Chapter 239 The Last Ride
"Go and have a last look!"
Qu Wen patted Gu Yuan on the shoulder, then winked at Ailing, and the two walked out of the spirit shed silently.
In the huge spiritual shed, Gu Yuan was alone at this moment.
After a moment, Gu Yuan turned around stiffly and looked at the coffin placed in the center of the spiritual shed.
Gu Yuan walked forward, reached out and gently stroked the elderly coffin, and smiled and said, "It's been more than 20 years, and I'll use you."
Gu Yuan knew why the second master wanted to go back to Wolong Village because his lucky coffin was there.
Guyuan is more familiar with the second master's coffin than the second master himself.
This lucky coffin was beaten by the second great-grandfather when he was 73 years old. There is an old saying in the countryside that says, 73, walk around the gates of hell.
It means that the seventy-three is a sad hurdle. If you can't get over it, you can't get over it. Once you go over it, you can survive for several years.
It just so happened that the second master had a serious old age in those years. He probably felt that he could not survive the 73rd hurdle, so he mobilized everyone to help him get the coffin and put it in the backyard.
Unexpectedly, the second master not only survived, but also became more and more tough over the years.
So, this lucky coffin was placed in the backyard for more than 20 years. Back then, Gu Yuan and his group of boys liked to play in the lucky coffin, pretending to be zombies and playing with the Taoist priests catching ghosts!
As time passed, Guyuan, who had grown up gradually, almost forgot about the existence of this blessing coffin.
I never thought that it still appeared today.
Gu Yuan walked around the dark coffin, stroked his palm over the uneven painted surface on the coffin, and said to himself: "I fell asleep so quickly, don't you feel uncomfortable?"
The second master's life is very long. After ninety-nine years, Gu Yuan walked ninety-nine steps around the coffin before he dared to stop.
Standing at the head of the coffin, Gu Yuan took a deep breath and then leaned out into the coffin.
An old man was lying in the coffin cleanly and tidy, with a kind and slightly solemn face, completely unrelated to the time when he was in front of the second master.
This made Gu Yuan feel unreal.
"I've been smiling all my life, I'll be honest this time!"
Gu Yuan said, with red eyes, picked up the towel placed beside him, and carefully wiped the second master's face and hands, meticulously.
After Gu Yuan finished all this, he realized that there were already people standing behind him without realizing it.
The horse was carrying a tiger with tears in his eyes and sobbed with tears in his eyes. Uncle Daniu's majestic body was as a child as aggrieved.
Tie Niu, Da Zhuang and others rushed back, and one familiar face after another stood outside the spirit shed.
"Xiao Gu, let the second master go!" Da Zhuang said in a low voice.
Gu Yuan paused: "According to the rules, don't you have to stop the soul for three days?"
Dazhuang explained: "It's the second master's intention. He doesn't want to be chasing him by so many people after he dies."
"You know, the second master is the most annoying. If it weren't for the last time, he would have been buried yesterday!" Da Zhuang said in a trembling voice.
After hearing Dazhuang's words, Gu Yuan put the small objects that the second master often used during his lifetime into the coffin one by one.
Finally, Gu Yuan took a deep breath, walked outside the spirit shed and shouted loudly: "Send the Second Grandpa for the last journey!"
"Send the last journey!"
With this loud shout, all the Wolong Village people present knelt down one after another, some cried and some kowtowed.
But without exception, everyone sent me off from the bottom of their hearts.
When the villagers finished worshiping the second master, Gu Yuan and Dazhuang, they personally sealed the coffin for the second master!
After getting the coffin, Gu Yuan walked on the road leading to the Wolong Village Cemetery. He really hoped that this road would be longer and it would be better not to finish it.
Because once the coffin is buried, there will be no second master in this world.
Due to the earthquake, the funeral of the second master was very simple, not as many tedious etiquette and rules as before, and everything was simple.
In addition, it was a joyful and there was no need to deliberately create a sad atmosphere, so after returning from the cemetery, everyone quickly became busy again.
As night fell, Gu Yuan sat in front of the lit bonfire and stared blankly at the bonfire in front of him.
"Are you better?"
Sitting alone uninvited by Gu Yuan.
Gu Yuan's eyes turned and he saw a familiar figure, which was Da Niu.
The big bull looked at Gu Yuan with distress and said, "When the second master left, the one he cared about the most was you."
"On the way back to the village, the second master said a lot to me. He talked about you the most, and when he talked about you, he laughed the most."
"The second master said, Gu Yuan, although he is usually quite steady, he is actually a child who never grows up. Only the child will hold himself."
"The second master also said that our generation has come, and we have been bleeding and sweating all our lives on this barren land. Now it is your turn to guard this land of our ancestors."
"The second master doesn't want it, because of his death, you are too sad."
Speaking of this, Big Newton paused, his voice became much lower, and he slowly said: "The Second Master said, he was sorry for you, he couldn't save your parents back then!"
Speaking of this, Gu Yuan's tears finally couldn't control them and fell countless times.
"I don't blame him, how could I blame him?" Gu Yuan cried like a child.
Gu Yuan had a strange disease that year. After searching for doctors nearby, he didn't get better. The second master remembered an earthen prescription and said that there was a kind of wild grass in Wolong Mountain that could cure Gu Yuan's disease.
At that time, Gu Yuan's parents planned to go to the mountain to collect herbs, but they didn't expect to meet Heixiazi.
Gu Yuan's parents also died that time. In order to save the person, the second master also injured his lungs.
After that incident, the second master felt that he had harmed Gu Yuan's parents and felt guilty, so he loved Gu Yuan very much since he was a child.
Looking at Gu Yuan who was crying, Da Niu sighed, took out a jade ring from his pocket and handed it to Gu Yuan.
"This is the second master's treasure, I'll leave it to you."
Gu Yuan took the green and warm ring and put it in the palm of his hand. This was the second grandfather's favorite object during his lifetime.
Gu Yuan was very confused before, why did the second master's ring disappear? He didn't expect it to be here.
Daniu explained: "This is what the second master gave to me when he was at the entrance of the village, and he said he would leave it to you for a thought."
After saying that, the big bull shook his head and left with a sigh.
Gu Yuan sat by the campfire and slowly put the second master's ring on his thumb that he had worn for a lifetime.
However, the moment the jade ring was put on Gu Yuan's finger, Gu Yuan was shocked.
Because this jade ring actually reacted with the Immortal Palace!
"This, this is!"
Feeling the heat coming from the ring, Gu Yuan widened his eyes and a towering green door appeared in the fairy palace without any warning, majestic and solemn!
"So, you've always known it!"
