Chapter 338: The Coffin Bearer

"It's gone, but now we have a problem to solve. โ€

After a while, Ye Qing wiped the rainwater on his face.

"What's the problem?" Chu Nianjiu took out a pot of wine from Shanhebei and took a sip.

"That's it...... Where is this?" Ye Qing snatched the wine from Chu Nianjiu's hand, and also took a sip, the wine entered his throat, and a warm current swayed in his intestines, dispelling the cold of the night.

"Yes, where did this turtle-foot house take us?" the little Taoist priest was shocked.

Ye Qing pouted and said, "Generally speaking, there is no specific goal for Operation Turtlefoot House, but the places where it stays are mostly near towns and villages. โ€

"But we got out of the Turtlefoot House halfway through, so I don't know where this is?"

"Brother, why didn't you say it just now?" Chu Nianjiu looked at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing said innocently: "I just remembered it." โ€

"Then is it too late for us to catch up now?" said the little Taoist priest hurriedly.

"Yes, as long as you catch up. Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Uh...... Then forget it!" the little Taoist priest lowered his head in shame, the turtle foot house traveled thousands of miles at night, and he couldn't catch up with that speed.

"It's about three o'clock now, and there are still about two hours before dawn, if you say Wuhuan, the Kamezu House stops and travels at night during the day, and will stay near towns and villages, so we only need to follow the direction of the Kamezu House, and walk for more than two hours, we should be able to reach a certain town and village, and we will know the location at that time. Lin Yuhuai said.

"Clever!" Chu Nianjiu snapped his fingers, walked to Lin Yuhuai's side, hugged his shoulders and said, "I'll just say, Yuhuai, you are reliable." โ€

"It's much more reliable than Wuhuan. โ€

Ye Qing was speechless: "What does this have to do with me?"

Chu Nianjiu said as a matter of course: "If we hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night and yelled and made a fool of ourselves in other people's bodies, would we have been vomited? Will it be in the wind and rain here? Maybe we can still take a ride and reach Tianyong as soon as we wake up the next day?"

"Or is it my fault?" Ye Qing touched his nose.

"Just recognize your mistakes. Chu Nianjiu patted Ye Qing's shoulder, looking very pleased: "Okay, let's go!"

With that, he walked forward.

"Okay, you're thick-skinned, you have the final say. Ye Qing spread his hands to Lin Yuhuai and the little Taoist, followed behind Chu Nianjiu, and walked in the direction where the Turtle Foot House left.

Although it was night, and it was raining heavily, the four of them were all in the Divine Realm, which had little impact on them, plus Lin Yuhuai's galloping horse talisman, so the speed of the four of them was not slow, and they walked a few miles away in just half an hour.

"What's that down there?"

Suddenly, Lin Yuhuai, who was walking in the front, stopped, and his voice was solemn.

The three of them were on a small hill at this time, Ye Qing looked over, and saw that at the foot of the mountain, there were four people carrying a coffin, walking silently in the heavy rain.

The four men were dressed in black robes, wore a Yaksha mask on their faces, and carried a coffin.

And in front of the coffin stood a mighty rooster, flapping its wings and croaking.

Behind the coffin lay a black cat, the black cat's fur was smooth, and its eyes flashed with a strange blue light at night, which looked a little oozing.

The coffin seemed to be not light, and the ground was rugged, but the four people carried the coffin as if they were walking on the ground.

The mountains, the middle of the night, the heavy rain, the coffin, everything seems so weird and gloomy.

"Is it a human or a weird?" said the little Taoist priest, purple thunder flashing in his sleeve.

"Don't do it yet, it's human. โ€

Ye Qing stopped the little Taoist priest.

"It's people, and those four are coffin bearers. Chu Nianjiu said: "Black cats, roosters, robes, masks, that is the standard and characteristic of the coffin bearer." โ€

"Coffin bearer?" Ye Qing was a little curious.

Chu Nianjiu said: "The coffin bearer is a very special profession, similar to the corpse bearer, the corpse chaser, the coffin lifter, etc., mainly to transport the corpse of the dead in a foreign land back to the hometown and the homeland for burial. โ€

"The coffin bearer is a very mysterious profession, because of the perennial work with corpses, often encounter evil and sneaky things, so it has its own unique skills and heritage, I have dealt with the coffin bearer by chance, so I know some of their rules and taboos. โ€

"First of all, the coffin bearer is not a person who can be a person, he must be born at three o'clock in the afternoon, the so-called noon three o'clock, the yang energy is the most vigorous, such a person has a hard life, is not afraid of evil spirits, and has no taboos; secondly, the coffin bearer has many taboos, such as must wear a yaksha mask, the yaksha is a ghost, and has the ability to deter evil spirits; must wear a black robe, the name of the black robe is a hundred taboo robes, which means carrying the coffin at night, there are no taboos; the rooster on the coffin is called the road chicken, and the road chicken must be the most powerful and majestic rooster, which crows once every line of 100 steps, and the road (chicken) rooster cries to deter and treacherousThe black cat at the tail of the coffin is called the Fortune Cat, the cat is a very strange animal, can see ghosts, and the Fortune Cat is a cat specially raised by the coffin bearer, once the cat on the coffin blows up, screams, and escapes, it means that it has encountered danger or strangeness; the coffin bearer generally walks at night and rests during the day, so as not to scare others; when the coffin bearer carries the coffin, it is best not to disturb others suddenly, otherwise bad things will happen; and so on. โ€

"There are so many doorways. Ye Qing listened to it with relish and gained a long insight.

Chu Nianjiu looked at the coffin bearer who was drifting away, and continued: " Generally speaking, if it is to carry an ordinary corpse, the coffin bearer only needs to wear a hundred taboo robes and a yaksha mask, but the following coffin bearer is not only wearing a hundred taboo robes, but also wearing a yaksha mask, and the coffin is a golden silk nan wooden coffin, the golden silk nan wooden coffin has the effect of suppressing evil spirits, the wooden bar used to carry the coffin is a hundred-year-old peach wood bar, the rope is a dog rope soaked in black dog blood, tie a seven-star knot, nail the corpse nail at the four corners, stand on the road chicken in front of the coffin, and lie on the back of the cat, which is the highest specification of the coffin, the name of the corpse king, which means that there may be extremely fierce things in the coffin belowใ€‚ โ€

"Really?" the little Taoist priest doubted.

Chu Nianjiu took a sip of wine, and his tone was a little low: "The corpse carrying king is very dangerous, it can be described as nine deaths, I have a few coffin carrying friends, in the process of carrying the corpse king, all died inexplicably, and the bones are gone." โ€

"Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I don't know. The little Taoist priest hurriedly apologized.

Chu Nianjiu smiled: "It's okay, it's been a long time." โ€

"Alright, the coffin bearer has passed, let's go too. โ€

After going down the mountain, Chu Nianjiu looked at the footprints left by the coffin bearer on the ground, and said: "We can extend the route they have taken, and the road that the coffin bearer has walked is generally safer, and rarely encounters evil and strange things." โ€

"Meow ......"

"Meow ......"

"Meow ......"

The four of them rode paper horses, and not long after walking, suddenly a terrible cat meow was heard in the dark night.

The cat's meow was terrible and rapid, as if it had encountered something extremely terrible.

"Oh no, something happened!"

Chu Nianjiu's face changed, and he followed the voice without thinking about it.

Ye Qing and the three of them did not hesitate, and hurriedly followed.

After more than ten breaths, Ye Qing and the others saw the four coffin bearers, only to see that the four of them were standing in place at this time, their eyes were dull, and the rope on the coffin had been broken

, fell to the ground, the black cat and the rooster were long gone.

What's even more strange is that there are countless lonely souls and wild ghosts floating around the coffin, and those lonely souls and wild ghosts are kneeling on the ground, bowing to the coffin in the middle.

The movements of all the lonely ghosts are uniform, together, one knock, full of rhythm, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.

"The hundred ghosts kowtowed, and the things inside the coffin were really weird. โ€

Ye Qing's expression was solemn, although those lonely souls and wild ghosts were not very strong and did not form a climate, but the number was huge, strange and infiltrating.

"There are so many locust trees...... It seems to be a gathering place, no wonder there are so many lonely ghosts here. Lin Yuhuai looked around and said slowly.

Huai people, wood ghosts also, folk call it yin wood, ghost wood, often provoke lonely souls and wild ghosts, and there are many locust trees here in front of you, the earth is damp and cold, and the yin qi is pervasive, it is a typical yin gathering place, so there will be so many lonely souls and wild ghosts gathered here.

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

"Bang ......"

As the hundred ghosts knelt down, the coffin suddenly shook, as if the things in the coffin wanted to break free from the shackles of the coffin, and under the kneeling of the hundred ghosts, the coffin shook more and more.

"It's not good, you can't let the contents of the coffin come out. โ€

Seeing this, Chu Nianjiu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said.

"Kill those lonely ghosts first. โ€

Ye Qing handed out a punch, and the foehn wind blew, and countless lonely souls and wild ghosts turned into ashes, but the foehn skillfully bypassed the four coffin bearers.

Chu Nianjiu, Lin Yuhuai and the little Taoist priest were not idle, and they all started one after another.

Although there are many of these lonely souls and wild ghosts, they are not very strong, at best, they are powerful monsters, and they quickly disperse under the attack of the four people.

After killing those lonely souls and wild ghosts, Lin Yuhuai suddenly approached the coffin, and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand and pasted it on the coffin.

"Snort"

The coffin was eerily silent at first, but then it sneered and burned, and the coffin shook violently.

Ye Qing frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed on the coffin, the shaking coffin was pressed into the ground for several inches, and the shaking amplitude became smaller and smaller.

But Ye Qing, who was pressing the coffin, was not easy, with his strength, he almost couldn't press the coffin board, and on his right hand that pressed the coffin, layers of frost appeared, and an extremely cold aura was raging in his body.

"Save the coffin bearer first, they have a way. Seeing this, Chu Nianjiu hurriedly said

Chu Nianjiu raised his hand and popped out, and a drop of water fell on the eyebrows of the two coffin bearers closest to him, and the water droplets seeped into the eyebrows of the two, and a ghost shadow floated out of the two people's bodies.

"Sure enough, it's a ghost, hum ......"

After forcing out the ghosts on the two of them, Chu Nianjiu stretched out his hand to hold it, and the two ghosts dissipated silently.

Lin Yuhuai raised his sleeves and punched out two yellow talismans, pasted them on the eyebrows of the other two coffin bearers, the yellow talismans burned, and two ghosts also floated out, but they were shattered by the two thunderbolts that followed.

The four coffin-bearers, who had regained their senses, did not hesitate to thank them, and hurriedly took out a dark yellow and rusty nail from their bosoms, and the four of them stood at the four corners while nailing the nail to the coffin.

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

The four of them held a mallet in one hand, held a nail in the other, raised their hands at the same time, and fell at the same time, their movements were uniform, As the nails were nailed into the coffin inch by inch, a sinister aura seeped out from the coffin, and a thick layer of frost appeared on the ground, and the grass and trees withered.

But at the same time, the coffin shook less and less, and when the four nails were submerged in the coffin at the same time, the coffin also stopped shaking.
