the last priest

Light the red candle upside down, drip a few drops of candle oil and stand the candle on it, carefully move your hands away, for fear that the flame will be extinguished on the spot.Cha Wenbin's eyes kept staring at the corner of the wall, as if he was paying attention to the candle, but in fact he was looking at the shadow behind the candle.

I can't tell what kind of shadow it is, whether it is a person or a thing, but it seems a bit abrupt to appear in this place.Cha Wenbin turned his face back a little, and the black shadow disappeared immediately, and he continued to lower his head and turned out several stacks of paper money.

After counting the paper money, the man squatted half-squatting and muttered that he just passed by here by chance, came in to check it out, if there is any disturbance, please forgive me, burning some paper money is an apology.

There is a shadow, it is hard to say what it is, ordinary dirty things will not have a shadow, this is common sense.But Zha Wenbin saw it clearly, the thing was a semicircle, it dodged and dodged and then disappeared immediately, after several repeated trials, he was sure that the thing had been staring at him.

Helpless, he is an ordinary person, at least physically unable to teleport, facing the unknown danger with his back is the most terrifying.Before he could figure out the opponent's purpose, Cha Wenbin decided to stand still.

When the pile of paper money was burnt out, Cha Wenbin got up too. Seeing that the candle was still burning well, he decided to open the coffin first.

The small coffin is only one meter long, and the paint on the outside is also dark and big black lacquer. Coffins of this color are not very common. Most of the coffins are mainly dark red, and the black coffin gives people the first impression. That is: Sha!

The coffin was as high as a person from the ground, and Cha Wenbin could just touch the floor of the coffin by raising his hand. The two small ones were located on both sides, and the two large ones were in the middle. It suddenly occurred to his mind that this could be a family. kid.

Pressing the bottom of the coffin with his hand, Zha Wenbin tried to push it up, but unexpectedly, the head in the coffin was as lifeless as an iron camel, one hand remained motionless with force, and he took a breath and pushed his palms up at the same time.He is also from a rural background. When he was young, working in the fields was considered a good labor. His family built a house, and a fir tree weighing more than 300 kilograms could walk two miles without rest on his shoulders. He was not a weak scholar.

Zha Wenbin has been in contact with coffins a lot. A coffin weighs no more than two to three hundred catties. Adding the person and the funeral, it can weigh up to four hundred catties.For such a small coffin, the weight has to be reduced by half, so it won't be able to push it completely still.Cha Wenbin took a deep breath and tried again, but there was ruthless resistance from the palm of his hand, the coffin was too heavy.

As a last resort, he had no choice but to give up. When his hands left the coffin, he felt that the palms of his hands were sticky.At first, he didn't pay attention to it. When the faint fishy smell in the air began to irritate his nasal cavity, with the weak light of the candle, Cha Wenbin opened his palm and saw that the whole palm was blood red.

"It's not my own blood!" The first sentence that popped out of his mind was this, whose blood would it be if it wasn't his own?

The ground was clean. If the coffin really leaked, there should be traces on the ground.Cha Wenbin didn't know what the reason was, he pointed his hands at the wall and pressed down, when he took his hands away, a pair of blood-red palm prints were left on the wall.Looking at that palm, doubts arose in his heart again, the blood palm print was completely different in size from his own palm!

The pair of palm prints on the wall are completely different from his own in terms of the length of the fingers and the width of the palm. The palm prints on the wall are clearly the palms of a child, and the fingers are so immature that even the lines are very clear.Looking at my palm again, the previous blood red was indeed only concentrated in the palm of my hand. I lifted my palm to the tip of my nose and sniffed. The fishy smell was not strong, but very light.

There is no cut mark on the palm, which means that what I pressed just now is another person's palm print, so where is the owner of this palm print?Cha Wenbin's eyes once again focused on the coffin.

Seeing that the candle was burning very vigorously, Zha Wenbin couldn't bear it any longer. The palm print was pressed on his hand, but it was printed on his heart.

He took out the hand-made corpse rope from his arms and put it on the hemp rope hanging the coffin, and tied the two ends to form a ring. He first dropped it on the ring to test the weight, and it was very strong.Holding the ring with both hands, the body pulled upwards vigorously, and one hand rested on the coffin lid. With another effort, the foot stepped into the ring, and then kicked again, and the body jumped onto the coffin.

The cover of the coffin was very ordinary. Relying on his own experience, Cha Wenbin quickly found the two hidden buttons. After knocking off the hidden buttons lightly, he was going to use the claws used for corpses to open the tenons.Only then did he discover that although the coffin had hidden buckles, there was not a single wooden wedge as a tenon in the whole body, which meant that the coffin was not completely sealed!

The concealed button is outside the coffin, which is just a means to prevent theft, but the complete sealing of the coffin is nailed to death by wooden wedges. Will be rested in peace, which is contrary to the common sense of burial.

The development of the coffin is generally pushed from the head to the tail. The first one to open can see the face of the deceased. Most of this kind of opening is a normal coffin.For those coffins that feel problematic, experienced people will choose to push them from the rear to the front.It is said that people will suck in their last breath before they die. This breath will be carried into the coffin and will not be spit out. Therefore, when people die, their mouths are mostly open. The desire for life begins with breathing.

There is nothing wrong with the qi itself, but after a long period of fermentation in the corpse, the qi may be infected by the dead body.Taoists also call this breath breath of corpses. If the breath held in the abdomen of the corpse is ejected head-on during the process of moving the corpse, it is easy to catch the breath, so most Taoists will choose to open the coffin from the tail.

Because the coffin was a little tricky, Cha Wenbin took precautions first. He pried up a little on both sides of the coffin, used the Seven Star Sword to leave a gap through the cover, and then passed the corpse rope through the gap to wrap around the coffin. Tie a knot.In this way, if the main body in the coffin is really lifted up for a while, it will be stopped by the bundle of corpses first, and will not rush straight up.

After getting ready, he gently pushed the coffin lid. Unexpectedly, he did not receive much resistance at all, and he easily pushed open the gap with a palm.

He took out the torch from his pocket, and he planned to see what was going on here. He blew on the torch and it caught fire. Just when he was about to poke his head to look, the yellow candlelight at the edge of his sight disappeared instantly. , Turning around and looking, the candle in the southeast corner was extinguished just now.

Zha Wenbin actually didn't believe in ghost blowing lamps. Strictly speaking, the old Taoist priest Zuo Ci didn't belong to their Maoshan talisman school, and this thing was mainly popular in the hands of tomb robbers.And Cha Wenbin asked himself that he is a Taoist priest, exorcising evil spirits is his old profession, and his task is not to leave when encountering dirty things, but to surrender, because Taoism believes that any dirty things left in this world of living people are unacceptable. It should be, after death, you will go to the underworld, and it is wrong to be greedy for any reason.

The real Maoshan faction has a very murderous heart. As long as you see a lonely ghost wandering around, it will be like a hunter seeing a prey.However, Ling Zhengyang, the patriarch of Tianzhengdao, is a bit both good and evil. He not only worships the Patriarch Sanqing and Sanmao Zhenjun, but also often brings wine and meat to some mass graves to drink with those lonely ghosts. He is quite a quack.

However, since the ghost blowing lantern rule has been passed down for thousands of years, it makes sense, Cha Wenbin thought to himself, you really think I'm just passing by to take your baby, the Taoist master doesn't have time to talk to you about these bastards.Pressing on the Seven Star Sword with his right hand, he pulled it back violently, and the sword body trembled and made a "buzzing" sound.

He took out another candle from his arms, and after lighting it, he never put it in the southeast corner, but dripped candle oil on the cover of the coffin head, and stood it on the coffin.

Under the candlelight, the simple patterns on the seven-star sword flickered, giving people an indescribable feeling, and there was an evil spirit in a trace of coolness.The light of the candle was very weak. If it wasn’t for Cha Wenbin to use fire pockets to make up the fire a few times, it might have been extinguished. This made Cha Wenbin a little annoyed. Could it be that a few little ghosts were making trouble, so they simply took the Seven Star Sword and ruthlessly nailed it down on the coffin board.Sure enough, the candle seemed to have received oxygen immediately, and the flames burst into flames, and the flames shot up high in an instant.

Cha Wenbin thought to himself, you brat is indeed a bully and fears the hard, so I have no choice but to be polite with you, and I couldn't help but increase my strength all of a sudden, just hearing a "crash", the coffin cover was instantly opened in half.

Then by candlelight, Zha Wenbin looked down, there was no corpse in the coffin, not even a single remains.At a glance, the second half of the coffin is empty...
