Chapter 747: Golden Rat Coffin
Between the words, the old lady on the noodle stall wiped the table with a handkerchief and distributed the cold noodles everywhere on the table.
"Old aunt, isn't it time for the Baiwu Dragon King Sacrifice yet, there are so many of us, and a few of us are still counting on coming early to occupy a stall."
Yue Guanchao snorted a mouthful of cold noodles, the strength of the sour and refreshing mixed pickles crispy fried all over the mouth, although it is not as good as the restaurant dishes, it is also refreshing to eat.
"Hey, eldest nephew, then you guys are late, in previous years, you came to stand up for the stall half a month in advance, this year is the first year of the people's feast, this is a major event near Dongting Lake, even the people of Yueyang City have to prepare in advance, my stall is a month in advance, and the one that was occupied earlier, you don't know it."
Yue Guanchao saw that the old lady was willing to say a few more words, and asked again: "Is the people's meal so important?" Didn't the common people come in previous years? ”
The old woman lowered her voice and said: "Oh, that's not the same, in the past, the common people were burning paper and making treasure boats outside the Dragon King Temple, and if they didn't see the incense when they entered the temple, it was not considered merit, and it didn't play any role. ”
"I heard that this year is bigger than in previous years, and when the time comes, both Buddhism and Taoism will have to send people to do things, plus the common people can also come to the pillar incense, and even the incense shop that usually makes incense sticks has come, just waiting for the east wind of the dragon king, so as to make a lot of money."
Yue Guanchao listened to the old aunt for so long, and finally understood that this year's Baiwu Dragon King Festival was so lively, the people near Dongting Lake would come to incense, and even, there were some long-lived old people who would come here collectively to pray for blessings.
Whether it is the general public or the squire and sage, during the period of coming to the Dragon King Temple, eating, drinking, eating, living, traveling, and entertainment, almost all of them have to be solved near Junshan, this is a big business, as long as it is a stall, you can make a lot of money, if you add the siphon effect of the Dragon King Festival, it will continue to gather more outsiders, and there is no harm in all benefits, and the department store vendors are of course unprofitable and cannot afford to be early.
One word, money is troublesome, godly is sincere, and making money is also really wanted.
"Oh, then according to what you say, this dragon king sacrifice is so important, but how did I hear that there are people nearby who have died?"
As soon as Yue Guanchao's words came out, the old woman's expression was shocked, and she quickly lowered her voice and continued: "Big nephew, I am willing to tell you this, there is indeed such a thing, but in order not to let the people be afraid, Junshan Town locked the news and did not ask us to spread it. ”
Don't let the people be afraid that it's fake, for fear that the voice of Junshan Town will be delayed...... Yue Guanchao pretended to be surprised, and also lowered his voice and echoed: "Really, I thought it was some kind of gossip again." ”
"It's no wonder that Junshan Town has blocked the news, these villagers died too strangely."
The old woman's eyes flickered for a moment, and she continued: "Corpse, live like a golden mouse. ”
"How is this possible, we only heard that he drowned in the water, but he didn't say that he looked like a big mouse, and besides, it is impossible for a person to become a golden retriever mouse after death."
Yue Guanchao deliberately misinterpreted the meaning of her words, which provoked the old woman to shake her hand again: "You don't know, I just died a few days ago, and I haven't had time to put a coffin after I died for a day, it really looks like a rat essence, full of golden hair, and the fangs in my mouth are old. ”
"Then why is this all of a sudden, doesn't it mean that the Dragon Lord blesses?"
After Song Siyuan interjected and came in, the old woman sneered and said: "The blessing of the Dragon King is true, but it is difficult to stand the shrimp soldiers and crabs, back then, the Dragon King and the Dragon King Niangniang were carried out of the water by the corpse king, do you know what this corpse king looks like?" It's a golden retriever with a plate tooth, which scares people and makes people tremble. ”
"This is the seventh or eighth, I heard the villagers of Junshan Town say that a lot of people have died in the past few months, and some villagers are already thinking about whether it was to build a temple for the Dragon King back then, and did not build a temple for the Golden Rat Corpse King to make it unhappy, but it is also considered that this corpse king brought up the jade coffin, and there is no merit and hard work, so he simply set up a rat fairy temple for the corpse king, which is near the broken island."
"Don't say it, there's never been a dead person since."
It seems that the rat fairy kills people, they didn't expect that even the corpse has the characteristics of a mouse, Song Siyuan immediately continued to ask: "Old lady, then, there is always a saying about the rat fairy killing, right?" There are unjust debtors and owners, why do they harm those villagers, they can't just harm people. ”
"How do we know this, but one thing is certain, these villagers seem to be fishermen who go out of the lake to fish and hunt at night, and they are all near Longjun Island at night, and they only found out that they were dead the next day, and the other small traders and vendors don't know."
When asked about this, they became curious about the appearance of the corpse, and it happened that there was a new movement in Sun Daqiao's stall at this moment, and several people pretended to bow their heads to eat noodles and began to pay attention to the movement on the front cofferdam.
These people are obviously not here to tell fortunes, all of them are dressed in martial arts trousers, and the leader is wearing a robe and horse coat, it is estimated that he is an old man in charge, this person first made a gesture to Sun Daqiao, and then Sun Daqiao also returned the salute with a smile, and talked kindly.
Yue Guanchao looked at the people in the distance and guessed: "It seems that it is these people from Junshan Town, according to their politeness to Sun Daqiao, it is estimated that they have succeeded." ”
"That's true, Sun Daqiao's lip service, none of us can compare, as long as we can make the reputation of the old immortal, the people of Junshan Town are worried about the rat immortal's life, so I promise to ask him for help, and when they leave, we will continue to follow."
Before Yue Qingshan's words fell, he had already seen Sun Daqiao fold the guise, and glanced at them a few times, this was a signal to prepare to leave.
Seeing that the matter had been completed, Yue Guanchao dropped a few copper plates, and continued to walk forward with them, following the traces of Sun Daqiao, bypassing the Longjun Temple, and entering the Yizhuang halfway up the Jun Mountain.
Here away from pedestrians, few people come, if you go too quickly it is inevitable to attract attention, they have to follow far away, and then they are copying the path uphill, it is bound to be harder than Sun Daqiao, and when the group walked to the vicinity of Yizhuang, Sun Daqiao has entered Yizhuang.
"You wait here for them to come out, and Brother Xu and I will go to the vicinity of Yizhuang to find out the news first."
After finishing speaking, Yue Guanchao and Xu Xiake detoured all the way from the bushes to Yizhuang, and jumped on the beam of the house lightly, fortunately, the people brought by the old steward had already entered the main hall of Yizhuang, and few people came in the courtyard, they didn't need to avoid the inspection of the martial artists of the courtyard, and they had already come to the roof.
Lift the tiles and snoop with bated breath.
Yue Guanchao stared carefully at the two people in Yizhuang, Sun Daqiao was led to the coffin by the old steward, and really saw that there were seven or eight white embryo coffins in the main hall that had not yet been painted, it can be seen that the dead died in a particularly hurry, they didn't even have time to prepare the lacquer carving on the coffin, so they had to hastily use the embryo coffin to collect the corpse.
These white embryo coffins are covered tightly, the coffin lid is sealed with copper nails and half nails, and the surface is stretched out with cinnabar ink lines for several straight red marks, as if a grid cage is drawn along the coffin, and the front is also painted with black dog blood A suppressive blood charm slightly larger than the water tank, and the seal is pasted on all sides of the coffin, and the pig bones are tied around the coffin lid, which looks extremely evil.
After Xu Xiake looked at the magic of these coffins, he explained: "Ink bucket sealing coffins, yellow fu veneers, and pig bones are the means of Jianghu Daoists, and it is estimated that the people of Junshan Town have already found other Jianghu Dao people to show them, so they have come up with this kind of move." ”
"It's just that, after all, this is a means of bluffing, and it is basically useless."
Between the words, several martial artists had already begun to pick up hammers and pull out all the nails on the coffin lid, only to hear a boom, the coffin was completely lifted by them, and the corpse inside was also along the square tile, and was taken into the eyes of the two people on the roof.
The corpse is really exactly what the owner of the cold noodle shop said, most of the corpses are men, the body is covered with a layer of hairy hair, it looks like a hairy child, the fangs of the mouth are protruding, the lips are pitch black, some people are turned out, some people are fangs exposed, with hairy beards and black eyes, it really looks like a big mouse who has been put into a coffin.
"Oh, that's not good."
Sun Daqiao looked at the corpse and pretended to be surprised and said.
"What's the matter, master, this corpse has been made to ward off evil spirits according to the instructions of the Jianghu Daoist, but what's wrong?"
As soon as the old steward saw Sun Daqiao's ugly face, he immediately became nervous and asked urgingly.
"Old steward, the corpse is buried after death, these people do not know how to die unjustly, holding their breath in the coffin, the longer they are sealed, the more powerful it is, and after a hundred years, they will become wronged and old, very terrifying, if you want to never suffer from future troubles, then you have to let me know how they died, and the bell must be tied to the bell, I know how they died, and I know how to send them away."
Sun Daqiao flickered, and said that the old steward's face was slightly embarrassed, and the gossip tabloid report had already aroused the curiosity of the outside world, so he wanted to block the news, and now, Sun Daqiao mentioned this matter again, but he felt a little embarrassed.
"Huh? If you don't want to say it, then I won't be able to make it difficult, please ask for another master. ”
"Hey, old fairy, it's not that we don't tell you, it's that these people are dying too evilly, and it's really dangerous to say it."
The old steward motioned to the martial artists to block the door, and then he explained sneakily: "These corpses are all fishermen who steal fish at night. ”
"Fishermen who poached fish?"
"Yes!"
"In the past three years, fishing and hunting are not allowed for fifty miles near Longjun Island, and now three years have passed, the ban on fishing and hunting has been lifted, and there are fresh goods and foreign companies that have rented these waters, and they are only used by commercial houses to fish during the day, and these villagers also want to make more money, so they secretly drove the fishing boat into the Longjun Island area at night, which angered the envoy of the Dragon King and was killed."
Some people died, but not completely......
