Marvel's Dark Shadows

Zhang Tianci smiled at everyone and closed the door. w

Everyone is curious. The more scared they are, the more they want to see what happens.So some brave villagers secretly walked to the door, squatted down, squinted their eyes, and looked in through the crack in the door.

Everyone wants to see how Zhang Tianci gets his grandparents to talk, and they also want to know what his grandparents have to say.

Someone led them, and the villagers behind them also came up one after another, and they all leaned on the crack of the door to peek. In front of Zhang's house, there was a dense crowd of people.

Zhang Tianci knew that someone was peeking outside the door, but he didn't take it seriously. He just glanced at the door and opened it hurriedly.

Zhang Tianci picked up two pieces of paper money, rolled them into a thin tube, and then lit them on the candle in front of the soul.

After lighting the paper tube, Zhang Tianci blew out the open flame, letting the paper tube burn like a cigarette, and put it under his grandfather's nose.

Outside the door, everyone could hear Zhang Tianci chanting words, but they couldn't understand the specific content.

Two minutes later, the scene that everyone longed for and feared appeared - Lao Zhang straightened his back and sat up from the morgue!

"Ah..." A burst of shouting broke out outside the door, and the people peeping stumbled away.Who wouldn't be afraid when he suddenly sees Lao Zhang pretending to be a corpse?

But driven by curiosity, everyone did not run far.After running several zhang away, everyone stopped and saw that the gate of the Zhang family was still closed, so they turned back furtively.

Everyone looked through the crack in the door again and found that Tianci's grandma had also sat up, looking at Zhang Tianci with a smile on her face, her mouth open and closed, and she was saying something.

Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what Tianci's grandparents were saying, but at this moment, the paper tube in Zhang Tianci's hand burned out.

Lao Zhang and his wife leaned up and fell on the morgue.

Zhang Tianci opened the door and said, "Okay, my grandparents have finished talking. Please help take care of it. I'll buy a coffin."

Everyone was frightened and nodded from afar. On the mortuary bed, Lao Zhang and his wife looked peaceful, with a smile still on their lips.

Zhang Tianci packed up and took two fellow villagers to the town to buy a coffin.

But what everyone didn't expect was that when Zhang Tianci came back, he brought back five coffins!

Two people died, why five coffins?Everyone was dumbfounded.

"Tianci, why are you buying so many coffins?" Tianci's aunt couldn't help but asked.

"I have my own arrangements, don't worry." Zhang Tianci smiled and said calmly: "Aunt, my grandparents' bodies will be cremated and their ashes put into coffins. There is no need for a Feng Shui master to look at the cemetery. I will choose it myself."

Everyone was stunned and silent.

Under the auspices of Zhang Tianci, the bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were sent to the county funeral home and burned into a handful of ashes.

The next day, the five coffins of the Zhang family were carried out of the door and headed towards the cemetery in Nangang.

Zhang Tianci arranged a joint grave for his grandparents, above his parents' graves. But he dug up his parents' graves and divided them into two graves.

Then, Zhang Tianci buried a coffin on both sides of his parents' graves.Let these four tombs be lined up, running east to west.

The last coffin was buried under Zhang Tianci's parents' grave.

As a result, the tombs of the Zhang family turned into a strange cross shape.

As for who was buried in those three coffins, no one knew.Because Zhang Tianci nailed the lids of the three coffins on his own at night, and no one saw what was inside.However, according to the folks who carried the coffin, the coffin was very light and should be empty inside.

Some people also asked Zhang Tianci, but Zhang Tianci smiled and said nothing and did not reveal the situation of the three coffins.

When local people attend to funerals, they use Qihua paper. Counting from the day when a loved one dies, every seven days, one has to burn paper on the grave to pay homage. After seventy-nine days, the spiritual tablet is removed, commonly known as Qiji, which represents the complete end of the funeral.

On this day when Tianci’s grandparents died, Tianci set up another tombstone for their grandparents and parents.

There are no tombstones for the two graves next to the parents' graves.

And in front of the grave at his parents' feet, there was also a monument, on which was written: "Tomb of Zhang Tianci"!

Now people in the village understand that the last tomb was given to him by Zhang Tian.

"Tianci, why do you want to build a tomb and a monument for yourself?" The villagers couldn't bear it anymore and asked.

There are cases where living people build tombs.However, it is generally the royal family that builds imperial tombs. Construction of the imperial tombs starts while the emperor is still alive.There are even some activists who started choosing the cemetery as soon as the little prince was born.

There are also cases where living people erect monuments.For example, in this family, the old man went first, but the old woman was still there.Then when you erect a monument for the old man, you should also write the old woman's name on it.However, the writing method is very particular. The old woman’s name needs to be traced with red paint.This kind of red characters means that the person on the tombstone is still alive, but the tombstone was just erected in advance.

Zhang Tianci's situation is obviously unrelated to the above two.Everyone couldn't understand why he had to build a grave for himself at such a young age.Moreover, a tombstone was erected with black writing on the surface.

Faced with everyone's speculation and discussion, Zhang Tianci just smiled and said nonchalantly: "People are bound to die. In the future, the cemetery will be tense, so I will occupy a place first."

Everyone was speechless, knowing that nothing could be learned from the question, so they had no choice but to give up.

While Tianci was attending to the funerals of his grandparents, the college entrance examination results were released.

Unsurprisingly, Zhang Tianci got an excellent result in the exam, ranking third in liberal arts in the county, and ranked top of the list as Tanhualang.

With Zhang Tianci's college entrance examination results, he can go to a big city and choose any key university.

But Zhang Tianci did something incomprehensible. He chose a third-rate university in Jiangnan, the province, and enrolled in the ancient Chinese major, which was very unpopular.That university has an awesome name: Jiangnan Comprehensive University.In fact, it is only a little higher than Nanqiang Technical School.

The villagers felt that Tianci was lonely, so before Tianci started school, they spontaneously organized a farewell banquet to celebrate the birth of a college student in Shuanghuaishu Village and the birth of a county-level prodigy.

At the farewell banquet, some villagers asked: "Goddess, your scores are so high, why don't you go to a key university? Why do you go to Jiangnan to study?"

Zhang Tianci thought for a while, smiled slightly, and said, "Because... the female ghosts in Jiangnan are all beautiful."

The style of the painting suddenly changed. The villagers who were originally drinking and drinking were in a cold sweat because of Zhang Tianci's words.

On the third day after the farewell banquet, Zhang Tianci packed his luggage, said goodbye to the village, and reported to school.

There are several children in the village who have a good relationship with Tianci, and they went all the way to the county train station.

"Tianci, do you have to wait until the holidays before you can come back?" A guy named Han Xiaodong asked during the chat.

"Not necessarily, I can't say for sure." Zhang Tianci shook his head.

"I'm not sure what it means, idiot." Han Xiaodong asked.

Zhang Tianci pondered for a moment, pointed in the direction of his hometown, and said: "When you go back, let the villagers pay attention to a cemetery on Nangang. When all the lights on a hundred graves are lit, I will be back."

"The tomb... is lit? What, what does this mean?" Han Xiaodong and others stuttered, feeling cold to the core.Because these words from God came too suddenly and strangely.

"Don't ask too many questions. You will know when the time comes." Zhang Tianci smiled, waved and got on the train.

Han Xiaodong and others returned to the village anxiously.Speaking of Zhang Tianci's parting words, everyone in the village was a little confused, not knowing whether they were bad or good.

Someone with good intentions went to Nangang to count the graves. Including several graves belonging to Zhang Tianci's family, there were ninety-three in total.

Zhang Tianci said there were a hundred graves. Could it be that seven more people would die in the village before he came back?
