old ghost, who was thin and wrapped in an old padded jacket, was immediately covered by his aura.The old white ghost was not masculine enough, so he was showing cowardice at the moment.

The body stared at by the scarred face trembled involuntarily, and I didn't even dare to breathe out when I stood by the side.Ghosts still know to be afraid of evil people, let alone us and good people.

After confronting like this for a while, seeing that Old Bai was about to lose his hold, he suddenly stomped his feet, turned around and ran into the house.

When he came out again, he was holding three black tablets in his hand.

I saw Bai Laogui holding up a memorial tablet, striding over the man with the scarred face and striding forward to the honored guest, and said loudly: "The Bai family began to search for corpses from my great-grandfather, this is his memorial tablet."

"This is my grandfather."

"This is my father."

"Their tablets are here, and their bodies are in the Nine Dragon Cave."

"As long as you can give me a reason to go to Jiulong Cave today, I, Bai Laogui, will go with you now!"

No one expected that the old ghost would suddenly come out holding the tablet of his ancestors, and no one spoke now.

A group of people came and went quickly.After they were all gone, I went to close the courtyard door, and when I went back to the house, I saw Bai Laogui throwing the ancestral tablet into the stove.

"Uncle Bai, what are you doing?" I asked in surprise.

"Shields can only be used once, why keep them?"

"But, these are all tablets of your ancestors, you do this..."

I'm a little bit speechless, because I've never seen anyone burn ancestral tablets, it's not just a big treason, it's just unbelievable.

"If you don't respect your ancestors, what's the use of respecting them!"

"..."

I am completely speechless.

I have never heard of unworthy descendants, but I have never heard of unworthy ancestors.

Seeing that he started talking nonsense, I didn't stay in the house, turned around and left the small courtyard, leaving him alone to calm down.

The Bai family has been collecting corpses for generations, and they don't usually have contact with the villagers. Naturally, no one knows the cause of their family's death.If it wasn't for the old white ghost who suddenly used the ancestral tablet as a shield today, even I would not know that they all died in the Nine Dragon Cave.

There is no doubt that the Bai family hides a sad and bizarre family story. What kind of taboos are there in the waters of the Nine Dragon Caves arouses my curiosity.

There are also many mysterious legends about the Jiulong Cave in our local area. The Jiulong Cave has not existed since ancient times, but was formed in the troubled times of China more than 100 years ago.

The original Jiulong Cave was just a mountain peak bypassed by the Yellow River, connected end to end with Funiu Mountain. When China was in trouble more than 100 years ago, the Yellow River encountered a rare flood.The water flooded both sides of the Yellow River, submerged countless towns and villages, and directly washed away the mountain.

During dinner that day, Bai Laogui took the initiative to tell me about the Nine Dragon Cave.

After listening to him, I realized that there is a shocking secret hidden behind the Nine Dragon Cave...
