My master is invincible

Chapter 266 The Empty Coffin (32)
With this in mind, I walked over to Wang Fangmin, who was carrying the coffin. He was carrying the coffin out of the main room. When he saw me coming, he asked suspiciously while carrying the coffin, "What's wrong?"

I looked at the coffin and touched it with my hand. I didn't feel anything special, so I asked him, "Is the coffin heavy?"

He shook his head, walked forward, and said, "It's not heavy."

I let out an 'oh', followed his footsteps, and asked him, "Compared to the usual coffins, is this coffin particularly light?"

I was afraid that he might misunderstand me, so I added, "I mean the usual empty coffin."

He was silent for a while, put one hand on the dragon frame, and said: "It seems to be lighter than ordinary empty coffins, only about a hundred catties, is there any problem?"

I thought about it, and said: "When you pass by the river, tell the coffin bearers not to think about it, and put all your thoughts on the coffin and the white cloth on your arms. Don't lose it." gone."

The reason why I say this is because I have some worries in my heart.Before the funeral, I have seen this coffin, it is no different from ordinary coffins, 182cmX78cmX62cm, completely black, nothing special. (Note: 182 is the length of the coffin, 28 is the width, and 62 is the height. This is the smallest coffin.)
Hearing what he said now, it only weighs a hundred catties, which is lighter than an ordinary empty coffin, which is a bit abnormal.I was afraid that some strange things would happen when passing by the river, so I asked them to pay attention to the white cloth on their arms. The white cloth is the symbol of our Eight Immortals, just like the word "police" on the arms of the police when they are on duty, which has the same effect.

After greeting Wang Fangmin, I carried the gong and beat it all the way towards the funeral route.

The journey went smoothly, just like ordinary funerals, Qingxuanzi led the way, and the deceased's relatives surrounded the coffin while beating and crying.Because there are too many funerals, I have become numb to this kind of wailing. To my ears, the wailing sounds like ordinary speech.

Walking, walking, I arrived at the river without knowing it. I was worried that something might happen, so I took the flashlight from the villager in charge of lighting and shone on the river.

The riverside is unusually quiet, and the water surface is flowing slowly as usual, with occasional 'hoo hoo' sounds, which are the sound of water waves beating on the shore.

After staring at the river for a while, but found nothing, I couldn't help thinking to myself, is my worry unnecessary?
Because I watched by the river for a while, the funeral procession had already gone some distance, I strode up to follow, looking at the coffin-carrying coffin, yellow paper throwing yellow paper, wailing wailing, everything is so Naturally, this relieved my tense nerves a lot.

We walked by the river for about ten minutes, and came to a place where the deceased fell into the river at the beginning. My heart was very heavy, so I told them not to get close to the river as much as possible.

Those who carried the coffin were also very jealous of this, and they could not help turning their feet to the right to keep a certain distance between themselves and the river.

Looking back now, there are some things, even if you want to avoid them, you can't avoid God's will, because God has already predestined, and human power can't compete.

The group of us who sent the funeral walked forward cautiously. Only Wang Cheng was a family of four. I don’t know if they were hurt by the scene or missed the deceased too much. , "My mother, my son has not had time to be filial, and he has already separated from you, his son is not filial!"

As soon as the sound came out, I was really shocked, and immediately ran to them and said, "Don't cry here, it's bad luck, and hurry back to the funeral procession."

They ignored me, just knelt there and cried, which made me a little embarrassed, so I was going to use brute force to pull them back to the team.

Coincidentally, when I was about to pull Wang Chengcai, I saw something unusual on the surface of the river. I saw that the surface of the river in the dark, under the light of the flashlight, flickered, and a white thing the size of a thumb appeared. I didn't care about it either, so I was about to turn around, but I didn't know that there were more and more white things floating, and within a few seconds, the white area became bigger and bigger, about three inches long.

I was a little curious about something, so I took a flashlight and pointed it in that direction. After a closer look, the white thing, with round ends, looked very much like a human foot bone.

Immediately afterwards, pieces of white bones, like spring bamboo after rain, all floated out, floating densely on the water surface, looking chilling and creepy.

I thought I was the only one who saw this scene. I raised my eyes to look at Wang Chengcai's family, and saw that there were four members of their family, their eyes were wide open, and they were looking at the river in horror. Obviously, they also found out.

Suddenly, a particularly ear-piercing sound came, the sound was so strange, like the sound of water waves hitting the river, and it was a bit like the sound of people talking, it was difficult to distinguish.

I was very suspicious, and listened carefully, the place where the sound came from was very close to me, could it be nearby?

Suppressing the fear in my heart, I took a look around with the flashlight and found that the bones on the river surface were entangled with each other under the impact of the current, weaving a strange sound.

Listen, listen, I feel that the voice has changed a bit, I can't tell if it's an auditory hallucination, or what's going on, I vaguely feel a bit like the voice of a middle-aged man, and when I listen carefully, I feel that the voice seems to be shouting A word of 'injustice'.

This discovery made me stand there in a daze, my back was chilly, I was sweating, and I had goosebumps on my arms, what's going on?The middle-aged man complained?If the voice happened to resemble the word 'injustice', I wouldn't believe it if I was killed. There are so many coincidences in the world.

"Brother Jiu, what's going on?" Wang Xi stopped crying and walked in front of me, his voice trembling violently.

I pointed to the white bones on the river and said, "It seems to be human bones."

"It can't be grandma's bones, right?" he asked tremblingly.

I shook my head and said: "The deceased has only been dead for a few days, and the corpse cannot decompose so quickly. Besides, these bones have already floated out, which means that the bones are extremely light, and the substances inside will be drained by running water. In the river, at least 20 years, maybe even farther."

"It's been so long? Who could it be? Ever since I became governor, I remember that no one has ever drowned in this river. It's really strange." He muttered in a low voice.

I didn't pay attention to him either. I stared straight at the bones, my mind was full of doubts. When I carried the coffin past here, those bones floated out. Is this a coincidence?What's the matter?

For a while, I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I wanted to fish up those bones. After all, when we Eight Immortals encounter these unowned bones, we will have some kind thoughts in our hearts, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for ourselves.
