My master is the coffin

Chapter 450

I looked at these wet people, they lined up and walked forward step by step.

These people rise and fall, and the frequency and movement are exactly the same.They walked to the entrance of the cave, and then took out the chains from their arms.

They hooked out the souls of those corpses, then locked them with iron chains, strung them into a string, and dragged them away.

This method is too familiar.I whispered: "Could it be that they are errands?"

I just said that.Suddenly, those errands stopped for two steps, and then they turned around and looked at us.

The old man looked nervous, and it seemed that he was quite frightened.

Those errands watched us for a while, but did nothing.Just walked forward slowly.

The old man let out a long sigh of relief as he looked at the errand going away.He lay down on the ground and kept complaining: "Young man, you almost killed us."

I asked, "What's the matter? I know those people just now, it's a errand."

The old man glanced at me and said, "I know it too. It's a errand. Don't think that we don't know anything because we are not cultivators."

I smiled slightly, leaning on the mound and asked, "What do you know?"

The old man proudly said: "We invited these errands. Of course we understand. Since these corpses survived for no reason, we went to the Earth Temple to burn paper. Because these are dead people, the Lord of the Land is in charge of the dead. In this way After burning the paper for two days, the land master appeared. Give us a dream and let us lock up all the dead bodies we encounter. Then there will be a messenger to collect them."

I wondered: "Is it that simple?"

The old man nodded and replied: "Of course, it's that simple. However, these errant masters are not little ghosts, they are all gods. We can't be neglected at all. After they leave, we have to go to the Earth Temple to fulfill our vows and burn paper offerings. The first two days One day, there was a child who didn't know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and shouted at the poor master: "Hurry up like a law. "As a result, this kid started to have a fever that night. He was talking nonsense and hysteria again. It took three days and three nights to get better."

I heard the old man's sound, so I couldn't help being a little curious: "The land master here is so effective? I have to meet him when I have time."

The old man waved his hand and said, "These evil spirits have been subdued. As usual, we will go to the Earth Temple to thank the Lord of the Earth. You can follow along."

I nodded.followed.

On the way, the old man said that at the beginning, these dead bodies were all newly dead, and many of them were their acquaintances.After the souls of these people were taken away, their bodies were reburied.

As a result, the corpses came back the next day.So, they simply burned the body.The poor local government has promoted cremation here for many years, fined and dug graves, but with little effect. Finally, because of a haunted incident, everyone consciously started cremation.

However, no matter how they burn the corpses, there will always be new corpses appearing at night, so they will never have peace at night, and they will toss around until midnight every day, cooperating with the errands to control those corpses.

We followed the village chief to the vicinity of the Earth Temple.The villagers knelt down in two rows, each holding a joss stick, and thanked the Land Lord devoutly.

I saw that the tribute in front contained wine, meat, dumplings, and fruit.I couldn't help but move my heart.

It seems that if man wants to degenerate, he will actually fall very quickly.For example, I am completely a beggar mentality now.When I see something delicious, I always think of getting something for nothing, so I take it away.As for integrity and dignity, they don't pay much attention to it.

I looked at the land master in the temple from a distance, it was just an ordinary clay sculpture.There is no land master on it at all.

I looked at the devout villagers and couldn't help but snort.

After half an hour, this set of respectful etiquette finally came to an end.The old man looked at Chang'e and me: "Don't think that we are villagers and you think we don't understand anything. In fact, we also understand. These shady masters who come to catch those souls every day are actually treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. You are cultivating Taoism." People, logically speaking, are the closest to the gods. Can you help us discuss it with the Bodhisattva, and say that we already know that we are wrong. Don’t punish us people anymore.”

Then, without waiting for Chang'e and me to answer, he enthusiastically dragged us to the village: "Come on, don't sleep in caves. I'll find you a place. A fresh trick, eat all over the world, you guys Those who are capable should enjoy the blessings."

I waved my hand and said, "Go first. I'll find you later."

Chang'e also stopped: "Then I won't go either."

I sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the statue of the land master: "You go first, I will find you later. I want to stay by myself for a while. You have been with me for several months, let me rest for a while OK?"

Chang'e was stunned for a moment, then nodded and followed the old man.She is very powerful, no one can hurt her, so I am very relieved.Similarly, she also knows that I can't avoid her, so she is also very relieved.

Before leaving, the old man said to me: "My house is the third house at the entrance of the village, the one with the red gate is there, don't go wrong."

I feebly agreed.

It was already dark by this time.There are no street lights in the village.The villagers had gone back, and I was left to sit in the dark.

I sighed, and reached out to take the wine in front of the land master.

Then, he raised his neck and took a sip.The chickens and ducks on the plate and the fruits in the basket were all made by me.

In the end, I was full of wine and food, and I was a little dizzy.

I lay down next to the idol, with my head resting on the land master's feet.Drowsily trying to fall asleep.

However, when sleepy.I suddenly smelled a ghost in my nose.This ghostly aura is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually, it tends to surround me.

Although I am decadent, although drunk.But after all, they are not ordinary people.

I stood up immediately.Discovered at this time.I have been surrounded by four or five people wearing bamboo hats.

These people were wet all over and still dripping water down their bodies.They are none other than the ghosts they just met.

I chuckled: "What kind of rhythm is this? Beating the dog in the water? Or being bullied by the dog when the tiger falls in Pingyang?"

I staggered to my feet, pointed at the errand and said, "What do you mean? What do you want?"

At this time, a person behind Yinchai said: "I heard that someone was so courageous that he ate the offerings for the gods. So, we brothers are curious to have a look. Who is so capable?"

I heard this voice quite familiar.He shouted: "Who is talking, stand up for me."

Sure enough, someone separated from the crowd, stood up, looked at me with a smile and said, "Xu You, don't come here without any problems."

When I saw this face, I immediately smiled: "Ghost messenger, why is it you? What are you doing here?"

The ghost made a tired look.He came over and said, "I'm an emissary of ghosts. I have to come wherever there is an emergency. Isn't that right? There's something wrong here, so I was ordered to take these errands and escort the troublesome evil spirits to the underworld. Today I I heard from the errand that there is a Taoist cultivator here, and his Taoism seems to be very powerful, so I came to have a look, but I didn't expect it to be you. Xu You, why are you messing up like this now? You look like a beggar."

I avoided the embarrassing question, and then diverted the conversation elsewhere, asking, "Why are there so many evil spirits here all of a sudden? Do you know what's going on?"

The ghost emissary shook his head: "I haven't checked it out yet. You know, there are places where we can't get in. However, it's definitely not what the villagers said. It's nonsense that some dung was poured on the statue. Now that you're here, Just help us check."

He just finished saying this, and suddenly waved his hand again: "No, no, I can't let you investigate. I have to come to this matter myself."

I ignored his soliloquy.

I sighed, and then said slightly sadly: "Wu Shuang is gone."

The Ghost Messenger looked a bit complicated, he glanced at me, and then asked, "Are you looking for Wushuang?"

I nodded, then glanced at him absent-mindedly: "You are always working in the world, have you seen Wushuang?"

The ghost emissary looked at me a little strangely, and he said, "Don't you know?"

I was a little anxious: "I don't know? I don't know what?"

The ghost emissary sighed, and said, "Xu You, don't look for Wushuang anymore, there is no such thing as Wushuang anymore."
