the last priest

Around the Spring and Autumn Period, my hometown, that is, this small county in the northwest of Zhejiang Province, began to build a city. This place was also called Zhang, which was once the capital of Yue State, so there are a large number of noble tombs from the Spring and Autumn Period in this area.

Ah Fa's grandfather specially picked out this kind of aristocratic nest. The bronze wares in it were heavy and hard to handle or sell, so he specially picked out jade wares and the like.

One day, the old man went up the mountain to check a spot, found the bottom of the mountain stream, and saw a large group of bats flying into the cave.In the mountainous area, this is not surprising. What surprised him was that there were a lot of waste stones excavated by hand, piled up at the foot of the mountain and scattered all over the ground.

Looking at the posture, it doesn't look like a small project. With these things, it means that there must be ancient ruins nearby.The old man, who wanted to make more money for his descendants, finally set his sights on the cave where bats come and go all day after searching for more than a month.

Made a soft ladder out of rattan, the old guy just climbed down from it and entered the hole.The old man didn't have anything in his hands, and he only carried a few amulets handed down from above. Not long after entering the cave, he found that this was a huge tomb with a mountain as a coffin, and seniors had already visited it.

This place is located in the place where several great mountains meet, and the ridges and ridges of the mountains have no wheels or halos. According to geography, there is a dragon here, and it is a fierce dragon.

The old man went down countless times by himself, stepping on the bones of his predecessors and lighting a torch, and entered.But to his great disappointment, apart from two coffins with exquisite shapes and workmanship, there was not even a broken jar here.

At first, he thought this place was an empty nest, and had already had it done a few times, otherwise why would such a large project not even have half of the funeral objects.Look at the coffin, the top-quality golden nanmu, you know, this kind of wood is not available in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. In that period when thick burials were popular, a good-quality nanmu could change a small town.

Put on a mask, take out the shovel specially used to open the museum, and after successfully prying open an edge, use hemp rope to pass under the coffin board and tie a knot.There is a saying in the opening of the coffin of the dead that the living should not be allowed to touch the dead, so as to prevent the dead body from touching the yang energy and causing the dead body to rise.The hemp rope in the middle is to prevent the corpse from jumping up and act as a barrier. It is said that the fraudulent corpse will not bend down, but will only stand up straight.

The old man was very excited, because the coffin was well preserved, which meant that no one had touched it. Generally, the most valuable things in the whole nest are here.In the past, when farmers robbed graves, they often hacked at the coffin with an axe, and then dragged out the corpse to strip it naked.But he is more refined in this line of work, and he is so particular about which side to touch first.

Pry open the coffin board to see, with the help of a torch, I saw a woman inside, why do you say it is a woman?Because the corpse didn't rot at all, except for a little pale face, it was the same as just falling asleep, and it could be seen at a glance that it was a woman.

The old man thinks that he has laid a lot of nests. He has seen a lot of dead bodies in different ages. It is not uncommon, but he has never seen such a clean face like his own little daughter-in-law. Not even a corpse spot.But his desire for wealth made him forget his fear, because the coffin was full of gold, silver and jewels, just a few of them would be enough for his descendants for many generations.

Just as he was about to dig it out, he inadvertently glanced at the female corpse again, and muttered unconsciously: "Why does this person look so familiar?"

After saying this, his hands stopped immediately.why?When he moved his eyes from the jewelry to the face of the female corpse again, his calves began to tremble violently in an instant, and the cold sweat swished down his back.

He knew that this was an impossible thing, it was too outrageous.Because the person sleeping in the coffin was none other than the wife who gave birth to a son for him, that is, Ah Fa's grandmother!

After all, the old man still knows a little bit, but he rarely uses it on weekdays and listens to it a lot, but it just doesn't come in handy at critical times.He knew what might have happened to him, so the hand that was stretched into the coffin was trembling and pulled back, and his body had already turned sideways, ready to turn around and run away at any time.

Before the hand could be completely withdrawn, he felt a pain in his wrist, and an ugly white hand tightly clasped him.The old man said that he was usually quite courageous, but when this happened, he panicked.

After screaming wildly, he wanted to break free, but no matter how hard he tried with the remaining hand, he couldn't break the slender fingers apart from touching the cold skin.

The old man was anxious, remembering that he still had some things passed down by his father, he tore off all the amulets and threw them into the coffin, then closed his eyes and shouted: "Master Patriarch, save me!"

Maybe it was because those amulets were really useful, or maybe it was really his patriarch who had appeared, and the hand was slightly loosened, and the old man quickly pulled it back and ran away.Before leaving, he saw that the female corpse's eyes had been opened, and the faint resentment in it was still remembered until he died.It was also from then on that the old man had to light a lamp when he slept at night. In that era of scarce resources, the biggest expense of their family was to buy kerosene.

After returning home, the old man found that his mother-in-law had disappeared, and only a young son was standing at the door crying with a broken bowl in his hand. The rice in the pot had been rotten for several days, and he left home to dig out the nest and left About a week, that is to say, my wife has been gone for at least three days.

Many people were mobilized and many places were searched, but no one knew where Ah Fa's grandmother had gone. Some old people in the village said that she ran away with a passing businessman, and some said that she was abducted by human traffickers.In short, Ah Fa's grandfather began to fail after a setback, and there was a purple pinch mark on his arm. When he died, the mark did not completely disappear. Maybe only he knew the real whereabouts of Ah Fa's grandma, and he I never went out to look for half a step.

Ah Fa's father, my father and the others called him Master Rabbit when he was young, because this man was good at hunting, and the most prey was hares.This rabbit master later married a woman from the neighboring province and gave birth to Ah Fa, but Ah Fa has been crippled since he was a child.

Master Rabbit knew the approximate whereabouts of his mother. The old man told his son what happened in that cave. With his ability, he didn't have the ability to enter the cave again.Taoism is something that is passed on from generation to generation, and the basic knowledge is not difficult to learn. Those who can become talented rely on their own understanding.

Originally, their lineage is a wild way, and those spells and talismans are also passed down by word of mouth, so there are bound to be mistakes.Rabbit’s father hadn’t had time to pass on the coefficients, and the Cultural Revolution had just begun, and all the ancestral things hidden in the family were all taken away in one pot, plus the stock that the old man had digged out of the nest before was confiscated, and he almost brought one Capitalist enjoyment pie hat.So far, this vein has been cut off in sevens and eighties, and only a little fur is passed to Master Rabbit through his mouth.

Master Rabbit is very courageous, ever since he knew there was a nest there, and his wife might be in it, because he couldn't eat and sleep and couldn't sleep at night, so he wanted to go there all day long.When the old man was not dead, he could still restrain him, but once he returned to Xitu's son, he couldn't bear it anymore.Finally, after holding back for a long time, I touched the cave alone.

He didn't look like his father in his hand, and he had amulets in his hands, those things were gone.Alone, single-handedly, carrying a machete, a shotgun, and a stack of talismans drawn by myself that I don't know if it works or not. In the pretense of looking for my old lady, I just want to dig a nest.

How about saying that like father, like son, the purpose of these two people entering the cave is the same, and the things they encounter are also the same.

Master Rabbit really saw the coffin that the old man described in that hole. The coffin board was still open. When the old man opened it, he was so scared that he peed on his ass, and he didn't close it. This is convenient for Master Rabbit.

Master Rabbit is a novice in the business of digging nests. For the sake of their family's incense, the old man ordered Master Rabbit not to do that kind of business in the future. I don't think the craftsmanship can be passed down through the mother's womb. Master Rabbit is self-taught. .

This guy is not as fastidious as his father, he just went up with a black shotgun, thinking, if you can jump up, even if your mother is in it, I will shoot you too.The times have changed. The elderly ** have said that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Today's Rabbit Lord is not the old man who went up the mountain empty-handed. We have real guys in our hands.

According to my dad, Master Rabbit later had a habit of urinating his pants when he saw a woman wearing floral blue cloth. This habit only started after that time he entered the hole.
