Chapter 1 The Funeral Master

Next Chapter

The Buddha said, "Ten billion Sumeru Mountain, ten billion sun and moon, called three thousand worlds." ”

A philosopher once said, "There is no limit or guarantee forever, whatever can be holy, holy can also fall into the mortal, between thoughts, the self rises and falls at any time." ”

Every late at night, you in my dreams are still the same as before, tracing the traces you have left, but I can't hold on to a piece of your clothes. Spring goes to winter, and the scorching pain is also smoothed out in the ravine. In the afterglow of the sunset, I looked at the distant mountains stupidly, and every silhouette seemed to be you beckoning to return.

I put my hands together and prayed sincerely, if you return, I will allow you three thousand worlds, see all the flowers bloom and fall, and I only ask you to show your red face.

......

In a certain world, heaven and earth are divided into three realms: the heavenly realm, the mortal realm, and the netherworld.

At the beginning of the Three Realms, the boundaries between the four races of immortals, demons, humans, and demons were blurred, and disputes often occurred. The two races of immortals and demons are stronger than the other two races, so the two races often have disputes. In order to compete for the first level, the Heavenly Realm, the Immortal Clan drew the human and demon races together to fight against the Demon Race, and promised to hand over the second layer under the Heavenly Realm, the mortal realm, to the two races. In the end, under the united front line of immortals, humans, and demons, the demons retreated one after another, until they retreated to the third layer at the bottom, the netherworld, and the demons surrendered.

At that time, the four clans signed an agreement: the immortal clan occupies the heavenly realm, the human and demon clans occupy the mortal realm, which is called the human realm, and the two clans reproduce and do not interfere with each other, and the demon clan occupies the netherworld, which is called the demon realm, and they are not allowed to set foot in the other two realms without permission.

The stability of the Three Realms took a few years, until the "Immortal and Demon Dispute" occurred, and the demons took the opportunity to cause chaos, causing the Three Realms to fight again. In order to save the world, in the end, the Brahma Temple came forward to preside over the "sacrifice to the sky" ceremony, and re-signed the agreement, all the immortals returned to the heavenly realm, the demon clan obeyed the orders of the sky, and managed the stability of the human world, but it was not allowed to interfere with the human race, and the passage from the demon world to the other two worlds was all sealed.

Then the Three Realms were stable.

......

in a different time and space.

City Funeral Parlor.

A full-body* male corpse lay silently on a single bed. The male corpse had a pale face, thin lips tightly closed, delicate eyebrows and eyes as if asleep, there was no blood on the whole body, and the dull complexion was like frozen meat stored in the refrigerator for a long time, lifeless. A white cloth barely covered his lower body.

Syllable!

The woman wearing the mask skillfully brought disposable plastic gloves and quickly opened several toolboxes, which were full of various makeup tools. The woman leaned over and looked at the male corpse carefully.

"It's a pity. ”

Ji Yao turned around and said behind him. After finishing speaking, a thin figure gradually appeared in the shadow in the corner of the wall behind him.

"What do you like?" said to herself, Ji Yao looked at the few photos in her hand. The photos are all the same boys without exception, young, sunny, energetic, smiling, laughing, naughty, serious, these photos are provided by the family.

The shadows in the corner were no longer blurry, they became clearer and clearer, and he came to Ji Yao's side lightly, looking at the photo in her hand.

"Whatever you want. A hollow voice rang out in the room, without the slightest emotion.

Ji Yao turned her head to look at the translucent figure beside her, her delicate face was exactly the same as a male corpse, yes, it was not a person around her, it was a ghost.

It's not the first time Ji Yao has seen a ghost, since she can remember, meeting these ethereal things is as natural as eating and sleeping.

She was an orphan herself, and she was thrown at the door of the orphanage not long after she was born, and it was not until she was more than two years old that she was adopted by her adoptive parents and left the orphanage. The impression of the orphanage has long since disappeared, and her adoptive parents will not have children, and they treat her as their own.

If she grows up like this, then Ji Yao will have nothing to regret. The problem didn't become apparent until she could speak. The kitten in the stairwell of the unit building never eats the small fish she takes, but only smells it; the old Eminem on the community bench wears the old-fashioned little blue jacket regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and she tells Ji Yao that her wife made it for her with her own hands; the little brother in the sand in the fitness area of the park is only seen by her and only plays with her; Uncle Zhang in the same community told his adoptive father that the car has been slipping recently, but she sees a pair of miserable white hands under the wheels holding the wheels deadly...... Many, much, much.

The first time, she told her adoptive mother, who was a devout Buddhist, and she said that those were poor people who still had the obsession to go home without fulfilling their wishes. The adoptive mother asked Ji Yao to promise that she would never tell a second person other than her, not even her adoptive father. At that time, I didn't know what it meant to be afraid, but as I got older, I slowly understood that I was different, and only she could see it, and at the same time, she also knew that there was such a group of beings that others couldn't see, called "ghosts". Accustomed to nature, although she is still occasionally frightened, she will not panic.

Now, she is an excellent funeral decorator, a body plastic surgeon. Its own conditions have brought a lot of convenience to this work, and of course there are troubles, especially those who encounter troubles, such as the current one.

After a long time, putting down the tools in her hand, the enchantress turned around, and the eyes on the mask were bent into crescents.

"How's that, do you like it?" she was confident. The translucent figure nodded.

Ji Yao sorted out her tools, she had been busy for so long, she should have gotten off work a long time ago.

Funeral home parking.

Ji Yao opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, ignoring the man in the back seat of the car. The car drove as fast as it could, without speeding, and she hurried home to take a shower.

Because at night, Ah Qing, a close friend, asked her to go to the bar to play. Ji Yao doesn't have many friends, her best friend is playing from childhood to adulthood, the same elementary school, the same junior high school, the same high school, and finally the same university (although there are different classes), how many people can have such a fate. Because of her introverted personality and a pair of yin and yang eyes, she is already withdrawn and does not make many friends, she thinks that there are not many friends but love.

The turning point in Ji Yao's life was when she graduated from college, her adoptive parents went on a trip, but three days later, she suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and found her adoptive parents standing quietly in front of the bed. No matter how much you don't believe it, you can't help it. The adoptive parents were in a car accident and both left after the rescue failed. In those days, Aqing was by her side and accompanied her through the most difficult moments. The soul of the adoptive parents has been with Ji Yao for a long time, but because Ji Yao's thoughts are too deep, the adoptive parents can't leave. It was only when they finally figured it out that the adoptive parents left with a smile.

Back home, Ji Yao rushed into the bathroom.

"Ahh Under the unkempt head of the bathroom, there was a man standing, a ghost, a male ghost, to be exact. It's none other than the one in the back seat of the car just now, and the male corpse she put on makeup today, remember his name, Qiao Hao.

"Qiao Hao, you, give, I, out, go!" Ji Yao was in a hurry. Qiao Hao pursed his lips and floated out through the bathroom glass.

"When I'm in the shower, you dare to stick your head in and try it, don't think I'll help you!"

Only when Ji Yao faces these ghosts does her temperament become a little more extroverted. She often mocked herself, and when she saw that people didn't dare to speak, she became more and more bold.

Closing the door, Ji Yao stood under the unkempt head and let the water rush.

In his mind, he was thinking about Qiao Hao. Qiao Hao was a warm and sunny college student before his death, upright and in the mood for love, but he died in an alley for no apparent reason. But having said that, Qiao Hao did die strangely. There were no wounds all over the body, and the autopsy report was a myocardial infarction that led to sudden death, to put it bluntly, a heart attack. But the problem is, he doesn't have a heart condition at all.

According to Qiao Hao, he made an appointment with his friends to go to the movies that night, but because he went early, his friends didn't arrive yet, so he wandered around the movie theater alone. Suddenly, I heard someone shouting his name, coming from a small alley, because outside the alley is a pedestrian street, there are many people, Qiao Hao didn't think much about it at that time and walked directly into the alley, but this walk was completely unable to come back.

Walking into the alley, I looked around, but there was no one in sight. Qiao Hao shouted a few times, but no one answered. He thought that he had heard it wrong, and turned around to leave, but before he could turn around, he fainted directly, and seemed to see a white shadow before falling to the ground. When I woke up, I realized that I was dead.

Ethereal watched his body being sent to the funeral home, and then met Ji Yao, and met Ji Yao several times, only to realize that this woman seemed to be able to see herself, so she entangled Ji Yao and wanted her to help find the murderer. Otherwise, he would not be able to turn a blind eye, he would not be able to explain to Hades, and he would not be able to reincarnate.

Coming out of the bathroom, Ji Yao wrapped herself in a bath towel and blew her hair. In the mirror, a face flushed from the shower was reflected. made a few grimaces in the mirror and twisted his hips, not good-looking, but not ugly, but the blind date came more than a dozen times, and it ended in failure.

Because of her work, Ji Yao can find the only answer. But the job will not be changed, since those people don't look down on it, there are people who they like.

Changing into a pale blue dress, she spun in front of the mirror.

"It's pretty good. Qiao Hao's empty voice came. Ji Yao's face was slightly red, well, male ghosts are also men, and it is rare to be praised by men. Before Xie could say the word, the empty voice came again.

"It's just a little thinner, a little flatter. ”

Ji Yao turned her head sharply and glared at the sofa, and the ghost went to the sofa empty.

After a little makeup, Ji Yao hurried downstairs and drove to the bar.
