I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 213 The Taoist who digs the grave

The whole house was full of candles, and the figures were shaking.

It was a festive scene, but with the coffin placed in the middle, all the festivities turned into weirdness, and even the guests at the scene felt terrified.

"A worship of heaven and earth..."

Someone shouted in a trembling voice.

Among the three people in the hall, each of them is holding a spirit card, which represents the groom.One person supported the bride in the wedding gown, but the bride's limbs were stiff, which added to the weirdness.

Song You, Empress Sanhua, and the gray-clothed swordsman all stood beside each other, each staring at the scene ahead, one with a calm expression, one with curious eyes, and one with indifference.

The little lady of the Cao family also stood behind them, her face full of fear.

"Second worship high hall..."

"Happy husband and wife..."

Standing beside the gray-clothed swordsman, the young lady of the Cao family stared blankly at the scene in front of her, clenched her teeth, trembling with hatred and fear, tears ran down her face, she couldn't stand still, and fell limp to the ground.

The gray-clothed swordsman quickly helped her up.

Stand up, but still not steady.

"Don't be afraid."

Until the voice of a Taoist came from beside him.

This voice seemed to have the ability to calm people's mind. As soon as she heard it, her heart really calmed down a little bit, and her fear also went away by a third, no more, no less, just enough to make her maintain her posture, It wouldn't make her lose the emotion she should have here and now.

"I and my companions will be safe, and there will still be punishments and retributions for these people in the hall." Song You whispered to her, so that no one else could hear, "However, the matter has come to this, the most urgent thing is to please your step." Think about it, what to do in the future, and any compensation you want, you can bring it up later."

The woman Xu was speechless and did not answer.

Song You also continued to look forward.

It never occurred to them that this place was already in such chaos when they reached the edge of Angzhou and Hezhou.I didn't expect that when I went to the north, I didn't see a monster, but I saw a person who looked like a monster first.

The sound of blowing and beating ahead is still there.

It's just that after the worship, instead of being sent to the bridal chamber, the bride was pushed into the coffin.

The bride is a dummy, so she didn't struggle.

Otherwise, it is hard to imagine how cruel the scene is at this moment.

"laugh……"

The coffin lid was slowly closed.

The little lady of the Cao family trembled again, but fortunately she was supported by a swordsman—if it wasn't for the two people around her who came here today, she would be the one who was sealed in the coffin at this time.

It was blowing again.

It's just that what was played just now was still a joyous horn, but now it has become a sad music. The connection between the two is almost seamless, but the transition is abrupt, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Immediately, several middle-aged women knelt in front of the coffin, weeping loudly, as if attending a funeral.

The old man of the Ding family came to Song You again.

"Sir, it's time to be buried."

"..."

Song You nodded, but did not speak.

"Funeral!"

Someone shouted.

It was still the group of people who carried the sedan chair just now, I don't know if it was the foot-lifters who were specially used to carry the coffin, they raised the coffin with a yell, but just now they carried the sedan chair into the door, but now they carried the coffin out again.

Everyone went out with the front and the back.

Song You glanced at the little lady beside him, knowing that she definitely would not dare to stay in the mansion alone, so he turned his head and said, "If you can still walk with your feet, you can go with us and meet the high-ranking man who asked to be buried with you." If you can't walk anymore, let my companion stay here with you, don't worry, this companion is highly skilled in martial arts, he is the number one swordsman in the world today, and he will definitely protect you from harm."

"..."

This little lady was only in her teens, and she was really scared to the extreme, but she turned her head to look at him, and then stumbled forward.

Seeing this, Song You also followed.

Along the way, gongs and drums were beating, firecrackers were blasting in unison, paper money was flying, and the smell of smoke filled the air. Accompanied by the unique shouts of the Tiaojiao Gang with strong local characteristics, they passed through half of the village.

"Jasmine is the fragrance..."

"Hey..."

I don't know how many people were woken up, and the villagers knew about it more or less. At this moment, they all got up and opened the windows to look out.

Song You noticed these gazes.

Some are very numb, some are pure curiosity, some are resentful, and some seem to find it novel and exciting.

It wasn't until someone saw the Taoist, the swordsman and the young lady of the Cao family who were supposed to be in the coffin at the end, that they showed surprise, and couldn't help whispering after the funeral procession had gone away.

The sound of discussion also reached the Taoist's ears.

"Didn't you say that the little lady of the Cao family should be buried together? Why is the little lady of the Cao family still there?"

"I said that the Ding family can't do such a thing!"

"Mostly, it's because I'm afraid of the government."

"The Ding family is still afraid of the government?"

"..."

The Taoist remained motionless and walked forward calmly.

The night wind blows, the candlelight flickers, and it's hard to tell whether it's smoke or fog.

Gradually came to the halfway up a hill.

Song You doesn't know Fengshui, so he can't see any beauty here, but in his opinion, there may not be any mystery of Fengshui.

The tomb has already been repaired, and the time of burial has been calculated, and everything is determined by that expert.For a big family like the Ding family, procedures and ceremonies are indispensable.

Song You just stood and watched silently.

There was a howling sound ahead, the burning paper money was blown by the wind, and sparks floated everywhere.

The scent of the incense is very strong.

"Crackling..."

The sound of firecrackers echoed in the mountains.

According to local customs, after the burial, the relatives should plant poplar branches on the top of their heads and go home quickly.

The lights in the mountains formed a line.

"gentlemen……"

The old man walked up to Song You again.

Facing the rich man who decided to send people into the coffin to be buried alive, Song You still smiled and said to him: "Old man, the dummy made of grass and trees can't be too far away from me. It will turn back into grass and trees again. Based on my guess, if Sun and Cao's young lady are buried here to change Feng Shui, I'm afraid it will take a while longer. Please go back first, and I will wait here for a while , so that the family can rest easy."

"Oh, thank you sir." The old man quickly saluted, "How dare you let sir wait here alone, this old man asked a few young men to accompany you here."

"It's useless to have too many people, please go back."

"..."

When the old man heard it, although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to refute such metaphysical things, not to mention the accidents at home some time ago, several people who died in a row, ghosts wandering around in the middle of the night, and tonight's clear night like a god angry The thunderbolt frightened him so much that he didn't dare to question it for a while, so he had no choice but to agree.

"I don't know when sir will come back?"

"Maybe before dawn, maybe after dawn."

"The old man is waiting for you, sir."

"Please come back..."

"This young lady of the Cao family..."

"The little lady was so frightened that she didn't dare to trust you anymore, so she stayed with us, and we brought her back together."

"Thank you sir..."

The old man nodded, and with the support of his junior, he left without looking back.

Only the young Taoist was left on the scene, the three-flowered cat with an ignorant but curious expression at his feet, the cold-faced gray-clothed swordsman, and the woman who stood on a tree branch.

"Taoist priest……"

"Ok?"

"What are they doing?" Mao'er's voice was soft, his eyes were clear.

"nothing……"

The young lady of the Cao family stared down at her.

I saw the young Taoist sitting cross-legged on the ground, stroking Sanhuamao's head, and looking up at her: "Don't be afraid, I am a Taoist from Yinyang Mountain in Lingquan County, Yizhou. I have traveled here, and I met Ding's family It's all fate, I'm waiting here at this time, I just want to see the people behind the scenes, as for the two next to me, one is Mistress Sanhua, who used to be a cat god worshiped by many people on Jinyang Road in Yizhou, and the other It's Shu Yifan, a well-known hero in the world, and he will never harm anyone."

"Many...thank you sir..."

"There is also Empress Sanhua."

"Many... Thank you, Empress Sanhua, and thank you, hero..."

"..." Song You smiled, "Have you thought about it clearly, what is the future?"

"I have no idea……"

"Although you are young, you are quite courageous. You can think slowly." Song You said, looking into the distance, "But please be quiet from now on, don't startle anyone who comes."

"..."

For a while, no one spoke here.

Only the candles in front of the tomb were still burning, the flames were flickering, and the paper money was not burned out. Occasionally, it was blown up by the wind, and a few sparks came out, and the smell of incense candles and wine wafted in the wind.

From time to time, there was the cry of night owls.

It was the fourth watch at this time.

About five o'clock, there was a sudden movement in the distance.

The three-flowered cat was the first to notice it, and turned to look there, followed by the gray-clothed swordsman, while the Taoist seemed unaware, sitting cross-legged.

The little lady of the Cao family was cold and scared, shivering and shivering.

"Pfft..."

There was a sound in the air, and a big crow flew over and landed on the grave.

Under the sky full of stars, there are several figures coming.

It can be vaguely seen that the leader is wearing a long robe, with fluttering long hair, and is walking slowly with a shovel on his shoulders. The two behind him are stiff and strong, and they follow closely behind.

When he got to the grave, he began to dig the grave.

Under a row of cypress trees in the distance, a swordsman stands with a sword in his hand, showing no murderous intent on his body. The three-flowered cat stretches its neck, with only novelty in its eyes, and the Taoist sits cross-legged, watching quietly.The people in front of the tomb in the distance were only digging the soil with a shovel, and they didn't notice the people here.

The new grave just buried is easy to dig.

The hastily built tomb is not complicated.

Dig up the soil above, remove the stone slabs, and there is a coffin underneath.

The two figures behind this person stood still most of the time, and only after the person ordered, they came to do some chores that required strength, and then stood still again after finishing, not looking like a living person.

Not long after, I saw this man ordering the two people behind him to pry open the coffin board.

"hey-hey……"

The man bent over, as if carrying a dead body.

"Stay here with one step."

Song You finally got up and walked slowly.

The swordsman followed immediately.

The three-flowered cat turned its head and stared at them blankly, and when it saw them take a few steps, it quickly followed.

It wasn't until the person in front of the grave brought out the dead grandson's body of Ding's family and brought out the second one, murmured a few words to the dead body, and didn't know what to do when he cast the spell, that he realized something was wrong and whispered "Huh?"

Almost at the same time, the crow beside him also called out.

"Ah~ah~"

The man straightened up immediately, and turned his head to look behind him.

"Who?"

The wind blows the fog away, two figures, one big, one small, three figures walking towards him in the dark night, the one walking in front is a young Taoist.

"how?"

As the young Taoist approached, he asked, "Have you found out that it is also a fake? Or are you wondering where all the souls have gone?"

"!"

The person instantly became alert.

Song You gradually approached, and with the help of the starlight, he could barely see clearly that this person seemed to be wearing a Taoist robe, but it was dirty and tattered, with a beard, and he looked quite old.And behind him, there is a tall young man, carrying a heavy long knife, and a middle-aged strong man who is also not short, I don't know if he is strong or fat, in short, he is holding a pumpkin hammer .

The Taoist digging the grave narrowed his eyes and looked at Song You: "Where is the Taoist friend? What does this mean?"
