Chapter 1329: The Life of Eating the Dead (Fourth Update)
One million coffins, even wealthy families like Mo Yongxing and Meng Fang were suppressed by this price.
The two of them have also seen the drawings in Meng Yao's hand, although the style looks a little weird, but they don't need the price of one million, is it possible that they really plan to use Huanghuali to build a coffin?
"No problem. β
However, in the face of Master Wang's offer, Meng Yao agreed without hesitation, as long as she could create the coffin on the drawing, let alone one million, even ten million, she would be willing to give it.
Because this coffin is a necessity for Qin Yu's resurrection.
And this drawing was also left to her by the mysterious man, and the mysterious man's original words were like this: "Find someone to build this coffin, and then put Qin Yu's body and this ding in it, you can be buried, if you can't create such a coffin, Qin Yu will not be able to resurrect." β
"Come in with me. β
Master Wang didn't ask Meng Yao again how he got this drawing, took the drawing in his hand, turned around and walked into the back room.
Meng Yao and the four of them glanced at each other, and finally followed Master Wang into the back room.
The house here is indeed very dilapidated, the most obvious point is the soil under the feet, every household is paved with marble slabs and tiles today, or no matter how bad it will be poured with cement, Master Wang's house here, or mud, and after so many years of trampling, there are obviously some potholes on the ground, although it will not affect people walking, but if some furniture is placed, it will inevitably lead to uneven soles of the furniture, and other things need to be filled.
Moreover, the lighting of this room is not very good, the outside is sunny and sunny, but the inner room is dark, Master Wang turned on the light, and the room has a little brightness.
In this room, the furnishings are simple, with only a table and a desk leaning on top. There are some fruits on it, but there are two sacred tablets enshrined.
Master Wang walked to the desk, picked up the incense, and respectfully bowed to the two tablets three times. There is an incense burner in front of each tablet, and three sticks of incense are inserted into each tablet.
The first god card, Meng Yao and a few people can still recognize it, it is the Luban tablet, Master Wang worships Luban. This is not surprising at all.
Because this coffin is the work of a carpenter, and Lu Ban is the ancestor of the carpenter, and it is natural for Master Wang to worship Lu Ban, but what the hell is this second god card, oh no, what kind of god, the words on this god card, Meng Yao and the four of them don't know it at all.
"Qin Yu told me before that people who eat white food. Either worship the poor god or worship the killing god, is this tablet one of the tablets of those two gods?" Meng Yao whispered to himself.
"I didn't expect your little girl to know this, your friend is right, those who eat white things do need to worship one of these two gods, and what I worship is to kill the gods. Master Wang turned his head, looked at Meng Yao, and replied.
"What is eating white food?" Mo Yongxing asked curiously on the side.
"Eat white food. It refers to those who eat the food of the dead, such as those who make coffins, tie paper people, and some other dead people's supplies. He who lives on this. Meng Yao explained on the side: "However, Qin Yu also told me that ordinary people who eat white food don't need to worship God, because these people are just superficial, and only those who really have the ability to eat this line of food do need it." β
After Meng Yao said this, he looked at Master Wang. Since this Master Wang has worshiped the God of Killing in addition to Lu Ban, it means that this Master Wang does have this ability.
Moreover, Qin Yu also said that people who eat this line of food can only choose between these two gods, if they choose to kill the gods, they can have their relatives unharmed, but in this life, they are destined to be poor, and it is impossible to make a lot of money, and if you choose to worship the poor gods, you can seek wealth and nobility, but your relatives will inevitably have some accidents, and you can't have both. β
"Then if you say that, wouldn't it be thankless to do this job, why would anyone else do it?" Mo Yongxing continued to ask.
Meng Yao didn't answer Mo Yongxing's question, but she knew the answer, because when she chatted with Qin Yu about this, she also asked Qin Yu this question, and Qin Yu answered her like this.
"Those who really do this line of work are passed down from generation to generation, and the real reason can only be found from the first generation, perhaps, some of them were really poor at that time, and they had no choice but to embark on this line of work, and some of them may be for their relatives. β
Some of those who do this line of work are poor and want to starve to death, and finally choose to worship the poor god and walk into this line of work to seek a wealth and nobility, while some may be because of family reasons, illness or something, in desperation, enter this line of work and choose to kill the god, so that relatives can get peace, and even some strange diseases will disappear and return to normal.
In the dark, everything has a cause and effect relationship, and once you enter this industry, ten generations cannot quit, and there must be ten generations to pass it on, otherwise, future generations will inevitably be retributed.
To put it simply, just like some of the current volunteer teaching activities, excluding those who are really for the cause of teaching, most of them are interested in some benefits after three years of volunteer teaching.
Bear the pain of teaching for three years, in exchange for extra points and priority admission to public institutions in the future, which is very similar to the situation of Master Wang's industry, but the difference is that teaching is three years, but Master Wang and they need to pay for ten generations.
"At the beginning, the tenth generation of my Wang family ancestor was originally a landlord, although not a big rich, but according to the current situation, it is also a multimillionaire in a first-tier city, without worrying about food and clothing, who knows, when Zeng Zeng's grandmother was pregnant with the ninth generation of ancestors, she suddenly got a strange disease, the whole person did not eat tea and rice, and relied on drinking some Chinese medicine soup to maintain, and after a month, he was thin and only skin and bones remained, and my Wang ancestor was also a dedicated person, although he was a landlord, but he never took a concubine, only a lady of Zeng Zeng's grandmother, and the grandmother was pregnant with an heir, so she was naturally very anxiousγ β
Master Wang spoke, looked at the two divine tablets in front of him, and said slowly: "However, who would have thought that the ancestors had searched all the doctors they could find, including those famous doctors, who were helpless against Grandma's illness, and couldn't even find out what kind of disease Grandma had was. β
"Grandma is losing weight day by day, seeing that the children and people are going to die, but at this time, there is an old man who has found his ancestor and has a way to cure Grandma's illness. β
"In order to save the grandmother, the ancestors in the nearby county and ten miles and eight townships are looking for people to publicize, as long as someone can cure the grandmother's illness, they will be rewarded with half of the family property, so, there are many people who come to the door, but these people, some of them are cheating and cheating, and some of them have real talent and learning, but after really seeing the grandmother's illness, they are also at a loss, only this old man removes. β
In front of the ancestors, the old man let the grandmother drink a bowl of porridge on the spot, this is the first time in a few months, the grandmother has eaten rice and other food, but the ancestors are very happy, and hurriedly asked the old man what can be done to save the grandmother, but the old man told the ancestors that to save the grandmother, only rely on the ancestors themselves. β
"The old man told the ancestors a way, in this world, if you eat white food, you can have two choices, one is wealth, the other is the health of the family, as long as the ancestors are willing to do this business, grandma's illness will be cured, but the condition is to insist on ten generations, within ten generations, the Wang family can only live a hard life, otherwise, they will be retributed. β
"For the sake of the grandmother, the ancestor agreed to the old man, because, if there is a problem with the grandmother and the child in the belly, then the Wang family will be doomed, even if there are thousands of family wealth, what is the use. β
"The old man stayed, taught the ancestors for a month, and then left, and during this month, the grandmother's health really slowly improved, after that, the ancestors sold all the family's property, distributed the land and money to some poor people, took the grandmother, left the hometown, in another place, started this business, to me, just the tenth generation. β
Master Wang's words made the faces of the other three except Meng Yao become strange, especially the fat man, it was like listening to a story of strength, but Master Wang's serious expression clearly told him that this was not a story.
However, Meng Yao also knew that there was one thing that Master Wang did not say, that is, the identity of the old man at the beginning, that old man, in fact, should also be the tenth generation of a certain family engaged in this business, if you want to break away from this industry, in addition to working for ten generations, there is also a very important feature, that is, to find another successor.
Meng Yao glanced at Master Wang meaningfully, I'm afraid that Master Wang is almost starting to look for a successor now.
"Since that's the case, then you still have to charge so much money for a coffin?" Mo Yongxing grasped the point of Master Wang's words and asked.
"Because this coffin is worth so much money. Master Wang replied categorically.
"But it's useless for you to go with your money?"
Master Wang smiled, but did not answer Mo Yongxing's words again, but Meng Yao spoke, "Although you are engaged in this industry and choose to kill gods, you must live a hard life, but it doesn't mean that you can't have money, if you have money, as long as you don't spend it." β
Meng Yao remembered what Qin Yu said to herself:
"The way of heaven is fair, it can't just be paid without return, although you choose to kill the gods, you are destined to live a hard life, but wealth can be saved, once the ten generations are over, the first generation of descendants, you can enjoy this wealth. β
Meng Yao believes that Master Wang's family, in ten generations, must have saved a lot of wealth, and people who really understand this industry are still very profitable. (To be continued.) )
