"I know."
Luo Tianhe said in a voice only the two of us could hear, "I can't save face if I don't yell a few words, so many brothers are watching."
Damn it.
Was I being used?
But he was doing it to help me, so thinking about it that way makes me feel better.
I rolled my eyes: "What if I don't agree to keep vigil?"
Luo Tianhe chuckled indifferently twice: "Then let's fight!"
...
Luo Tianhe was afraid that someone in the village would cause trouble during the vigil tonight, so he replaced all the vigil keepers with his brothers.
Fifth Master looked at us, the few of us keeping vigil, and instructed us: "Remember tonight, you absolutely must not let cats or dogs near the corpse, otherwise it will rise from the dead, and then it will be hard to explain."
At this point, Master Jin gave a cold laugh.
The sound was very soft; only I heard it.
I turned to look at Jin Ye and found that his smile was particularly sarcastic.
"A zombie?"
Many villagers were still there and were startled when they heard this.
"What should I do if a zombie comes back to life? Is it like the zombies in the movies, sucking human blood?"
These words caused widespread panic.
Fifth Master raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Don't worry, even if she comes back to life, it's not a big deal. She can't hurt anyone, as long as you don't provoke her."
That's what they say, but nobody has ever seen a corpse come back to life.
Even the people Luo Tianhe brought were shouting that they should cremate the body.
Sixth Uncle also said worriedly, "Fifth Master, why don't we just cremate the body?"
"Don't burn it!"
Fifth Master looked serious as he slowly swept his gaze over the crowd.
"Suqin is carrying a snake fetus. In the Chinese zodiac, the snake belongs to the Si (巳) and is associated with the element of fire and wind."
"Suqin's own destiny is intertwined with that of the snake fetus. She was born in the year of Guihai, and Guihai is the destiny of the Great Ocean Water. The water and the fire attribute of the snake fetus are mutually restraining and interdependent."
Fifth Master paused, closed his eyes slightly, and his fingers moved rapidly, as if he were deducing something in his mind, before slowly opening them.
"If the corpse is cremated rashly, using fire to fight fire, this delicate balance will be broken, and the resentment of the snake fetus will erupt instantly due to the strong external fire."
"Furthermore, the seawater in Suqin's destiny will be evaporated by the raging fire, causing chaos in the five elements, which will inevitably lead to a great disaster."
"This snake fetus is already filled with resentment. Once it is completely enraged, its power will go out of control."
"At that time, the entire village may be shrouded in this evil power, and it may be plunged into an abyss of no return."
Every word Fifth Master spoke was like a heavy hammer blow, striking everyone's hearts hard.
"Therefore, we must follow the established method and wait until the night of the full moon, when the yin energy is at its peak, to draw upon the yin energy of heaven and earth to suppress the fire energy of the snake fetus before removing it, so as to ensure our safety."
Time flew by and it was evening.
At this point, everyone in the village except for the people Luo Tianhe brought had gone home.
Uncle Liu also took his son up to the bedroom on the third floor to rest.
Luo Tianhe and his brothers are playing cards.
I was folding gold ingots on the side.
As instructed by Fifth Master, the incense must not be extinguished tonight.
Jin walked over to me and said in a low voice, "Suqin will definitely rise from the dead tonight. Remember, burn her before she does."
