Chapter 016: The Funeral Butler
"Time flies so fast, more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Mo Bai has grown so big?" Zhang Chaonan looked Mo Bai up and down, full of relief.
"Who said it wasn't, Zhang Yang is not so old, the two are the same age, when you said that you picked up a grandson, I said that I took in an apprentice, and the difference between the two is a month." Li Wangbei also smiled happily: "At this moment, both of them have grown into big children, can we not be old?" ”
"Hmm." Zhang Chaonan asked, "How are the senior brother and the second senior brother?" ”
"Okay, everything is fine." Li Wangbei's face is getting better and better, at least he has blood, Zhang Yang opened his mouth, this serum seems to be really useful, but one thousand eight is also a bit expensive, isn't this Chang Gung Hospital just starting to open? Just ripping off customers? You won't let people contract, right?
I only heard Li Wangbei continue: "As soon as we received your letter, we rushed here immediately, because my two elder brothers are old and don't want them to come down, so I came with Mo Bai, I think the two of us, plus you, should be able to deal with this matter." ”
"Hey, I didn't expect this to happen." Zhang Chaonan said: "If you come to me last night, let's discuss it and go on together, it should be fine." ”
"It's okay, I see that after an injection, it seems to have some effect." Li Wangbei moved his body up, and Mo Bai hurriedly added a pillow to cushion his back.
"Senior brother, what's going on with that thing in there?" Zhang Chaonan asked mysteriously.
"Not sure." Li Wangbei shook his head and said: "But for so many years, I have been using the three talents to leave the fire array day and night, but I am afraid that he has already died." ”
Zhang Chaonan paused for a while and asked, "Where is that cylinder now?" ”
"Just behind the land temple, I think it should be dead, when Mo Bai and I pulled out the water tank with a net, it was light, and the most important thing was that the liquid in it was gone." Li Wangbei said: "Wait for me to do this, let's go and have a look immediately." ”
"Okay." Zhang Chaonan nodded.
When Zhang Yang heard it, what three people left the fire array, what a big water tank, and looking at their cautious appearance, it seemed that there was something really going on.
Before thinking about it again, Zhang Chaonan had already learned that everyone was sick because of the fire, and those bamboos also bloomed and died because of the fire in the earth's qi, obviously he knew that this earth's qi came out of this porcelain kiln.
And according to their conversation, it can be judged that the so-called Sancai Lihuo Array is used to scorch this water tank, and there seems to be something terrible in the water tank.
So what's in this tank?
At this time, the doctor and nurse came.
The doctor walked up to Li Wangbei's bedside and asked, "How do you feel now?" ”
"I feel much better, I couldn't breathe just now, but now it's smooth, and the wound on my hand is slowly disappearing." Li Wangbei slowly raised the hand he had been bitten by the snake.
The doctor nodded, took the hearing device and listened to Li Wangbei's chest a few times, nodded, and said: "The serum has worked, but the specific remains to be seen, I will prescribe some medicine later, put down a drip, and wait to see the situation tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Several people nodded their heads one after another.
The nurse took her blood pressure and gave her a drip.
Zhang Yang saw that Mo Bai was bored alone, and muttered, "Mo Bai, let's go outside for a cigarette." ”
"I don't smoke." Mo Bai's face is upright, giving people the feeling of a good student.
"It's okay, just learn it." Zhang Yang didn't intend to teach him, but wanted to learn a little about the situation from Mo Bai, and then urged: "Let's go, by the way, I'll take you to eat, see that you should be hungry, let my grandfather have a good chat with your master." ”
"Hmm." Mo Bai nodded.
After saying a word to the two old men, he walked out with Mobai and found a noodle batter shop, which is still quite popular in southern Fujian.
One person ordered a bowl of noodle batter, which added several things, vinegared meat, pork liver, small squid, and fried eggs, and then one person sandwiched a fritter and ate it.
"You eat meat too, don't you?" Zhang Yang watched Mo Bai feast.
"Well, if you don't eat it, monks don't eat meat." Mo Bai didn't talk much, and continued to eat after answering.
Zhang Yang saw that his words were like gold, and he didn't dare to talk more, and then asked: "Mo Bai, what was my grandfather and your master talking about just now, and what was the water tank you pulled out?" ”
When Mo Bai heard this, he looked up at Zhang Yang, hesitated, and even glanced at Zhang Yang, looking at his eyes, Zhang Yang knew that he must know something, but he was weighing whether he could say it or not.
"I'm going... Treat me like an outsider, huh? Zhang Yang opened his mouth, and his heart was like a cat scratching.
"That's right, you are the grandson of the third master, not an outsider." Mo Bai thought for a while, lowered his voice and said: "Actually, it is an evil spirit, that big water tank is similar to your urn gold in southern Fujian, that is, it contains the bones of the dead, that is, after the person dies, he is buried in the coffin first, and after the complete decay, the bones are picked up and put into the water tank in turn, which is called a bone burial or a second burial." ”
Zhang Yang mentioned the spirit, he naturally knew this thing, but it was all the practice before cremation was implemented, and now that cremation is popularized, this thing will naturally no longer be practiced.
"Why is this urn of gold scorched with three cai from the fire array?" Zhang Yang asked again.
"I just heard my master mention it a little, that is, this is not an ordinary urn gold, I heard that it was a former funeral housekeeper."
"What's that? Funeral butler? Zhang Yang was stunned and had never heard of it.
"In the past, the ancients, some dignitaries, especially those with heads and faces, when they were alive, there were a large group of housekeepers and servants in the house, so when they died, they also thought that there were people to serve, so they would spend money to buy people to be buried, this funeral housekeeper is one of them, people died alive, embalmed with mercury, and buried in the master's tomb with the master, but maybe the housekeeper was not voluntary, so he was very resentful, and he became a demon after death." Mo Bai explained: "As a demon and a victim, when I met my master and your grandfather, the two of them took him in, and then found this porcelain kiln, set up a fire, and burned him day and night with fire, the purpose was to destroy him." ”
Zhang Yang was surprised and nodded again and again.
He remembered that for a year or six, there was indeed a tomb robbery web drama that made such a pair of martyred boys and girls, but because it was too realistic, it was not allowed to be broadcast......
"Then a few days ago, my master and two uncles received a letter from your grandfather, saying that this mountain bag is going to be bulldozed, this thing doesn't know if it's dead or not, he was afraid that one person can't do it, so I asked my master to come down to help, and then I encountered this incident, my master was bitten by a snake, and you know everything in the future."
