Chen Erzhuang's shop is in the most remote alley in the village, the alley is deserted, no one has walked for half a day, only a few withered yellow fallen leaves are fluttering, falling to the ground and jumping on the ground.

The stone road on the ground is polished very smooth, and it looks like it has been some years, and the cracks in the stone are still covered with grass, and there is grass growing on one road, indicating that few people have set foot here.

There was a sense of silence throughout the alley.

People who often deal with the dead usually avoid them, after all, the villagers feel that the dead have bad luck and don't want to be contaminated, and they won't go to other people's coffin shops if they have nothing to do.

But Chen Erzhuang is the only one in the nearby small villages that does white business, and whoever is a 100-year-old person ascends to heaven or someone in his family dies unexpectedly, will go to Chen Erzhuang.

If he finds Lao Xutou, Chen Erzhuang rarely talks to people, stays in his shop all day, and sometimes doesn't see him for a few days.

Mu Yu stood at the door of Chen Erzhuang's store, and his store didn't even have a signboard. You don't need a signboard to think about it, everyone already knows what business he does, and besides, there is only one store in this alley, so it's not difficult to find.

There is a mighty statue of Zhong Kui at the door of Chen Erzhuang's store, which is made of paper, and the old Xu Tou also specially praised his craftsmanship in making paper people, and the paper people are vivid and very realistic.

This Zhong Kui was very tall, about five meters long, and his tiger eyes were wide open, glaring at outsiders, as if he could avoid all the evil things. A peachwood sword in his hand is extremely sharp, and he has no mercy on the villains in the world.

The paint on the wooden door had peeled off and looked like it was very old and worn.

Mu Yu walked in, the light in the store was very dark, it was obviously daylight, but I always felt that the sun couldn't shine in, there was a faint musty smell in the store, and it was mixed with the smell of incense and candle tributes, no one would like this place.

Next to it was a wooden shelf with bundles of paper money stacked on top, and on top were all kinds of incense, several of which were even thicker than a thumb. On another shelf were white candles and stacks of yellow rune paper, some of which were for.

Behind the shelves lay four or five coffins, the lids of which were ajar, and the smell of wood was strong, as if they had just been cut. Many people may not like the smell of wood, but Kiha likes the smell of wood.

Some of these coffins are made of fir wood, and some are of nanmu. There were a few beds next to the coffin, and there were actually a few people lying on them!

"Don't be dead, right?"

I don't know why, it's clear that I'm a cultivator in the distraction period, and if my spiritual power is shocked, no dead person can hurt me, but Mu Yu still feels a little creepy when he sees this situation.

Normally, he would not be afraid to see a dead person, but when he saw a dead person in such a strange place, he always felt a pimple in his heart, and he thought that he would walk over by himself, and the dead man suddenly sat up, and that feeling was unforgettable.

However, Mu Yu soon discovered that it was not a dead man, but a man made of wood, because he felt the scent of camphor wood. The wooden men were dressed in a very new and gorgeous blue garment, and he suddenly understood what it was.

Shroud.

I have to say that these wooden people are quite realistic, tall, fat, short and thin, and the body shape is similar to that of people, even the eyes, eyebrows, and hair, and even the colors are lifelike, if it weren't for the eyes not being colored, Mu Yu could even treat it as a real person.

The wooden man wears a shroud, probably to show it to others. It's just that this kind of scene is too weird, and Mu Yu is sure that he doesn't like it here.

"Tell me the details of the deceased. ”

At this moment, a low and hoarse voice suddenly appeared behind Mu Yu, Mu Yu hit a spirit, he was a cultivator in the distraction period, and he didn't even notice that someone was behind him!

Mu Yu turned around and looked at the person in front of him with a frown. When he entered the store just now, he didn't even feel that there was a living person in the store, this guy seemed to appear out of thin air, which surprised him.

"Your name is Chen Erzhuang, right? ”

Mu Yu looked at Chen Erzhuang, there was vitality flowing in his body, I don't know if it was because of dealing with dead people all year round, the vitality didn't seem to be very strong, but it was certain that he was a living person, and Mu Yu didn't feel the fluctuation of spiritual power from him.

"Let's talk about the deceased's situation in detail, and whether it is to be buried in the earth or in the sky?" Chen Erzhuang's face was blocked by shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Sky burial, that is, burial in the valley of mass burial, is a name for the nearby village.

"Do you still dare to do a sky burial after that incident?" asked Mu Yu curiously.

Old man Zhao's deception of the corpse frightened the simple villagers, and the nearby villages did not dare to carry their deceased relatives to the mass grave valley again.

Although they have a concept that the mass burial valley is a crack leading to the next life, since the corpse fraud incident, everyone is worried that they will also be brought in, so they would rather bury their relatives and let them find their own way to the underworld.

"It's only you who choose whether to do it or not, not whether I dare to do it. ”

Chen Erzhuang's voice was very calm, so calm that it made people feel unbelievable, as if the old man Zhao's corpse fraud incident did not leave a shadow in his heart.

Mu Yu raised his head and glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes were stunned, he actually saw a coffin hanging in the air under the dark beam of the store!

Although this coffin was made of wood, Mu Yu did not feel the smell of wood from it.

He could have controlled anything made of wood out of thin air, causing it to take root or forcibly change its form. But he couldn't control the coffin on the beams, which made him feel weird.

The weirdest thing is, why hang the coffin on the beam of the store?

"That coffin is kind of interesting. ”

Mu Yu pointed to the coffin under the beam, and his divine sense probed out, all of which disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea, without any life fluctuations or any special breath, as if it was an empty coffin.

"You're not here to do business, you don't smell of death, but you smell of death. After Chen Erzhuang finished speaking, he turned around slowly and walked towards the back of the store.

"The smell of the dead, the smell of death?" Mu Yu was slightly stunned in his heart, he had the death qi of the Stygian Grass on his body, which was the purest death qi in the world, which could be detected by Chen Erzhuang?

I'm afraid this Chen Erzhuang is not a mortal, right?

"Wait, I have something to ask you. Mu Yu flashed and stopped in front of Chen Erzhuang.

Chen Erzhuang saw Mu Yu suddenly appear in front of him, but he was not surprised, and he didn't even move.

"You are a cultivator. Chen Erzhuang said.

"Yes, I came to you to investigate the resurrection of Old Lady Zhao from the dead. ”

Mu Yu found that he couldn't see through Chen Erzhuang, the other party had no spiritual power fluctuations at all, and he was undoubtedly a mortal. However, mortals would generally call cultivators immortal masters in awe, and they would also behave in fear, but Chen Erzhuang did not do so.

"Old lady Zhao's descendants are not filial, so I took them all away, that's it. Chen Erzhuang said simply.

Mu Yu suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on Chen Erzhuang's body, and the spiritual power on his body instantly surged in, frowning: "Why don't you have a curse on you?"

Chen Erzhuang was still motionless when Mu Yu stretched out his hand, and he didn't worry about what Mu Yu did to him at all: "I have been in contact with dead people all year round, so naturally I will not be cursed by dead people." ”

Mu Yu withdrew his hand, Chen Erzhuang was undoubtedly a living person, and Mu Yu's spiritual power could not be input into the other party's body, indicating that the other party was not a cultivator.

This is very strange, Chen Erzhuang's calm performance seems very abnormal, it is impossible for a mortal to be so calm and calm when facing a cultivator, but Chen Erzhuang didn't even breathe.

"You're not here to trade, so please come back! Chen Erzhuang didn't look at Mu Yu, but bypassed Mu Yu and continued to walk towards the back of the store.

Mu Yu looked at Chen Erzhuang's back, and then glanced at the coffin that was hanging on the beam, but this time he didn't say anything, but directly chose to leave this gloomy place.

——

"Xiaoshuai, did you notice anything wrong just now?" Mu Yu didn't go too far, but stopped under a tree outside the village.

Xiao Shuai flicked his tail and said, "It's weird everywhere, okay! How can a living person live in such a gloomy place?"

Mu Yu didn't find anything abnormal about Chen Erzhuang, if he had to say it, it was that Chen Erzhuang hadn't been used with an insidious formation like other villagers, and he still seemed so casual when facing him, which was obviously unreasonable.

"Why didn't you use the Divine Soul Wood to directly control him just now, and ask him what secrets he was hiding?" Long Teng's suggestion was very simple and crude.

"Divine soul wood hurts people a lot, do you have any common sense, big earthworm!" Xiao Shuai said.

Divine Soul Wood was originally used to invade the nerves of the prey, so as to control the prey. If it is applied to people at will, it will naturally be harmful, especially for mortals who have not cultivated. Mu Yu hadn't figured out Chen Erzhuang's situation yet, so he didn't want to attack him.

Mu Yu shook his head: "I don't think it's that simple, although the hanging coffin looks like nothing, it's really wrong, who still hangs the coffin on the beams of the house?" And since I walked into Chen Erzhuang's shop, I felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes watching me secretly, this feeling did not come from Chen Erzhuang, but from a corner in the shadows. If someone behind is manipulating Chen Erzhuang, just in case, I still can't startle the snake. ”

If that feeling of being watched is absent, Mu Yu can't find the source of that feeling with the cultivation of the distraction period, so it is very likely that the cultivation of the mysterious guy behind it is not weaker than Mu Yu.

"Did you say there was a dead person lying in that coffin?" asked Xiao Shuai curiously.

"Why don't you go and see it alone at night?" said Tatsuto.

Xiao Shuai waved his hand: "Don't, I don't like gloomy places." Why can't we bask in the sun and eat barbecue, instead of dealing with the dead?"

Mu Yu also didn't like Chen Erzhuang's shop, but what made him care more was that he felt that there was a lot of wood in Chen Erzhuang's backyard, which was freshly cut, but it was not the material for making coffins, but it was the same as the wooden people wearing shrouds in the store, all of which were camphor wood.

I have never heard of using camphor wood to make coffins, but there are wooden people in Chen Erzhuang's shop, if all these camphor wood are used to make wooden people, then why does Chen Erzhuang make so many wooden people?

There are paper-binding people who use them as servants in the underworld to accompany the funeral, but I have never heard of a wood-carving person to accompany the burial.

"There must be something wrong with Chen Erzhuang! Let's see if we can find the mysterious guy that Old Xu Tou said from him. Mu Yu fell into deep thought.
