C6 Ghost Saliva Sand

I didn't want my grandfather to leave, but I also knew that my grandfather was not normal. The doctor said that he would not live for more than three days, but he forcefully held on for half a month. Although he was still alive, he looked like he was dead. I, who had never experienced such a thing, was at a loss. In the end, I lost my mind and went to find Poison Elder to help me see what was wrong with my grandfather.

Poison Elder came to my house and looked at my grandfather. He frowned deeply and said, "Your grandfather has a wish that he has yet to fulfill. He doesn't want to leave, so he is holding on. In such a situation, as long as we resolve his wish, he will naturally go."

His wish had yet to be fulfilled. What kind of wish did his grandfather have? Was he worried about me and my mother? Or did he want to see his second uncle, who had not returned for many years? Or perhaps, he wanted to find my father's corpse?

Poison Elder said, "We have to ask your grandfather. What is he unable to let go of? If he were to leave like this, he would die with regrets."

I did not want my grandfather to have any regrets before he died. "But how do we ask him? He is unconscious right now. He won't be able to hear us. He can't tell us what he wants to say."

Poison Elder looked at me and said, "Do you still remember that I once told you about the Ghost Saliva Sand? As long as we find the Ghost Saliva Sand, your grandfather will have a chance to wake up."

I nodded. I remembered the Ghost Saliva Sand. Poison Elder had once told me that there was a divine item in the mortal world called Ghost Saliva Sand. It could prolong one's life and had the effect of reviving the dead. If an old man ate it, he could live for one to three years. If a dying person ate it, he could hold on for a while longer.

However, that thing was extremely rare. It was born from the mouth of a dead person, and not every dead person had one. It had very strict requirements for the environment it grew in. To grow a piece of Ghost Saliva Sand, it needed to meet at least four conditions.

First: The coffin must be a high-quality wood that had been used for more than a hundred years.

Second: The dead must have eaten rare Ganoderma Grass and other tonics before dying. The burial ground must be good after the death.

Third: The dead must have blood in their mouth and nose.

Fourth: The dead must have died at the 73 or 74 points.

Only by meeting these four conditions could the Ghost Saliva Sand be born.

The reason why it was born was because the person who ate the Ginseng and Ganoderma before his death still had the Ginseng and Ganoderma Qi in his body after his death. After he was buried in the ground, the Ginseng Qi would not dissipate, and it would mix with the blood in the dead person's mouth and nose. After a long time, under the nourishment of the Feng Shui Treasure Land, something similar to a flower would grow out of the corpse's mouth. That thing would die half a month after it was born, and after it died, it would wither and shrink into the corpse's mouth, turning into something as hard as stone, with a scarlet red color like cinnabar. It was called "Ghost Saliva Sand".

It was said that in ancient times, there were people who used the "breaking bones" as a profession, which was to collect the bones of people buried in the ground for many years and bury them separately. In reality, during the process of breaking the bones, they also had to look for Ghost Saliva Sand in exchange for money. In ancient times, the royal palace, the high officials, and even the big families would buy that thing at an extremely high price to prepare for emergencies.

"But it's a story after all. Does the Ghost Saliva Sand really exist? Even if it exists, with its harsh growth conditions, where can we find it?" I felt that Poison Elder's suggestion was a little unreliable.

However, Poison Elder was serious and said, "Before Chief's father died, he had eaten many good things. I saw the coffin before he was buried. Sixteen old men carried a top-grade hundred-year Nanmu coffin. That old man died of lung disease, and before he died, he often vomited blood. He died at the age of eighty-four, and the burial place was also Feng Shui Treasure Land. That piece of land was found by the Village Chief from the city to find Great Master. It was the best piece of land in a radius of a hundred miles. How good was it? It was said that if an egg was buried in that piece of land, it would hatch into a chicken in half a month, and it would be full of vitality and nourish the descendants. All of these are in line with the growth conditions of the Ghost Saliva Sand. I reckon that there is a high chance that there is that thing inside. Tonight, let's dig open his tomb and take a look.

Just like that, after nightfall, I carried the shovel and followed Poison Elder up the mountain.

We didn't have a lantern. After all, what we were doing was not a glorious thing. There was a shining moon hanging in the sky, and it illuminated the path under our feet. It was just that the mountain that was covered by the cold moonlight had a bit of a cold feeling, and there was a bit of ghastly Ghost Qi. In the depths of the forest, there would occasionally be a few strange cries that I didn't know what they were. It made me feel anxious, afraid that something would suddenly appear in the darkness.

Fortunately, Poison Elder was quite bold. After walking for half an hour, he brought me to a tomb.

Under the moonlight, I saw the words "Chaos公社" carved on the tombstone in front of the tomb. It was the name of the village chief's father.

Poison Elder said, "We're here. Dig it up." After saying that, he spat on his hand and started to dig.

When a person died, they would be buried in the earth. Digging the tomb was disturbing the rest of the dead. It was a sin. Besides, this was the tomb of the village chief's family. If the village chief knew about this, Poison Elder and I would be in deep trouble.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to know what your grandfather's wish is?" Poison Elder said as he saw that I had not moved yet.

With the mention of his grandfather, I could not care less. I gritted my teeth and decided to join the digging. I prayed in my heart that the corpse in the coffin had Ghost Saliva Sand. I prayed that it could prolong my grandfather's life.

It was my prayers that were effective. After digging the tomb and opening the coffin, Poison Elder really dug out a thumb-sized, red, hard stone from the half-destroyed corpse. Under the moonlight, it shone like a top-quality chicken blood stone.

Poison Elder was overjoyed and said that it was this thing.

After that, Poison Elder and I filled the tomb and returned home with the Ghost Saliva Sand under the moonlight.

After he went back, Poison Elder found half a bottle of wine and boiled it in the pot. He threw the Ghost Saliva Sand into the wine. The hard rock-like Ghost Saliva Sand melted like ice when it came into contact with hot water, and it quickly melted, dyeing half a bottle of wine red like blood. After the wine cooled down, Poison Elder poured it down for his grandfather.

That thing was really magical. After drinking it, his grandfather coughed a few times and opened his eyes!

Grandfather's condition seemed to be very bad, but he could already speak. He looked at me, then looked at Poison Elder. He raised his hand slightly, pointed to the cabinet at the end of the bed, and said weakly, "Box... Box, give it to me."

I thought about it. Grandfather couldn't rest easy with my mother. He wanted to see Second Uncle, but he was unwilling to let my father die in a muddle. The murderer had been free for a long time, but the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to ask for a box. What box? How come I never knew that there was a box in our family?
