Chapter 137 Take over the coffin shop

After the Taoist said that, I was busy running outside, and I ran faster along the way than usual. Even if my grandmother died, I was not so anxious. Maybe I didn’t know that my grandmother was about to die, so I didn’t care much. When I found out, my grandmother died, and I had nothing to be sad.

But at this time, I became anxious.

After leaving the Taoist temple, I was busy entering the gate of hell. I thought I could not get out, but Ouyang Li was waiting for me at the gate of hell. When he saw me holding my hand, he walked back. As a result, we rushed to the gate of hell.

When we came back to the old man's coffin shop, Ye Wanzhen was sitting inside and crying, and Zong Wuze was also standing in the yard. Seeing that we didn't have much expression when we came back, half of the inside was squatting on the ground to burn paper money.

I was busy running inside, and when I entered the door, I saw the old man lying on the bed, his body was already stiff.

I knelt down but couldn't cry. Even if I felt so uncomfortable, I still had no tears.

Ye Wanzhen came in and gave me a stack of paper money: "Uncle Master has been through these days for you. Living people cannot enter the Gate of Hell. Uncle Master has long died."

After Ye Wanzhen said that, she cried, and then I realized that living people in the Gate of Hell could not get in.

I looked at the old man with the paper money blankly, what about me?

Thinking about the old man's kindness to me, he was busy burning paper money for the old man. I didn't cry when others cried, and I didn't cry either. In the end, the old man was held halfway and put it in the coffin. He swung the hammer that the old man usually used to knock nails, and nailed the coffin to death.

Then Ye Wanzhen and we were all wearing mourning clothes and kneeling outside, but Ouyang Li stood beside us and didn't wear anything.

"It's not easy to get buried. We'll wait for the burial tomorrow. We will take turns to watch tonight. In the first half of the night, Xiaoning and I will guard it, and in the second half of the night, and in the second half of the night, Zhenzhen."

Let’s prepare together, Zong Wuze gave instructions there, as if nothing happened to Ouyang Li.

Ouyang Li suddenly said, "Ning'er and I, you have to prepare for tomorrow's business." After Ouyang Li said that, he walked over, pulled a chair and sat down.

Even though Zong Wuze was unwilling to do so, he had to agree, turned around and looked at me before leaving, before going back to Yin and Yang Firm.

After everyone left, I leaned against the coffin and moved the brazier in front of me, burned all the paper money for the old man.

While burning, I wondered where the old man's souls had gone. If I went to the underworld and met the King of Hell, I didn't know if the King of Hell knew that the old man and I were a master-disciple relationship. If I knew, I might be able to take care of him.

Logically speaking, there will be no major incident when the vigil will happen, but something quite strange happened in the first half of the night.

Well, I felt the coffin behind me sounded loudly, and I became a little surprised. Why did the coffin ring? Could it be that it was going to be a zombie?

I turned around and Ouyang Li had already gotten up, and Ye Wanzhen walked out from the side.

"Senior brother said that no matter what happens, you can't open the coffin, just hand it over to half of the face.

There was still a sound in the coffin, and there was a thud. I asked Ye Wanzhen: "Will the old man survive? Why don't you open it and see?"

"No, Banmian and Senior Brother don't let you do it, so you should keep a watchful eye." Ye Wanzhen said and left, so I could always hear movements in the coffin in the first half of the night. I knocked twice at one time and twice at another, making people feel uneasy.

Finally, it was late at night. Banming and Ye Wanzhen came, and Ouyang Li and I got up.

Half face looked at the four corners of the coffin and asked Ouyang Li and I to go back first.

And I was really curious about what was wrong with the old man in the coffin and why he always knocked on the coffin.

After leaving the coffin shop, I turned back. Ouyang Li saw me go back and he went back too. As a result, I stood at the door for one night. Except for hearing the sound of thumping inside the coffin, I saw nothing else. Ye Wanzhen and Han Ming had never happened except for the night watch.

It was dawn in the morning, and there was no movement in the coffin. Half of them stood up. Ye Wanzhen followed him out and Wuze was ready when he left the door. The yellow talismans in his hand were longer than each other, so I asked him, "What's the purpose?"

"This is a talisman." Zong Wuze said and stuck it to the old man's coffin, and I asked, "Has the old man become a demon?"

Ye Wanzhen looked at me and explained halfway: "When the old man died, something came in and followed him in. He had to clean up before he could bury the old man."

While half of the face was talking, the sound of the old man's coffin became intense, and Zong Wuze slapped all the talismans in his hand on the coffin.

Han Fang brought two ropes as thick as arms, quickly tied them at both ends of the coffin, took out a thicker piece of wood, and penetrated them directly from the middle. The two of them lifted the coffin directly while lifting it up.

It was easy to walk outside to see the two of them. Ye Wanzhen held me with paper money in her hand. Ouyang Li walked from the front. While it was dawn, there was no one on the street, and all the way to the empty place on the back mountain. When it was time to get to the place, he burned the coffin.

The thing in the coffin doesn't seem to be a good thing. It's not until it's over until it's over.

In the end, half of the coffin was burned to a handful of ashes, and there was no need to collect the ashes. There was nothing left when the wind blew.

I was still open-minded, but when I saw the scene in front of me, the old man worked hard all his life, and in the end he was left with only a handful of ashes left, which was blown away by the wind.

I was a little disappointed on the way back, but Ye Wanzhen told me instead.

We will do this in the future, and I was surprised.

"What do you think will be good after we die? We save people, accumulate virtue and do good deeds in the world, but who can know about the affairs of the ghost world? If we don't destroy corpses and traces, we will inevitably be exploited if we encounter unforgivable things.

The body of the ghost master is regarded as a holy object for practicing martial arts by the ghost world, just like the thing in the coffin. If he hadn't occupied the uncle's body, how could he run into the coffin and turn into ashes?"

I understood Ye Wanzhen said this. Her mood finally got better when she went back. She didn't know that I just went back and asked me halfway: "Which one should you choose from the coffin shop or the candle shop?"

I stood at the door of the coffin shop and looked at him, but I didn't understand what he said.

Ye Wanzhen ran out again at this time: "That's right. Uncle Master only accepted two disciples in his life, one was half-faced and the other was you. Uncle Master's robe and bowl will naturally be passed on to you. When he became a master, he also took over the incense and candle shop. Now that Uncle Master is gone, you should share one of them. Half-faced lets you take on it, giving way to you."

I thought about it and we are all apprentices, so we can’t take advantage of them, so we said, “I can’t nail the coffin, you give me the incense and candle shop.”

Actually, I think that the incense and candle shop finally has some income, but I didn’t see any income in the coffin shop. After all, since I met the old man, I have never seen him sell a coffin.

"I will move to the coffin shop tonight, and there is this one." Banmen took out a book of incense from his arms and threw it to me. I took it and thought it was an account book, but after reading it, I was stunned. There was nothing on it, and it was blank.

So I asked Banmen, and Banmen said that I would know later that it was all about the incense and candle shop, just don’t lose it.

I naturally didn't dare to be careless when I heard Banmen say this. The incense is thin and I took it close to my body. When I saw Banmen took it out of my arms, I naturally had to keep it.

After a while, Hanbian went to the old man's coffin shop. I felt that the old man must have more than just such a thing. I was afraid that Hanbian would snatch it first, so I followed Hanbian to inside. As a result, Hanbian went in and turned over the old man's cabinet. Soon after, I found a coffin thin book in the old man's cabinet. When I saw that the coffin thin was exactly the same as the incense thin in my hand, I raised my eyebrows and wanted to take a look.

Banmian said, "You can't see anything if you look at yourself."

So I said again: "Didn't you see me too? If you don't show me, there must be something inside."

Half face gave me the coffin thin in my hand helplessly, so I opened it and looked carefully. After reading it, I became a little angry and muttered: "The old man is indeed biased. The things I gave you are all there, but there is nothing I gave me."

Banming was stunned when he heard this and asked me, "What have you seen?"

Without thinking too much, I told him what I saw in the coffin sheet. The first one was a large coffin. Half of the face asked me what kind of coffin it was. I said it was the old man, but there was a horn on the head of the coffin, which seemed to be a unicorn.

After hearing this, Banmen snatched my incense and gave me the coffin thin, and then said, "You should keep the coffin thin."

When I saw that half of the man was about to leave, I was busy asking him how he could return. Ye Wanzhen came to tell me again that these two books were originally two people. The old man finally guarded the coffin shop because he could see the things inside the coffin thin and could not see the things inside the incense thin.

I felt upset when I heard this. If I had known that I would not have seen the thin coffin, I could still live in the incense and candle shop. What's the use of guarding a coffin in a yard? What's more, who is still burying the coffin these days?

During the festival, whether it is April Qingming Festival or July Ghost Festival, there are always people going to the grave to burn paper, but who has heard that they have nothing to do to buy a coffin and be buried.

I couldn't be happy all day long because of this. Fortunately, Ye Wanzhen told me that if I was not used to living in the coffin shop, I could go to Yin and Yang Firm to live there, and no one here would steal the coffin at night, and she would have contracted it as for dinner.

I felt better after hearing Ye Wanzhen say this, but I still cleaned up the old man's coffin shop and always had to live in it. No matter how bad the coffin shop is, it will be my own in the future. I just don't care. I can sell it a lot of money even if I sell it.

I was thinking about this when I suddenly heard a loud bang outside, and the sky in the eighth and nineth month of the lunar calendar actually made a thunder.
