C17 A red coffin that cannot be taken away

The man replied and left in a hurry, leaving only the three of us as master and disciple, as well as the corpse of an old man. It's not that I'm timid, but this red coffin is really too creepy.

We stood in front of the door, and Taoist False Bamboo did not call us in. After waiting for about half an hour, the man returned with seven younger men and a girl, who was as ready as a rooster.

When I saw the rooster, I suddenly recalled that we had put one under the coffin last night. As a result, when I looked down, the rooster was dead.

Originally, he wanted to ask Daoist Xu Zhu what was the reason for this, but he had already begun his work. It would not be too late to ask again when he had time.

Daoist Master Xu Zhu looked at the seven men, as well as the girl. Her expression did not look good, and he asked the men why they were missing a man. The man said that the village was originally filled with fewer people, not to mention children. Most of these people had been hired from other villages, but now they were still looking around to see if they could be found in the afternoon.

Then he called me and Rainbow to come into the hall. No one else was allowed in. When we entered the house, Taoist Xu Zhu said to us, "Burying people is an essential part of our business. First, we have to bury the dead, to tidy up the clothes of the dead. In the process, you must not call out the names of others, otherwise, it will easily attract the attention of the dead. Tidy up well, then cover the dead."

Rainbow should have done it, taken me with her, tidied up the dead man's clothes, and then covered the body with a white cloth. It seemed like there was still a need for care, starting with the dead man's head and going all the way to the feet, and the feet of the corpse were not even close to the head.

Taoist Xu Zhu explained to me that if the dead man's feet were parallel to his eyes, it meant that he could see his own feet.

I didn't dare to touch the corpse on the first day of work. I watched Hong Xi tidy up the mess while my heart kept track of the results. After Hong Xi finished tidying up, she forced me to touch the corpse from the feet all the way to the face!

This time, I almost lost my soul from fright. The corpse was very hard and had a strange smell on it, and the first time I touched the corpse, it was ice-cold. It felt like the corpse was moving.

I summoned up my courage and touched the corpse. Taoist Xu Zhu said that training in courage was enough. This old man's funeral is something we'll just follow up on. It's mainly that coffin outside.

Then, Daoist Xu Zhu called in the man and asked where the master had gone. The man said helplessly. There weren't many people in the house. Other than his father, there was also his nephew. His nephew was still here yesterday, so he couldn't find anyone else today.

His nephew should be the one who was chosen by the female ghost. I immediately felt that something was wrong. However, Daoist Void Bamboo was not anxious and said, "Get a few people and go up to the attic. If they can't find it, then go to the restroom to take a look."

Unexpectedly, the few of them went to the attic and the toilet to look for a while, and actually brought back a young man. This man was quite handsome, but too bad, he was already a fool and couldn't speak, so he shouted, "I'm not going, don't pull me, I'm not going …"

When Daoist Xu Zhu saw this, he told the man to tie him up. Then he said, Tie the dog up too and let the dog's body rest on the man's body. All he needed to do was wait for the red coffin to carry him away.

I asked Taoist Xu Zhu if he was scared silly. In the end, he knocked him on the head and said, "Nonsense, he wasn't scared. How could he become stupid for no reason at all?"

Hong Xi saw that I was being knocked on, so she came over and pulled me out the door. She wrote in her notebook, "Underworld marriage usually causes two people to die, unlike underworld marriage. If we didn't put the rooster under the coffin last night, then that man would have already died."

I nodded my head, but my heart was filled with lingering fear. If we hadn't seen it last night, then the one who would have died today wouldn't have been just an old man!

For no reason at all, a red coffin appeared, and everyone in the village was scared, no one came to help. Even the main house's uncle, who was going to call us men, kept begging Daoist Xu Zhu to take care of this matter, otherwise, it would be impossible to live this life!

Daoist Xu Zhu spent a long time to console those who were present. He said that someone had come to fetch the old man from the Lipstick Coffin. The red coffin was a joyous affair.

He had even said that there was nothing inside the coffin, and that it was empty. Everyone should go dig a hole in the mountain and bury it later on.

After everyone heard the words of the Daoist Void Bamboo, some of them had already gone up the mountain to dig a grave. The Daoist Void Bamboo also instructed that the grave must be far from the village, or a disaster might come.

The old man who had died at the main house, Taoist Xu Zhu, called Hong Xi to help him look after it. He was giving orders for the red coffin to arrive in the blink of an eye, but who would have thought that the remaining boy and girl couldn't be found!

Daoist Xu Zhu looked at the time and said that he couldn't wait any longer. He was afraid that something might happen, so he shifted his gaze to me. Then, he called for Rainbow Dawn and said that the two of us will take care of these two positions.

I helped carry the coffin, and Rainbow and the other girl went off with the rooster and the well water. Seeing that Hong Xi agreed so readily, I was also duty-bound and had no choice but to agree.

As the young people who came to carry the coffin had never carried it before, Taoist Xu Zhu gathered everyone together and said to us, "First of all, we must not be distracted when we carry the coffin. Don't look straight ahead. Take the coffin and walk three rounds around the place, then head in the direction of the grave. Before you reach the grave, do not let the coffin fall onto the ground, understand? "

The few youngsters weren't afraid of death as they were just born. They thought that there really wasn't anyone in the coffin and so they readily agreed. I smiled bitterly as I knew very well if there was anyone in the coffin.

I didn't expect that the villagers wouldn't care about the origins of the red coffin. I thought that Daoist Void Bamboo would start a big fight, but now, it seems that burying the coffin will solve the problem.

After a period of busy work, the people tied the wooden stick to the coffin with a rope. Taoist Xu Zhu said that the stick was called "Dragon Shelf" and that when we carried the coffin, we couldn't call the coffin "Dragon Coffin" or it would be easy to cause trouble.

After instructing for a while, Daoist Xu Zhu picked up the rooster, pinched the chicken head with its blood, and mixed the chicken feathers. He stuck the rooster on the left and right sides of the coffin's head.

Hong Xi hugged the rooster while the other girl carried the well water and stood in front of the coffin. Next, Taoist Xu Zhu called us eight young boys to get into position and said that when he called for them to get ready, they would all bow their waists and when they called for the coffin, we would immediately lift the coffin and follow the two girls in front of us.

Then, Daoist Xu Zhu took out a peach wood sword, threw a tile in front of Hong Xi and the others, pointed the sword at the tile, and looked at us. Then, he chopped down with his sword, waiting for the tile to shatter, and shouted, "Get ready."

The few of us immediately bent our waists. At this moment, I suddenly felt that the coffin was so heavy that even bowing was difficult. It was as if there was a magnetic force that prevented us from moving faster!

"Get up the coffin."

With a loud shout from the monk, someone put out firecrackers nearby. However, even if we tried our best, we couldn't lift up the coffin!

Some of them puffed their cheeks and tried to lift it up, but what they lifted was not a coffin, but a mountain. The coffin did not move at all!

Suddenly, everyone became anxious. Many people lost their things and retreated a few steps, but the few of us who were carrying the coffins, despite being afraid of losing face, still tried our best. However, it was to no avail.

Suddenly, the dragon frame we were carrying let out a "Kacha" sound and actually broke into three pieces!

The Void Bamboo Taoist's face twisted and he told us not to panic. After circling around the coffin, he then called for everyone to rest and called for people to get back on the Dragon Shelf.

The other seven people didn't think too much about it. They suspected that there was some kind of iron in the coffin. As for me, goosebumps kept rolling down my skin. Fuck, one coffin weighs at most two hundred catties, and that body weighs three hundred catties!

However, we eight strong young lads, although we can't lift it up, the Dragon Shelf is already broken, which proves that we have enough strength. What kind of tricks are there in this?

After getting back on the dragon rack, Taoist Xu Zhu stared at the coffin for a long time. Finally, he took a stack of yellow paper and tied it to a rooster. Then, he placed the rooster on top of the coffin and told us to continue.

The strange thing happened right away. After Taoist Xu Zhu's torment, the second time, we easily lifted the coffin, as if it were really an empty coffin. We spun three times on the spot, and then suddenly, the coffin's head pointed towards the intersection as we followed Rainbow Dawn and the others.

There's an old well ahead, and quite a lot of people drowned inside. When we get there, everyone hurry up and don't linger. Don't look around. Taoist Xu Zhu walked in front and loudly commanded us …
