……

As the saying goes: Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, and evil comes from the gallbladder.

Ma San and Li Wu had evil thoughts for money, so they went to this messy grave in the west of Zhenxi to dig coffins and steal money.

"one two Three……"

The thick coffin lid was pulled up vigorously by the two men who wrapped the coffin nails with thick hemp ropes.

Crunch!

The lid of the coffin was opened with a big hole.

There is a saying among those who dig coffins and steal treasures: the coffin is divided into two boards, "heaven and earth", and the thick coffin lid on the top represents the sky, and it must not be overturned on the ground, otherwise it will be "overturned the sky". If the coffin lid is pressed to the ground, it will bring bad luck.

So the two men pulled the thick coffin lid with hemp rope, and when they were about to stand it up, Li Wu saw a big tree behind him, and shouted, "Don't bother, tie it to the tree behind!" So he pulled the rope and pulled it back, pulled the tree down, coiled the rope around the tree waist, and tied a dead knot.

Ma Sanlei was sweating profusely. He sat on the mound and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said, "The lid of this coffin is really heavy, it's a good material!"

"If you see it is good, you can carry it back and sleep on a bed!" Li Wu said.

"It's better not to talk nonsense about this joke, lying on the coffin board to sleep, committing a taboo..."

Li Wu's face was numb and trembling, he stared at Ma San and said, "Who are you kidding? Hurry up and carry the corpse!"

Seeing that Li Wu was angry, Ma San wisely stopped talking, picked up a short rope from the side of the shovel, tied a loop in his hand, put it around his neck, bent down and picked up half a candle, Zhuguang stretched out his head to look into the coffin, and shouted, "Eh? Something's weird..."

"Why, did you dig the wrong grave?"

Seeing that Ma San was suspicious, Li Wu walked over shyly with his big belly, and stretched out his big, pockmarked face to look into the coffin. There was a woman lying in the coffin, with a blessed face, a slightly rosy complexion, and a plump figure. Fair skin, quite attractive, if not for wearing a white jacket shroud shroud pants, it would seem to be lying asleep in a coffin, it really does not look like a dead person.

"Is this Zhang Dahu's daughter-in-law? Why isn't she a hanged figure with a long tongue and staring eyes?"

Ma San rubbed his eyes, looked at the female corpse for a while, and said, "That's right, brother! I look a bit like it!"

"Could it be that people have lost their appearance after death?"

Li Wu went around to the tombstone with a big belly, and saw the brand-new tombstone engraved with the name "The Tomb of Mrs. Zhang Wang", thinking that the coffin hadn't decayed yet, and the tombstone was new, so it should be correct.

Li Wu was looking at the tombstone, when a strange wind came from nowhere, blowing the sand and flying across, the two candles were blown out, the surrounding was pitch black, and in an instant, the dark clouds in the night sky were blown away by the strange wind, A full moon was exposed hanging in the sky, illuminating the entire graveyard brightly.

Ma San sat on the coffin, looked around, then looked at Li Wu, and asked in surprise, "Why is there an evil wind when it's so good?"

"Forget it, I can't care so much, hurry up and lift the corpse!" Seeing the change of sky, Li Wu was anxious.

"okay……"

Ma San spread his legs, straddled the coffin, bent down and used the rope around his neck to put a set on the head of the female corpse, and with his waist strength, he lifted the upper body of the female corpse. Legs and feet are still in the coffin, the body is tilted, and Ma San's neck is hanging by the neck, face to face.

Ma San closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at the female corpse, turned his head and shouted to Li Wu: "Brother, the corpse has been lifted up, hurry up and find the treasure!"

Li Wu jumped into the coffin with his big belly, touched the necklace and jewelry inside with his hands, and put it in his arms while wrapping up his clothes, thinking to himself: This lady added a lot of things to herself when she was alive, but after she died, she left everything behind. into my hands!

"Brother, this woman is too heavy, my waist is about to break..."

"Persist for a while longer!" Li Wu saw that there were still two strings of jewelry in the coffin, but was stepped on by the feet of the female corpse, unable to move, and shouted to Ma San: "Put on harder, go Lift up!"

"I'm eating hard! I can't lift it anymore!"

Ma San pulled the noose around his neck with his hands, and he was only half a foot away from the face of the female corpse. If he tried hard, the female corpse would embrace him. Ma San's nose tingled, and Ma San wondered, what kind of smell is this?Why is it so fragrant?
Ma San couldn't help but slowly opened his eyes, and peeked at the face of the female corpse.

Ah!
The female corpse's eyes opened at some point, and she stared straight at Ma San!

"Damn..."

Ma San seemed to be poured a bucket of cold water suddenly, his scalp was numb, the hairs all over his body stood upright, his waist lost strength, his legs softened, and he fell into the coffin together with the female corpse. Li Wu was lying in the coffin Moving the feet of the female corpse, it felt like something had fallen from her head, and before she even had time to lift her head, it was crushed underneath.

At this time, another strange wind blew from nowhere, and blew on the half-standing coffin lid. The two hemp ropes couldn't bear the force, and suddenly cracked and broke. The coffin lid snapped shut, and Ma San and Li Five, there is still that female corpse buckled in the coffin...

……

After being blown away by gusts of strange wind, the dark clouds slowly gathered in one place, completely blocking the moonlight.

At this time, in a house in the town, seven red candles were placed according to the pattern of the Big Dipper. Most of the candles had already been burned, and only the flame was flickering, flickering and flickering...

Qi Lianshan sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed, his brow furrowed in frown, his hands kept shifting in front of his chest, and he shouted to the old lady Liao beside him from time to time: "Borrow the wind!"

Mrs. Liao sat beside him and put seven bowls upside down on the ground to form a tower. A piece of yellow paper was pasted on the bottom of the bowl at the top, and half a red candle stood on the yellow paper. Mrs. Liao Staring too closely at the flame on the candle, when he heard Qi Lianshan yelling for the wind, he covered the candle with his hand to suppress the flame, as if his hands were not afraid of the burning of the candle.

The moment the flames were covered, a sudden gust of strange wind swept across the air, swirling the dark cloud away and blowing it away, revealing a full moon.

This is the "wind escape" method of controlling the wind in Qimen Dunshu! '.

inside the house.

Bai Shibao was lying flat on the bed, his face was purple, and the spell on his chest was drawn with a red pen, which was shining with the rise and fall of his chest. His hands were hanging by his sides, when his fingers suddenly moved!
"it hurts……"

Bai Shibao felt indescribably hot all over his body, like a bonfire burning inside his body, the heat was rampant in his body, the pain felt like his flesh was being torn apart, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

At this time, Bai Shibao felt someone push his body, which brought a burst of coolness to his body, and his body was not as dry and hot as before. When he woke up, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a familiar face in front of him, smiling at him. with.

"Brother Xu?"

The person standing in front of Bai Shibao was exactly Xu Fu, the ghost who swore to Bai Shibao that day.

Xu Fu was dressed in black, with a white background embroidered on his chest, on which was written the word '加' in black, and an anklet with an iron lock on his waist, standing in front of Bai Shibao, arching his hands and saying: "Last time It's been a few days since we parted, I really miss my brother!"

Bai Shibao struggled to sit up, rubbed his eyes with his hands, looked around again, felt strange, and asked, "Brother, where am I?"

"You are in their house..." Xu Fu pointed out the door with his hand.

Bai Shibao looked out the door and saw Qi Lianshan and Mrs. Liao were sitting in the yard, with a formation in front of them, the candlelight was flickering, and they were casting spells on a person on the altar in front of them. Bai Shibao saw that the person was Lan Xin'er, and asked anxiously :"What are they doing?"

"They're casting spells to save your friend's life!"

Bai Shibao asked again: "Why are we here?"

"Brothers don't know, last time you fainted in Miao Jiang, they dragged you here. Because of the time limit, I rushed to escort the ghost to the underworld to die, so I didn't follow..."

Bai Shibao nodded after hearing this, and thought: So I met a good man!

Turning to look at Xu Fu again, I always felt that something was wrong, suddenly realized, and hurriedly turned around to see that my body was lying flat on the bed, and suddenly said in surprise: "Ah, no wonder I can see you... When will my three souls come out?" Got it?"

Xu Fu said helplessly: "Brother, the acupuncture points of the physical body have been touched, and the qi and blood of the body have been blocked, so it seems to be on fire. Now the three souls can't stand the pain, so they will come out... Come out to cool off..."

Bai Shibao saw that his body was covered with spells with red pens, and there was a bruise on his throat, and he thought to himself: Those two people in the courtyard must have cast some kind of spell on me in order to save me!Looking back at Xu Fu, who was dressed in official uniform and wearing iron locks, he asked Xu Fu, "Brother Xu, is he on official business?"

"Received the official order from the Yin Division, come here to collect the souls of two people and send them to the Yin Cao!"

Bai Shibao said with a touch of emotion: "Unexpectedly, Brother Xu is busy with work, so he came to see me..."

"..." Xu Fu smiled.

Bai Shibao thought that he had never seen a ghost messenger catch a ghost, so why not go and see something new with him, anyway, his body is on fire now, wouldn't it be a pain to go back?It's best to come back after the body cools down!
"I don't know where Brother Xu is going to catch the soul?"

"The random graveyard in the west of the town!"

Bai Shibao asked: "I haven't seen how the ghost messenger seduces the soul and catches the ghost. Can I go with you?"

"Exactly!" Xu Fu nodded.

Bai Shibao pushed the door open and looked at Lan Xin'er in the courtyard, he was a little worried, wondering if these two could save Lan Xin'er, he was worried and hesitant.

Xu Fu guessed Bai Shibao's thoughts from the side, and said, "Don't worry, brother, your friend is fine!"

Bai Shibao thought he was right, if something happened, Big Brother Xu would come here to collect the three ghosts, so he nodded to Xu Fu, followed behind him, bypassed the formation altar in the courtyard, did not go through the door, but Come out through the wall.

"Damn old man!"

Mrs. Liao seemed to have noticed something, and winked at Qi Lianshan.

"Don't be distracted, save the one in front of you first..."

"..."

Besides, Bai Shibao and Xu Fu walked leisurely to the random cemetery in the west of Zhen, stepping on the dark wind.Xu Fu led Bai Shibao to a tombstone. Bai Shibao saw that the coffin was exposed outside, and there were piles of wet soil everywhere. Two shovels, half candles, and hemp rope were scattered on the ground. He was surprised: Has this grave been dug?

Bai Shibao half-jokingly said: "The two ghosts that Brother Xu wants to catch are probably in this coffin, right?"

Xu Fu pointed to the coffin and said, "There's one inside!"

"What about the other one?"

Xu Fu turned around, looked at Bai Shibao, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, to tell you the truth, today I received the official document from Ghost Secretary to urge the soul, and there is a record of my brother's name on it!"

Bai Shibao's eyes widened and he said in shock, "What? The other one is me?"

Xu Fu nodded.

"I...how did I die?"

Xu Fu took out the official document from his bosom, frowned and said: "There is a man who died today, named Guarjia Shibao, located in the south of Wuxi Town, an old house in an ancient temple. Banned, stagnant qi and blood, sudden death, verification of experience and date of birth, matching of horoscopes, outline of the ghost king, human Cao Quanbi, seduction of souls by order, souls to death, lunar calendar Gengwu years..."

Bai Shibao kept shaking his head and said, "Impossible, I have one year left in my lifespan, it must be that Yincao made a mistake in the document!"
