The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 29 The Story of Youshuishan
A month ago, it was indeed a very cold day, and there were some snowflakes.

To be precise, it was snow mixed with rain.

It was also the ninth day of the lunar new year, and Lu Qian also went to the market.But like the last time I went to the market, there was no business, so Lu Qian was very impressed with this day.

In the entire Wangjiaying market, after a whole day, only the tofu stall of the second sister Wang came to a few customers.

Among them, there was a customer whose footsteps were a little frivolous after he came out of the tofu workshop.

Holding an umbrella, he seemed to be walking with some difficulty. He walked on the muddy street, but only left very shallow footprints.

After Lu Qian saw it at the time, he felt a little strange.However, he didn't think much about it.

But now that I think about it, it is obvious that the man at that time was still full of flesh when he entered the door, but changed into a full belly of grass after he left.The weight is reduced, and of course it won't leave deep footprints in the mud.

While Lu Qian was thinking, You Shuishan continued:

"I was on my way that day, and it was getting dark, but I hadn't found the host, so I was a little anxious. You also know that it is very dangerous to stay outside at night."

Zuo Qiuling seemed to have been attracted by the beginning of Youshuishan's story, she nodded and asked, "And then?"

"Then? Then I lived in a temple. Well, it was a temple in the countryside. The temple was not big, and there was only one old monk living in it. At that time, the old monk was feeding me vegetable porridge. After drinking the porridge, He's gone."

You Shuishan's words seemed very out of the ordinary.Lu Qian looked at his face and guessed that he should have concealed his experience before entering the temple.

However, he didn't directly point it out.

You Shuishan continued: "At that time, it was already completely dark, and there was no light in the room. I was lying on the bed, completely awake from the wine, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning."

Lu Qian looked carefully at You Shuishan's face. The skin on his face was actually pretty good. Although it was a little dark, he didn't find any defects.

It doesn't look like it has been sucked by a sucker.

"I don't know when it was at night, but I suddenly heard some movement outside—"

This sentence successfully caught the attention of Lu Qian and Zuo Qiuling.

"I was also wondering at the time, who would come out of the house at night? Then, I lay down on the window and looked out. Good guy, it doesn't matter if you look at it, it almost scared me to death."

Zuo Qiuling couldn't help asking, "What did you see?"

You Shuishan said: "Don't worry, listen to me. That temple only has a small front yard. At that time, the sky was clear and the moon was still out, and the yard was not so dark. I saw that the yard was parked. a carriage.

When I saw this carriage, I realized that I was not the only pilgrim in this temple, and someone had already lived in it..."

Hearing this, Lu Qian speculated that Yu Shuishan was probably carried into this yard in a coma.Otherwise, there was a carriage in the yard, and he didn't see it until night?
The owner of the carriage obviously didn't live in the temple at night.

Youshuishan is on the road, what happened?

"The carriage didn't look too conspicuous. It was covered with a black raincloth, and a rectangular box seemed to be placed under the raincloth. I didn't know until later that it was a coffin."

"coffin?"

You Shuishan nodded, and said: "I was also very puzzled at the time, how could someone transport the coffin into the temple, could it be that they still expect the monk to exorcise evil spirits?"

In this world, if a person dies in a foreign country, they will basically be cremated on the spot, and at most the ashes will be brought back to their hometown.

It is naturally extremely rare to transport coffins on the road like this.

Before you could transport the corpse back home, it would have been transformed long ago.

You Shuishan said: "I didn't know at the time that the carriage was loaded with a coffin. I looked out the window and saw a man in black walking out of a room, walking to the side of the carriage, and opened the coffin. The black raincloth that covered the car revealed a black coffin covered underneath.

Then, the man in black pushed the coffin lid back a little and looked inside the coffin.

He looked into the coffin and asked:

Dad, can you still hold on? "

"what--"

Zuo Qiuling exclaimed, and immediately covered her mouth.

She looked at You Shuishan, and asked in surprise: "He...why did he put his father in the coffin?"

You Shuishan said in a cold tone: "When a person dies, he will naturally be put into a coffin."

Lu Qian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is he talking to a dead man?"

You Shuishan nodded, and said: "At first, I was just like Miss Zuo thought. I still couldn't figure out why this man put his father, a living person, into a coffin."

Lu Qian asked: "How did you know that the coffin contained a dead person?"

You Shuishan said quietly: "Because, I saw later that it sat up from the coffin."

The setting sun in the afternoon shone light into the room through the window lattice, and sprinkled it on people.

Lu Qian felt that the surface of his body was warmed by the sun, but his heart suddenly became cold, as if he had a large piece of ice in his arms.

He came back to his senses and asked, "You mean, the corpse in the coffin has changed, turned into a zombie?"

You Shuishan nodded, and said: "It should be. I have seen zombies before, and its appearance is somewhat similar to zombies, but... there are some differences."

Zuo Qiuling interjected, "I've heard that zombies have no sense, they are completely walking corpses, let alone recognize their sons."

Lu Qian turned his head to look, only to realize that at some point, Zuo Qiuling quietly picked up the stool with his buttocks and moved towards him, away from Youshuishan.

You Shuishan said: "This zombie is different, he will recognize his son."

Zuo Qiuling asked in surprise, "He... did he speak?"

You Shuishan shook his head and said: "That's not true. However, after he sat up, he made a 'click' sound from his throat towards the man in black, as if he was talking.

What's even more outrageous is that the man in black seemed to understand what he said.

After he finished listening, he said to the zombie:
I understand dad, you can rest assured that you are satisfied. "

Zuo Qiuling stared wide-eyed: "What then?"

You Shuishan said: "Then, that zombie father seemed very satisfied, and lay back in the coffin again.

And then, the man in black put the lid on the coffin, covered the coffin again with a black raincloth, turned around and went back to the room—”

Speaking of this, You Shuishan suddenly stopped.

The expression on his face suddenly became strange.

Lu Qian couldn't express that feeling for a while.

It seemed that Youshuishan suddenly became nervous at that moment, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

He looked at Zuo Qiuling, then turned his head to Lu Qian, and asked with that playful smile: "When he turned around, he turned his face to me, and I saw his face .Guess who he is?"

Lu Qian said without hesitation: "I wish the Patriarch of the family, I wish Shiheng."

You Shuishan shook his head, the expression on his face became even more strange.

He glanced at Zuo Qiuling again, then fixed his eyes on Lu Qian, and said word by word:

"That person is none other than me."
