Sky coffin

I looked back and saw an old lady with an old face and silver hair standing in front of the mourning hall.

The old lady was leaning on a cane in her right hand and holding a small black box in her left hand.

The box is so simple and old that at first glance I thought it was an urn.

The old lady stared at us with a pair of sinister eyes.

Boss Zhang quickly stepped forward to help the old lady and said, "Mom, do you know who this is? She is Master Tianxuan! As long as she is here, my father will be able to rest in peace."

The old lady pushed Boss Zhang away and said coldly: "I don't believe in Master Tianxuan! I only believe in the eminent monk Guan Kong!"

Mr. Zhang quickly gave his second brother a wink. Mr. Zhang understood the situation and came to the old lady and said, "Okay, okay! Mom, we don't want the copper coins! We don't want the copper coins."

As he said that, he wanted to help the old lady leave, but he didn't expect that the old lady was very stubborn and refused to leave no matter what.

Helpless, Boss Zhang could only come to Xu Tianxuan and whispered: "Master Tianxuan, I'm sorry, my mother is a little confused. I will take out the copper coins after she leaves."

Xu Tianxuan glanced at the old lady, then at Mr. Zhang's body, and said it was too late.

Then he walked out of the mourning hall.

The old lady saw Xu Tianxuan leaving and sat alone on the bench next to the coffin.

Zhang Ke sighed and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm useless. I didn't even attend my dad's funeral in time."

The old lady said: "If you can't make it in time for your dad's funeral, you can make it in time for other people's funerals."

I sighed to myself, this old lady started telling lies again.

Boss Zhang took us to a room in the courtyard: "Although the house is a little dilapidated, the environment is very good. Master Tianxuan, you can rest here."

After saying that, Boss Zhang left the room.

I sat next to Xu Tianxuan and asked, "Master, what did you just say about being late?"

Xu Tianxuan stared at the dim and dull weather outside the window, and said slowly: "The corpse has begun to transform. I'm afraid it will be a sleepless night tonight."

I asked: "Master, is there any way to stop this?"

Xu Tianxuan shook his head and replied: "The King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch. Who dares to keep you until the fifth watch? Someone will die tonight. All we can do is try our best to prevent this from happening."

"As long as no one dies before the old man is buried, this matter will pass naturally."

My expression became a little solemn.

In the evening, I walked out of the room, and there was drizzle in the sky.

When I passed Boss Zhang's room, I heard Boss Zhang and her wife talking in a low voice.

I stopped and listened carefully.

"Call your son right away! Tell him not to go home! Go back to school right away!"

"Dad, are you sure you want your son to go back to school? This is his grandfather's funeral! Isn't it unreasonable not to come?"

"reason? What more reason is there! It's not like you didn't hear what our mother said. She said five people would die, first the second uncle! Then our father! Xiaojie passed away again yesterday! You said the fourth person who is it?"

"..."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

It seems that the old lady's words have made everyone in the Zhang family panic.

The old lady was still standing guard in front of the mourning hall, and her expression instantly became wary when she saw me.

I can only go to Zhang Ke and give him a few instructions.

Zhang Ke was lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze. When he heard someone coming, he slowly sat up and opened his dull eyes and looked at me.

"Master Liu."

I nodded, sat next to Zhang Ke, and said, "Go and tell your family later that no matter what you hear or see tonight, don't go out."

Zhang Ke asked: "Why?"

I didn't tell Zhang Ke about the transformation of his father into a corpse. I could only say, this is for your own good.

Zhang Ke nodded in agreement and asked quietly: "Who will be the fourth person to die?"
