The road is quite peaceful, except for the spirit guiding lamp that attracts some lonely ghosts from time to time. However, after those lonely souls and wild ghosts saw our two Mr. Yin and Yang, they also took the money to buy the road and left.

We walked for more than ten miles, walked for three or four hours, and finally drove Mr. Ma back to the funeral home before dawn.

Under Xiao Wu's advance notice, Ma Yun's family was already waiting at the door of the funeral home, and they were both surprised and surprised to see us come back with Old Man Ma, because at this time, Old Man Ma had a yellow charm on the door of his head, straight and straight, and under Tang Zhaofu's order, he jumped forward one by one. At this scene, I am afraid that everyone present was deeply shocked.

The Ma family kept shouting at the old man, trying to know if the old man was still alive, but no matter how they shouted, the old man was straight and motionless.

Tang Zhaofu said: "Don't shout, the old man is already dead, how can he respond to you?" ”

Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, and asked, "But this ...... This ......"

Lao Tang knew what they were thinking, so he smiled and said, "Do you know the kung fu of chasing corpses?" ”

"Huh? It turns out that Mr. Tang can drive out corpses! Ma Yun was stunned for a moment, and then kept shouting masters, masters.

Lao Tang's kung fu really has to be admired, I saw it with my own eyes along the way, a corpse listened to his orders, and rushed back all the way. In today's era, he can be described as a real master.

Lao Tang also told me that before the liberation, there were many gentlemen who drove corpses, especially in Xiangxi. However, in this industry, like Mr. Yin and Yang, there are mixed fish and dragons, and not all Mr. Corpse Chasers have real skills.

It turns out that there are also many liars in the business of chasing corpses, and their so-called chasing corpses is actually not really driving corpses, but "carrying corpses". These so-called "corpse chasers" would divide the corpses into five horses and then spray special potions on the stumps to prevent the stumps from decomposing. A man with a stump on his back, wrapped in a long and large black robe, and a large straw hat on his head, covered his entire head, and even the outline of his face was difficult for people to see. Another person disguised himself as a "corpse chaser" threw yellow paper and rattled a bell in front of him to show the way for the corpse bearer. The two also deliberately created an atmosphere of terror so that people did not dare to approach them. If the road is far away, the roles of the two will change day by day.

Two or three days before arriving at the destination, notify the family of the deceased in advance, prepare the coffin of the shroud, and as soon as the "deceased" arrives, immediately put together the stumps of the corpse, put the shroud and hat for the deceased to be dressed neatly, and put it into the coffin. This kind of burial process is all the responsibility of the "corpse chaser", and no one is allowed to interfere and watch. If others want to see it, he will say that as soon as the living person approaches the corpse, there will be a danger of "shocking the corpse", and the burial process is also selected in the middle of the night, when the deceased is properly decorated, let the owner claim it.

At this time, as soon as the lid of the coffin was opened, the eyebrows appeared, and it was indeed a bereaved relative, and his appearance was like yesterday. Thinking of his relatives now sleeping in the coffin, he is naturally sad and miserable, and sorrow comes from it. At this time, the corpse chaser will persuade everyone not to grieve too much, which will make the deceased uneasy, just after a long journey, the deceased is in urgent need of rest, do not disturb. People feel a sense of relief after seeing the deceased, and who would suspect that it was a hoax?

It can only be said that every industry is full of cheaters, but Lao Tang is naturally a real corpse chaser, because Old Man Ma did not carry it back after he split the corpse. Because of this, I couldn't help but look at him a few times this time.

After the Ma family learned that Master Ma was indeed dead, they immediately cried loudly, crying silently, crying heartbreakingly.

We comforted the Ma family a little, and then drove the old man into the funeral home. At this time, the Ma family had already prepared the coffin, we invited the old man Ma into the coffin, tore the yellow talisman, and then ordered the Ma family to burn the yellow paper to sacrifice the yin spirit.

After doing all this, it was already dawn. After Ma Yun remembered his relatives in front of the coffin, he came to thank us, and after seeing the skills of the two of us, he is now a master shouting. Of course, Xiao Nan was also among them at this time, still staring at me with a pair of resentful eyes, but she didn't dare to expose it again, it is estimated that she herself knew that if she still said that we were liars at this time, Boss Ma would definitely let her get out.

I also understand why Xiao Nan resents me, because now that we have Ma Yun's trust, the more we slap her in the face.

I don't care about that, though. I said to Ma Yun: "Mr. Ma, the old man can't stay for a long time because he cheated the corpse before, so let's be cremated as soon as possible!" ”

Lao Tang also nodded and said, "Yes, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid there will be trouble for no reason." ”

But when Ma Yun heard this, he suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and he said: "Two gentlemen, my father has just been dead for three or four days, how can he be cremated." No, no, I need to park my father for seven days, and I can only cremate him after the first seven are reinstated. ”

Leaving the body for seven days before cremation or burial is our local custom, and it is understandable that Jack Ma would have this idea. However, the corpse of the old man Ma is different from the ordinary dead, and he said it when Lao Tang drove the corpse before, the old man Ma is very wrong, and he will definitely not stay for a long time.

At that moment, I persuaded Ma Yun: "Mr. Ma, we naturally understand your filial piety, but if the old man stays for a long time, there will definitely change, and then the horror will be a big deal." ”

Who knows, Ma Yun said: "The two gentlemen are capable, it shouldn't be okay with you here, right?" ”

Lao Tang and I were stunned for a moment, does this mean that we still want us to guard his spirit? You know, we promised to help him do things, but we just helped him invite the old man back.

Ma Yun saw that we didn't speak, so he said: "My father repeatedly told us before his death, we must wait until the first seven, he wants to come back to see us, my father's last wish in this life, how can I not obey it." So the two gentlemen must help me, of course, my Ma family will never treat Mr. badly, I am willing to add another 50,000 yuan, bother the two gentlemen to help take care of my father. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lao Tang's eyes lit up, obviously hearing that there were 50,000 yuan. Then he made a look of embarrassment and said, "Alas, we are also thinking about you, not about money. However, since Boss Ma has made up his mind, for the sake of your filial piety, the two of us will be good people to the end, and send the Buddha to the west! ”

After speaking, he looked at me and asked, "Brother Chen, what do you say?" ”

I rolled my eyes and despised him in my heart. I think you love money too much, right? It was you who said that the old man was wrong!

However, now that the old soup has said so, how can I say no? At that moment, I had no choice but to nod and agree. said to Ma Yun: "As the so-called good people do it to the end, send the Buddha to the west, in this case, let's help you take care of it again." ”

Seeing that we agreed to help, Ma Yun was overjoyed and was very moved when he held our hands. At the same time, he also put forward a wish, that is, he wanted to take Old Man Ma home to buy a mourning hall. We didn't object to this request, after all, it's the same everywhere, so that morning, Ma Yun sent a car to take the old man back to the Ma family's villa.

On this day, Lao Tang and I set up a mourning hall in the Ma family's villa, and the mourning shed was not built casually, which was very particular. For example, the direction and the size or something, all pay attention to it, otherwise it is easy to clash with the dead.

After setting up the mourning shed, it was already afternoon, and people came to pay respects one after another. The living room is full of wreaths of white flowers on both sides, and there are colorful boys and girls on both sides of the mourning hall.

The first two days were too peaceful, Lao Tang and I were on duty day and night, except for a few times during the long light that went out for no reason, there were no other forks, everything was like the usual vigil.

On the third day, that is, the seventh day after the death of Old Man Ma, Lao Tang was in charge of guarding Ma's house during the day, and I was preparing magic objects in his fortune-telling parlor, because this night was the night of Old Man Ma's resurrection, and whether there would be any changes was tonight, so I drew a lot of spiritual runes in the fortune-telling hall during the day in case of emergency.

When dusk came, I carried my bag to Ma's house. When I was eating, I didn't know why Xiao Nan had to trouble me, and halfway through the meal, she suddenly asked us lukewarmly: "Chen Ergou, didn't you say that the old man would change, why it's been three days, and there is nothing at all?" ”

If someone else asks me, there is nothing wrong with it, but when it comes out of Xiao Nan's mouth, I feel that it is not so ordinary.

I said, "It's better if it's okay." ”

Ma Yun also nodded again and again: "What Mr. said is that it's best to be fine." ”

Sure enough, the reason why Xiao Nan asked this was not so simple, I saw her smile coldly and said, "You didn't deliberately scare us before, right?" ”

I was stunned at the time, it was obvious that we were lying to them, deliberately defrauding them of money. At this time, Lao Tang was not happy, he said: "Do you have to let the old man cheat the corpse?" ”

Ma Yun smiled at the moment, saying that Taiping is the best, Taiping is the best, and at the same time said to Xiao Nan unhappily: "The two gentlemen have advanced spells, their worries must be justified, don't intervene if you don't understand." ”

I glanced at Xiao Nan and shook my head with a wry smile. Xiao Nan happened to sit next to me, his heart was deflated, and he was angry, although he didn't dare to say anything more, he still leaned close to my ear and said: "Chen Ergou, don't try to deceive me in your tricks, the more you try your best to pester me, the more I hate you." ”<
