After passing through a forest, there was a small town with dim lights ahead. After a night of driving, the corpse behind was dancing tirelessly, and the pair of straw sandals on the old man's feet were also worn out. Chen Xiao originally wanted to give
The old man had a pair of shoes, but he refused to change them no matter what, and said that people who walk around always wear straw sandals.
Dangdang...
When passing by the town, the old man rang the gong, and the few households in the town with lights on also turned off the lights. The original barking of dogs soon stopped.
Smoking while passing through the town.
"Aren't you going to spend the night here today?" Chen Xiao asked curiously.
"No, we have to hurry!" The old man shook his head and said, "I have been delayed for a long time, and I must make up for the time."
"Old man, if you ask me, you can just drive a car, pile the corpses directly into the car, and then drive back!" Chen Xiao laughed and said, "Why walk hundreds of kilometers to bring these corpses back!"
Snap...
The old man tapped Chen Xiao on the head with his cigarette pole and said: "You have just started to get started, and you are already starting to point out these things? Let me tell you, the job of exorcising corpses has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it has not been done in all generations.
If you have done this, why should I start gesticulating when I get here?"
"Hey, weren't there cars a few hundred years ago?" Chen Xiao grinned and said, "Now that there are cars, we can start to change."
"Go!" The old man glared at him angrily and said, "What walking people care about is the process of walking. This is a process of cultivation. In this process, you refine yourself and temper yourself. If you do this,
Speaking of transporting it by car, not to mention the loss in expenses, there was no hardship at all along the way."
"That's true!" Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Traveling thousands of miles is like reading thousands of books."
Chen Xiao suddenly realized that what others have been doing all their lives is not what he is doing now? No wonder the ancients said that the authorities are blind to the beholder. He is traveling thousands of miles, but he is instructing others to take shortcuts. Chen Xiao began to laugh at himself, it seems that he is indeed
Not a qualified student.
Next, Chen Xiao was silent for a long time. It was the old man who was telling Chen Xiao some things inside the door, and Chen Xiao was memorizing them silently. Seeing the sky turning white, the old man stuffed his cigarette rod into his clothes.
Inside, he said: "Hurry up, we will reach Yangcun soon. When we get to Yangcun, there will be one less corpse!"
"Is it about to be delivered?" Chen Xiao was stunned.
"That's right, hurry up!" The old man suddenly sped up a lot. Although the old man was short in stature, he walked very neatly. Chen Xiao followed quickly, while controlling the six corpses behind him,
We drove quickly. After walking for half an hour, we finally arrived at Yangcun. At the intersection of Yangcun, many people had gathered, including the cries of some women.
A young woman, wearing white mourning clothes, stumbled towards the old man and Chen Xiao with the support of several people. She sobbed: "Master, you are finally here. Where is my man?"
"We are approaching the battle..." The old man muttered for a while, and from the row of corpses, the body of a young man came out. As soon as the woman saw him, she immediately rushed towards him. The old man hurriedly stopped her and said: "Burn in the grave"
For peace of mind, he has been on the road for several days and he is tired!"
"Husband, you died so miserably!" the woman Taotao cried loudly. Chen Xiao felt very sad at the side. She lost her husband at such a young age, and she still has a long life ahead. It is very taboo to remarry in rural areas.
Especially in remote mountainous areas like western Hunan. Chen Xiao could even predict that the woman's life would be lonely and she would never remarry.
The family members of the deceased hurriedly gave way. Driven by the old man, the corpse jumped step by step over a brazier. Then, it jumped into the mourning hall, and then with the help of several young men on the left and right, it was directly put into the pot.
In the coffin, the old man walked up, muttered something, and finally took the coffin from his head.
He took off the two yellow runes and put the two runes with the man's birth date in the brazier and burned them to ashes. The old man said: "The dead rest in peace, the living are strong. He died, this is just a
Initially, his soul will be reincarnated as a human being. So, don’t be too sad.”
"Master, thank you!" The man's parents hurriedly expressed their gratitude and secretly stuffed a red envelope into the old man. The old man knew exactly how much money was in the red envelope, because the price was negotiated from the beginning. The old man stuffed the red envelope skillfully.
After opening their pockets, the old couple wiped away their tears and said, "Master, come in and rest and have something to eat."
"Okay, then I'll settle down the other 'people' first!" The old man smiled.
According to the rules, when the old man brought the body back, he had to watch it being buried, then eat and drink with the family for a day, and stay for a day. On the surface, it was to save the soul, but in fact it was just to eat and drink. As the old man’s apprentice, Chen Xiao
Naturally, I moved in with him. However, the conditions in the countryside were not very good. The room was simply equipped with a wooden bed, a clean blanket, and nothing else.
After the body was laid to rest, the family began to mourn. Chen Xiao had been watching. The young woman and the parents of the deceased were crying hard. Some of the cousins on the side were talking and laughing, as if it was an incident.
and
Things that have nothing to do with us. Chen Xiao suddenly sighed, when we were born, everyone around us laughed; when we died, everyone around us cried. Only our relatives are sincere to us, and all of this is
It has nothing to do with others.
Our parents, the other half of our lives, and our children, these are all we have in life. The so-called money will not be taken away after life and death. Wealth is not money, but relatives. When Chen Xiao thought of his dead parents, he still
There are those innocent folks in Wumen Village,
The energy in my heart is surging crazily, and the red lotus on my chest is also trembling unsteadily. Red light surrounds the lotus platform. The golden dragon reliefs on the lotus platform are also swimming at this time, as if they are always ready.
Break away from the shackles of the lotus platform and prepare to soar into the nine heavens.
"Little master, have a sip of tea!" The old woman brought Chen Xiao a cup of tea.
"Thank you!" Chen Xiao thanked him hurriedly, and asked curiously: "Old man, what happened to your son?"
"Oh, he was working out of town and died in a car accident. But the driver who caused the accident escaped!" The old woman wiped her tears and cried: "What a damn driver, he hit and killed someone and just walked away like this. I
Curse him to die a good death!"
As he spoke, the power of the curse was transmitted into the air. At this moment, Chen Xiao clearly felt the power of resentment. It turns out that a person's curse can really take effect. Of course, a person's curse is not strong.
, but if there are more people, it may really be effective.
"You seem to understand something again?" the old man's voice came from behind.
Chen Xiao hurriedly turned his head and said with a smile: "I seem to have discovered that curses and prayers are really effective."
"That's right, your understanding is very strong!" The old man cast an approving look at Chen Xiao and said with a smile: "Many walkers will not be able to understand this in their entire lives. What on earth do you do? You are so strong.
Comprehension ability? Could it be that he is a natural genius?"
"Isn't it true that you teach me well, master?" Chen Xiao leisurely slapped him in the face.
"Go, don't put gold on me!" The old man glared at him and said, "I know what I taught you. However, I still have to tell you that walking around is just a sideways approach. Are you interested?
Just take a look, if you really want to learn from a master, you still have to go to those big sects. After all, they have shortcuts for promotion, and they have the guidance of famous teachers, which will make your promotion faster!"
I have to say that the old man's heart is really speechless. If he were a person from other sects and met such a good wizard, he would have taken him into his sect long ago. For someone like the old man to send himself to other sects,
I really don’t see him that often. For this reason, the old man deserves my respect.
"Old man, please don't talk about yourself like that!" Chen Xiao said with a smile: "Actually, it's not bad to follow you. I can see the world, wander around a bit, and maybe even see wild mandarin ducks. Master, please go first
Come on, apprentice, I will follow you soon!"
"Haha, I can't do it anymore. I'm old, and I can't do it even if I see wild mandarin ducks!" The old man waved his hand hurriedly.
In the morning, the family started the funeral. A group of people carried the coffin and walked out the door. A hole had been dug on the mountain. Lime, grass ashes... were all ready. They beat gongs and drums all the way, cried and knelt down... finally
The coffin was carried up the mountain. Everything was ready on the mountain. Firecrackers went off and the coffin was lowered into the pit. The young woman and the parents of the deceased cried their hearts out.
At this moment, the coffin bearers and those accompanying them began to beg for money, and the parents of the deceased could only start to pay tremblingly. However, this group of people was not satisfied, and complained one by one: "So little?
Aunt Yang, the prices have increased now, why are you still paying according to the rules ten years ago?"
"Oh, it's not like you don't know the situation of our family!" The old woman sighed and said, "The son is dead, the driver ran away, the money was not compensated, and the people are gone. Please be considerate!"
"That's not possible, we are working hard too!" A group of coffin bearers said helplessly: "If you don't give me the money now, we won't put down the coffin."
"You..." The old woman gritted her teeth and looked at her son's coffin being hung in the air. This was a very unlucky thing in the countryside. Moreover, it was noon, and the best time for burial had arrived. If it was not buried,
, I missed the best opportunity, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to reincarnate as a human being in my next life. The old woman was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
Similarly, at this time, the young woman stood up leisurely, then took off a gold ring from her hand, and said: "This is the engagement ring for my wedding, and it is also the only gift my husband bought me. This ring is worth three
It’s more than a thousand yuan. I’ll sell the ring later and I’ll pay you the money. I just ask you to bury my husband as soon as possible!”
