Chapter 3: The Black Lacquered Coffin

Hearing the old man's words, I was shocked, finally someone came out, could it be that this old man is trying to slander someone? Nabu didn't eat much, just one flatbread, two steamed buns, three steamed buns...... Five...... Heptad!

Bu Yique naturally heard the old man's scolding, but since he started eating, the hands and the mouth have not stopped, until the old man approached him, Bu Yique hurriedly grabbed a few steamed buns and stuffed them into his mouth, nodded again and again, smiled at the old man, and slowly walked to me.

I was embarrassed for a while, this Bu Yique was too hungry and crazy, everyone came out to shout and eat it violently, so I sent people to scold the street, but I heard Bu Yique smile vaguely: "It's delicious, hehe......"

I pursed my lips, completely speechless, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to the old man: "Old man, I'm really sorry, we're so hungry, we haven't had a full meal for several days, so let's do it, when my master comes in a while, I will pay you as much as I want, my friend still hopes for your understanding." ”

After speaking, I glared at Bu Yique fiercely, why should I give this guy a round field without eating, Bu Yique is a thick-skinned practice, only caring about eating, and only smiling at me.

But after talking for a long time, the old man did not reply for half a sentence, but stared at the table in front of the door with a frightened face, and the food on the table, and did not move for a long time, after a long time, he suddenly turned to look at us, and said in a cold voice: "Do you know how much disaster you have committed?!" Alas...... Five generations of my housekeeper have been passed down in vain, but I still haven't been able to protect this sinful place, it seems that this is the punishment of my ancestor for my housekeeper...... Woo~~"

Belch! This...... I was dumbfounded, the old man actually cried as he spoke! It's not worth it, isn't it? Bu Yique ate at most ** steamed buns plus three flatbreads, a total of a few cents, I believe that my master still has this money, because at the beginning, the village chief Ma personally handed over dozens of big rings to the master.

The old man didn't say much more, he just turned around and left, where did he come from, I opened my mouth, I wanted to call the old man to apologize again, and wanted to leave him to wait for the master, but the old man obviously didn't want to pay more attention to us, I had to sigh helplessly, what is the matter with this fuss?

came back to his senses, but saw that Bu Yique had already put his empty hands on his face, and smiled contentedly: "Finally full, hehe!" On the seventh day of the first month, this is not blowing, the big white bun is really delicious, now that the old man is gone, why don't you have a few? ”

I was really hungry, and I wanted to eat all the food, but I still held back, licked my dry lips and said, "I still prefer to see the master before eating, otherwise the master will definitely scold me." ”

"The seventh day of the first month! One missing! Where are you?! ”

Suddenly, Master's voice came from behind us, and I immediately turned back excitedly and said, "Master! We're here! ”

Master hurried over to see us and asked cautiously, "Don't eat those foods!" You guys, did you eat it?! ”

I immediately looked at Bu Yique, and Bu Yique also looked at me blankly, and finally we both looked at the master together, and Bu Yique spoke first: "Daochang Yang, I'm ...... I couldn't hold back and ate a little ......"

Hey! After eating so much, do you still call a little? I smiled wryly and bowed my head and stopped talking.

Master's face turned cold, turned his head to look at me, and said, "The seventh day of the first month! Have you eaten it?! ”

How dare I hesitate, and hurriedly excitedly said: "I didn't!" Master, without you watching, how could an apprentice act on his own? Hey! ”

"Humph!" The master snorted angrily and said, "If you don't eat, you say that you haven't eaten, and you love to play poor!" Alas, you are really in trouble this time, and it is a great disaster! ”

"Huh?"

Bu Yique was suddenly stunned, and I was naturally taken aback, and shouted with Bu Yique, and I hurriedly asked, "Master, why did Yique get into trouble?" Isn't that ...... Stealing a few steamed buns from other people......"

I didn't dare to talk back to Master, but I didn't feel happy if I didn't say what I should say, so I had to lower my voice and mutter.

Master shook his head silently, took a few steps back, and then said to the two of us, "Look what this is!" ”

Saying that, the master bent his feet and kicked on the ground, and under such a kick, a layer of dust was immediately lifted on the ground, originally I didn't think so, but then I was stunned, and even shocked, after the ground was removed by the master, it actually revealed a layer of white ash, which seemed to be a little white snow, but I recognized it clearly, the ground was indeed white ash, and the white ash that I corrupted Old Lady Zhou was such a color!

In order to further confirm, I hurriedly bent over and pinched a handful, and looked down, it was indeed lime powder, this is strange, how did Master know that the dust on the ground was covered with lime powder? Is it all ...... the ground here?

I asked tremblingly, "Master, what does this mean?" Why is there lime powder on the ground? ”

The master sighed lightly and said: "It's also blamed on the teacher's carelessness, in fact, I should have paid attention to these a long time ago, but I still forgot about this, you know, everyone in the Daomen is well-known, in addition to the lime powder can corrupt the corpse, it also has the effect of isolating the corpse, so there must have been a master of the Daomen here, and arranged these Daodao, and these Daodao, just to support the corpse, the stone tablet inscription we saw before, the coffin town, it is indeed true, this should be the coffin everywhere, because this is a place to raise corpses!" ”

I didn't know what to say for a moment, if there were corpses here, then why didn't we see them? I haven't even seen a trace of corpse qi and yin qi? On the contrary, every household has a delicious white bun and fried flatbread, could it be that these are just tricks?

Thinking of this, I still have a question to ask: "Master, if it is a place to raise corpses, then why are there people?" ”

Master's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "People?" Who? Do you see people? ”

I nodded honestly and replied: "Yes, just now when Bu Yique was eating steamed buns, an old man came to reprimand him for a few words, and left quietly, Master, I saw him at the time, he is not a corpse or a dirty thing, he is indeed a human being." ”

The master smiled slightly and said, "That's right! Naturally, there will be corpse keepers in the corpse raising place, and it is also considered that there is a lack of creation, where did you see the old gentleman go? Take me to him, only he is safest right now! ”

The safest? Isn't it safe here? I didn't think so, Bu Yique and I glanced at each other, and stretched out our hands to the dark alley in front of us.

The master immediately lost his words, and casually ordered: "Hurry up!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked into the alley, I was stunned, dare to be in danger before and after I have not figured out a two, five, six or seven? But am I still hungry? I caught up with Master and said the truth, "Master, I'm really starving to death, can I eat some of those steamed buns?" ”

The master threw a sentence without looking back: "If you want to die, go and eat, the master will not stop you!" ”

"Ugh!" Bu Yique was suddenly choked by something, and made a strange sound coldly, and then said in shock: "Yang Daochang, eat...... What will happen if you eat that...... Will die?! ”

I hurriedly bit the tip of my tongue and stared at Bu Yique in a daze, daring to love that steamed bun and flatbread also have big problems!

The master shook his head and sighed, didn't say anything anymore, and continued to hurry, just at this moment, Bu Yique suddenly covered his stomach and shouted: "Ouch~~ No, my stomach is very uncomfortable...... Wow! ”

As soon as Bu Yique said that his stomach was uncomfortable, he suddenly turned around and bent over and vomited wildly, Master and I were in a hurry to stop, I was stunned, what was Bu Yique vomiting, it was not a bun residue, it was actually a puddle of green water, a bit like a paste thing, spit out a few times in a row, and some of those green paste slowly flowed down the corners of Bu Yique's mouth, I was frightened, my heart was already trembling, and I was flustered for a while.

The master walked quickly behind Bu Yique, reached out and patted Bu Yique's back, making him vomit a little more happily, at this moment, a musty and unpleasant smell immediately wafted out of the air, which was emitted by Bu Yique's vomit, I was uncomfortable, smelling this smell and couldn't help but turn around and retch.

After a long while, Bu Yique could not vomit, leaning back and exhaling, and then his body collapsed weakly, and the master quickly supported Bu Yique, and Bu Yique immediately shouted with a bitter face: "Yang Daochang, what is in my stomach?" How can there be these things?! ”

The master frowned and said, "What else can it be?" What can you eat? ”

The answer is already explained by two rhetorical questions, and that is...... Steamed buns and flatbread!

I chuckled in my heart, and quickly glanced around, this time I looked at the doors of the people around me, and saw that the tables and white buns placed in front of those gates were all very different, the red lanterns turned into white paper lanterns, the table cases were gone, the white buns and flatbreads were gone, and they turned into a big black coffin!

Looking at the front of another house, it was the same, and then another, and then another, I gradually couldn't breathe, these, in front of the door of these houses, there was actually a large black lacquer coffin, and it was exactly the same way, just horizontal in front of the door!

"Not good!" The master was stunned, and then said: "It seems that the Dao here has been broken, the ferocious qi can no longer be suppressed, the yin qi will soon spread throughout the coffin town, and the corpse qi will surface to the ground, we must hurry to that old gentleman's house, otherwise it will be troublesome later!" ”

I panicked, scratched my ears and cheeks and asked, "Master, what if we can't find the old man?!" ”

The master glared and reprimanded angrily: "Hurry up and help Bu Yique to hurry!" There's really no time to grind like this any longer! ”

I hurriedly stepped forward to support Bu Yique, and the master rode quickly with Bu Yique on the left and right.

"Whew~~~"

Out of thin air, a cold breath swept behind him, and the master only cared about shouting, "Run, run!" ”

It was dark ahead, but fortunately the road under his feet was quite flat, otherwise he would run so wildly, and as long as he touched a stumbling block, he would probably leave Bu Yiqiao behind.

I don't know how far I ran, I don't know how long I ran, I can only feel the cold breath behind me constantly pounce, far away from our backs, it seems to be a vicious wolf hidden in the dark, as long as I slow down, or suddenly, it will rush out of the darkness and swallow us clean in one bite!

Suddenly! There was a trail in front of us, a crooked path, and we galloped along the trail, and at last at the foot of a small hill we saw a small house surrounded by a bamboo fence, and the little house was lit by a withered candlelight, and I was overjoyed, and a brute force appeared out of thin air under my feet, and I plunged into the small courtyard with three people.

The door of the small house was closed, and I didn't care about anything else, so I kicked it open, only to find that the door was not latched, and the surprised eyes in the hall were staring at the three of us!
