Chapter 14: The Ghost Locust Tree
Half a ring, I saw the coffin Zhang slowly walking out of the cabinet from the coffin shop with a paper figure in his arms. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I wondered, "What about your mother-in-law?" ”
The coffin Zhang said that she would bring her wife with her, but she came out with a paper figure, and I felt a little inexplicable.
The coffin Zhang showed a weird smile at me, "This is my mother-in-law......"
"This paper figure is your mother-in-law?" I felt my head buzz and suddenly go blank. For a moment, I was shocked in my heart, a normal person would take a paper figure as his wife? What kind of quirk is this or psychopath?
Jiuwu on the side saw my doubts, and immediately pulled me and explained to me.
It turned out that this was the case, the coffin Zhang did have a wife when he was young, but later there was an accidental fire in the house, and his wife and the coffin Zhang's house were drowned in that merciless fire.
If it weren't for the fifth uncle, Zhang would have starved to death with his destitute coffin.
With the funding of the fifth uncle, the coffin Zhang can be regarded as having this ten-mile coffin shop, and the fifth uncle is in the underground business and has a wide range of contacts, but all the coffin business was introduced to the coffin shop by the fifth uncle.
And the coffin Zhang paper man's hand work is indeed quite exquisite, because he misses his mother-in-law too much, the coffin Zhang used the paper man to tie into the appearance of his wife, and also painted the facial features of the paper man, which can be described as vivid and lifelike, and the face is almost the same as his wife.
It's kind of a sight and a person!
However, I saw that the paper figure in the coffin Zhang was holding was so realistic, and his facial features seemed to be the same as our human beings.
And I listen to the meaning of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, this coffin Zhang seems to have the power of magic and the ability to bring the paper man to life.
If it were an ordinary person, they would undoubtedly not believe it when they heard this, but I saw the paper figure alive in the Qinling Ancient Tomb with my own eyes, or a zongzi, so I had to believe it.
And the most strange thing for me is that this paper man, that is, the wife of the coffin Zhang, actually has a strange yellow charm pasted on his body.
Then the coffin Zhang put his wife down, only to see him pull out a black box from behind without saying a word.
It's a box, but I actually look more like a coffin. And the coffin is very small, just a few centimeters longer than the box containing the violin, and about the same width as the violin box.
The coffin was expressionless, and his wife (paper man) was carefully picked up from the ground, and then put it into the coffin.
After doing all this, the coffin Zhang stood up, and then said, "Do you know what material my coffin is made of?" ”
I stared and found that the coffin was black, and I categorically refused to be sandalwood, let alone golden silk.
"Is it the gloomy wood living willow wood?"
Coffin Zhang shook his head, then grinned: "I made this from the broken wooden block from the ghost locust tree in front of my door." ”
"The Ghost Locust Tree?" My heart was shocked, and then I asked very curiously, "By the way, what is the use of this ghost locust tree?" ”
I always felt that the ghost locust tree in front of the coffin shop was a little evil.
The coffin opened its mouth, and the ugly yellow tooth was unobstructed, and then he said: "This ghost locust tree in front of my coffin shop has a great effect. My ten-mile coffin shop is supported by this ghost locust tree, if there is no ghost locust tree, my ten-mile coffin shop will be destroyed directly......"
I was a little stunned, a little incredulous: "Really? Such a big effect? ”
Coffin Zhang seems to be reluctant to talk to me about the ghost locust tree, I think it's right, since this ghost locust tree is so important, he naturally doesn't want to tell this secret. Since he doesn't want to say more, I can't say anything more.
I changed the topic and asked the coffin Zhang: "I feel that your hand work as a paper-binding person is a must, how can selling coffins be your main business?" ”
Unexpectedly, the coffin turned pale, and said with a straight face: "Listen to the nonsense of the old man in the ninth five-year again?" My main business is to tie paper, and selling coffins is a side business......"
"That's not right......" I frowned, "But isn't there a sign of 'Ten Mile Coffin Shop' hanging outside your door?" ”
The coffin waved his hand and said, "This is not very important. ”
"Hoo ......"
"Hoo ......"
"Hoo ......"
At this moment, a strange wind blew into the coffin shop, and the wind was so strong that it blew some paper figures on the ground.
"What's the situation?" I looked horrified, the wind was so weird.
The wind was gusting, and many of the candles in the coffin shop were blown out.
Coffin Zhang said: "Don't panic......"
Then he said, "Tonight is Halloween......"
"Tonight is Halloween......?" My head is full of black lines, I wiped a cold sweat, today is actually Halloween? I didn't know, it was really faint.
The coffin said: "Today's people who are dying, such as those who have been killed, drowned in the water, or burned to death by fire, hanged, etc., such lonely souls and wild ghosts cannot enter reincarnation. And I'm here in a coffin shop, and I'm already yin, and with the ghost locust tree in front of my door, within a radius of a hundred miles, if there are ghosts, they will naturally rush to me......"
All the ghosts within a radius of 100 miles are rushing here? I felt my heart twitching, and it seemed to have something to do with the locust tree.
Could it be that there is some secret between the ghost and the ghost locust tree?
And in that case, isn't that every Halloween? So many evil ghosts rushed to this coffin shop, and this coffin Zhang was actually safe, it seems that this coffin Zhang is not simple.
Sure enough, the people around the fifth uncle are not simple, it seems that all of them are strange people.
I looked at the coffin Zhang's calm face, and it seemed that I didn't pay attention to these evil ghosts at all.
Since the coffin Zhang is so fearless, I don't need to worry about anything. Besides, I'm really not afraid of anything.
The evil ghost is murderous, but after all, he has not opened his mind.
Since it is an evil ghost who has not opened the mind, what am I afraid of?
I have a way to deal with this kind of evil ghost, whether it is a soul collection banner or a soul sealing nail in my hand, or a Maoshan Dao talisman and a yin and yang dragon bone mirror, all of them can deal with ghosts.
Of course, in front of Jiuwu and Coffin Zhang, I naturally don't want to expose these hole cards.
Jiuwu on the side was afraid that I would be worried, so he immediately reached out and clasped my shoulder, and then whispered: "Little Fifth Master don't worry, the coffin Zhang will deal with it." ”
I didn't speak, just nodded, but sneered in my heart, I'm worried about a fart, if it weren't for you, maybe these ghosts would have fallen to their knees in front of me.
The ghosts within a radius of a hundred miles are all gathered in the coffin shop, and maybe my soul collection banner will be able to absorb a lot of ghosts. And it will not damage the yin virtue, because they are vain ghosts and are rejected by reincarnation, so they stay in the yang world to make waves.
I saw the coffin Zhang put the ghost locust wooden coffin on the ground, and then hurriedly ran into the cabinet of the coffin shop, and after a while, I saw the coffin Zhang holding a wooden box about 20 centimeters long.
"What's that?" I'm a little curious.
Coffin Zhang smiled: "This is the ancestral secret treasure of my old Zhang family." Aren't you curious about the realism of my paper figure's facial features? ”
"Huh?" I exclaimed, "Could it have something to do with this secret treasure in your hand?" ”
Coffin Zhang smiled: "The little fifth master is smart. ”
Then the coffin Zhang opened the wooden box, and saw him take out a pen from the box.
My eyelids twitched, and I exclaimed, ", Nima, this is ...... Maleon? (To be continued.) )
