Li Guofeng's body was fixed with a rope, four strong men, one holding his head, two people supporting the body on both sides, and the last person hugged his legs and walked straight to the embankment.

Li Chong and his wife followed behind, and they couldn't hold back their tears at this time.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Li Guofeng's pale face, giving it a strange color.

I don't know if I was dazzled, and I saw a weird smile on Li Guofeng's face in a trance, which was exactly the same as the grimace I saw on the bronze coffin on the jade altar under the underground burial lake.

When I looked again, my view was blocked by several strong guys.

According to the rules, only close people and the strong man in charge of nailing were present when the body was buried, and the rest had to be avoided.

So we didn't look closely, and turned our heads, even Yan Xiaoying was not included.

Soon after, we heard the sound of thumping, followed by the mournful cry of Li Guofeng's mother.

After sealing the coffin and nailing it, he hung many portraits of the celestial master in the mourning shed, changed their robes, took out the gong and trumpet, and prepared for the opening of the altar.

One of them, a veteran mummer, that is, the leader of this group, wore a mage robe and a mage hat on his head, sat at the offering table, holding a brush, and wrote the customs clearance document presented to the Chenghuang Temple.

I have seen this murmurer, more than a dozen villagers in the baby ditch died before, and Li Guodong invited two murmurers to spend their souls, and he was one of them.

remembers that Li Guodong called him the second master at the beginning.

Li Guodong's identity is not trivial, and he can be called the second master, and his status is extraordinary. At least he hadn't been so polite before he knew about my relationship with the mountain god Niangniang.

Mum is a peculiar profession, dressed like a Tibetan lama, but familiar with Taoism.

Legend has it that every murmurer is a master ghost hunter, and the place where he is buried after his death is often surrounded by yin objects, and those are the yin spirit monsters they once subdued.

They are not Taoists or monks, but they should not be underestimated, Li Guodong has said before that their true identity is the descendants of Baiyue Warlocks.

Before the Qin Dynasty, their ancestors were known as Baiyue demons, and they were proficient in various strange techniques, such as feng shui, curses, corpse control and animal taming, Gu worms, etc. Even the Yin and Yang families and Taoists at that time had no way to take them.

Like the Miao Jiang Gu Clan, they are the descendants of the Baiyue Demon Clan, and even the head-lowering technique was handed down at that time.

I have some doubts in my heart, I don't know if the mountain guard's folding grass asks for directions, and whether the art of worshipping trees and asking ghosts is also handed down by the Baiyue demons?

If that's the case, they're a family.

In fact, among a group of mutterers, only one or two have some skills, and the rest are just ordinary people. Just like a big play performed on the stage, only one or two people are performing, and the rest of the trumpeters are blowing the trumpets and beating the gongs, of course, these people also have to be familiar with the Duren Sutra.

After all, not everyone can be a murmurer.

The practice is like singing a tea opera, and there is a group of local opera troupes who go to various villages from time to time to perform and sing operas.

Wrote the customs clearance document, stamped the number seal, the second master wore a robe, held a copper sword, walked around the coffin, chanted the scriptures in his mouth, the sound of the gong, and officially opened the altar.

It was only at this time that Yan Xiaoying, who had been busy, had time to stop and rest.

The four Hercules have already gone down the mountain, and tomorrow morning they will go up again to dig the coffin pit. For them, there was plenty of time, and it was not difficult to dig a coffin pit and repair a new grave.

Local funerals are generally done for one day and one night, or one night, and the next day. It is not a rich and noble family, and few people do the ritual for three days and two nights, because the cost is too great.

The sound of gongs and sorrowful cries echoed in the mountains, spreading far away, ten miles in a radius, clearly audible.

As soon as the dead man's drum sounded, it is estimated that many people will know about it, and tomorrow I am afraid that many people will come to investigate it curiously.

Sitting on the edge of the spirit shed, Yan Xiaoying, who was idle, frowned and asked me in a deep voice, "What happened?" How could Li Guofeng's death be exactly the same as Chen Liming's at the beginning? ”

On the phone before, I didn't explain it clearly to Yan Xiaoying. Now that I am free, I will tell her what has happened in the past two days, Lao Fei interjected from time to time on the side, but Lin Miao was still silent.

After Yan Xiaoying heard this, she was silent for a while before she whispered: "No wonder this is the case, so you suspect that Huang Yuting did it?" ”

"Others are also suspicious, after all, Li Guofeng took out the white ghost from the Shuanglong Cave, and it is estimated that most people have seen it. Lao Fei is such a stupid person who knows how to search for Bai Youlan's information on the Internet, I don't believe that others don't know. I said.

"What do you call me stupid? Lao Yan, do you try it again? When the old fat heard this, he was not happy, and glared at me with a curse.

I shook my head, too lazy to argue with him.

Yan Xiaoying nodded, and suddenly asked, "What did Li Guodong say?" ”

"I don't know very well, he just asked us to appease Li Guofeng's family, as for what his plans are, how to find out the murderer, he didn't tell us clearly."

I frowned and said, "I think Li Guodong seems to have other plans, but he doesn't want us to know that this matter may be related to Bai Youlan, I always think that orchid is ......."

I didn't say the rest of the words, but Yan Xiaoying should know what I was worried about.

Yan Xiaoying nodded and said, "I have heard the rumor of Bai Youlan before, she said that this flower is weird, it can be called the flower of death, but in the eyes of some people, it is a priceless treasure. I'm worried about whether your old classmates will be greedy now that they know that there is a white orchid in the Shuanglong Cave...... After all, human desires/desires are endless. ”

"I hope they don't do stupid things, sneaking up the mountain into the Shuanglong Cave to pick the white orchid ...... from us."

"I can't tell!"

Lin Miao suddenly interjected: "When you were asleep last night, I saw a person secretly wanting to go up the mountain with a flashlight, but then I don't know why I didn't go, probably because I was afraid of danger." ”

I was stunned, and found that Lin Miao's eyes were looking at Lao Fei intentionally or unintentionally, and he was suddenly full of black lines, glaring at Lao Fei and said: "No wonder I got up so early this morning, it turned out that I was obsessed with Bai Youlan and wanted to sneak into Shuanglong Cave!" I'll just say how weird you are, you went to the reservoir early in the morning to catch fish, and it turned out that you were caught by Lin Miao. ”

Lao Fei rolled his eyes, looked like Lao Tzu didn't know anything, and said: "Don't wronged good people, Lao Tzu just went to the reservoir to catch fish, it's really ...... Good intentions were struck by lightning. ”

"In this way, it is really possible that those people will enter the Shuanglong Cave again because of greed." Seeing Lao Fei like this, I couldn't help but be even more worried.

"Maybe it's not just your old classmates, but also Li Guodong's people......"

Evil Yan Xiaoying pointed out: "This person is not as reliable as he imagined, and even has a lot to do with the Heavenly Master's Mansion. ”

I agree with this, Li Guodong's goods are not good birds. What is it to investigate the case and find out the murderer, it is estimated that he is now planning how to enter the Shuanglong Cave. The old fat said.

"Perhaps...... He asked you to arrange Li Guofeng's funeral, and his purpose was to drag you down, so that you had no time to be distracted from Shuanglong Cave. Yan Xiaoying said.

I was silent for a while, and then said helplessly: "He has the heart to do this, even if I guard the Shuanglong Cave all day long, it's useless, just go in...... I can't blame me for their death. ”

"Aren't you worried about your wife?" Yan Xiaoying asked in surprise.

"After Li Guofeng's funeral, I want to enter the Shuanglong Cave again, this time I don't see Jingmei, I will never go down the mountain." I frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Good! My friend's wife was killed, how could I stand by and watch, and I would go in with you when the time came! Old Fat said excitedly when he heard this.

I rolled my eyes and said angrily, "I see you're a drunkard and not in the bar?" But I don't know how deep the Shuanglong Cave is, I've been at least a thousand meters into it before, but it's still not the end. The place was a cave rather than a passageway, a passage to an unknown place. ”

"Heaven Mountain is covered with clouds and mist all year round, and it is the highest mountain in this place, otherwise it would not be called Heaven Mountain. Even my grandmother and your grandfather have not been able to see the whole picture for decades. Perhaps there is really another world in the Cave of the Double Dragon, and it is not just the tomb of the evil dragon. Yan Xiaoying muttered to herself.

I looked at Lin Miao and asked, "You have also entered the Shuanglong Cave, but you can see that something is wrong?" ”

Lin Miao was silent, and then frowned and said eight words: "The yin qi is strong, and the demonic aura is soaring." ”

After listening to Lin Miao's words, we all fell silent.

I don't know how long it took before Yan Xiaoying said: "Let's talk about it after this matter, the most important thing now is Li Guofeng's corpse." The second master told me just now that Li Guofeng's corpse contains monstrous resentment, and if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that something will happen. ”

I nodded and said without surprise: "The ghost boy also reminded me before, but unfortunately Li Guofeng's parents refused to be cremated, so I plan to finish the funeral, and after they leave, dig up his body and burn it with a lychee tree." ”

Yan Xiaoying shook her head: "It's not proper, the corpse is newly buried, and it is dug up and burned to violate the taboo, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss of ten thousand tribulations, the second master suggested that we use the green bamboo burial method!" ”

"Qingzhu burial method?" Lao Fei and I were both stunned when we heard this, and even Lin Miao was aroused by curiosity.

"What's that?"

"It is a method of burial corpses, which is specially designed to deal with the monstrous corpses after death and prevent the corpses from changing." Yan Xiaoying patiently explained to us: "Legend has it that the green bamboo can block evil qi, it can trap the corpse in the ground, and it cannot be transformed, and I don't know the specific method. But the second master once used this method to bury the corpse, and he has a friendship with my grandmother, so he doesn't have to be too careful. ”

"I can't imagine that there are so many exquisiteness in the funeral!" Old Fat was surprised.

"Of course, do you think it's so simple to deal with a funeral and overkill a corpse? Even crematoriums are not so simple, let alone burials that have been popular for thousands of years? ”

Yan Xiaoying pursed her lips and said, "The burial ceremony is intricate, there is an untold story hidden behind each corpse, and the burial ceremony is different in every place and every race. It must be held with great caution, as the slightest wrong step could lead to a catastrophe. ”
