Chapter 29: The Funeral

The few big men who came to lift the lid of the coffin are not only physically more powerful, but also one of the best in Zhaojia Village, and they usually encounter the so-called haunted incidents, and generally these big men don't take it seriously, and this is not the first time to help the villagers cover the coffin.

But to say that the corpse sat up silently from the coffin, let alone these big men, even Yu Chen, who had already held a hundred funerals, had never seen it. For a moment, several big men stayed where they were, and then shouted 'haunted' and ran out of the funeral shed.

Wu Yu's heart was in his throat at the moment, and it was the first time he had seen such a strange scene, he really didn't expect the corpse to be able to sit up. Yu Chen looked at the corpse that sat up, and then looked at the little fox in Wu Yu's arms, and saw that the little fox just glanced at it and closed his eyes again, as if he had no interest in the corpse in front of him sitting up.

Yu Chen hurriedly grabbed a handful of incense ashes from the incense burner, fortunately, there were more relatives and friends in the countryside, and there were many people who made incense, and the incense burner was already full of incense ashes in less than two days. Yu Chen cautiously approached the coffin, seeing that the corpse in the coffin did not react, just kept a sitting posture, Yu Chen quickly sprinkled the incense ashes into the coffin, and he turned around and quickly retreated.

The incense ashes were sprinkled into the coffin, but did not fall to the bottom of the coffin or the corpse, but most of the incense ashes floated an inch away from the corpse.

Wu Yu was stunned by the phenomenon of incense ashes floating next to the corpse in front of him, it was impossible for such a stable wind to appear in the coffin, and it could drag the incense ashes steadily beside the corpse. Wu Yu looked at the corpse sitting up, there was nothing to be afraid of the corpse of the old man in front of him, and even Wu Yu seemed to see that the face of the old man's corpse was a little more rosy at the moment.

Yu Chen obviously also saw that something was wrong, and the incense ash was also a positive substance. According to his understanding, unless there was a strong yang energy on the corpse of this old lady, the incense ash would not be controlled just an inch away from the corpse.

When Yu Chen was thinking about what was going on, Old Man Zhao walked over with courage. At this time, most of the people were far away from the spirit shed, although there were also people with strong curiosity who were hiding outside the spirit shed to peek, but no one dared to come boldly to come over.

Looking at this old man Zhao's reluctant look, it was obvious that he also walked in hard at this moment. Yu Chen didn't pay much attention to him, still thinking about the strange phenomenon in front of him, and in a trance, he seemed to have discovered something.

Old man Zhao also had no choice, if it wasn't for his old mother who was buried, he wouldn't dare to enter such a spiritual shed if he was killed. trembling his legs and barely walked to Yu Chen's side: "Daxian, what's going on, is there something on my old mother's mind!" ”

Although Yu Chen frowned a little, he also knew that he couldn't show his bottom in front of outsiders, so he pretended to be relaxed and said: "This is a normal phenomenon, there was a burial place in ancient times, and there could be no cat within five steps, otherwise the corpse would stand up." In fact, it is the same as the current state, whether it is a cat or a fox, their hair is relatively long and will have static electricity, so under the action of static electricity, the muscles of the corpse are stimulated, and they will naturally sit up. Just call a few energetic people over and take a thick wooden stick and knock the body down. ”

Yu Chen's acting skills are still relatively good, after all, he has experienced a lot of things, so this pretending relaxed posture makes Old Man Zhao feel a lot more at ease. Old man Zhao hurriedly turned around and said to several strong men outside the spirit shed: "What are you afraid of, you are all Li Kui's figure, how can you be less courageous than an old man like me." Daxian said, this is a normal phenomenon, go and get a wooden stick, put the old lady down, and quickly cover the coffin and bury it. ”

Although those men had palpitations, they saw that the so-called two great immortals were standing in the spirit shed and did not move, and the old man of the Zhao family also said that it was okay, and hurriedly went around to find wooden sticks.

Yu Chen looked at the corpse in the coffin, according to his understanding of the theory of yin and yang, yang and yin qi would only spread around, not up and down. Assuming that the corpse is now showing a change of yang energy, then the four walls of the coffin will trap the yang energy in it. If there is no way for the yang energy to leak out, it will gather more and more, which will not only accelerate the decay of the corpse, but also affect the yin and yang around it.

Thinking of this, Yu Chen looked at the soul-slaying sword he had inserted in the front of the coffin, but all swords were evil things, which could not only restrain yin and yang, but also guide the flow of yin and yang. When the second child of the Zhao family grabbed Wu Yu's neck just now, he inserted the sword into the coffin, and the original purpose was to think that there was something powerful in the coffin, and to use the sword of the sword to deter the things in the coffin. Now it seems that it is not the sword that has shocked the old lady, but the sword itself conducts yin and yang, and guides part of the yang energy gathered in the coffin. changed the yin and yang in the spirit shed, so that the second child of the Zhao family let go of his hand.

Yu Chen took a deep breath, walked to the handle of the sword, and pulled the sword out of the coffin with one arm. The sword had just been pulled out by Yu Chen, and several strong men over there also walked in with thick wooden sticks. I saw that the corpse in the coffin plopped and fell back into the coffin on its back, and the incense ash floating around the corpse also fell on the corpse at this moment.

Several strong men were shocked, not knowing what spell the great immortal in front of them had cast, and actually let the corpse lie back in the coffin.

Wu Yu walked quickly to Yu Chen's side and whispered, "Brother, did that woman do anything to the coffin just now?" How do I feel that after the black fluff on this corpse's face is gone, it is a lot more ruddy, it won't be that this corpse will come back to life! ”

Yu Chen was reminded by Wu Yu like this, and hurriedly looked at the face of the corpse. Sure enough, the face that had just faded from the black fluff gradually became rosy at this moment. Yu Chen was startled, and hurriedly ordered the few big men who had just come in: "Hurry up and close the coffin, let's prepare for the burial immediately." Let the old lady's grandson set off now with the soul-attracting chicken in his arms and walk around his house three times. The others hurried to prepare to carry the coffin. ”

Several strong men did not dare to slack off, threw away the thick wooden sticks in their hands, and hurriedly worked together to close the coffin. Old man Zhao also arranged for everyone to get busy, because everyone was more convinced of Yu Chen at this time, and for a while, everyone tried to find something within their power to do. Even some elderly people and children who were still playing tried their best to help the Zhao family get busy, and only Yu Chen and Wu Yu were left in the entire Zhao family compound for a while.

Yu Chen and Wu Yu walked out of the spirit shed, and at this time Xiao Song needed to arrange for the strong men to tie the coffin with ropes and put on the wooden sticks to carry the coffin. Because the coffin itself is very heavy, it must be carried directly into the dug pit when it is carried to the cemetery, so the rope that binds the coffin must be tied with a professional heavy lifting buckle, so that the coffin can be pulled out from under the coffin after the coffin is placed.

Yu Chen handed Wu Yu a cigarette, and the two of them couldn't help at this time, so they had to squat outside the gate and smoke. Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen: "Brother, is this corpse really sitting up because of static electricity?" I remember that this is what the junior high school physics book said, is it reliable? And the corpse had a ruddy face, as if it was about to come back to life. ”

Yu Chen spit out a smoke ring: "It's not very reliable!" If a dead person is thrown into the crematorium, it is okay to sit up after the corpse is burned by the high temperature without being cut by the knife, and the muscles and tendons are burned at high temperature and contracted due to the high temperature. Then a little static electricity can twitch the muscles in the arms at most, and it will not make the whole body sit up. ”

Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen as if he didn't care, and there seemed to be something hidden in his eyes. I'm a little used to his often pretending to be mysterious, but Wu Yu, who is curious about the baby, still wants to know more about the situation just now, and asked with a smile: "Brother, tell me what happened just now, and what to do next." ”

Yu Chen smiled at Wu Yu: "Brother-in-law, I knew you couldn't help but ask me." I suspect that there is something on the old lady, and that it was artificially obtained nine times out of ten. Later, when the funeral procession is arranged, I will find a way to arrange the woman in question near the coffin, and we will secretly see what she does. I can't be sure what is going on yet, but if you follow what I told you before, quickly memorize the mantra of Yin Huo, and you will definitely use it when the time comes. ”

Wu Yu nodded here, quickly threw down the cigarette in his hand, took out the mobile phone, and turned out the yin fire mantra that had been photographed before. Because I've seen the original version before, I still have some impressions, so I'll hurry up and take a few looks at it and memorize the formula.

As soon as the two of them finished smoking a cigarette, Old Man Zhao walked over: "Daxian, everything is ready, the coffin has been loaded into the carriage, shall we leave now?" ”

Yu Chen looked at the sky, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the first time that he had been funeral in the afternoon. What surprised Yu Chen even more was that the Zhao family prepared so quickly, generally even if they arranged what everyone should do in advance, it would take half an hour to an hour to prepare for the burial, but the Zhao family only used a cigarette.

Yu Chen nodded: "Let the old lady's grandson hold the silver soul chicken and hold the spirit flag to open the way in front, and all the old man's immediate family members follow behind the spirit flag." Eight more women in their thirties and above followed around the coffin, two women in one direction. All children under the age of 16 followed the coffin, each of whom had to carry a stack of burnt paper and three burns of lighted incense. The others followed in a row, and the carriage transporting the coffin asked the Baoshan daughter-in-law to catch it, and the others could not get close to the carriage. ”

Saying that, Yu Chen turned his head to look at Wu Yu again: "Brother-in-law, you have to hold the fox fairy, you can also take the carriage that transports the coffin!" Wu Yu looked at Yu Chen's eyes, immediately understood his purpose, nodded and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

Old man Zhao didn't quite understand what Yu Chen meant, but he still nodded and turned around to leave, and went to prepare the team according to Yu Chen's instructions. Yu Chen saw that Old Man Zhao had left, and suddenly smiled: "Brother-in-law, the fox's tail will leak out immediately." ”

Wu Yu didn't understand what Yu Chen meant, but he just followed his gaze, and the daughter-in-law of Baoshan next to the spiritual shed not far away seemed to be looking at this side inadvertently. Wu Yu didn't know if he was wrong, or if he was a little dazzled by the distance, the woman actually showed an unpredictable smile at Wu Yu.
