I survive in the weird Liaozhai
Chapter 9: The Coffin
Their eyes met, and Manager Song did not hide anything, but walked towards the master and disciple with confidence.
Seeing this, Taoist Qi Yuan subconsciously protected Gu Nian'an behind him and bowed.
"Manager Song, it seems that today is not a good time to hold a funeral. Why don't we..."
Song Qingshan waved his hand.
"Master Qi Yuan, just take care of the arrangements. I don't understand these matters and I won't interfere."
"Just, Taoist priest, why don't you first introduce this talented person next to you?"
Before the Taoist priest could speak, Gu Nian'an stepped out from behind Taoist priest Qi Yuan.
With a smile on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "I am Gu Nian'an, the disciple of Taoist Qi Yuan. I am just a Taoist boy who has not yet received any reward. I am not qualified to be called a talented person. I am just here to see if I can help you with something."
Hearing this, Manager Song forced a smile on his gloomy face.
"That's great. With your help, I think the tasks assigned by the master can be completed as soon as possible."
"Manager Song, you're welcome, but shouldn't we make arrangements for the person in the coffin first? It's not good to just block the door and let people watch the fun."
"It was my negligence. There are so many irrelevant people gathered here. It's not right. I will drive them all away immediately. I'll have to trouble the two Taoist priests to deal with the coffin."
Before Manager Song could take any action, the old Taoist raised his eyes slightly and looked at the people in the distance who were watching the excitement.
"Manager Song, it's best not to drive those people away now. The more people there are, the better. With more people, the yang energy is stronger, which can just suppress the yin energy of the coffin, making it easier for us to open the coffin."
"Okay, everything will be arranged by Taoist Qi Yuan."
"It's three quarters past noon. Now is the time when yang and yin alternate, when yang is at its strongest and heaviest, and yin is at its weakest. Open the coffin immediately!" The old Taoist priest suddenly looked serious.
Manager Song understood and said loudly to someone beside him:
"Li Hu, find a few strong guards to carry the coffin."
A moment later, eight strong young men came out of Li's house, holding hemp ropes and bamboo sticks as thick as thumbs. After some work, they tied a knot firmly outside the red coffin and shouted:
"rise!"
The eight big men exerted all their might, their faces flushed red, before the red coffin trembled and rose from the ground.
Just after taking two steps, an accident happened. The strong man on the side of the coffin lost his strength and fell forward.
Gu Nian'an had been staring at the entire process without blinking since the coffin began to be carried. As soon as the accident happened, he took action immediately.
Qi stepped forward, one hand like a tiger claw, grabbed the shoulder of the strong man who was about to pounce on him, and with a clever force, he threw the strong man weighing over a hundred pounds behind him, and with his other hand, he firmly grasped the bamboo stick that was used to carry the coffin.
The first feeling is heavy and cold, but this is not the most important thing.
The important thing is that the strange cry for help sounded again.
"Let me out, let me out, my child, give my child back to me, I want to go out, I want to go out."
Gu Nian'an frowned. It was too noisy, making his head hurt, but it was just the same sentence over and over again, and he couldn't make any clue.
Moreover, no matter whether it was the people carrying the coffin, the people watching the fun, or even the old Taoist Qi Yuan, there was nothing unusual on their faces.
So I'm the only one who can hear this sound?
I calmed down and didn't think too much about it, let alone promote the matter.
The seven people in front plus Gu Nian'an carried the blood-red coffin and slowly retreated back to the inner courtyard of the Li family. It seemed that the funeral could not be held today, so they could only retreat back to the Li family and make plans later.
When the red coffin was carried into the yard.
But I saw that several sturdy long wooden benches had been placed in the yard.
And around the long wooden bench, there were circles of lime powder.
The earth has its own aura, which can easily hide the aura of dirty earth.
“So the coffin must be placed on a wooden bench in the air to isolate it from the ground.
If the coffin is left in contact with the ground for too long, the dead person inside will absorb enough of the foul earth air and will easily rise from the dead body."
"And sprinkle a layer of lime powder on the ground. The lime powder can absorb the moisture and evil spirits of the earth veins, and can better isolate the coffin from the earth's energy."
After placing the coffin on the wooden bench, the seven men carrying the coffin all turned pale and collapsed to the ground exhausted.
Gu Nian'an felt okay, just a little cold.
At this time, Taoist Qi Yuan was not idle either. He quickly arranged for the Li family's servants to help the exhausted coffin bearers lie down on the side of the courtyard away from the coffin to "bask in the sun"
Gu Nian took a closer look and was shocked to see more than a dozen strong men lying there in a neat row.
It was only a few hundred meters back and forth, but more than a dozen people were killed. What kind of person is this in the coffin? Is he so cruel?
Taoist Qi Yuan was busy, but Gu Nian'an was a little bored. After the Taoist priest had calmed down, he slowly walked to the Taoist priest.
"Master, are you done with your work? What are your plans next?"
...What plan? What plan? The things in this coffin are too evil. To be honest, he is a little helpless now.
"Hey! Nian'an, why don't you listen? You can see the situation. It seems that we are trapped. It's difficult to get out!"
The old Taoist priest's tone sounded a little decadent, and his body was a little hunched.
Seeing the old Taoist priest Gu Nian'an looking a little dejected at this time, he felt a little distressed.
Putting aside other thoughts, Gu Nian'an smiled and spoke in a cheerful tone.
"Master, it's not that serious. Don't worry, don't worry. I'll protect you. Nothing will go wrong."
"After this incident is over, we can use the money given by the Li family to renovate the Taoist temple. You can raise birds and plant flowers in the mountains. Think about whether it will be a happy life."
Taoist master Qi Yuan looked at his disciple who was smiling all over his face, and pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, hoping that he could pass this level safely.
Gu Nian'an thought for a moment before speaking.
"By the way, Master, Junior Sister is still waiting at the inn. We have been out for a while, and I am afraid she will be worried, so why don't you go back to the inn and let Junior Sister know that we are safe."
The Taoist priest wanted to refuse at first, but after a moment's silence he agreed.
Yes, what's the point of him staying here? Before he can figure out a way to deal with the coffin, he can only hold back his apprentice.
After watching the old Taoist and Manager Song say a few words and leave, the smile on Gu Nian'an's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes became somewhat cold.
