After saying that, I walked towards the coffin without looking back. How to choose is his business, as for my words, it is the truth, as long as he dares to leave halfway today, and his family needs the Eight Immortals in the future, I will do everything I can to prevent the other Eight Immortals from carrying the coffin.

For me, since I have entered the line of the Eight Immortals, I must respect the rules of the industry, respect the dead, and respect the customs passed down from my ancestors. If even the Eight Immortals themselves don't respect these things, how can those ordinary people respect them? In the end, it will only break the inheritance of the ancestors.

I don't know why, in terms of rules and customs, I'm a little paranoid, and I can even say a little perverted. After all, no one is perfect, everyone has shortcomings, and I am no exception.

That Liu Dafa saw that I was mad, he was stunned for a moment, as if he was thinking about something, and finally walked back towards the town.

Liu Weimin stepped forward and was about to stop him.

I stopped and said in a cold voice: "He left today, violating the most basic professional ethics of our Eight Immortals, and his family will need Eight Immortals in the future, don't blame me Chen Jiu for being ruthless." ”

Liu Weimin smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "You are a tooth for a tooth!" Alas! I hope this method is effective, so that no one in our Eight Immortals will dare to retreat halfway, and the deceased can be buried smoothly. ”

I nodded, didn't say anything, stared at Liu Dafa's back with my eyes, and sneered in my heart, can this coffin be lifted, I know very well in my heart, as long as the sixteen Eight Immortals work together, it can definitely be carried up the mountain.

The reason why he will leave is probably only because the coffin is too heavy, there are many such people among our eight immortals, as long as there is a little problem with the coffin, they will leave immediately, regardless of the deceased and professional ethics, and only have their own interests in their hearts.

At this time, the stammerer came over and asked me, "What now?" Sixteen Eight Immortals are a little difficult to carry the coffin, and now that one Eight Immortals has walked, there will be fewer people in that part, and this coffin may be difficult to carry up the mountain when it reaches Balipu. ”

"There is no endless road, I don't believe that without him, the coffin will stop here." I replied lightly, sent a round of cigarettes to the Eight Immortals, and beckoned them to rest for a while, and then carry the coffin to the car in one go.

After such a fuss just now, the interest of the Eight Immortals was not very high, sitting on the ground and smoking, all thinking about what to do with this coffin.

After seven or eight minutes, everyone stammered a little anxiously, and said: "Brother Jiu, it's almost six o'clock, isn't it good that the coffin has been sitting on the side of the road for a long time, let's get the coffin to the truck first, and then find a way to carry the coffin when we get to Balipu?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and looked at the stammering suspiciously, logically speaking, sending the coffin up the mountain, that is what the main family should be anxious about, what is the excitement of stammering?

He smiled bitterly, raised his hand and pointed not far away, and said: "My house is close to here, my mother will come out to run for a while in the morning in order to exercise, I am afraid that she will come out to run and bump into the coffin, she is not in good health, and bumping into the coffin early in the morning will aggravate her condition." ”

I followed the stammering finger and could vaguely see a dilapidated adobe house with a light on the window, and the owner of the house must have gotten up.

Seeing this, I understood the stammer's concern, nodded, and immediately shouted, letting the Eight Immortals take the handle, ready to carry the coffin to the car.

At this moment, I saw a familiar influence in front of the truck, it was none other than Lao Wang.

I was stunned, wasn't he afraid that carrying the coffin in the first month would bring bad luck?

"Jiu Yanzi, I'm a little late, do you still have a red envelope?" Lao Wang walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand to ask me for a red envelope.

"Oh, I just left a person, and I happened to come out with an empty red envelope." I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and I didn't know what Lao Wang was doing, so I handed him a red envelope.

"Huh!"

Lao Wang sighed lightly, took the red envelope, glanced at us, and asked in surprise: "Nine Guys, what are you doing, there are more than eight immortals here, right?" ”

I nodded, said the weight of the coffin, and then said the eight lifts and eight supports.

After hearing this, Lao Wang looked at me approvingly and said, "Yes, you have come up with this idea." ”

I touched my head embarrassedly, and asked him why he came, and he said: "Da Zhengyue carries the dragon coffin, I and the senior guy are not by your side, don't worry, so come and have a look." ”

When I heard this, I was stunned for a long time, and if I usually said this, I might not care much about it. After all, the older generation is not worried about young people's affairs, and it is normal to come over and take the helm. However, on the day of the New Year, Lao Wang had already said that his eyes were caused by carrying the coffin in the New Year.

And now, he still ran over, with only one sentence, not worrying about me. To say that it is not moving, that is a lie.

Lao Wang saw that I was stunned, and said with a smile: "Don't be stupid, I'm not as great as you imagined, I came here this time, one is to take the helm, and the other is to bring something to the eight immortals who carry the coffin." ”

As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen triangular rulers from his bosom, and counted sixteen rulers.

I took a ruler from his hand and took a closer look, this ruler is made of sandalwood, with a faint fragrance, and the degree is carved on it, about five centimeters, it seems to be a carpenter's tool for measuring angles, Mitsubishi ruler, what are you doing with this thing?

I asked the doubts in my heart.

Lao Wang said: "This is what your father asked me to bring, and he said that this ruler is of great use, and each person wears one to ward off evil spirits." ”

"Ouch! One-eyed dragon, a ruler can ward off evil spirits? Liu Weimin walked over from the side of the coffin, slapped his palm on Lao Wang's shoulder, and said, "One-eyed dragon, when will you learn to brag?" Teach me when you have time. ”

"Get out, Liu Mazi, Lao Tzu doesn't want to talk to the eight immortals who have no conscience!" Lao Wang knocked off Liu Weimin's hand and said angrily: "You just follow Liu Kai's brute to pit people, don't take our Chen Baxian badly." ”

"Lao Wang, Liu Kai is crazy, a lot of things have happened in this funeral, and I can't tell you clearly for the time being. Roughly speaking, the eight immortals present are all bloody men, it is worth believing, the time is a little urgent, you don't care about these for now, hurry up and talk about what is going on with this ruler? I said urgently.

Lao Wang was stunned for a moment, and he didn't give Liu Weimin a good look, it seems that the grievances between the two are very heavy, he said: "I heard your father say that the material of these rulers is the leftovers of the coffin, and the ink fountain is used to bounce the thread, and the cinnabar is used to open the red on it, and the most important thing is that when making these rulers, your father recited the Luban words, and he said that if he can ward off evil spirits, he will definitely be able to ward off evil spirits." ”

Hearing this, I took the ruler and flipped it over, there was a red dot on the inside of the top corner of the ruler, presumably cinnabar, and the scale of the ruler was black, which should have been made by the ink fountain line.

As for the Luban word, I heard Lao Xiucai say it before.
