Chapter 8 - Chapter Eight: Horrific Experience at the Funeral Home.

Seeing my appearance, Meng Changqing laughed twice, then walked into the Taoist temple with his hands behind his back. ......

I looked at the female ghost in white here for a while, and I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything, and finally I had no choice but to turn around and walk into the Taoist temple.

Just as I was about to step into the Taoist temple, the female ghost in white called me: "Wait a minute."

I looked back at her, and she said, "Did I embarrass you?"

I shook my head and said no, even though I was young at that time, I didn't want to lose face in front of girls, at least I had to make her think I was amazing.

She didn't dare to approach the Taoist temple, so she could only talk to me from a distance. Her voice was so low that I couldn't hear her clearly, but she was afraid that she was a ghost, so she didn't dare to approach her.

After struggling with my thoughts for a long time, I slowly walked to a position about five meters away from her and stopped, and asked her, "Why are you following us?"

She also seemed to be a little afraid of me, and said softly: "The living will be afraid of me when they see me, and the dead will bully me when they see me. You are the only person I have ever met who is willing to help me."

I said a word, it's very strange that she is such a beautiful girl, why would someone bully her, if it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it.

Only when I grew up did I know the word "beauty is too bad" since ancient times.

I'm from the countryside, and I haven't communicated with anyone much, but she is an extremely conservative girl, and she speaks cautiously. Naturally, we can't talk for long when we walk together.

But she still told me her name.

Her name is Li Yan, she is seventeen years old.

It was just a few simple conversations. During the period, Taoist priests came out to make inspections. She was very afraid of those Taoist priests, so she said goodbye to me in advance and left.

I stared blankly at her gradually disappearing figure, and it was only after she disappeared that I realized that I had forgotten to say that we should help together at night.

But now there is nowhere to find her, so I can only give up and go back to the Taoist temple, thinking that I can handle it by myself.

Besides, I don't believe that Meng Changqing would really let me go down the mountain alone, wouldn't that just push me into the fire pit? If so, it wouldn't be interesting for him to defend me like that before.

As soon as I walked into the room where Meng Changqing was, Meng Changqing took out a flashlight and a piece of paper with the address from the cabinet.

He handed these two things into my hand and said, "You go down the mountain now, before dawn it will be too late."

I stared at the two things in my hand for a while, not surprised so quickly, but looked at Meng Changqing and said intermittently: "Master, you really want me to go."

Meng Changqing said kindly: "Of course, you can also choose not to go, but if the female ghost is not protected by the Taoist temple, she will be captured by ghost messengers sooner or later!"

What he said was so serious, it really frightened me, no matter how short my experience was, I knew that the ghost messenger was something from the underworld, and if she fell into it, she might suffer even more bullying.

Thinking of this, I took the flashlight and the note with the address on it, and walked slowly outside the Taoist temple, hoping that he would call me back halfway through, or go with me.

But I was disappointed, until I reached the mountain gate, there was no sign of Meng Changqing.

Now in this situation, I have no choice but to bite the bullet.

I looked down at the wound on my finger, hoping that this method would still be useful in a while, the only two methods I know are boy urine and middle finger blood.

The way down the mountain is not bad, and after walking for about an hour, we entered the bustling neighborhood.

It is more than two o'clock in the morning, and only a few people and a few cars pass by occasionally on the street.

I kept looking for the address on the note on this street, and I stopped at a place called 'Yongle Funeral Parlor' at three o'clock in the morning.

The lobby of the funeral parlor was arranged as a mourning hall, which was divided into two halves by a paper wall.

The outer half is the place where the vigil is performed, and the inner half is where the coffin is.

The paper wall is covered with white paper flowers, and there is a picture of a middle-aged woman hanging in the middle. This picture looks very strange in the white smoke of sandalwood. The eyes in the picture seem to follow the smoke It seems to be floating and moving.

I stood at the entrance of the funeral parlor, took a look, and immediately backed out in fright. Originally, I often attended funerals in the countryside, but Meng Changqing said that the dead here would be hard to resent, and there would be changes, which made me dare not go in.

There were about a dozen people guarding the spirit in the mourning hall, and five of them were Taoist priests in Taoist uniforms.

I hesitated at the door, and they naturally noticed me. Among them, the family members of the deceased saw me and came up to me and asked what I did.

I looked at the people in the photo and thought that if I said something like resentment, they would definitely punish me, but for a while I couldn't find any reason to explain why I was standing at the door.

After thinking about it for a long time, I said, "Uncle, I got lost and saw that the lights here were still on, so I wanted to see if there was anyone there."

The family members of the deceased listened and let me in after thinking about it for a while, saying that there were fewer people guarding the spirit, so I would be more popular if I came in.

I couldn't wish for it. After entering, I sat aside and stared at the dark coffin behind the white paper wall.

I don't know if it's because of psychological effects, but looking at the coffin today, I always feel terrified.

In the past, attending funerals in the countryside was always lively and lively, but today it is so deserted. The environment makes people feel very gloomy and cold.

When it was almost four o'clock, the five Taoist priests stood up suddenly and said to the family of the deceased: "We are going to open the road, get ready."

There is also a saying in our country that we should open the road, which means to open the way to the underworld for the dead, so that we should not go to the wrong place.

The family members of the deceased got up and set up a square table in the middle of the mourning hall. After putting all kinds of strange things on it, they retreated to the side.

Afterwards, the Taoist priests held up the white paper flags in their hands and chanted, and at the same time made various movements.

Looking at the movements Meng Changqing made, in my eyes, their movements are particularly like monkey dancing, without the slightest sense of beauty, not decisive at all, and extremely feminine.

The last item on the road was to go around the coffin. These five people lined up inside the paper wall, murmured around the coffin, and knocked on the coffin from time to time. I was terrified to see them, for fear that they would destroy the coffin Something inside woke up.

Fortunately, after they finished knocking, the coffin did not move, even if they finished driving the road and sat with their backs against the white paper wall, nothing happened.

This made me wonder if Meng Changqing deliberately pushed me down the mountain today, trying to get rid of me, and made up some stories about resentment.

Just as he was thinking, the lights of the mourning hall went dark with a bang, and the mourning hall was suddenly dark.

At this time, the family members of the deceased immediately got up and said: "The switch has tripped, I will open it."

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the mourning hall in the dark with thud-thump-dump steps. At first, this step was normal, but after walking about ten steps, the mourning hall suddenly made a loud bang.

They didn't understand what the sound was, but I immediately thought it was the lid of the coffin being lifted.

Thinking of such a thing, I dare not make a sound, I can't see around at all, I'm afraid that if I make a sound, the dead person will follow the sound and find me.

The others were silent, probably not paying attention to the bang, but I was so nervous that I had the idea of running out several times.

In the end, it was really difficult. When I wanted to get up, the lights in the mourning hall suddenly turned on. I immediately looked at the coffin inside from a small door on the white paper wall.

The lid of the coffin was tightly closed, and I was relieved that it had not been lifted.

At this time, the family members of the deceased also came back from the outside, sat next to me, saw that I was sweating profusely, and asked me what was wrong.

I shook my head and said it was okay. When I shook my head, my eyes turned to the inside of the paper wall again, but this time I saw a black shoe toe protruding from the edge of the paper wall.

As soon as I saw it, the toe of the shoe disappeared in a flash and moved to the inside.

Someone is standing there.

I realized this problem right away, and was about to turn my head and tell the family of the deceased, but the lights in the mourning hall were turned off again with a snap.

At this time, the family members of the deceased got up again and said: "The switch tripped again, I will find something to get it stuck."

After he got up and left, I paid full attention to the movement around me, but this time there was no movement.

After about fifteen seconds, the lights here came on, and the family members of the deceased also came in from the outside.

I looked at the inside of the white paper wall again, and before I could finish my gaze, I noticed a change in the people around me.

All the people guarding the spirit around ran out in an instant, only the few Taoist priests with their backs facing the white paper wall didn't know what was going on.

I also saw that a swollen human face pierced through the white paper wall and hung its head on the altar, like a pig's head on the altar.

Now that it is hot, the head has already rotted, and the nose, ears, and mouth are all stuffed with white plugs. The dead people in the countryside will also use them to prevent the water from flowing out of corpses.

Seeing that everyone was running away, the five Taoist priests turned around to see what it was.

I thought to myself that Meng Changqing is a Taoist priest, and they are also Taoist priests. Even if they are not as good as Meng Changqing, there are at least five of them, so I thought they could solve this woman.

But to my surprise, they took a look and ran out of the mourning hall yelling.

So, only me and the dead man's head are left in this mourning hall.

It's not that I don't want to run at this time, but I'm too scared to run. I've seen ghosts before, but this is the first time I've seen such a terrifying environment and scene.

I swallowed my saliva and looked out of the door. Just as I was about to run away, the dead head suddenly opened his eyes, staring at me with pus-filled eyes, and the little bit of running away that I had just born was frightened away. up.

At this time, I had already forgotten all about what Meng Changqing told me. It was not important to stop the ghosts from making troubles, or to take the coffin boards. All I wanted was to save my life.

The head stared at me and kept twisting, the plug in her mouth also kept wriggling, and finally fell on the table where her chin was.

The stopper fell off, and a puddle of rotten water flowed out of her mouth immediately, and a suffocating stench spread over the face.

She seemed to want to say something, but what she spit out was not words, but disgusting corpse water.

But when I saw her wriggling there for a long time without breaking away from the paper wall, I thought she was stuck. I didn't know where the courage came from at the time, so I lifted up a stool next to her and walked towards her step by step, counting on He could crush her to death with a stool.

When she was two meters away from her, her eyes widened suddenly, her body suddenly leaned forward, and her whole body broke through the paper wall and rushed towards me.

At this critical moment, a money sword flew in from outside and pierced directly between her eyebrows. She landed on my feet with a thud, her mouth was just on the back of my feet, and my feet were immediately covered The corpse was wet with water.

However, the money sword didn't seem to have much effect on her. She got up immediately after landing. Her entire face was smashed just now, and the money sword between her eyebrows made her look extremely terrifying.

As soon as she came up, she opened her mouth wide and bit me, and I could feel my pupils dilated in fright.

But at this moment, a trace of fear flashed in her eyes, and my eyes also felt burning pain at the same moment, as if something inside was about to come out.

"You dare!" Before I could figure out what she was afraid of, Meng Changqing's powerful voice came from behind me.
