C20 The Human Face in the Hair

When I opened the coffin and heard Wang Sicheng's wife's words, I didn't understand what she meant!

Just as I was puzzled, a voice suddenly came from in front of me, "Fann, what are you doing there?"

I was startled when I heard this voice! Then, I hurriedly raised my head and looked in front of me. When I looked, I immediately realized that my father was standing at the door of the house and staring at me.

When I saw my father come out, my heart immediately relaxed! Then, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Wang Sicheng's wife. I didn't know when Wang Sicheng's wife had disappeared.

I was slightly stunned. Then, I turned around and walked in a circle. However, I didn't see Wang Sicheng's wife!

She just left!

After seeing my situation, my father couldn't help but ask me, "Fann, what are you doing over there?"

I came back to my senses and walked to my father's side. Then, I told my father everything that had happened just now!

After hearing what I said, not only my father, but even Old Immortal Chen and the others stopped talking!

The entire house fell into a dead silence!

In the end, my father nodded and said, "Alright, I understand!"

After saying that, he brought me back to the outer room. Then, he raised his head and asked Old Immortal Chen, "Immortal Master, is the coffin sealed?"

Old Immortal Chen nodded and said, "It's already sealed! We can leave anytime!"

Hearing that, my dad nodded. Then, he looked at the time and said, "Alright, let's go!"

After my dad finished speaking, Old Immortal Chen couldn't help but shout, "Please bring the Dragon Subduing Wood!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a few Immortals carried two red logs that were as thick as a man's thighs and walked in.

At that time, I didn't understand what the Dragon Subduing Wood was. I thought that the name of this kind of tree was called Dragon Subduing Wood!

After the few of them carried the two Dragon Subduing Woods in, they used a rope dipped in cinnabar to tie them to the coffin. When everything was ready, my dad took out a string of firecrackers and walked to the entrance of Wang Sicheng's house to light it up.

Suddenly, there was a crackling sound.

This string of firecrackers was also very particular!

Generally speaking, when someone died here, only three strings of firecrackers would be set off.

The first string was set off when the coffin was being prepared to notify the ghosts outside that there was a dead person on the road. They hoped that they wouldn't come and disturb them! The second string was set off when they arrived at the destination and landed on the coffin! It was to remind the ghosts around the graveyard that the graveyard had a master and warned them not to come and disturb them! As for the last string, it was set off when the burial ceremony was over and we were about to leave. It was to tell the dead that they were already separated from us and that they should not come back!

In addition to the three firecrackers, the deceased's family would also prepare a few more firecrackers in case of emergencies!

After the firecrackers were lit, my father looked at Old Immortal Chen and received his confirmation. Then, he picked up a small bowl from the kitchen and threw it on the ground. He shouted, "Raise the coffin!"

My father's method was called throwing a bowl to raise the coffin! Of course, there were also a lot of places where he threw other things in place of the bowl. However, the general meaning was almost the same! It was to tell the deceased that it was difficult to make a full circle!

The bowl was thrown, and then they parted ways. This family no longer had his position!

As my father threw the small bowl on the ground, the small bowl was immediately smashed into pieces.

At the same time, Old Immortal Chen shouted, "Raise!"

As his voice rang out, the eight people exerted their strength at the same time and lifted the coffin!

Then, under my father's lead, they walked out.

The remaining few people could only quietly follow behind them.

Wang Sicheng's wife had just passed away a few days ago. The saying "people die a hundred days without adding color"!

The meaning was that if a family had a funeral, and if one of them passed away within a hundred days, then no matter what, they could not offer a sacrifice! It could only be simplified! Otherwise, it would not be good for the family of the deceased, and even the person who offered the sacrifice!

So, we didn't prepare any tribute for Wang Sicheng! We could only rush forward!

Just like that, we walked towards the location of the Yin Tomb.

However, just as we were halfway there, my dad told everyone to stop.

We were all stunned! There was no reason for the coffin to stop!

The Eight Immortals were carrying the coffin, so they couldn't land! This was a taboo!

My dad couldn't be unaware of this!

At this time, Old Immortal Chen couldn't help but ask my dad, "Second Master, why did you stop? Did you see something?"

My dad nodded and said to us, "Look ahead!"

Hearing my dad's words, we couldn't help but look ahead.

As we looked, we immediately saw that in front of us, there were blue dots of light. These dots of light were flashing in front of us, blocking our way. Moreover, there were more and more of them!

"What is this?"

I couldn't help but ask my dad when I saw these dots of light.

My dad said indifferently, "It's a cat!"

"A cat?"

Hearing my dad's words, I couldn't help but be stunned! I grew up in this village. Although I couldn't accurately know how many cats there were in our village, I could guarantee that there were definitely not that many cats in our village! Especially when all of them gathered here tonight! This made me feel that something was wrong!

At this moment, the cats suddenly started to bark at us.

The sound of the night owls was something that many people had heard before! However, there were so many cats together, and they were all barking at the same time, which was absolutely unprecedented!

We couldn't help but feel a chill run down our spine!

At this moment, something even more terrifying happened! There were heavy and rapid breathing sounds coming from the coffin next to us!

The moment I heard this sound, my scalp exploded!

Could it be that Wang Sicheng's corpse was faking its death?

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at my father.

At this moment, Old Immortal Chen couldn't help but say to my father, "Second Master, this is not right! The coffin is getting heavier and heavier! We have to think of a way to solve this problem! Otherwise, something might happen!"

My father nodded and said, "The night owls' cries are resonating! This is definitely the reaction of a corpse faking its death!"

At this point, my father looked at the cats in front of him. Then, he asked for another string of firecrackers from Mr. Wang. He lit them up and threw them at the group of cats in front of him.

Instantly, the sound of cracking firecrackers could be heard.

After the cats were frightened, they started to scream and run away!

Without the sounds of the cats, Wang Sicheng's corpse in the coffin became much quieter.

"Let's go!"

My dad said and led the way forward.

We didn't dare to be slow either! We hurriedly followed!

This time, we didn't encounter any more messy things. Instead, we directly came to the cemetery that Uncle and the others had prepared for Wang Sicheng!

When they saw us, Uncle hurriedly came forward to greet us. Then, he looked at us with a slightly tired expression and said, "You guys finally came! You have tortured us all night long!"

When they heard Uncle say that, we immediately became alert! This meant that something had happened to Uncle!

My dad didn't ask Uncle what had happened directly. Instead, he called for the others to set up the long bench. Then, he placed Wang Sicheng's coffin on the long bench. After putting a whip on it, he couldn't help but ask Uncle, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Uncle nodded and then told us everything that had happened last night!

When Uncle and the others came here, Uncle was still the same as before. He burned incense and worshipped Earth. There was nothing wrong with him.

However, when they started digging, they dug out handfuls of hair.

At the beginning, they didn’t think much about it. They thought that those hair were left there by someone. After all, hair was a strange thing. It wouldn’t rot even if it was buried in the ground for a long time. Moreover, if it was hair from a dead body, it might continue to grow. So, Uncle and the others continued to dig!

However, as more and more hair grew, it even affected Uncle and the others who were digging. Their shovels were entangled by the hair on the ground from time to time. They couldn’t lift it up. It was as if there was something in the ground that was fighting for the shovels in their hands, preventing them from digging further!

At this time, Uncle understood that something had happened!

However, he didn’t say anything at that time because he was worried that the other three people would be scared!

So, he pretended that nothing had happened and continued to dig.

However, gradually, the other three people also realized that something was wrong!

Because the hole they dug out was no longer filled with soil. It was full of hair!

Moreover, as the wind blew, the hair seemed to be alive. They kept swaying in front of their eyes!

What was even scarier was that at this moment, a man couldn’t help but scream and fall to the ground!

Uncle and the others didn’t know what was wrong with this man, so they couldn’t help but turn to look at him.

It was only at this moment that the man stuttered and told Uncle and the others that he saw a human face in the hair! It was a ghastly white one!
