Chapter 244: Taboo

Five or six coffin bearers carried the coffin out of Lanruo Temple and put it on an ox cart, so it was naturally impossible for them to carry the coffin all the way back. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Hurry up, it's not early in the morning, although the eldest young master didn't say it, but I can already see that there must be something strange in this Lanruo Temple, otherwise the eldest young master of the Li family would not have appeared in this abandoned temple for no reason. The swarthy coffin bearer at the head said in a suppressed voice.

Everyone immediately nodded, and immediately drove the ox cart away.

"Having said that, the eldest young master of the Li family doesn't want to live a life of fine clothes and jade food, what is he doing in this deserted temple?" asked a person next to him.

"What else can there be, most of it is to eliminate demons, don't forget, the eldest young master of the Li family has been practicing in Xiahe Village for more than ten years with a master of Taoism, this is known to everyone in Guobei County, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be some methods to subdue demons and eliminate demons, no matter how bad it is, there is also the Taoist chief behind him to protect him, some ghosts and demons are naturally fearless, and you have forgotten the words of a ghost we met when we carried the coffin a few years ago?" The swarthy middle-aged man led by him said in a low voice.

"The ghost blocked our way and wanted to confuse us, but as soon as he heard that we were from Guobei County, he immediately let us go, and apologized, saying that there was a noble and extraordinary person in Guobei County, and his little wild ghost did not dare to offend. ”

"Who else can there be in that ghost's mouth, who else is the noble and extraordinary? There is only one eldest young master in the entire Guobei County. ”

After the coffin bearer at the head finished speaking, he paused and said: "So there must be something strange in this Lanruo Temple, and it is also for our good that the eldest young master urges us to go back to the city before dark, so that we will not be lost by ghosts on the road and will not be able to go back." ”

Although the group was bold, they were chilled when they thought of the incident that caused countless lives in Lanruo Temple.

Killing so many people, there must be very powerful monsters and evil ghosts in Lanruo Temple, but anyone who is a little afraid of ghosts is a change of color.

If it weren't for Li Xiuyuan's company this time, plus the sufficient salary, and the face of the eldest young master of the Li family, they would not have made this trip.

When they were about to arrive in Guobei County, it was already completely dark.

Fortunately, it was a very safe arrival, and several coffin bearers were slightly relieved.

"Bang dang~!"

But at this moment, the wheel of the ox cart hit a boulder on the side of the road and jerked violently.

The heavy coffin on the ox cart shook suddenly, and the coffin slipped down half of it without knowing what's going on, and the originally closed coffin opened with a bit of weirdness at the moment, and frightened a few nearby coffins who followed the left and right to retreat, for fear that some demons and monsters would fly out of the suddenly opened coffin and kill their lives.

"What's going on. ”

The highest-ranking coffin bearer who walked in front immediately changed his face and hurriedly turned back.

Someone said in horror, "I don't know, just now the ox cart hit a stone, and the coffin board slipped down, no, it can't be a corpse." ”

"How can such a light coffin deceive the corpse, I have some doubts about whether there is a corpse or not, the young man you have seen wants to talk nonsense, Tian Qi, you belong to the tiger, go over and take a look, if there is no accident, close the coffin immediately, this is something entrusted by the eldest young master of the Li family, if something goes wrong, the reputation in the county will be stinky in the future," the coffin bearer said solemnly.

The coffin bearer named Tian Qi swallowed his saliva, had to answer stiffly, and then walked towards the open coffin.

There are great taboos in doing their job, and there are many rules, which must be followed once the leading old coffin bearer speaks.

He cautiously walked to the bullock cart.

"Don't be afraid, the cow is quiet, which means that there is no evil thing. The coffin bearer said.

The reason why the ox cart was chosen is because the ox can see ghosts and demons, and if any evil spirits appear, the ox will definitely be restless, which can also play a very important warning role.

Tian Qi leaned over to take a look, but saw that the coffin was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, after all, it was already late, and there was not enough sight.

"It doesn't seem like anything special. He looked at it, and then said.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw that there was something inside the coffin that was emitting a golden light, which was a little dazzling.

It's gold~!

Tian Qi's eyes suddenly straightened, there was a big piece of gold in this coffin.

The Li family is rich in the end, and they are willing to take such a big piece of gold to be buried in this casual coffin.

Immediately, his mind was hot, and he didn't think about anything, but he wanted to reach out and take the piece of gold, and take it for himself.

"Tian Qi, what are you doing? "Tian Qi, what are you doing?" The coffin bearer led by him was immediately shocked when he saw him reaching into the coffin, and immediately his face changed greatly and shouted angrily.

The most taboo thing for the coffin bearer is to take the contents of the coffin.

No matter what it is, even if it's a piece of paper money, you can't take it, otherwise you will lose yin virtue, let alone do this work, and whether you can live or not is a question.

Just when Tian Qi's arm was just stretched into the coffin, suddenly, a gust of wind swept up around him, carrying the smell of paper ashes and incense.

"It's not good, this coffin is escorted by ghosts and gods, and Tian Qi is going to suffer now. ”

When the coffin bearer at the head smelled this, his heart sank.

Sure enough, Tian Qi's hand had just reached in, and before he could grab the piece of gold, he suddenly screamed, and his arm felt a sharp pain in an instant, as if it had been cut off with a steel knife, and immediately shrank back in pain, and his body fell backwards, just holding an arm and wailing, but there was no wound on his arm at all, nor was it cut off, but it felt extremely painful.

"Quick, get down on your knees and beg the demons for forgiveness. ”

Seeing this scene, the head of the coffin bearer was more sure of his conjecture, hurriedly greeted, and then knelt down with a puff.

The rest of the people turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Touch~!"

But there was no sound around them to answer them, but they felt a few winds blowing from nearby, and came to the vicinity of the coffin, and then saw that the lid of the coffin that had slipped down was unexpected, jumped up on its own, and then quickly closed.

The ox cart also seemed to be driven, and began to walk, continuing towards the county seat.

A few coffin-bearers were left looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

It was only after the ox cart had gone away that there was no movement around them, and everyone was a little relieved from the panicked appearance just now.

"Now, what now?" the crowd looked at the coffin bearer at the head.

The swarthy man sighed: "Count your fate, the ghosts and gods who escorted the coffin did not offend you, otherwise it was not only Tian Qi who suffered just now, I should have thought of it, it was so calm along the way, I didn't even look at a ghost, it seems that it is not our luck, but that there are ghosts and gods escorting in secret, and the little ghosts on the road are scared away." ”

"Since the ghosts and gods are not to blame for what happened before, we should hurry up and handle this matter, go back and pray to the gods again, and set up a banquet to calm the anger in the hearts of the ghosts and gods. ”

After speaking, everyone else nodded, deeply agreed.

But when they lifted Tian Qi, who was wailing in pain, they saw that his arm was intact, but there was an extra bruise on his arm.

The bruise was like a thin line walking around the arm, and under this thin line, the whole arm had lost the ability to move, and even the fingers could not move for a moment.

The coffin bearer at the head was well-informed, and sighed: "This is retribution, Tian Qi is greedy for the money in the coffin, and now in exchange for a knife from the ghost god, this arm will be considered useless in the future, I have already told you, there are many taboos in this line, it was originally a good thing to accumulate yin virtue, but because of greed, it will become a bad thing, so the coffin bearers from generation to generation have passed down, not many coffin bearers can keep their duties, most of them are as greedy as Tian Qi, so that they have suffered retribution, you must take it as a warning in the future." ”

When the other coffin bearers heard this, they all remembered these words and never dared to have any thoughts about the contents of the coffin in the future.

After all, living examples are here.

Several coffin bearers took Tian Qi to chase the ox cart and quickly arrived in the county seat.

And not long after they left, on the road they passed, the moonlight fell, and a huge tiger shadow appeared here out of thin air, the tiger shadow's head shook, first looking in the direction of Guobei County, and then looking in the direction of Lanruo Temple.

In the end, the tiger shadow moved, and disappeared in a flash towards Lanruo Temple.

At this moment, inside the Lanruo Temple.

Li Xiuyuan, Yan Chixia and Xiahou Wu stayed in the same courtyard, and several of them were resting in the meditation room.

It's not so much a break as it is waiting for news.

Waiting for the Yin soldiers under Li Xiuyuan's command, the ghost sent the exact news of the tree demon grandma, and then eliminated it in one fell swoop.

Seeing the night fall, the night is getting darker.

Li Xiuyuan's face was calm, and he stood with his hands in his hands, standing at the door of the meditation room and looking up at the bright moon.

"The moon in Lanruo Temple is hazy whenever it is seen, as if it is shrouded in a layer of haze, and it is not clear and thorough enough. He thought to himself.

However, Li Xiuyuan knew that the reason why this situation occurred was because the demonic aura in Lanruo Temple was very strong.

This demonic aura soared into the sky, condensing and not dispersing, only to block the line of sight, and even the moonlight was not transparent.

Therefore, this seemingly bright moon in the sky is actually not a good sign.

Sometimes it doesn't have to be dark and windy, and dark clouds are the time when ghosts and demons go out.

"Huhu~!"

A strange wind blew up, and several lanterns in the courtyard were blown and swayed, and the candlelight flickered incessantly, as if they were going to be extinguished at any time.

But in the end, it hasn't been extinguished.

"Husband~!"

A little shy, and a crisp voice sounded, but I saw that Qingmei actually appeared and came to the front.

Li Xiuyuan immediately smiled and said, "Xiaomei, why don't you go back to the house to catch up with Fluttershy, and what are you doing here?"

"The concubine remembered her husband in her heart, so she never left Lanruo Temple, and now it is night, and the concubine dares to come out and meet her husband. Qingmei said with shame.

She gained fame during her lifetime, but she did not continue this unfinished relationship, and it was difficult to repeat it after death, and she was willing to part immediately.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine, but I don't pay attention to the words of the tree demon grandma. Li Xiu said from afar.

Qingmei replied softly, "The prestige of the husband makes the tree spirit change when you hear it, it can be seen that the tree demon is afraid of the husband, but the concubine wants to accompany the husband more, so that the husband will not be lonely and bored here." ”

"You are very sweet, and it is my blessing to marry you home. Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"Being able to renew the relationship with her husband is the blessing of the concubine and the world. Qingmei said angrily.

Just as the two were talking, Ning Caichen, who was in the nearby meditation room, heard a woman's voice outside, and it was impossible for there to be other women in the temple at such a late hour.

Immediately, he thought it was Nie Xiaoqian who appeared, and hurriedly ran out of the house; "Xiaoqian, Xiaoqian, is it you?"

Ning Caichen held the ash altar in his hand, and he didn't know where the courage came from, so he didn't shy away from it.

But when he rushed out of the meditation room, he saw a strange woman, this strange woman was also a flower and moon, and she looked pretty and lovely, and Nie Xiaoqian had their own merits.

"Li, Li Gongzi, this, this woman is ......."

"This is my inner relative, not your Nie Xiaoqian. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Inner family?" Ning Caichen's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "Li Gongzi, are you a human or a ghost here, how can you suddenly appear here in a good manner." ”

"Can you not care about Nie Xiaoqian's identity, if you like a female ghost, can't I have a ghost wife?" Li Xiu said from afar.

Ning Caichen was stunned: "But, but Li Gongzi, you said during the day that people and ghosts can't stay together, otherwise it will be bad for everyone." ”

"Yes, this is a fact that I can't change, so I'm so far away from Xiaomei, I hope you can remember my words, even if you like Nie Xiaoqian, you have to refrain from it, I won't remind you by your side every day. Li Xiuyuan said.

Ning Caichen blushed and said, "I, me and Xiaoqian, no, it's okay, we are innocent." ”

"Innocent?" Li Xiuyuan smiled: "I still listen to you talk about her during the day, you and Nie Xiaoqian stayed in the house for so long last night, and there were bursts of coquettish laughter from time to time, and Nie Xiaoqian blamed you for taking off her clothes." ”

"Hu, nonsense, we are just discussing poetry, and we are not doing anything unethical. Ning Caichen was thin-skinned, and at this time his face turned red and said, "Li Gongzi, you can't insult people's innocence." ”

"Then tell me why Nie Xiaoqian blames you for taking off her clothes?"

Ning Caichen said anxiously: "How can I blame me, it's Xiaoqian who said that it was a little hot and wanted to take off her clothes, besides, how can you just take off a piece of clothing and lose your innocence, this is just taking off a piece of clothing, it can't be counted, it can't be counted...... Besides, Xiaosheng and Xiaoqian are in love with each other,"

Qingmei and Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh when they saw him like this.

"Husband, don't play tricks on your friend. Qingmei smiled, feeling a little rude, and said.

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about that, now you see, who's coming. Li Xiuyuan suddenly pointed to the door of the courtyard.

But I didn't know when, a beautiful woman in a white dress with a sad face was standing here, looking at this place with complicated eyes.
