Chapter 151: The Wake of the Spirit
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a red lantern really came down from the distance halfway up the mountain.
That's right, it's a red lantern, ricketing, flickering, slowly moving from far to near.
But when he got closer, Bai Chang found that it was a person dressed in black, with a red lantern, slowly walking over, and behind this person, a small black sedan chair was swaying.
If you look closely, it turns out that there are four sedan chair drivers who are also dressed in black, carrying the small sedan chair lightly, and moving forward quickly without touching the ground, which seems to be very slow, but they soon came to the front.
Bai Chang was secretly surprised, and then, the person with the lantern came to Bai Chang and bowed.
"Mr. Bai, please get on the sedan chair."
Five ghosts and evil gods, this is actually He Yuchen's five ghost gods!
This spell, Bai Chang still knows, is called the Five Ghosts Lifting the Sedan Chair, which is a relatively advanced technique in the Daomen.
Of course, the sedan chair is actually made of paper, but when a person sits in it, it will never fall down, and it is stable and fast.
Bai Chang has grown so big, and he has only heard of the five ghosts carrying a sedan chair, but he has never really seen it.
So, he walked over, and a sedan chair man next to him opened the sedan curtain, and Bai Chang looked inside, only to find that the sedan chair had no bottom.
There was only a faint black mist, floating there.
Bai Chang scratched his head and sat in.
Something strange happened, as soon as he sat inside, he felt the mist lift his feet, and his whole body seemed to float lightly.
"Whoever is that, you can come and sit down too."
Bai Chang thought it was funny, and stretched out his hand to greet the female ghost just now.
The female ghost was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "This is not good, the master casts a spell, and he is here to pick up Mr. Bai, I dare not sit." ”
Bai Chang said again: "Let you sit and sit, where is the ability to scare my driver just now?" ”
"No, no, no, the little girl would never dare."
"Don't dare, forget it, it just so happens that I'm hungry, you come up and give me that bag of food."
The female ghost trembled and handed it in, Bai Chang grabbed a loaf of bread, tore open the bag and chewed it.
The sedan chair under him floated up again, one of the five ghosts with a lantern, and a female ghost, two led the way in front of the sedan chair, and the four ghosts lifted the sedan chair and began to move forward quickly.
Bai Chang sat in the sedan chair, and for the first time felt the treatment of the local tyrant landlord, while eating snacks deliciously, he rummaged through the bag, and muttered: "Your sister, I bought so many things, I didn't even have a drink, bad review!" ”
The sedan chair was really fast and steady, and ten minutes later, Bai Chang entered the funeral home, only to see the sedan chair floating left and right, and soon came to a mourning hall.
The sedan chair landed, Bai Chang walked out, and then looked at it, the mourning hall was gloomy, surrounded by two rows of wreaths, and in the transparent coffin in the middle lay a woman with a pale face, with white candles lit on both sides, white paper flowers hanging around, and a lot of paper things, such as cars, home appliances, mobile phones, gold and silver mountains, villas, and a lot of them.
What surprised him the most was that next to the coffin, in addition to a red-faced little boy with a paper tie, there was also a paper cow, standing there with his head down, vivid.
But the cow has no eyes on its head, which looks quite strange.
Paper was burning in the brazier in front of the coffin, the flames flickered and dimmed, and He Yuchen was wearing a coat and robe, sitting in front of the brazier in a strange costume.
The sedan chair fell to the ground, and the five ghosts bowed to He Yuchen, their bodies turned into fog, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into several paper figures and flew into He Yuchen's pocket.
He Yuchen got up at this time, turned around and smiled at Bai Chang, and then folded the sedan chair, and in the black mist, the sedan chair was quickly folded by her into half a palm, and it was also put into her pocket.
Bai Chang looked at the magic and couldn't help asking: "What kind of evil way are you, and you are embarrassed to say that I raise ghosts, and you have a lot of ghosts." ”
He Yuchen grinned, walked over and snatched the bag from his hand, and exclaimed, "Your sister, if you eat so much, you can't keep more for me!" ”
Bai Chang teased: "You are so powerful, what else do you eat, just tie it with paper and tie a roast chicken out to eat." ”
"I'm dying of hunger when I tie a yarn, and I can't even afford to eat dinner after making so many paper ties in one afternoon."
He Yuchen muttered, tore open a bag of instant noodles and ate it.
Bai Chang looked at the time, and there was still half an hour before the agreed nine o'clock in the night, so he walked around the mourning hall and watched He Yuchen's paperwork.
The paper-tied virgin also returned to the coffin, and stood on the other side of the boy, and a wisp of mist escaped and became the appearance of a paper-tied girl again.
Speaking of paper, this is very particular, and in the old days, whenever a large family made a set of paper, it was to invite the paper artist to the house, as little as seven days, more than a month, in order to make a complete set of paper.
He Yuchen has done so much in just one afternoon, it is indeed not easy. Of course, compared with the customs of the past, this has been simplified a lot, otherwise it would take two days to just set up a set of lotus chairs, nine lotus lamps and other exquisite things.
As for the paper cow, it is also said that after the person dies, the man will tie the horse and the woman will tie the cow.
The male horse is used to allow the deceased spirits to ride to the Yellow Spring, and the female is to help the woman drink water.
Because when a woman is in the yang world, she uses a lot of sewage for washing and cooking, so after death, she is punished to drink the dirty water and tie a paper cow to help the woman drink water.
Therefore, in the past, women in the old days paid attention to saving water when they were doing housework, otherwise they would have to drink it into their stomachs when they went to the underworld after death.
Bai Chang walked around, looked at the boy and girl again, and saw that these two were carrying lanterns in their hands, and there was a couplet on them.
"The golden boy leads the way, and the jade girl returns to the mountain."
This boy and girl are naturally serving the dead, Bai Chang stared at the virgin for a long time, and was secretly surprised in his heart, Zha Caimen can actually use the magic of soul control to let the female ghost directly possess the body of the paper virgin, and then go out with a lantern to buy food, it is estimated that the village sold her something, you must know that this situation has to be scared half to death.
"By the way, I said Master He, do you use real money to buy things, or do you use dark coins?"
Bai Chang suddenly remembered this question and turned around and asked.
"Nonsense, of course it's real money, I'm not so immoral, buy things with dark money, and scare people to death when I turn around."
He Yuchen said, while adding paper money to the brazier, the firelight suddenly brightened, reflecting the woman in the coffin, and her face became more and more weird.
A gust of wind swept through the mourning hall, He Yuchen looked around vigilantly, got up and came to the coffin, looked at the woman, sighed and said: "This sister is really pitiful, I heard that when I had a difficult birth, the man's family actually asked to protect the small but not the big, but neither of them was saved, you men, you really have no conscience." ”
Bai Chang also walked over and said innocently: "What does this have to do with me, but this kind of thing often happens, by the way, what about the dead fetus?" ”
He Yuchen shook his head and said, "I don't know, the fetus has already been disposed of when I came." ”
Bai Chang also looked down at the female corpse, and said: "It's quite pitiful to look at, you see, she gritted her teeth tightly, as if she had a lot of resentment in her heart and didn't vent it, no wonder, one corpse has two lives......"
"Shhhh
Bai Chang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are the two of us still afraid of corpse changes?" Not to mention the corpse, even if the cow comes back to life, I'm not afraid of ......"
He originally wanted to make a joke and turned around and pointed to the cow over there, but as soon as he turned around, he was stunned.
The cow that was clearly there just now is gone.
Suddenly, another gust of wind swept by, swirling in the mourning hall, and the paper money that had not been burned in the brazier rolled up in the whirlwind!
