Lingxian Zhenjun

Chapter 32

"Unlucky? How unlucky can it be, better than being cold outside and feeding mosquitoes?"

A few plates of side dishes and three bowls of rice were served, and when the guy in the store planned to leave, Sun Zhengde stepped on the stool with one foot, held the bowl with one hand, and stuffed the vegetables with the other quickly into his mouth, sucking the remaining vegetable leaves into his mouth In the middle of the day, the chopsticks rested on the side of the bowl, chewing with bulging cheeks.

"This matter, from my point of view, must be because the shopkeeper wanted to deliberately raise the price... I think back then, when I was going all over the place... when I was doing good deeds..."

Chen Yuan raised her gaze: "Eat well."

"okay."

The fat Taoist quickly put his feet down, and rushed the bowl into his mouth.The crazy old man on the other side looked at it with a smirk, grabbed the food with the Taoist, and gave it to the apprentice.

"Apprentice, eat quickly, he is going to finish the food, and I will beat him to death for the teacher later!"

Chen Yuan looked at the top-notch dishes in the bowl and couldn't laugh or cry, so she shared some in the master's bowl, and then finished the dinner noisily. At this time, the group of men in the hall also finished eating early and went upstairs to rest, and some of them went to the backyard.

Here, after paying for the meal, the fat Taoist asked the shopkeeper to lead the way noisily, to see what the bad luck was in the backyard, and when he went to the backyard, he saw two carriages parked there, side by side with the ox cart, the old cow saw The owner let out a 'moo' sound, and stepped on his hoof uneasily.

The front room in the backyard was brightly lit, and two men eating in the hall stood at the door with their arms folded. Sun Zhengde stepped forward quickly, and his fat face suddenly became bitter.

"By the way, I said it looks familiar... so it's them."

Inside the main room, candles were flickering in white wax. In the center, four benches were placed back and forth. Above was a pitch-black coffin. Reflected in the dim yellow firelight, some pores were creepy.

The two men in Tsing Yi at the door saw that the shopkeeper had led three people over to inquire.The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, pulled the two of them aside with a smile and whispered.

"Everyone who comes is a guest. How can we drive people to sleep outside in the middle of the night? There is room on both sides of the main room. Let them make do tonight. You see, there is a Taoist priest among them, with an expert by his side. Wouldn't it be better?"

Seeing what the shopkeeper said, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't refuse. After all, the inn is owned by someone else, so there is nothing wrong with wanting to make more money.

Over there, Sun Zhengde turned around when he saw the parked coffin and wanted to leave, but when he faintly heard the shopkeeper say "daoist" and "high man", he coughed dryly and puffed out his chest.

"Life and death are natural, and lying in the same room with the dead is like sleeping with the living."

Tilting her head, she approached Chen Yuan and whispered, "It's all bragging, my boss doesn't care."

"Then stay here, it's better than being squeezed in the car outside."

Seeing that both parties agreed, the shopkeeper grinned happily, and quickly called the waiter to bring three sets of quilts.

The main room stretches across the backyard, separated from the central hall by a hollow carved fence, decorated with porcelain vases and books.After the floor was finished, it was almost time. The shopkeeper held the candlestick and took the waiter to apologize to Chen Yuan, then went out of the eaves, and walked quickly to the door of the back kitchen of the inn, probably because he was afraid of getting bad luck.

"laity."

Sun Zhengde glanced at the closed door opposite, came back shaking his head with his wide sleeves, and greeted the two people at the door, "Both brothers, do you want to come in and rest?"

The two ignored him.

At the other end of the middle hall, Chen Yuan was sitting on the floor, using a chair as the head of the bed, flipping through the location closest to Linjiang County in "Miscellaneous Suspicions of Huangchuan", thinking that the Taoist was making noise, she scolded him and told him to go to bed quickly.

He coaxed the master a few more words, moved the oil lamp closer, and in the gentle flipping of the pages, a strange anecdote suddenly made his brows wrinkle.

……

Dark clouds cover the night sky and clear the moon.

The night was dark, and the sound of barking dogs nearby spread far away in the silent night.

Wang Wang~~
The lantern in the backyard of the inn swayed slightly under the eaves with ropes, and the wind ran into the open door, and a pair of white wax flickered along with it.

The snoring of the crazy old man lingered in his ears. Sun Zhengde tossed and turned with his big belly in his arms, unable to fall asleep no matter what, he sat up and stretched his neck to look at Zhongtang.

In the dim light, the coffin was quietly placed there.

On the opposite side, the lights cut out Chen Yuan's shadow and cast it on the wall, as if she was flipping through a book.Sun Zhengde felt more at ease, lay down again and tried to fall asleep quickly.

I don't know how long it took, the barking of dogs outside also stopped, the fat Taoist opened his eyes, feeling the urgency of urinating, wrapped in the mattress, he didn't want to get up ten thousand times, but he still couldn't bear the pain.

Immediately, he got up, put on his shoes and socks, and walked to the middle hall with the oil lamp in his hand.

The light on Chen Yuan's side had been extinguished at some point. Sun Zhengde looked at the coffin, swallowed his saliva, and called his host in a low voice, but unfortunately there was no response, so he had to bite the bullet and leave the main room. I don't know when I left.

"I didn't take the responsibility... half of the night watch... hiss, it's so cold."

The fat Taoist walked around to the hut by the side of the house, holding the lamp and murmuring, the candlelight shone on the ground, he tiptoed carefully to avoid the filth all over the floor, biting the hem of his robe, holding back the stench, he let out the yellow water in his body come out.

wow~
After urinating, I shivered, and gave a comfortable shudder, and then went back the same way, lay back on the bunk, closed my eyes and tried hard to fall asleep.

squeak~~
Suddenly there was the sound of old boards rubbing against each other, Sun Zhengde opened his eyes suddenly, his nerves tensed at this moment, and his plump lips trembled.

"Boss, is that you?"

He yelled, but there was no answer in the silence. Sun Zhengde swallowed and slowly sat up, and then there was another "squeak!" which was very clear in the quiet hall.

The fat Taoist turned his round face with difficulty, and saw the dark coffin behind the carved fence, and the coffin lid was moving aside little by little in the dim light.

'loser……'

Sun Zhengde, who was sitting on the bunk, was shaking all his fat, and the coolness crawled up the back of his neck, struggling to stand up, but his legs couldn't be controlled, and he couldn't use any strength.

squeak!
A corner of the coffin lid was removed, and Sun Zhengde stared at the exposed gap. The next moment, his pale and swollen palm slowly rose out, and the moment his black nails snapped onto the edge of the coffin.

Fat Taoist: "Ah!" shouted loudly.

In an instant, he opened his eyes suddenly, sat up sweating profusely, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the furnishings in the room.

"It turned out to be a dream. It scared me to death."

Feeling the pain of urination in the lower abdomen, I quickly got up and put on my shoes, walked out of the fence with the oil lamp, saw the quiet coffin, recalled the dream just now, hurriedly moved the distance, turned around tremblingly and walked towards the threshold.

squeak!
Before the feet fell, there was a familiar voice from behind.The whole person froze instantly, staring at the courtyard with wide-eyed eyes. Among the burnt out white candles, the coffin parked behind him, the lid of the coffin moved slowly to one side.

goo~
Sun Zhengde swallowed his saliva, his face was pale, he retracted the raised foot, turned back stiffly, and moved his foot back to the floor facing the wall little by little.

From the corner of his back, he vaguely saw a scene like a dream, one hand stretched out the coffin lid, he put the oil lamp on the table tremblingly, lifted the quilt and got in, pulled the quilt over and lifted his head cover up.

Boom!
Fat Daoist's heart twitched like the sound of the coffin lid falling to the ground, followed by another muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Boom!
Boom!
...It hit the ground one after another.

Sun Zhengde hurriedly retracted his feet outside the quilt, his frightened teeth were chattering up and down, and there was a sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, and he came towards him at this time.
