"The body is in the same coffin, the earth is safe, and the soul is in bliss."

Shi Jian gestured a few times in front of the dead body with Zhang Fu between his fingers, then turned to the relatives of the deceased and said, "It's time to be buried." ”

"Master Shi, how much is it?"

"Ten taels of silver." Putting away the silver taels, Shi Jian asked, "Do you need me to help the deceased be buried in the coffin?" ”

The relatives of the deceased were stunned for a moment, "Is there any explanation?" ”

Shi Jian said seriously: "It is to add money, half a tael for the coffin, one tael for the coffin, two taels for pretending to be a filial son, half a tael for tears, and a full set of four taels ......"

The relatives of the deceased waved their hands, "No need, hurry up!" ”

Shi Jian didn't care, turned around and left. He didn't charge indiscriminately just now, the fee for getting out of the coffin, covering the coffin, pretending to be a filial son, and shedding tears have become the practice of driving out corpses.

These fees were originally made up by the relatives of the deceased, who had a need for this, and the gentlemen who walked were profitable, and the pervert met the prostitute, and the two sides hit it off. However, it is not mandatory to charge an additional fee, you must be willing.

After returning to the town from the cemetery of the deceased, he opened a room in a 'dead body inn', rested for the night, and planned to return to Lishui County at dawn tomorrow morning.

He has been out for fifteen days, and the business has been continuous along the way, picking up those who are on the way, not taking those who are not on the way, those who are close to the road, not taking those who are far away, and the dead body that he drove tonight is the last.

Because he was worried about Xiang Sheng in his heart, Shi Jian was not ready to drive the corpse on the way back, so he spent the silver taels he earned overnight, prepared enough dry food, and left the room the next morning to set out on the return journey.

Three days later, Shi Jian returned to Lishui Xiang's house in the dust.

Although he had only been away from home for eighteen days, Shi Jian missed Xiang Sheng a lot in his heart, and he couldn't wait to see him.

has been in this world for more than ten years, and there are two people who are the best for Shi Jian, one is the master of the Tao, and the other is Xiang Sheng.

In the past ten months, Xiang Sheng has completely treated Shi Jian as a personal disciple and his own son, teaching the art of expelling corpses without concealment, and taking care of him in every way in life, so that Shi Jian feels the warmth of family affection in this dangerous and strange world.

In his previous life, he may not have cared much about this, but after the soul was pierced, in the face of the unfamiliar living environment and the unfamiliar faces around him, Shi Jian, who felt lonely, realized the preciousness of family affection, so he especially cherished Xiang Sheng's emotion that was not family affection but better than family affection.

"Don't knock, let's open the door." Zhang boldly shouted.

Crunch, the door opened, Zhang Daring saw Shi Jian standing at the door, and said with a look of surprise: "Shi Dao Chief, you came back so soon?" ”

"Well, your master, is Master Xiang at home?"

"It's all there, it's ......"

Zhang Daring hesitated for a while, and was about to say something, when he found that Shi Jian had bypassed him and walked into the courtyard, and Xu Zhenren, who heard the movement outside, came out of the house.

"Shi Daoyou, are you back?"

"You're back, Xu Daoyou, where's Master Xiang?"

Xu Zhenren's face changed slightly, revealing a guilty look, "Master Xiang, he ......"

The smile on Shi Jian's face disappeared instantly, he chuckled in his heart, and had a bad premonition, pushed Xu Zhenren away and rushed into Xiang Sheng's room.

The sun is shining outside the room, but the inside of the room is like a dark night, the light is dim, the window is tightly sealed by wooden boards, impermeable, not even a trace of light can penetrate in, there is a thick curtain hanging behind the door, Shi Jian opened the curtain and entered, a strong and pungent smell of Chinese medicine came to his face, which made him frown, and there was an unpleasant smell in the air, which was even more disgusting.

"Master Xiang......"

Shi Jian stared blankly at the figure lying on the bed, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was only eighteen days, a good person had lost weight, his face was sallow, his eye sockets were deep, because he was so thin that he was only skinny and boneless, he looked extremely thin, like a schoolboy curled up in a dark corner.

"Stone Friends ......"

Shi Jian turned around violently, pushed Xu Zhenren out of Xiang Sheng's room, slammed it against the wall, and asked in a deep voice full of anger: "Xu Daoyou, when I left, you promised me that I would take good care of Master Xiang, and that's how you took care of it?" Yes? ”

"I ......" Xu Zhenren was speechless, lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry!" ”

"Answer me!"

"Stone Road Chief!" Zhang Daring hurriedly came over and pulled away Shi Jian, "Don't blame my master, it's me who didn't take care of Master Xiang, Shi Daochang, if you want to blame, blame me......"

"...... Girl"

A soft voice came out of the room, Shi Jian's body shook, let go of Xu Zhenren and walked into the room, his fingers were a little empty, and the lamp oil was automatically ignited.

As the light in the room became brighter, Xiang Sheng's appearance at this moment became more and more clearly reflected in Shi Jian's eyes, and his heart was miserable, and sorrow came from it, and he walked lightly to the bed.

Xiang Sheng opened his eyes with difficulty, feeling that the figure in front of him was a little blurry, and he couldn't see clearly, only to see that he was very tall, as tall as his own son.

"You're back?"

"Master Xiang, I'm back from my walk."

"Good! Good! Good! Xiang Sheng said 'yes' three times in a row, and then coughed violently, coughing so that his sallow face turned red, and his thin body arched like a big bow.

Shi Jian's nose was sour, tears were about to fall, and he said distressedly: "Master Xiang, you have a good rest, I'll go to the doctor......"

"You're there." A dry hand grabbed Shi Jian's arm, Xiang Sheng shook his head and said: "It's a toss, in the past few days, Lao Xu has invited doctors from all over the county to help me diagnose and treat me, but it's useless, and I can't save it." ”

Shi Jianjian insisted: "There must be a way." ”

"I'm not afraid of death." Xiang Sheng said calmly, gently pulled Shi Jian to sit down, and said softly: "Don't blame Lao Xu and bold, it's none of their business, it's because I can't control my mouth, so I secretly took a puff of cigarette......"

Hearing this, Shi Jian's heart was on fire, he was shocked and angry, and he couldn't wait to grab the smoke pot and fold it into several pieces and throw it into the stove as firewood.

"Why don't you listen to me, do you want to die like that?" Shi Jian asked angrily.

"To be honest, I would love to die."

Shi Jian was stunned for a moment, and without waiting for him to speak, Xiang Sheng continued: "I wanted to die when I died in my arms seventeen years ago, and I kept asking myself all these years, why wasn't I the one who died in the first place? ”

"Child, birth, old age, sickness and death are common things in life, look at the point, if you are too persistent, it is easy to drill the horns, which is not good for you cultivators."

Xiang Sheng couldn't see it himself, and he had been persistent for more than ten years, but he still persuaded Shi Jian to look at life and death under such circumstances, which shows that he really loves Shi Jian.

"I know my own body, dealing with dead corpses all year round, yin qi invades the body, I can bear it when I am young, but I can't do it when I am old, even if I don't take this cigarette, I won't live for long."

Xiang Sheng suddenly laughed, "Actually, I've been holding on, and I don't know what to wait for, but I just have a feeling that the person I'm waiting for is coming soon." ”

He patted Shi Jian's hand gently, "You are the person I am waiting for, I have waited." You are very good, you are the actual Taoist, and you are the most precious gift God has given me. Even if you die now, you have no regrets! ”

Shi Jian didn't believe that he had no regrets, his lips squirmed, and he asked with difficulty, "Master Xiang, is there anything else you want to do?" ”

"I want to smoke a cigarette!"

Shi Jian squeezed out an ugly smile, "I thought you would let me defeat the Thunder Tiger at the next Golden Bell Conference." ”

"Haha." Xiang Sheng laughed loudly, laughing and laughing and gasping for breath, as if the laughter had exhausted all his strength, "You'er, when you are alive, you have to fight, fight for your head to break the blood, fight for the vigorous, I'm dying, what are you fighting for that false name?" Don't fight, you and our corpse chasers are not all the way, don't let the Xiang inheritance be broken, cultivate your way well, and live your wonderful life vigorously. ”

"I know."

"Bring me the smoke pot, I want to sip the cigarette."

"Master Xiang......"

"It's the last pot."

Tears welled up in his eyes, Shi Jian picked up the cigarette pot and said with a forced smile: "I'll roll you cigarettes myself." ”

"Good!"

After sipping the pot of cigarettes, Xiang Sheng fell into a coma and never woke up, and two days later in the night, he died suddenly.
