Chapter 31: The Coffin Shop

The abbot and I hid far away in the corner, nervously watching the excitement.

The two of us walked all night in shrouds, and we saw a lot of ghosts big and small along the way. At this time, the fear in my heart gradually subsided a little.

The abbot looked at Zhang Yuan, stabbed me and said, "Your master is not very good, why can't the two women beat?" "

I shook my head: "Maybe this woman is too hot." Being a ghost is also an evil ghost. "

The abbot nodded.

Over there, the master and the woman fought for a while, and gradually they couldn't parry, and they couldn't help but run away. And the woman stood in the street and cursed for a while, then turned and went back.

The abbot looked at it and praised it again and again: "No wonder people say that good people don't live long, and bad people live for thousands of years." If this person is ruthless, he won't even dare to provoke the ghosts, won't he live a long life? Xu You, your master is gone, shall we go back? "

I sighed, "Let's go, let's go back." "

I had just stood up, when suddenly, the abbot pulled me: "Don't move, it's here again." "

I quickly crouched down and looked out at the corner.

I saw two figures in the distance on the street corner. These two people are very familiar, one of them is clearly Zhang Yuan, and the other is unknown. The two of them talked as they walked, and they danced and gestured from time to time, as if they were talking about something.

This time, without any delay, the two of them went to the house again.

A few minutes later, the three of them came out again. The woman was chained, struggling, scolding. But no matter how hot she is, she can't beat two people after all. After struggling for a while, the momentum gradually weakened. was pulled by Zhang Yuan and staggered forward.

I sighed: "It seems that what the driver said is true." Master is really a ghost. "

The abbot nodded: "And it's not just your master, he also has helpers." "

The two of us sighed for a while, and saw that the three of them were going away. The abbot and I twisted incense and secretly followed.

The three of them walked slowly on the road. The abbot followed for a while, and gradually became a little strange: "How do I feel that they are going in circles?" This road can obviously be crossed directly, why do you have to make a big detour? "

I thought about it for a while, pointed to the river, and said, "Master said that water is yin, and I guess that although they can move around at night, the heavier the yin qi, the better it will be for them." "

The abbot nodded. No more talking.

A few hours later, we were already on the outskirts. It's a quiet little village. Lights are dark in every house. However, we turned a corner and I found a house with lights on.

The house was ordinary, with two black lacquered wooden doors closed. It is inlaid with copper rings, and two small stone lions are placed on either side of the doorway. This pattern is full of tradition and conservatism.

Two white paper lanterns hang from the gate. There are candles lit inside. Slightly swaying in the night breeze.

The abbot and I looked around at the darkness around us. I was speechless by the silence of the night.

Zhang Yuan and another ghost escorted the woman to the door. The two of them did not knock on the door, but pushed the woman down the door.

Then Zhang Yuan clapped his hands with the man, hooked his shoulders and walked away.

The abbot looked at me: "Shall we go?" "

I scratched my head: "Let's go, why don't you go?" "

The two of us had walked two steps, and suddenly I came back again, picked up a clod of dirt from the ground, and made a circle on the gate of the house.

The abbot was a little puzzled: "What are you doing?" "

I said, "I'd like to go and see this." But the night is terrible, make a mark, come tomorrow. "

The abbot gave me a thumbs up: "High." "

The abbot and I waited for Zhang Yuan and the ghost to go away before sneaking back to the Great Sage Temple. This night, even the most sleepy abbot could not sleep.

The next day, Zhang Yuan really slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, it seems that it took a lot of energy to hook the soul last night.

After eating, the abbot had the courage to find Zhang Yuan and explained the reason for making up the soup in advance, saying that he would go to the vegetable market with me to buy some grain, oil, rice and noodles. Zhang Yuan nodded, sat on the futon and worked hard, and let us go out.

The abbot and I slipped out of the Great Sage Temple, and the abbot asked me, "Do you remember the road last night?" "

I shook my head: "I don't remember." At that time, I was so scared that my pants were going to pee. "

The abbot glared: "Then how do we find it?" "

I pointed to the stinky river: "Follow it." "

The abbot and I covered our noses and scolded as we walked. The river stinks.

When he was halfway there, the abbot suddenly stood still, staring at a family with his eyes: "Xu You, look at that family, was it last night?"

I turned my head and looked at it, and I immediately understood. Their family is in the process of funeral. That's right, it was the woman from last night.

I sighed, "Let's go, maybe I was reincarnated last night." "

The abbot looked at me suspiciously: "So fast? "

I nodded, "Haven't you heard?" Some people's souls are hooked out, and then they are pushed down a door inside, and when they wake up again, they are already babies. Let's go to the big black door last night to see if their family has a baby. "

The abbot nodded, and the two of us walked along the river together.

The villages on the outskirts were easy for us to find. According to last night's mark, the abbot and I stopped in front of the black door last night.

The abbot looked at me: "How do we get in?" Knock on the door? "

I scratched my head, "Do you want someone to ask first?" "

As he was talking, an old man walked by the side of the road.

The abbot and I stopped him and said, "Uncle, is it okay to ask you about something?" "

The old man said: "Young man, you ask, what's the matter?" Our village is not big, if you find someone, I promise to find it for you. Our people here are the most enthusiastic. "

I pointed to the black wooden door next to me: "What's the family's last name?" "

The old man's face suddenly changed, he shook his head, lowered his head and wanted to leave.

The abbot grabbed him and asked dissatisfiedly, "Aren't you the most enthusiastic?" Why do you want to leave without saying a word? "

The old man squinted and looked at the abbot: "Great monk, if you don't have anything to do, just stay in the temple and recite the scriptures, and you don't want to get involved in other people's village affairs." Otherwise, cut off your bald scoop and use it as a wooden fish. "

The words made the abbot stare in the eyes: "You old thing, how can you talk?" "

The old man stiffened his neck: "What's the matter?" You're still going to hit me? The dog bites Lu Dongbin. I'm not afraid of you than my fists and feet. Then the old man picked up a stick from the side of the road.

Maybe they were arguing a little louder, and gradually, a circle of people gathered around us. Those villagers persuaded the old man one after another: "Second uncle, what are you competing with these two stupid Bs?" Let's go for a walk and take a couple of sips at my house. "

The abbot and I were so angry that we stared at each other, but there were many people on the other side, and we couldn't scold and scold, and we didn't dare to fight. He could only stare at them with a fierce gaze.

The villagers scoffed at us. He didn't take us seriously at all, and pulled the old man away.

I looked at the abbot: "What shall we do?" "

The abbot scratched his head: "Knock on the door directly?" Then he lied that their family was blackened, and there was a bloody disaster recently. If they believe it, let's just ask about the situation, and if they don't, it's a big deal to be kicked out. "

I nodded, "That's just right." "

The two of us discussed it and unified our voices. Then there was a knock on the black wooden door.

No one inside responded. I scratched my head: "No one? "

The abbot knocked again, but there was still no response.

At this time, I saw a half-grown child, standing at the intersection with a bowl of noodles, watching the excitement while eating.

I shouted at the half-grown child, "Kid, do you know where the family has gone?" "

The half-grown child said to us, "Nowhere is it going, the family never goes out." "

The abbot and I were wondering, and a tractor was driving in the distance.

The tractor was so broken that the body was rusty, and the iron slag was dropped as it went. The front of the car is even more absolute, it is simply a turf, and a diesel engine is placed on it. There was not even a chimney, and it rang all the way, braving sparks, and it was deafening.

The abbot covered his ears and scolded: "Paralyzed, it's a city anyway, how can this kind of broken car come out." "

I also covered my ears and shouted, "This is the suburbs." The traffic police brigade can't control it. "

The abbot and I were pressed against the wall to make way for the tractor. However, after a few sudden noises, the tractor stopped in front of the black wooden door.

The half-grown child was eating noodles and watching the excitement, when suddenly an aunt came out and reached out to grab his ear. The half-grown child howled and was driven home.

After the tractor stopped, a young man jumped from above. The young man banged three times at the door, and then shouted at the top of his voice: "Buy a coffin"

After this shout, the wooden door slowly opened. Before the abbot and I could see what was inside. The young man had already jumped in. I closed the wooden door with my hand.

The abbot and I suddenly realized, "It turns out that this is a coffin shop." No wonder these villagers are so taboo about this family. And the paper shop a reason, bad luck. "

The abbot scratched his head: "Something is wrong." I remember that in my hometown, all carpenters were coffins and never sold coffins. Looking at the meaning of this house, it seems to specialize in selling coffins. "

I waved my hand: "Maybe it's a good business." So I specialized in selling coffins. "

As the two of us talked, the young man had already come out of the doorway. With a rope on his body, he actually pulled a coffin out.

Then the black wooden door slammed shut.

The young man sat on the ground panting. He looked at the two of us, "Hey, buddy, do me a favor." "

The abbot and I walked over and helped him put the coffin on the broken tractor. Then he was tied to death with a rope.

The abbot asked, "Young man, who lives in here?" "

The young man shook his head: "I don't know if someone else introduced me." The person inside didn't say a word, and was probably dumb. "
