C13 The kid seizes the banner

As we walked, Zhao Jiale whispered to me, "Have you ever heard of broken ties? The living and the dead were connected by a thread. This thread was invisible and untouchable to the living. He existed because the dead did not want to close their eyes. I used the razor in my hand to break the thread, so the Gao family closed their eyes. "

When I heard what Zhao Jiale said, I was stunned for a moment. In short, I felt that what Zhao Jiale just said was a little strange. He said the living and the dead were connected by a thread, but I couldn't see or touch it.

I bypassed this matter and asked my question, "Uncle, there are so many people in the village. Why did you call me by name and ask me to raise the Spirit Summoning Banner?"

Actually, Chief Chen Pingchuan had already explained to me about letting me raise the banner. He said that I was a university student, a literary star descended from heaven. What was a Literari Star? Then, are they not mortals? Let me raise my banner to suppress Old Man Gao and his family.

But I think that's bullshit. Nowadays, there are many university students everywhere. If I were a Literari Star that descended to the mortal world, then Literari Star wouldn't be worth much.

Zhao Jiale glanced at me, as if he knew I didn't believe I was a comet. He lowered his voice and said to me, "Feng, let me tell you the truth. Old Man Gao's family died in a weird way. I'm afraid something bad might happen to them if they were to raise a banner."

"F * ck, you clearly know that there might be trouble if I raise my banner, but you still made me raise my banner, aren't you clearly trying to scam me?" I was furious when I heard Zhao Jiale's words. If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Jiale is my uncle, I'm afraid that I would have thrown the banner at him. However, I still frowned and said, "Uncle Jiale, my family hasn't offended you. Aren't you obviously trying to cheat me?"

"Don't be in such a hurry." Zhao Jiale squinted at me. Seeing that my emotions were fluctuating, he pointed to his heart and gestured to me, "I did say that if a living person raises a banner, it might be dangerous. However, you don't even have a heart right now. Do you think you can still be counted as a living person?"

Listening to Zhao Jiale's words, I felt my heart beating in my throat. Although I don't have a heart right now, I do have that feeling of fear.

It's said that experts are in the common folk, but I didn't expect that the real experts were in our village. Zhao Jiale only needed to glance at me to know that my heart is no longer in it. He definitely has the ability to do so. At this moment, I saw Zhao Jiale as if he saw a straw that could save my life. I hastily said to him, "Uncle Jiale, who was it that wanted to harm me? You have to save me. "

"I don't know who is causing this trouble, but I feel like our village is going to change." Zhao Jiale frowned, then looked at me and said, "But don't be afraid. I don't think that thing has any intention of harming you. As long as your heart isn't damaged, you should be fine. You should eat, you should drink, and don't forget to put your heart at rest. "

"I have a feeling that something will happen soon." Zhao Jiale solemnly told me.

"Something is going to happen?" My heart thumped as I turned my head to look at the three coffins behind me. The black coffins were emitting cold air, and I felt a chill down my spine.

"Don't look back!" Zhao Jiale slapped me on the head and warned me, "Remember, do not turn back. Do not turn back on the Road to River Styx if you are disrespectful to the dead. Especially now that you hold the soul flag, if you turn around and let Old Man Gao and his family look back, they will see your corpse and return to the world of the living. At that time, they might not be willing to reincarnate because of your nostalgia. "

"Stay in the human world and not reincarnate." I took a deep breath, yearning for the mortal world. If these three fellows were to stay in the village, would the village be at peace? I think when I come out at night, I'll run into old man Gao and his family strolling in the streets …

"Uncle Jia Le." Zhao Jiale could tell that I had no heart, so I believed what Zhao Jiale said without a doubt. After hearing Zhao Jiale say that the person who summoned the soul flag must not turn back, or else the dead person would linger in the mortal world, I was really scared. I said to Zhao Jiale in a tearful voice, "Uncle Jiale, I just turned back a moment ago. Will there be any problems?"

"I'm fine. Just remember this next time, and don't look back. " Zhao Jiale shook his head helplessly when he saw how scared I was, "Men are afraid of ghosts, while ghosts are afraid of humans. Don't be so nervous, the Spirit Summoning Flag is almost shaking. "

Zhao Jiale said while he was scattering the paper money, "Feng, do you know why you were scattering paper money while walking?"

I thought about it and said, "Probably for the dead."

"Not for the dead." Zhao Jiale said to me while he was throwing away the money, "This money is to buy money for Mountain Dragon King and Lonely Spirit. The Lonely Spirit will only let us pass through their territory if he takes our money."

I nodded, deep in thought. It seemed this ghost god was the same as humans. If I wanted to pass through their territory, I would have to leave behind money to buy my way through.

The Gao Clan's ancestral tombs were located in a very remote location on the mountain, and all the previous Gao Clan members had been buried there. Because at the top of the mountain, the road was very difficult to tread. I held the soul summoning flag, already tired to the point that my feet hurt. However, when he looked at the twelve laborers carrying the coffins, he was able to lift the coffins very steadily. My face didn't change, which made me very ashamed. I felt that my body should definitely be trained.

At this time, the sky suddenly became covered by dense dark clouds. Thunder rumbled in the sky, as if a heavy rain was about to arrive.

All faces changed. The funeral was going to rain, and it was going to be difficult. Zhao Jiale's face darkened. "It's going to rain soon, let's go," he said to the man carrying the coffin. Everyone hurry up, but the coffin must not fall to the ground until it reaches the old Gao family's ancestral grave. "Thank you for your hard work everyone. When we return later, let the Village Head buy you a drink."

"Don't worry." The twelve workers looked up at the sky, probably not wanting to be drenched, and nodded their heads, "Old Zhao, don't worry. Tell that Zhang kid to hurry up and leave, don't grumble."

I'm not going to be polite when I hear these laborers because I don't want to get wet, either. With that, he increased his speed by half, and he was almost able to jog along the way. Looking back at the twelve laborers, every four of them carrying a coffin, each coffin containing at least two hundred pounds of dead bodies, walking steadily behind me without falling out of line, I couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, "Labor is labor, this kind of strength is indescribable."

I saw the strength with which the coffin was carried, and I wondered if I should go a little faster. At this moment, the drummer suddenly stopped playing.

Zhao Jiale's expression changed. He turned around and asked the drummer's leader, Fatty Wang, "Why isn't Old Wang boasting anymore? It was unlucky that the drummer had stopped on the road. "You've been a drummer for so many years, it's not like you don't understand the rules, right?"

Fatty Wang said with an ashen face, "It's not that I don't want to blow, it's just that I don't know why I can't."

Fatty Wang puffed a few times with his cheeks, but nothing happened.

Fatty Wang asked the rest of the drummers, "What about you? Why is there no movement? "

The others also looked at each other with helpless expressions, "We can't play ours anymore either, we can't even use our full strength." We've been in this business for so many years, but we've never seen anything like it. "

These drummers were professionals from all over the world. They were experienced, and some of them had been bragging for decades. It was impossible for them to not be able to keep up with their lung capacity. If the instrument broke, it was still possible for it to be broken, but all the drummers' instruments couldn't be broken at the same time.

Zhao Jiale's expression changed as he said, "Not good. Something is up."

Zhao Jiale spread the money one by one. "My fellow Mountain Dragon Kings, we have borrowed it from a treasure trove and we hope that you can help us with it. In the future, we will offer sacrifices to the Three Lives Priests of the Boar, Sheep, and Sheep. "

"Uncle Jia Le!" Oh no, I feel like someone is stealing my Spirit Summoning Flag. " I cried. I felt a force pulling my soul flag in front of me. I knew that I couldn't let the soul flag fall to the ground. I desperately tried to pull the soul flag in my direction. Gradually, I felt that I was about to be pulled down by the person in front of me.

"Not good. The Spirit Summoning Flag must not fall to the ground. " Zhao Jiale said, "Little Feng, hold on!"

Several drummers were close by. Seeing that I was about to be pulled down along with the Spirit Summoning Flag, the three of us used all our strength to help me snatch the Spirit Summoning Flag, but we were actually unable to stop that force. I shouted, "Since when did the Dragon King have such an interest in the soul flag?"

"Seems like it's not some old master of the Divine Dragon Mountain. I'm afraid that the kid on the mountain is up to mischief." Zhao Jiale said with a grave expression. With a "sou" sound, he took out the Spirit Summoning Flag in his hand.
