Chapter 1 Kowloon Coffin
I was born in the Year of the Snake. I was born with an incomplete soul and suffered from a strange disease.A dense circle of herpes appeared all over the body.

Everyone in the village said that I couldn’t survive. My grandfather got the folk prescription from nowhere. He used the gallbladder of a hundred-year-old snake as medicine. feet, with a bulging strange snake on top of its head.

But after he came back, grandpa went crazy, talking madly all day long, his whole body was itchy, he scratched his body day and night, and his skin was scratched.

But those skins were all in one piece, just like the snake skin that shed, and it didn't take long for him to die.

On the night of Grandpa's death, nine snakes appeared in the house and wrapped around his coffin.

The family members were terrified, but the Xiangpo who found it said that it was a good thing that the Kowloon wrapped the coffin, but my grandma didn't seem to think so.

When grandma saw the snake, she went back to her room silently, took out a tablet with weird paintings, and kept burning incense to worship...

·
My name is Bai Yao, and I have lived with my grandma since I was a child, but my grandma has a strange rule. Every night before going to bed, my grandma will make me drink a bowl of dark talisman water.

The mixed smell of incense ash is very difficult to drink. Every time I play my temper and refuse to drink it, my grandma scares me that if I don’t drink it, a ghost mother-in-law will come into the house at night and take me away.

On my night, grandma grabbed a rooster and wiped its neck, mixed the blood of the rooster with incense ash water, and asked me to drink it.

The strong blood and stench made me sick, and while grandma was not paying attention, I poured out the bowl of scarlet incense ash water.

Unexpectedly, that night I dreamed of a man with a snake tail, his snake tail was tightly wrapped around me, and the scales glowed with cold light, emitting a cold air.

The pointed and thin tail clings to the calf and winds up all the way, and the huge snake shadow envelopes me.

"Finally see you!"

His breath was wet and cold, and the crimson snake slipped across my lips.

Even though he was close at hand, his face seemed to be covered in a layer of mist, and his facial features could not be distinguished no matter what.

I can feel that his rough black scales are constantly tightening my body, and those dark green vertical pupils are staring at me with a cold light.

"I should swallow you, and then melt your skin from head to toe bit by bit." His voice seemed to come from hell, and the cold snake letter wrapped around my earlobe.

When I woke up from the dream, the sweat on my forehead was very uncomfortable.

Early the next morning, I told my grandma that I dreamed of a man with a snake tail last night. Grandma's face changed drastically after hearing this.

She told me not to leave home easily, and then walked into the ancestral hall of my ancestors not far away on crutches.

Grandma didn't come out of the ancestral hall until around eight o'clock in the evening. When I walked in by holding the threshold, I saw that grandma's face was very pale.

After I came back, in addition to letting me drink incense ash, I also tied a red ribbon around my wrist, so that I must not take it off at night.

Late at night that night, I heard a noise. I thought it was my grandma getting up to go to the bathroom at night, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But after a while, I saw a fire in the yard through the window, accompanied by a strange sound.

I got up in a daze, and saw grandma hunched over, lying on the ground in an extremely exaggerated movement in the yard, with a yellow cloth bag beside her, as if she was worshiping something.

In front of her was a strange oval tablet, one foot long and five inches wide, with only a pattern drawn in ink on it.

The pattern was actually a black python.

Grandma lit the joss paper, her mouth seemed to be praying continuously, and the voice I heard in the room came from her mouth.

It's just that grandma's voice was evil, it was her own voice for a while, and another weird voice for a while.

But the strange thing is, no matter what I can't hear what she said.

Grandma is just like bewitched.

I was very scared in my heart, and it took a long time to see grandma tidy up all the things on the ground from the window, and then I stood up, turned around and walked out tremblingly.

Apparently grandma had acted so weirdly more than once.

I'm very strange, I want to know where grandma is going so late, but the night is so creepy,
In the end, I still didn't keep up.

Full of doubts, I stayed up until dawn. When I saw my grandma early in the morning, I asked about the weird behavior last night.

Grandma sat on the chair by the door very tired, she was so entangled by me that she couldn't help it, she sighed and said, "Tonight, you will go to the riverside with me."

I tilted my head and asked in confusion, "What are you doing by the river?"

Grandma's eyes showed melancholy, but she answered simply: "Go to worship!"

Go to the riverside to worship, but who do you worship?Grandpa?
On both sides of the Yuanjiang River, except for the barren slopes of the river beach, there are dense citrus forests.

Every night, the orange grove is gloomy, dark and quiet, which makes people feel chills on the back.

I took the seven chisel paper money and the seven sticks of incense, and followed my grandma to the riverside.

Tonight is the night of the full moon, a full moon in the sky, illuminating the river bank brightly.

The river flows down slowly, and the lights on the other side are reflected in the center of the river, sparkling far away and blurred.

On the surface of the river, there is a curl of water mist, and the downstream is like a dream, which is extremely mysterious.

The wind blowing from the river was a bit cold, and as the night got darker, the mist on the river surface became thicker and thicker.

I walked to the bank not far from the river with my grandma. Grandma put down the things in her hands and said to me: "Take out everything!"

Grandma squatted down and started laying stones. I took out the chicken blood rice and pork head meat from the bamboo basket, and opened up the incense paper money in a row.

After grandma built up the stones, she planted the incense one by one on the beach by the river, and then I followed grandma and knelt in front of the stone pile.

"Close your eyes, and don't open them no matter what you hear later."

I have been dependent on my grandmother since I was a child, and I have special feelings for her, and I obey everything she says.

After I closed my eyes, grandma began to mutter, the voice was exactly the same as what I heard last night.

Following grandma's voice, a strong wind began to blow by the river, and I heard the sound of splashing water and a tearing sound in my ears.

Moreover, this sound is slowly approaching, becoming clearer and clearer, accompanied by an unspeakable stench, and a clearer hissing sound in the ear.

My heart was beating wildly and I could barely keep my eyes open.

Grandma stretched out her hand and patted me on the back, and I couldn't help it.

After about two or three minutes, the hissing sound disappeared completely, and then I heard the sound of something entering the water.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now." Grandma let out a sigh of relief.

But when I opened my eyes and looked, I was shocked. The tribute in front of me had disappeared, and there was a wet water mark on the river beach in front of me.

The surface of the river was still rippling turbulently, with many bubbles coming out.
