Chapter 17: Helping the funeral procession

"I can have such an ending today, because of your eyes, I was not a yangcha, but because the previous yangcha died, these eyes could not follow him into the earth, but because I didn't find the next yangcha, the underworld found me who should have been blind." Eyeless said to me.

"And then?" I asked, incredulously.

"Yang Cha eyes need someone to take care of them, otherwise they will be useless, so for so many years, I have been helping you raise these eyes that belong to you, and I have embarked on this road of living corpses." He said with a sigh.

Listening to his words, I became even more curious, so I asked, "Then since it was given to you, why didn't I choose you as a yang cha?" ”

Later, he told me that Yangcha is not something that can be done if you want to, it takes a lot of factors, at that time, he just didn't find the right person, so he was forced to helplessly let him be a blind man, but he didn't like those eyes, and even he would rather be blind, because with those eyes, he had no friends, and even his relatives left him, and then because he was pitiful, he let a Taoist take him in, so he grew up in the Taoist temple, and he had the title of Eyeless Taoist.

And the earth fairy also knew his background and felt that it was not easy for him, so he slowly became friends with him.

"And how did you become a living corpse?" I asked again.

"I've raised these eyes for so many years, and the underworld always wants to give me some benefits, so I said that I would compensate for it with yang longevity, and I didn't understand it at the time, so I said, live forever, but they took away my soul, and then injected ghost qi into my body, so that my body will always maintain the characteristics of life, and in this way I became a living corpse."

"So that's the case, it's really hard for you!" Although he can't empathize, he is indeed not easy.

But when I finished, he said to me, "You can see the judge, right?" Then the next time you see him, help me talk to him. ”

"Okay, what do you say?" I asked.

"Give me back the soul and let me die a natural death." He said expressionlessly.

I was surprised and asked, "Why?" Is it bad to be alive? ”

"If you've lived enough, it's better to go down and reincarnate again, and then forget about this life, so when you see him, please tell him."

"Do you really want to say it?" Again, I'm sure.

"Well, thank you!" With that, he left, and I woke up again.

But thinking about what Eyeless told me just now, I still feel quite sentimental, because I have heard that he is not happy, and he himself does not want to continue to live, so I feel that with these eyes, will I be the same?

I shook my head, picked up the handbook and continued to read, because I didn't want to think about it so much, so I wanted to use the book to distract me.

In fact, I soon figured it out, no matter whether I have a hard time in the future, whether I live happily or not, I have to live, because this is the lifelong wish of my parents, and they gave me their lives in exchange, so I have to live, and besides, the Immortal Jue is still in the hands of Dong Wutian, not for myself and for my descendants, I also have to live to take it back.

After thinking about it, I was ready to go to bed, although I still had insomnia, tossing and turning for a long time before gradually falling asleep, but I finally slept for a while.

But just when it was dawning, before I got up, I heard the sound of a funeral in the distance, blowing gongs and beating drums, and I didn't know whose family had died and was ready to be buried.

I didn't think about it that much, because there are dead people every day, and as long as I don't need to show up, it has nothing to do with me.

But just as I was thinking about it, Tan Xiao appeared.

Suddenly I felt that nothing good would happen to her as soon as she appeared, and I looked at her, "Is there another mission?" ”

"yes, you should have heard that, right? Someone is at a funeral. Tan Xiao said to me.

I nodded, then looked at her, "What, I'm going to someone else's funeral too?" ”

"No, it's that the old man doesn't want to go, he has to see his grandson get married, and now he is blocking him halfway through, not allowing him to be buried, and the coffin bearer is now in a dilemma, and the time to see it is to be buried at six o'clock in the morning, it's half past five, and it's still on the way, so let you deal with it below." Tan Xiao said to me.

After listening to her, I sat up from the bed, then put on my clothes and shoes to wash up, and hurriedly rushed over with Tan Xiao and Xiao Fang Xiaoyuan.

But as soon as I went, I saw that there was a Taoist priest, so I asked Tan Xiao, "Isn't there a Taoist chief dealing with it?" ”

"He couldn't handle it, so he begged the following to find a way to help take it away." Tan Xiao replied.

"Okay!" So I walked over, and then I saw an old woman standing in front of the funeral procession, and I didn't talk to her first, but asked the chief, "What's going on?" ”

Seeing that I was a very young man, the Taoist chief was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and pinched his fingers, and soon said to me respectfully: "It turns out that you are Mr. Yangcha!" ”

I nodded, "What's going on?" ”

"It seems that the old man is unwilling to go, we can't walk when we get here, like a ghost hitting a wall, it's almost time to bury, I can't help it, persuade and persuade." The Taoist said to me.

I took a look at the funeral procession, the eldest son led the way with a spirit flag and incense candles, followed by a close relative holding the portrait, scattering paper money, eight people in the middle carrying the coffin, and many relatives and friends followed, and firecrackers were also set off.

The scene is still quite big, so I went directly to the ghost of the old lady who died in front of me, "Let's go on the road, your children are good to you, such a big scene, there are few in the countryside, that year, an old man in his nineties died, or happy and mourning, people are only six people carrying the coffin, and you get eight people, you are not satisfied?" ”

"I just don't want to leave, I want to see my grandson get married, he's twenty-six." The old woman said reluctantly.

"This is not something you should worry about now, he will take his granddaughter-in-law to see you if he becomes a family, you have to leave now, don't miss the time, otherwise your family will go downhill because of you in the future." I told her directly.

She looked at me after hearing this, "Are you yangcha?" Then you go and tell my grandson, let him get married as soon as possible, and remember to take my granddaughter-in-law to my grave to see me in the future. ”

"Okay, I'll go tell him!" With that, I walked over to his son.

"You are the son of an old woman, may I ask who her grandson is?" I went over and asked.

"I am!" A chubby-looking boy replied to me.

Then I told him, "Your mother-in-law can't rest assured of you, she wants to see you get married, but now she can't see it, so you have to promise her to start a family quickly, and then take her granddaughter-in-law to see her at her grave." ”

Hearing my words, the old woman's grandson suddenly burst into tears, and then asked me, "Where is my mother-in-law?" ”

"Right ahead." I looked at the old woman in front of me and said.

Then her eldest grandson shouted at her, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will be obedient and hurry up to marry you a granddaughter-in-law, and then bring her to see you!" ”

"Do you hear me, get on your way, the hour is coming." I stood on the side and shouted to the old woman.

She smiled and nodded, bowed to me, and watched as her children and grandchildren slowly vanished.

It seems that she should be gone, but I was worried that she would come back, so I asked Tan Xiao to follow, and Xiao Fang Xiaoyuan and I followed the funeral procession to send the old woman to the burial place, and then there was no accident, and I was ready to leave.

But when the chief saw that I was leaving, he came to me and said, "Mr. Yangcha, if you want to be okay, stay a little longer, you have helped so much, and the master wants to express it." ”

I glanced at the old woman's family, and I didn't seem to mean it, so I smiled faintly, "No need, seeing that they are very busy, they may not be able to greet them, so I will leave first." ”

After hearing this, the Taoist chief glanced at the family a little helplessly, "You wait a minute, I'll come when I go!" With that, he ran over.

Seeing what he said to the master's family over there, soon the eldest son of the family came over, took out a cigarette and handed it to me politely and said: "I'm sorry, little brother, we don't understand this, I was afraid of missing the time when I checked the burial over there just now, so I didn't have time to take care of you, and I will go to our house for dinner later." ”

"No, I'm going to go to the city later, so I won't bother, and I don't smoke." I declined his kindness.

"What can we do, you did us such a great favor, and just left, how embarrassed are we."

"It's okay, I should do it!" I finished and prepared to leave again.

Then the chief came over and grabbed me again, "Mr. Yocha, why don't you leave a contact information, I want to ask you more in the future." ”

"I can't ask for advice, maybe I still need to ask you for advice!" I said and took out my phone and left him my number.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, but what's your last name?" He asked me as he held his phone and prepared to save his name.

"The surname is Zhang, Zhang Xiaobei!" I replied.

"Okay, my name is Yuan Youcai, and I will contact you more in the future." The Taoist said to me very politely.

Seeing him so polite, I didn't know what to do, so I smiled faintly and prepared to leave.

As a result, at this time, the family chased after me again and stuffed money into my hand, "Little brother, I'm really sorry, don't worry about it, since you have something to do later, then I won't keep you, this little meaning, you take it and buy some food on the road." ”

"No, uncle, I ......"

"This is the owner's heart, you can take it!" That Yuan Daochang said for the uncle.

And seeing that he also insisted on giving it to me, I had no choice but to take it, and indeed I didn't want anyone's money.

"Okay, uncle, you go get busy, I have to leave too." I took the money he gave me and said.

"Okay, then you go slowly, I won't send you!"

"Hmm!" As I spoke, I turned around, but Daoist Yuan followed me again, "Mr. Yangcha, have you found a way back?" There's no turning back! ”

Seeing him come and go again and again, I smiled helplessly, "Daochang Yuan, it's okay, if there is a ghost following me, I can see at a glance, you go and get busy, don't worry about me." ”
