Buried ghosts, ghost marriage contracts

The old man was very angry.

"Ah Si, is this how you talk to your grandfather?" Kou Lao said with a gloomy face and a little teasing.

Grandfather?

This really hit the guess that I dared not believe the most,

making me shocked and angry.

I raised the knife and shouted: "What did you say?"

"My grandfather died a long time ago!"

Kou Lao sneered: "You do know whether I am dead or not. To be precise, I am dead, but I am alive again now."

Seeing that I was frowning, he smiled and said: "You should know whether I am your grandfather or not."

"You will understand the feeling between us."

"There is no need for you to be so nervous when you see me. After all, I called you over. Shouldn't it be normal to see me?"

"I said, here is the truth of everything. Finding Kou Zhenghai means finding me."

At this moment, I hesitated, because this conjecture is really possible, that is, the old Kou in front of me is my grandfather,

The evil spirit that occupied the body of old Kou is my grandfather!

Only my grandfather and I know that my grandfather asked me to find old Kou, and no one else would know it.

But the man in front of me knows it.

His tone is also very strange, completely the tone of the elders teaching the younger.

Even the Three Flowers Heavenly Master is just a three-flower girl in his mouth.

Old Kou squinted and continued: "I am very pleased that you can listen to my instructions and come here to find Kou Zhenghai."

"But you are pointing a knife at me, which is very unfilial."

When I was distracted and confused,

Suddenly, the bronze horizontal knife shook violently and broke away from my hand, leaving a few afterimages in my mouth and fell to the ground.

Old Kou stepped forward and patted my shoulder: "You are still too young."

"You know that old ginger is always spicy, and you can't catch up with the salt I have eaten."

"But Ah Si, you are already very good. You are better than your two brothers. They can't escape the misfortune of the Zhang family, but you are different. You survived."

"You carry the Yin marriage contract. If you want to show its value, you must bear its weight."

"You are the last hope of the Zhang family."

I drove the stagnation out of my lungs and took a long breath.

Even if I don't want to believe it, the facts are here. Even if I don't want to admit that it is my grandfather in Kou Lao's body,

But everything he said is unknown to outsiders.

The people in Niuma Village may know about the death of my two brothers, but the Yin marriage contract is definitely only known to my family.

In fact, when I first met Kou Lao, I had that feeling in my heart, the kind of affinity every time I saw my grandfather, the feeling of fit between blood relatives,

There is no strangeness, as if they are relatives who have never met before, and it is easy to have a good impression when you meet for the first time.

I knew it, I guessed it when we met, but I just couldn't believe it.

Is the evil spirit that competed with Kou Lao for his body my grandfather?

I murmured softly: "What is going on?".

Grandpa sighed and patted my shoulder as if to comfort me: "I will tell you everything."

"First of all, it's my business, and it's also the cause of Kou Zhenghai's death."

"Maybe you think I harmed Kou Zhenghai and occupied Kou Zhenghai's body."

"In fact, Kou Zhenghai died more than 20 years ago. I helped him prolong his life for a purpose, which is now borrowing his body."

Grandpa's eyes swept over the blood on my body: "You have seen the statue, right?"

I nodded.

Grandpa: "The statue was given to Kou Zhenghai after I saved him more than 20 years ago, and I told him to burn three incense sticks every day and worship devoutly every day."

'Ah Si, you must first understand one thing. The soul and the body are compatible and connected. The soul cannot enter randomly, and ghosts and evil spirits cannot just find a corpse to get into. Otherwise, the world will be in chaos.'

"When a person dies, the body dies, and the soul cannot enter the dead body. Just like when I saved Kou Zhenghai more than 20 years ago, Kou Zhenghai's body was not dead yet, and I injected his wandering soul into his body to lock his life."

"The statue has my blood, and the material of the statue contains a bone of mine. Kou Zhenghai burns incense and kowtows to the statue every day to stabilize the soul that is forcibly restrained in his body."

"Kneeling and worshiping the statue is actually for Kou Zhenghai's good, otherwise he would have died long ago, but as he kneels and worships the statue day by day, his body will gradually be affected by the statue when he uses the statue to stabilize his soul, and the rejection will gradually decrease."

"You must know that the statue is me, which means that Kou Zhenghai's body has less rejection of my soul, which is why I can enter today."

I asked again

"Does Kou Lao's change of temperament have anything to do with you, Grandpa? Or is it you, Grandpa, who is trying to steal Kou Lao's body?" Grandpa said without hiding anything: "It has something to do with it. I am just testing the harmony between that body and my soul. After all, it has to be gradual and I have to give that body some time to adapt." After these words, many things suddenly became connected, and many doubts burst like bubbles, leaving only stars and splashes. I felt ridiculous and said, "I understand." "The half-immortal Taoist priest who found Mr. Kou and came to the Kou family to exorcise evil spirits many days ago actually took away Grandpa's soul. Otherwise, I would not have been able to see the existence of the soul on Kou Lao's body in the morgue." "And when the burial was done, the half-immortal Taoist priest returned the soul, allowing Grandpa to be successfully resurrected." "The real purpose of the half-immortal Taoist priest was not to help Kou Lao bury him, but to let you, Grandpa, borrow Kou Lao's body to return to the world." Talking about the half-immortal Taoist priest, Grandpa said meaningfully: "That Taoist priest has a certain talent but is too arrogant. He wanted to show off his power at the Zhang family's ancestral tomb, but he didn't even know when he died."

"Ridiculous... Ridiculous..."

"I saved him, he owes me a favor. I told him in a dream a few days ago that he came here to help me."

"He left the evil spirit at Kou's house so that I could not be disturbed when I was in contact with the body."

"Yellow chicken, black dog, green snake, and seven days of burial are all procedures to ensure that this body can return to life."

I suddenly interrupted and said: "That half-immortal Taoist priest is dead."

Grandpa was not surprised, and said calmly: "Well, he should die."

"He should die 20 years ago. I changed his fate, and now he has returned to his own fate."

"Everything has its own destiny and cause and effect. I saved him, so he has to repay my kindness. I extended Kou Zhenghai's life for more than 20 years. This is the cause, and his body belongs to me after his death. This is the result."

"Resurrection is a taboo, and the Taoist who performs this technique will naturally not survive."

Cause and effect? ​​I pondered this sentence in my heart. Grandpa's resurrection should be a happy thing, but I don't know why I can't be happy.

Maybe I'm not used to facing this grandfather with Kou's face, or maybe I still don't dare to accept it.

Grandpa stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the entire Kou family villa: "It's difficult to enter someone else's soul, and it's even more difficult for my soul to enter someone else's body."

"If I want to return to the world, I can only do this. It takes years of preparation and someone needs to sacrifice."

"But it can only stay for one night."

I raised my head and looked at my grandfather in astonishment: "One night?"

"Grandpa, what do you mean by what you said just now?"

There was no loneliness in my grandfather's eyes, but gentleness: "I am a residual soul, my soul is in another place."

"Otherwise, if it's my complete soul, the technique of resurrection will never succeed. There is no body in the world except my own body that can accommodate my soul. This is a taboo, and this is also a rule."

"The remnant soul can only survive for one night. After one night, the remnant soul will be scattered and this body will be buried again."

Unexpected, but reasonable, I can understand it.

If grandpa lives on in Kou Lao's body, it would be wrong.

"In fact, the half-immortal Taoist priest can tell me the truth. He wants to revive you, grandpa...".

Grandpa joked: "If he tells you, will you believe it? You are still doubting my truth as you are now."

"No need to say more before things are done."

"A Si, you are too suspicious."

Grandpa's eyes showed sadness: "Of course, this is also grandpa's fault. It's like I let you bear it when you were young."

"You shouldn't have experienced these at this age. You have survived dangers that ordinary people will never encounter in their lifetime again and again. You have done a good job."

"Grandpa knows all the sufferings you have experienced that you shouldn't have to bear."

"This time I will tell you everything I know, everything you want to know, to make up for the past eighteen years of teaching you."

I nodded. Grandpa only has one night tonight, and I also have a lot of things I want to ask,

The Yin marriage contract, the red evil box... Zhang family's ancestral tomb, etc.
