I thought about it for a while, the most taboo thing for us to be the Eight Immortals is to destroy people's souls, even if Lu Yaodong has a deep hatred with me, we must not destroy his soul, this is professional ethics.

If Lu Yaodong's soul is not destroyed, this funeral will not be able to go on at all, and more importantly, the female beggar and the little girl can be said to have died because of me, if they can't even do their last encounter in the yang world, I will never forgive myself in this life.

In this way, it can only make me a lost person, but if I become a lost person, my life is useless.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said to Qing Xuanzi: "Dao Chief, if I lose my luck, can I let Lu Yaodong's soul return to the underworld?" Will this funeral go on smoothly? ”

He didn't answer my question directly, but said: "It's better for everything to go with the flow, let you become unlucky, this move has the meaning of going against the sky, only 50% hope to succeed, and the other 50% depends on whether the deceased has a grudge against you, once there is a grudge, the funeral is not easy to do!" ”

When I heard this, I was confused, what do I mean by this? Sacrificing nine years of luck in my prime can't get a funeral? That's!

That Qing Xuanzi seemed to see through my thoughts, so he said: "Xiao Jiu, there is a saying in my sect, a person's life is in the nine-star chart, fortune is weak, birth, old age, sickness and death, all of them are evolved according to the nine-star chart, maybe a little change, but, the general numerology will not be much worse, and our move is to use your fortune to peel out your numerology, it is not easy to have a 50% success rate with the Tao of the Tao, if I let my master come, there is about 80% success rate." ”

"What happens if you fail?" I asked.

"Failure, the worst result can also send Lu Yaodong back to the underworld, as for the funeral, I'm afraid it's still a little difficult to do!" Qing Xuanzi thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "Xiao Jiu, choose to destroy the soul!" For the funeral, with Yin Qi and my array, maybe you can do a good funeral. ”

I stopped, "Soul destruction is a taboo, not only me, I'm afraid you will also be punished by God, let's move the stars, I just hope that Lu Yaodong's soul can live in peace in the underworld, and I also hope that the deceased's family of three can finish the last journey of their lives with peace of mind." ”

"Xiao Jiu, you... You're going to be nine years in the future..."Qing Xuanzi said.

I smiled helplessly, interrupted him, and said, "Dao Chief, at the beginning, you persuaded me to choose the second path, why do you persuade me to choose the first path now?" ”

"I persuaded you to choose the second one because I thought that your eight characters were fine, even if you were unlucky, you could be an ordinary person, but I didn't expect... There is something wrong with your eight characters, which leads to extreme prosperity and decline, Ai! Maybe it's fate! ”

The Qing Xuanzi sighed, and didn't persuade me again, so he said: "Since you choose the second path, then suppress the evil qi on your body first, and you can't do the funeral in the case of committing three evils, otherwise it will only make the funeral more difficult!" ”

"How?" I asked him.

"It's easy!" As he spoke, he took out a talisman from his body, I remember when he was in Shaoyang, he used this talisman, it was silver, and the symbols drawn on it were particularly strange.

"Put this on your body!" He handed me the talisman and took out a piece of peach-colored wood from his body, which, according to him, was a high-quality peach wood that could ward off evil spirits.

I took the talisman and the mahogany, and without thinking much about it, I stuffed them in my trouser pocket and asked him what to do next.

He said: "Since I have decided to move the stars against my luck, I need to go home and find a few things to set up the array, by the way, Xiao Jiu, the scope of the array is a bit large, I am afraid that the houses on both sides of this hall house will not be able to be saved, at least the door will be demolished, and there will be a vacant space behind the hall for me to arrange the altar." ”

"Not in front of the hall?" I asked.

"Moving stars and funerals are carried out at the same time, you do the funeral in front of the hall, and I move the stars behind the hall, if it is successful, the funeral will be extremely smooth, and there will be no deviation." As he spoke, Qing Xuanzi wiped off the nine-star diagram on the offering table.

"Hmm!" I nodded and asked him to go back and get his things ready.

After the Qing Xuanzi left, I stood in front of the offering table, the whole person was like a walking corpse, staring at the two coffins, motionless, I suspected this and that, but I didn't expect that the ultimate reason was myself.

After so many funerals, I wanted to do a good funeral, but I never thought that I would kill people because of me, this is really ironic, great irony.

Thinking about it, thinking about it, my legs went limp, I knelt down, and shouted at the two of them, "I'm sorry for you!" I'm the one who hurt you! ”

After shouting this, two lines of tears flowed out uncontrollably, sometimes I feel that I am really useless, crying like a woman when I encounter setbacks, shedding tears, and I don't have the courage and ability to bear it that a man should have.

At this moment, Lao Wang, Gao Lao, Wen Xue, Thin Monkey, Hua Sister-in-law, and a group of Eight Immortals walked in, and Lao Wang pulled me up and said, "Nine Guys, what's wrong?" ”

"I... I—" I said, feeling so uncomfortable that I didn't know how to tell them.

"Chen Baxian, you are a big man, what is there to cry about, stand up like a man, no matter what you do wrong, face it like a man, bear it, you are the pride of our group of eight immortals, you have to make us proud." The tall guy put one hand on my shoulder and said word by word.

"But... Can... But, but I killed them. After saying this, I could no longer suppress the guilt in my heart, and I cried like a child.

When I think of that scene now, I am also very helpless, I was nineteen years old at the time, and I was very sophisticated in the funeral, giving people a feeling of youth and old age. Perhaps, every man's growth process is a kind of heart-piercing pain, and if he doesn't experience those pains, how can he change from a teenager to a man, maybe this is a man, or maybe I am a little more cowardly and emotional than others.

"Jiu Yanzi, why are you crying, now is not the time to feel guilty, but to cheer up, handle this funeral, and let Shen Jun's family of three go with peace of mind." Lao Wang reached out and patted me on the back.

"Yes! Chen Baxian, cheer up! The skinny monkey comforted from the side.

"Husband, I... I... I'm with you! Wen Xue walked over, Lao Wang took a few steps back, gave up the position to Wen Xue, she held my arm, and said softly: "You risk death to beg the woman... No, you risked your life to retrieve the body of Shen Jun's daughter-in-law, which shows that your heart is not bad, and I believe that the two of them will not blame you! ”

Listening to their comforting words, I don't know why, my tears fell more and more, because I carelessly killed two people, this feeling of guilt is really not something ordinary people can bear, that feeling is like taking a knife to cut the heart one by one.

At this time, Lao Wang handed me a cigarette, lit it for me, and said, "When your father was as old as you, he was so stubborn that he didn't cry, and even tears rarely fell." ”

As he spoke, he handed me a piece of paper, on which were written two birthdays, and said: "This is the birthday of the little girl and her mother, you calculate the time for them, it's really not good, we eight immortals work harder, and divide the funeral of her mother, it can be regarded as a supplement!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and looked at Sister-in-law Hua and said, "Do you have any opinions in Horse Walking Village?" ”
