The sky was overcast, and white paper money was flying in the air.
A long funeral procession, draped in white cloth, came from afar. At the head of the funeral procession was a solemn-looking girl. She was wearing a brown Chinese dress, a white cloth, and a Qiankun Taigua hat, holding high the long sail in her hand.
, while leading the team forward, reciting funeral songs in his mouth.
The team carried two coffins one behind the other. The former was well made and decorated with exquisite carvings. Family members wearing white cloths and white scarves followed behind the coffins, looking sobbing.
The coffin at the end was much more ordinary. It was just a black coffin, just like the ordinary goods that were given as part of the buy one, get one free offer.
It is extremely rare for two coffins to be buried at the same time. If a family loses two people at the same time, it must be a great tragedy, but it is a bit special to have these two coffins buried together today.
Liyue's funerals are usually handled by the Shengsheng Hall, and this time is no exception.
The person in the coffin in the front is an old man from a wealthy family in Liyue named Luo. He died in a happy burial.
The coffin at the back contained a young man who had nothing to do with the Luo family.
This young man was found in the river by the Luo family. He seemed to have slipped and fell into the water. When he was found, his body was cold and there was no breath of life. He was obviously dead.
The Liyue General Affairs Office searched for several days, but could not find any records about this person in Liyue. Is there any identification mark on his body? His clothes are not like those of people from several nearby countries, and he has no family members.
Come claim it.
But you can't just leave a dead person alone, so the eccentric master of the Rebirth Hall decided to bury him together. Just as she was planning to hold a buy-one-get-one-free event, the unknown corpse became the one being buried.
"Send" one.
There must be some people who object to such an inconspicuous thing, but after the hall master's lobbying, the Luo family agreed. After all, they didn't need to pay extra, and the body couldn't be left alone if no one claimed it.
It’s a matter of accumulating some shady virtue.
As the funeral procession gradually approached the cemetery, the sound of the suona gradually became clearer and closer.
Jiang Bai's head felt dizzy, as if he had been thrown into a drum washing machine and the water was thrown around. It took a long time before he opened his eyes in a daze.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that he was trapped in a box where he could not see his fingers, as if he was being carried. There were lyrics and the sound of suona coming into his ears through the box.
Thinking of the black box and the shaking feeling, Jiang Bai had an unpleasant premonition in his heart.
Thinking of the scene he was about to face, Jiang Bai took action without hesitation. He used the bottom board as a support and used both hands and feet to push open the sealed coffin!
This strangeness naturally alarmed the coffin bearers. Seeing the coffin board suddenly opened like this, the people inside sat up. The legs of the coffin bearers became weak, and the coffin fell to the ground with a loud noise.
"Ghost...ghost!"
Screams came from behind and also attracted the attention of those in front.
The leader at the front frowned and calmly motioned for everyone to stop. Then a spear appeared behind him and jumped to the back of the team like a butterfly fluttering its wings.
"What's going on?" Before anyone arrived, the soft and crisp voice came over, which also made the coffin bearers feel at ease.
Although their hall leader is sometimes out of tune, he is still very serious and reliable in matters such as funerals.
Jiang Bai was still in a daze when he saw a slim girl standing in front of him holding a gun.
Looking at the person sitting in the coffin in front of her, the girl stretched her head curiously to see, then tilted her head.
As one of the most professional funeral experts in Liyue, she could of course tell at a glance whether the person in front of her was a human or a ghost, and whether he or she was possessed by a spirit, but this was what made her strange.
She had personally inspected this man's "corpse" and found that there was no breathing or heartbeat. Even his body was cold. He couldn't be dead anymore.
But now he is alive, and even his face is rosy.
The girl stretched her head forward and sniffed. Jiang Bai shrank back and distanced himself from her.
He doesn't even understand the situation now, let alone where this place is, so it's better not to act rashly.
Seeing the confusion and confusion in his eyes, the girl tilted her head again, then reached out and touched his face.
"It's warm...it's really alive..."
"Master, is this a living person?" The master came, and the coffin bearers nearby were no longer afraid. They boldly came forward and looked at Jiang Bai curiously.
"Where is this place...are you...?" Jiang Bai asked in confusion.
But the girl in front of him obviously had no intention of answering his words now, and turned to talk to the coffin bearers, "Since he is alive, there is no need to bury him. You guys wait here with him, and I will finish the funeral first.
.....”
Needless to say who this "he" refers to, Jiang Bai blinked and saw this girl jumping to the front like the wind.
Then, the sound of the suona continued and the funeral procession continued to move forward.
Knowing that it was a living person, the coffin bearers were no longer nervous and sat on the ground, waiting for the hall master to finish his work.
Jiang Bai, who was sitting in the coffin, had time to look at his surroundings.
The sky was very gloomy, and there was a lingering aftertaste of burning paper in the air. From time to time, the mountain wind blew, with a chill in it. They were on a path up the mountain, and the pine trees on the roadside were lush and green.
The vegetation was dark in color, and there were a lot of white paper money on the ground, which was blown everywhere by the wind.
Coupled with the coffin and funeral procession, there is an indescribable weird atmosphere.
For such an environment, Jiang Bai didn't feel any fear. He was more at a loss. He couldn't remember where he came from or what he did before, but it didn't look like he had amnesia.
Just like he remembers his own name, some familiar words can instantly awaken the body's instincts. For example, when he hears the suona and realizes that he is in a coffin, he will immediately know the seriousness of the matter and choose to break out of the coffin without hesitation.
.
"Where is this? Who are you?" he said casually, while trying to get out of the coffin.
As if he hadn't spoken for too long, his voice was hoarse, and his body seemed to be rusty, and he was not very flexible. Finally, the person next to him helped him to climb out.
After knowing that this was a living person, the coffin bearers were no longer afraid. After all, those in their profession were not for the faint of heart.
"This is Tianheng Mountain, and we are the coffin bearers at the Hall of Rebirth." The speaker moved his shoulders that were sore from carrying the coffin, then walked up to him curiously, and poked his face as if he had followed suit.
:
"It's you, why did you act like a dead person before? We are planning to bury you."
There is a warm feeling on the face, and the elasticity is particularly good.
