Chapter 21: Counting the number of people

Tang Chen seemed to be listening to some stories with interest, and when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, Tang Chen felt that there was some cold air here, and the master stopped at the foot of the mountain for a while, and then changed the position of the personnel. Lu Kangping walked to Tang Chen and Li Yunfei's side: "You two go to the front with me!" ”

Li Yunfei said: "Why do we want to go to the front?" We're good in the back. ”

"I'm afraid of danger, I can protect you ahead!"

In this way, Tang Chen and Li Yunfei replaced the positions of the two who followed Lu Kangping and stood beside Lu Kangping. It was only a short journey from the bottom of the mountain to the burial place, except for the fact that there would often be some floating spirits in the mountains and forests, there seemed to be no abnormality, and Tang Chen and Li Yunfei really didn't have anything to do when they walked in front.

When they arrived at the grave bag, the master asked the two butchers to dig up the grave together, and an ordinary pine coffin appeared in front of them, the coffin was oiled with some brown-red paint, seeing that the forest here was deep and the sun was shading, and the yin qi began to gradually become heavier, and even those butchers who were five big and three thick felt some coolness, rubbing their arms with their hands.

As soon as the master saw the position of the coffin, his expression began to become a little dignified, and he commanded them to rush the head of the coffin to the southeast and the tail to the northwest, and changed the direction from before, and said to the housekeeper: "You should have found me a long time ago, this coffin is not placed correctly, I don't know if your master has a grudge against the Taoist priest or what, he actually let you keep the coffin like this!" What a great disrespect to the dead! ”

A group of people were working on the coffin, and Lu Kangping didn't seem to be very interested in the coffin, so he walked around, and then from time to time he would pick up a few bushes as if he was looking for something.

Falling from the coffin, under the command of the master, the butler scattered a handful of paper money, and with a voice: "Fall to the ground!" Countless birds in the forest flew up, and the black pressure flew away, and the movement was especially abrupt in the coming night. The butchers began to fall into the ground and bury them, and in a short time only a grave bag remained.

The forest in this mountain is dense, and there is only one path that is not very wide from the mountain down to the mountain, which can barely accommodate two people to pass together, and the descent itself is much more strenuous than going up the mountain, so the sky is completely dark, even if there are no dirty things, no one wants to stay in this place where it is a grave, so they plan to hurry down the mountain, the housekeeper in front of the lamp and candle to lead the way, followed by the master and then Lu Kangping, behind Lu Kangping is Tang Chen and Li Yunfei, and behind are those butchers and shrews, The two people who followed Lu Kangping walked at the end.

Li Yunfei seemed to be a little disappointed: "It's going to go down the mountain, nothing has happened, it's really boring!" ”

A shrew in the back heard this: "Is it funny that we have to die here too?" Whose hairy child is this, can say such things. ”

Li Yunfei turned his face and smiled, he could only see the person behind him by the faint candlelight, and he couldn't see her expression at all.

Lu Kang said indifferently: "Don't worry, isn't it that you haven't reached the bottom of the mountain yet?" ”

After walking for a while, the team suddenly stopped, and one of the butchers behind him crashed into the person in front of him without noticing, and the shrew just wanted to curse the street, but the words came to her lips but did not say anything. Without the sound of footsteps, it seemed to be a completely quiet environment, and all the insects and birds they heard when they went up the mountain were all gone, and the whole environment was filled with an eerie silence, as if they were in a cemetery, and this is a cemetery!

"What's wrong?" Tang Chen subconsciously asked, he touched the gun in his pocket, looked around, and saw that the housekeeper in front of him raised his right hand to let everyone stop, generally speaking, in this kind of funeral, whether it is on the way to come or back, it is important to pay attention to going smoothly, no matter what, it should not stop, even if it has to stop, it should burn paper in the place where it stopped, and then it can leave, otherwise this is a very unlucky thing.

Suddenly, there was a very quiet and unusually strange atmosphere in the team. The master walked up to the butler in front of him, and he didn't know what to say, but the butler waved his hand before the team began to walk again.

Li Yunfei patted his shoulder in front of him, and then said to Tang Chen without looking back: "You also pat your shoulder, walking at night for fear of something unclean to keep up." ”

Tang Chen hesitated for a moment, but in the shadow of the lamplight, he saw that the housekeeper who was walking in the front also made the same action, he couldn't help but feel some hairs on his back, could it be that he had really encountered something unusual?

Lu Kangping, who was in front, seemed to have deliberately slowed down his pace, and asked Li Yunfei in a low voice, "What do you see?" ”

Li Yunfei looked around and found that there was nothing and frowned: "This person is scary, scared to death; Lu Kangping, don't scare me! ”

Lu Kangping looked at Tang Chen again: "Tang Gongzi, can you see something?" ”

Tang Chen didn't speak, just shook his head, looking at the forest that he didn't know how deep it was, this kind of darkness still made him feel a little uncomfortable, coupled with the inexplicable words that Lu Kangping said before, he would inevitably think that there was something in the forest looking at them! , Everything is normal in the forest, occasionally a little phosphorus fire floats out of the grave, this is very normal, walk a few steps and see a few spirits standing next to the grave, this is exactly the same as when they came, there is no abnormality! At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure flash through the forest, and he quickly turned his head to startle the people next to him, and when he looked at it again, he found nothing.

At this time, a person suddenly walked up to the front and happened to hit Tang Chen, Tang Chen turned around sharply, and the person made an apologetic gesture after crossing Tang Chen, and then said to the master: "Master, this number is a little wrong!" ”

The master was also stunned for a moment, and the shrews next to him began to mess up when they heard this, and the master said: "This direction is full of yang energy, besides, there will be no accident with me and General Lu in charge, continue to go!" ”

After speaking, the master deliberately walked to Tang Chen's side: "Childe, can you help me count how many people are at this funeral?" ”

Tang Chen frowned, it is said that such things are done by special people, and he can't be arranged here anyway, he has some suspicions that he misunderstood what the master meant, and confirmed: "Me? ”

"That's right!"

Li Yunfei saw the master's eyes next to him and knew that there must be something extraordinary and said, "I'm coming, I'm with him!" ”
