Chapter 40: The Arranged Dream (Part II)
Ma Ling'er: "I haven't seen it, that person just said that he was from Weijia Village." ”
Gu Yunqing said in surprise: "Weijia Village?"
Ma Ling'er was even more surprised when she heard this, so she asked, "What's wrong, auntie?"
Maybe Gu Yunqing didn't want to scare Ma Ling'er, so he casually prevaricated: "Ah, it's nothing, it's just, it's just a little far away from us." ”
Ma Linger didn't care, and said, "It's really a bit far." ”
Gu Yunqing was also afraid that something would happen, so he could only say to Ma Ling'er first: "By the way, Ling'er, is the ingots folded?"
Ma Linger replied, "It's already folded." ”
Gu Yunqing replied: "If it's folded, go to bed early, there will be something busy tomorrow night." ”
Ma Linger replied, "Oh, good godaunt. ”
Maybe Ma Linger has been in the store all day and hasn't gone outside, so there is no news, but since Gu Yunqing let himself go to bed early, he will definitely go to bed early.
After some washing, Ma Linger blew out the light and prepared to sleep, but when she was lying on the bed, she always felt that something was missing, but she couldn't remember what was missing for a while, so she still fell asleep.
During the day the next day, Ma Ling'er was still the same, looking at the store in the store, and in the evening, Ma Ling'er closed and came to Lao Zhang's house at the head of the village, and followed Gu Yunqing to deal with some things, because the family eats this mouthful, although Gu Yunqing's Taoism is not very good, but here is a poor mountain and remote area, and within a radius of thirty miles, there is no Taoist priest, so people here will still ask Gu Yunqing for help. And Gu Yun cleared the responsible practice, and he was also responsible for the acupoints, as well as the soul attraction or something.
Tonight is the day of Zhang Gong's burial, although it is superstition, if there is no Taoist priest on the side, then the family will always have a bad life in the future.
This was done until three o'clock in the morning, when the coffin was lifted out and placed in the courtyard to wait for tomorrow noon on the road. The filial sons and grandsons are going to keep a vigil outside here tonight, and the others go home to rest.
Gu Yunqing went home with Ma Ling'er to rest.
The next day, the bandits also began to act, the third master was at the gate of the stockade, riding a horse, and yelled to the people behind him: "Little ones, today, but on the big day of our stockade, you will prepare the wine and meat first, and we will go back." ”
The old Zhang family, also began to move, like in the countryside, when the old man went out of the funeral, the first to walk was by the four boys, holding the paper in front of the guide, the Taoist priest and the flower boy followed, followed by the eight immortals carrying the coffin, the eldest filial son walked in front of the coffin, the coffin followed by the funeral team, and the last was the funeral crowd and two suona. In this way, the team set off to the grave dug last night.
And Ma Linger happened to be the flower girl this time, but it was not flowers, but paper money.
After walking for a while, all of a sudden, the wind was blowing, and the dark clouds covered the sun's rays, although it was still noon, but the weather had begun to be gloomy, and it felt like it was going to rain, but the coffin that went out was not allowed to go back, but after walking for so long, it was estimated that the eight immortals were already thirsty and tired, so Gu Yunqing let the whole team rest in place and take a break.
Gu Yunqing shouted at Ma Ling'er: "Incense." ”
This incense incense means that three incense sticks are lit in front of the four boys, and the incense stops burning in the coffin, and the incense extinguishes the coffin.
Ma Linger walked forward in a few steps and lit three incense sticks in front.
Although it is a rest, it is also exquisite, the coffin can only be headed forward, and it cannot be placed on the ground, and can only be placed on two stools, and the eight immortals breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately after that, the person who carried the water quickly picked up the water, and the other person immediately handed the bowl to the Eight Immortals and the others to drink the water.
The bandits are also muttering: "Red and white intersect, this weather is going to rain again, this is too unlucky?"
These words reached the ears of the bandit leader, and the third master immediately laughed and said: "Hahaha, you little bastards, it's just raining, why do you scare you like this? When you used to visit the kiln, there was not only water in it, but also fish, and I didn't see any cowards who didn't like it." ”
This sentence made the kissing team laugh.
On the side of the funeral procession, the incense extinguished the coffin, but when the coffin was about to be raised, it had not rained yet, but it was gloomy, and suddenly fog began to rise all around, although the fog was not thick, but from the front of the line, the back could not be seen, and only a part of it could be seen clearly.
Although these people are all indigenous people, this road has been walked countless times, and it is very familiar, but now it is foggy, there are still woods on both sides of the road, plus the funeral environment, and there is a mourning team behind, it is inevitable that it will not make people feel creepy.
In order to ensure that there were no accidents, Gu Yunqing also asked the four boys who were holding paper in front of him to walk slower and follow him.
After walking for a short time, they came across a team of bandits who came to pick up their relatives.
When he got closer, Gu Yunqing noticed that something was wrong, because the team that picked up the relatives had already closed their eyes, including the horse. Gu Yunqing immediately pulled the four boys back, and said to Ma Ling'er: "Ling'er, incense." ”
Ma Linger immediately lit three incense sticks and inserted them in front, and after inserting them, the receiving team also stopped in place, and the mourning team also stopped.
In order to prevent accidents, Gu Yunqing immediately shouted to the Eight Immortals: "Fall into the coffin." ”
After Ma Ling'er finished lighting the incense, she also withdrew to Gu Yunqing's side and asked, "Aunt God, what's the matter?"
Gu Yunqing replied, "There is something wrong with them. ”
Ma Linger asked in horror: "What's wrong?"
Gu Yunqing: "Look at their eyes. ”
Ma Ling'er took a closer look, everyone's eyes were closed, including Ma'er, and everyone's face was pale, and they didn't look like living people at all, in order not to frighten others, Ma Ling'er trembled and secretly said on Gu Yunqing's shoulder: "Aunt God, this, this can't be a hundred ghosts walking at night, right?"
Gu Yunqing explained: "It's still daytime. ”
Ma Ling'er was so frightened that her legs became weak, and she said, "Hundred, a hundred ghosts are walking every day?"
Although the night walk of a hundred ghosts sounds very terrifying, as long as the living people avoid it and don't meddle with things, then there is nothing to do, but when it comes to the day of a hundred ghosts, the situation is different, and when it comes to this situation, ordinary people can't hide.
Ma Ling'er said to Gu Yunqing again: "Aunt God, why don't we take a step back first and let them go first?"
Gu Yunqing explained: "It's too late, they are here to find us. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, a Eight Immortals came up behind him and asked, "Ancient Dao Chief, what should I do now?"
As soon as these words fell, the leader of the receiving team had already pulled out the saber on his waist, and the others also pulled out the saber one after another.
As soon as all the knives were drawn, everyone began to charge, rushing towards the mourners.
When Ma Linger saw this scene, she only dared to stand there stiffly, and she didn't dare to move.
