Uncle Jiu and Wen Cai took their guests to a simple house, only to see a plaque hanging diagonally on the outer door, on which were written two vague upright characters - Yizhuang.

It has already passed the fourth watch, and this time is not suitable for walking outside with guests, and you must find a place to rest, and Yizhuang all over the south has become the best place for corpse chasers to rest and corpses to park.

In fact, the original Yizhuang was not used to park the corpse, Yizhuang first originated in the Song Dynasty, its original meaning is the clan owned by the land, also called Yitian, belongs to the ancient Chinese society, founded by a family of a charity, is an economic entity that does good things for the clan, because it is generally built in the countryside, market town, so called "Yizhuang".

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Fan Zhongyan purchased land in his hometown of Suzhou with a fortune and operated it in a tenant system.

After business development, the peak of the paradigm Yizhuang accounted for more than 3,000 acres of land, and the rented rice obtained by Yizhuang was distributed to the men and women of the clan according to the population, and the clansmen could get certain subsidies for marriage, funerals, and imperial examinations.

In addition, there is also a righteous house in Yizhuang, which can be borrowed by the clansmen, and if the house needs to be repaired, they will try to do it themselves.

Later, Fan Zhongyan's practice was popularized, and a large number of Yizhuang appeared in various places, and similar ethnic properties, as well as Yiwu, Yixue, Yizuka, etc., which is a unique cultural phenomenon in China.

Later, Yizhuang Society evolved into the morgue that many people remembered, but it was not entirely out of nowhere.

The ancient Chinese custom is called - heavy death is not rebirth, the so-called "the dead are great".

In ancient times, it was very difficult for people to leave the clan and go out, not only because of the system, but also because of the restrictions on transportation and other aspects, so if a stranger who died unexpectedly was found in the township, then nine times out of ten it was nearby, or even the people of the sect, and before no one came to claim it, people would temporarily put the body in Yizhuang.

In addition, there are some Yizhuang purely charities established by the local government, in order to provide relief to the victims during the famine, which has little to do with the local clan, and those unidentified corpses found in the vicinity will be temporarily placed in Yizhuang, and if no one claims them for a period of time, they will be disposed of.

Coupled with the publicity of various film and television works, Yizhuang has become a morgue in the impression of many modern people, which is very eerie.

"Master, this place is too ......" Wen Cai saw this tattered Yizhuang, and was very disgusted, but he didn't dare to say it directly.

Because Uncle Nine had told him before that there was an old-timer of the Maoshan faction living in Yizhuang, Uncle Nine had to call him Uncle Shi, that is, his uncle ancestor, Wencai usually disliked some small things, and he was open-mouthed, Uncle Nine would not punish him much, but if he didn't respect the teacher, he might even be expelled from the school.

After Wencai apprenticed to Uncle Jiu, he has always lived in Yizhuang, although it is not good-looking, but it is also neat and clean, but this Yizhuang in front of him, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a dilapidated house that has been abandoned for a long time, Wencai didn't even dare to take the initiative to knock on the door, he was worried that the plaque on it would fall down and hit him, this thing was crumbling and didn't look safe.

"Go knock on the door, you have to get used to these, when you become a teacher in the future, when you can drive out the corpse, it is a common thing to live in Yizhuang, most of the environment in Yizhuang is relatively ordinary, you have to be prepared." Uncle Nine said.

"Generally, hehe, master, this is also ......" Under the murderous eyes of Uncle Jiu, Wen Cai controlled his desire very well, covered his mouth, bent over, stared at the plaque that was crooked and slanted on it, and could fall at any time, and stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Wen Cai is ready now, in his mind, this Yizhuang must be covered with cobwebs everywhere, covered with thick dust, I am afraid that after entering, I will have to work as a coolie, and I will have to clean up for half a day before resting, maybe I will have to sleep on the coffin.

It's a hard life.

"Hey, master, the door is locked." Wen Cai originally thought that Uncle Jiu asked him to "knock on the door" to go through a procedure, after all, who would come from such a broken place, there was no need to lock it at all, not to mention that Uncle Shi and his old man might have gone to bed a long time ago, knock on the door, mean it, and then push the door in.

But Wen Cai found that the door could not be opened.

Uncle Nine shook his head, stepped forward, pulled Wen Cai away, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and said respectfully: "Uncle Liu." ”

"Master, if you whisper like this, how can Uncle Shi hear it!" Wen Cai said.

It seemed that it was specifically for the slap in the face, and as soon as Wen Cai's words fell, he heard a hoarse and old voice from inside, saying, "Is it A-Ying?" ”

"It's my nephew, who is nagging my uncle in the middle of the night." Uncle Nine said.

"Da Da Da ......"

From the crack in the door, you can see that the lights are lit up in the house, followed by a sound of footsteps, stopping in front of the door, the door slowly opened, only to see a gray-haired, thin-faced old man holding an oil lamp, standing at the door, this is the Maoshan faction predecessor in the mouth of the ninth uncle - Uncle Liu.

After seeing the dignity of this uncle, Wen Cai was a little disappointed, he originally thought that the existence of this level of Uncle Ancestor should be a senior master with a crane hair and a childish face, just like the founder of the Maoshan faction enshrined in the lobby, but he didn't expect that this Uncle Liu was not much different from Uncle Zhao of the family next door, and even worse.

Uncle Liu saw more than a dozen walking corpses following behind Uncle Jiu and asked, "Hey, A-Ying, when did you take over the business again?" ”

"I've met my uncle, and the four-eyed junior brother has recently had some insights, but the business has been taken over and can't be pushed, so I asked my nephew to help." Uncle Nine said.

"Four-eyed, that little guy can finally settle down and cultivate, time is really fast, who is this young man?"

"This is the apprentice that my nephew accepted not long ago, and Wen Cai hasn't seen his uncle yet." Uncle Nine said.

"Wen Cai has seen Uncle Shi." Wen Cai hurriedly put Huang Chong aside, knelt down and said.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoying, you're starting to accept apprentices, okay, hey, what is this?" Looking at the humanoid foreign object wrapped in the yellow talisman, Uncle Liu asked.

Without waiting for Uncle Nine to answer, Uncle Liu patted his head and said, "Oh, people are old, they are all confused, they only care about talking, you come in first, you can place the guests in the guest room on the left, I will prepare some food for you, settle it, and then come to eat." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

Saying that, the Ninth Uncle's Law Finger Void was dotted on the forehead of the guest who was at the beginning, and with a movement of his fingers, those guests lined up, followed the guidance of the Ninth Uncle's Law Finger, and jumped into Yizhuang neatly, heading towards the guest room on the left.
