Chapter 116: The Funeral Procession

Ahri was in the kitchen, helping the old monk prepare breakfast, and by the way, he was a doorkeeper. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt's just that if there is really something wrong with this place, why let an ordinary mortal guard the door.

At this moment, Master Dullness suddenly ran into the kitchen, first ran to the water tank, ducked down a cow, shook the water off his beard, and said to Ahri with a burp, "It's here!"

Before Ahri could ask, he pulled him to the front door and hid behind the open door. As soon as he stood still, he saw someone coming out of the town, two women in plain white mourning clothes, their heads bowed, their faces could not be seen clearly, each holding a white banner in their hands, their footsteps were almost silent, floating like shadows.

Ahri's eyes followed the two women as they passed the hall and headed towards the back door, when something fell on her head, and when she reached out and grabbed it, she found that it was a piece of paper money, exactly the same as the one she had seen by the side of the road yesterday.

The two women were only the forerunners of the funeral procession, followed by a procession of hundreds of people, all dressed in heavy and wide mourning clothes, bowing their heads and walking forward slowly, without crying or sacrificial music, just slowly and silently marching forward. They carried the coffins of two phoenix babies through the temple and towards the outside of the town.

"See?" asked the Lightless Monk.

Ahri nodded, if she had encountered such a funeral procession at night, she would have thought she had seen a ghost, "It seems that many children have died here recently......"

"Definitely. Wuguang shook his head, "I don't want you to see this, can you see the people who sent the funeral?"

"No...... Their clothes covered their faces, and I only saw the old lady who sprinkled paper money, thinking that she often did this business, but she was very skilled, and she could scatter paper money without messing around, and it was also a skill to land silently. Ahri picked up a few pieces of paper money and scattered them, but before he could leave his hand, he was blown away by the wind.

"That's not what I want you to see!" Monk Wuguang was a little impatient. "Don't you notice any change between the people who mourn today and yesterday?"

"This ...... When we came yesterday, it was already noon, and we didn't see the funeral procession......"

"Well, I'll tell you," said the lightless monk, taking a deep breath and saying in a deep voice, "they're getting old......

"Getting old?" Ahri was a little puzzled, "You mean, the people who mourn today are not as young as yesterday?"

"No, I mean, these women are aging at a rapid rate, and I remember when I first saw the funeral procession ten days ago, most of them were tall young women, and there were very few rickety old men, and every day that passed, there were more and more old people in the procession, and to this day, there were very few young women left. ”

"Then how do you know that the funeral people are the same people? Only the family members of the deceased will be buried, so many children have died, it must not be the same family. Ahri retorted, this is a relatively normal situation, the monk of the lightless must be too nervous, so that his mind is a little confused.

"Don't you believe it?" Muko shook his head helplessly, "Then let's eat first." ”

I didn't figure it out, this big monk was really unreliable, but he was indeed a little hungry, and when he arrived at the small canteen, the old monk had already made tea, and Lu Gongzi was taking out dry food from a package.

When did they bring dry food? Obviously, they came here empty-handed, where did this dry food come from? Ahri was puzzled, and Wuguang walked over and dragged the package, and said in a rough voice, "Who are you who dare to touch my things?"

Ahri hurriedly stepped forward and introduced, "Master Wuguang, this is my son-in-law, Lu Zhenren. He didn't know it was yours......"

Wuguang looked this Lu Zhenren up and down, and there were some doubts in his heart, this person is so young, he really has the ability to return to the sky?

Ahri introduced Lu Gongzi again: "This is the Lightless Master of Brahma Temple. ”

"Dull? Lu Gongzi took the tea served by the host and said with a smile: "I forgot to ask the master of the host's name." ”

The old monk waved his hand and smiled, "Don't dare, don't dare, the poor monk's name is enlightened." ”

Enlightening his eyes, but worthy of his name, this old monk's eyes are very small, and if he doesn't look carefully, he thinks he hasn't opened them, Ahri laughed secretly.

The host of Qimu served tea to everyone before sitting down. Ahri wanted to ask him about the town, but the light who was sitting next to him shook his head and said, "He's just blind, deaf, he doesn't know anything, and it's useless to ask." ”

Wuguang's words were not good, and the host was not angry, but just shook his head and sighed: "You are right, I have been in this temple for decades, and I have never taken a step, I have strictly followed the rules, and I dare not exceed it at all. ”

Wuguang snorted coldly and stopped talking, thinking that he had looked for the old monk many times in the past ten days, but he had not received any useful clues.

"Still. The host of Qimu suddenly sat upright, and a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his cloudy eyes, "There is still one thing to tell the three of you, maybe it will be of some help to you." In fact, I never stay in this small temple. ”

"What do you mean?"

"This is the rule, no one should be left in the temple. But when the old chief was leaving, he told me that after I had been in office for sixty years, three people would come here and ask me to keep them anyway. Amitabha, it must be the three of you. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Lu Gongzi was stunned. Ahri also knew that it was easy to do this in the mortal world, because the number of mortal lives was certain, but two of the three were not mortals, and the number of quasi-immortals in the future to be counted was definitely not an ordinary person.

Wuguang was at a loss, just as the three of them looked at each other, Ahri caught a glimpse of the white shadow flashing from outside, and the mourners returned, and Wuguang hurriedly dragged Ahri and dragged her to the courtyard.

The two of them stood straight in the middle of the courtyard, watching the funeral procession pass in front of them, but the women walked silently in front of them as if they didn't see them.

An old woman walked in front of her, with a basket hanging from her arm, she was the one who threw the paper money? Ahri finally understood the meaning of the lightless, these women were aging at a rapid pace, and when they went out, the old woman was still a normal old lady, but her back was a little rickety, and her face was full of wrinkles, but when she came back, her back was about to bend to the ground, and the wrinkles on her face were as deep as ravines, just like the old man in the mortal inn, and she was not old like a human being.

The funeral procession disappeared at the door, and the old host came to them at some point, and said slowly: "Amitabha, there are fewer and fewer people...... Since a month ago, they have been going out like this every day, and when they come back, they will be older, and when they go out the next day, there will be fewer people...... Although the poor monk doesn't know why, but the governor is irreparable, since the three of them are the destiny of heaven, they must have great magical powers, so it all depends on you. ”
