Chapter 62 Another Secret
On such a night, the red lanterns at the entrance of the Chen Family's ancestral temple reflected a dim red light, shining on the group of paper people. Such a scene made me almost unsteadily stand. I looked back at Chen Dongfang, and he was also very nervously staring at the slowly moving paper man, paper horse sarcophagus. Even the blind monk who had always seemed to be playing in the world had a solemn look on his face.
My heart almost jumped out, and suddenly one hand grabbed my shoulder. When I turned around, it was Chen Dongfang. He nodded to me and said in a very low voice: "Don't move, don't make a sound."
He pinched my shoulder with his hand, and the force was just right. I felt like a skilled massage master pinched me. The feeling on my shoulder even dispelled my fear and calmed me down.
At this time, the paper man led the paper horse, and the paper horse pulled the paper cart and finally stopped at the door of the Chen Family Ancestral Temple. The paper man parked the cart like a living person. Then the paper man pushed open the door of the Chen Family Ancestral Temple and walked in. After a while, the paper man actually carried one person out of the Chen Family Ancestral Temple!
This person is the third grandfather wearing a shroud!
Li Qing was about to make some moves, Chen Dongfang stopped him with his other hand, shook his head at him, and whispered: "Don't move."
After the paper men carried out the third grandfather, two paper men got on the paper cart, opened the coffin board of the sarcophagus, and then put the body of the third grandfather into the sarcophagus. The coffin board was once again covered by the paper men. Then, the paper men continued to take up the paper horse, turned the horse's head, and gradually disappeared from our vision.
It was not until the paper man and the horse disappeared completely that I let out a long breath and almost collapsed on the ground. Chen Dongfang was sweating profusely at this time. He took out a cigarette and gave it to me and Li Qing one. We lit it, but Li Qing took the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it without smoking.
I wanted to ask what was going on, but now I almost didn’t have the strength to open my mouth and talk. The three of us sat here for about ten minutes. Chen Dongfang stood up and said, “Let’s go and talk to the ancestral temple.”
My legs and feet were still a little soft. Li Qing carried me and I could only walk into the ancestral temple. Sure enough, the position of the third grandfather's body in the ancestral temple was now only a blanket left, and the body had disappeared, which made me lose the last trace of luck. I originally thought that what the paper man carried away might be the soul of the third grandfather, not the body.
Chen Dongfang's face was not good-looking, but he still looked at me and smiled bitterly: "I know it's scary now, right? This is why I don't want to take care of the gutters. It's too complicated."
I nodded and asked, "Brother said he would help you tonight, are you talking about this?"
Chen Dongfang nodded and said, "Well, he wants to help me stop the person who pulled the body away, but I dare not do this."
Now that things are almost clear, no wonder Chen Dongfang kept telling before he came back that the body of the third grandfather could not be cremated before he came back, no wonder Chen Dongfang looked so strange after I conveyed my elder brother's words. Maybe he wondered how could the elder brother know about this, but what I don't understand is that since Chen Dongfang knew that there would be such a paper man and a piece of paper to pull the body of the third grandfather, why didn't he stop me as a child? With my understanding of my elder brother, one thing he had to do was definitely a certainty. If he really wanted to stop, he would definitely succeed.
Chen Dongfang seemed to see through what I was thinking. He looked at the tablets of the ancestors of the Chen family in the spirit niche and said softly: "Yezi, you definitely don't understand why I didn't stop him. I'm also curious about what's going on. I didn't plan to tell you, but I don't know why your elder brother Sun Zhongmou knew the affairs of the Chen family so well. I thought this was a more secret than the secret of the Chen family's dragon head stele. Later, I decided to tell you and let you witness it with your own eyes. This may be the last thing I can help you before leaving. Your third grandfather has left, and I will not come back to Fudigou."
Chen Dongfang incense again for the ancestors of the Chen family. He sat on the cushion, lit a cigarette and said softly: "This is the curse of the chief of the Chen family guarding the Dragon Head Monument."
According to Chen Dongfang's meaning, Fudigou is not a village itself, but the ancestors of the Chen family settled here hundreds of years ago. The reason for settling here is to guard the Longtou Monument. However, as for the Chen family's thought that the ancestors were capable of erecting it, or the Chen family was only responsible for guarding it, this is because of the long age that cannot be verified, or the secret is actually in the secret of the other half known to Chen Shitou.
But from that time on, every leader of the Chen family guarding here had this disaster after the death of each leader of the Chen family. The leader of the Chen family was hereditary, so the clan leader specifically refers to the third grandfather. After the death of the Chen family, on the night of the third day, a paper man and a paper horse would take away the body of the Chen family leader. No one knew where the paper man and paper horse came from. As for where the body of the Chen family leader was pulled, he didn't know.
But no one can avoid this disaster by every patriarch.
When such a thing happened, it was not that no one wanted to stop it, but no one could succeed. Now most of the Yin and Yang masters in the world are cheating people, and there are even many people who seek fame and reputation. However, in the old society, there were definitely many real experts. The people found by the Chen family, several of whom were even powerful, but no one could stop it.
When Chen Dongfang said this, I couldn't help but ask: "Is there no one who can stop this paper man, paper horse sarcophagus?"
Chen Dongfang shook his head and said, "This is not without it, but the results are the same, even more terrifying. I heard from your third grandfather that there was once a very powerful Yin and Yang Mr. Yin and Yang who was entrusted by the Chen family to establish a Feng Shui formation in the Chen family's ancestral temple three months in advance. The formation is an extremely profound formation in Taoism. On the night of the third day, he did stop the paper man and the horse who were about to pull away the body and left the sarcophagus, but on the night of the fourth day."
When Chen Dongfang said this, he paused again. His lips were a little white. He gritted his teeth and said, "On the fourth night, a team of headless Yin soldiers came. They were a team of dead bodies, each without a head. These corpses were invulnerable and had extremely strong combat power. When these headless Yin soldiers arrived, the Yin Yang knew that he had caused a big disaster. In order not to implicate the Chen family, he took the body of the Chen family leader to fight against the Yin soldiers. In the end, the Yin Yang Mr. was torn to pieces, and the body of the Chen family leader and the sarcophagus were taken away by the Yin soldiers. So you know why I dare not stop them, right? I know that there is your elder brother, Li Qing and me here. It is easy to stop this paper man and paper horse, but the next one will be Yin soldiers. Even if we lucky enough to win the Yin soldiers, what will happen on the fifth night? What will happen?"
I opened my mouth, but my mouth was bitter and I couldn't say a word.
"Now there is no such thing as the head of the Chen family. Is this still the case?" I asked.
Chen Dongfang smiled bitterly and said, "Your third grandfather is not the leader of the Chen family anymore. It's useless. Now the leader of the Chen family is me. According to the rules of the ancient family, I was the leader of the Chen family. So after my uncle dies, it will be the same as today. I know that it's useless even if I hide in Shanghai."
"What the hell is this!" I said.
"I don't know, as the Chen family will experience this disaster sooner or later, I really hope that your elder brother can really solve the puzzle of the twelve ghost caves, but as your uncle, I still don't want you to get involved in this matter." Chen Dongfang looked at me and said.
I looked at him, not knowing what to say, nor how to comfort this person who is strong enough in itself.
"But as long as you get involved in this matter, no one can escape, and no one will have a good end. This is fate." Chen Dongfang said with red eyes. After saying that, he stood up and said, "Let's go, go to your house to seal the coffin and get buried tomorrow morning. Ye Zi, are you very surprised how the leaders of the Chen family were buried? In fact, it's just a tomb. It's not that they don't want to, but that there are no corpses for burial."
