As the saying goes, some people are alive, but in fact they are dead. Some people are dead, but he is still alive. The distance between life and death is only the distance between the previous second and the next!

In Longyan (an ancient continent), there are many customs of burying corpses, such as hanging coffins in the sky, burials of solid spirits in the ground, and joint burials and marriages.

Zhang Sanxing in Xiangxi, who is exactly eighteen years old this year, and his parents died. And his grandfather Zhang Baishun is a famous Eight Immortals in this area, the so-called Eight Immortals, in fact, they are the coffin bearers.

In this area of Xiangxi, all funerals must be held for seven days to accept the worship of future generations, and then eight coffin bearers can carry the body to the cemetery for burial.

In addition to carrying the coffin during the day, Zhang Baishun also runs a shop for underworld objects. Specializing in selling some incense, candles, coffins, wreaths, etc., and doing some dead man's business.

Perhaps Zhang Baishun dealt with the dead too much, causing the yin qi to enter the body and not die well, and he died at the beginning of this year and left the world.

As Zhang Baishun's only descendant, Zhang Sanxing is alone and helpless in this world. had to inherit his mantle, continue to do the dead man's business, and support his family to barely survive.

The shop is very old, with a door facing west instead of south. There are two locust trees planted at the gate, about the size of a basin. The shop is divided into two courtyards, the front and the backyard, and the coffin is placed in the backyard for the purpose of stopping the corpse. In the front yard, some incense candles are placed for the sacrifice of the ancestors.

At this time, it is autumn, the fallen leaves are flying, the crows are flying south, and the earth is showing a gloomy color, and there is no vitality at all.

Zhang Sanxing saw that no business had come to the door for several days, so he simply covered the front door and came to the backyard to clean the corpses lying in the coffin.

"Crunch, squeak!"

At this moment, the old wooden door creaked. Then a girl in a fiery red dress pushed open the wooden door in a panic, stood at the door and shouted, "Zhang Baxian, are you at home?" Zhang Baxian, are you at home? ”

It's not that the girl doesn't want to go in, but she's a little scared, this shop is not yang, it's very dark and damp, and the atmosphere is a little gloomy.

And there is also a strange custom in the local area, that is, women dressed in red must not enter this kind of shop, otherwise it is easy to provoke some unclean things.

This girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, although she is not stunningly beautiful, but she can also be said to be quite delicate and beautiful, full of youth and liveliness.

Zhang Sanxing, who was in the backyard, was grabbing the arm of a middle-aged man lying in the coffin, and was about to wash it, when he suddenly heard someone calling, put down the corpse's arm, and took off his gloves. After washing in the water, I went to the front yard.

"Ye Zi, why are you here? What's the matter with such a panic? Zhang Sanxing scratched his head and smiled a little shyly.

"Zhang Baxian, just now in the river at the entrance of the village, my father saw two bodies, a man and a woman. When salvaged and looked at it, the two corpses turned black all over, which was very different from the usual drowning and white corpses.

My dad said that you got the true biography of Grandpa Zhang and were able to examine the body, so please hurry up and take a look. Ye Zi didn't dare to approach Zhang Sanxing, took a few steps back, pinched his nose and said.

Zhang Sanxing saw Ye Zi pinching his nose and took a few steps back, knowing that it was because he had a strong smell of dead corpses on his body, and Ye Zi didn't like it.

Immediately, he hurriedly took off his coat and replied: "Hehe, Ye Zi, such a matter as human life should be reported to the official and sent to the hospital for examination?" How can I be foolish in this? ”

"My dad has already reported to the official, but our mayor said that the road here is not easy to walk, and it will take several hours until the people from the hospital and the county lord come. The mayor is afraid that there will be some changes in the corpse after a long time, so he asks you to go and palm your eyes first. Ye Zi replied.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Sanxing pinched his chin, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Okay, wait for me to take the things." ”

After saying that, he came to the room and took a small bag with some cinnabar, compass and other things.

It took about two or three minutes before he came out of the room and said to Ye Zi: "Let's go!" ”

"Hmm!"

Hearing this, Ye Zi nodded. Then he walked in front to lead the way, followed by Zhang Sanxing.

The two walked for a while, Ye Zi felt very bored, so he asked, "Zhang Baxian, why are you doing this?" Now there is a lot of work outside, and it is better for you to go outside to find something to do than to do this.

Besides, it's really not good for you to be a barefoot doctor. Now you deal with corpses every day and do the business of the dead, aren't you afraid of breaking Yangshou? ”

"Hehe, why don't you do it? All this work of dealing with the dead should be done by people, right? Besides, the dead do not deceive people, but the living often deceive people, so be careful everywhere, how tiring it is to live like this. Zhang Sanxing replied indifferently.

"How can you say so badly, although some people outside are very bad, but there are still more good people. If you keep doing this, I'm afraid you won't even have a wife in the future, and who wants to marry someone who deals with the dead in these days. ”

Ye Zi grew up playing with Zhang Sanxing since she was a child, and she has an excellent relationship, and she has always been taboo about any words, and what she says is very casual.

Zhang Sanxing saw that Ye Zi seemed to be a different person, and he was a little surprised when he said these nonsensical words: "I said Ye Zi, what's going on with you today?" Such a mother-in-law, this is not your style? ”

Hearing this, Ye Zi turned her head and chuckled lightly at Zhang Sanxing, and a dark purple line flashed in the center of her eyebrows. Said dissatisfiedly: "Zhang Baxian, I'm not doing it for your good." You're good, and you blame my mother-in-law, huh! Ignore you. ”

"Shh

As soon as Zhang Sanxing saw the purple stripe on Ye Zi's eyebrows, his hair immediately stood on end, goosebumps jumped violently, and he also gasped in his heart.

As if he had seen something unusual, he involuntarily took a few steps back.

"What's wrong? Zhang Baxian? Ye Zi stopped and glanced at Zhang Sanxing suspiciously.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's just something that I thought of, you just don't care." Zhang Sanxing frowned, his heart was up and down, but he pretended not to care.

"Nerves, talking without a head and no brain!"

Ye Zi scolded with a smile and ignored him, and continued to walk towards the river.

"It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be."

Seeing Ye Zi walking towards the front as if he was nothing, Zhang Sanxing kept muttering, his brows furrowed.

He clearly remembered that his grandfather Zhang Baishun told him that everyone's luck would be hinted at on everyone's face. The center of the eyebrows shows purple lines, and the disaster of blood and light will definitely die. The center of the eyebrows shows green lines, and the plague is close to the rotten bones and sores. The eyebrows are white, and the family is bankrupt and cannot be turned over.

Now that Zhang Sanxing saw the purple stripe between Ye Zi's eyebrows, how could he not be shocked? At the moment when his grandfather was dying, he could clearly see the purple lines between his grandfather's eyebrows.

However, now the purple line between Ye Zi's eyebrows is even worse than Zhang Baishun, which also means that she will definitely die within three days.

Zhang Sanxing couldn't figure it out, Ye Zi obviously rarely dealt with corpses, and she was still a virgin, with a strong pure yin qi to protect the Yin Pass, so she shouldn't be so easily attacked by purple veins.
