Zhang Weidong was a soldier, and an unmarried older young man was running around outside, and it was normal for a friend with a little face, but there was a rule in this countryside that you couldn't run for funerals at night. The young man hurriedly took out and told an old man in charge of the family, the old man had a pigeon-egg-sized ball of meat on his face, looked Cha Wenbin up and down, and said, "You little brother, I seem to have seen you somewhere, are you surnamed Cha in Wulipu?" ”

Cha Wenbin hid himself into the darkness and said: "No, my surname is Liu, this old gentleman, I will come over and put on a stick of incense, and I will leave when I am finished, and I will be tired to show the way." ”

The old man looked at it suspiciously, but he didn't say more, everyone who came was a guest, and the guests who came to the door had no reason to rush out since ancient times. Cha Wenbin walked from the old man to the front door, and his face couldn't help but start twitching, presumably the smell in the room made him unbearable, if you want to calculate, today is the next day, tomorrow morning dawn, this Zhang Weidong will be sent out for burial, so he wants to know something before the burial.

Buried in the house, the smell became stronger and stronger, and even Cha Wenbin couldn't help but burp a few times, and the things in his stomach were surging one after another. The old man stood outside and didn't turn his head, Cha Wenbin nodded to him and began to walk inside, took three sticks of incense from the offering table and put them on the candle and lit them, in fact, he inhaled it violently, so that he could get rid of the smell in his nose, compared to the smell of the corpse, he would rather be smoked.

After kowtowing decently, Cha Wenbin got up, according to the rules, at this time, the guests can walk around the coffin, usually in a counterclockwise position, to pay homage to the last appearance of the deceased. There was indeed a person lying in the coffin, and the first thing Cha Wenbin saw when he got up and saw him felt that this person had died too abnormally, the flesh on his face was as he said on the road before, a large number of muscles were in a state of ablation, and there was a continuous overflow of bloodshot liquid under the rotten skin. Although Zhang Weidong was wearing a neat suit, the collar of his white shirt had already been dyed red and yellow. The rest of the parts were covered with quilts and clothes, Cha Wenbin couldn't see why, and walked around with bated breath When Cha Wenbin just wanted to look away, suddenly Zhang Weidong's body turned out to be open his eyes!

It's also a shame that Cha Wenbin is a Taoist priest, Rao is still so startled, how can a dead man suddenly open his eyes! The picture of the eyes opening suddenly seemed to be magnified several times, and suddenly came into his mind, Cha Wenbin looked at the empty and bloodshot eyes, he suddenly felt that this person died very unjustly?

The corpse was unusual, Cha Wenbin didn't plan to reveal his identity, he immediately thought about the old man standing outside the door and waved, when the old man was called in and saw the scene in the coffin, he retreated slightly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Do you have a funeral master here to deal with the aftermath?"

"Yes, yes." The old man nodded again and again: "But the man drank a few more drinks in the evening, and he has already gone back to sleep at this time, and he said that he would come over to cover the coffin in two hours." This child died a tragic death, and now he is dead without turning a blind eye, what do you want us to do? ”

"Find someone who is familiar with him, a junior or a peer, try to see if you can close your eyes, otherwise it will be difficult to say it by other people who come to mourn, and then it will be rumored ......"

The old man's expression was not to mention how ugly it was, he whispered: "This appearance, which outsider dares to touch it, the funeral master is still my old face begged, and I gave twice as many red envelop......es" He turned to Zhang Weidong in the coffin and said: "Child, you listen to the advice of the third master, this person can't be resurrected after death, and it's about to be time to go on the road, so let's go in peace......

"He has a heart that is not settled, and he can't leave." Cha Wenbin said: "I'll give you an idea, it's best to ask a gentleman to treat it, otherwise I'm afraid that there will be trouble at home in the future." ”

When the old man heard him say this, the expression on his face became even more nervous, and he hurriedly pulled Cha Wenbin out of the mourning hall and walked to a remote place and said: "It's not, but people don't want to be parents, this young person, we all call it a short-lived ghost, that was supposed to do something, but now it's good, what can I do!" ”

In rural China, it is common to refer to the young adult who dies as a short-lived ghost, a type of age that is considered unlucky. Cha Wenbin took the opportunity to ask to meet Zhang Weidong's parents, under the guidance of the old man, Cha Wenbin came to the side room, the old couple was lying on the bed in the company of several nephews and sobbing quietly, and there was a drip bottle hanging on the bedside for infusion.

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man to the blow Cha Wenbin can understand, this stranger's visit still attracted the attention of the house, and after the old man whispered in the ear of a young man a few times, the man immediately rushed out, and after a while, he hurried back and shouted: "Oh no, Brother Dong's eyes are open, he can't die!" ”

The old people were immediately pulled up from the bed by this roar like thunder, and people began to rush into the mourning hall, and it didn't take long for the news of Zhang Weidong's eyes to spread quickly, and more and more people began to gather at the door of the small courtyard. What Cha Wenbin has to do is to incite public opinion, he is no longer the same person he was a few years ago, now he is like an old Jianghu, he will use all the methods and means that can be used, he does not do this to be able to win this ritual and gain anything, but he wants to leave enough time to explain why the letter was sent to him.

Just in the mess, Cha Wenbin had quietly gone to a corner where there was no one, he changed a set of clothes unhurriedly, it was a bright yellow robe embroidered with gossip patterns, a square scarf on his head, a compass in one hand, a long sword on his back, and a gossip bag hanging obliquely on his shoulder.

"The Taoist priest is here! There are Taoist priests! ”

Many people don't believe in gods and ghosts, but when one day they see or experience it in person, then the subversive fear and uneasiness will be more fierce and helpless than ordinary people. Cha Wenbin wants this result, yes, Zhang Jindong's body is a little hand and foot he did, the opening of those eyes is inseparable from him, if not, how can you explain the stubborn couple? It was a strategy, but it worked so well that when he stepped into the courtyard, no one would doubt whether he had ever done it.

"Cha Wenbin!" "It's Daoist Wenbin!" Soon someone recognized him, in Anxian County, Cha Wenbin's name was like thunder, he was rumored to be a god, the world knows that there is a Cha Wenbin in Wuli in Anxian County, and it is even more sea to invite Cha Wenbin to sit in the house, but the world also knows that Cha Wenbin is rare to enter the WTO, and those who have stepped through the threshold of his house and eaten behind closed doors have also gone to the sea.

The old man was still dreaming in the clouds, and the young man just now looked like he was nine out of nine, could it be that the Taoist Weifu came to visit privately? Or did his old man feel that there was a grievance here and came to rehabilitate him? The panicked old man immediately greeted him, Cha Wenbin stretched out his hand and waved it and took the lead in saying: "People see me worrying about ghosts and seeing me worrying, ten people see me and ten people are worried, I am ordered by the master to go down the mountain, and the top of my head is into the hundred rivers." ”

Just like the fat man said, the more you make some things mysterious, the more those people have to be at your mercy, and Cha Wenbin also needs an appearance, which represents a kind of identity and a kind of momentum. This kind of easy words really made the family wait respectfully to greet him, only to see him stride in and take two steps with the compass and said: "Some people in your family died in vain, I watched the sky tonight and found that there was something strange in it, there is a deceased dreaming with me, hoping that I will come to find out the truth, dare to ask the master's house?" ”

That Zhang Weidong's parents also knew that their son's death was unknown, and the rumors outside were already talking, the old couple was not what Qiangzi said was an old antique that did not believe in gods and ghosts, on the contrary, they were actually afraid of tarnishing the reputation of Zhang Weidong and his family, so they intended to keep everything simple, and they couldn't say that their son would become a powerful ghost after his death, so where would anyone dare to come to this family in the future? Thinking that there would only be two people left in this empty house soon, that kind of fear and loneliness would only make the old people die faster, so I had no choice but to numb myself with a spirit similar to Lu Xun's Ah Q, trying to convince myself that there were no ghosts in this world.

Now, Cha Wenbin, the most famous in Na'an County, actually said that his son was wronged, and he was uninvited, and Fang Cai's death was not blind, and the two old men couldn't bear it anymore, and they both knelt down in front of Cha Wenbin, only saying that they hoped that the real person would give justice.

At this point, it is Cha Wenbin's own thing, he needs to know too much information, now there are many people, Cha Wenbin immediately came up with a plan and said: "Fellow villagers, please avoid each other, because after a while I will ask the Ten Palaces Yama to come up and judge the case, at this time, the yin qi is cautious, except for the immediate family, I am afraid that there is a threat of being rushed, so you should go back first, and wait for tomorrow to watch the ceremony." ”

There are timid people who immediately turn their heads and leave, and the bold ones who don't believe in evil are still waiting at the gate of the courtyard to see the excitement, these years, there are not afraid of many things everywhere, those people coaxed: "I haven't seen Yama Luo when I'm so big, and I opened our eyes." "That's it, it's more enjoyable than singing a big opera, we are hard, not afraid of ......"

Cha Wenbin thought to himself, when a group of you people are crying, this side will start to ignore those people and turn to that family to understand the cause and effect of this incident.
