Suddenly there was an extra person here. The old beggar knew it, and so did I, but we didn't know exactly where he was lurking. At this time, the bronze coin suddenly reacted, and it should be related to the bronze coin.
The old beggar seemed to suddenly understand something. He bowed to me and said, "I'm retiring. I will handle the things you asked me to do properly."
After saying that, the door slammed shut with a bang. As soon as the old beggar left, suddenly a shadow scurried down the wall. It was very strange. Then it turned into a human, fell down, and appeared in front of me.
This is a man in his thirties, wearing a bamboo hat, black clothes and black trousers, with a Chinese face and a height of about 1.8 meters. The reason why he did not show up was because there were other people around. This old beggar also
It was a good idea and I left directly.
"Who are you?" I frowned and looked at this man. What he used just now should be a kind of shadow magic, which existed in ancient times. It was used to assassinate emperors and the like. It was an ancient magic invented by killers.
It is silent and difficult to detect when sneaking in. Some people say it is a kind of ghost technique.
The man did not answer my question, but asked first: "Do you have any copper coins?"
I took out Wang Xue's copper coin as if I was familiar with it, because it was the only one that reacted, so it must be right.
After seeing the copper coins, the man nodded and then announced his home.
"Coffin opener, Song Xing." The man replied.
Coffin opener? I've heard of this profession. It's a profession that opens coffins for others. You can't open the coffin casually after it is placed in the tomb, otherwise you will suffer bad luck. Even a little bit of yin or bad luck can make you seriously ill, and
If the deceased is a big one, it would be considered unfilial to open the coffins of relatives or ancestors. At this time, a coffin opener is needed to do the job.
Another situation is that the coffin has changed, forming a ghost coffin or evil coffin, and the corpse inside may have become a corpse. At this time, ordinary people are seeking death by opening the coffin, and it can only be operated by a coffin opener.
However, the job of a coffin opener is too dark. I heard that my descendants are withering away, and there are only a few people under my sect, so it is almost difficult to see him.
"What do you want to give me?" I asked subconsciously, because it had always been like this before.
Song Xing shook his head: "The old man asked me to take you to dig his coffin tonight."
I:"……"
This copper coin belongs to Wang Xue. Based on my previous experience, it should be more or less filial, but I never thought that grandpa asked me to dig up his coffin. Isn't this too filial?
I couldn't believe it, so I asked three times quickly, but Song Xing nodded firmly three times, saying that it was correct, and that was what my grandfather ordered. My grandfather was kind to their family of coffin-openers, so I didn't dare to leave any words behind them.
forget.
I was a little confused about this. I was so anxious that I scratched my head and dug up Grandpa's coffin. This was a great act of unfilial piety! The deceased is the most important person. Grandpa has been dead for so long. How could I bother him? Opening a coffin is such a big deal for a dead person.
It's considered "breaking the muscles and bones". Even if I die, I can't do such a thing!
"When are you going, now?" I asked with great anticipation.
Song Xing: "..."
"As expected of the old man's good son and grandson, I admire him in my heart."
Song Xing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he quickly started to set off and went with me to his grandfather's tomb.
I kept laughing along the way. What did grandpa mean by asking me to dig up his coffin?
After arriving at the place, I took out the prepared paper money and burned it for my grandfather, then put three sticks of incense on it, and finally kowtowed to him a few times.
I rarely come to this tomb. When I was underage, my second uncle almost refused to come. After I became an adult, I came once to pay my respects during the Qingming Festival. The second uncle didn’t tell me the specific reason, and I didn’t dare to ask. I know his temperament well.
If you ask about things you don't want to talk about, you will only get a stick on your butt.
But it's strange that Song Xing has been standing next to me. He closed his eyes tightly and stood with his arms folded across his chest. He didn't speak or open the coffin. He looked like a wooden man.
I glanced at him and said, brother, are you kidding me? Is it time to dig the grave and open the coffin? What do you mean by standing silently?
Song Xing didn't react at all to my words, as if he couldn't hear me. I was very surprised. Could this guy be asleep?
I approached him and wanted to shout to wake him up, but after looking at his face and eyebrows, I immediately felt something was wrong. This guy seemed to be out of his mind.
I don't know how he did it, but if the soul is gone, if I scare him at this time, the soul will definitely scare away and become a lost person, that is, a fool or a madman, so I immediately stopped my behavior.
The phenomenon of soul loss is not unheard of. Children often lose their souls when they are frightened when they were young, so they have to call their souls back. Otherwise, when they grow up, the children will be a little dull and silly. There are many ways to call their souls, but they are all
He calls his name by beating gongs and drums, and then steps over the brazier.
If that doesn't work, then ask someone like Mi Po to call back the child's soul. But Song Xing was not frightened, as if his own soul had escaped. The coffin-opener is so mysterious that we can't figure it out.
of.
About three minutes later, Song Xing suddenly opened his eyes, as if he had regained consciousness.
"It's done, the old man knows." Song Xing suddenly said something incomprehensible, which made me a little confused. He wouldn't... have discussed it with my grandfather, right?
I quickly asked him what he meant, but he said it was nothing and suddenly stopped talking.
If he didn't say anything, I didn't bother to ask anymore, and just asked him to open the coffin quickly.
Song Xing nodded and did not ask me to help him. He placed the monument and dug the grave alone. The monument was very heavy, but he moved it without any effort. Digging the grave was even more relaxed and stress-free. About an hour later
, a coffin appeared in front of me.
Grandpa's coffin is a vertical coffin, standing, which is completely different from other coffins. The second uncle said that grandpa is a heavenly being and must be buried like this.
Song Xing respected his grandfather very much. After seeing the coffin, he kowtowed a hundred times, each time very loudly. After finishing, his forehead was bruised, but he didn't care at all. It seemed that his grandfather was very kind to him, otherwise
It won't be like this.
Song Xing was not in a hurry to open the coffin, but was waiting. I asked him what he was waiting for, and he looked at the sky and said he was waiting for the moon to fade.
I looked up and saw that the moon was extremely full tonight. This is also the reason why the Nine-tailed Fox needs to practice in seclusion. The Yin Qi is strongest on the night of the full moon, so this is indeed not the best time to open the coffin.
After waiting for about thirty minutes, suddenly a dark cloud floated in the sky, and then slowly covered the moon.
"The time has come." I reminded immediately.
Song Xing nodded and inserted his slender fingers directly into the coffin, opening a crack.
He was not opening the coffin, but exploring it, as if just in case.
Chapter completed!
