My master is the coffin

Chapter 46 Midnight Singing
Zhang Yuan still tied Wu with the paper, chattering like Mrs. Xianglin.And I stood by the door with Abbot He.Watching those old men and old ladies fighting with glee.

After a while, maybe these three people also felt that their legs and feet were not flexible enough to fight, or they were worried that the coffin they got would be taken advantage of by others.So, they unanimously took out the elderly machine.

A few calls were made, and 10 minutes later, three groups of people came, including men, women and children, who should be the family members of the three elderly people.

As soon as these people came up, they didn't talk much, and after reporting each other's family names, they started fighting.

The old lady was alone and alone, but the two old men were good brothers.The so-called brothers are like siblings, and women are like clothes.The old lady's family was beaten by the other two partners and fled.

These people escaped, but they were unwilling, so they took out their phones and dialed a few numbers.Moments later, sirens blared and the police arrived.

The two policemen who got out of the police car were also stunned when they saw the team of dozens of people.Take back the handcuffs you took out.Change suppression to Fu.Comfort everyone: "The folks have something to discuss. Fighting hurts the body. Why did you fight?"

The old lady pointed to the coffin confidently and said, "I saw it first."

The two old men said, "We got it first."

The three of them quarreled again.

The two policemen started to quarrel with each other, advocating that the coffin should be sold for cash, and then the three of them would share it equally.A dozen or so people quarreled and tossed for a long time, signing contracts and making deposits, and finally got the two coffins away.

The abbot and I were delighted to watch this great play, and we were full of praise.Back to the temple, had dinner, and fell asleep peacefully.

I slept soundly that night, but Zhang Yuan kept mumbling outside, lamenting that he could not save his daughter, which woke me up two or three times.

Early the next morning, the abbot opened the temple gate to do business again.Suddenly, he looked back at me and blinked: "Guess, is there any coffin left today?"

After the abbot finished speaking, he strode out of the Dasheng Temple without waiting for my answer.A few seconds later, I heard him start yelling again.

I asked loudly: "What's the matter? Someone put the coffin again?"

The abbot blushed with anger, and went back to the temple to get a box of matches: "It's not a coffin, but two wreaths. They should be placed on both sides of the gate, one on the left and one on the right. I'll go and burn them."

The abbot went out angrily.Zhi Zha Wu waved his hand and called me over: "Xu You, there is something wrong with this situation, no one will send wreaths to the Dasheng Temple properly."

I asked cautiously, "What do you think is going on?"

Zhi Zha Wu shook his head: "I don't know, but we'd better be careful, pay attention when we sleep at night, and call someone if something happens."

I nervously nodded in agreement.

I don't know if it's because of Zhi Zha Wu's words, or if there is really something abnormal.I slept very restlessly that night, tossing and turning, and could not fall asleep.

In the middle of the night, I was so sleepy that I heard a knock on the door outside, and then there was a very light footstep walking slowly in the yard.

I can tell that this person is trying to hide his footsteps, but unfortunately, I still hear them.

I was wondering who this person was in my heart.Suddenly, I found that this person seemed to be walking towards my room.

I was nervous for a while, and quickly closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.

It's getting closer, and it's getting closer.That's right, the man arrived at my door.Then, my door was gently pushed open.

I reached out and touched the mahogany sword under the bed, ready to jump up and stab the sword at any time.

I opened my eyes slightly, and saw a tall figure rushing towards my bed.

With a muffled grunt, I jumped up from the bed, stretched out my hand and stabbed the man's throat.

Unexpectedly, before my sword could pierce the man, the man fell to the ground with a thump and whispered, "It's me, it's me, I'm the abbot."

When I heard the voice, it was indeed the abbot.Hastily struck a match, trying to light the lamp.

But the abbot blew out the lamp with one gulp.

I grabbed his collar: "What are you doing?"

The abbot hissed: "Don't say anything. You can't light the lamp. If you light the lamp, the target will be exposed."

Seeing that he spoke mysteriously, I asked, "What target did you leak?"

The abbot sat on my bed in the dark, and said confidently: "The night before yesterday, we threw away the coffin. As a result, someone placed a wreath the next morning. I thought about it in the middle of the night, and this person must have thrown those coffins at night. put things outside."

I also sat on the bed: "Does this have anything to do with you coming into my room at night?"

The abbot stroked his bald head: "I'm going to sit on the sidelines with you and see which bastard is so wicked."

I felt a little guilty: "I dare not. Zhi Zha Wu said that something is wrong with this matter."

The abbot clicked his tongue: "You have been with Zhizhawu for so long, he didn't learn the craft of making paper figurines, but he learned the characteristics of being as timid as a mouse well."

I sighed: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself, anyway, I will not step out of the Dasheng Temple."

The abbot patted his thigh: "So, how about the two of us standing at the door? If someone puts the coffin and draws a circle, we can see it too."

I yawned: "It's in the middle of the night, what kind of evil is this?"

But after all, I followed the abbot out of the house.Because I'm also curious as to who is doing the damage all the time.

The night at the turn of spring and summer is not cold, and there are gusts of night wind. I sit at the gate, blowing the wind, and I feel very comfortable.

The abbot next to him kept muttering: "Who is doing the damage all the time? The nearby Guanyin Hall? Guandi Temple? Or the Earth Temple? It's all possible. These people are really shameless for fighting for incense..."

I heard the abbot muttering in a low voice, and I was drowsy. Suddenly, the abbot pushed me and whispered urgently in my ear: "Here we come, we come. Look."

I opened my eyes and saw a huge black shadow appearing in the distance, slowly moving towards the Dasheng Temple.

The night was dim, and it was impossible to see what it was.I asked the abbot in surprise, "Can you see what it is?"

The abbot is not like me, who has been studying for so many years, and his eyesight is still very good.He glanced in that direction twice, and then said suspiciously, "It looks like a tractor."

I rubbed my eyes, it does look a bit like a tractor.

Suddenly, the abbot's voice began to tremble: "Xu You, let's go back."

I was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

The abbot said tremblingly, "This tractor has no sound."

Hearing what the abbot said, I was also surprised: "That's right, why is there no sound from this tractor?"

As we all know, tractors burn diesel.Once opened, it is simply earth-shattering.It can't be as quiet as it is now, without a sound.

The abbot wanted to leave.But I stopped him: "Abbot, there must be something wrong with this tractor. Hide it well and don't make a sound. I want to see what's wrong with it."

The tractor was going very slowly.As the distance got closer, I gradually saw clearly.There is a person sitting upright on this tractor.He stared straight ahead and remained motionless. For a moment, I even suspected that he was a paper man.

The tractor stopped quietly at the gate of Dasheng Temple.Then, the man jumped out of the car.He took out a few paper figurines and horses from the carriage, and placed them on both sides of the Dasheng Temple.

I looked at the silent tractors, and those paper men and paper horses.I couldn't help but feel my scalp go numb: "What the hell?"

Originally, the abbot and I wanted to come out and arrest people.Now the person showed up as promised, but the two of us didn't have the courage to show up.

The man took the paper figurine and paper horse from the cart.I bowed to the gate of the temple. , and then counted with his fingers: "Two coffins were delivered the day before yesterday, and two wreaths were delivered yesterday. Today is a paper man and paper horse. Tomorrow, I will send paper money. Well, it's almost the same. The two dead people in the temple should also be buried."

Hearing this, the abbot and I were sweating all over our bodies: "The two dead people in the temple? What do you mean? Who are the dead people?"

I looked at the abbot, and the abbot also looked at me.We both saw distrust in each other's eyes.

The abbot hesitated and said: "Xu You, you believe me, I am a living person."

I nodded: "I am also a living person."

At this time, an idea suddenly came to my mind, and I pointed to the man: "Should we follow him? Find out what he does and where he lives. If this tractor drives into the cemetery, then he is Ghost, let's dig his grave. If he drives into the community, he is a human being, so we'll beat him up and ask him what he means."

The abbot nodded, and then stopped me with skill: "Xu You, you forgot? Your master told you to be careful these two days, and don't go out of the temple gate if you have nothing to do."

I thought about it, and took out two ghost-suppressing charms from my pocket: "Don't worry, we have this. Those ghosts dare not do anything to me."

The abbot was overjoyed: "That's good. Come, give me one."

Seeing the man sitting on the tractor again, he drove forward silently.

The abbot and I followed behind him cautiously.Fortunately, the tractor was moving very slowly, and we were able to keep up.

This tractor did not drive towards the urban area, but went to the suburbs.Moreover, the more you go, the more remote you go.

The two of us followed for a while, and found a large area of ​​lights in front of us, like a village.

The abbot hesitated a little: "Xu You, there shouldn't be another coffin shop in front."

I shook my head: "Impossible, this is obviously not the village of the previous two days. Let's go and see if there is anything wrong, come back right away."

The abbot nodded.

As I got closer to the village, I heard a burst of music, with gongs and drums, erhu and horns.This voice is a bit like singing.

Sure enough, after walking a few more steps, I heard the sound of singing.With a long tone, sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low-pitched in the night.

The abbot and I looked at each other in dismay: "Who is singing at night? How come there are gongs and drums to cooperate?"
