During the day, after Li Changsheng and the three of them rested, they began to hurry at night.

This night, it was a lot calmer, not to mention that there were demons and evil spirits, but not even a mountain ghost was encountered.

I think it was because the movement that happened last night was too big, and for a while, it shook the entire barren mountain, and most of the demons and evil things stayed away.

Without any obstacles, the three of them came to the village in the middle of the night.

When they first entered the village, the night fog was hazy and faint, and the villagers were startled when they saw a large team coming towards the village, thinking that they had encountered zombies moving.

When I took a closer look, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The person in charge of receiving Li Changsheng and others was the village chief of the village.

This village, in the middle of the barren mountains, can be regarded as relatively large, with a total of more than 100 households in the whole village, a total of more than 700 people.

Li Changsheng drove forty-nine corpses back this time, as well as five corpses of Jia Ye, basically the entire village has been more or less related to each other for more than a hundred years, and now that so many people have died, the whole village can be regarded as a mourning.

The village chief was an old man with a peaceful face, and he sighed deeply and said to Li Changsheng and the others: "Thank you three for transporting the corpses back to the village, so that these poor people who died in other places can return to their roots." ”

Linglong regained her original composure and calmness at this time, and said: "Regarding this incident, it is purely a natural disaster, which will lead to such a disaster in the entire Nancheng, our group must have sent someone over to negotiate with the village about the corresponding compensation, right?" ”

The village chief nodded and said, "It has been negotiated, Miss Linglong is only responsible for the transportation of the corpse, and now your responsibility is completed, but ......"

At this point, the village chief paused, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

Li Changsheng said: "The village chief said that it is okay. ”

The village chief took a deep breath and said: "Now that so many people have died, according to the customs of the village, those who die outside can only be cremated, not buried, but before that, a funeral is still needed for the villagers to come and worship...... If the body is brought back by the respective family members and then the funeral is too complicated and troublesome, so our village decided to hold a funeral for all the deceased. ”

What the village chief said has a certain truth, after all, dozens of corpses are claimed by their families, and then their own funerals are held, then it is indeed troublesome, I am afraid that if I go to the house to offer incense and worship, I will not be able to finish shopping at the end of the day.

Li Changsheng nodded and did not speak.

The village chief showed a wry smile and said, "We have already chosen a place to hold a funeral for these corpses, but it's just ...... At present, there is still a lack of a Taoist priest in the village, and matters such as funerals, immortal bridges, and soul summoning still need to be handled by a special Taoist priest...... So...... I would like to ask, can you stay a few more days and help take care of it? ”

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said, "This is easy to say." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted Jia Ye beside him, and then said to the village chief: "Jia Ye is a corpse chaser, and he is also proficient in Dao Gate techniques, these things can be completed in the future." ”

When Jia Ye heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes...... Village chief, don't worry, just leave these things to me. ”

"Okay." The elderly village chief was grateful and saluted the three of them to express his gratitude.

The village chief asked people to arrange a residence for Li Changsheng and the three of them.

That night, the whole village stayed awake all night, crying and wailing.

A disaster that has taken so many lives is indeed unbearable. Li Changsheng looked at these heartbroken people, and his heart moved slightly.

If it weren't for the pyraeugar matter, Nancheng wouldn't have fallen into such a catastrophe.

On the way back to his residence, Li Changsheng's face was solemn, but there was no trace of joy.

Jia Ye and Linglong both noticed it and asked, "Daochang Li, what's wrong?" ”

Li Changsheng shook his head and said: "Now we don't have the whereabouts of the ghost Gu mother-in-law, but I think that the Yin master died tragically in my hands, with the character of the ghost Gu mother-in-law, most of them will not give up, although we sent the body back to the village safely, but I am also afraid that the ghost Gu mother-in-law will be inhumane and scourge the people in the village together, and the time will ...... But that's it. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Linglong and Jia Ye's faces also changed slightly.

The whole village, so many people, I am afraid it is not easy to take care of them all. The ghost Gu mother-in-law is good at the art of ghost Gu, and the Gu is her unique skill, if she wants to harm the villagers in the village, wouldn't it be difficult to prevent it?

"Well...... The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and the current thing is to assist the village chief and handle the funeral, Jia Ye...... This time, it's hard for you. Li Changsheng said to Jia Ye on the side.

Jia Ye smiled slightly, and said: "Where is Daochang Li, if it weren't for you on this road, I'm afraid that the bones of my old bones would have been cold, and now that I have arrived in the village safely, you should also take a good rest, this funeral is all some small rituals, nothing complicated, I'll just get it, when the time comes, you can watch from the sidelines, if there is anything wrong, you can point me out." ”

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and did not speak.

……

The next day, the village was hung with strips of white cloth and piled up.

Dozens of corpses were placed on the makeshift open space that had been prepared, dragged up with red-painted wooden boards, and in front of them, a table of worship was erected, on which was carved an inscription with the names of all the dead this time.

At the entrance of the village, at nine o'clock in the morning, firecrackers will be set off.

According to the custom in the village, if someone dies, a string of firecrackers needs to be set off at 9 o'clock in the morning, and after the firecrackers have passed, the villagers in the village can come to worship.

The whole village gathered early in the morning at the place of worship.

According to the ritual, the worship is carried out by the immediate family first, and according to the generation, the male before the female last.

Among the more than 40 corpses, there are male corpses, female corpses, brothers, sisters, and the immediate relatives are involved in the hundreds of people in the village, and the rest of the villagers are more or less related to each other.

The sound of mourning was endless.

Jia Ye went early in the morning to preside over the relevant worship ceremony, and Linglong, as a representative of the group, naturally had to come to the scene to worship incense.

Only Li Changsheng didn't go, he spent a whole day, in the residence, drawing a large number of charms, in case of emergency.

Along the way, the charms he brought had been used a lot when dealing with mountain ghosts, and Taoist priests couldn't do without charms. Now there is no news of the ghost Gu mother-in-law, and I don't know when the ghost Gu mother-in-law will appear, so I have to prepare early.

The white affairs in the village are used to worship relatives and guests during the day, and at night, it is the turn of the Taoist priest to practice the rituals.

On this day, time seems to fly by.

Night is coming......
