Chapter 145 Mid-Autumn Festival
I have been here many times. This is the first time I have entered the room where Banmian sleeps. It is dark and not much different from his half face.
There was an altar at the door when I entered the door, with a sect on it, covered with a curtain. I thought the old man's spiritual throne was worshipped inside, so I also worshipped.
As a result, after I finished worshiping, a gust of cold wind blew behind me. Someone was kneeling behind me and waiting to obey me. Then I was sweating. What the hell did this guy in half, could he raise a little ghost?
Just when I was wondering, my hands and feet were cold, the guy behind me said, "Why have the coffin sect changed people?"
The sound was thick and powerful, and it sounded like a no-no.
I twitched the corners of my mouth in embarrassment and said nonsense: "I am my master's new apprentice, and I took over the master's mantle."
"Advisor?" The thing behind seemed quite surprised: "Since that's the case, you can tell me what I want to help? The ancestor is here, I will definitely help you."
“No help.”
"Then don't worship randomly in the future." The thing left in the blink of an eye, and the cold wind behind me disappeared. Then I slowly raised my head to look at the offering in front of me.
I looked at it and stretched out the curtain, but it turned out to be a coffin inside. There was an old man cross-legged sitting on the coffin. The old man closed his eyes and calmed his mind, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping.
I looked at the curtain and covered it again. Ouyang Li beside me then said, "This is the ancestor of the coffin gate and the Taoist of the coffin."
The Taoist of the coffin?
I thought the coffin was a carpenter's craft, but I worshiped Lu Ban, but it turned out to be a coffin Taoist.
I wasn't disappointed, I was just a little surprised.
Turning around, I looked at half of the seat, and continued to ask him to talk about buying money for life, but he said he was tired without waiting for me and fell asleep. I went over and couldn't wake him up.
I originally planned to stay in the half-faced room and wait for him to wake up and ask, why do others exchange things for money, and what I exchanges for money, but what we exchanges for is different.
Actually, I felt that I was greedy for money and fooled me, and swallowed all my money. I understood that the minimum coffin was 1,000 yuan per pair, and it was not capped. Why did I buy my life when I got here with him?
Seeing that I was a little angry, Ouyang Li didn't say anything, but I remembered it myself. I went back to the coffin shop first to see which coffin was missing. This way, I felt confident.
But I was not worried about half a face, so I found a lock and half a face to go into the incense and candle shop so that he would not run away.
Turning around, Ouyang Li and I went back to the coffin shop. When I entered the door, I counted the coffin inside the coffin shop. As a result, I found something strange, and there were actually quite a few coffins.
In my opinion, I copied the coffin shop and gave it half a copy, which was a mistake. I shouldn't have done that. It must be that he took on private work outside, beat a coffin himself, and came back to give me a coffin to fool me.
But it's better than not. Thinking of Ouyang Li's huge sum of money to the King of Hell, I really don't know what it's useful to give this one to me, but it's still a year's money to buy life, and it's always good to keep it.
How could I know that this money to buy life will really save my life one day.
I won't mention the matter of taking private work with half of my back. In order to make sure there is a treasure in the coffin shop, I first searched in the coffin shop, but I couldn't find anything, so I had to give up in the end.
But afterwards, I still asked Ouyang Li: "Didn't it say that there is something here to suppress it, and the ghosts disperse by themselves when they arrive here? Then why would rat spirits enter the old man's coffin?"
"Suppressing ghosts does not necessarily mean suppressing monsters. Ghosts have ghost paths, and demons have demon paths, which is different."
Ouyang Li looked calm, and I knew what was going on. Then I saw that, fortunately, there were not many demons who had cultivated into spirits. I could collect ghosts, but I had no choice but to be able to fight. I was the one who suffered the loss.
Ouyang Li looked at me and called me softly: "Ning'er."
I was busy looking at him, and he said, "In fact, demons are similar to humans, but they are just more powerful in their cultivation. If you practice well, you can still defeat the demons or even capture the demons.
You can't, but they can help you."
When Ouyang Li said this, I was busy looking down at the beads on my wrist, and then I remembered that I had help.
"You mean I can also take the monster?" I asked, naturally I was secretly happy, but the next moment Ouyang Li's words disappointed me.
"No, Ning'er can only collect ghosts, monsters cannot, but it is not a problem to protect themselves when encountering monsters."
In fact, Ouyang Li said this and said nothing. I didn’t get anything. So I stopped asking more questions. Instead, I felt that it was time to go and see Zong Wuze.
So he followed Ouyang Li to the hospital and went to see Zong Wuze.
Actually, I wanted to ask Zong Wuze for the copper coin. For some reason, every time I used up the copper coin, I would return it to my hands by myself, but this time it didn't. I naturally felt worried. Could it be that Zong Wuze really took the copper coin back?
In fact, it’s nothing to ask Zong Wuze to go back, and it’s useless to keep the copper coins on me, but I really think that since he has given them to me, how can I say that I have to go back?
Seeing that I was always thinking all the way, Ouyang Li was always looking at me, and holding my hand, he always rubbed it gently, as if comforting me.
When we arrived at the hospital, we saw Zong Wuze asking about his condition, and he was about to go to bed, which made us ask about the copper coins again, so we had to give up the matter. I couldn't help but reach out to him with shame and ask him for the copper coins back.
Then Ouyang Li and I went back to the coffin shop to rest, and we went to the school around us.
Zong Wuze is ready, and Ye Wanzhen can accompany me to school, so I asked Ye Wanzhen about the coffin door indirectly. In fact, I just wanted to know how much it cost to sell half a coffin.
He made the coffin, and he had the skills, so I wouldn't lose it. Two or one adds five points, at most four or six points, I got four and six points, and I got four and six. I've drawn the picture and he can't take it all by himself.
But no matter how I asked, Ye Wanzhen told me that she didn't know about these things. Although she was also a senior brother and sister, she was not the same sect after all, and she couldn't tell them together.
I had nothing to say when I heard Ye Wanzhen say this, and I could only think that something had not happened and I would like to be optimistic about my coffin shop in the future.
The days that followed were calm for a while and also gave us some good rest.
In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival in August came, and the school gave us a few days off. This year's holiday was over and over again. All those who could go home went home early. The school was deserted and the building was barely visible, and there was almost no one, and even the guard was gone.
Ye Wanzhen also packed up and prepared to go home, saying that she wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her family. She asked me if I didn’t go home, I would go back with her. As there were too many people, Zong Wuze would go back with her.
When people go home, I will join in the fun. It is better to stay in my coffin shop to do business. Maybe one or two people will die, and I can sell one or two coffins at that time.
This kind of thinking is really bad. I am busy thinking about living a reunion life. I will stay with a group of ghosts.
So I was afraid that Banmian would leave too, so I hurried to Banmian. Before he left, I bought a lot of incense and candles with him, and prepared to wait for them to leave. I could light the incense and candles so that the ghosts in the yard would also celebrate the festival. I bought more, and before leaving, I told the ghosts in the yard that if I wanted to go there, I would go there early, and the ghosts would be more lively.
Half face looked full of contempt, and it seemed that I regret selling the incense and candle to me, but he was quite conscientious. Before leaving, he gave me a few mooncakes. He also said that it was given by his friend. In fact, I knew that the mooncakes were bought by him and he didn't even have a friend. Who would give him mooncakes?
Before leaving, Zong Wuze came to find me, so I went outside.
When he walked to the uninhabited place, Zong Wuze took out the copper coin and gave it to me, pulled my hand over, put the copper coin in the palm of my hand, and then pushed my hand up.
"Since I have given it to you, it's all yours in the future. You don't have to worry about me coming back. I just borrowed it for two days." I was still very moved by Zong Wuze's words, especially when he stared at me with his eyes.
I felt a little ashamed and wanted to return the copper coins to him, but before he could say anything, he had already taken back his hands.
He said: "I will come back from ten days this time and at least one week. You can take good care of yourself here."
No one has ever cared about me so much. I said so much to me. Perhaps I was moved by Zong Wuze and felt a little sad.
Zong Wuze smiled and said to me: "Everyone has ambition. It would be great if you really like it, but I believe you, and I will not give up."
Turning around, Zong Wuze left. That day I lowered my head and stared blankly all day, but I was ready the next day.
One day before Mid-Autumn Festival, Ouyang Li told me that he would go on a long journey and asked me to prepare. I saw him and thought, could he also go back to reunite?
But he lives so far away from Xiangxi, and it takes time to fly this time.
I haven't had a flight once and I'm still looking forward to it, but he actually told me to go tonight.
I was confused when I heard what he said, but I didn't know that what he said was going tonight, but I was actually going there in a dream, not a plane at all.
Although I was a little disappointed, I became curious about him and forgot everything.
Rumor has it that the three evil spirits in Xiangxi, the poison of the corpse, the fallen flower cave girl are famous all over the world, and they must be a very evil place.
Ouyang Li first sealed the room where we sleep, and then took me to lie on the bed like a dream. When we all fell asleep, we fell into another place.
There was nothing special about the place. There were many mountains and waters. We first poured a clear river beside a small river. There was a boat on the river. When I asked if it was a ferry, Ouyang Li smiled, then took my hand and said, "It's a ferry, but it's not a ferry for the ghost, but a ferry for the ferry."
An old man stood on the boat with a hat on his head and wearing a black dress. Seeing Ouyang Li and I, I was stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "The eldest young master is back?"
When the old man shouted, I was busy looking at Ouyang Li. Ouyang Li took my hand and got on the boat. The old man on the boat kept looking at me and couldn't help but say, "Is this the young grandma?"
Ouyang Li didn't say anything, and took me all the way to Ouyang Li's house.
Opposite the river are the houses lined up, all built on the water and the mountains. The houses are built irregularly, with the rich atmosphere of the houses on the water in western Hunan and the mountains.
After getting off the boat, the old man hurriedly summoned the eldest young master and said that the eldest son was back. Many people came out to receive us, and a couple in ethnic costumes came out. Ouyang Li took me to the front of the two and introduced me one by one.
These two people are Ouyang Li's parents. I was also surprised. I started to be busy with the group, and I was like watching a light. Many people walked around in front of me, some said something I couldn't understand, while others looked at me and followed me to have dinner.
After drinking and eating, Ouyang Li took me back.
His parents were both kind-faced people, so they sent us out without saying anything. Ouyang Li and I crossed the river and opened our eyes.
After waking up, I asked Ouyang Li, those people were really his parents, so he looked at me without saying a word.
I knew he would definitely not say much to me, so I didn't ask.
After lying down, it was dawn. The next day I got up, I went to the mall and bought a set of clothes and a lot of delicious food. When I was ready in the evening, I went to Zong Wuze's yard with Ouyang Li. There were many delicious foods on the stone table and many incense candles were lit.
Soon, a lot of ghosts surrounded the stone table. Those that were usually invisible came out. Today, they all came out, and a few half-faced ones floated at the door.
The ghosts said one by one that I was better than Zong Wuze and Ye Wanzhen, so I ate moon cakes and enjoyed the moon. Even the jade pendant on my chest ran out to dry the moon and emitted a faint light.
