Chapter 22: Welcoming God
After a while, Lao Huang walked into the house with a coffincarnator.
Old Huang is a dog, and another coffincarnator is a rooster. He is in his thirties and is about one round younger than Old Huang.
However, age does not matter, what is important is the zodiac sign. The man is a new coffin carryr with his surname Xu and his name is Wangxin. Lao Huang said that he was introduced by a friend of his friend. He was very hard-working and very serious in his work.
I looked at Xu Wangxin. She was thin and tall, not outstanding in appearance. She was the kind of character that could not be found if she was thrown into the crowd.
I opened my backpack, took out two white candles from my bag, lit them, handed them to Lao Huang and Xu Wangxin, and told them to protect the candlelight from extinguishing.
Lao Huang and Xu Wangxin were stationed on the left and right, and their expressions were very serious.
I found a stool, climbed up, dipped it in some chicken blood, lit it in the center of the eyebrows of the corpse, then took out a pair of scissors, said "offend", and used scissors to cut off the white silk, and the stiff corpse slid to the ground with a thud.
I checked and found that there was nothing unusual about the body. All I had to do at this time was to send the body into the coffin.
However, in the mouth of the corpse-driver, it is taboo to talk about corpses. We call the corpse "God of Joy". The process of transporting the corpse is called "God of Joy", and the next thing I have to do is to welcome the God of Joy.
I asked Lao Huang and Xu Wangxin to hold the candles and stand on both sides of the door, then sprinkle some glutinous rice on the ground, sprinkle them from the room to the front of the double-layer coffin, and finally placed an incense burner in front of the coffin, with three incense sticks inserted into it.
After doing all this, I returned to the God of Joy and prepared to "light the sky lantern".
I rubbed my hands. This was the first time I personally tried to test my learning results over the past few days. In the morning, I successfully controlled the scarecrow, but I had not manipulated the real corpse. I felt a little nervous, afraid that something would happen and could not successfully welcome the God of Happiness. This face was so great!
I squatted beside the dead corpse, bit my right index finger, and at the same time I took out a piece of yellow paper, dipped in the blood on my fingertips and quickly drew a corpse-fixing talisman on the yellow paper, and then sandwiched it between my fingertips, and recited a spell with a solemn expression. Other coffin-carrying maker stood around, looking at me with admiration.
After chanting the spell, my wrist flipped and the yellow talisman immediately burned, turning into a small cluster of flames, judging slightly at my fingertips.
"Light the sky lantern to welcome the god of joy, duh!"
I made a low voice and reached out and pressed it between the eyebrows of the corpse. The small flames suddenly sank into the eyebrows of the corpse, igniting the "sky lantern". At that moment, I seemed to see two clusters of flames igniting in the pupils of the corpse, flashing away.
I was secretly glad that I didn't make a mistake, so I quickly got up, took off the corpse-guiding bell from my waist, shook it for a while, and said loudly: "The Yin people are on the road, and the Yang people are avoiding it! Get up!"
With this "up" sound, the originally stiff corpse actually sat up straight.
I shaking the corpse-spiriting bell rhythmically and moved out of the inner room step by step. Under my guidance, the dead corpse obediently walked out of the house, stepping on the glutinous rice spread on the ground, slowly moving towards the coffin. Every step, a black footprint was left on the glutinous rice ground, and black smoke was faintly emitted.
The body was followed by Lao Huang and Xu Wangxin, and they held candles in their hands to protect themselves.
Their zodiac signs are incompatible with the birth date of the dead corpse, so I can overcome evil spirits and have them following me, so I feel more at ease.
I guided the dead body to cross the incense burner and looked down. The three incense sticks in the incense burner did not break.
"Get in!"
I reached out and pushed open the lid of the coffin, and heard a pounce, and the dead body jumped into the coffin, lying straight on the bottom of the coffin without moving.
I sighed. Although the process of welcoming the God of Joy was not complicated, it made me sweat all over and covered with sweat beads on my face.
I thanked Lao Huang and Xu Wangxin and asked them to blow out the candles. Lao Huang gave me a thumbs up, and his tone became very respectful, and he actually called me "Jiu Master".
I waved my hands repeatedly. It was not the time to be proud. After all, there was still a body waiting for me to transport it.
Tong Tong's body was in the bedroom on the second floor. I asked Tong Tong's birth date and horoscopes to follow me upstairs.
"I can finally show up!" Lei Zi was the first to stand up. He is a tiger.
Then a coffin carryr born in the Year of the Ox also came out. I know this coffin carryr. I have been with Lao Huang before. I don’t know his real name, but I only know that everyone calls him Big Ox.
I asked the two of me to follow me, told them to be careful, and then followed me to the second floor.
The corridor was pitch black, which made people feel uncomfortable.
When I walked to the entrance of the corridor on the second floor, a cold wind blew in front of me, and the coldness was deeply shattered.
Looking around, the entire second floor seemed to be wrapped in fog, and it was dark everywhere. I couldn't see my fingers, and even the corridors upstairs could not be seen, as if I was in a strange dark world, and I could hear the sound of the turbulent wind in my ears.
"Jiujizi, what's going on?" Leizi asked with a chill.
"It's so good, why is there such a big fog?" Daniu was also confused.
"This is not fog, it's evil spirit! The evil spirit here is quite strong. Follow me and don't run around!" As I said, I took out the yellow paper from my bag, quickly recited a string of spells, raised my hand and threw out the yellow paper, shouting: "Broken!"
The yellow paper flying all over the sky suddenly burned, forcing the black evil spirit before retreating.
However, after walking forward for a few steps, the black evil spirit that had originally retreated made a comeback, rushing up from all directions like a tide, swallowing us up again.
"Light the candle!" I said in a deep voice.
The wind was too strong, and Lei Zi and Da Niu tried to light the candle several times, but they all failed.
"The wind is too strong, it won't burn..." Lei Zi said anxiously.
I reached out to pick out two pieces of yellow paper, shook it twice, and the yellow paper burned.
Although the wind is very strong, it cannot blow out the burning yellow paper. I use yellow paper to help them light the candles, and then let them protect the candles. Never let the candle fire be extinguished.
"Once you find that the candlelight is unstable, you can bite the tip of your index finger and drip a little blood, and the candlelight will not go out!" I said to Lei Zi and Da Niu, and the two nodded, looking very nervous.
In fact, it was the first time I encountered this situation. I was naturally very nervous, but I didn’t turn back. Since I have all come here, I can’t retreat. Moreover, at this time, I can’t show any nervousness and fear, otherwise Lei Zi and Da Niu would be even more uncontrollable.
We walked along the corridor step by step to the end. The bedroom at the end of the corridor was Tong Tong's death scene.
Although I was in the dark, I seemed to be able to see a lot of evil spirits rolling out from the bedroom like thick smoke.
When I arrived at the bedroom door, the door was covered with a faint smell of blood in the air.
