"Let's go, but now we have a problem to solve."
After a while, Ye Qing wiped the rainwater from his face.
"What's the problem?" Chu Nianjiu took out a bottle of wine from Shanhebei and took a sip.
"That's it...where is this place?" Ye Qing snatched the wine from Chu Nianjiu's hand and took a sip. The wine went into his throat, and a warm current spread in his intestines, dispelling the coldness of the night.
"Yes, where did this Turtle Foot House bring us?" the little Taoist priest said in shock.
Ye Qing curled his lips and said: "Generally speaking, Operation Turtle House has no specific target, but the places to stay are mostly near cities and villages."
"But we left Kamezuya halfway, so I don't know where this place is?"
"Brother, why didn't you say anything just now?" Chu Nianjiu looked at Ye Qing.
Ye Qing innocently said: "I just remembered."
"Then is it too late for us to catch up now?" the little Taoist priest asked hurriedly.
"Yes, as long as you can catch up." Ye Qing smiled.
"Uh... let's forget it then!" The little Taoist priest lowered his head in shame. Guizuwu traveled thousands of miles at night. He couldn't catch up at that speed.
"It's about three quarters of the Yin hour, and there are still about two hours before dawn. If we go by what you said, Wu Huan, Kamezuwu stops day and night, and will stay near towns and villages, so we only need to move along Kamezuwu. In that direction, if we walk for more than two hours, we should be able to reach a certain town or village, and then we will know the location." Lin Yuhuai said.
"Smart!" Chu Nianjiu snapped his fingers, walked to Lin Yuhuai, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Let me just say, you are more reliable, Yuhuai."
"Much more reliable than Wu Huan."
Ye Qing was speechless: "What does this have to do with me?"
Chu Nianjiu said matter-of-factly: "If we hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night and yelled and messed around in other people's bodies, would we have been spit out? Would we have been exposed to wind and rain here? Maybe we could have taken a ride. Secondly, Will we reach Tianyong as soon as we open our eyes?"
"Is it my fault?" Ye Qing touched his nose.
"Just realize that you were wrong." Chu Nianjiu patted Ye Qing's shoulder, looking like I was very pleased: "Okay, let's get on with it!"
After saying that, he walked forward.
"Okay, you are thick-skinned, you have the final say." Ye Qing spread his hands to Lin Yuhuai and the little Taoist priest, followed Chu Nianjiu, and walked in the direction Guizuwu left.
Although it was night and it was raining heavily, the four of them were in the God-washing realm, so it had little impact on them. Coupled with Lin Yuhuai's galloping horse talisman, the speed of the four of them was not slow, and they left in just half an hour. Several miles away.
"What's that down there?"
Suddenly, Lin Yuhuai, who was walking at the front, stopped and his voice was solemn.
The three of them were on a small hill. Ye Qing looked over and saw four people carrying a coffin at the foot of the hill, walking silently in the heavy rain.
Four people wearing black robes, with Yaksha masks on their faces, were carrying a coffin.
In front of the coffin stood a majestic big rooster, flapping its wings and croaking.
Behind the coffin lies a black cat. The black cat has smooth fur and its eyes shine with a strange blue light at night, making it look a little penetrating.
The coffin looked heavy and the ground was uneven, but the four people carrying the coffin felt like they were walking on flat ground.
Deep in the mountains, in the middle of the night, in the heavy rain, in the coffin, everything seemed so strange and eerie.
"Is he a human or a monster?" the little Taoist priest trembled, purple thunder flashing in his sleeves.
"Don't do anything yet, those are people."
Ye Qing stopped the little Taoist priest.
"They are people, those four are coffin bearers." Chu Nianjiu said: "Black cat, rooster, robe, mask, those are the standard equipment and characteristics of a coffin bearer."
"Coffin bearer?" Ye Qing was a little curious.
Chu Nianjiu said: "The coffin bearer is a very special profession, similar to the corpse carrier, corpse mover, coffin lifter, etc. It mainly transports the corpses of those who died in a foreign land back to their hometown for burial."
"Coffin bearers are a very mysterious profession. Because they deal with corpses all year round and often encounter evil and sneaky things, they have their own unique skills and inheritance. I once dealt with a coffin bearer by chance. So I know some of their rules and taboos.”
"First of all, not just anyone can be a coffin bearer. You must be a person born at 3:00 noon. It is said that at 3:00 noon, the yang energy is the strongest. Such people have a strong character, are not afraid of evil spirits, and have no taboos. Secondly, a coffin bearer must carry a coffin bearer. There are many taboos on the coffin. For example, you must wear a Yaksha mask. Yaksha is the ghost of Fengdu, which has the ability to frighten evil spirits and evil spirits. You must wear a black robe. The black robe is called the "No Taboo Robe", which means carrying the coffin at night, and there are no taboos; the rooster on the coffin is called "Walk the Road". Chicken, the walking rooster must be the most majestic rooster. It crows once every hundred steps. The crowing of the walking rooster has the effect of deterring monsters and warding off evil spirits. The black cat at the end of the coffin is called the cat of good fortune and misfortune. A very strange animal that can see ghosts, and the blessing cat is a cat specially raised by the coffin bearer. Once the cat on the coffin explodes, screams, or runs away, it means that it is in danger or strange; the coffin bearer usually walks at night , rest during the day to avoid scaring others; it is best not for others to suddenly disturb the coffin bearer while the coffin is being carried, otherwise something bad will happen; etc."
"It turns out there are so many ways to do it." Ye Qing listened with interest and learned a lot.
Chu Nianjiu looked at the coffin bearers who were walking away, and continued: "Generally speaking, if you are carrying an ordinary corpse, the coffin bearers only need to wear a robe without taboos and a Yaksha mask, but the coffin bearers below can Not only is he wearing a hundred-proof robe and a Yaksha mask, but the coffin is made of golden nanmu coffin, which has the effect of suppressing evil spirits. The wooden pole used to carry the coffin is a century-old peach wood pole, and the rope is soaked in black dog blood. The dog rope is tied with a seven-star knot, and the four corners are nailed with corpse nails. A chicken walks in front of the coffin, and a cat lies behind it. This is the highest standard for carrying a coffin. The name "King of Corpse Carrying" means that there may be extremely vicious people in the coffin below. s things."
"Really?" the little Taoist priest asked doubtfully.
Chu Nianjiu took a sip of wine and said in a low tone: "Carrying the Corpse King is very dangerous. It can be said that you have a narrow escape from death. Several of my coffin-carrying friends all died inexplicably during the process of carrying the Corpse King, and no bones were left. "
"Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I didn't know." The little Taoist apologized hastily.
Chu Nianjiu smiled: "It doesn't matter, it's been a long time."
"Okay, the coffin bearers have passed, let's go."
After coming down the mountain, Chu Nianjiu looked at the footprints left by the coffin bearers on the ground and said, "We can follow the route they took. The path taken by the coffin bearers is generally safer and we rarely encounter evil spirits." Strange."
"Meow……"
"Meow……"
"Meow..."
The four people rode paper horses. Not long after walking, a shrill cat meow suddenly came from the dark night.
The cat's meowing was shrill and rapid, as if it had encountered something extremely scary.
"No, something happened!"
Chu Nianjiu's expression changed, and he followed the sound and moved forward without thinking.
Ye Qing and the others did not hesitate and hurriedly followed.
Ten breaths later, Ye Qing and others saw the four coffin bearers. They were standing there with dull eyes. The rope on the coffin had broken.
, fell to the ground, the black cat and the rooster had long disappeared.
What’s even weirder is that there are countless ghosts floating around the coffin. Those ghosts are kneeling on the ground, kneeling to the coffin in the middle.
All the ghosts' movements were uniform, tapping together, and rhythmic, as if they had been rehearsed in advance.
"Hundred ghosts kowtow, the things inside the coffin are really weird."
Ye Qing's expression was solemn. Although the lonely ghosts were not very strong or insignificant, they were huge in number and infiltrated with weirdness.
"There are so many locust trees... This seems to be a place where shade gathers. No wonder there are so many lonely ghosts here." Lin Yuhuai looked around and said slowly.
Sophora japonica is also a wood ghost. Folks call it yin wood or ghost wood. It often attracts lonely ghosts. However, there are many locust trees here, the ground is damp and cold, and the yin is diffuse. It is a typical place where yin gathers, so there are So many lonely ghosts gathered here.
"boom……"
"boom……"
"boom……"
As Baigui knelt down and worshiped, the coffin suddenly started to shake, as if the things in the coffin were trying to break free from the shackles of the coffin, and as Baigui knelt down, the coffin shook more and more.
"No, we can't let the contents of the coffin come out."
Seeing this, Chu Nianjiu's expression changed drastically and he said hurriedly.
"Kill those lonely ghosts first."
Ye Qing punched out, and the foehn wind blew, turning countless ghosts into ashes, but the foe cleverly avoided the four coffin bearers.
Chu Nianjiu, Lin Yuhuai and the little Taoist priest were not idle either and started taking action one after another.
Although there are many of these lonely wild ghosts, they are not very strong. At best, they are powerful monsters. They were quickly destroyed by the attack of the four people.
After killing those lonely ghosts, Lin Yuhuai suddenly approached the coffin, and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand and was attached to the coffin.
"Chichi"
The coffin was eerily quiet at first, but then it burst into flames, and the coffin began to shake violently.
Ye Qing frowned slightly and stretched out his hand to press on the coffin. The shaking coffin was pressed several inches into the ground, and the shaking became smaller and smaller.
But Ye Qing, who was pressing the coffin, was not relaxed. With his strength, he could hardly hold the coffin board. And on his right hand pressing the coffin, there were layers of frost and an extremely cold aura. It was raging inside him.
"Save the coffin bearers first, they have a way." Upon seeing this, Chu Nianjiu said hurriedly
Chu Nianjiu raised his hand and popped out. A drop of water fell on the eyebrows of the two coffin bearers closest to him. The water droplets penetrated into the eyebrows of the two people, and a ghost figure floated out of the two people.
"Sure enough, it's a ghost, huh..."
After forcing out the ghost figures on the two of them, Chu Nianjiu stretched out his hand and held it, and the two ghost figures disappeared silently.
Lin Yuhuai raised his sleeves and punched out two yellow talismans, placing them between the eyebrows of the other two coffin bearers. The yellow talismans burned, and two ghost figures floated out, but they were shattered by two thunderbolts that followed closely.
The four coffin bearers, who had regained their consciousness, did not bother to say thank you, and hurriedly took out a dark yellow, rusty nail from their arms. The four of them stood at the four corners and hammered the nail into the coffin at the same time.
"boom"
"boom"
"boom"
The four of them held the mallet in one hand and the nails in the other. They raised their hands at the same time and lowered them at the same time. As the nails were driven into the coffin inch by inch, an extremely sinister aura seeped out from the coffin, and a thick layer appeared on the ground. Thick frost, vegetation withered.
But at the same time, the coffin shook less and less. When four nails were inserted into the coffin at the same time, the coffin stopped shaking.
