readx;??? On a big tree more than ten meters away from the courtyard where the mourning hall is located. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Luo Yu sat cross-legged on the thick branches. Look in the direction of the mourning hall. Slowly settled.

Night. It's getting deeper. Some of the young men who were keeping the vigil couldn't bear it and went to sleep. Only a few were still chatting quietly.

When the hour is about to pass. Luo Xiu was left alone before he fell asleep. He was the older of the young men. He is the older brother of many people. So naturally, they won't fall asleep like these younger siblings and don't care about anything.

Luo Xiu gently opened the bedroom door. Come to the mourning hall. He closed the door softly.

I saw that there was not much oil in the lamp. He picked up the pot of oil and added some to it. Then I flicked the wick upwards. Let the ever-bright light shine a little brighter.

Finish doing these. Luo Xiu didn't go back. The first time to update, but came to the coffin and looked at the old ancestor lying inside.

He's because he's older. Naturally, I spent more time with my ancestors than others. Since he was a child, he liked to go to his ancestors to chat with him. Listen to the stories in the book told to him by the ancestors.

It can be said that Luo Xiu's relationship with the ancestor is the best. Many of the things he knows now were also taught to him by his ancestors at that time. It is also the latest one to leave the old house to go out to study.

In his memory. It seems that the ancestors will always be like that. Hoary. But kind.

Because the ancestor's hair, beard, eyebrows, etc. have long been gray. So I stayed with my ancestors for those years. He had nowhere to feel the aging of his ancestors. Not to mention the feeling that death is coming. More and faster chapters are here.

And he also wants to. The ancestors were able to go on like that forever. Even if it's so old. But at least it can always be in the old house. Let him have a thought in his heart. There is a concern. And not like it is now. Lying lifeless in this cold coffin.

Luo Xiu touched the tears on his face. Sighed softly. Walked around the coffin. When he came around the tail of the coffin. Suddenly, I saw a man at the offering table. The man was wearing a black riding coat. I'm bending over and doing something.

I was taken aback by someone who suddenly appeared. Luo Xiu couldn't help but shout: "Who... ”

But the man didn't pay any attention to Luo Xiu. Or lie on the offering table and don't know what he's doing. Because part of the view was blocked by the coffin. Luo Xiu couldn't see the man's face. I couldn't see the scene on the offering table. I just thought the man was familiar.

Luo Xiu took a deep breath. Slowly circled the coffin. When he could see the offering table. It's almost up to the wall. And he finally saw it clearly. The man was actually eating the tribute on the offering table. Except for a pig's head in the center. He almost finished eating all the fruit and everything.

I saw that the man had just come to steal food. Luo Xiu was relieved. No more fear. But angry: "Who are you?" Why did you come to the mourning hall to steal food? I don't know if that's rude. This is a great disrespect to the deceased. ”

Luo Xiu stepped forward to pull him away. But just when he was about to meet the man. The man actually picked up a bunch of incense on the offering table. Reached into his mouth and chewed. Luo Xiu was shocked. The hand stopped in mid-air. More and faster chapters are here. The entire mourning hall could only hear the sound of the man chewing and burning incense.

"Click......"

A bouquet of incense was eaten quickly. But the man stopped eating. Instead, he turned his head. He grinned at Luo Xiu.

But Luo Xiu did not relax. It's more scared. He looked at the man's face. I only felt a tingling sensation on my scalp. The hair is going to stand on end. His eyes widened. His jaw trembled violently.

Saw. The man's face was pale and pale. And it's flat. The facial features of the face are all drawn. There are also a lot of fruit residues on the mouth. and the crumbs of burning incense.

Where is this personal. It's just a paper man.

Luo Xiu also recognized it. This is exactly the same as the bundle of papers in the yard. The first update was the paper figure that was originally standing there waiting to be burned on the day of the burial.

No wonder he thought this man was familiar. No wonder he looked at the clothes on this man's body familiarly. In the past two days, when I go out and go in, I will always see this paper figure. Can you not be familiar.

Seeing Luo Xiu stunned. The paper man suddenly opened his mouth wide at Luo Xiu. As if to swallow him. Luo Xiu even saw a mouth full of sharp teeth peeking out of his mouth that was originally just a painting. I also saw that there were no organs or internal organs in his body. There was only a pile of chewed fruit and incense, etc. Lie quietly inside.

"Ahh

Luo Xiu didn't have time to think about it. He shouted out as he stepped back.

Soon. Luo Xiu retreated to the wall. Leaning against the wall, there was no way out. More and faster chapters are here. The paper man lunged at him. He hurriedly rolled to the side. Kankan dodged the paper man's outstretched hand.

Turning his head to look at Luo Xiu, who was rolling on the ground in embarrassment. The paper man straightened up and just wanted to chase after him again. A golden light flew in from outside the door. In an instant, it passed through the body of the paper man. The paper man stood on the ground. I can't move anymore.

Luo Yu came in from outside the door. came to Luo Xiu, who had already hid by the door. He was lifted up. Then. The door to the bedroom next to the mourning hall also opened. Several young men ran out of it pulling at their clothes. looked at Luo Yu and Luo Xiu suspiciously with sleepy eyes. But when they saw the paper figure standing there. They were all so frightened that they woke up instantly.

Soon. Footsteps were heard outside the gate again. Several elders who lived nearby also ran over. Look at their neat outfits. As soon as they update, they obviously understand that tonight is not peaceful. Always ready to come and save people.

"Something happened." The young second house walked in slowly behind the elders of the Luo family.

Luo Xiu pointed to the paper figure standing on the ground with trembling hands with trembling hands: "That...... The paper figure lived. ”

Niyake walked over to the paper figure. I looked up and down. I saw a small hole in the paper man. He looked back at Luo Yu: "Good skills." ”

"Passing the prize." Luo Yu nodded. It's a compliment.

Niyake smiled. He turned his head and waved at the paper figure. The paper figure was cut above the chest. The incision was very neat and smooth. It's like being cut out by an extremely sharp knife.

The body was destroyed. The paper figure fell instantly. Fruit scraps and incense from the body fell out of it. fell to the ground. See this. The people around him all stepped back. Paper figures can actually eat. It's really weird.

"I remember. Your name is Luo Yu. Is that right. Niyake stepped forward and cleaned up the things on the table. Except for the pig's head and the ever-bright lamp that have not been moved. Everything was thrown away by him.

"Yes." Luo Yu nodded. I didn't feel uncomfortable because Niyake talked to him but didn't look at him.

Put a new tribute on the offering table. The second house respectfully put three incense sticks on the ancestors. There are still words in his mouth. But I don't know what to say.

Finish doing these. The second house looked at Luo Yu again: "There is something I need your help with." ”

"It's incumbent." Luo Yu didn't say much. The two houses now say they want to ask him for help. That's definitely the Luo family's business. He couldn't shirk. I won't shirk either.

"I'm going to discuss something with Luo Yu. Young people continue to keep the vigil. The others dispersed first. There will be no more tonight. Rest assured. Niyake waved his hand. Be the first to leave. He just reminded them what to do. The specific implementation is naturally arranged.

The elders calmed the young men. Let them not be afraid. Continuing the wake is. Niyake said it was fine. That's really fine.

Luo Yu took off the mini Buddha bead-style necklace hanging around his neck. Come to Luo Xue in the crowd. More and faster chapters are here. Put the necklace on her. Smiled and touched her head. Say "good night". So I went after the second house.

The second house didn't go far. Just waiting for Luo Yu in the corner outside the gate. I saw Luo Yu coming out. He stepped out of the darkness that the light couldn't shine on. Straight to the point: "Do you know the forbidden land of the Luo family." ”

Luo Yu was stunned. Then he shook his head. The forbidden land of the Luo family. He had never heard of the existence of any forbidden land in the Luo family. In fact, he hadn't been to this Luo family's old mansion a few times in total. After all, he is not a member of the Luo family. Therefore, the existence of family secrecy in the forbidden land of the Luo family. How could he possibly know.

Seeing Luo Yu shaking his head. The second house asked again: "Then do you know a little bit about the funeral customs of the Luo family?" ”

This time Luo Yu nodded. When he was a child, several old people in his family died. He also came at the funeral. So naturally I know something.

"Do you know after the Luo family passed away? Always have an old mirror ready. At the time of his burial. Break that mirror. Niyake walked towards a nearby courtyard. Motioned for Luo Yu to follow.

"Yes. It is said that 'it is difficult to circle the broken mirror'. The mirror is meant to remind the deceased that the fate of the dead is over. Luo Yu walked into the courtyard. Unexpected. This courtyard is unusually simple. Just planted a few willow trees that grew particularly luxuriantly. And it's that small-leaved willow. This is a type of mourning tree. The branches are often made into mourning sticks and spirit flags.

"You're wrong." Niyake shook his head: "The Luo family is different from ordinary people. The Luo family is even a female dependent. A funeral service must also be held at the old house after the death. And it is necessary to strictly follow the ancestral funeral customs of the Luo family. Otherwise, it will definitely be difficult for the future generations. ”

The second house pushed open the door and walked into the main house. Bow to the altar in the main hall. On the three sticks of incense. Then he took down the mirror on which the offering was placed.

The second house walked in front of Luo Yu. handed the mirror to Luo Yu: "The mirror prepared at the funeral is for the soul mirror. After the death of the people of the Luo family. The soul does not go to Hades at once. Instead, it will be attached to the mirror. He was buried seven days later. Shatter the Soul Mirror. They will enter the underworld. ”

Luo Yu took the mirror in his hand and looked at it. This mirror is old, though. But it's just an ordinary mirror. There is no trace of making ritual utensils. But its mirror surface is very cool. The temperature should be close to freezing. So Luo Yu didn't feel the ghost on the mirror. But he also knew that the two houses should not lie to him.

The second house saw that Luo Yu did not object. patted Luo Yu on the shoulder. With a serious face, he said, "The time when the ancestor left was not very good. And he is the leader of the Luo family. His immortal death almost hurt the Luo family's fortunes. If it doesn't matter. The Luo family will have a catastrophe of extermination. There is now a way to resolve this crisis. The only way to do this soul mirror containing the soul of the ancestor is to send it to the forbidden land. Relieve the evil. ”
