Ma Qiang was still yelling, "Brother Yang, hurry up and come up, the snake is so big, if it bites you, a piece of your flesh will be gone..."
Ma Qiang was standing at the edge of the grave, feeling very nervous.
Chen Biao had already retreated a few steps away.
I stared at the python, my mouth tilted, and said to Ma Qiang in a deep voice: "Go ahead, can't you see it's staring at me? You two should step back first, I can handle it myself!"
"real?"
Ma Qiang asked with some concern.
I said unhappily, "Really! Of course it's true, hurry up and back off, don't dither."
Ma Qiang then stepped back reluctantly.
I was also very nervous. I held a shovel in my hand, but it was too late to attack with the shovel.
I had a talisman on my body, but I didn't dare to move at all. If I moved, I was afraid that the python would attack me immediately. In addition, the grave was very narrow, and I couldn't use the Gang Step at all.
Damn, I’m really in trouble!
But as I expected, apart from the python, there was no trace of Chen Biao's mother's remains in the coffin. It seemed that someone had moved Chen Biao's mother's remains away.
I stood there, not daring to move, my palms full of sweat.
The python's eyes stared at me, giving me the feeling that its eyes were cunning. The red snake tongue kept coming out of its mouth.
When the python was spitting out its tongue, I also saw rows of long teeth inside its mouth.
Oh my God, it looks like this python is also an adult python. Even if it is not in its twenties, it must be in its teens.
But if I run away now, I will lose the battle.
This is like two armies fighting. If one side retreats and admits defeat, the other side will definitely pursue.
"Gulp!"
My Adam's apple quivered and I swallowed.
But the next moment, what I didn't expect was that after the python stretched its head forward, it quickly retracted its head.
When it retracted its head, I looked behind it and was shocked.
It turned out that there were five or six small snakes as thick as fingers behind the python. Those small snakes looked very similar to the python and should be the python's children.
My goodness, I was wondering why that python was so ferocious, it turns out it was protecting its children.
Thinking of this, the anxiety in my heart is slowly decreasing.
If the python was really protecting its children, it would not attack me for the time being.
The python and I just confronted each other, its eyes fixed on me and my eyes fixed on it.
Soon, the python slowly tightened its body.
I thought it was about to attack me, but that was not the case.
After the python tightened its body and coiled into a ball, the little pythons slowly climbed up its body and crawled out of the coffin!
Seeing this, I was delighted. It seemed that the python had chosen to retreat.
Soon, the five or six little pythons crawled out of the coffin and crawled along a relatively gentle slope beside the grave. In just a moment, the little pythons disappeared into the tangled weeds.
At this time, I still didn't dare to move.
I stood there like a wooden stake.
Ma Qiang and Chen Biao were standing in the distance, both feeling a little worried.
Ma Qiang was probably afraid of scaring the big python, so he whispered to me, "Brother Yang, what should we do? The small snakes left, but the python didn't. Otherwise, just use the shovel in your hand to beat it to death!"
I frowned and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense. Although it is a snake, it didn't hurt me. Why should I kill it? Besides, do you think it is so easy to deal with it? I tell you, this guy is less than half a meter away from me. Even if I launch an attack, it will not be in time!"
"What should I do?"
Ma Qiang asked me.
"What to do? Just wait! Didn't you see that the little pythons have already left? It estimates that the big python will leave soon!"
Ma Qiang didn't say anything else.
But after a few minutes, the giant python stretched its body forward again and then slowly retracted its head.
I know it's still testing me. This thing is really smart.
As I expected, after the test, the python twisted its body and began to crawl out of the coffin.
The rustling sound of its scales rubbing against the coffin lid made me feel a little creepy.
Soon the big python also crawled into the wormwood and disappeared.
Seeing the python leave, I felt relieved.
Thinking about the confrontation between me and the python just now, I felt really scared. Although the python is not poisonous, if it bites me, I am afraid I will not feel good.
Seeing that the pythons had left, Ma Qiang and Chen Biao ran over quickly.
"Brother Yang, are you okay?"
I shook my head and said, "It's okay! The snakes have left!"
Chen Biao looked at me, then his eyes turned to the coffin, and then he exclaimed: "Hey, that's not right, Master Yang, where is my mother's body? Why is it gone?... After so many years, even if her body has rotted, her body should still be there. Also, why is the shroud gone?!"
I supported my body with the shovel and then jumped out of the grave.
I looked at Chen Biao and said, "It seems that your mother's body is no longer here! Just like I said before, someone must have tampered with your mother's body."
Ma Qiang stood aside and asked thoughtfully, "No way, Brother Yang, what use can the bones be? Could it be that his mother's body and bones were swallowed by the python?"
I glared at Ma Qiang and said, "Don't make blind guesses. Even if the snake really swallowed up Brother Chen's mother's body, it would have left some traces. But look at the coffin, it's empty, there's nothing left."
"Besides, the python gave birth to its child in the coffin, and it didn't seem like it had been here for a long time. So the problem is still with his mother's body."
After hearing what I said, Chen Biao's face was filled with resentment, and he said angrily, "It must be that Li Xiang. He must have stolen my mother's body, and then used that curse to curse our family. He just wants to kill our family!"
Having said this, Chen Biao, full of resentment, picked up a hatchet from the ground beside him and walked towards the southeast of the mountain.
"Brother Chen, where are you going? Calm down first. The truth has not yet been revealed. Even if you go find Li Xiang now, he won't admit it!"
I said loudly.
But Chen Biao didn't listen to me at all.
Damn it, this makes me really angry. It seems that people are the hardest to control.
"Qiangzi, hurry over and stop him, don't let him do anything stupid!"
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Soon, Chen Biao was stopped by Ma Qiang.
I came up to them holding Chen Yousong's urn in one hand and the shovel in the other.
"Master Yang, why are you stopping me? That Li Xiang came to our house because of the drowning of his son Li Yunlong. My mother is dead, but he still won't let go of her body. He is simply a bastard."
"And my dead child must be cursed too!"
Chen Biao's eyes were red and his face was filled with anger.
I couldn't help but frown and said sternly, "Chen Biao, calm down. I said I would help your family. Even if the curse was really created by Li Xiang, do you think you can break the curse by killing Li Xiang?"
"That's impossible. I tell you, the only way you can guarantee that you and your husband will be safe is if you listen to me now.
"I wish you all the best for your mother-in-law's safety! ... Otherwise, not only will your family be extinct in the future, but even you two won't have an easy life!"
Stunned by what I said, Chen Biao looked as if he had fainted.
He just squatted on the ground and started crying bitterly.
It's really pitiful to see a grown man crying like that.
"Alright, alright, Brother Chen, don't be sad. My brother Yang's words were indeed a bit harsh. But you also have to understand the situation. We came to your hometown to help you. After all, my brother Yang is a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. For things like this, we can only rely on him!"
With Ma Qiang's persuasion, Chen Biao finally got better.
Chen Biao looked up, stared at me with red eyes, and said, "Okay, Master Yang, I'll listen to you. As long as you can find the person who harmed our family and lift the curse, I, Chen Biao, will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"
I waved my hands and said to Chen Biao, "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will help you seriously with this matter. Please don't be so impulsive. Sometimes, things are not what we imagine!"
At this time, Ma Qiang asked me, "Brother Yang, what should we do next? The grave has been dug up, but the body is missing!"
I thought about it and said, "Then let's go to the Chen family's old house in Jinhe Village first. For such a strong curse to be created, it also needs a connection. Now it seems that the only thing that can be connected to the Chen family, besides the bones of Brother Chen's mother, is the Chen family's old house!"
"Okay, okay, Master Yang, let's go to our old house now!"
Chen Biao stood up immediately.
I nodded without saying anything, and then the three of us went down the southeast mountain.
After reaching the foot of the mountain and getting in the car, we headed to Jinhe Village.
The houses in Jinhe Village are all tiled. It is summer now and the villagers are very idle. Most of them sit together to enjoy the cool air and chat.
When I first entered Jinhe Village, I saw many old men and women sitting under the banyan trees chatting. Of course, there were also many women and men.
When we drove into the village, we were stopped by an ugly dark-looking man.
The man was wearing slippers, holding a cigarette, and looked to be in his thirties.
Chen Biao said that he knew the man, his name was Lu Dayong, and he was a little gangster in Jinhe Village.
Lu Dayong knocked on the car window and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you driving into our village? I tell you, we don't allow outsiders to come in casually!"
Ma Qiang rolled down the car window, frowned and said, "We are friends of the Chen family, we came into the village to take a look!"
"Friends of the Chen family? Which Chen family?"
Lu Dayong asked with disdain.
At this time, Chen Biao slowly opened the back door of the car and got out. When he saw Chen Biao, Lu Dayong was stunned for a moment, but soon he recognized Chen Biao.
"Hahaha, it's Chen Biao. I thought it was someone from the Chen family! I haven't seen you for so many years, and you seem to be getting stronger and stronger. How is Mr. Chen?"
Lu Dayong raised his neck and said with a smile.
Chen Biao knew that Lu Dayong was not a good person, but he still said, "I am fine, but my father has passed away!"
After hearing what Chen Biao said, Lu Dayong was stunned for a moment, and then he said: "It's better to die, it's better to die... The old man is already in his seventies and eighties, and it would be a blessing if he died!"
The villagers in the distance were also talking about it.
"snort!"
Chen Biao snorted coldly. He was very angry about Lu Dayong's words. In addition, his family affairs made him very unhappy.
Chen Biao got angry at Lu Dayong and shouted, "Lu Dayong, shut your stinky mouth. Even though my father is dead, you can't just swear at him. Look at you, you still look like a scoundrel! You have no manners at all!"
After being scolded by Chen Biao, Lu Dayong's eyebrows almost stood up and his eyes widened.
