Chapter 121
The old man in the white suit is definitely not simple.
Thinking about it, this mountain of mass graves is not clean. Even when I walk inside, I feel trembling and don't dare to run around.
But people are busy carving tombstones here. It's strange that they can be simple!
I stood behind him obediently, watching him finish cleaning the tombstone, and then took out a steel shovel to smooth the stone surface and remove the pitted edges.
After the tombstone was smoothed out, he took out the hammer and chisel and continued carving.
This time he still carved the rebirth mantra.
Moreover, his movements are very skillful, and the chisel turns smoothly. As far as I'm concerned, no one could achieve this level without ten years of carving skills.
As the mantras were carved out of the tombstones one by one, I couldn't help but ask: "Old man, when you carved the rebirth mantra, did you want to save the souls here?"
The old man did not look back and said while working: "When a person dies, he cannot go to the underworld. Resentment remains in the world, which is a disaster after all." "
If you don't save him and I don't save him, who will save him?"
When he said this, he suddenly turned to me and asked, "Will you?" Don't know the Rebirth Mantra?"
I actually didn't know much about this Buddhist practice, but the old man didn't wait for my answer before he said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know it, you can just start with it."
"Did you see the tombstone next to it? Straighten it up and clean it up."
"It doesn't matter if there is a name of the deceased on it. They have been dead for who knows how many years. Under the erosion of resentment, they don't even know who they were, so why do they need this name!"
I don't know. What's going on? He actually nodded in agreement, and then regardless of his physical exhaustion, he lifted up the heavy tombstone next to him.
The old man threw the rag and shovel in his hand to me again and said: "This world is actually very fair. If you help him, he will reward you."
"Don't always think about getting something for nothing. You only have to pay first and you will gain something." ."
I saw that the old man was talking well and seemed to mean something.
But I also know that if I wander around the graveyard in the middle of the night, something will happen sooner or later.
Now since the old man is willing to help me, he should hug his thighs first.
But he said that one of us was repairing the tombstone, and the other was engraving incantations. It didn't take long for us to finish a stone.
Unknowingly, the surrounding atmosphere became calmer, and even the temperature was gradually rising.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and then subconsciously glanced around. I saw silhouettes standing vaguely one after another under the dim yellow lantern.
I was startled, and the tombstone in my hand almost fell over.
As a result, the old man said calmly: "Why are you panicking? Among the ghosts living here, who doesn't want to free themselves and be reborn in bliss?" "
They are here to thank you."
I looked closely and found that these shadowy ghosts were not the same as before. Same.
Those ghost shadows before were so fierce that even wanted criminals could fight them.
The ghosts now seem to be very kind, and some even take the initiative to approach the tombstones with the rebirth curses engraved on them, and gather together to whisper.
I immediately understood that when the old man carved the rebirth curse on the tombstone, he actually wanted to save the countless souls here.
I stood in awe of the old man and said, "Old man, it turns out you want to save the souls of the dead here."
The old man still didn't stop what he was doing and said, "There are dead people hiding in the graveyard mountain, and those who can live here are poor people. ."
"Someone has to take care of these things, right?"
I asked: "Old man, how long have you lived here?"
The old man paused for a moment and said, "About more than twenty years? At that time, right? The mountain of mass graves is even bigger than it is now." "At first, thirteen friends vowed to clean up this mass of mass graves, but later, some of them were exhausted, and some of them were tired of this work, and they also Some people did the stupid thing like Buddha feeding eagles with meat, and as a result, they were eaten by evil spirits and only their bones were left." "
Now, the old man is the only one left!"
I was secretly shocked when I heard this.
The old man has stayed here for more than twenty years?
No wonder the technique of engraving scriptures is so skilled!
But he spent half his life carving scriptures here to appease the souls of the dead? Picture what?
For a moment, I suddenly felt that the image of this old man became taller.
He insisted on doing things that others couldn't insist on.
He did what others couldn't do.
When the old man saw that I had stopped, he looked up at me and said, "Why are you still standing there? Work quickly..."
Suddenly, the old man suddenly raised his head and looked into the misty graves.
I hurriedly followed his gaze, and then I realized that the dead souls who had been surrounding me were retreating, as if they were afraid of something.
Some ghost figures even retreated so hastily that their bodies almost disappeared.
The old man suddenly said coldly: "You're back?"
"Let me just say, there is a mess in the back mountain. Someone must have broken in. Are those wanted criminals in China?"
A gentle voice came from the thick fog. The voice said: "Second brother, long time no see."
The old man said with a straight face: "It is indeed you."
"You have been away for so long, why are you coming back?"
I stared inside and saw a A young man in a white suit slowly emerged from the mist.
This white suit is very coquettish, and with the civilized stick in his hand, he has a very early foreign style.
But when I looked carefully, I realized that he was actually quite a lot older. Although his face looked young, he already had crow's feet at the corners of his eyes.
The most important thing is his eyes, which are very deep and have a sense of vicissitudes of life.
Real young people don't have such eyes.
The old man threw away the hammer and chisel in his hand and said, "There's a lot of commotion on the back mountain. The Ghost King and Corpse King over there are alarmed." "
What's the matter? Do you want to have a chance with them?"
I was shocked. Feeling numb, I thought that there really was a ghost king and a corpse king in this mountain of graves.
Think about it, in such a large area, just the souls and zombies would cost hundreds and thousands of dollars. How could there be no Ghost King or Corpse King?
The boss once told me that in today's society, ghost kings and corpse kings basically do not appear in the city. If they do exist, they will definitely be in barren mountains or extremely gloomy places.
For example, there are three ghost kings in the Land of the Dead in Mobei, and even Yu Bushun, the big boss in northwestern Shanxi, dare not provoke them.
There are ghost kings and corpse kings in Grave Mountain, so it shouldn't be a nameless place.
How could the boss not tell me?
The man in the white suit smiled and said: "What we pay attention to is seeking money. If we can make money, it doesn't matter if we touch the Ghost King and the Corpse King. But birds in the graves don't poop, and there is nothing good. Why should we provoke these people?" You two?"
"I'm actually a little angry when I come here. Those incompetent little guys under my command can lose everyone, so I have no choice but to come and look for it myself." He turned his eyes to
me and smiled. He said, "He Yongheng, it's very dangerous to stay here, why don't you go out with me?"
My scalp went numb when I heard that, this is the eldest brother of a wanted criminal!
The short fat man, the snake girl, the green-eyed man, and the unknown burly man, I'm afraid they are all this guy's men!
