Chapter 19: The Spirit Carries the Coffin

A sudden suona sound was particularly sharp and piercing in the dead silence of Zhangjia Village, followed by a more noisy sound of gongs and drums, as well as crackling firecrackers.

It was obviously a festive sound, but it looked eerie and eerie in this village.

Lilac paused, frowning and looking ahead. I stopped carrying a big bag, and saw paper money fluttering from a distance, and there seemed to be a figure at the back of the village in Zhangjia Village.

"Someone getting married?" Lilac muttered, feeling a little incredible.

Don't talk about her, I can't believe it. There are corpses parked in the ancestral hall, and there are still relatives at the back of the village, no matter where it is, it is unlikely that there will be such a custom!

"Senior sister..."

"What do you call me?" Lilac looked at me as if she was going to eat me alive.

I laughed dryly twice, and Zhengse said, "Senior sister, aren't you afraid that you will ignore me!" ”

"Hmph, don't sell well, be careful, let's go over and have a look." Lilac snorted, took out a thumb-sized bamboo tube from her small satchel, poured out a gray-white stone from it and handed it to me, "Take this in your mouth, don't swallow it." With this 'condensation stone' in your mouth, you can cover your yang energy, and even if you see a ghost, it is not so easy to find out that you are alive. ”

"Senior sister, what about you?" I obediently put the gray-white stone in my mouth as I asked, and it felt cold, like putting a piece of ice that would not melt into my mouth, and I couldn't help but shiver a little.

"I'm fine, your senior sister and I have the ability to do Qi, this 'condensation stone' is for laymen." Lilac said as she put the bamboo tube back in her bag, then patted my arm, ignoring the roll of my eyes.

The two of us snuck up to the source of the sound, and at this point I smelled a faint rancid smell in addition to the loud sound of firecrackers and gongs and drums.

"Senior sister, have you—" I had a condensate in my mouth, and my voice was a little slurred.

And when I turned my head to ask Lilac, I was stunned to find that Lilac, who had been walking next to me, was gone!

Senior sister, don't play with me!

I suddenly became nervous in my heart, looking around for the figure of the Xiangxi girl, extremely anxious.

Obviously, the two of us came together, but when we got to the clearing at the back of the village, the lilacs were gone? What's more, I had no idea when she didn't see her.

Just as I was about to shout her name, the firecrackers became louder, and a large field of white paper money was scattered in the air, and a team appeared on the other side of the village.

There were quite a few people, and the person at the front held two bamboo poles in his hands and hung a string of crackling firecrackers. The next four people wore white mourning clothes and sprinkled paper money into the sky, their faces full of sorrow.

The next eight people were dressed in festive clothes, red clothes, big happy characters on their chests, and playing suona, flutes, gongs and drums and other musical instruments, rejoicing.

The next one is even more strange, it is a horse led by two people, the two people who lead the horse are wearing red wedding clothes on the left, and the one on the right is wearing white mourning clothes, their faces are as white as paper, and they are painted with bright blush, just like two paper people.

And on the horse they were leading sat a young man, and I couldn't see it at a distance, but when the horse came nearer, I couldn't help but widen my eyes.

Is that Zhang Bin?

I saw Zhang Bin wearing a red groom's dress, sitting on a horse expressionlessly.

Is this his wedding?

I couldn't help but think of the wedding card I received earlier, and then immediately thought of Sister Fang's photo. The intense curiosity made me put aside the fact that the lilac was missing for a moment, and looked intently at the back of the horse.

But what followed the horse was not the imaginary sedan chair, but a pitch-black coffin! Covered with a white cloth, it was carried by six people and slowly followed behind the horse that Zhang Bin was riding.

Seeing this, I gasped.

It stands to reason that the one who followed the groom should be a wedding sedan chair, but at this moment, it was followed by a black coffin carried by six masked men in black! What the hell is going on? And who is in the coffin?

No, it should be said that this team itself is very strange, and there is something wrong everywhere. It's as if they forcibly took a part of the procession to welcome relatives and send off the funeral and put it together.

I hid in the corner and watched the procession pass in front of me. Staring at the black coffin, I couldn't help but have a guess in my heart, could it be that the one lying in the coffin could be Sister Fang?

Just as I was thinking about it, a sudden gust of wind blew, and no one in Zhangjia Village came out to see the excitement, only this strange team was passing by noisily.

I felt that the rancid stench in the air seemed to be heavier, and at the same time the dark wind blew the black cloth on the faces of the six people carrying the coffin, revealing the faces of one or two of them.

Is that......

I barely managed to see the faces of two of them under the black cloth, and my eyes immediately widened in surprise. The faces of those two people were actually two of the six corpses in the ancestral hall!

When I saw this scene, my heart beat wildly, and I quickly counted the number of people carrying the coffin, which was exactly six. Two of them are ghosts, and the other four are probably self-evident.

The ghost carries the coffin!

These three words came to my mind, and a creepy feeling immediately surged through my body. Fortunately, I still have a condensate in my mouth, and there are condensates, and those ghosts can't find me, otherwise I would really be robbed!

Up to now, I also agree with what Ding Xiang said before, the death of these seven people in Zhangjiacun is unusual.

In this strange team, six of the ghosts were actually used to carry the coffin, and as one of the seven people, Zhang Bin, who was sitting on the horse, didn't know whether he was dead or alive.

I was apprehensive in my heart, looking at Zhang Bin with mixed feelings.

In the seven coffins in the ancestral hall, the bodies of the other six people were all there, and only Zhang Bin's coffin became Li Xiaodan.

What the hell is going on? Old classmate, if you're still alive, squeak with me!

I secretly complained in my heart, at this time, I don't know if it was providence or Zhang Bin really sensed my thoughts. Zhang Bin, who was sitting on horseback, actually turned his head slowly, looked in the direction where I was, and slowly showed a sneer.

Holy!

Seeing this, my heart almost stopped.

But at this moment, a high-spirited voice suddenly sounded above my head: "What a Zhangjia Village, it really hides dirt and dirt!" There are so many lonely souls and wild ghosts, look at the master who has overtaken you! ”

Hearing the sound, I subconsciously looked up, and just happened to see a person on the roof next to me suddenly jumping down, just like a martial arts master on TV.

I watched in amazement as the fierce man jumped down, and then the strange team also stopped, including Zhang Bin, a whole group of people, with more than thirty heads twisted from their necks in unison, staring at him.

It wasn't like a normal person turned around and turned his head, but he twisted his head one hundred and eighty degrees from his neck!

At this time, the sky was already dark and came to dusk, under the scarlet sunset, there was such a picture, not to mention that I was too frightened to move, the fierce man who jumped from the roof also trembled, and muttered: "Damn, why are there so many..."

Faint!

I was speechless, this person regarded him as some kind of demon slaying and demon killer at the beginning, and now this Gao Wei image collapsed in an instant!

However, the guy still looked very young, his hair was combed in a bun, and he was wearing a dark gown and gray cloth shoes, which was a bit like the dress of a Taoist priest.

I remembered that the uncle of the driver who sent me and Lilac said that the head of Zhangjia Village invited a Taoist priest to the funeral, could it be this?

As if to confirm my suspicions, the young man drew a peachwood sword from his right hand and a golden bell from his left hand.

"The three corpses rise up, in the form of Qi! Suppress the soul and take the ghost, and the law will be punished! The young man recited a similar incantation, and shook the brass bell in his hand so vigorously that it rang so rapidly that I heard goosebumps rise up, and I thought he could be special.

However, as his bell jingled, the thirty or so heads that formed the team did not move at all, but gradually revealed a sneer, and some of their eyes fell to the ground, and their empty eye sockets stared bloodily at the young man who was dancing.

Damn, you're not going to be a fool of swaggering, are you?

I was frightened and frightened, so I quickly rummaged through my backpack to find a spiritual artifact that might help, and according to what Lilac had done before, I lit six soul-locking lamps and put them beside me, and then rushed out and grabbed the young man who was dancing.

"Huh? Who are you? It's dangerous here, get out of here! The young Taoist priest was startled by my sleeve, as if he hadn't noticed me at all, and told me to go quickly after coming to his senses.

I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, but I finally saw a living person in this Zhangjia Village, and I couldn't let him die in vain: "I know there are ghosts, come with me!" ”

"I'm a Taoist..."

"You're big!" I scolded vaguely with the condensation stone, and when I looked back, the more than thirty ghosts in Zhangjia Village, including Zhang Bin, were all staring at us, and at this time they had already dropped the paper money, suona and other things in their hands, and the ghosts screamed and pounced on us.

"!" My heart suddenly cooled, and I quickly pulled the young Taoist priest to run into the alley with the soul locking lamp, and the young Taoist priest rang the bell while running, and said to himself with a puzzled face: "Soul bell, why doesn't it work?" ”

Faint!

I rolled my eyes, and finally I pulled the young Taoist priest into the alley covered with soul locking lamps in time.

The young Taoist priest fell to the ground, and I fell on top of him, almost knocking him on the back.

And more than thirty ghosts followed, howling and screaming, turning into a fierce yin wind, almost blowing out the lights of the six soul-locking lamps!

Fortunately, although the candle flame jumped wildly, it was still stable, and wisps of white smoke rose, like a net to stop the ghosts rushing towards us, and the souls that touched the white smoke emitted a trace of black gas.

", brother, you're going to kill me." The young Taoist priest wailed and turned over, saw more than thirty ghosts stopped by six soul locking lamps, looked at me in surprise and asked, "You are also a warlock?" ”

"I... I'm not, you're a warlock? I gasped for breath a few times, and then I turned to look at him.

The young Taoist priest picked up his copper bell and peach wood sword, stood up with his body propped up, and said, "Well, I am a disciple of the Xiangxi Corpse Chasing Sect, a black-clothed sect, and Shan Yufei. ”
