Sky coffin

On the way, Xu Tianxuan told me that she had found the God of Death.

I asked in a low voice who it was, and she glanced at Zhang Ke who was sitting in the passenger seat.

I was a little surprised. Did I find the God of Void Death so easily?

No, it should be said that he brought it to the door on his own initiative.

Xu Tianxuan whispered to me again: "He is the last one, and destiny cannot be violated, so we must find ways to prevent his death."

I nodded. This situation was indeed troublesome. It wasn't like a ghost was causing trouble. It was destiny.

God wants him to die, and no one can change it.

Zhang Ke's hometown is located in a rural area in a ravine. I heard from Zhang Ke that roads have been opened in the past two years. The mountain the village relies on is a large coal field, and coal kilns and brick factories have sprung up, making life easier for the people.

Soon, we arrived at Zhang Ke’s hometown.

The door of Zhang Ke's house was strewn with paper money, and there were even a lot of them hanging on the branches of the big trees.

I don't know if it was a psychological feeling, but I felt a musty smell before I even entered the door, and the yard was eerie and filled with biting cold air.

Coupled with the hazy weather, this feeling is even more intense.

When I walked into the yard, I saw two men squatting by the wall and smoking. There was a mourning hall in the middle of the yard. The paper ashes in the brazier were wet with rain and became dark and turbid.

When one of the men saw Zhang Ke coming back, he quickly stepped forward and asked: "Lao San, you are back. How is Xiaojie's matter handled?"

Zhang Ke let out a long sigh and replied: "The body has been cremated. After our father's funeral, the funeral will be held in the city."

Rural old people pay attention to returning to their roots after falling leaves, but Zhang Ke doesn't think so. Cremation and burial are the best in his opinion.

Boss Zhang nodded, turned his attention to us, and asked doubtfully: "Xiao Ke, who are these people?"

Zhang Ke explained: "This is the famous Master Tianxuan in Tianfu City. She is here to help our father with his funeral."

As soon as these words came out, Boss Zhang was stunned on the spot.

"Master Tianxuan!"

Obviously, he has also heard of Xu Tianxuan.

Boss Zhang stepped forward and exchanged pleasantries.

Xu Tianxuan just nodded politely.

At this time, Zhang Lao Er pinched off the cigarette in his hand, walked over and said, "Lao Er, go and see our mother. She has become even weirder since Xiaojie and our father left."

Zhang Ke nodded and looked at Xu Tianxuan.

Xu Tianxuan said calmly: "Let me see the old man's body first."

Zhang Ke led Xu Tianxuan to the mourning hall. According to rural customs, the coffin must be kept in the coffin for three days after death before being buried.

The coffin was wide open, and inside lay an old man. The old man was neatly dressed and dressed in a black shroud. He was clean-shaven and his mouth was slightly open, with a copper coin in his mouth.

When Xu Tianxuan saw the copper coin, his brows instantly furrowed and he asked, "Who placed this copper coin?"

Boss Zhang replied: "It's my mother."

"Take it out. Do you and your family want to die?"

The three Zhang brothers looked at Xu Tianxuan blankly.

They didn't understand why Xu Tianxuan said such things.

Xu Tianxuan explained: "After death, there will be a breath stuck in the throat. This breath is called haoqi. After death, the breath will be exhaled at a specific time. This process is called haoqi."

"You put copper coins in his mouth to stop the scourge. The scourge will settle in the body and eventually turn into corpse qi, and he will become a zombie."

When I mentioned zombies, I subconsciously looked at Hua Xiu. I saw Hua Xiu holding a red oil-paper umbrella, noble like a princess, standing quietly not far away.

"Okay, okay! Let's take out the copper coins right now."

Boss Zhang quickly started to take out the copper coins.

"Stop! You can't do this!"
