Chapter 4: Task 2

Early the next morning after the night attack of the female ghost, Bai Mei hurried down the mountain. According to Bai Mei's idea, since there will be female ghosts attacking him, have the townspeople of Qingshi Town under the mountain also been attacked?

Sure enough, when Bai Mei passed by the wood-cutting forest on the way down the mountain, the wood, which should have been full of woodcutters, was empty and lonely today, and there was no one in sight, and even when Bai Mei got closer, he saw two or three firewood knives thrown on the ground

This firewood knife is a guy who eats for the family, how can it be thrown on the ground indiscriminately...... As soon as he thought of this, the faint uneasiness in Bai Mei's heart beat even more violently.

Quickly descended the mountain, and before he reached the entrance of the town, wisps of mourning and crying reached Bai Mei's ears. The door of a house near the entrance of the town was covered with white cloth at the moment, and many townspeople gathered around the door, stretching out their heads to look in from time to time.

Approaching the family, the crowd on the inner and outer three floors blocked Bai Mei out.

"Big brother, what's wrong with this family. You're all gathered around here to watch. Bai Mei, who really couldn't get in, could only pat a big brother standing in front of him and asked.

"Feng Laosan went to collect firewood yesterday afternoon, but he didn't come back overnight. His wife originally thought that she had gone to that friend's house to drink, but this morning when the townspeople went to the woods to collect firewood, they found Feng Laosan lying on the ground, and everyone thought he was drunk at first.

But after screaming several times and not waking up, everyone turned it over and took a look, only to find that the person was dead, and ......" Speaking of this, the eldest brother quietly lowered his voice: "When Feng Laosan died, his throat was bitten by something, and only half of it was still attached to his neck.

Some people say that they were attacked by some wild object, but it is impossible for a wild object to attack people and not eat them, and the corpses are thrown there. Later, some old people in the town said that they had been killed by something unclean.

also asked Feng Laosan's mother-in-law to burn Feng Laosan quickly. ”

Hearing this, Bai Meixin said sure enough, and then asked, "Is the corpse burned?"

"What are you burning, this person died without a vigilance, and he didn't burn the shop. How could it just burn like this. No, even the townsfolk are here, and this matter seems to be a big deal. ”

After listening to what the eldest brother said, Bai Mei slowly withdrew from the crowd, and quietly came to the outside of the wall of Feng Laosan's house.

At this moment, the eaves of the Feng family's courtyard are full of white silk, and many relatives and friends of the Feng family are sitting outside the house, but fortunately, the place where the white eyebrows are raised is a corner, and no one sees it.

In the hall of the Feng family's east house, there were faint bursts of sobbing and persuasion.

Pretending to be calm, Bai Mei sat on a bench expressionlessly, and the person next to him looked at him strangely, and Bai Mei also looked back and showed a smirk.

After a while, an old man wearing a fine silk coat and a smooth and shiny cane walked out, and when he saw the old man come out, the people in the courtyard all stood up consciously and said in a low voice: "Good fellow." ”

The old man nodded slightly, waved his hand, and then walked out of the Feng family's courtyard with the support of a middle-aged man behind him.

After the old man left, a woman wearing filial piety clothes came out of the main hall, who was about forty years old, and it should be Feng Laosan's wife.

Feng Laosan's wife walked out of the main hall, and walked straight to the kitchen, and soon brought out a small bowl.

Standing up, Bai Mei silently followed behind Feng Laosan's wife and walked towards the main hall. As soon as he walked to the door of the main hall, the wings of Bai Mei's nose fluttered twice.

It stinks...... There are no advanced ice coffins in this era, and the temperature is hot in this weather, and Feng Laosan's corpse has begun to emit a disgusting corpse smell

His brows furrowed tightly into a Sichuan character, and Bai Mei stepped into the main hall. In the sparsely decorated main hall, a pitch-black coffin lay straight in the center of the room, and Feng Laosan, who had changed into a shroud, was lying in it at the moment.

It seemed that in order to make Feng Laosan's death more decent, the wound on his neck was also covered with a cloth.

A person suddenly broke into the room, and the people inside were stunned for a moment, and they didn't seem to know each other after thinking about it.

"This ...... Who are you looking for, Xiaodao Chief?" Feng Laosan's wife, Feng Ping, still had red eyes, and looked at the young man who suddenly broke in suspiciously.

"Oh, in the Lower Shu Mountain Sword Sect white eyebrows. Bowing down, Bai Mei walked to Feng Laosan's coffin in two steps, his nose twitched twice, and a little light flashed in his eyes: "This eldest sister, the eldest brother died for some reason, I know that your family is very sad, but there is something I have to say here."

Staring at Feng Ping's eyes, Bai Mei firmly spit out a sentence: "Big brother's body, I can't keep it!"

"What?" Bai Mei's strange eyes made Feng Ping's face even more puzzled,

Knowing that he said this, the person concerned would not believe it. Bai Mei pursed his lips, and suddenly reached out and lifted the piece of cloth around the neck of Feng Laosan's body.

"Ah, what are you doing!" Seeing that Bai Mei suddenly attacked the body, Feng Laosan's brother and uncle in the room all stood up and looked at Bai Mei angrily.

"Everyone, please calm your anger first, and then take a look at it. Explaining in a sincere tone, Bai Mei stretched out his hand and pointed at Feng Laosan's neck.

Everyone looked at the white eyebrows, and their faces suddenly changed, only to see that a thick and dense black mesh on Feng Laosan's neck was tightly covered on it, and the people who looked at it at a glance were extremely disgusting.

Then Bai Mei opened Feng Laosan's mouth again, and everyone who looked at it with sharp canine teeth was even more frightened.

Covering her mouth, Feng Ping's tears couldn't stop falling, and her voice trembled: "Third child...... How could it be...... How did it become like this? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, killing Brother Feng is not a normal creature, as the old man in the town said. Because Brother Feng was killed by them, he will become a monster that takes people's lives after tonight, so for safety, everyone should burn Brother Feng's body. ”

When approaching the door of the Feng family's main hall, Bai Mei once asked about a foul smell, ordinary people would only smell it as the normal smell of corpses, but as a monk, Bai Mei keenly found a trace of unusual smell from it.

It smelled like the female ghost who attacked him last night.

And after entering the main hall and approaching Feng Laosan's body, the smell became even stronger, and it mainly emanated from Feng Laosan's neck and mouth.

"Pingzi, listen to this little brother, put the third ...... Burn it. Just when everyone was shocked by Feng Laosan's corpse and was silent for a while, an old woman sitting in the corner with a haggard face spoke at this time.

"Niang ......" pounced on the old woman's body, and Feng Ping's tears flowed down. The sad old woman stroked Feng Ping's hair: "The third child has done his duty all his life and treats people honestly. If he was still here, he wouldn't allow himself to ...... like this."

The old woman raised her head to look at Bai Mei, who realized that the old woman's eyes were gray and blind, and she was actually blind. Touched in his heart, Bai Mei bowed his hand to the old woman: "The eldest lady is kind-hearted, if Brother Feng has a spirit in the sky, he can also look at it." ”

"No! This wake is not over, and the body can't be burned!" Just when Bai Mei moved Mrs. Bai Mei to be reasonable, a man wearing a cloth suit and two beards suddenly jumped out to stop Bai Mei from burning the body!

The bearded man walked quickly to the old woman's side, squatted down and whispered into the old woman's ear: "Mother~ This wake has just begun, and many relatives and friends have not yet come. If the body is burned now, the gold will not be collected. ”

Bang!

A palm slapped on the coffin, and Bai Mei shouted angrily: "Presumptuous!" As a monk, Bai Mei's hearing is naturally far beyond ordinary people, and Bai Mei, the whispering of the bearded man and the old woman, can also be heard clearly. It was a matter of human life, but it was blocked for money, and when he heard this, Bai Mei's heart suddenly became angry.

The true qi in his body was about to move, and a majestic momentum suddenly rose on Bai Mei's body, and a roar of anger frightened the bearded man to kneel on the ground with a soft leg.

And when he came back to his senses, his face was red and he was angry to find Bai Mei's theory, a clearly visible palm print on the coffin next to Bai Mei suddenly made him swallow the foul words in his stomach again.

Raising his eyebrows and looking around, Bai Mei said in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who wants to stop it now?"

There was silence in the main hall

His face softened slightly, and he said with white eyebrows: "In this case, please empty the yard." We will immediately cremate Brother Feng's body. “

As soon as they heard that Feng Laosan's body was about to be cremated, the townspeople gathered at the door of Feng's house exploded. Feng Laosan's body was cremated so quickly, which undoubtedly confirmed that he was killed by evil things.

The townspeople, who had remained unconcerned and hung high, suddenly felt a chilling wind around the back of their necks. Since that evil thing can kill Feng Laosan, I don't know who he will harm next time. As soon as he thought of this, most of the townspeople at the gate suddenly dispersed.

At this moment, the white eyebrows of the other townspeople were leading people to transfer Feng Laosan's body to the pyre.

Picking up the torch, Bai Mei stretched out his hand to just point it, but suddenly remembered something, turned around and came to the old woman, bent down and said softly: "Auntie, Brother Feng was born to you, and you brought him to this world." For this last journey, it's up to you to see him off. ”

Tremblingly took the torch, and tears flashed in the old woman's gray eyes: "Okay, let me see my son off for the last time." ”

The pyre poured with fire oil burst into flames as soon as it caught fire.

Standing in front of the main hall, Bai Mei quietly looked at the burning pyre, the fire light was reflected in Bai Mei's pupils, and the blazing flames dyed Bai Mei's face into a red glow.

Suddenly, when everyone didn't realize it, a thin black gas came out of the mouth and nose of Feng Laosan's corpse, and the wisp of black gas suspended on the flame slowly twisted towards Bai Mei, which felt like staring at Bai Mei.

Stared at by this weird black qi, Bai Mei was fearless, sneered, flicked his thumb, and half an inch of Qingfeng came out of the sheath. A sharp momentum suddenly rose on Bai Mei's body!

Reluctantly, he twisted his body, and the next second the flames floated up, and the black gas disappeared.

There was no crematorium like in the previous life, and a corpse with white eyebrows burned for an hour before it was completely burned. whispered a few words to a person next to him, the man nodded to understand, this person was also in the main hall just now, and saw Bai Mei easily imprint his palm print on the coffin, and at this moment he was shocked and frightened by Bai Meishi.

After a while, Bai Mei walked up to the old woman and Feng Ping with a small porcelain urn: "Brother Feng's body has been cremated, and the ashes that have been collected at this time." You can keep it for the sacrifice, or you can put it in the ground, and take it. ”

"Thank you......" pursed her lips, Feng Ping held back her tears and held the ash altar in her arms, tears dripping on it, gently washing the floating ash on it.
