Chapter 194: Funeral in the middle of the night

"Who?" Taiye, Xiao Laodao, Xiao Shiyi, the three of them were excited at the same time, Xiao Laodao reacted the fastest, raised his head and asked the cellar entrance: "Chu Jiu, is it okay above!" ”

Soon, Xiao Chujiu's voice came: "It's okay Master, don't worry." ”

Hearing this, the three of them glanced at each other and looked at each other, and at this time, Xiao Shiyi gestured and said: The voice seems to come from these jars...... It's still a draft, and I'll revise it tomorrow when I have time.

Seeing this, the master and Xiao Laodao looked at these jars together, and Xiao Laodao asked: "Dare to ask which immortal family is talking?" ”

After asking, after a pause, the voice came again, "I'm not an immortal, just an old ghost." ”

The three of them followed the sound, looked for it among the many jars, and saw a small jar next to the many jars, no different from other jars, but the sound seemed to come from this jar, the master put down the jar in his hand, walked over and picked up the small jar, and asked, "Is this you?" ”

Immediately, the voice said, "Yes, that's me." ”

The master suddenly glanced at Xiao Laodao next to him, and the master asked, "Then how do you know that I am a dragon slayer, do you know me?" ”

The old ghost in the jar smiled: "Last night I was let out by the dog man, I checked your details, and I also went to the room where you slept to take a look, hehehehe...... It turns out that you are a group of tomb robbers. ”

Xiao Laodao came over and asked for the altar from the master, looked at the altar, and said, "This benevolent brother, you are showing up at this moment, I'm afraid you have some purpose, right?" ”

The old ghost in the jar smiled again, "You Taoist priest, you are really treacherous, yes, I have a purpose, as long as you let me out, I will tell you a big tomb, the treasure in it is enough for you to spend two lifetimes." ”

"Really?" Xiao Laodao's face was expressionless, and he seemed unmoved.

"Of course it's true, as long as you let me out, I'll tell you."

Xiao Laodao smiled, "This is simple, when I smash the jar, you will naturally be able to come out." ”

"No!" The old ghost in the altar suddenly shouted: "Don't do it! ”

"Why?" Xiao Laodao asked.

The old ghost in the altar actually stopped making a sound, and the three of them waited for a while, Xiao Laodao bent down and put the altar back again, and said, "Since you don't want to say it, then there is nothing we can do." Xiao Laodao turned his head and said to the master: "Let's go, brother, it seems that it is not easy to rescue these ghosts in the altar, let's go back and sleep, leave here tomorrow, and continue to hurry." ”

As soon as he spoke, Xiao Laodao turned around and was about to climb out of the cellar along the ladder, at this time, the old ghost in the altar spoke again, "Wait, you wait, if you want to save us, you must have a mantra to solve the spell, if there is no mantra, even if you take down the yellow talisman at the bottom of the altar, it will not help, if it is...... If you really want to save us, you should first ask the secret from the mouth of the dog Taoist. ”

After the old ghost in the altar said, Xiao Laodao frowned lightly and said, "We just met that Taoist priest, how can he tell us the mantra to solve the spell, in my opinion...... Wait for someone else to save you. With that, Xiao Laodao climbed the ladder and was about to leave.

"Wait." The old ghost of the altar shouted: "What kind of people are you, I know very well, especially this dragon slayer, righteous Bo Yuntian, you must have come here for a purpose, don't use a trick to capture an old ghost of me, if I hadn't lied to that dog Taoist priest last night, I am afraid that you would have been killed by him a long time ago." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled when he heard this, and said: "Poor Dao is not trying to catch the old man, it is really difficult to do, I want that Taoist priest to trust us and tell us the mantra to solve the curse, I am afraid that it will take a year and a half, we still have things to do, and we don't have so much spare time." ”

Xiao Lao Dao said, paused for a while, and the old ghost in the altar said, "What can you do?" It's nothing more than stealing graves and digging graves, as I said just now, I know a big tomb, as long as you can let me out, I will take you there, the things in it are enough for you to spend two lifetimes, and in the future, there will be a group of wives and concubines, glory and wealth, and you don't have to do this business anymore. ”

"So, is there really such a big tomb?" Xiao Lao Dao said suspiciously.

"It's true!"

"Good!" Xiao Laodao nodded, "I will believe you once ...... poor Dao"

A few people left the cellar and returned to the wing, the master asked Xiao Laodao how to ask the secret from the mouth of the evil man, Xiao Laodao shook his head and said: "Soul control is a confidential matter, how can he easily tell us, however, he told me in the wing room today that he has a big matter to do, and we need us to help him." ”

"What's the big deal?"

Xiao Laodao said: "According to this place to the southwest of a hundred miles, there is a cliff, the local people call it 'Soul Cliff', next to the Soul Cliff, there is a mountain stream, called 'Immortal Stream', the evil Taoist priest said to me, if someone dies in the local area, the relatives of the deceased only need to stand on the Soul Cliff and shout in the immortal stream, and the deceased will be able to come back from the dead......

"Really?" The grandfather was a little incredulous.

"The truth is not yet known, but this evil Taoist collects souls and controls ghosts, just to go to the bottom of the immortal stream, he said that under the immortal stream, there is the secret of immortality, collect all the souls, and you can break through the stream."

When the master heard this, he felt a little fantastical, and the master said: "Where in this world is there any immortality, the evil Taoist collects the soul and controls the ghost, and wants to go down the mountain stream, but I am afraid that it has another purpose." ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head, "He has no other purpose, he just wants to live forever, and he is the remnant of the Qingshui Cult, and he still has a secret recipe for refining the elixir of immortality with virgins and men in his hand, when I talked to him about speculation, he also took out the secret recipe and showed it to me, there were two vague medicinal references on it, he thought I didn't see it, in fact, the medicinal quotations were the objects on the bodies of virgins and boys." ”

"So what do we do now?" The master said: "Otherwise, I will go to his room now, force him to say the mantra to solve the curse, and then kill him with one sword!" ”

Xiao Laodao waved his hand lightly, "I'm afraid I can't force it out, the old man who died in the town this time happens to be the hundredth soul, the hundred souls have been collected by the evil Taoist, and now the hour is missing, when the time comes, the evil Taoist wants us to go back to the Soul Cliff with him......" Speaking of this, Xiao Laodao paused, and then said: "Set off in five days, that is to say, we must get the mantra to solve the spell within five days, otherwise, these ghosts will be taken to the Soul Cliff." ”

"So what the hell is to be done?"

Xiao Laodao said: "We only have two choices now, first, leave here and don't care about things here; Second, go back to the Soul Cliff with the evil Taoist, and on the way back to the Soul Cliff, I should be able to get the mantra out of his mouth. Brother, you say, should we go, or should we stay? ”

The master immediately said: "There is no turning back when you open the bow, of course you have to stay!" ”

"Good!" Xiao Laodao nodded thoughtfully.

Early the next morning, Xiao Laodao took advantage of the fact that the evil Taoist and his disciples had not gotten up yet, and called everyone up early, including the showman, and everyone gathered together.

The girl didn't say a word, she is also a child of the rivers and lakes, and she has the pride of chivalry and righteousness, but the old man can't do it, he is strongly opposed, and the old man said to Xiao Laodao: "Xiao Daochang, why do we provoke these cultists, yesterday you asked me to help you deceive the evil Taoist together, and find a good hole in the bad land, I looked for it, but when I looked for it, I was scared, I was afraid that he would see it." The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, we can't afford to mess with him. ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly laughed, "Brother, what you said is not good, everyone will be punished for this kind of evil man, let alone an evil Taoist, last year we also offended a group of human traffickers and killed several of them, and now those human traffickers are still looking for us." As for people, they can't just live for themselves, but when they have the ability, they should also help others. ”

The old man shook his head suddenly, "I don't have the ability." ”

Xiao Laodao smiled again, "Why don't you have the ability, didn't you also help others yesterday, the cave eye you are looking for, although it is not a rich and noble place, it can also keep their family safe and sound." ”

The old man glanced at Xiao Laodao, and said nothing, Xiao Laodao then said to everyone: "We only need to endure for five days, maybe we can't endure for five days, as long as I get the trick out of the mouth of the evil Taoist, we can leave, right old brother......" Xiao Laodao looked at the old man and said: "Among those ghosts, there is an old ghost, he knows a big tomb, if it is true, we will be developed this time." ”

When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said to Xiao Laodao: "No wonder you want to release those ghosts, you are really a person who is not profitable and can't afford to be early!" ”

There was nothing to do on this day, Xiao Laodao had been looking for evil people for a day, and a few people from the master had wandered around their town and outside the town for a day, although they were all pretending to be troublesome, but they were quite idle on the surface.

On the third day, the day when the deceased in the town was buried, the evil Taoist put on Taoist robes for the grandfather, saying that they would be their own people in the future, and there was no need to hide some things, so they would go over to the old man's funeral together at night.

In the evening, the evil man left his apprentices, took the grandfather and a few people, and came to the deceased's house together.

At this time, the coffin of the deceased had been moved to the outside of the mourning shed, and outside the mourning shed, the filial sons and grandsons knelt in a large area.

At this time, the evil Taoist motioned to Xiao Shiyi, took out the jar in the coffin, and held it in his arms. This was all said on the way over, Xiao Shiyi was very obedient at this time, and went over to the coffin and took out the jar.

Subsequently, the evil people started to do the rituals, and the rituals were very cumbersome, while doing the rituals, they also had to ask the relatives of the deceased to be extremely strong, and after going back and forth, after a toss, the time came to the third watch.

At this time, the evil man shouted for the spirit, and the barmen invited by the deceased's family hurriedly removed the offering table and other objects in front of the funeral shed, and carried the coffin with a pole.

Subsequently, the evil Taoist walked in front with the bell, Xiao Shiyi held the altar and followed him, and the master and several people, each holding a flag, followed Xiao Shiyi, and then behind was the coffin of the deceased, and behind the coffin was the relatives of the deceased.

The evil priest explained to them, no one could say anything, let alone cry, and quietly buried the dead, so that the souls of the dead could be at peace.

However, just as the coffin walked under the window of an inn, the evil Taoist priest stopped, turned around and whispered to Xiao Shiyi: "Watch your step, don't stumble, don't throw the jar on the ground......"

When the master heard this, he turned his head to look at the window of the inn, and said in his heart, isn't this the room I lived in before? The master suddenly remembered, last time it should have been this evil man late at night, and the disciple holding the altar tripped here inexplicably, dropped the altar, and was scolded by him a few words. The next day, the evil Taoist did the spiritualism at the Taoist temple, which was supposed to be to summon the ghost who ran out of the altar, and then the ghost came to his disciple's body.

Today, this evil Taoist priest may be afraid that Xiao Shiyi will stumble inexplicably, and then break the jar and release the ghost out, so he deliberately confessed to him.

After the evil Taoist priest finished explaining, Xiao Shiyi hurriedly nodded, the evil Taoist was still a little uneasy, looked around, and then looked at his feet, and saw that there was indeed nothing around and on the road, so he rang the bell and continued to lead the way.

Xiao Shiyi held the altar on his side and passed under the window of the inn......
