My master is the coffin

Chapter 40 Wu Tianzheng

The abbot reminded me with one sentence, and I sat down disappointed: "Yes, the old man with three beds is not a dead person, but a Taoist priest who can leave his body. The last time I saw him, he was in the hospital. He must not be from the cemetery. "

Mama Li looked outside anxiously, and couldn't help urging: "Why don't you go with me? It's getting late now, and if you get delayed along the way, you'll have to burn paper at night again."

The abbot pointed to me: "What are you afraid of, we have a master ghost hunter here."

I smiled wryly in my heart: "What kind of ghost hunter am I? I can't even draw the simplest ghost-suppressing charm."

Mama Li probably was really afraid of the cemetery, and said to the abbot and me, "Otherwise you will follow me. If I get there, what else can I think of?"

I thought about it: "That's fine."

So the four of us walked out, took the bus and walked outside.

I don't know why, but the road is very congested today.Li's mother looked out the window anxiously, but the bus just couldn't pass.

Li Xiaoxing told us that the cemetery is in the suburbs. According to the current speed, it must be dark by the time we arrive.

I touched the mahogany sword on my body.There are two in total, one is my own and the other is Master's daughter's.In terms of fineness, Master's daughter's mahogany sword is far better than mine.So I kept the sword, and handed my own to the abbot.

The abbot took the mahogany sword and asked worriedly, "Will it be dangerous?"

I shook my head: "I don't know, but be prepared."

The abbot nodded and did not speak again.

It was already dark when we finally arrived at the cemetery.There is no village in front of this place, no shops behind, and it is basically pitch black.

The abbot and I walked in with Li Xiaoxing's family.

To say this is a cemetery is an understatement.Basically a wasteland.There are weeds everywhere and the occasional two overgrown trees.The branches are stretched casually, like a woman with long hair who doesn't wash her hair.

The abbot walked behind me, and said with lingering fear: "Xu You, it's eerie here, and I always feel that someone is following me."

When he said that, I couldn't help but look back.It was dark in the back, only the lights of the city in the distance, as if there was nothing unusual.

So I comforted him and said, "Didn't my master give us some ghost-suppressing charms before? Did you keep them with you?"

The abbot nodded again and again: "I have, I have."

I nodded: "Just bring it with you. Those brats don't dare, what about us?"

The abbot finally felt relieved and agreed.

After 2 minutes, I could already see the rows of tombstones.Large and small tombs are not neatly arranged.There are still food offerings on some grave mounds.

Sometimes you really don't know how the abbot's brain grows, he actually pointed to one of the bowls of rice and asked me: "Xu You, is the ghost rice you ate back then like this?"

I get a headache just thinking about it.I waved my hand: "Can you spare me? Let's walk properly."

At this time, Mama Li said softly: "It's here."

Li Ma and Xiaoxing knelt down and began to burn papers one by one at the grave.The paper money was swallowed by the flames, and soon turned into a thin layer of paper ash, blown by a gust of cold wind, and drifted away with the wind.

After a few seconds, the abbot gently tugged at me: "Xu You, something is wrong, I really feel that there are people around."

I looked around twice, but there was no one. I looked at him suspiciously: "Abbot, are you overwhelmed? I didn't see anyone."

Just as I was talking about this, suddenly I felt a gust of wind blowing towards me in the back of my head.

I quickly shrank my neck and took a step forward.Then I heard an oops behind me.The abbot fell forward.

I didn't have time to turn around, so I pulled out the mahogany sword first, and stabbed it backwards indiscriminately.

After two pricks, I turned my head.

By the light of the tomb, I saw a hunchback standing behind me.

The hunchback was holding a stick in his hand, and was staring at the two of us covetously.

Abbot Duoduo Suosuo got up from the ground and asked me from a distance: "Xu You, is this a human or a ghost?"

I looked at the shadows swaying on the ground: "Don't be afraid, it's human."

When the abbot heard that it was a human being, he cursed loudly, and his fat body bumped into him: "Dare to attack me? I'll kill you..."

Li Xiaoxing and Li Ma, who were already stunned, came back to their senses at this time, and shouted: "Don't hit him, he is looking at the cemetery."

The abbot didn't care about that, he bumped into the hunchback and knocked him over.

Li's mother's paper didn't burn anymore, she ran over yelling and helped the hunchback up.

After all, I helped Mama Li, and she didn't want to get angry with the abbot, so she just kept saying, "Second uncle, how are you?"

The abbot and I didn't understand what was going on: "Second uncle?"

Li Xiaoxing explained to us from the side: "We are all from a nearby village, a big family. This land used to be our family's ancestral grave. Later, the city expanded, and we all moved to the city slowly, and this land changed. It became our cemetery. Although we are in the city, we usually bury people back when we die. The second uncle is old and inconvenient, but he is brave, so everyone pays him to watch the cemetery here .”

The abbot patted his back: "This stick is so cruel, it still hurts me now. Second uncle, why are you hitting me so hard?"

The second uncle hunched his back and cast his eyes upwards: "It seems that you two are not good people, and you are sneaking behind them. You two strong boys, if I don't attack you first, can I beat you?"

The abbot refused to let go: "Who is free to follow them to your cemetery, I am not a grave robber?"

While the two of them were talking, I suddenly turned around and found a tombstone. The tombstone was not very well made, very rough, but the big characters on it were very clear, and it said impressively: "Wu Tianzheng."

I couldn't help asking: "Shouldn't your family's surname be Li? Why is there someone surnamed Wu here?"

Li's mother said casually, "Maybe it's the daughter-in-law of some family."

I muttered in a low voice: "A woman named Wu Tianzheng. This is also quite strange."

Speaking of this, Li Ma was also a little confused, looked at the tombstone, and said, "Wu Tianzheng? I don't remember anyone named this at home."

Then she turned around and asked the hunchback: "Second uncle, who is this Wu Tianzheng? When was he buried here?"

The hunchback thought for a while: "According to this position, this Wu Tianzheng should have been buried here for more than ten years. At that time, I hadn't come here to see the cemetery. Let's take a look. He is next to the third child. He should be the same as me." A generation. However, there was no such person in my generation."

Suddenly there was an inexplicable excitement in my heart, and I had a premonition that there was something wrong with this tomb.

Reminiscent of what Li's mother said before, she burned paper here at night, and ended up dreaming of the old man with three beds at night.

I looked at the tombstone and said, "We have to dig up this grave."

When the hunchback heard this, he shook his head like a rattle: "No, no. How can you dig a grave? It's too wicked."

I looked at the hunchback seriously: "Master, there is something wrong with this grave."

The hunchback didn't believe it: "Is there a problem? What could be the problem? Everyone is dead, do you still care about the dead? Seeing how young you are, why are you so arrogant?"

I waved my hand: "Where are you going, let me ask you, after all these years, has anyone come here to visit the grave?"

The hunchback thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "It seems not."

I was overjoyed: "That's right. Abbot, do it."

The hunchback quickly stopped the two of us: "Even if he is extinct, you can't just dig other people's graves."

I pushed him away impatiently, and then said to him: "A while ago, Li Xiaoxing's family was haunted by ghosts and nearly killed them. You still won't let me dig? It's your turn next."

The hunchback looked at Li Ma with flickering eyes.Mama Li nodded.

The hunchback sighed: "Hey, I have a shovel in my room."

The abbot and I followed the hunchback and brought the shovel from the house.Along the way, the hunchback sighed, saying that he was obviously looking at the cemetery, but now he was helping others to dig graves, and he really had no face to take the money.

The abbot and I walked excitedly with the shovel on our shoulders, ignored his nagging at all, and quickly left him behind.

Li Ma and Li Xiaoxing were waiting for us at Wu Tianzheng's grave.Seeing the two of us approaching with shovels on our shoulders, he asked hesitantly, "Xu You, you must have made a mistake. If this person surnamed Wu is from our family, this will offend our ancestors."

I waved my hand: "It's definitely true. We are also responsible for your family by doing this, right? If you make a mistake, I will bury it for you again, burn more paper, and explain."

Li Ma looked behind us: "Where is the second uncle?"

The abbot and I have already dug it up one by one: "He is behind, walking too slowly, we didn't wait for him."

While digging, the abbot said out of breath, "Xu You, since I met you, this is the third time I have dug someone to death. This is not a good omen."

I was too tired and out of breath: "Work more and talk less."

But the abbot talked a lot tonight.He dug for a while and then asked me: "Xu You, is this considered tomb robbery?"

I straightened my waist: "What kind of tomb robbery? What kind of treasures can there be? Tomb robbery?"

Just after saying this, the shovel slammed and hit something.

The abbot and I dug tentatively and found it was a stone box.The box was boxy and about the size of an urn.

The abbot and I blinked, looked at Li Ma and Li Xiaoxing and said, "It's not right. Don't you like burials here? Why do you still have urns?"

Li's mother said: "In recent years, cremation has gradually begun. In the past few years, it was indeed buried. This urn is indeed a bit strange."

We put the urn aside and dug down two shovels.At this time, the soil below became very hard.It should never have moved.
