Chapter 175 Broken Fragrance

In fact, if it is an ordinary coffin, there may not be such a complicated procedure.

However, what we are going to carry tonight is a big red coffin. I must be careful and no mistakes can be made in all aspects.

So before I leave the coffin, I am going to do a simple incense ceremony.

What is the purpose of incense? It is to communicate with the things in the coffin, give him a message, respect him a stick of incense, and remind him not to do anything randomly.

Lei Zi placed an incense burner on the lid of the coffin. The incense burner was the size of a palm and was quaint, and it was left by Chen Xiucai. The edges of the incense burner were black with ashes, but they looked even more simple and sacred.

I took out the best pine fragrance from the temple. This pine fragrance is expensive, brown and slightly white. It is made of high-quality pine wood. It has a light and fragrant smell and smells very good. When I can't sleep, I will tinker with one, which will soon soak the heart.

I lit a stick of incense, folded my hands together, and said loudly to the big red coffin, "The corpse-driver Xiao Jiu, the coffin-carrying maker Shi Lei, I have worshipped you in advance. I hope you can sell your face and not cause any trouble on the road. Thank you!"

As I said that, I held the incense horizontally with my hands, raised the incense over my head, bowed three times to the big red coffin, and then took a step forward and inserted the incense into the incense burner.

I nodded to Leizi: "Let's go!"

Lei Zi nodded and immediately called other coffin holders to do their work.

These coffin carryrs have good professional qualities, and they have a tacit understanding of cooperation. Some are binding dragon coffins, while others are binding keel bones, and they are all busy. Soon, they tied the big red coffin tightly. Two thick keel bones passed through the left and right sides of the dragon coffin, and were just put in a rope sleeve made of dragon tendons.

Crack!

Lei Zi smashed a porcelain bowl to the ground, shouted in a specific tone: "Get up————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Lei Zi, Lao Huang, Second Brother, and Wooden Stick stood on the four corners of the coffin. The tiger's waist exerted force and stood up swayingly with the big red coffin. Behind him, Xiao Fei and sweet potato, one of them carried a long bench on his back, and then he left the gate of the Mountain Temple.

I walked in the front of the team. Because it was not a corpse driving, I didn't need to take out the corpse-induced bell. I just symbolically scattered a handful of yellow paper into the night sky when I stepped out of the threshold. When the wind blew, the yellow paper scattered everywhere.

The village at night is particularly quiet, especially on winter nights, where you can’t even see a figure on the road, it’s dark everywhere, there are no insects and frogs in the fields, and everything seems dead and deep.

Our group carried the big red coffin and passed through the village along the ridge of the field. The scene was still a bit strange.

I held up an oil lamp and led the way in front.

It was a copper oil lamp, and it was also something in the mountain temple. Chen Xiucai used to use it. The outside of the oil lamp was covered with an octagonal glass cover to protect the oil lamp inside from being blown out by the wind. There was an arc-shaped brass handle on it, and the surface of the handle was carved with a circle of patterns. Because it was old and it was smooth to the touch, the brass on the surface had fallen off a lot, making it look dark.

When I walked to the entrance of the village, I suddenly heard a strange rattle sound, like a duck's chirping.

When I looked up, I saw a few black crows standing on the bare branches at the entrance of the village, calling at us.

In this dead winter night, the crows' screams are terrifying.

A strange feeling appeared in my heart. I couldn't say what it felt, but it was a little cold anyway.

Many things are taboo when doing our business.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, they just saw a few crows, and there was nothing to make a fuss.

But we are different. In my opinion, it seems that when we just left the village, we met a crow called mourning. This is somewhat unlucky.

Because among the people, crows are often regarded as ominous symbols by people. For this reason, there is a saying that "crows are called mourning", and when crows are called, someone will die.

Although this statement is a bit absurd and it feels like it is a crime that has been imposed on the crow, it is better to avoid encountering crows during the mourning process. It is better to avoid encountering animals such as black cats, but in fact they are all to prevent shock.

Regarding Jingsha, I have seen it with my own eyes on Boss Lu's construction site. It was so terrible. After a corpse, it immediately turned into a zombie.

On the tree branches, the crows were still clamoring.

I was a little upset and was about to urge Leizi and the others to speed up and pass through the entrance of the village.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Lao Huang exclaim in a low voice: "Oh no!"

"What's wrong?" I turned around and raised the oil lamp. The dim light shone on the big red coffin, illuminating the faces of Lao Huang and the coffin holders like ghosts.

Lao Huang said: "The incense burner...the incense in the burner... seems to be broken..."

"What?!"

I was shocked suddenly and immediately looked at the coffin. My heart immediately sank, and a cool breeze penetrated into my heart.

This is really bad!

The incense that was originally inserted in the incense burner was broken at this time. The broken incense thread was penetrated into the ashes of the furnace and had been extinguished, leaving only a wisp of cigarette floating out quietly.

If the incense is successful and the deceased in the coffin accepts our sincerity, then the incense will slowly burn to the end and eventually extinguish itself.

If the incense is not successful, the incense thread will break inexplicably when it burns halfway through, which means that the deceased in the coffin does not accept our kindness.

Although everything is absolutely absolutely true, after all, no sign of the fragrance is definitely not a good sign, but a bad sign!

I quietly held up the oil lamp, watching the broken incense stick not speak, the cold wind whipped me like a whip, the expression on my face gradually solidified, and both thick eyebrows were twisted together.

Lao Huang and the coffin carryrs had bad looks, and they knew very well what the meaning of broken fragrance meant.

Lei Zi coughed twice to calm everyone's emotions: "No need to make a fuss. A gust of wind just now, maybe... maybe it was broken by the wind!"

What Lei Zi said is not impossible, but it is obvious that everyone does not accept this explanation in their hearts.

Lei Zi raised his chin at me: "Oh, Jiuyizi, light another stick of incense! Light another stick of incense to see!"

I nodded, took out a pine incense from my pocket, lit it, then held it in my palm, raised it above my head, and bowed three times to the red coffin. My voice was torn apart by Ye Feng and became fragmented: "The corpse-driver Xiao Jiu... The coffin-carrying maker Shi Lei... I will invite you to incense... I hope you can sell us a face..."

I gritted my teeth, stepped forward, and tried to insert the pine wood into the incense burner again.

Just as I inserted my hands firmly, my hands were released one second before, and a cold wind blew in the next second.

This yin wind came very strangely, obviously different from the cold wind just now.

The strangest thing is that this yin wind... this yin wind actually seemed to emerge from the incense burner, and suddenly rolled up the ashes inside the incense burner and flew all over the sky.

Fortunately, I was responsive and quickly took a step back to prevent the fire from hitting my face.

But even so, my clothes were stained with a lot of ashes, making me feel embarrassed.

I was shocked and immediately looked at the incense burner, but I saw that the pine wood incense was gone.

This time, not only was the incense thread gone, but even the ash in the furnace was overturned. It seemed that the things in the coffin were not worthy of our account at all!

A chill broke out on my spine. Judging from this situation, this journey is probably a bit of a bad chance!

Lei Zi cursed, "Damn it! He really doesn't want to eat a toast. Jiu Jizi, don't be polite to him, give him some color!"

Matchstick shouted, "Hey, Leizi, don't shake your arms, we're almost unable to lift them!"

Leizi said strangely: "No! When did I tremble?"

Then I heard my second brother shouting: "It's not us shaking, it's the coffin...it's the coffin moving..."

The coffin is moving?!

I gasped and looked at the coffin. Sure enough, I saw the big red coffin. For some reason, it shook and trembled, making a slight sound. It sounded like this silent night, making my scalp numb.

How could the coffin move?

Could it be that the things in the coffin are causing trouble?

The four coffin carryrs were originally standing in a corner, and their strength was just balanced. Now the coffin shook, breaking the balance of strength. The four coffin carryrs were suddenly a little busy and could not hold back the keel on their shoulders. If this continues, I am afraid that the coffin will fall to the ground.

If the coffin lands on the ground halfway, it is even more taboo.

The blue veins on Lao Huang's neck swelled up and he shouted at sweet potato and Xiaofei: "Sweet potato, Xiaofei, get the bench quickly!"

Neither sweet potato nor Xiaofei had seen this situation before. At first, he was still stunned. After Lao Huang's voice, the two of them came to their senses. They quickly took off the long bench from their backs and quickly placed it under the coffin.

Lao Huang's teeth choked: "Brothers, keep it steady, let it go slowly! Let it go slowly..."

boom!

The big red coffin was dullly mounted on two long benches, and the bench legs instantly fell into more than half an inch below the ground, which made us sweat in a cold sweat.

We widened our eyes in disbelief, but even so, the big red coffin had not stopped and was still swaying around. It seemed that something was struggling in the coffin, trying to crawl out of it.

"Jiujizi, what's going on?" Leizi asked me.

I had a gloomy face and didn't make a sound, because I didn't know what was going on.

Lei Zi pointed to the coffin and said, "Jiujizi, think of a way to calm it down!"

I shouted in a deep voice, pulled out the corpse-driven whip from my waist, shook my wrist, and the corpse-driven whip made a whistling sound through the air, and whipped three consecutive whip whips on the coffin, leaving three clearly visible whip marks on the surface of the coffin.

The corpse was driven away and the whip was used to drive away evil spirits, and immediately suppressed the evil spirit in the coffin.

After three whips, the coffin stopped shaking.
