Chapter 152 Light the Eternal Life Candle

Lu An looked at the location where the old man's portrait was placed. He was a little surprised. The photo on the portrait was of a middle-aged man. It seemed that he looked like the deceased in his middle age, but the photo vaguely resembled Mr. Lin.

Maybe it's because of the relationship between father and son, so they look a bit alike, but it doesn't rule out that Mr. Lin is the old man who died.

The supernatural power itself is unexplainable. In addition, this is a supernatural place. It is somewhat normal for anything unexpected to happen.

"Today is not the first day, so this day may not be affected by supernatural powers, so it is very safe at this time." Lu An said

"Rather than this, I'm more curious about where the stage will be set up. Logically speaking, asking a theater troupe to set up a stage to sing is just for fun and face." Peng Fang said.

"It's either outside or in the house. If it's outside, it's really for fun and dignity, but if it's inside the house, then we're really just singing for the dead." Lu An said.

Lu An, the miners next to Peng Fang and the living person who still smelled of alcohol did not explore like the others. They felt that it was safest to stay with Lu An.

"According to custom, although today is not the first day, someone still has to stay and watch over the body. After all, the body is here." Lu An said.

"There is also the Eternal Life Candle. Legend has it that it is used to guide the souls of the dead. It lights the way to the underworld to prevent the souls from getting lost. After death, people will light lamps at the top of their heads and at the bottom of their feet. This is to provide blessings to the deceased.

To light up the road, those who keep watch at night should usually light the lamp in time and not let the lamp go out. In addition, they don’t want the deceased to feel that their relatives don’t take them seriously.”

"These are just legends, but now we have to preside over funeral arrangements, and the older generation pays attention to rules. Only by strictly following the funeral ceremony will nothing terrible happen." Peng Fang said.

"Indeed, then the longevity candle should be in this mourning hall." Lu An said

Then Lu An and Peng Fang began to search. The miner and the drunk man seemed a little at a loss, but after thinking about it, they started searching together.

The four people rummaged through the cabinets and finally found the longevity candle in a drawer. There were seven candles in total, which seemed to last from tonight to the sixth day, and the sixth day was the time when the body was buried.

Lu An came to the front where the corpse was placed, gently placed an eternal candle on the ground, took out a lighter and lit it. In order to ensure that the eternal candle would not fall easily, Lu An dropped the burning candle on the ground, and then

Put the eternal life candle up

The Eternal Life Candle looks like the material of an ordinary candle, but it burns very slowly, and after lighting the Eternal Life Candle, the atmosphere in the mourning hall is obviously much warmer.

At this time, everyone who was responsible for searching other rooms also returned to the mourning hall. As soon as they entered, they noticed that the mourning hall was warmer than before, and then they saw the burning eternal life candle.

"Did you find anything?" Lu An asked.

"The two rooms we searched did not have any normal furniture or furnishings, nor were there any strange objects worth noting." Hua Ge said.

"The room my brother and I searched is not there either, but it seems to be a place where farm tools and various tools are placed." The twin brother said.

"The two rooms I searched gave the impression that they were normal and ordinary farmhouses, but it was this normality that revealed something unusual." said the lone wolf ghost master.

Lu An looked at Yang Li. After all, he had gone out before.

"I found something. It's a black shroud. It should be worn by the deceased." Yang Lidao

"Take me to see it." Lu An said

"good."

Lu An always felt that something was wrong. Now he finally figured it out. When he just opened the white cloth, he did not see the shroud worn by the old man.

Before, he thought that the so-called Mr. Lin did not prepare a shroud for his father. It seemed that he had prepared it, but Lu An and others had to put it on personally for the old man.

Everyone followed Yang Li out of the mourning hall. At this time, the mourning hall seemed empty. Without anyone noticing, the white cloth covering the old man's body was lifted open, and the appearance of the middle-aged man in the portrait quickly changed.

Turned into an old man

The candlelight of the Everlasting Candle seemed to get brighter at a certain moment. The old man lifted up a corner of the white cloth and was covered back by some kind of force, or it could be said that it was covered back by the old man himself. He only had the appearance of the portrait, but he was still an old man.

appearance.

Yang Li quickly led everyone to a relatively remote room. There, everyone saw a black shroud placed on the table, especially the large "longevity" character embroidered in the middle of the clothes, which was very conspicuous.

Lu An quickly walked up and picked up the black shroud with his right hand wearing a human leather glove. To a certain extent, his right hand wearing a human leather glove could also be regarded as a ghost.

Even though this black shroud was very dangerous, Lu An did not touch it, only his ghostly hands.

"Let's go back to the mourning hall." Lu An said

Then everyone returned to the mourning hall. As soon as they entered the mourning hall, everyone saw that the portrait in front had changed.

"You used to look like a middle-aged man, and now you look like an old man?" The man who smelled like alcohol couldn't bear it and said.

But the miner didn't speak. Everyone thought he might have been frightened. There were originally five companions, but he was the only one left alive. This feeling can only be understood by those who have experienced it.

"Don't be nervous. At least it doesn't have a big impact now. It's just that the portrait in the photo has been changed." Lu An said.

"Then we need to change the old man's shroud now?" Peng Fang asked.

"Well, you have to change it sooner or later, and currently we only provide the longevity candle and this black shroud. The longevity candle has been lit, so only the black shroud has not been put on." Lu An said.

"According to my speculation, we are now equivalent to those who preside over all funeral matters. Only by not breaking any funeral rules can we minimize the risks we encounter."

"Peng Fang, come and change into the black shroud with me." Lu An said.

"Don't you need our help?" Brother Hua asked.

"I will tell you if necessary. This is just to minimize the risk." Lu An responded to Hua Ge

"By the way, find a cleaner basin. As for water, bring mineral water. Just use mineral water, and then towels. Do any of you bring towels?" Lu An asked while giving instructions.

"I have a new one." Peng Fang took out a clean white towel from her backpack

"Then I'll go look for a clean basin." Brother Hua said and left the mourning hall.

After about five or six minutes, Brother Hua walked in with a plastic basin.

"It's really hard to find this basin. I found it under the bed in a room. The room was full of dust. I washed it many times," Brother Hua said.

Lu An poured the prepared bottles of mineral water into the cleaned basin, and then put a clean white towel into it.
