Chapter 21 Jinans destiny (Thanks to the leader @Aori)
Jin An is with the outside crowd.
Watching the coffin being carried from a distance.
He and many people saw the scene of the coffin falling to the ground.
At the same time, many people saw the white coffin being carried back to the cemetery.
This scene made Monk Zhang Er scratch his head. He didn't know what the Lin family was doing. They all took the coffin out and then took it back again.
Isn't it unnecessary to go back and forth like this?
"What do you know? If there is a funeral for a relative at home, the coffin must not fall to the ground when the coffin is being carried. Now the rope is broken and the coffin has fallen to the ground. This is not a good sign."
"Then you won't have to carry the coffin and put it back again, right?"
"I guess something else happened?"
Jin An listened to the discussions of the people around him, his eyes thoughtful.
At this time, a small commotion broke out in the crowd. It turned out to be Lin Lu's family, following the old Taoist priest step by step, walking toward them and the crowd of onlookers.
Everyone was talking about it, guessing what the other party's intention was?
The old Taoist priest approached the two to three hundred people watching the excitement, and looked at the hundreds of faces one by one.
But every time I look at a face, I shake my head.
Until, when the old Taoist saw Jin An, his face showed surprise and doubt at first, and then he was a little unsure and hesitated.
"The eyebrows are protruding forward, the face is square and resolute, and the face is thick and purple. Whether it is the Caibo Palace or the Fortune Palace, they are all towering like I have never seen before. It is really strange that I have never seen the appearance of the ancients before.
Why...how could there be such an unprecedented face in this world? Could it be that it suddenly popped out of the stone?"
"But how can the stone that popped out of the stone have a palace of wives and concubines that is round and wide, bright and without darkness, and a stone cannot marry a wife and have children!"
The old Taoist priest looked at the Ziwei Twelve Palaces in Jin'an and said to himself.
I completely forgot the reason why I came here.
When Jin An was being stared at every hair on his face, he felt that he should say, "What are you worried about?"
But when I think about it, people here don’t know how to play tricks.
So, Jin An thought for a while and said to the old Taoist priest: "Who do you think you are!"
Old Taoist priest: "?"
Lin Lu: "?"
Lin Lu’s parents: “?”
Clan member of the Lin family: "?"
Onlookers: "?"
There was a respected elder in the Lin family who angrily reprimanded Jin An on the spot: "Don't be so presumptuous, why do you curse!"
Jin An looked confused after hearing this.
"What did I curse?"
"As soon as this old Taoist priest came here, he kept staring at my face to read and tell fortunes. Of course I had to ask him, 'What are you doing?' and whether the fortune-telling produced any results."
Jin An felt that he was wronged.
Old Taoist priest: "!"
Lin Lu: "!"
Lin Lu’s parents: “!”
Clan member of the Lin family: "!"
Onlookers: "!"
"!!!"
What do you think is used here?
Suddenly I feel like some strange knowledge points have been added.
"I recognize him. Isn't he Mr. Jin'an who has repeatedly solved strange cases, including the 'Thunder Man's Corpse Killing Case' and the 'Drowning Death Case'!"
Someone in the Lin clan pointed at Jin An and exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, the others took a closer look and finally determined that this man was none other than Mr. Jin'an, who is now famous in Chang County.
Even a five-year-old girl in Chang County knew about Jin'an's reputation and clamored to marry Jin'an.
"This little brother, can you lend me a place to chat?"
"I have something to ask for."
When Jin An learned that he was not sure whether he was a true Taoist priest with real abilities or an old bastard who was just tormenting people, he was actually asked to carry the corpse!
When you go to carry the dead man in the white coffin!
He flatly refused without even thinking about it.
See if this old bastard is speaking human language.
Three taboos on carrying a corpse:
1. Prepare a red candle and three incense sticks.
Second, the corpse can only be carried at midnight when the yin and yang alternate and the yin and yang are generated.
Third, it must be done by one person alone, without others. He must pry open the white coffin on time at midnight, then wear red clothes and carry the body with his back to the white coffin.
Fourth, during this period, you must not look back at the body in the white coffin.
Because there is a separation between yin and yang after death, it is possible to prevent the corpse in the coffin from being confused by the decaying corpse energy, causing hallucinations, or being borrowed a breath of yang energy to deceive the corpse.
5. On the way carrying the corpse, no matter what movement or sound you hear, no matter if you hear someone calling your name from behind, don’t look back.
Listen, is this human talk?
Is this a good job to do?
No wonder Jin An directly labeled the old Taoist priest in front of him as an old magic stick.
This is not a question of courage or not.
God, if you go to carry a corpse in the middle of the night, you can't look back to see what you are carrying. Who knows what will be lying on your back?
No matter how much the Lin family begged, Jin An frowned and refused to agree to the matter.
This is no longer a question of good people and bad people.
Unless he has sesame seeds in his head, he would do such a ridiculous thing.
"Old God..."
Jin An knew that the old magician in front of him had a high status in the Lin family, so luckily he stopped what he was about to say in time.
If he really showed any disrespect to the old magician, the dozens of Lin family members standing here could smoke him to death with just a spit of spit.
"Taoist Priest, what is the corpse-carrying craftsman you mentioned just now? Why can the corpse-carrying craftsman carry corpses when he comes?"
"I understand the meaning of craftsman. On paper, it usually means craftsman, which represents a profession and an industry."
"Corpse-carriers refer to a group of people who make a living by carrying corpses for others?"
Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest did not answer and asked Jin An: "I wonder, little brother, do you know how many kinds of harmful lynchings and tortures there have been from ancient times to the present?"
Jin'an: "Cracked car, quartered by five horses, buried alive, disemboweled, cooked, tortured, skinned, gutted, sawed, quartered, mounted on a wooden horse and donkey, soaked in a pig cage, human pigs (zhi)), roasted, roasted in a pot,
There are five punishments: the punishment of being minced (hǎi), the punishment of putting you in a urn, the punishment of cutting off (yuè), and the punishment of castration..."
"?"
"!"
The old Taoist priest, Lin Lu, and the rest of the Lin family were frightened by Jin An. They all retreated ten steps away in a noisy voice and looked at Jin An with horrified expressions.
He must have encountered a madman or a mentally abnormal murderer who escaped to Chang County incognito.
There were even many tortures that even they had never heard of.
"Ahem, cough." The old Taoist priest had a slightly embarrassed look on his face.
Because he brought it up.
Instead, he was frightened by Jin An first.
I always felt a little uneasy on the surface, but for a moment I was very afraid of Jin An, fearing that Jin An was really a big devil who killed people without blinking an eye.
"If a person is in too much pain before death and cannot swallow any resentment after death, weird things will often happen. In addition, when the death is too tragic and even the body is mutilated, like jailers and ordinary people
, but no one dared to get close to these corpses. So there was a profession of corpse-carrying, which specialized in dealing with the dead."
"The corpse-carrying craftsmen have their own unique methods for picking up corpses, suppressing corpses, unloading evil spirits, and saving lives. They even know corpse language. They can deal with corpses and communicate with each other, so that the corpses agree to be carried by them.
corpse."
Jin An was stunned when he heard this.
Then frowned.
Is there still so many weird and bizarre pursuits and professions in this world?
"Since my little brother doesn't want to carry the corpse, I won't force anyone to do it. This matter is indeed too difficult for ordinary people."
"Perhaps there is another way to help the Lin family..."
"Old Taoist, I would like to invite you, little brother, to carry the coffin with the Lin family. Little brother's destiny is very tough. His destiny is so tough that no one has ever had it before or since. Even I, the Taoist, can't understand my little brother's destiny. Maybe it's because of this.
Little brother, if you act as the leader once, you can carry the coffin successfully."
"There is no danger in this matter. If there is any danger, just stop it in time. And if the coffin lifting is successful, it can be regarded as removing a hidden danger for the people of Chang County and allowing the original deceased to rest in peace. It will be a great merit."
"good!"
Jin An agreed to carry the coffin together this time.
