My master is invincible

Chapter 245 Empty Coffin (11)

I glared at Fatty Guo, and said angrily: "If there is a way, I will definitely help her. The problem is, the old man may have offended the gods. How can we help? There is only one way to die, find him."

After finishing speaking, I didn't say anything to him, and went straight to the river. Fatty Guo and Stutter followed, and Wang Chuyao and the middle-aged woman knelt under the ancestral tablet to pray.

When they came to the river, Wang Xi and his son were lying on the ground with only a pair of underpants on. Their faces were pale, their limbs were purple with cold, and they were breathing heavily.

"How is it? Did you find it?" I took off my clothes and covered them, and asked softly.

"No!" Wang Xi shook his head and said, "I searched all night, from upstream to downstream, but I didn't find grandma's body."

"Hey!" I sighed, and said, "Maybe it's God's will! Go back and warm up first, and we'll look for it for you by the river."

"What bullshit is God's will?" Wang Xi's father scolded, got up from the ground, picked up the bamboo stick beside him, walked towards the door, and said to Wang Xi: "You rest for a while, I will go to the river again Look for it, you can't let your grandma freeze to death in the river."

"Dad, I've had enough rest, let's go with you." Wang Xi threw the clothes to me and walked towards the door.

Looking at the father and son in front of me, I felt a little bitter. In order to find the corpse of their ancestors, these two people went down the river in a self-tortured manner. .

So, I gave Guo Fatty and the others a look, meaning to hold them back, and said: "Listen to me, some things are predestined by the heavens. We ordinary people, if we can't bear that fate, we might as well rest and use another One way is to hold a funeral for the old man, maybe the old man's body will appear by itself."

When they heard what I said, their faces turned serious, and they asked doubtfully, "What method?"

"Have you ever heard of cloak mounds?" I said.

They nodded, and Wang Xi said, "When I was studying, I seem to have heard the teacher say that in ancient times, if the corpses disappeared, later generations would build a tomb. Is that what you mean?"

"Yeah!" I nodded and said, "It's almost like this. Your grandma's body is gone. If you're superstitious, it's taken away by the 'Dragon Lord'. If you're scientific, it's gone somewhere by the river. , if you continue to search, you will definitely not be able to find it within a few days. Let me ask, how many days can you carry naked in winter? In my opinion, set up a tomb to comfort the old man's spirit in the sky, and let her love and resentment during her lifetime Resentment, with the disappearance of the body, the ashes disappeared, in order to have a good birth in the next life."

This is also a helpless move on my part. There is an evil spirit everywhere in this matter. If I forcefully search for the corpse, it will definitely cause disaster. I don't want to see this filial father and son have an accident, so I gave them such an idea.

"Bullshit, as a son of man, how can you let the old mother's body sink in the river, and make some kind of clothes tomb, a coffin without a corpse, is that a coffin, don't let the thunder strike it." Wang Xi's father was more stubborn. , insisted on going down the river to find the corpse.

"Old uncle, please listen to my advice. Some things are very evil. There must be a reason for the disappearance of the old man's body. Think about why there was a sudden 'tornado' last night. Your old mother has inconvenient legs and feet. Come to the river?" I stepped forward and grabbed his arm.

He froze for a moment and said, "I don't care about that. For me, as a son of man, if I don't find the old mother's body, it's a big treason. I, Wang Cheng, can't do such a big treasonous thing."

Hearing what he said, I feel a little helpless. The current situation is very obvious. It is obviously impossible to find the old man's body. Even if it is scientifically speaking, the old man's body drifted somewhere in one night. , It is not impossible that it may flow into the Xiangjiang River, the vast sea?Where to find the body?
However, I patiently explained to him and said, "There are some things you can't help but believe. Let's go to the main room and ask the ancestors of your royal family. If they agree to let you continue to search, I will go back to the train immediately and I will never stop you. If you don't agree, you listen to my opinion and make a clothes grave."

To be honest, I am a little angry. This is very filial to the father and son, but it gives people a feeling of foolish filial piety.If it wasn't for their filial piety, I might have already left. People die every day in the world, so I can't care about it.What's more, they haven't handed over the funeral of the elderly to me. Personally speaking, this is not within the scope of my profession and has nothing to do with me.

He glanced at me suspiciously and said, "How do you ask your ancestors?"

I took out a pair of yin and yang hexagrams, raised it, and said, "You should be familiar with this thing! Let's use this thing to ask."

He stood there thinking for a while, then glanced around the river, with a solemn look on his face, and reluctantly said: "Okay! Just ask the ancestors what they mean."

I breathed a sigh of relief. If he refuses, I have no doubt that I will turn around and leave. As the Eight Immortals, we are only responsible for the dead. The premise is that the funeral must be handed over to us, and we will negotiate a good price with us. The dead are responsible.

However, this funeral, to put it bluntly, was just a verbal invitation from Wang Xi to come and take a look at it, and it was not formally handed over to me.If I give him an opinion, it's a favor. If I don't give an opinion, it's my duty. It's up to him to listen or not.

If he insists on going down the river, there is nothing I can do about it, and I will never speak more. After all, I have said what should be said, and I have a clear conscience.To be realistic, Wang Xi and I just met by chance, not great enough to work hard for a stranger.

Afterwards, the few of us returned to the village. As soon as Wang Xi and his son returned to the village, many villagers surrounded them. Wang Chuyao made a bowl of ginger soup for them, and brought an oven for them to keep warm. The family hugged each other After crying for a while, we went directly to the main room.

The main house in Waxhu Village is similar to ours, about twenty square meters, and the innermost one is an altar with some tributes and incense cups. , 'Sanhuai Hall', there is an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the main room, surrounded by four wooden stools.

After entering the main room, I bent down towards the altar, burned some yellow paper, and said a lot of good things. I waved to Wang Xi and his son behind me, signaling them to kneel down, and they knelt down. (Note: When asking ancestors, women cannot enter the main room.)
I saw the look on my face, raised my voice, and shouted: "The ten fingers are connected to the hearts of relatives, and I ask the ancestors with true feelings. The love is as precious as gold, but I ask the ancestors to give the will."
