Chapter Thirty-Eight: Zombie Trouble
After all, I'm still curious about the Black Clothes Gate's skills.
Among the three sects, it seems that only the black-clothed door still follows the habits of the Daomen, wearing Taoist robes and keeping the precepts. Lilac had never mentioned anything like it, and Sun Hong was unlikely to tell me about it.
Driven by curiosity, I took him outside Li Laosan's house. There were already a lot of people gathered outside the house, and I could faintly hear crying from inside.
"It shouldn't be the time to go in now." I told Shan Yufei that Shan Yufei was carrying a new peachwood sword on his back, wearing a Taoist robe and tying his hair in a bun, which was really a bit eye-catching.
I saw him staring at the sky above Li Laosan's house, frowning tightly, and when he came, he was confidently boasting to me about how powerful the black-clothed door spell was, and I didn't know what he saw at this moment, and even his lips were pursed into a line.
"What's wrong with you?" I asked curiously.
Shan Yufei pointed to the sky above and said to me, "Can't you see? There were no clouds within a radius of ten miles, but there was a black cloud over this house. ”
"Uhhhhhhhh
"Are you really a man in a piece of paper? Why can't you even watch Qi? Shan Yufei seemed to be a little speechless, and then he picked a leaf from the tree, pressed it to my eyebrows and said, "Guan Qi pays attention to consistency, and only by viewing Qi can you see things that ordinary people can't see, can you see things?" ”
I felt the place where he was pressing was itching and swishing, and there was a strange heat, and when I looked at the sky above Li Laosan's house, I could indeed see a small black cloud pressing on the roof.
"I see, what is that?" I was shocked to see such an unconscionable thing. Shan Yufei threw away the leaves after hearing me say that he saw them, and explained: "Yin qi, resentment, whatever you want to call it, and the unified one is called evil qi." In any case, this evil spirit is overwhelming, and it is by no means unusual. ”
"Could it be because of the water ghosts?" I was a little nervous.
Shan Yufei shook his head and said, "I haven't heard that water ghosts want to harm people, and they will look at the harm of a family." Something wasn't right, I had to go see the body. ”
Saying that Shan Yufei wanted to go over, I was so frightened that I hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You wait first, you are too conspicuous in the past when you dress like this, and people who don't know still think that his house is haunted!" ”
"I'm afraid that his house will be haunted, so I won't go." Shan Yufei said righteously, I couldn't help but roll my eyes, and pulled him to my house first, and found a set of my clothes for him to change.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Shan Yufei is obviously not used to wearing vulgar clothes, and I feel a little psychologically unbalanced because of this guy's tendon meat.
I thought this guy was a skinny chicken too......
"In this way, you will pretend to be my friend, and I will take you into Li Laosan's house, and it will not attract attention." I explained, seeing that he wanted to get the peachwood sword, I hurriedly stopped him, "Put everything in my house first, it's really something, come back and get it." ”
Shan Yufei was a little unhappy, but reluctantly agreed. In order to cover his bun, I also deliberately found him a hat, not to mention, this guy is still a little heroic after dressing like a dog.
Everything was ready, and we returned to the outside of Li Laosan's house, Li Laosan seems to have died yesterday, and after the autopsy was confirmed to be drowning, he was taken home today to be mortuary.
Our custom of Hulukou is to rest the body for seven days after death, and wait for the deceased to return to the soul in seven days, and after saying goodbye, they will either be buried or cremated.
During these seven days, the relatives of the deceased will light the lantern and keep a vigil for the deceased.
Although many of the tedious and superstitious steps of the present year have been omitted, these two things have been retained.
Li Laosan's two sons, the eldest is called Li Zhong and the younger is called Li Ming, and they are one year old.
The person in charge of the reception is the eldest brother Li Zhong, I used to follow behind my mother, and I have met him a few times, so I didn't have any suspicion when I came to mourn, but I looked strangely at Shan Yufei who was following me.
"Xiao Shao, I heard that you are now working in the paper shop on Ximen Street?" After I finished the incense, Li Zhong took me aside and asked me.
I glanced at Shan Yufei, who was looking at Li Laosan's body in the coffin while no one was paying attention. So I hurriedly spoke, drawing Li Zhong's attention to myself: "Yes, that shop is called 'Yiyi Guan', and it sells some paper money, wreaths, boys and girls, and so on. ”
"Okay, Uncle will go to your store to buy some things later." Li Zhong nodded, looked at me and opened his mouth, but as if there was something unspeakable, "Xiao Shao, let me ask you something, don't you think Uncle is strange." ”
"What's the matter? You say. I was also a little curious when he asked, and I didn't know what was worth such a mystery.
However, Li Zhong's next sentence made me a little unable to laugh.
"Xiao Shao, they all say that Ximen Street will be haunted...... Are there really ghosts? Li Zhongyu hesitated, and asked hesitantly, as if he felt that he was really a bit stupid to ask, he shook his head again and said, "Really, how can you believe this as a college student... I'm confused too. Xiao Shao, what uncle said nonsense, don't take it to heart. ”
After speaking, Li Zhong was called away, and I left with him, and my brows couldn't help frowning.
Have you ever seen a ghost? What the hell I've been in the past two days, it's enough to put together a football team, okay!
But what really makes me curious is the reason why Li Zhong asked this, in my impression, Li Zhong is also an honest fisherman, who has inherited Li Laosan's craftsmanship, and does not seem to be a person who cares about gods and ghosts.
Could it be... He also thinks that his father was killed by a drifter?
I couldn't help but think of the rumors I heard in the breakfast shop, and the more I thought about it, the more it made sense, if it wasn't for this reason, why did he ask about ghosts?
I was thinking about getting distracted when suddenly a hand slapped me on the shoulder and startled me. Turning his head to look over, he saw Shan Yufei's solemn expression.
"What's wrong?" As soon as I saw his expression, I realized that something might be wrong.
Shan Yufei glanced left and right and said, "There are a lot of people here, let's go outside and talk about it." ”
I nodded, and Shan Yufei quickly left Li Laosan's house, and after arriving at the outer wall, Shan Yufei confirmed that there was no one left and right, and the expression on his face gradually turned to excitement and said, "Great!" ”
???
I looked at him with a strange expression, sensing my gaze, and Shan Yufei also realized that what he said was wrong, and coughed dryly with a little embarrassment and said, "I mean, there is finally a profitable deal." ”
"What do you mean?" I looked at Shan Yufei suspiciously.
Shan Yufei explained: "When the black clouds are overpowered, I feel strange. Just now, while you were talking to that person, I took a closer look at the old man's corpse, and found that his complexion was bruised, his face was black, and the nails of his fingers were three inches long. ”
"What? Corpse fraud? I was stunned by what he said, especially when I heard him say the word corpse, and I had a sense of unreality that I was watching a movie, "Don't be kidding, how can a good person cheat a corpse?" ”
"Damn, I'm a man from the Black Sect, and what I'm best at is dealing with 'corpses', do you think I'll make a mistake in judgment?" Shan Yufei glared at me, looking stimulated.
But hearing what he said, I can't deny that the man in black is indeed majoring in the word 'corpse'.
The corpse chasing faction is divided into three gates, the black clothes occupy the 'corpse', the white clothes occupy the 'spirit', and the paper clothes occupy the 'underworld'.
But it also means...... Is it really possible for a zombie to appear?
"Are there really zombies? Can you handle it? I asked nervously, recalling that when I was in Zhangjia Village, I met six villagers who had corpses, which I remember vividly, and I would never want to meet them a second time.
When Shan Yufei heard me ask, a hint of smugness appeared on his face: "Of course, I am a disciple of the Black-clothed Sect. In terms of driving corpses and suppressing corpses, they are all second to none. If there is a hundred-year-old corpse or a thousand-year-old corpse king, I may not be able to, but against a person who has just died, my brother still doesn't care about it. ”
"Look at your cow, you'd better be careful, don't pull your crotch temporarily like last time in Zhangjiacun." I struck mercilessly, and the single feather that I said rolled my eyes.
After Shan Yufei took a serious change back into his uniform, and then in the name of suppressing the corpse, he wanted to learn from his predecessors in ancient times and formally accept the commission from the Li Laosan family.
Although I persuaded him that he might be beaten in this way, Shan Yufei still didn't listen, and naturally he was beaten by the angry Li family brothers, and his nose and face were swollen, and he was chased for several streets before escaping.
"Don't you?" I leaned on the bicycle with a smile on my face, watching Shan Yufei walk back with a blue and purple face, and his handsome face was almost beaten into a pig's head.
"Damn, what a world! Kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs, and the ghost master dares to fight, and he deserves to have zombies in the house! Should! Shan Yufei sat on the ground scolding, grinning in pain as soon as he touched the bruises on his face.
"It's because you don't have a brain, your parents just died, and you ran to tell someone: Your father may want to cheat the corpse, and it is recommended to cremate it directly. It's weird that people don't beat you, right? "I looked at him like an idiot, and wondered how this guy had survived so much.
Shan Yufei also seemed to know that he was at a loss, but he was still very angry and kept muttering. However, he was angry, but he didn't leave there, and still held a compass and a wooden sword on his back to guard outside Li Laosan's house.
In his own words, this is called Daosheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, and he has to accumulate merit even if he has no money.
But I know that this guy is actually hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he can't do it without saving him.
Waiting, waiting, the sky gradually darkened, the moon was dark and the wind was high, as the stars were obscured by black clouds, the yin wind gradually became stronger, and the leaves were blowing, like ghosts crying.
I looked at the time, and it was close to ten o'clock.
"Come on, I have to go back to the store." After I finished speaking, I was about to leave, Shan Yufei rolled his eyes, and just wanted to speak, when suddenly the copper bell on his waist rang.
"Something's coming!" Shan Yufei grabbed me, his expression quickly became serious, and he stared closely at the pointer on the compass that began to hula and circle.
"Where?" I couldn't help but get nervous, especially now that the wind was blowing in, making my back feel cold for a while.
Shan Yufei stared at the compass for a while, and gradually twisted his brows and said, "The compass can't be measured... It seems like it's not far from us..."
As he spoke, he glanced left and right, then looked at me, his gaze froze instantly, his lips pursed, and he said something that made me stiff with the shape of his mouth.
- Behind your back——。
