Onmyoji's Secret

Chapter 6 Zhongxie
I widened my eyes, and with the help of the hazy moonlight, I saw the mask in my father's hand. It was exactly what my grandfather took out of the white coffin that day, and he said it was a treasure left to me by my ancestors.

It's just that grandpa has been keeping this thing for me, why did it get into my dad's hands?

"What is this?" My mother looked at the weird mask in front of her and asked in confusion.

My dad shook his head and said, "I don't know, so I want to find out. I always feel that this thing is very important!"

"Where did you get that?" my mother said.

My dad showed a sly smile, looked around and said in a low voice, "It was stolen from the old man's house."

"Okay, before the old man comes back, I'm leaving. During my absence, you have to protect the baby and be careful." My father told my mother, picked up a packed suitcase next to him and went Out of the yard.

When he left, he looked back at me, just looking at me who was peeping with my head up, I quickly shrank my neck, lay on the bed and pretended to be asleep, my dad smiled, turned and left without saying a word.

I quickly fell asleep again, and when I woke up, it was already the next morning.

My mother got me some food, and after I finished solving my stomach problem, I saw grandpa stepping into the yard with a tired face.He is the patriarch of the Chen family, so he had to deal with such a big incident last night, to appease the clansmen, and to take care of the injured.

It's just that when I grew up and recalled this incident, I was very puzzled by what my grandfather did. Since he could tell me in advance that the earth dragon would turn over, he should have known about it a long time ago, but he didn't inform the family. People take precautions, which is very unreasonable for a patriarch.

Unless, grandpa has other schemes?
Grandpa entered the house as soon as he came back, and soon there was a sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in his room. After a while, he came out with a gloomy expression, and said to my mother, "Where is Han Tao?"

My mother was startled, and said in a condescending way: "Han Tao said he went to Chengdu."

Grandpa's expression turned ugly instantly, and he asked sharply, "He took my things away?"

My mother lowered her head, a little afraid to look at grandpa.

"Damn it, what a white-eyed wolf you don't know well!" My grandfather slammed the door and walked out with a livid face.

……

Although the earthquake seemed to shake violently this time, the magnitude of the earthquake was actually not high, and the power it caused was not great. In the village, only a few families' earthen houses were destroyed by the earthquake, and more than ten people were injured. As for the death, none of them died. No.The earthquake this time brought a psychological fear to the people of Tsingyi Village who had never experienced such a disaster.

In the few days after the earthquake, the leaders of the county came to our small village to give condolences and guide the work. They were accompanied by several earthquake experts wearing glasses. According to them, the earthquake was less than magnitude [-]. There is no destructive power, it is only because the epicenter of the earthquake is in the back mountain of our village, so we feel so violent here.

But the villagers didn't follow the expert's advice. They stubbornly believed that the earthquake was the snake god's punishment for demolishing the temple.The villagers who were frightened and frightened found my grandfather and clamored to take back the back mountain, drive away the tea merchants, and rebuild the temple for the Snake Lord.

Those few days my grandfather was on fire, and scolded this group of villagers who came to him to argue with him. In the end, the matter was settled, but there was an undercurrent surging in Tsingyi Village.

Until a few days later, another extremely strange thing happened on the day Zhao Laowu married his daughter in the village. The figures of "they" appeared in front of me for the first time, and let me know what is hidden in this world. How bizarre.

I remember that day, I got up from the bed very early and walked to Zhao Laowu's house with Ermao from the neighbor's house. His daughter was getting married today, and according to the rules, there was a banquet in the village.

What we little kids look forward to the most is to pester the bride and groom who came to pick us up and make trouble for them, and then they will give us wedding candies. You must know that in those days, a fruit candy could make us children Happy for a long time.

We went early, so we stood eagerly at the door of Zhao Laowu's house and waited for the groom to come to pick up the bride.I don't know how long I waited, and finally there was a roar of cars from the direction of the village entrance.

Soon, a Santana with happy words on it and colorful stripes stopped in front of Zhao Laowu's house.Ermao and I were drooling and looking at this small car, our eyes were full of envy. In the 90s of the twentieth century, the last Santana that could be driven was a sign of rich people, but I later found out that this Santana was actually a car. The young man who came with the groom was a friend of the groom.

Two young men in suits and leather shoes got out of the car. The man in front of him with glasses and a big red flower pinned to his chest was probably the groom. I heard from my mother that the groom was from Chengdu. He worked in a certain unit in our county. rich.

Ermao and I hurried forward and shouted "Congratulations" one after another. The groom was so happy that he grinned and gave us a handful of white rabbit toffee from his suit pocket, which almost made my teeth fall out of laughter.

The relatives of the Zhao family hurriedly welcomed the groom and others in, leaving Ermao and me outside to share the spoils.After a while, we were about to go in and have a seat, but before we entered the courtyard, we heard noises coming from inside. The crying of women and the scolding of men shook the big tree at the door.

Ermao and I were very curious, so we quickly slipped in. As soon as we entered the door, we saw Zhao Lao Wu was swearing at his daughter, the bride Zhao Xiaoyan, with a blushing face and a thick neck. The groom stood beside him awkwardly, his face flushed red, There was also a circle of relatives of the Zhao family and villagers watching the excitement.

It was fun to watch!
I put a big white rabbit toffee in my mouth, pulled Ermao and squeezed into the crowd.

"You bastard, tell me again if you have the ability!"

As soon as we came here, we heard Zhao Laowu yelled loudly, almost made me laugh out loud, and there was laughter all around. Isn’t Zhao Laowu calling himself a dog if he scolds his daughter like this? Well.

"Just say it! I won't marry such a wimp like him. I have a man, and the man I want to marry is a god!" Zhao Xiaoyan replied to her father, squinting at the groom standing next to her, with Full of disdain.

There was an uproar all around, this daughter of the Zhao family must be crazy, she actually said such absurd words in broad daylight.

Zhao Lao Wu was trembling with anger, but before he could speak, the groom at the side quit, and he yelled, "Zhao Xiaoyan, what the hell is going on with you crazy woman? If the matchmaker hadn't kept saying hello, you thought I would Do you like me?! As a cadre in my unit, I have an income of 900 yuan a month, and I am also a first-class status in the county. If you say that I am a wimp, you don’t take care of yourself!"

"Brother Zong Han, don't do this." The young man who came with the groom hastily stepped forward to persuade him.

Zhao Lao Wu was also dumbfounded. He had tried his best to let his daughter climb the high branch of the groom. Seeing the groom was angry, he hurried to persuade his son-in-law.

"Huh, Wang Zonghan, you have shit on your head, no matter how rich you are, you are still an ordinary person, an ordinary man!" Zhao Xiaoyan rolled her eyes at the groom, and then said to herself in a nympho: "I, Zhao Xiaoyan, is going to marry The fairy on the mountain, he is so handsome, gentle and kind to me, he can turn stones into gold, and live forever. We are the matchmaker made by Fairy Hu, and I really love him!"

Zhao Xiaoyan raised her left hand while talking, picked up her wedding dress, pointed to her wrist and said, "Look, this is the treasure my man gave me. He said that as long as I wear it, I will be able to look good forever and be free from all diseases." pregnancy."

The people around were all dumbfounded. Zhao Xiaoyan was wearing a treasure on her left wrist. It was clearly a green snake ring. The snake ring is a poisonous bamboo leaf green, with emerald green scales, and a pair of small eyes looking at everyone coldly, which made me shiver in fright.

"My man said that he wants to marry me and live forever with me! Hehehe!" Zhao Xiaoyan let out a piercing laugh, and she gently stroked the bamboo leaf green on her hand, with an obsessed look on her face.

Zhao Xiaoyan's mother cried out in fright, and the people around her hurriedly backed away, fearing that the bamboo leaf green would jump out and bite her.

Zhao Laowu's face was livid, and he tremblingly said: "Crazy, this woman is crazy!"

"In my opinion, my sister-in-law is not crazy, she is bewitched and entangled with something!" The young man who came with the groom stood up and said.

"Xu Wenze, do you mean that Zhao Xiaoyan was possessed by a ghost?" The groom Wang Zonghan also reacted, and hurried to speak.

The young man Xu Wenze rubbed his nose and said, "I don't know if it's haunted by ghosts, but there must be something wrong. My sister-in-law was not like this before."

Zhao Xiaoyan's mother heard Xu Wenze's words and begged quickly: "Then what should I do, young man, please save my young daughter! I will give you whatever you want."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xu Wenze hurriedly said: "Auntie, don't say that, I think it's better to find a gentleman. I remember that a Taoist real person came to the county recently. It is said that he came from Mount Emei, and his Taoism is profound." , why not invite him to try, maybe he can cure sister-in-law."

Zhao Laowu who was next to him listened for a long time, as if he suddenly understood something, his face changed drastically, and he cried, "I see, it must be the Snake King Temple that was demolished a few days ago! Li Dao Scar, a bastard!" The demolition of the temple made the snake god angry. It’s okay for him to die, but he also dragged down my family’s daughter. The end of the matter, ahhh!"

When I heard Zhao Lao Wu scolding my grandfather, I immediately became angry. I just wanted to stand up and argue a few words, but as soon as I left, someone grabbed my shoulder, which made me unable to move.I turned my head and saw that it was my mother. She shook her head at me.

At this moment, a clear voice came from outside the door:

"Zhao Lao Wu, are you scolding me?"
