Mysterious Resurrection

Chapter 152 Lighting the Longevity Candle

Lu An looked at the location of the portrait of the old man, a little unexpected, the photo on the portrait is a middle-aged man, it feels like the middle-aged appearance of the deceased, but the photo is vaguely similar to Master Lin
Maybe it's because of the father-son relationship, so they look a bit alike, but it doesn't rule out that Mr. Lin is the old man who died
The supernatural power itself is unexplainable, and this is a supernatural land, so it is normal for any unexpected things to happen
"Today is not the first day, so this day may not be affected by spiritual power, so it is very safe at this time." Lu An said
"Compared to this, I'm more curious about where the stage will be set up? It stands to reason that inviting a theater troupe to set up a stage to sing an opera is for the excitement and face." Peng Fang said
"It's either outside or in the house. If it's outside, it's really for fun and face, but if it's inside the house, then our opera is really only for the dead." Lu An said
Lu An, the miner beside Peng Fang and the living man who still smelled of alcohol did not explore like the others. They felt that it was safest to stay with Lu An
"According to the custom, although today is not the first day, someone still needs to stay to guard the spirit. After all, the corpse is here." Lu An said
"There is also longevity candle, which is said to be used to lead the way for the dead. It illuminates the way to the underworld to prevent the dead from getting lost. After death, there will be lights on the head and tails of the feet. This is to give the dead To illuminate the road, night watchmen generally have to turn on the lights in time to prevent the lights from going out. In addition, I don’t want the dead to feel that their relatives don’t take them seriously.”

"These are just legends, but now we have to preside over the funeral, and the older generation is very strict about the rules. Only when the funeral is strictly followed, will nothing terrible happen." Peng Fang said
"That's true, then the Longevity Candle should be in this mourning hall." Lu An said
Then Lu An and Peng Fang began to search. The miner and the drunk man seemed a little at a loss, but after thinking about it, they searched together.

The four of them rummaged through boxes and chests and finally found longevity candles in a drawer. There were seven candles in total. It seemed to be from tonight to the sixth day, and the sixth day was the time for the body to be buried.

Lu An came to the front where the dead bodies were placed, gently placed an eternal life candle on the ground, took out the lighter and lit it. In order to ensure that the eternal life candle would not fall easily, Lu An dropped the burning eternal life candle on the ground, and then put eternal life candle
The eternal life candle looks like an ordinary candle, but the burning speed is very slow, and after lighting the eternal life candle, the atmosphere in the mourning hall is obviously much warmer
At this moment, the people responsible for searching other rooms also returned to the mourning hall. After entering, they noticed that the mourning hall was warmer than before, and then saw the burning eternal candle
"Did you find anything?" Lu An said
"The two rooms we searched didn't have any unusual furniture, and there weren't any strange items worth noting." Hua Ge said
"The room that my brother and I searched is not there either, but it seems to be a place where farm tools and various tools are placed." The twin brother said
"The two rooms I searched gave people the impression of normal and ordinary farm houses, but it was this normality that revealed something unusual." said the lone wolf ghost master
Lu An turned his attention to Yang Li, after all, he also went out before

"I found something, it's a black shroud, it should be worn by the dead." Yang Lidao
"Take me to have a look." Lu An said
"it is good."

Lu An always felt that something was wrong, and now he finally figured it out. When he just uncovered the white cloth, he didn't see the shroud the old man was wearing.

Before, he thought that the so-called Mr. Lin didn't prepare a shroud for his father. It seems that he did, but this shroud needs Lu An and others to change it for the old man himself.
Everyone followed Yang Li out of the mourning hall. At this time, the mourning hall seemed empty. Before everyone noticed, a corner of the white cloth covering the old man was lifted, and the middle-aged man in the portrait changed quickly. turned into an old man

The candle flame of the longevity candle seemed to be brighter at a certain moment, and the corner of the white cloth that the old man lifted was covered back by some force, or it was covered back by the old man himself. There was only the appearance in the portrait, but he was still the old man look like.

Yang Li quickly led the crowd to a relatively remote room, where they saw a black shroud on the table, especially the big "Shou" embroidered in the middle of the clothes was very conspicuous
Lu An walked up quickly and picked up the black shroud with his right hand wearing a human leather glove. The right hand wearing a human leather glove can also be regarded as a ghost to some extent.
Even though the black shroud was in great danger, Lu An didn't touch the shroud, only his ghostly hands touched it.

"Let's go back to the mourning hall." Lu An said
Afterwards, everyone returned to the mourning hall. As soon as they entered the mourning hall, everyone saw that the portrait on the front had changed.
"It used to look like a middle-aged man, but now it looks like an old man?" The man who smelled of alcohol couldn't bear it and said
But the miner didn't open his mouth. Everyone thought that he might have been frightened. He was the only one left alive among the five companions. This feeling can only be experienced by those who have experienced it.

"Don't be nervous, at least it doesn't seem to have a big impact now, it's just that the portrait of the photo has changed." Lu An said
"Then should we change the old man's shroud now?" Peng Fang asked
"Well, it will be changed sooner or later, and currently only the longevity candle is given, and this black shroud. The longevity candle has been lit, so only the black shroud has not been replaced." Lu An said.
"According to my speculation, now we are equivalent to those who preside over all funeral affairs. Only when we don't break any funeral rules can we minimize the danger we encounter."

"Peng Fang, come and change the black shroud with me." Lu An said
"Don't you need our help?" Hua Ge said
"If there is a need, I will say it. This is only to minimize the risk." Lu An responded to Brother Hua
"By the way, find a clean basin. For water, bring mineral water. Use mineral water. Then there is a towel. Does anyone of you bring a towel?" Lu An asked while ordering
"I have a new one." Peng Fang took out a clean white towel from his backpack

"Then I'll look for a clean basin." Brother Hua said and left the mourning hall

After about five or six minutes, Brother Hua walked in with a plastic basin

"This pot is really hard to find. I found it under the bed in a room. The bottom of this room is covered with dust. I washed it many times." Brother Hua said
Lu An poured the prepared bottles of mineral water into the cleaned basin, and then put a clean white towel in it
