There is a big coffin inexplicably placed on the deserted ancient bluestone street, which has to be said to be very weird, Chen Xingyong's face also changed, and he asked softly if I should go?

When I thought about it, I saw that the village was coming, so it was impossible to be blocked by a coffin, right? So he motioned to Chen Xingyong, walked forward slowly, and looked at the situation when he arrived in front of the coffin.

It was only about 100 meters away from the coffin in front of us, and soon we came to the coffin with the cart containing the body. I saw that this coffin was painted with black paint, and the smell of pine and cypress wood could be faintly smelled, obviously a new coffin that had just been made.

Most of the coffins are made of pine and cypress, and willow wood is taboo. The pine and cypress symbolize longevity, and the willow tree does not bear seeds, which is believed to lead to the extinction of the descendants of the deceased. In some places, coffins made of cypress wood are mixed with some cedar wood, and it is said that coffins made entirely of cypress wood will be hit by the sky (lightning strikes). After Shoumu is done, he can't move it there, as the saying goes, moving casually is not good for me. The outside of the coffin is generally painted vermilion or black, with gold characters written on it, and there are also paintings of flowers and birds. The most elaborate and valuable is the gloomy wood, followed by the golden silk nanmu, cypress, and it can generally be said that the thirteen circles of fir are used, that is, the thirteen fir trees are carved into a coffin.

The coffin was not made with nails, but with hemp rope and the bottom of the coffin tied together with the lid. Three were tied in the horizontal direction, and two in the vertical direction. The horizontal direction is long, and the vertical direction is short, which is in line with the saying "three long and two short".

"Sir, do you think there will be someone in this coffin?" Chen Xingyong asked this inexplicably.

To be honest, I really can't answer this, it's impossible to open the lid of the coffin to take a look, right?

I said, "Let's leave it alone, this coffin is blocking our way, let's move it to the side!" ”

After speaking, Chen Xingyong and I stepped forward to push the coffin. But just as we were about to move the coffin, there was a sudden wind and a creak of doors opening in a closed shop on the side of the street, and an old man came out of it.

As soon as the old man appeared, his words were already preached: "Two adults, do you want to take the yin road or the yang road?" ”

When an old man suddenly ran out of the long deserted and deserted street, I raised my vigilance a little. When you look at it, this person is not a living person, but a ghost. But fortunately, listening to the old man's tone, it was obvious that the two of us were black and white.

Since he treats us as black and white, I am naturally relieved a lot, at least he doesn't dare to mess around. I motioned to Chen Xingyong to be silent, so I took a step forward and said, "Today the master is going to take the Yang Road, but you put this coffin here?" ”

The old man hurriedly nodded and stepped forward, and said with a look of dedication: "If the two adults take the yang road, I will help you open the door and lead the way." ”

When I heard this, I was very happy, and I thought that the old lady had really helped us a lot.

As he spoke, the old man knocked the coffin three times with his crutch, and then the coffin suddenly stood up, so frightened that Chen Xingyong and I both took a few steps back.

The whole coffin was erected in place, more than two meters high, and the old man untied the five hemp ropes that were originally tied to the coffin, and then the coffin lid creaked, and then the coffin lid was completely opened, only to see that it was empty, and it was dark as if the bottom of the coffin could not be seen.

Seeing this, Chen Xingyong and I were stunned, thinking what kind of trick this old man was playing?

Then the old man made a gesture to us to come in, which meant to let us into the coffin!

I thought to myself, it seems that this old man is trying to play with us, and I immediately asked, "What do you mean, you little ghost, and why did you let me in the coffin?" ”

The old man was also stunned and said, "Didn't the adults say that they wanted to take the yang road?" ”

I said, "Then what if I'm going to go down the dark path?" ”

The old man pointed to the ancient bluestone street in front of us and said, "The yin road goes forward, and the coffin is the yang road." ”

I also understood what the old man meant, if you take the yang road, you have to enter the coffin, and if you take the yin road, you have to move forward, because the road of the yang world is the road of the layman, and what you want is to be promoted to become rich.

However, if we want to run into the coffin, I really don't dare to try it easily, who knows if this old man is deliberately yin us? And the coffin in front of me is dark and faint, and I don't know what is in the coffin, in case the old man climbs into the coffin and covers the coffin, it will be a small life.

After thinking about it, I said, "What kind of trick is this old man playing, why did you make this coffin in front of the master?" ”

The old man shouted as if he was very aggrieved: "My lord, Liucun has always been this rule, the living take the yang road, carry the coffin and take the yin road, the yin and yang roads are divided from now on, and heaven and man are on one side." Besides, I don't want to do this, old man, I hope the adults can let the villain go! ”

I didn't understand it for a while, but I didn't bother to ask more, because I was afraid of exposing the impermanence of black and white. However, the old man looked pitiful, as if he had some kind of trouble, so I said, "Master, let's go on a dark road first, and then come back after a while." ”

The old man nodded, and reached out to make a gesture of please.

In this way, Chen Xingyong and I pulled the cart and walked to the bluestone road next to the coffin, but after only two or three steps, I suddenly planted a big heel with instability, and almost fell into a.

Chen Xingyong was startled, hurriedly helped me up, and asked me what's wrong?

To tell the truth, I was shocked myself, thinking that this was really a boat capsized in the gutter, and I was actually mixed with the fatal yin wind.

Yes, the bluestone pavement is very flat, and I can't get a head, obviously it's a fatal wind. At that moment, I secretly complained, this is called making the door cloudy and mixed feet, one step at a time!

Yes, the yin and yang industry pays attention to a colorful head, and when you go out, you will plant your head, which is doomed to everything not going well, one step at a time, indicating that there will be trouble ahead.

I said to Chen Xingyong, "Let's be careful and calm down ahead." ”

Although Chen Xingyong didn't understand what I meant, he didn't ask much, nodded and followed me on......

I don't know how, after walking through the coffin, not only did I plant a big heel immediately, but also the wind in front of me was protruding, only to see the wind gusting on the street, and the originally very clean ground did not know where to blow the yellow paper ashes, which were blown by the yin wind, floating in the air and whirling, it looked like it was flying in the sky, strange forest. The plaques outside the shops on both sides are crunched by the wind, as if walking on the Yellow Spring Road in the underworld.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more and more straw ashes scattered on the ground, and the originally deserted and empty streets in front of us have become full of straw paper money, as if it is black, making it difficult for us to open our eyes.

Chen Xingyong was so frightened that he asked me what was going on?

Of course I knew it was a ghost, and I told him to pull me by the clothes and not get separated. Then he hurried forward, but after a few steps, a little fire appeared in the thick ashes of the sky in front of him, and then there was a sound of joy.

Listen carefully, the sound of joy seems to be someone welcoming relatives and giving off the wedding, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the suona is ringing in unison, which is very lively and festive music.

Hearing this, my brows furrowed to the sky, and I thought to myself, what the hell is going on, is there a big problem?

And just when I was very curious, there was a burst of people and horses in the dense fog ahead, in front of which were several people beating gongs and drums and playing suona, and behind was a man riding a tall horse, followed by a red sedan chair carried by four people, and there were dozens of people in a group of people, all dressed in red and bright colors were extremely festive, and at a glance they knew that it was a team to welcome their relatives and marry their daughters.

In this way, a team of blowing and blowing, lively and lively, extremely festive greeting procession walked out of the yellow paper ashes in front of them, as if running out of the Yellow Spring Road in the underworld, revealing a thick weird and gloomy ......

"Why is there still someone here in the middle of the night to greet your relatives?" At that moment, Chen Xingyong asked curiously.

I said, "Then where is the person to welcome the marriage, we are obviously catching up with the ghost to get married." ”

"Huh? Ghost marriage! Chen Xingyong was so frightened that his mouth almost fell to the ground, and he said in fright: "Sir, what is that...... So what to do? ”

"This is a big problem!" My brows furrowed, and I couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Yes, it's really in trouble now, the bluestone street is only so wide, there is such a team in front, we are pulling the cart, should we give way to them? Or let them make way for us? For a moment, it stumped me.

"What the hell is going to happen, sir? They're coming. Chen Xingyong was so anxious that tears were about to come out, but he still pretended to be calm and stood next to me without moving.

I didn't need him to remind me, I also knew that the group of people was coming, the joy of blowing and beating was very noisy, and a team of people dressed in red and festive to welcome the relatives came to us not far in front of us with gusts of yin wind, and there was no intention of stopping.

I thought about it for a while, we are now dressed in black and white, how can we not weaken the prestige, not to mention that the yang people are in a hurry, if they make way for the yin people, but they will let their own yang fire be damaged, these are the doorways in the yin and yang industry. As the saying goes, the yin and the yang are happy to meet, the yang is covered and collides head-on, the yin people will be divided into one, the yin people rush to borrow the way, and the three souls and seven spirits have no way to escape.

Thinking of this, I immediately said to Chen Xingyong: "Go, don't care about anything, just keep moving forward." ”

After speaking, Chen Xingyong and I pulled the cart and rushed towards the welcoming procession......
