"Your dad is really ruthless!"

Since I woke up from my coma, Jiang Yifeng has said this to me the most.

At the gate of the Misty Forest that day, he rushed up and picked up a stick that was thicker than his arm that he had picked up from nowhere, and it was a cruel stick to my head.

Why he hit me with that stick, I still can't figure it out later. But he was more willing to believe that it was he who didn't want me to take the risk out of some father-son affection.

However, in the mouth of Jiang Yifeng, the only eyewitness at that time, that stick seemed to be really going for his life.

"I said Jiujiao, don't believe it." Jiang Yifeng swore to me and said, "I've heard that it takes the same amount of strength to knock people out and knock them out as it takes to beat them to death. In other words, this kind of thing is all about luck. died, he did it on purpose. To live is your own life. If you still have illusions about him by this time, then I really don't have much to say. ”

"What about others?" I asked.

"Gone." Jiang Yifeng replied, looking at his appearance, as if he really didn't want to mention the matter about my father, "You have been in a coma for two days and three nights, if there is really anything good to tell you, then it is probably that the matter of the tomb owner is really solved." No new dead people have been found on the grave hill, but you have another business to do, and a lot of business to do. ”

"No dead people, where did the business come from?" I'm strange, I'm a dead man's eater, and the undead certainly have no business.

But when Jiang Yifeng heard this, he looked at me as if he was looking at a fool, shook his head and said, "Are you really beaten stupid?" Yes, there are no new dead people, but there are still seven corpses parked in our village waiting for you to converge! In addition to the family surnamed Xu, there are six other people who also have to hold a funeral in this village. You say, it's none of your business? Isn't it your business? ”

I couldn't sit still.

Those seven people were all scared to death by the ghosts, and it can be said that the resentment on them was much heavier than that of the other dead people.

When I first came back, I just wanted to stop the ghost from doing bad things again, so I went straight to the grave mountain with a roar.

But at this time, I heard that their bodies are still in the village, where can they still sit?

With such a big grievance, once the corpse is raised, won't all the corpses have to be raised together?

With this in mind, I quickly sat up.

Seeing this, Jiang Yifeng hurriedly reached out and held me down.

"Jiujiao! Okay, okay, can't I call you the ninth master? Don't move, okay? The doctor said that you have to stay in bed for at least two days before you can get out of bed! Don't joke with your body! ”

Of course I refused to give in, "Yifeng, don't stop me, I have to deal with those corpses, otherwise I ......"

"Otherwise what? What's so good otherwise? Jiang Yifeng pressed me back, frowned and said, "If you really want to pick up the corpse, then it's too late for you to go now!" It's been so many days, the corpse should have been raised a long time ago, and it has been waiting until now? Rest assured! On the day we went up to the grave mountain, the old man came to the village after him, and said that he had forgotten to explain a few words to you. I heard that we went to the mountain, and we beat our chests for a while! I said it hurt you. Later, seeing that you came back well, he was relieved to go back to town. No, the corpses in the village, he has dealt with them for you. Although he is not a professional, he also eats this bowl of dead man's rice in the end, and he knows some truths, and there will be no problem for the time being. However, he said that if you want to find a way to give them a boost before they are buried, at least so that they can be reincarnated smoothly, even if it is not for their own safety, it can be regarded as accumulating some yin virtue! ”

"Excess?" I was stunned.

I'm not a monk, where can I give people excess?

Besides, after this incident, especially a few days ago, I also heard the old man who carved the stele say that the mantras to those Taoist disciples are not just ordinary people who can use them if they want to, and they will make a big mess if they are used casually. Come to think of it, giving people excess or something, although it is the patent of Buddhist disciples, it should be about the same. A layman like me, shouldn't he just grab someone's job?

Jiang Yifeng smiled when he saw me like this, "Tell me about you, sometimes, you are bold and scary." You knew you couldn't enter the misty forest, but you almost followed that ghost into it. But sometimes, you're so timid! What are you afraid of? What do you do as coffin bearers? Isn't it just to reassure the living and send the deceased to reincarnation? The old man said that you don't have to recite the scriptures! Isn't it good to do something that can make them feel at ease to reincarnate and reincarnate, so that they don't trouble you? ”

Explained in this way, I naturally understood the intention of the old man who carved the monument.

"In fact, if you can find a good monument, the effect will definitely be better."

"So, the old man said, when you bury them properly, and then go to the town, he will personally help you pick a monument, and you will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

The words left by the old man on the monument reassured me.

Although it is unlikely that things will go in a worse direction, in the end, those seven people are not buried, and my heart is not completely down. So, after hesitating for a while, I decided to get up.

But Jiang Yifeng stopped me again.

"Can you please stop being so tough!" He stared at me with a not-so-good-looking face, "Alright, alright, just do your duty!" It's just your bodhisattva's heart, okay? But you can't go against the odds, can you? Things have to follow the rules of our ancestors! Do you know how many numbers there are today? ”

After being reminded by him, I quickly calculated it.

According to the lunar calendar, today is exactly the seventh day of the lunar month.

According to the tradition of the coffin bearer, 'seven are not buried, and eight are not buried'. This means that if a mortal dies on the 7th, 8th, 17th, 18th, 27th, and 28th days, he will not be able to be buried.

There are many theories about the reasons for this tradition, and they vary. But it is still that sentence, every truth passed down by the ancestors has been washed with countless blood, and every word represents a human life. As a junior, if you really respect the tradition and cherish your own life and the lives of others, you can't easily destroy it.

Jiang Yifeng looked at me and said with a smile: "Figured it out, right?" It's not that you won't be allowed to go, it's that you won't be able to go at all today and tomorrow. You can't do anything when you go, so let's rest! ”
