The trip to the Huainan Demon Tomb can really be described as "I don't hate the Nine Dead Southern Wilderness, and I don't hate it, and I have a unique life." "It's been bloody and unpredictable along the way, and it's a great blessing that I can come back alive.

In the past few days since I came back, I have dreamed of Xi Chen countless times in my dreams, and her voice and smile have been deeply engraved in my mind unconsciously.

What worries me the most is Ah Zi, when Xi Chen pushed me under the cliff, I don't know what happened to Ah Zi on it, was she killed by Xi Chen? Or did he escape?

I can't help all this, at the same time, the whereabouts of the fat man and Liu Fangliang are also unknown, my current life is peaceful on the surface, but in fact, I spend every day in guilt and regret.

Life is still going on, and when I return to my hometown Liujia Village, I can only inherit the mantle of my old man, pick up the craftsmanship of the village Taoist priest, and use it to make a living.

One day, two months later, a middle-aged man came to my house.

I know this person, is a coffin bearer, I call him Lao Zhang, he and my grandfather have worked together for many years, very deep friendship, now I inherited my grandfather's mantle, Zhang Luo up the craft of the village native Taoist, he saw a person lonely, there is a heart to help one or two.

No, someone died in Hongshan Village next door, and he immediately introduced me to this business of surpassing the dead.

"Uncle Zhang, what kind of wind blew you here?" Seeing Lao Zhang push open the courtyard door and walk in, I hurriedly stepped forward and said hello politely.

"Liu Yanzi, there is a life." Hearing this, I didn't know whether to be happy or depressed, so I replied lightly: "Is it a horizontal death or an old death?" ”

This is the rule of the village native Taoist priests, no matter who does things, we must first know how the deceased died, most of the horizontal death refers to the car accident, or was killed and murdered, hanged suicide and other early deaths, the old death refers to the age of sixty years, natural old age and death of the elderly.

There is a price for those who die horizontally, and there is a price for those who die old, and the price is not the same.

I used to follow the old man to do funerals, but I knew the rules of this industry clearly, and I was not stunned.

Lao Zhang handed me a cigarette of two pieces of five, lit the fire, and smoked one himself, and then said slowly: "Old and dead, seventy-six years old this year, the main family wants to find a Taoist priest with real skills to do things, your grandfather Liu Dadao's ability, I know, since you inherited your grandfather's craftsmanship and started this business again, I also believe you." ”

Since I came back from Bagong Mountain, I have no financial resources for two months, because I have just become a village Taoist, so no one believes that I am a little doll at a young age, and it is not easy for me to come to a business now, so I made up my mind to go to Hongshan Village with Lao Zhang.

On the way, Lao Zhang told me that the deceased's name was Fan Xiaohua, and he had been ill for several years, but he didn't pick it up in one breath last night, so he drove west.

As we walked, we said that when we came to Hongshan Village, before we entered the village, we were stopped by several old women under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, and they scolded: "Zhang Bald, you dead old ghost, you came to our village to harm the widow of which family, and you are not afraid of being poked in the back......

This old Zhang is not good-looking, and he is a bald head, so he is nicknamed Zhang Bald, this group of old women at the entrance of the village are naturally not interested in me such a small doll, and they have some opinions on this old Zhang.

Obviously, Lao Zhang's usual life style is a little inappropriate, and the contradictions within the people are naturally solved by the people themselves, and I can't control it, and I was about to stand by, but I didn't expect that this Lao Zhang actually yin me, he said: "I am now following Liu Daring's grandson, he is my eldest brother, if you tell him anything, it is useless to hum and chirp with me." ”

After saying that, this shameless bald man also specially stretched out his hand and pointed at me.

If it weren't for the fact that he introduced me to business, I would have been glad to give him two slaps in the face right now.

"That! A few big sisters, if you have something to say, don't be so impulsive! I hurriedly smiled politely at the old women, as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person, I have no grievances with these people, there is no need to get into trouble.

"You little boy, you don't go out to work at a young age, stay in the village, and start a dead man's business, you are not afraid that you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and you are not afraid that after your Liu family is extinct, are you worthy of your parents? Your parents gave birth to you to do the business of the dead? An older shrew scolded.

I don't usually care about this group of shrews, but this group of kraft candy sticks to me and even scolds my parents, so I have to find a way back.

I immediately glanced at Lao Zhang on the side, asked him to step aside, and immediately took out the copper bell from his arms, held it in his hand and shook it: "You guys are asking for it, if you dare to mess around, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

When I took out the corpse bell, those women probably knew the prestige of my grandfather's corpse bell, first startled and then involuntarily took a few steps back, and then later saw the corpse bell in my hand as if they had seen a ghost, and exclaimed: "It's Liu Daring's bell, that thing can control the dead corpse, and the evil door is very evil!" Let's run! ”

After saying that, they scattered in a swarm.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. My old man has been a rural Taoist priest near Bagong Mountain for forty or fifty years, and he has made a great reputation with his hands to pick up the corpse bell, and even some children in the family cry in the middle of the night, and when Liu Daring's name scares him, he immediately dare not cry.

I suddenly showed the corpse bell left by my old man, this group of old women knows that it is powerful, unless they are tired of life, they will fight with me.

Seeing this group of old women leave, I shrugged helplessly.

Lao Zhang on the side said: "Zhang Yanzi, I didn't expect you to really inherit your old man's ability, your old man even passed this copper bell to you, it seems that you can't be wrong to follow you in the future." How can these old women be your opponents? ”

"Uncle Zhang, you are exalting me too much, I just joined this industry, and I will have to rely on you to take care of me in the future......" We talked and laughed along the way, and walked towards the village.

It may be that he had just established his authority at the head of the village and frightened the group of old women, so after entering the village, he was not subjected to more trouble, and he came to the deceased's house smoothly.

We were greeted by a forty-year-old middle-aged man, with a watermelon face, a flat head, a chubby man, dressed in linen and filial piety, and when he saw the two of us, especially when I was wearing the black and white yin and yang Taoist robes of the corpse chasing faction, he was a little excited, and said: "Dao Chief, Lao Zhang, you must help me handle the funeral of my mother at home." ”

"That's for sure." I learned from the tone of the old man and pretended to respond deeply.

The middle-aged man invited us into the house and made us a pot of tea.
