From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 172

Henry Zhang and Ren Tingting didn't care about the marriage of Wang Fagui's son Wang Caihu, and ordered the housekeeper Uncle Wang to prepare a congratulatory gift and gift money, and it would be over when it was delivered that day.

These days, Henry Zhang asked Ren Tingting and A Bao to be responsible for opening the door for treatment, but he hid in the backyard to build the Yin-eating coffin.

The whole body of Shenyin wood is hard, even an ordinary sword would be difficult to work on this wood.However, Henry Zhang has a black bone dagger, which is not a problem, but it is more cumbersome to use this black bone dagger without the broad blade of this knife and axe.

The Yin-eating coffin is a first-class murderous coffin for raising corpses. Naturally, it is impossible to engrave auspicious clouds and white cranes like ordinary coffins.

Instead, it is engraved with strange characters the size of tadpoles, and there are some totem patterns that seem to be the totems of frontier peoples. It looks weird and extraordinary, and it makes people dizzy after staring at it for a long time.

Henry Zhang's main engraved patterns are big and small blue-faced evil spirits, all of them have fangs bared, fierce eyes and long hair.

They look like devourers with ferocious faces, occupying the two sides of the coffin. At first glance, they look like ghosts carrying the coffin, but when you look closely, they look like a hundred ghosts fighting for food, so weird.

The vertical panel at the head of the coffin depicts a simple monster totem, with a sheep-faced human body, eyes under the armpit, and fangs bared in a roaring shape. It is a fierce beast.

Henry Zhang used this black bone dagger to carve the last stroke, and the breath of the coffin suddenly changed as if the temperature in the backyard had dropped. A black coffin seemed to keep attracting people's attention, and there was a feeling that people were about to be sucked in.

Henry Zhang summoned General Black and let him lie in the Yin-eating coffin, and closed the coffin lid.Then the space of the black coffin was taken back, and after a while, when no one in the old church buried the Yin-eating coffin, it would be done.

And when Henry Zhang finished building the Yin-eating coffin, the wedding of Wang Fagui's son Wang Caihu was also going on.

Wang Fagui is a greedy businessman. Although he married his son for the purpose of carrying on the family line, it cannot be separated from the business experience in his heart.

The girl his son married was also from a wealthy family, and she was the daughter of Boss Li in the next town.

The marriage between Wang Caihu and Miss Li's family was actually not without the meaning of marriage, and it was also for the purpose of doing business together.

But in this way, welcoming the bride has become a big trouble. This trouble is not about the wedding gift, but about traveling, which is quite difficult.

You must know that the period of the Republic of China was not like modern times. At this time, there were many rules, not to mention, the people on the road to greet relatives relied on eight large sedan chairs, but there was no such convenient transportation as modern times.So Wang Caihu's wedding reception team went to the next town early in the morning to greet the bride.

They greeted the bride at the bride's house according to the rules, the joy was ringing non-stop, and there was a lot of noise for a while. It was finally the afternoon when the bride was picked up in the wedding sedan chair.

Time was running out, Wang Caihu picked up the bride, and the welcoming team started to rush back, for fear that it would be too late to catch up with the auspicious time for the wedding.

The bearer also knew that time was tight at this time, so he had to work hard and speed up to carry the bride back to Renjia Town, otherwise the salary would not be so easy to get.

The welcoming team hurried back under the sound of suona.Whether it was the bearer or the maid who sent relatives off as a dowry, they couldn't help speeding up their pace, for fear of being scolded by this violent Wang Caihu.

After walking for a while, the sky has begun to darken, turning blue, and a pale yellow moon has begun to climb up.

Wang Caihu rode a tall horse and walked in front of the team with the matchmaker. He looked up at the moonlight, then turned his head to look at the panting bearer, and couldn't help frowning. He asked, "Matchmaker Wang, will this Can't make it?"

Matchmaker Wang has been running matchmakers in these ten miles and eight towns all year round to talk about marriage, and Guangcai has traveled to the two towns several times for Wang Caihu's marriage. This road is already familiar and can't be more familiar.Looking at the sky, and then looking at the appearance of the bearer, I'm afraid there will be a rest in the middle, which will definitely delay the time.

She looked distressed, and said falteringly: "Maybe it's time to delay the matter."

When Wang Caihu heard this, his eyes widened: "Do you want to delay the time?"

Matchmaker Wang's collection of money naturally depends on other people's winks, so she can only explain: "Hey, Young Master Wang, isn't this the bride's house that has been making trouble for a long time?"

Matchmaker Wang spoke in a low voice, for fear that the bride in the sedan chair would hear her.But when Wang Caihu heard this, his face softened a bit, but his brows were still frowning, and he asked, "Is there a shortcut around here?"

Matchmaker Wang is really in trouble, she stammered: "Yes, but this road is not easy."

She looked left and right, and then came close to Wang Caihu's ear and said, "The forked road ahead is a shortcut to the left, but there is a cemetery over there, so it's unlucky."

When Wang Caihu heard it, he thought it was some kind of mountain road that was not easy to walk, but it turned out to be just a cemetery, so it was nothing.So he said: "Let's go, just go over there. Isn't it the cemetery."

Seeing him talking like this, the matchmaker couldn't say anything, although it was a bit unlucky.But it's not that those who received relatives in the past did not pass through the cemetery. You must know that many people have died in this era, and you don't know where they are all buried. Sometimes the grave may be at your feet and you don't know.

Not to mention that in some villages, because of Fengshui, the cemetery may be at the head of the village. It is impossible for you not to pass by. If the matchmaker saw Wang Caihu talking like this, she trotted to the bearer and took the The matter was told to the bearer.

After hearing this, several bearers nodded repeatedly, expressing that there was no problem.

The welcoming team came to the side of the fork in the road, and instead of walking according to the original route, they chose the shortcut to the left.

I have to say that this shortcut is really much flatter than the original road, but the shortcut is no better than the avenue across the mountain, the path is much narrower, and the trees on the side of the road are also much denser.

It was getting later and later, and the roadside was pitch black, thanks to the two red lanterns in front of the team that illuminated the road ahead.

The night became more and more silent, and the insects all around stopped and stopped with the sound of people's footsteps, reflecting the indescribable sense of tranquility against the sound of suona in the middle of the night.

The welcoming team was walking, when suddenly there was movement from the bushes on this side.

"Swish"

I don't know what it is, shaking in the bushes.

The team stopped suddenly, and Wang Caihu said in surprise, "What is it?"

Everyone looked over in unison, and saw several pairs of red light spots in the bushes looking at them.For a moment, the team didn't dare to move, and didn't know if it was a ghost or a beast.

Just at this moment of hesitation, the horse under Wang Caihu slammed and neighed, and the bush suddenly moved, and three or five strange black birds flew out from the middle.

When the person holding the lantern took a photo, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a few crows.Everyone cursed secretly for making such a fuss.

Wang Caihu cursed even louder: "Bah, it turned out to be a crow, I knew it would have brought a slingshot and hit you."

After a false alarm, the team continued to move forward.After passing the bushes just now, everyone realized that they had already arrived near the cemetery, no wonder there were crows flying out.

Walking through the cemetery without any risk, Wang Caihu wiped away the cold sweat behind him, and said to himself, "I just said it's just a cemetery."

Everyone thought of Wang Caihu's performance just now, and wanted to laugh in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it, they could only keep it in their hearts and do their own things.

Suddenly, a suona sounded, the sound was sad and miserable, and it was even more frightening in the night.When Wang Caihu heard it, he was furious. This was clearly the sound of funeral suona music. Does this suona player want to die?
He turned his head and scolded: "Zhao Fang, you can't die if you want to, bragging about it!"

Zhao Fang looked dazed, the suona was still on his waist, he hadn't recovered after being so frightened just now, there was no time to play the suona.Mang Mang said: "Young Master Wang, I didn't brag about it."

Just after the conversation ended, the suona of the funeral was getting closer and closer. Not far in front of the team, suddenly a group of white men and horses appeared. Everyone was dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, holding two white lanterns, and wrote a big letter A founding character is clearly a funeral procession.

The matchmaker's heart skipped a beat, this is a matter of red and white.
