Although he was sleepy and tired, Fang Rui still went to find Liu Jun, he was communicating with the staff of the crematorium at the moment, the staff of the crematorium seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and the tone of his voice to Liu Jun was a little rushed: "We never do it for us to pick up bones, you either find the family of the deceased to come over or find someone else to replace you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Okay, okay, I'll figure it out again." Liu Jun replied helplessly.

After the staff left, Fang Rui stepped forward and asked, "Teacher Liu, Teacher Li asked me to come over to help you." What just happened? ”

"Oh, it's Mr. Xiaobai! Alas, it's really a disaster, but I didn't expect Mr. Lu to leave like this. Liu Jun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued, "Whoever of us here needs children to pick up and put the ashes in the urn after cremation after death, and if there are no children, they are relatives." But Principal Xu and his grandmother have no children and relatives in this world, so it turned out that Mr. Lu said that he and Principal Xu were also close friends and came to do this. I didn't expect that now that he has passed away, where can anyone come to do this for a while? I wondered if I could let the staff here do it for me, but they didn't want to! ”

"Why not? Isn't it just to put the ashes in the urn? Fang Rui said suspiciously.

"Alas, we all have a rule here, and picking up bones for anyone who is not related by blood will bring bad luck. I thought that working here would not be taboo, but I didn't expect it to be too naïve to think. Never mind.... Liu Jun suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If it really doesn't work, I'll come, so that Principal Xu and his grandmother can't go into the ground?" ”

"You... Aren't you afraid? Fang Rui asked.

"Principal Xu has helped me, and I can't be ungrateful. Besides, I'm a party member, an atheist. Liu Jun replied lightly, but his face was still a little pale, and it seemed that there were still some taboos in his heart.

"I'll help you!" Fang Rui's ghost suddenly opened his mouth to help, and after speaking, he was startled, as if he hadn't thought through his brain at all just now.

Teacher Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect someone to ask for help, his face opened his mouth a little excitedly, but he never spoke, just patted Fang Rui's shoulder heavily.

Next was the cumbersome funeral, although Lu Mingyuan's matter was delayed for some time, most people still insisted on staying and attending the funeral before leaving one after another. In the end, only four or five teachers were left to do the final sweeping work, which also included bone picking.

Fang Rui and Liu Jun each held an urn outside the incinerator, waiting for the staff to finish burning it and let them in to finish the last process. But after waiting for a long time, no one came out. The sky has gradually darkened, and it was originally a crematorium, which would make people feel hairy, but now that the sky is dark, the surrounding trees are tall and dense, swaying in the wind, making a rustling sound, which makes people feel a little creepy. Coupled with the incinerator behind him, Fang Rui felt that the urn he was holding was getting heavier and heavier, and the temperature around him was getting colder and colder.

"Why is it so slow?" Fang Rui cautiously asked Liu Jun beside him.

"It's going to burn two people, and it will take longer." Liu Jun found an excuse to appease Fang Rui, but in his heart, he felt that it had indeed been a long time, even if he had to burn Xu Kai and Zhong Aimei.

After about twenty minutes, the sky was completely dark, the door of the incinerator finally opened, and a staff member ran out of it, looking panicked and even a little frightened, he ran to Fang Rui and Liu Jun and said, "Burn... I can't burn it! ”

"What? What can't be burned? Liu Jun hurriedly asked.

"Old Lady Zhong's body can't be burned!" The staff said with a pale face, "Principal Xu's body burned very smoothly, and when it was Mrs. Zhong's turn, we couldn't burn it!" Every time we thought it was time to finish the burn, we turned on the stove and looked at her... She's sparkling all over her body, but she can't burn it! ”

"This... What to do? Liu Jun was dumbfounded after hearing this, he had never heard of a corpse that could not be burned like this.

"Are you sure the stove is okay?" Fang Rui interjected and asked.

"Of course there is no problem, the furnaces are all cooked by masters with decades of experience." The staff denied Fang Rui's questioning.

"This... What should I do? "Liu Jun has completely messed up.

"Our old master He said, maybe Mrs. Zhong has some wishes, as a family member, why don't you go in and bow down, so that she can go on the road with peace of mind!" The staff said.

"But we're not family!" Liu Jun was about to cry.

"You can pick up the bones, even if you are a family member, you must go, otherwise you can't let the old lady become a corpse in the furnace like this? Maybe.... Yes.... It's going to be a corpse! "The staff was also about to cry, almost pleading.

"Corpses... Zombie? After hearing this, Liu Jun's face was already bloodless, and his feet were soft, if it weren't for Fang Rui's eyes next to him and his quick hand, he would have to sit on the ground.

"Let's go in with you!" Fang Rui didn't know where he got the courage, so he led Liu Jun with one hand and the urn with the other and followed the staff into the incinerator.

There were also three staff members inside, the leader should be the aforementioned Lao He, who had white hair and a serious expression, and the other two took out paper money, incense and candles from the cabinet on the side, it seems that they always have these things.

Lao He glanced at Liu Jun, who was already paralyzed on the ground and trembling, and knew that this person was already frightened and couldn't resist it at all, but Fang Rui on the side was calm and calm although his face was not good. So he said to Fang Rui: "Young man, I've only done this job twice for more than fifty years. Last time, his son had to knock his head nine hundred and eighty-one times in front of the stove before the body was burned to slag. I don't know if I can do this this time, but at least you have to sincerely burn some paper money and incense candles for Mrs. Zhong, I hope she can see it and leave quickly! ”

The first thing Fang Rui saw when he came in was the ghost of Zhong Aimei standing in front of the stove, her exposed skin was either black or red flesh, her face was even more burnt black, there was no good meat, one of her eyeballs was gone, and she was pulled out of her sockets and connected by a black, white and red muscle. The only remaining eyeball stared at Fang Rui after he walked in.

"Can you go out first?" Fang Rui felt that there were some words that could not be heard by others, so he made a request.

Lao He and the others were stunned for a moment after hearing this, but they didn't expect that the thin young man with glasses in front of him was so bold that he wanted to be alone with the corpse. But in the end, they still didn't ask a word before pulling Liu Jun, who was so frightened that he couldn't say a word, left the incineration room.

After everyone went out, Fang Rui stubbornly said to Old Lady Zhong's ghost: "Old Lady Zhong, Lu Mingyuan told me everything about you. I think you should know that Lu Mingyuan is also dead, don't worry, he is dead and I will pick up your bones. Since God has let me know so much, it means that I have a relationship with you. I'll pick up the bones, and please leave as soon as possible! ”

Old Lady Zhong's ghost stood there for a long time before a deep sigh seemed to come from the depths of her soul, and it spoke: "Thank you. I've lived too long, too long, and shouldn't have been. I'm tired of it, why I refuse to leave now, I just want to find an opportunity to tell someone not to follow in my footsteps like Lu Mingyuan's mother. ”

"Who do you want to tell? I can convey that. Fang Rui immediately said.

"I told Wang Xiaohe before that she exchanged other people's lives for the lives of her younger brother Wang Xiaozhan, and it was not only the hard-working child Lu Ming who was in trouble, but also the descendants of the Wang family. But she insisted on going her own way for the sake of her brother, and I just wanted to persuade her before leaving, hoping that she would stop. "I love Mei Dao.

"You mean that Lu Ming's death was because he was given his life to Wang Xiaozhan? But after all, he is dead, and it is Wang Xiaozhan who survives, and the matter is a foregone conclusion. Is there anything else that can be saved? Fang Rui asked.

"At least, we can save the lives of the descendants of their Wang family!" Zhong Aimei continued, "As long as she doesn't agree to do that for that man." ”

"What the hell is that?" Fang Rui asked.

"I don't remember." Zhong Aimei shook her head and said, "I only remember that the man asked me to go with him on the night of the full moon, but I don't remember what happened that night. ”

When Zhong Aimei shook her head, her drooping eyes also shook, which made people look very weird, but at this time, Fang Rui didn't have the heart to be afraid, because Zhong Aimei's ghost began to fade slowly, and it was about to disappear like Lu Mingyuan.

Zhong Aimei's ghost began to tremble, as if she was thinking hard about Fang Rui's question, but unfortunately she had no way to speak anymore, and sporadic fires began to rise all over her body as if they were on fire, and the fire points gradually expanded, and small flames burst out, and the flames burned more and more in a few seconds, and in a blink of an eye, Zhong Aimei's entire soul was burned. I saw her open and closed her mouth in the red flames, but she couldn't make any sound, and gradually her soul shrank until it turned into a black-covered book hanging in the flames.

Fang Rui took a step back, the scorching flames making him feel a wave of heat. Zhong Aimei seems to be different from Lu Mingyuan's disappearance, her life book has begun to be burned in the flames, and it is gradually being burned.

Isn't the Book of Destiny indestructible? Fang Rui wanted to save Zhong Aimei's life book, but the temperature of the flames was too high for Fang Rui to step forward, so he could only watch Zhong Ai Mei's life book be burned by the flames, leaving only some black charred paper scraps falling to the ground.

When the flames disappeared, those black confetti actually put three words on the ground: 'Black Spring Cave'! Could this be the last message that Zhong Aimei's soul left for Fang Rui before it disappeared? In just a second, these three words turned into finer black dust, and then disappeared into the ground。。。。。

The others who couldn't wait in the incineration room broke down the door, only to see Fang Rui bow towards the stove with a regretful expression. After that, at Fang Rui's suggestion, Lao He and the others burned Mrs. Zhong's body again, and this time it burned very smoothly. Lao He looked at Fang Rui with a lot of questions in his eyes, but he was old and refined, and he knew that there were some things that he shouldn't ask too much, so he finally sent Fang Rui out of the incineration room without saying anything.

After leaving the incineration room with Xu Kai and Zhong Aimei's urns, Fang Rui felt that his whole body was about to collapse, and he was tired and hungry, gritting his teeth and forcibly insisting so that he would not faint to the ground. Guilty, Liu Jun sent Fang Rui back to the school dormitory, and when Fang Rui lay on the bed again, he fell asleep in just a second.

In his sleep, Fang Rui saw the mountain under the gloomy sky again, a team of people and horses with no end in sight were winding up, this time Fang Rui saw the braids on the back of the heads of everyone in the team, it seemed... They are all from the Qing Dynasty. It's a pity that when Fang Rui wanted to look more closely, another violent mountain wind hit and blew Fang Rui into the air a few times, falling straight down。。。。。

Yes~~! Fang Rui woke up again in exclamation, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and his whole body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to get up. After lying on the bed for more than half an hour, Fang Rui had the strength to get up from the bed.

The first thing Fang Rui did after getting up was to call Old Man Luo, he had too many questions to ask clearly. Old man Luo on the phone thought for a while after listening to Fang Rui's report and replied: "The paper in Lu Mingyuan's life book should be the missing page of Lu Ming's life book, to be precise, the 'luck' that is missing in Lu Ming's life book. 'Mix' has helped you get the missing pages back, then your task is complete and you can come back. As for Bai Jingjing, you don't have to worry about it, she has another task. By the way, I will explain to you that what you saw was not an octopus that swept away Lu Mingyuan's life book, but the recovery system of Yin Bookstore. All dead life, posthumous life, and posthumous life books will be taken back by this system if they are not tainted. Or according to you human beings, you are brought into the underworld by the face of a cow and a horse in the underworld. Specifically, when you have the opportunity to go to Yin Bookstore in the future, you will naturally understand. As for why Zhong Aimei's book of life was burned, I can only guess that she may have lost the opportunity to reprint the book because she made a deal with that man, and completely disappeared, which is what you humans call the soul is scattered, and there is no chance of reincarnation. ”

"Can the Book of Fortune be reprinted?" Fang Rui asked curiously.

"The meaning of the reprint is actually similar to what you humans call reincarnation, but there is still a big difference, and these are also the affairs of the General Administration of Destiny, and we can't control it." Old man Luo continued, "Come back quickly, there is still a lot of work to be done in the bookstore!" ”

"But what about the man who can help people change their life book? He also took Ma Fan's letter of life, what did he want this for? Fang Rui was a little unwilling.

"You can't control this matter with your current ability, hurry up and come back to me! I'll report it, don't worry about it. Old man Luo persuaded.

"Oh, well!" Fang Rui weighed his ability, and finally chose to follow Old Man Luo's instructions and go back obediently. However, before leaving, Fang Rui wanted to see Wang Xiaohe again, firstly, to fulfill Zhong Aimei's last wish to persuade her to give up, and secondly, to inquire about the strange man who could help people change their fate.
