I put down the busy things in my hands, and I was looking for Yang Yan to start before, and I made a bet with him, and now I am looking for his coffin and prevaricating with such an ethereal thing as face.

I walked up to Yang Yan and asked, "Doctor Yang, are you afraid that I will lose the bet?" Still don't want Wang Jie to come back to life? ”

I have the heart to suck him into the Eight Immortals, because in our industry, sometimes the lifting of things is heavier, it is easy to fall, flash waist and the like, there is a doctor by his side, can give us timely rescue, there used to be a Eight Immortals in our village, in a coffin broke his foot, did not rescue in time, now he has become a lame, walking with a limp, if there is Yang Yan, we can avoid this kind of disability.

"The little kid used the agitation method on me, and you are still a little tender!" Yang Yan glanced at me disdainfully, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "However, there is some truth in your words, you will act as a coffin bearer today!" ”

He said this to find himself under the stairs, I smiled and didn't speak, so I asked him to stand with the tall guys, and some matters about carrying the coffin, the tall guys will tell him.

Seeing the newcomer joining, the senior guy was in a particularly good mood, hugged Yang Yan's shoulder, and chirped to tell him what things were needed to carry the coffin.

Seeing all this, I smiled with satisfaction and went into the hall, prepared some bits and pieces, and put them in a sack of yellow paper and handed them to Joyce, so that she could carry them at the funeral.

She said yes, didn't say much, and followed me out of the hall, I glanced at the senior guys, most of the clothes on their bodies are relatively light colors, and there is no taboo about the zodiac of the Eight Immortals in the live burial, but the dress of the Eight Immortals is very particular, it must be black, from head to toe, even if there is a white hair, he has to dye him black.

The reason for doing this is that one is afraid of making a mistake, and the other is to use 'black' to hide God, that is, to secretly bury the living and borrow life from nature.

As for the reason, I can only say that it is custom, some things cannot be explained, the ancestor said this, there must be his reason, if you really want to challenge the custom, it is a joke with life, I only have one life, I can't afford this thing, everything has to be done according to the custom.

I said to the guys, "Change your clothes, all black, not a little white, even if it's nei pants, they should be black." ”

They were silent for a while, and Yang Yan spoke, he said, "Is it okay if the white nei pants don't change their lines?" ”

As soon as he said this, I couldn't help laughing, the senior guys don't have my internal strength, haha laughed, and looked at Yang Yan's eyes changed a little, probably thinking, it's a dog, a big man, he actually wears white nei pants.

"No, it has to be black." I said it seriously, and he smiled awkwardly, nodded slightly, and didn't speak.

Later, I told the master about the black clothes, and he searched through the house to find three sets, and then went to the village to borrow them, because there were only three families in the village, and there were only eight sets of clothes together, and the clothes of the eight immortals were complete, but Joyce and I did not, no way, I could only use ink to dye myself and Joyce's clothes black.

After getting the clothes, there are a few eight immortals with some gray hair, and they are also dyed black with ink, and finally there is a naked face and hands, fortunately, there is a family in Wangzhuang who loves calligraphy, and there is enough ink at home, otherwise, only the bottom of the pot is ashed.

When we dyed our bodies black, although it looked very funny, no one laughed, knowing that this coffin was difficult to carry, otherwise we would not have made so many things.

Live burial is different from ordinary funerals, no firecrackers, no gongs, and no crying and mourning during the funeral, I am afraid that the main family will not be able to cry when they see their daughter buried alive, so I let the main family stay at home and do not go to the mountains.

They nodded, didn't say anything, just gave each of us a red envelope, a pack of cigarettes, and then knelt in front of me, sobbing silently, I understood what they meant, and gave them a comforting look.

Then, we tied the blackened dragon frame to the coffin, the senior guy took Yang Yan to the front, and the remaining eight immortals stood according to their respective positions, they put their shoulders on their shoulders, buckled each other's shoulders, and made piles for each other, their faces were a little heavy.

I threw an inquiring look at the Eight Immortals, meaning are you ready? They nodded, meaning they were ready.

I am more relieved to be a tall guy, they have carried a lot of coffins, but I am really a little worried about Yang Yan, so I looked at him, his arm buckled on the shoulder of the tall guy was a little trembling, it must be the first time, caused by inner tension, I hope that something will not go wrong. The work of carrying the coffin is very simple in the eyes of outsiders, and if you have not carried it, you will never know the doorway here, it not only requires strength, but also psychological quality.

Then she looked at Joyce, who was blackened, and stood with a solemn face carrying a large bag, two wooden stools, and a lighted flashlight, and when she saw me looking over, she nodded with a symbolic smile, indicating that it was all right.

Seeing that they were all ready, I exhaled, whether Wang Jie is dead or alive depends on whether this coffin can be successfully buried, as long as it is successfully buried, there should still be a chance, after all, every day when the sky is just bright is when everything wakes up, its vitality is the most vigorous.

Of course, there is another reason, according to legend, every road every day after the end of the road, there will be a difference to sweep the road surface, that is, to sweep away the footprints of ghosts and living people, so that the road surface becomes 'spotless', commonly known as dust road.

We have to take advantage of the fact that the road is dusty and send the coffin up the mountain, so that the chances of life will be more vigorous, and if someone crosses that road and happens to encounter the coffin before we carry the coffin, the two will collide. Either it will rush to the dead and the living will crush the dead so that the dead will not have peace, or it will be rushed by the dead and the dead will crush the living, so that the living will have physical problems.

I carried the coffin out so early, I was afraid that someone would break that road later, and if something happened then, it was our responsibility.

However, this live burial is regarded as a big murderer, much heavier than the evil spirit of ordinary funeral, unless the other party is a rich and noble person, and there is a noble body on his body, otherwise, the person who encounters the coffin will at least encounter some strange things, and he will die if he doesn't do well.

I cleared my throat and looked into the distance, there was just some light in the sky, not to mention pedestrians on the road, not even poultry and six animals, my heart was relieved, and I stretched my voice and shouted outside the hall: "The deity is the 893rd generation disciple of Taishang Laojun, Chen Jiu is also in Aozi Village, Dongxing Town, according to the edict of the family teacher, send Wang Zhuang Wang Jie to be buried, and wait for the lonely souls and wild ghosts, quickly get out of the way, provoke the anger of the family teacher, and you will only end up scattered." ”

These words are slogans, and the previous words are all made up, which means to calm down the ghosts that have not yet left, and let them get out of the way quickly.
