179 Invite the old man into the coffin
In the kung fu of a stick of incense, the old man told everyone about Yanzhen.
The curse of Salt Town originated a year ago.
A young and strong young man died while he was doing farm work.
After the town's doctor examined it, he came to a strange conclusion.
Judging by the corpse spots on the guy's body, he should have died a month ago.
This scares the big guys in Salt Town!
For a while, rumors spread and opinions were different.
This passed on and on, and I don't know who came out of whom, and there were strange corpse spots on his body, and he could be bathed with salt.
Salt slows down the rate of decay in the body!
Originally, everyone didn't believe it, until more and more people had corpse spots on their bodies, and people were dying faster and faster.
The people tried to use salt to rub the bath.
I didn't know if I tried it, but I found out that the salt really worked.
Even if you rub the salt, you will still die, but at least not as quickly as before.
People are very adaptable, even if there are mourning processions from the town every day...... But that didn't stop the people from continuing to live.
After all, as long as people are alive, they have to eat and do things, right?
One day, a warlock appeared on Salt Town.
He told the people of Salt that the corpse spot was a curse from which no one could escape.
However, he saw that the people were suffering and couldn't bear it, so he deliberately set up a special area outside the town, as long as he sent people in the corresponding way, he waited for a while.
Those who die because of the curse of corpse spots can be resurrected.
When the people found out that there really was a place where they could "rise from the dead."
The sorcerer was worshipped by the panicked people as a living bodhisattva who saved the suffering and the suffering.
Before leaving, the warlock selected four young men and taught them the tips and rules of carrying the coffin.
After that day, the Warlock was gone, and the four coffin bearers became the "most popular" people in Salt Town.
After all, there are more dead people every day.
If you want relatives to enter the coffin early, you have to cut in line.
If you don't walk around with the four coffin bearers, how can people help you cut the line?
The people of the town wanted to get in touch with the four coffin bearers.
There are those who send food, those who send money, those who exaggerate and those who give away!
However, since the four young men had been taught by the sorcerers, they had become unapproachable.
All the gifts were returned by them one by one.
They told the people of Salt Town.
Everyone has to mourn in the order in which they died, and the same is true if they want to bring people out, after all, they come out in the order in which they entered.
Although there is no favor in this way, it is generally fair, and the people have no other choice, so they can only accept it.
"Amitabha!"
"Then why is it that when I ask the people of this salt town again, they just mention the word salt, and they just look frightened and avoid talking about it?"
Hearing Kongming's words, the old man smiled and said, "The warlock said that telling outsiders about this place at will is likely to cause others to covet it, which will lead to the destruction of the resurrection place. ”
"That's the lifeblood of the people in the town, and they'll tell you that there's a ghost!"
Speaking of this, the old man paused and continued: "Of course, I tell you, purely because the old man I don't want to go to that kind of place. ”
"Rather than living without people and ghosts, it is better to die for a hundred."
"And you won't have to die so quickly if you get that corpse spot, at least the old man and I haven't died every time I'm a warlock."
"And every time I survive, I feel a little stronger."
Li Qingshan walked to the old man's side and said with a smile: "Uncle, I think we may need your help to enter the coffin field." ”
"How can I help? I'm not dead! The old man frowned and said, "Besides, I haven't been in the old man." ”
"Try it, I've seen that special ritual."
Hearing this, the old man paused for a long time before he spoke: "Do you want me to play dead?" ”
"You don't have to pretend, just lie in the coffin, after all, the corpse spots on your body are probably the ones who enter the coffin." As he spoke, Li Qingshan stepped out, and his figure appeared next to the debris in the courtyard.
After removing the debris on the top, a mahogany coffin was revealed in front of everyone.
When the lid of the coffin was lifted, it was empty, with only a few remnants of salt crystals.
"Without further ado, let's go early and come back early?"
"Cheng, then I'll go get some bags of salt."
With a few words, the old man turned and walked towards a room dedicated to storing salt.
Obviously, they had only known each other for a long time, but the old man was able to agree to Li Qingshan's request so quickly.
One didn't explain too much, and the other didn't ask too much, the two seemed to hit it off and had a natural tacit understanding.
It is obvious that this tacit understanding all comes from Xiaomeng.
The old man really felt the shadow of "Little Dream Father" from Li Qingshan's body.
And Li Qingshan felt that the emotions shown by the old man were real.
This is not something that can be played out here.
……
The night was long, and there was an extra mourning procession on the silent street.
Different from the funeral procession of other families, there are very few people in this team, only three people, one horse, and one coffin.
Among the three, one monk carried the front two ends of the mahogany coffin.
The strength of these two people is really great, and the monk can steadily drag the coffin weighing hundreds of catties with only one hand.
The scholar poured salt into the coffin as he walked.
This is a job that only he can do, after all, he has seen it with his own eyes, and there will always be some flaws in the words he relays to others.
Therefore, the work of pouring salt and rubbing salt for the "corpse" fell on his head.
"Hey, I didn't expect the old man to hold on for so long."
"I ended up going into the coffin by myself."
"Little dream, for you, my grandfather is fighting!"
Whoa!
After pouring in another bag of salt, Li Qingshan kneaded the old man's body little by little as he saw that day.
"Don't say it, Li Xiaoyou's technique is really good, I almost fell asleep when I pressed the old man."
"Did Xiaoyou study medicine before?"
The old man looked at Li Qingshan, who was concentrating on massaging him, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
"I haven't learned ......," Li Qingshan replied with a smile: "But I still have salted meat...... The two are similar. ”
Old man:......
Not long after, the "mourning" team left Yanzhen, and Li Qingshan handed over the task of pouring salt massage to Little Red Horse.
And he himself went to the front, ready to start sprinkling salt to lead the way......
Crash!
Li Qingshan grabbed a large handful of salt from the coffin and sprinkled it into the sky.
Everyone looked intently at the flying salt crystals...... Success or failure is here, as long as the "road leads" out, they can enter the coffin ground......
