Chapter 041: Burial
Shen Xi made a basket out of branches and spread them on the bottom with leaves to prevent bones from falling through the gaps. Shen Lin no longer had any muscles in his body, and his bones were falling apart. Shen could only carefully pick them up and put them in a basket.
The wheels of the bamboo cart made a piercing sound on the mountain road, playing a boring mournful music to see Shen Lin off.
Along the way, Shen Xi was in a trance, and she didn't notice that the horned rat had been staring at her on the side of the road. The horned rat's gaze was not without malice, but he just watched Shen Xi leave.
Only demon beasts above the sixth order can have intelligence similar to that of humans, and this horned rat is only of the second order, how can he reveal such an emotional look. It's weird.
Shen Xi didn't see this, her mind was disordered, and her mind was full of memories of her previous life. After being reborn, she was in a new home and did not think much about the past. Shen Lin's corpse reminded Shen Xi of his former family.
The Shen family of Longquan Immortal Mountain is a family of cultivators, who once reigned in Longquan Immortal Mountain, and even killed the strongest and most vicious demon beast in the Xinglong Mountain Range, took its inner pill, and seized its magic weapon. However, since the Shen family's secret was known by others, the other immortal cultivation families began to conspire to deceive, unite with the retainers of the Shen family, and cooperate with the outside to eliminate the Shen family.
This incident is known as "Shen Nan", and some people also wrote this incident into a song, called "The Tragedy of the Shen Family".
After "Shen Nan", only Shen Xi survived, and even her second aunt and family could not escape the doom, let alone let her mother clan.
Shen Xi began a ten-year career as a fugitive, but in the end, he was unable to resist the siege of everyone and exposed himself to death.
She had thought about forgetting about it and living again. Seeing Shen Lin's corpse, Shen Xi recalled the past, and her heart was still like a knife, she knew that she might not be able to give up hatred in this life.
If you can't avenge the murder of your father and your clan in this life, what is the point of being reborn? Shen Xi gritted his teeth, his eyes were like nine ghosts, hideous and terrifying.
Since revenge has been decided, let's take revenge on Shen Lin first. Although this person has nothing to do with him and has never even met in person, he is Shen Wang's father and Zhuang's husband, and since he has taken his daughter's body, it is natural to avenge him.
But Shen Xi had no clue and didn't know who the enemy was. Now, the most important thing is to step up cultivation, and we can't be as unhurried as before, only by improving our cultivation can we have the possibility of revenge.
It is difficult for the current cultivation to even protect his family, let alone avenge Shen Lin.
Back home, Shen Xi put the bamboo cart under the bamboo shed where fairy grass was planted. Shen Lin loved the fairy spirit grass very much when he was alive, and he was with the fairy spirit grass after he died.
Shen Xi sat on the threshold, holding his chin. She thought back to the first time she had found fairy grass among the thorns.
The immortal spirit grass in that place is probably grown with the immortal power of Shen Lin's physical strength. That crisp ginseng grew directly on Shen Lin's body. Shen Xi's stomach was extremely uncomfortable, and he really didn't know what to do with that crispy ginseng.
Crispy ginseng relies on Shen Lin's body to grow, and has a part of Shen Lin, if you eat it, it is tantamount to eating Shen Lin's body, it is terrible to think about.
I also counted on that crisp ginseng to improve my cultivation, and this idea ended here. Shen Xi didn't even want to touch that thing now.
Not long after, Zhuang returned, and she didn't know who borrowed a cart and pulled a coffin. She was already extremely weak and petite, and it was difficult for her to pull the coffin back by herself.
Seeing this, Shen Xi immediately ran over and wanted to take the handle.
Zhuang shook his head and said, "Xi'er, you let me do it myself." ”
Shen Xi withdrew her hand, and it could be seen that the Zhuang family was seriously injured, and Shen Lin's death could be said to be a fatal blow to her. If there were no three children, Zhuang might have died.
This woman seems to be petite and weak, but she has a strong heart. She endured the pain in her heart and took care of her husband's funeral, which was tantamount to a knife in her heart.
Zhuang parked the coffin and began to decorate the mourning hall. The bamboo shed that Shen Xi erected before can just be used as a mourning hall. It's not that the Zhuang family doesn't want to place Shen Lin at home, it's just that this earthen embryo house is too small, and if they set up the mourning hall at home, they won't even have a place to put their feet down.
Zhuang's ingenuity quickly set up the mourning hall. Only then did she speak to Shen Xi, "Xi'er, did you find your father's body?" ”
"Found it." Shen Xi pointed to the bamboo cart under the bamboo shed on the other side of the house and said, "I have brought back my father's bones." ”
"Good, good." Zhuang nodded solemnly, "Xi'er, you bring your father's bones, and my mother wants to dress him." ”
"Oh." Shen Xi obediently carried the basket containing Shen Lin's bones to the side of the coffin.
When Zhuang saw the scattered bones, he was a little at a loss, but there was still no sign of crying.
The more Shen Xi looked at it, the more weird it became, maybe he was sad to a certain extent, and people's actions could not be guessed with ordinary logic.
Zhuang spread the shroud he had just purchased in the coffin, and then put Shen Lin's head on top. She looked down for Shen Lin's other bones.
Shen Xi saw that she was looking hard, so he said, "Mother, let me come." Before Zhuang could answer, Shen Xi picked up the bones and placed them piece by piece.
In this process, Zhuang Shi didn't look at it, holding the coffin in his hand, and stared at Shen Lin inside like a magic barrier.
Shen Xi put the last bone away, then lifted the coffin lid and covered it halfway.
Zhuang whispered, "Xi'er, did you say this would be, not your father?" ”
Shen Xi's expression froze, and he asked, "Mother, have you noticed anything unusual?" What are the physical characteristics of my father? ”
Zhuang didn't think much about it, and then said: "Your father's little finger is different from ordinary people, and the last knuckle is bent outward. You take a look for your mother, is that so? ”
Shen Xi lifted the lid of the coffin and grabbed the hand bones, indeed as Zhuang said, there was something wrong with the little finger. "Yes." Shen Xi put his hand bones back.
Zhuang looked tired and tired, looking like he might fall at any time.
Shen Xi couldn't bear it, held Zhuang's arm, and said, "Mother, you go and rest for a while, your injury has not healed yet, and it is not good to be overworked." ”
"Nope." Zhuang waved his hand, "Mother is not tired, mother is here to accompany your father." ”
Shen Xi persuaded: "Mother, you look terrible, do you want your father to see you now?" Daddy definitely doesn't want you to abuse yourself like that. ”
Zhuang raised his eyes to look at Shen Xi, and said in despair: "Yes, yes, your father likes his mother to dress neatly and tidy up neatly." I'll have to put that dress on and send your dad on one last ride before he'll be happy. So saying, she went into the house.
(Attached: The funeral should be a small burial first, and then a large burial, that is, the person should be put on the bed first, dressed and stopped for a few days, and then entered the coffin.) Therefore, it was too cumbersome to describe it in this way, so the hunters simplified it and let the corpse go directly into the coffin. )
