There is nothing wrong with this, such as the mansion in front of Luo Tian and Gandalf.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gandalf took Luo Tian in the carriage sent to the family, which lived in the north of the city, and the whole street was the land of the people, and the gatehouse was three stories high, which was magnificent enough.

Of course, Luo Tian has seen a lot of this kind of house before, but it is in the capital, after all, it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are many princes and ministers in it.

It is somewhat similar to the rules on the Xia side, and there is a white spirit-conjuring pan hanging on the gate here, fluttering in the wind, slightly dazzling, which also means that someone in the family has passed away.

After getting out of the car and looking at the row of gorgeous carriages parked in front of the house, Luo Tian couldn't help but think of the dilapidated carriage when he came to Yuhang Town, which was very uncomfortable!

Luo Tian secretly scolded in his heart, his own door-slamming father, the dignified finance minister, actually let himself run such a long way with rags, and his heart was inevitably a little unbalanced.

Gandalf seemed much calmer, and he didn't know how many times he had been to this place.

While walking, he also explained a few words to Luo Tian, the content is nothing more than that, enter the house for a while, talk less and do more?

Luo Tian nodded to Gandalf, and with great difficulty carrying a large package in both hands, he followed one step at a time.

The package was full of so-called ritual vessels prepared by Gandalf, a chalice filled with holy water, six dead bronze lamps, and a large number of paper money and incense candles...... This is somewhat similar to Xia Guo's side, in fact, there is such a thing as paper money, but because Gandalf said that he brought these blessings, he also let Luo Tian bring them.

Don't look at it all paper, stacked up, it's still quite heavy, if it weren't for the fact that his physical condition has improved a lot for a while, Luo Tian's small body may not be able to carry it.

Luo Tian and Gandalf walked into the courtyard, not to mention, there are really a lot of people, at least dozens of people, most of them have solemn expressions, and they are probably all here to mourn.

It seems that these people are dressed in either rich or expensive clothes, even the city lord of Huangfu and his son are among them, but I didn't see Shen Qi's kid, it is estimated that this kid came late, and there is no intersection.

However, the cheap master Gandalf seems to be very prestigious, after entering the courtyard, many of those nobles of all colors know him, and when they see him coming, they come up with a smile on their faces to talk and shake hands with him, and the content is mostly complimentary, Luo Tian looks at this posture, and his master's prestige in the small city is still quite high.

I have to say that Gandalf does look like a master on the outside, and when the unfathomable temperament of the fairy wind bones emerges, it always makes people feel a sense of worship.

I saw that my master smiled at everyone with his usual indifferent expression, as if to tell them that he was very low-key and not suitable for such a secular occasion, I saw him bow slightly to those who came up to shake hands, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is the day of condolences for the daughter of the baron's family, and Mr. Baron entrusted the old man to handle it for him, the time is not early, the old man will not talk to you more, if there is anything we will talk about later." ”

After that, Gandalf bowed slightly, and then said to Luo Tian behind him: "Apprentice, go in with me." ”

After seven turns and eight turns, Luo Tian followed Gandalf to a courtyard, and there were faint bursts of crying inside.

Along the way, Luo Tian opened his eyes! I always felt that the original courtyard of the Earl's Palace, which was six in and six out, was already very prosperous!

Good guys, this baron's mansion, not to mention the pavilions and buildings everywhere, and the inside is also splendid, which is enough to see the wealth of the family, it is too luxurious, and some of the furniture has not even been seen by the earl, but when you look at the simple and exquisite shape, you know that it costs a lot.

There are also a lot of people in the room, but it can be seen that there are relatively more family members, and the rules of Xia Guo are almost the same, the girl's relatives are hung with white silk, and there is a simple and ancient offering table in the middle of the hall, with all the candles and incense on it, and there is a black coffin behind the offering table, and I don't know what kind of wood it is, anyway, it is outlined with gemstones, gold and silver inlays, and it looks so gorgeous and magnificent~!

Luo Tian's numb heart couldn't help but sigh again: This is really too extravagant, according to the master's words, in order to avoid becoming a powerful ghost, most of them do a little magic thing, and try to be cremated on the day of death, but this baron was stunned to move to the house and didn't say anything, and he knew that he would stop for a day, and he would have to be cremated the next day, and he even bought a good coffin.

I have to say, everyone has their own life, this rich and noble family is so decent after death.

However, to Luo Tian's slight surprise, there were four or five people kneeling in front of the offering table, looking not too old, dressed in linen, crying and burning paper money, that sad posture is closer than relatives! This young lady is old enough, and there are such old juniors......

There was a middle-aged couple standing in the crowd, also crying very sadly, Gandalf took Luo Tian and walked in the direction of the two, the couple also saw Gandalf, stopped crying and stepped forward, one of the men in Chinese clothes, stepped forward and said to Gandalf: "Master Gan, this time I want to trouble you." ”

Luo Tian secretly examined it, these two people looked like they were about thirty years old, but Tianyantong found that they were actually forty or fifty years old, and they were very well maintained!

Dressed in a black gown, a little short, it seems that this is the baron!

Although the baron's emotions are well controlled, his eyes flicker, and he always feels a little uneasy, as for the beautiful lady next to him, he can't do it, he still keeps wiping his tears, he can't stop it at all, his eyes are already red, it's no wonder, whose daughter can not be sad when she dies?

Gandalf shook hands with the baron in a deep manner, and then said: "The baron's mourning is smooth, as the so-called life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, Ling Yan is here in the world, and the kingdom of God is also destined, the old man must do his best to send Ling Yan on the last journey, so that she can relieve her pain." ”

The baron looked unusually haggard, and said to Gandalf in a daze, "Thank you, thank you, sorry for your trouble, master, and when is it appropriate for us to avoid it?"

Gandalf said to the baron: "This, naturally, the sooner the better, as soon as it gets dark, the undead may come back at any time, I think the condolences are almost over, Lord Baron, I see that you are also overworked, it is better to go down and rest early, and after a while, the old man will let the apprentice prepare to prepare, and prepare to spend the night for Ling Yan." ”

When Baron Hu heard Gandalf say this, he sighed, turned his head to the people who were crying on the ground, and suddenly became irritable, and said, "Get out! Get out of here, get out of here, find someone to get the money outside! Don't be embarrassed here! A bunch of liars, damn liars! Give me back my colorful clothes......

After hearing this, the guy who was kneeling on the ground and wearing filial piety hurriedly got up, and immediately stopped crying, even if he was cursed, he was not angry, but stepped forward to express his gratitude with a flattering face, nodded and walked out of the door, which made Luo Tian look at it again, and the feelings were also hired!

It's really an eye-opener today, Luo Tian originally read the news and said that someone was crying, I didn't believe it before, I didn't expect to see it when I was in Xia Guo, but when I crossed over here today, I really met someone who did this kind of profession, and I really calmed Luo Tian, seeing them crying on the ground just now, grief-stricken appearance, how do you look like relatives, and they are very close to each other, but I didn't expect it to be fake.

Seeing that the baron, under the comfort of his wife, finally calmed down, cheered up and announced to everyone in the house, thank you for coming to see off his daughter, and in the largest restaurant in the city, the dinner party had been arranged, and everyone was invited to dine together.

Those nobles and rich people, there were few who were really sad, most of them came to the scene, and after hearing the baron say this, the courtyard was empty after a while.

Only Luo Tian and Gandalf were left and a few servants of the baron's family, at this time the baron entered the house again, walked up to Gandalf, and said with a little guilt: "Master, then please tonight, he will be rewarded in the future, the front yard has already prepared snacks and snacks, please enjoy them at will, do not be restrained, if there is any need, just ask the subordinates to inform me, and ensure that it is completed as soon as possible." ”

Gandalf smiled slightly, and said to the baron: "Lord Baron, you don't have to be polite, as a priest, it is our glory to save God's people, and we will do our best to recite the longitude of the Lord all night, but tonight's host is my disciple Rev. Luo Tian, come, I have met Lord Baron!"

Luo Tian stepped forward and saluted: "I've seen Lord Baron!"

The baron nodded, and after saying some polite words to Luo Tian, he walked out of the house with his subordinates, and at this time, only Luo Tian and Gandalf were left in the big room.

And, of course, the corpse of the woman in the coffin.

After Gandalf and the others left, he said to Luo Tian: "Xiaotian, the teacher will live in the front yard tonight, you follow the method taught to you before the teacher, go to the arrangement first, and then go to dinner." ”

With that, Gandalf left on his own.

Luo Tian began to take out the contents of the package, according to the method said by the teacher, the offering table was cleaned up, and the six bronze lanterns were placed on the offering table, and the lanterns were not placed at random, for the sake of insurance, Luo Tian deliberately took out a book from his arms, according to the above graphics, according to the cat and the tiger, on the offering table, with a red holy water to draw a six-pointed star pattern, and the eternal lamp is placed on the six points of the six-pointed star, the center of the six-pointed star, is the incense burner and the girl's tablet。

In fact, this is the simplest formation, the function is the role of trapping spirits, Gandalf said, when people here just died, the original soul is no different from ordinary people, therefore, all the exorcism prohibitions in the city are useless, if it is normal birth, old age, sickness and death, the soul will linger around the body, a wish, or the priest uses purification, you can directly let it ascend to heaven.

However, most of the people who died because before death, after huge mental fluctuations, the soul will flee from the body under the fright, and there is no trace of it, this time is very short, and at night, the lost soul will come back to find his body.

Once they really want to let them into their own bodies, the biggest possibility is to become zombies, lose their nature, and wantonly kill living beings.

Therefore, most of the people who died are cremated or buried as soon as possible, so as to avoid any accidents, of course, you can also let the priest guard all night, use the formation to trap the undead, while waiting for the dawn, as long as the next day, even if the degree is not successful, the trapped undead will be refined by the morning light, and there is no danger.

However, such a price is not small, the red holy water is refined from the blood of several special demonic beasts, and the cost alone is more than a dozen gold coins.

Ordinary people can't afford it.

After arranging the offering table, Luo Tian took out the paper money again and threw some into the brazier in front of the coffin.

The teacher is not wrong, these paper money are blessed with light mana, which can dispel the cold emitted by the corpse, and the key is to cover his own breath.

In this way, even if a ghost comes, it will not threaten his safety.

Luo Tian took out another stick of incense, lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner on the offering table, there was little green smoke, and it was straight, so Luo Tian put his mind at ease, because this was in the house, it was impossible to have wind, if the green smoke of burning incense was messy, it would prove that there was a ferocity in the atmosphere occupied by this house, and it needed to be suppressed by a formation.

Otherwise, once the wind turns into a bad wind, it can blow out the ever-bright lamp. As soon as the lights go out, it's naturally bad. However, the master of this mansion has checked many times, and there is no problem at all, just for show.

After everything was ready, Luo Tian, who had long been hungry, no longer pretended to be Qinggao or anything, and rushed to the front yard, after all, for this ritual, Luo Tian had studied with Gandalf for most of the day, and he hadn't eaten yet.

But I didn't see the teacher, but I saw that Cohen's fat pig had come out of nowhere, and he had already eaten and drunk, and he had a mouthful of oil, as if he was possessed by a starving ghost, with chicken legs in one hand and wine in the other, so he was not happy.

"Why are you here?!"
