Chapter 178: Beijing Suburbs Funeral Palace (20)
‘No! Isn’t the examiner here * * *? ’
On October 10th, he was confused. After thinking about it carefully, he confirmed: ‘I really didn’t smell anything related to Crazy Sun. ’
Then she became brisk again: "Besides, even if there is one, it will be completely covered by the captain's scent." Yu Hehui has been with Director Cui, but I can't even smell his breath! What's wrong, Fei Bai, what did you find? ’
'Just a thought. ’
Bai Xiaotian said calmly: 'I have used the book, and I can't take action for a while. Please pay more attention to Mia, she has a problem. ’
‘Okay, do you want me to test it? ’
Lu Shucheng didn't even need to ask what Bai Xiaosheng said, he just believed it.
'Need not. ’
Bai Xiaotian said: 'Be careful when carrying the coffin'
Among the four people who lived in the outer courtyard, Augustus and October 10 were both barbers. When carrying the coffin into the funeral shed, one person should have his back to the coffin and hold the head of the coffin with both hands behind him, commonly known as the 'head bearer', while one person should hold the corners of the coffin behind, commonly known as the 'corner bearer'.
The direction of carrying the head should be controlled so that the coffin should be flush with the ground from beginning to end, without any inclination.
It is important who is in front and who is behind.
‘You are the one in charge. ’
'good'
Lu Shucheng responded, and the two immediately ended the call. They communicate very covertly, through special props, which are sounds that only they can hear and will not be discovered by outsiders.
"October."
After leaving the hut on October 10th, she saw Mia looking at her with concern fifteen steps away. This distance is maintained well enough not to offend anyone but also to feel caring.
"I'm going to carry the coffin."
As the gang leader, Mia handed over these tasks to Augustus on October 10th.
"Um."
October 10th responded coldly and walked forward.
"The matter of Augustus——"
"Didn't he have a mouth himself?"
October 10th frowned. She was wearing a bamboo hat, and the hanging veil blurred her expression, but the coldness could be heard in her tone.
"If he has anything to say, let him tell me."
Mia smiled bitterly and explained softly: "I just hope that when we carry the coffin later, you can put aside your past feud and cooperate smoothly. Augustus is indeed too hot-tempered, a little irritable, and not calm enough. So I hope... …”
I hope you can be the leader.
But October 10th sneered and interrupted her: "I'm free to be the one who takes the lead, but I won't leave my back to that wild wolf."
"I don't believe him."
After saying that, on October 10th, he left Mia behind and found Augustus in person. Under his vigilant and hostile eyes, he held a red oil paper umbrella and said in a cold voice: "Hey, I heard that you think you are weaker than me, so you want to A corner guy?"
"Weak? Huh?! You woman are too arrogant!"
Augustus became even more angry on the spot: "The outcome of the last contest has not been determined yet, do you really think you can beat me?!"
"Anyway, I don't trust you walking behind me."
On October 10th, he looked at Mia and said, "I am the leader."
"this……"
Mia was a little hesitant, but Augustus was stunned for a moment. The previous anger disappeared a little, and the wolf's eyes turned, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes. After speaking on October 10th, he simply walked away, leaving the West District Three Wolves to discuss.
"Why does she want to be the boss so much? Hey Mia, is there anything special about this?"
October 10th refused to let Augustus stand behind him, but it proved that he was so powerful that October 10th was afraid of exposing his back. But Augustus was not a pure idiot whose brain was full of muscles. He had strong wild intuition and was keenly aware that October 10 was a little anxious in this regard.
"The bearer's back is facing the coffin. If there is any abnormality in the coffin, he will not be able to detect it in time."
Mia thought deeply: "And the one who carries the head will go first to the funeral shed."
"This spiritual shed was set up by Mr. Yin Yang and his fellow half-life Taoists. I'm worried that there is some fraud in it."
Although the one who takes the lead can grasp the direction and is the more powerful of the two, there are also more dangers. With the corners at the back, you can better observe the appropriateness, and you can react more easily when you see something is not going well.
"In addition, the leader also shouts some slogans, which are passwords."
"Huh, so that's it."
Augustus snorted coldly, with a look of 'I understand! ’ expression: “I understand, is she trying to trick me? I don’t speak Mandarin well, is this an offense to the deceased? What punishment will I receive?”
"this……"
Mia choked, this was an angle she had never thought of.
You’ve all come to the Eastern District for a trip, can’t you even speak Mandarin well? Look how standard the devil businessman is!
Mia said helplessly: "That's probably not the case. It's just a very simple command to make you all act in unison."
"I think what she wants to be is not the one in charge, but the leader."
Olena, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Oriental people rarely state their goals directly, and always use tortuous ways to achieve their wishes."
On October 10th, she bluntly stated that she was going to be the leader, which would naturally arouse their suspicion, worrying whether being the leader would be dangerous, or wondering whether she had some arrangements at the corner of the coffin.
In the final analysis, Mr. Yin Yang is not from the West District, so he has many concerns.
"If she wants to be the leader, let her take the lead."
Augustus said impatiently: "It can't be as they wish anyway."
"but……"
Mia was still hesitant. She remembered that when she first proposed it, she rejected it on October 10th before she even said it.
"Maybe she really wants to be the boss."
"It's not certain, what can be determined?"
Augustus said angrily: "You predict her prediction of you, she predicts your prediction of your prediction? Is it over yet?"
"I don't believe it. We have to carry the coffin out next. Can they still play dirty tricks here?!"
* *
When Augustus stood in front of the mourning hall, with his back to the head of the coffin and his backhanded coffin, the unimaginable weight made him curse wildly in his heart.
Fu·ck, are the people in the East District crazy? They really play dirty tricks? !
Why is this coffin so heavy! There must be something fishy here!
It's 9:30 in the morning, the sky is still gloomy, and it's drizzling outside. All the passengers gathered here, with sad faces and mournful faces, listening to Augustus roaring and lifting the head of the coffin. October 10th took advantage of the situation to hold the tail of the coffin. The two cooperated well. From beginning to end, the coffin was horizontal to the ground.
Although the rule is that the pallbearers must stand straight when carrying the coffin, without any bending, that is when there are pallbearers on both sides of the four corners of the coffin. The ghost pallbearers in the front yard cannot enter the backyard, so only Augustus and October 10th are responsible for carrying the coffin into the mourning shed.
Augustus is much taller than October 10th. They have to keep the coffin level, so Augustus, as the head of the pallbearers, has to bend slightly to lower the height. But this posture is very tiring, and bending over can't really exert strength, which makes Augustus feel that the coffin is too heavy.
He is a werewolf, and the coffin that makes the werewolves feel heavy is definitely not just Granny Zhi!
Augustus gritted his teeth and exerted so much force that a little wolf hair grew on the back of his hand.
Yes, there is also an old red zombie.
Zombies are extremely heavy, even heavier than steel. The red zombie is even more infused with the blood of the mutant drought demon, and has been well tempered by the half-life Taoist, weighing at least one or two thousand pounds. Fortunately, the coffin is made of extraordinary materials, otherwise the bottom of the coffin would have fallen off as soon as Augustus and October 10th lifted it up.
Laughing in his heart, the Taoist Banming looked serious.
"Enter the mourning shed--"
The mourning shed was set up in the outer courtyard. The entrance was a huge and gorgeous paper archway. The eaves of the roof were made of orange-yellow paper, and the pillars were made of red paper. There were even two stone lions under the pillars. The workmanship was exquisite. The first thing you see is the two black-and-white characters "Dian" on the left and right.
"This mourning shed is unusual."
The devil merchant exclaimed, his eyes solemn: "I feel a breath of ancient souls from it."
"The bamboo and willow wood used to make the mourning shed, the paper used to paste the mourning shed, and the dyes used for dyeing are all unusual."
Wei Xun said: "The family savings of the Zhi family must have been used here."
As tour guides, in order not to interfere with the tourists' "immersive experience", Wei Xun, Yu Hehui and the devil merchant all stood on the periphery and could not follow into the mourning shed.
Strictly speaking, the items in the mourning shed were arranged by the Taoist Banming and Bai Xiaotian, but the mourning shed itself was brought out by the Zhi family.
"Have you seen that old housekeeper and those powerful servants of the Zhi family before?"
"No."
Wei Xun shook his head. The devil businessman was asking about the servants who quickly arranged the mourning shed and erected the paper archway and the old housekeeper who directed it.
The housekeeper of the Zhi family turned into a ball as early as the first night, and Sister Qian was said to have not survived the impact of the gold and silver generals, and lost her soul and became a paper man. But after the two of them died, another "old housekeeper" appeared, as well as those servants and guards who came from nowhere.
"They should have hidden themselves in a special way and would only appear at the most critical moment."
Yu Hehui said.
The funeral procession started today, which was naturally the most critical moment.
At this moment, Augustus and October 10th had already carried the coffin into the mourning shed, but it was not all smooth sailing.
Augustus only felt that the coffin on his back was getting heavier and heavier, like a mountain. It was also like an iceberg. The cold air penetrated his back through the bottom of the coffin, as if it was going to freeze his internal organs completely.
Augustus could even see the white smoke coming out of his breath - the temperature around him was indeed dropping.
And the road ahead seemed to be endless. The mourning shed was right in front of him, but he couldn't get in no matter what.
It was simply weird!
Most importantly, Augustus felt that the coffin was subtly tilting backwards, as if October 10th, who was carrying the coffin behind him, had disappeared, or was lower. This forced Augustus to continue bending over to keep the coffin stable, but his vigilance was at its highest.
This lowering of the height should not be intentional by October 10th. It was more like the coffin bearer behind him quietly replaced it with a shorter person.
Shit!
Augustus' face was ashen. Just at that moment, the cold wind blew, and his pants rotted without any warning, revealing two big hairy legs!
Could it be that October 10th and the others took action? But what's the point of rotten pants! Augustus was angry because he felt he was being played, but he didn't care about exposing his legs.
He gritted his teeth, held his breath, but still carried the coffin meticulously - when the coffin was in place, he would definitely figure it all out!
October 10th carried the coffin expressionlessly, she felt the coffin head tilted downward, but October 10th kept her back straight, just slightly bent her legs to keep her balance. This posture was a bit tiring, not to mention that she was only wearing white socks on her feet now, and when she stepped on the ground, her shoes disappeared without a trace.
There was a "person" behind her just now, who stepped on her shoes.
However, October 10th clearly remembered that there was no one behind her.
But October 10th did not care about the matter of her shoes falling off, and she was not distracted at all. Her eyes were fixed on Augustus's shoulders from beginning to end, not looking anywhere else. And he always adjusted the height of his coffin according to the tendency of the coffin, keeping the coffin parallel to the ground from beginning to end.
I don’t know how long I walked, maybe a few minutes, maybe a dozen minutes, but on October 10th, the hotel’s reminder finally sounded in my mind.
[You passed the test of the barge bearer! 】
[Distribution of test rewards——]
【You get 2000 points】
[Based on your performance, you have been given the temporary title: Experienced Taoist! 】
[Experienced pole puller (provisional title): Experienced pole puller, you know that you must straighten your back and use even force when carrying the coffin. Look directly at the shoulder of the person in front of you and not look elsewhere. Even if the shoe falls off, there is no private movement or disrupting the rhythm! 】
[As an experienced pole puller, you are the core figure among the pole pullers. When you show up, the barbers around you will be calmer and more organized! 】
But the hotel reminder that sounded in Augustus's mind was slightly different from October 10th. He also passed the test and got 2,000 points, but the temporary title he got was just 'Skilled Bargemaster'
[Skilled pole puller (provisional title): You are a skilled pole puller. When carrying the coffin, you can ensure that the coffin does not shake or sway and is always parallel to the ground. Even if his pants were torn, he didn’t make any private moves or disrupt the rhythm! 】
[As a skilled pole puller, you are the main person when carrying the coffin. You can carry the coffin smoothly under the leadership of experienced pole lifters! 】
An experienced poleman? Not a gangster?
Mia is already a gang leader, why does the prompt say ‘under the leadership of an experienced gangster? ! ’
Augustus sensed something was wrong.
"Let's lower the coffin——"
The protracted voice of the half-life Taoist sounded, and Augustus and October 10th lowered the coffin. Bai Xiaotian stepped forward to help. He saw Augustus glaring at October 10th, but did not make a sound. There must be no fighting or making loud noises in the tomb.
And everything is a done deal!
* *
"Sister Cheng is holding the role from behind. It must be Bai Xiaosheng's plan."
In the movie theater on the way home, Wang Yushu said: "No one except him can pay attention to small details like this."
"Details determine success or failure."
Wang Pengpai said cheerfully: "Bai Xiaosheng is very cautious, and others might not notice it. After all, he is the only one who thinks of 'internal classification' all the time."
Internal positioning is actually the unspoken rule of a hotel. When two travelers with the same identity appear in an immersive attraction, the journey will give them an internal rating.
For example, this time Augustus and October 10 are both barbers, and they must be ranked internally according to their performance in the attraction. For low-difficulty journeys, such as dangerous levels, difficult levels, etc., although there are internal ratings, they will not be specifically reflected. They will only be subtly reflected in the attitude of NPCs or the different difficulties encountered in the attractions.
But when it comes to extremely dangerous levels, especially during the journey to the pseudo-unsolvable and true unsolvable levels, the internal rating will really be reflected.
For example, October 10th and Augustus received different temporary titles respectively.
"Black and white are impermanent, bull-headed and horse-faced, and the yoke master and the lock master all appear. It is normal for this aspect to have specific manifestations in this third-level extremely dangerous journey."
When Augustus put down the coffin and glared at October 10th, he must have received some hotel hint. This is clear to the returning travelers.
“Actually, it’s easier to take the lead when you’re the one taking the lead.”
Wang Yushu objectively commented: "I thought Bai Xiaosheng would let Lu Shucheng compete for the front position."
Although the leverage test is more stringent, the benefits are definitely greater.
"And then you ruined your pants like Augustus?"
Mao Xiaole said disdainfully: "Is it possible that he made Lu Shucheng's pants rotten during the live broadcast?"
"How do you think he has such a long brain? How do you know so many strange and detailed knowledge?"
Wang Yushu was also speechless. He checked casually, and sure enough, he saw in the 'gangfu rules' such as 'the waist should be straight and not bent', 'people behind you should stare at the shoulders of the people in front, and you are not allowed to look around', 'even if your shoes fall off your pants' You can't even mention the rules like '.
Who knew there would be real shoes falling off and pants falling off in this attraction?
But Bai Xiaosheng thought of it.
"Furthermore, Augustus is too tall. In order to maintain stability when lifting the bar, he will definitely stoop down and his score will not be too high."
Wang Pengpeng shook his head: "He carries the coffin head, so his hidden score is slightly higher. If he is the tail bearer, his evaluation will be lower. But too low an evaluation will not be good for carrying the coffin for the funeral."
Bai Xiaosheng has his own sense of proportion in his calculations, and everything is for the best effect.
"That's great. I think Bai Xiaosheng and Lu Shucheng both look much happier."
Wang Yushu sighed suddenly and shook hands melancholy.
"They must be able to comfort them like Zhou Tuan... ugh!"
"That's a full ten days!"
Although Xi Ming Ren Slice became the examiner, this did not prevent Bing 250 from appeasing the brigade. I just don’t know how long it will take them to get Bing250 on their way home after this journey is over.
"I also want to experience what it's like to have a tour guide..."
Wang Yushu lamented, staring at the live screen with envy. After leaving the tomb on October 10th, he completely ignored Augustus who was holding his breath and leaned directly next to Bing250.
* *
"Director Cui, I just met——"
October 10th reported the situation to Bing 250 seriously, from the crooked coffin to the lost shoes, to the test and so on.
‘Bing 250 likes to hear all kinds of legends and information related to folk attractions, the more detailed the better. ’
Bai Xiaosheng told her before coming.
‘You can use this to get close to him’
October 10th spoke in detail, and sure enough, Bing 250 listened with great interest and asked her some details.
The devil merchant next to him listened a few times and was envious.
Are all the tourists in the East District (except Yun Lianghan) so conscious? Will they take the initiative to report the situation?
The devil merchant hinted at the werewolf Augustus, but Augustus was annoyed and stared at October 10th when he left the mourning shed. Feeling that the devil merchant was looking at him, Augustus glared at him.
The devil merchant... The devil merchant didn't want to talk.
“How have you felt these days?”
Having a good chat, Wei Xun casually asked with concern.
October 10th's eyes lit up, and he said indifferently: "It's okay... the food is just average."
In the spirit shed, the Yin-Yang master was still presiding over the opening ceremony, and they were talking about food here.
The devil businessman was speechless.
* *
At this moment, the atmosphere in the spirit shed was very solemn. In addition to the pallbearers, the other "filial sons and grandsons" and Yin-Yang masters gathered in the spirit shed. The black coffin was opened, revealing the deceased in the coffin.
'Grandma Zhi' was lying in the coffin in a shroud, with a peaceful face. At first glance, it was unclear whether she was a man or a woman. She looked like a girl with a male face, and a boy with a female face, especially her pale face, as pale as paper without any blood. The wrinkled skin was full of dark spots, which looked more like moldy spots than age spots.
Of course, 'Grandma Zhi' was originally pressed down by the red zombie, and everyone turned a blind eye to the fact that there was a zombie in the coffin, and they didn't see it at all. Yun Lianghan opened his mouth, but after looking around, he knew what was good and didn't say anything.
However, the half-life Taoist who was closest to the coffin felt nervous.
He found that Granny Zhi's shroud was actually worn backwards!
She was lying on her back, but the shroud was facing up, not only the upper body, but also the lower body and feet -
No, that's not right.
The half-life Taoist observed carefully, and the more he looked, the more frightened he felt. It wasn't that the shroud was worn backwards, Granny Zhi was lying in the coffin, but her head was twisted to the back!
The half-life Taoist quickly calmed down.
When he put the red zombie in before, everything was normal. The red zombie could hide Granny Zhi's breath. If it wasn't the Yin messenger and the Yin soldiers, then this should be a strange phenomenon caused by the gender reversal.
That's right, you can't tell whether Granny Zhi is male or female just by looking at her face, but you can tell from her body. She twisted her body backwards, probably to cover up the changes in her body. But time was too tight and too urgent. Granny Zhi couldn't turn around before the coffin was carried to the spirit shed for consecration!
This is troublesome!
"Please, filial son, consecrate the deceased——"
The Half-Life Taoist took the rice handed over by Bai Xiaotian, took down the red chopsticks stuck in the middle of the rice, and handed it to Zhou Xiyang, thinking rapidly in his heart.
'Grandma Zhi' was not dead, and she could turn freely in the coffin before. But as soon as the consecration ceremony was over and the funeral began, in order to hide from the ghosts, she naturally had to pretend to be completely dead, and now it was the same.
In other words, she could no longer turn her body over by herself. And the dead body was so bizarre and weird, there must be something wrong, and the ghosts were very likely to use this to lure Grandma Zhi's soul to investigate.
Grandma Zhi's body must be turned right in the spirit shed!
Zhou Xiyang also found the abnormality of Granny Zhi's 'corpse'. With a sad face, he took the chopsticks, dipped them in white wine, and touched Granny Zhi's eyes, nose, mouth, etc., chanting: "Open the eyes, look around;"
"Open the nose, smell the five spices;"
"Open the mouth, eat cattle and sheep;"
Zhou Xiyang shook his head slightly.
The corpse is hard! Just like the corpse of a person who has died for a period of time, the body cannot be turned right by hard rotation, which will break Granny Zhi's head!
We have to think of a way, how can we make Granny Zhi's corpse no longer a 'normal corpse', but one that can be turned?
After opening the five senses, the heart light, hand light and foot light must be opened, and the corpse must be turned right.
Zhou Xiyang's movements are getting slower and slower. What they have to do now is to find a logical reason for Granny Zhi to make the corpse move!
"Filial son."
The half-life Taoist's heart moved, as if he noticed that Zhou Xiyang's speech speed was gradually slowing down, he lowered his voice to remind him.
"Yes, there is a demon at work!"
But the next moment, the rice in Zhou Xiyang's hand fell to the ground with a bang!
He stepped back in shock, and waved his hands wildly to push the 'eldest daughter-in-law' Mei Keer who was kneeling beside him. Mei Keer was shocked and moved again. He looked pale on the surface, but he understood in his heart.
Meikeer cursed inwardly and fell towards the coffin. The moment he touched the coffin, he suddenly turned into a black cat with fangs and claws, as round as a coal ball!
"The black cat entered the coffin-it's a corpse!"
The Half-Life Taoist shouted in a very exaggerated way. He was brave and fearless. He picked up the black cat and kicked it out of the mourning shed with one step. The 'corpse' in the coffin really didn't miss the opportunity and stood up.
"Suppress!"
The Half-Life Taoist shouted sternly, and casually pinched a few spells. In the midst of his busy schedule, he glanced at Bai Xiaotian. Bai Xiaotian was very smart. He threw the wooden fish in his hand on the spot and solemnly recited the six-character Buddhist mantra!
"Om, Mani, Padme Hum!"
"Boom!"
Of course it is useless for Bai Xiaotian, a Taoist priest, to recite the six-character Buddhist mantra. What is useful is the wooden fish he throws. The wooden fish was being thrown towards Granny Zhi's head, and with a crisp thud, Granny Zhi's head was hit and turned half a circle!
Of course Granny Zhi, who had swindled the corpse, was no longer stiff and could turn her head.
Then Taoist Ban Ming's hands, which were casting the "Suppression" spell, fell on Granny Zhi's shoulders - skillfully turning her over.
"Huh - it's so dangerous."
After the dust settled, Grandpa Zhi, who had successfully turned around, was placed in the coffin with a peaceful expression and a slight smile on his lips. Taoist Ban Ming broke out in a non-existent sweat, and just said to Zhou Xiyang, who also looked very embarrassed:
"The eldest daughter-in-law..."
Taoist Ban Ming still wanted to save her life, saying that the eldest daughter-in-law was possessed by a cat demon and that the exorcism would be enough.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed, showing a somewhat tangled expression.
[You passed Mr. Yin Yang’s test! 】
[Distribution of test rewards——]
【You get 2000 points】
[Based on your performance, you have been given the temporary title: Demon Slayer·Mr. Yin Yang! 】
[Demon Slayer·Mr. Yin Yang (provisional title): You have discovered the evil black cat demon who is trying to disturb the peace of the dead! This dead body has special power that can attract many monsters. Please protect the dead body from being desecrated during the funeral process, and capture and kill the cat demon and its accomplices! 】
This is still an attraction divided into camps! Damn it, not only are the Yin troops chasing him, but the brigade is also divided into camps.
Is this because they think their passengers are too strong?
"The eldest daughter-in-law...is really a cat demon."
The half-life Taoist smiled uglier than crying, and at the same time, a shrill and angry cat meow came from the outer courtyard.
"Meow-meow-!"
Even if you don't understand cat language, you can still hear the black cat cursing like crazy.
Zhou Xiyang and Taoist Ban Ming had a bad idea and actually treated him as a cat demon!
Yes, you really deserve it!
"What is it saying?"
Wei Xun was chatting with October 10th when he saw a group of black cats flying out of the tomb like a cannonball. The fur on its body is fluffy and really looks like a ball. I saw the black cat rolling on the ground, stood up and was about to rush into the funeral shed again, but froze before it could rush in.
Then it started meowing and cursing.
"We are divided into camps."
Wei Xun originally asked Yu Hehui, but the answer was October 10th.
"After all, this is a level three extremely dangerous journey. It's normal - the higher the level of the journey, the more competition among passengers will be involved."
October 10th was very peaceful: "Director Cui has just entered the hotel not long ago. He hasn't seen the year-end celebration yet."
Not only had Wei Xun never seen it, but neither had the devil merchant. There is no live replay of this year-end celebration, and there is no record. Even if they want to look for it, they can't see it.
“You’ll be able to see it during the year-end celebrations.”
They talked peacefully like this, but Augustus was not peaceful at all!
[Although you appear to be a skilled barber, you are also an accomplice of the evil black cat demon, a bloodthirsty red wolf spirit! 】
[The evil black cat demon has been exposed. You can choose to hide your identity, contact it secretly, or contact other partners. Your purpose is to destroy this funeral and take away Grandpa Zhi’s body! 】
Damn it, Augustus thought of the wolf hair exposed on the back of his hands when he was carrying the coffin. It must be because of this that he was judged to be in the monster camp!
"Huh? Do you have a demonic aura?"
Nezha Ling's figure suddenly appeared next to Wei Xun. He wrinkled his nose and looked at Mekel and Augustus with an unkind expression.
The hostile gazes made the hairs of both of them stand on end.
Before, when they transformed into wolves and cats, it was just a title, and it was considered a system within the hotel. But now that they have obtained the ‘demon’ camp, they naturally attracted Nezha Ling’s attention!
"Brother, there are two little demons in your team... let me kill them for you."
Nezha Ling said, he will never allow anyone to disrupt the funeral!
Originally, this scenic spot was a place where the Yin army was hostile to the tourists. The forces were fairly balanced and Nezha Ling could not interfere.
But now, a 'monster' appeared on the passenger side, and two of the three parties wanted to disrupt the funeral. It is normal for the relatively dominant monster side to gain the hostility of Nezha Ling.
Nezha Ling is too strong. Normally, even if there is hostility, he cannot take action. But he recognized Wei Xun as his younger brother.
All kinds of cause and effect are connected. What Nezha Ling just said is true, he can really do it!
"fine."
Of course Wei Xun felt Nezha Ling's murderous intent, and he wrote lightly: "It's just for fun, it's fun to raise some monsters."
As he said this, he waved to Yu Hehui, and Yu Hehui turned into a fox and jumped into Wei Xun's arms. Although the pure white fox is not fully grown and still has some fat, its luxurious and beautiful appearance can already be seen.
"You do like to raise monsters."
Nezha Ling glanced at him sideways, not saying whether he believed it or not, but he could tell that Wei Xun didn't want him to do anything.
They were just two little demons, not too strong to make him and Wei Xun get into trouble over this.
"It's up to you...but if you let them cause trouble, I will never forgive you."
As soon as he said these threatening words, the black cat group suddenly trembled, with its tail between its legs and its ears curled up, it slipped out of the Zhi Family Courtyard without looking back, its back looking indescribably desolate. Augustus gritted his teeth, but stood still and did not leave.
Unlike Mekel, it can be seen from the hotel prompts that he, Augustus, can continue to hide.
He couldn't leave. Mia and Orlean were so weak. If he left, they would definitely be bullied and excluded by the people in the East District.
Besides, judging from the hotel's tips, there should be accomplices in the 'monster camp'. He could stay here to see the situation.
Augustus gritted his teeth and held on without retreating.
Seeing that he didn't leave, Nezha Ling snorted coldly, but he didn't make a move just after he promised Wei Xun. He was too lazy to watch anymore, and his figure gradually disappeared. But he said at the end:
"You like plush animals, you are really a child."
Wei Xun didn't care about him. He wanted to have more plush animals under his command, not all kinds of bugs. It would be good to change his taste.
In addition to Yu and Hui, the one who had the most plush animals he had contact with was An Xuefeng. No one was a real beast, so who could he reason with?
"Start killing."
October 10th listened carefully and heard Zhou Xiyang's voice in the spirit shed. He was shouting the words "dodge nails--".
The killing button is the nail for the descendants. There were originally special nailers for the coffin, but this time it was all done by the Taoist Banming. Every time he knocked, the filial son Zhou Xiyang, who was kneeling in front of the spirit, shouted to avoid the nail. When the seven descendants were nailed, it was time for the funeral.
October 10th nodded slightly to Wei Xun, and then walked towards Augustus. They had to carry the coffin next. Wei Xun watched as a dozen servants of the Zhi family carried the golden coffin cover and waited outside the spirit shed.
The coffin cover looked like a sedan chair, and it was composed of a total of 24 cover pieces. From the outside, it looked like there were nine layers. Each layer was embroidered with various auspicious patterns and various good deeds done by "Grandpa Zhi" during his lifetime with gold and silver threads. The cover piece in the front was embroidered with a dragon head.
Men embroidered dragons, women embroidered phoenixes.
As soon as the coffin cover came out, the originally rainy sky showed signs of clearing up. The skylight reflected on the coffin cover, making it shine brightly and glitteringly. The breeze fluttered and the cover trembled slightly. At first glance, it looked like a coiled golden dragon! The luxurious coffin cover covered the coffin and could not be opened until after the funeral palace.
At the same time, thirty ghost poles appeared silently in front of the mourning shed, turning into thirty tall and thin figures, as if they were all carved from the same mold.
Sixty-four large poles were used for the funeral, and thirty-two poles were needed to carry it from the door to the street to become a "small funeral". After waiting for the street, another thirty-two poles were added, for a total of sixty-four poles. There is a common name for this among the people, called "adding dragon poles".
"Snap!"
A crisp sound came from the rattle in Mia's hand. The pole head held the rattle, and the small funeral used a small pole with a single ruler. When it reached the street, it changed to a large pole with a double ruler. Mia did not make any mistakes in this regard.
The pole bearers entered the mourning shed, and at the same time, the "filial sons and grandsons" filed out and knelt in front of the mourning shed according to their seniority. Zhou Xiyang fell to his knees, crying bitterly. He held the pottery basin in his hand and dropped it heavily.
"Bang!"
The moment the pottery basin slipped out of his hand, a wisp of black air emerged from the ground and rushed up, trying to hold the pottery basin like a buffer to prevent it from breaking. Zhou Xiyang's eyes were sharp, and a dark red light flashed in his eyes. The sunset light defeated the Yin Qi.
"Crack!"
The pottery basin fell to the ground and shattered into countless petals. Then there was a call from the pallbearers in the mourning shed. The half-life Taoist priest was in front, scattering paper money, October 10th was in front, Augustus was in the back, and the other pallbearers were in their positions, carrying the coffin out of the mourning shed.
The old housekeeper and the servants of the Zhi family immediately stepped forward and gently covered the coffin cover on the coffin. At this moment, the sky, which had been clear at first, was suddenly covered with thick clouds, just like late at night. In the darkness, it seemed that there were six extremely tall and huge shadows reflected between heaven and earth, staring at them from all directions, glaring at them.
It was the projection of the six Yincha, with great power! There was also a demonic aura rising into the sky, vaguely condensing into the demonic shadow of a vicious black cat.
But the passengers were not afraid at all! As a filial son, Zhou Xiyang stood at the front with a banner, fearlessly looking at the phantom.
"The spirit is coming out——"
The loud and sharp voice of the Half-Life Taoist echoed between heaven and earth.
The funeral of the Zhi family officially began!
