Chapter 457: Buying a Coffin
I lay on the ground for a long time. Gradually, the people around them dispersed.
I turned my head and saw that only Chang'e was with me. But with her, Wushuang can't forgive me.
I wanted to get her away, but I didn't know what to say. Simply, I lay on my stomach with my head down and pretended to be dead.
I lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, but I could hear the conversation of a few people not far away.
I heard the King of Jizo say, "Wushuang, you quickly take out Madame Zhang's soul, we have something important to ask her." ”
Wushuang was quite respectful to King Jizo, but his tone was also a little absent-minded. She asked, "Looking for my mother?" What do you ask? ”
King Jizo said, "She probably knows the whereabouts of that sword." ”
Wushuang was silent for a while, and then said, "I don't want to be involved in that sword. I'm going to take my parents to the underworld, and don't bother us anymore in the future. ”
King Jizo said with some eagerness: "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, Mrs. Zhang knows the news, even if she doesn't want to look for it, the rest of the people will not give up." ”
Wushuang said, "The rest of the people? Who else? Evil thoughts? As long as you keep your mouth shut, no one will know the whereabouts of that sword. ”
Then, I heard a flurry of footsteps over there. After ten minutes, it was quiet.
I sat up from the ground and saw that Wushuang was gone. Only a few people were left of the Jizo King, standing there dejectedly.
The ghost envoy walked over slowly and complained to me: "Xu You, what's the matter with you? Wushuang was leaving just now, why didn't you come here to stay? ”
I shook my head: "Wushuang hates me so much that the roots of my teeth itch, how can I keep her?" I'm afraid she'll go faster as soon as I show up. ”
The ghost envoy nodded and said, "What you say makes sense. Then he immediately changed the direction of the wind and said, "Since you know that Wushuang wants to leave when he sees you, why don't you stay away?" ”
I waved my hand: "Don't be funny here, I'm in a bad mood." ”
I stood up and didn't even pat the dirt off my body. I walked up to King Jizo and asked, "What should I do?" ”
King Jizo thought for a moment and said, "Actually, what Musou said also makes sense. Only a few of us in the world know the whereabouts of the Peachwood Sword. As long as we don't talk about it, there shouldn't be anyone looking for trouble with Wushuang. ”
I smiled bitterly: "Evil thoughts really don't know that Mrs. Zhang is the key to finding the Peachwood Sword. But he thinks I know. In that case, will I never have peace again? ”
King Jizo thought for a moment and said, "If evil thoughts are not removed, they will always be a great disaster. However, we have to find a way to get rid of him. ”
I saw King Jizo standing on the ground and thinking for a moment, then he turned around, raised his voice an octave, and said with some annoyance, "If I join forces with us, I will definitely be able to take down the evil thoughts in one fell swoop." ”
When I saw King Jizo's face, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous, so I could only echo: "Yes, I think so too. ”
King Jizo said loudly again, "If it weren't for you to take your evil thoughts away. How did things come to be like this? ”
I suddenly saw the Bodhisattva of the Bodhisattva of the Blessed Eyebrows becoming like this, and I couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong with you?" ”
King Jizo suddenly reached out and punched me. It wasn't too hard, but it knocked me to the ground. He huffed and said, "I can't think of a way." Fend for yourselves. ”
I was amazed when I saw King Jizo gesture with his mouth and say, "Someone is watching us." ”
Before I could react, I heard King Jizo say loudly, "No one will be able to get that peachwood sword anyway." We don't want to care about it either. Let's leave it at that. ”
Then, he strode away with the ghost envoy and the abbot.
Chang'e always stood by my side, and she looked at me worriedly: "Houyi, how is the King of Jizo?" ”
I touched my chest, and something was stuffed in there. I didn't take it out, just waved my hand: "That old man in the village, where is their house?" ”
Chang'e looked at me in surprise, but she still said, "In the third house, the one with the red gate is." ”
I nodded, waved my hand, and said, "Take me there." ”
The two of us didn't say much, and went straight to the old man's house. I didn't knock on the door, and walked in with a bang.
It was quiet in the yard, and it was quiet in the house, so I closed my eyes and felt it carefully. Then the sheets were lifted.
The old man was lying under the bed, shivering.
I frowned and said, "Old man, what are you doing here?" ”
The old man shuddered and said, "You ...... Are you done? ”
I nodded: "After the fight, don't worry, from now on, there will be nothing in your village." No more walking corpse harassment. ”
The old man looked at me tremblingly, and the look in his eyes seemed to say, "Yes, I drove away a big devil, and another one came." I don't dare to mess with you people. ”
I dragged the old man out from under the bed and said, "Get us some food." ”
The old man trembled and said, "Rice...... Well, I'll go to the village store and buy some. ”
I looked at him with a smile: "You want to run?" ”
The old man waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare." There are immortals living in my house, and it is too late for glory, how dare I run? ”
I said to Chang'e, "You go with him to buy food." ”
Chang'e nodded and agreed.
After the two of them walked out the door, I pulled it out of my arms. It's a crumpled ball of paper. There are some words scrawled on it.
I looked at it, and the corners of my mouth couldn't help but smile.
At this time, the door was dark, and Chang'e and the old man returned. I saw that they had a lot of food, so I beckoned Chang'e to eat together.
When I had eaten my fill, I saw that the old man seemed a little uneasy. So he walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Uncle, don't be so afraid, we are not bad people." I know both the imp judge in the underworld, so go back and ask them to help you find out how much yang life you have. ”
When the old man heard this, his body trembled even more.
I sighed and asked lazily, "Is there a coffin shop, paper shop or anything like that in your village?" ”
The old man shook his head.
I asked, "Where do you go to buy a coffin, you dead people?" ”
The old man thought for a while and said, "Go to the town and be cremated in the crematorium." ”
I glared, "Fart." If you are willing to be cremated, where did those bodies come from two days ago? ”
The old man laughed dryly and said, "Some are more honest and obediently cremated, and some are not so honest, so they left the corpses." As for the coffin, it's not easy to buy. It's only available in town. ”
I had a headache when I heard this, thought for a moment and said, "Can you take me to town?" ”
The old man looked at the sky: "Now? It's getting dark, can I go tomorrow? ”
I shook my head and said, "I'm going to die tonight, and you're going to let me go another day?" Will you carry my corpse on your back tomorrow? ”
The old man was a little frightened by my words: "What do you mean? Why did you die tonight? ”
Chang'e also looked at me strangely. I waved my hand at her: "Don't worry, everything is under control." ”
Chang'e didn't know what she thought, her eyes were dim for a while, and she said silently: "Die tonight?" After you die, do you want to return to the underworld? ”
I thought about it, but there was really no way to explain it, so I had to ignore it and follow the old man out.
The old man pointed to the tractor in the yard: "Young man, can you help me shake the tractor away?" I'm getting older and a little bit weaker. ”
I sighed and helped him shake the tractor away. Then we drove out into town in this broken tractor.
In fact, at our speed, we wouldn't have had to drive a tractor. It's just that the coffin can be used to transport it back later.
The old man looked at the tractor tremblingly, and Chang'e looked at me inexplicably. I insisted on urging the old man to the town.
After a bumpy ride, I finally came to the front of the coffin shop. This is a curtain facing the street. Outside, there is an urn made of cement. This kind of urn is not small, and the height can reach the lower leg of a person.
When I saw this coffin shop, I was relieved because this coffin shop is very commercial. It won't be like the one in Taiyuan, full of evil spirits.
The old man walked to the gate and began to bang on the door. A tired voice inside said, "It's getting dark, no more business, come back tomorrow." ”
I shouted loudly, "Please open the door, we are in a hurry to buy a coffin." ”
