The day after I returned to Qingyangguan, I went to Master on time early in the morning to practice.

When I was out before, I had already experienced the benefits of practice.

At that time, I was sending Li Ruyue home, and I was attacked at the door of her house.

But this time, not only was I able to resist reluctantly, but I was able to scare that person away, and I was somewhat proud in my heart.

With the positive feedback, I naturally have more motivation to practice.

However, Zhang Rong has been recuperating in the Taoist temple recently, and it is estimated that he is idle, and he sits there playing games when I practice, and shows off to me from time to time that he doesn't need to practice.

Today, Master was going to give lessons to those junior brothers and sisters, and he didn't have time to supervise me here, so he called Zhang Rong over.

"Zhang Rong, you supervise your junior brother for me."

"If he's lazy, you whip him."

After speaking, the master handed the whip to Zhang Rong, and then left.

Zhang Rong held the whip and looked at me with a grin.

"Senior brother, that's how I came here when I was a child."

"But I don't have to be forced by Master to practice now, hehe."

"Your action, let me tell you, your action is still not standard."

"yes, yes, yes, you've got to crouch down a bit."

He crossed Erlang's legs, looked around, and then took out a cigarette and lit it.

I think this person is a bit of a natural anti-bone, and he dares to smoke here after being caught more than a hundred times.

"Senior brother, will you die if you don't smoke?"

"Yes."

He said righteously: "Let men quit smoking, what a ridiculous thing, it's impossible not to smoke, let me tell you that in this life, how long you can live is predestined, I have to live until that time whether I smoke or not, why don't I smoke?" Think about it, think about it. ”

At this time, Uncle Jingming was walking towards this side.

I smiled and said, "Then aren't you afraid that your uncle will catch you smoking?" ”

"Don't be afraid, what's there to be afraid of."

Zhang Rong took a cigarette in his mouth and became fearless: "Let me tell you that this bad old man is getting worse day by day, and he has inflicted all the destruction that his master has inflicted on me!" ”..

"Since he was a child, I have taught him not to be so impatient, or not to listen! In the future, when you come to this society, you will inevitably suffer a loss, let me tell you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a large hand grabbed him by the neck without warning.

Zhang Rong, who was fearless just now, was suddenly so frightened that his hair stood on end.

He looked back and was stunned.

"Master, I'm ...... I was talking about other people......"

"Let's go, go back to the house and talk, don't you want to educate me, go back to the house and I'll let you educate."

Uncle Jingming didn't care whether he was injured or not, and dragged him away on the spot.

"Master, I still have to supervise my junior brother's practice, so let's not delay his progress...... Master, I'm still hurt...... Help ......"

In the next half month.

I practiced as usual every day, and Zhang Rong sat in front of me and smoked as usual.

About half a month later, my master called me and Zhang Rong to the deacon's room at the same time, saying that there was something to be done for us.

This incident was passed on by a feng shui gentleman, saying that an old man in the township died of illness two days ago, and then his children handled the aftermath for him normally, and as a result, on the first night of the wake, it seemed that something strange happened.

Due to the different customs and habits of each region, the custom here is that when a person dies, he first puts it in a coffin, then covers his face with a white cloth, does not cover the coffin, and then covers the coffin when he is at the funeral.

As for why a white cloth is put on the face of the deceased, one is to prevent some germs, and the other is to take into account the emotions of the family members and let the deceased walk decently.

One of the most important reasons is to prevent the deceased from actually dying, which is 'fake death'.

This kind of fake death is a medical fake death, and there is no real loss of vital signs, although this probability is low, but it is not uncommon.

If it is a suspended animation, when the deceased regains his breathing, the white cloth on his face will rise and fall, which will attract the attention of the family and prevent some tragedies from happening, such as the person who faked his death came back to life, but has been pushed into the crematorium or has been buried, which has not happened before.

And the old man who passed away because of the white cloth on his face, inexplicably floated to the side, revealing his face, so he attracted the attention of his family.

When the family found out at that time, it was the morning of the next day, and the family must have been frightened.

It was a hot summer now, and there was no wind in the past two days, and even if it was windy, there was such a deep space in the coffin that it would not blow the white cloth off the old man's face.

Since there was no wind and no one had touched it, how could this white cloth float aside?

The family suspected that the old man had fallen into a state of suspended animation, so they asked the doctor to come over and give the old man a physical examination.

After the doctor's examination, he told the family that the old man's body had formed corpse spots and could not be brought back to life.

With the doctor's authoritative judgment, the family didn't take it seriously, thinking that it might have been blown by the wind.

But by the morning of the third day, things were getting a little weird.

The white cloth on the old man's face was blown away by the wind again, not only that, but the family also found that some of the food in the kitchen was missing, and two of the neighbor's chickens were also bitten to death.

As soon as this happened, the family members and neighbors were all panicked, and some old people nearby said that the old man might have cheated the corpse, got up in the middle of the night to eat something in the kitchen, and then bit the neighbor's chicken to death.

This is a supernatural event, even if it is their relatives who died, the family is still afraid, so they invite Mr. Yin and Yang to come and see.

After this Mr. Yin and Yang came, he first touched the old man's stomach, and found that the old man's stomach was bulging and swollen, and then opened his mouth to see that there were still some residues and blood stains in his mouth.

Mr. Yin and Yang naturally understood that this old man was really cheating the corpse.

But this Mr. Yin and Yang is only doing things for the dead, he is not the real Mr. Yin and Yang, he doesn't understand many things, and he doesn't dare to take the job indiscriminately, so he told his colleagues in the city, ready to help his family contact someone who really has the ability to deal with it.

So his colleague contacted Qingyangguan, and his master called me and Zhang Rong.

"Recently, the other senior brothers have been busy with their own business outside."

The master said: "Your master and uncle can't get out, so I can only let the two of you go to help the family deal with it." ”

It's no problem, I've been bored in the Taoist temple for a while, and I always want to go out.

But I thought it was a little strange, so I asked my master: "Isn't there someone who keeps a vigil at night, and isn't someone doing something, if the old man cheats the corpse, why doesn't anyone see it?" ”

Shigong shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, after you arrive, let's see, the corpse is not very easy to deal with, so you should also be careful and don't be careless." ”
