Chapter 213 The Taoist who dug the grave

The hall was filled with red candles and swaying figures.

It was originally a festive scene, but with the coffin placed in the middle, all the joy turned into a strange scene. Even the guests present felt their hearts trembling.

"Worship the heaven and the earth..."

Someone shouted loudly with a trembling voice.

There are three people in the hall, one of them is holding a spiritual tablet, which represents the groom. One of them is supporting the bride in her wedding dress, but the bride's limbs are stiff, which makes it a little more weird.

Song You, Sanhua Empress, and the gray-clothed swordsman all stood nearby, each staring at the scene in front of them. One had a calm expression, one had curious eyes, and the other had cold eyes.

The young lady of the Cao family also stood behind them, with a timid face.

"Two bows to the high hall..."

"Husband and wife pay homage..."

The young lady of the Cao family standing next to the swordsman in gray stared blankly at the scene in front of her, clenching her teeth, trembling all over with hatred and fear, tears streaking down her face, she couldn't stand still and fell to the ground.

The gray-robed swordsman quickly helped her up.

I stood up, but still couldn't stand steady.

"Don't be afraid."

Until the Taoist's voice came from beside me.

This voice seemed to have the ability to calm people's minds. As soon as she heard it, her heart really calmed down a bit, and her fear was reduced by a third. No more, no less, just enough for her to maintain her posture.

It would not cause her to lose the emotions she should have here and now.

"I and my companions will be able to keep me safe, and these people in the hall will still receive their punishment and retribution." Song You said to her in a low voice, so as not to be heard by others, "However, the matter has come to this, and the most urgent thing is to ask your Majesty.

Think about where to go in the future, and if you want any compensation, you can raise it later."

The woman was speechless and did not answer.

Song You also continued to look forward.

I never expected that when I arrived at the edge of Angzhou and Hezhou, the place would already be in such chaos. I also didn’t expect that when I went to the north, I didn’t see monsters yet, but I saw people who looked like monsters first.

The sound of blowing and beating ahead is still there.

However, after the ceremony, the bride was not sent to the bridal chamber, but was pushed into the coffin.

The bride is a dummy, so she has no struggle.

Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine how cruel the scene is at this moment.

"laugh……"

The coffin lid was slowly closed.

The young lady of the Cao family trembled again and her legs became weak. Fortunately, there was a swordsman supporting her - if these two people hadn't come here today, she would have been sealed in the coffin at this moment.

There was another burst of blowing and beating.

The trumpets that were played just now were joyful, but now they have turned into mourning and joy. The connection between the two is almost seamless, but the change is so sudden that it makes people feel uncomfortable.

Immediately, several middle-aged women knelt down in front of the coffin, wailing loudly, as if they were attending a funeral.

The old man of the Ding family came to Song You again.

"Sir, it's time for burial."

"..."

Song You nodded and said nothing.

"Funeral!"

Someone shouted.

It was the same group of people carrying the sedan chair just now, I don't know if they were the foot bearers who were specialized in carrying coffins. They raised the coffin with a shout. But just now they carried the sedan chair through the door, and now they were carrying the coffin out again.

Everyone followed and followed him out.

Song You glanced at the young lady beside him and knew that she would not dare to stay alone in the house, so he turned around and said: "If I can still move, please follow us and meet the high-ranking official who has named me to be buried with you."

If you can't walk anymore, please let my companion stay with you. Don't worry, this companion is very skilled in martial arts and is the number one swordsman in the world today. He will definitely keep you safe."

"..."

This little lady was only ten years old, and she was really scared to the extreme. However, she turned her head and glanced at him, and then stumbled forward.

Seeing this, Song You followed him.

Along the way, gongs and drums were being beaten, firecrackers were blasting, making loud noises, paper money flying, and the smell of smoke filling the air. Along with the unique shouts of the Tie-Tie Gang and strong local characteristics, they passed through half of the village.

"Jasmine is the most fragrant..."

"Hey..."

I don't know how many people were woken up in the middle. The villagers were more or less aware of the incident. At this moment, they all got up, opened the windows and looked outside.

Song You noticed these glances.

Some are very numb, some are purely curious, some are resentful, and some seem to find it novel and exciting.

It wasn't until someone saw the Taoist priest walking at the end, the swordsman and the young lady of the Cao family who should have been in the coffin that they showed signs of surprise. After the funeral procession had gone away, they couldn't help but whisper.

The sound of discussion also reached the ears of the Taoist.

"Didn't you say that the young lady of the Cao family was going to be buried together? Why is the young lady of the Cao family still there?"

"I just said that the Ding family cannot do such a thing!"

"Mostly, it's because I'm afraid of the government."

"The Ding family is still afraid of the government?"

"..."

The Taoist kept his expression unchanged and walked forward calmly.

The night wind blew and the candlelight flickered, making it difficult to tell whether it was smoke or fog.

Gradually we reached the halfway point of a hill.

Song You doesn't understand Feng Shui, so he can't see the magic here, but from his point of view, there may not be any mystery in Feng Shui.

The tomb has been repaired, and the burial time has been calculated. Everything was decided by the master. For a big family like the Ding family, all procedures and rituals are indispensable.

Song You just stood and watched silently.

There was a howling sound ahead, the burning paper money was blown by the wind, and sparks flew everywhere.

The scent of the incense candle is very strong.

"Crack, crackle..."

The sound of firecrackers echoed in the mountains.

According to local custom, after the burial, relatives should put poplar branches on their heads and go home quickly without looking back, so a group of people walked back with lanterns.

The lights in the mountains formed a line.

"gentlemen……"

The old man walked up to Song You again.

Facing the rich man who decided to put the person into a coffin and bury him alive, Song You still smiled and said to him: "Old man, the dummy I made out of grass and trees can't be too far away from me. If it is too far away from me, I'm afraid I will immediately

It will turn back into vegetation again. Based on my guess, it may take a while for Ling Sun and the Cao family's young lady to be buried here together to realize the effect of changing the feng shui. So please go back first and stay here for a while.

, to ensure that the family has peace of mind."

"Oh, thank you very much, sir." The old man saluted quickly, "How dare you let your husband wait here alone? I asked a few young men to accompany you here."

"It's no use having too many people, so please come back."

"..."

When the old man heard this, he was doubtful, but he did not dare to refute such a metaphysical thing. What's more, there was an accident at home some time ago, several people died in succession, there were ghosts wandering around in the middle of the night, and tonight's clear night seemed like the gods were angry.

Thunderbolt frightened him so much that he didn't dare to question it for a moment, so he had no choice but to agree.

"I wonder when sir will be back?"

"Maybe before dawn, maybe after dawn."

"I'm waiting for you sir."

"Please come back..."

"This little lady from the Cao family..."

"The little lady was so frightened that she didn't dare to believe you anymore, so she stayed with us, and then we took her back with us."

"Thank you sir..."

The old man nodded, and with the help of his younger generation, left without looking back.
To be continued...
