Mysterious Resurrection

Chapter 173 The Butcher Comes
Both Lu An and Peng Fang saw the old man's hands clasping the edge of the door beating the beat on the stage, as if he could not extricate himself from the sound of Lu An and Peng Fang's singing.

Lu An placed the gold and silver ingots in the previously arranged positions, and covered the old man again with the white cloth of the corpse. At this time, the next day has entered the window period
The task of encoffining the dead has been completed, and the task of singing opera has also ended, and now it seems that there is nothing left to do
Lu An and Peng Fang returned to the house to continue to rest, while Brother Hua and Wang Shengli stayed in the mourning hall to guard
It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was about to rest. Everyone gathered in the mourning hall. At this time, after experiencing yesterday's ghost invasion, the number of people has changed a lot
When they first entered Fengmen Village, Lu An, Peng Fang, eight messengers, and two ordinary people on the bus
On the night when he first entered Fengmen Village, Wang Shengli's younger brother Wang Chenggong died, and at the same time Lu An also got rid of the miner who was possessed by a ghost.Immediately after that was the drunk man, then the messenger Wang Changyun, and the ghost master Yang Li on the bus.

At this time, there are only eight survivors left, and only six of the eight messengers are left. The two ordinary people who have not been exposed to supernatural events are all dead, and Yang Li on the bus is also dead.
There are only six messengers, Lu An and Peng Fang, who are still alive. Although the dead are ordinary people except Yang Li, five people died just by putting on shrouds and reporting the funeral. Today's encoffining should be If it is considered safe, then there are still five days left, and it will definitely become more and more terrifying in the future
Everyone can feel the reduction in the number of people, especially those ordinary messengers, who are even more uncertain about whether they can survive to the end of the delivery mission and then leave the spiritual land alive

Their hearts are the most uncertain. Lu An felt the heavy atmosphere, but he didn't say much. Lu An can leave at any time, but these messengers cannot
Lu An used Huang Quan to take Peng Fang away from here, because the mission of the theater failed this time, and these messengers would be wiped out by the post office's supernatural power
The reason why Lu An has been persisting is because this place is the opportunity for him to control the third ghost. In Fengmen Village, a supernatural place, there is a ghost suitable for him.
Because of the particularity of Lu An's own control of ghosts, it is almost impossible to find a suitable third ghost. If it fails, his own balance will be broken, so he doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

At this moment, a rough voice sounded outside
"Master's family, are you there?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the door of the house, and Lu An approached first. He saw a man with a round belly on his head, looking a bit rough.

But Geng Tiancheng, who was following behind, was a little uneasy, because he felt that this rough man looked exactly like the butcher ghost he met before.

Geng Tiancheng naturally knows that ghosts cannot be killed. Although he managed to restrain the butcher in the end, the butcher ghost's last knife still cut off his head. Although he was resurrected with special spiritual props, that the pain is real
Geng Tiancheng couldn't help but took a step back. He stood behind the crowd, his eyes averted a little. At this moment, he didn't dare to expose him in front of this rough man. What if he just looks alike?
"What's the matter?" Lu An asked
"I am a pig butcher in the village. My master asked me to kill a sheep and a pig, but the pigs and sheep ran away. I am alone in such a big village, and it is difficult to find them, so I would like to ask you to find the sheep and pigs." Then send it over." The rough man said.

The rough man turned around and left as soon as he finished speaking. There was no time for everyone to react. When Lu An chased him out, he found that there was no trace of this man on the road.
Lu An could only return to the house resentfully, his heart was full of doubts at this time, today's task is to bury, this rough man said he was going to prepare cows and pigs, so tomorrow is to send the ghost of the dead on the road?
"What should we do? Are we really looking for cows and sheep?" Cui Zisheng asked

Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at Lu An with unison.

"I told you before that when I reported the funeral, I met a butcher ghost, and the appearance of the rough man just now was exactly the same as the ghost I met. The only difference may be this rough man. You don't have a butcher's knife in your hand." Geng Tiancheng said
Everyone was shocked. The butcher ghost knew that Geng Tiancheng's description to them was extremely terrifying, but just now it appeared directly outside the courtyard

"Are you sure?" Lu An said
"Very sure, didn't you find that the rough man didn't tell us where his home is? Even if we found the cattle and sheep, where would we send them? So only the yard where I met him before." Geng Tiancheng is analyzing
"The problem now is that I don't know how to find the cows and sheep, and then let that rough man slaughter them. Which step of the seven days is this? If you make a mistake, everything that follows will change." Lu Andao
"In fact, there is no need to worry too much about this. We only need to find the cattle and sheep now. As for when this rough man will bring the slaughtered beef and mutton, it should be something that will be done someday." Hua Ge said
"That's the only way to go. The search for cattle and sheep should be within the scope of the entire village, including the scope of the back mountain. There may be some dangers. Let's discuss the candidates." Lu An said.
Lu An didn't expect these ordinary couriers to be of help. In this level of delivery tasks, they almost only had to deliver food. It would be pretty good to be alive, let alone looking for cattle and sheep. If you encounter ghosts on the way, there is a high probability that they will die
What is currently going on is Rulian. From the time I first arrived in this Fengmen village, I began to wash the face and put on the shroud for the old man, to report the funeral on the first day, and to encoffin the old man today.
The seventh day is the first seven resurrection days, and the sixth day is the day for the old man to be buried, so the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day are not clear, because the customs of different places are different, if you do it at the right time Wrong things, the original rules will be broken
Lu An guessed that the third day or the fourth day must be the third day, and the paper figurines and candles placed in the mourning hall were used to give the deceased a way out.
The mutton and pork slaughtered by the butcher should be used to bribe the bad guys. According to folklore, in order to prevent the dead from being bullied by ghosts and little ghosts on the road after death, it is necessary to bribe the bad guys at this time to prevent the dead from being bullied.
Things like paper figurines, paper horses, and incense candles are for the dead to live well in another world, but these are the sayings of the older generation, and they are also rules

"Peng Fang and Geng Tiancheng stayed and guarded, Wang Shengli, Cui Zisheng, Chen Hua and I, the four of us went to look for cattle and sheep." Lu An said
