When I met the old man, his attitude was completely different from before. I sneered secretly in my heart. In this world, you really need to have strong power to be qualified to speak.
If I hadn't shown this hand, I'm afraid the people in this room would have kicked the three of us out as troublemakers.
"The deceased died violently, with a lot of resentment. As expected, the body will be exhumed tonight. All your immediate family members will find a place to hide at night. I will give you a stack of talismans later, and then stick them in front of the door. There is no need to come to the wake inside the house, including on the windows, the three of us are enough."
I held a cigarette in my mouth, and my eldest son beside me quickly took out a lighter and stepped forward.
Phew~
As a thick puff of smoke spurted out from my mouth and nose, the old man next to me nodded heavily, then turned around and shouted to the people around him: "Did you hear that? Everyone stay in my room tonight, Master." He will give us immortal talismans to protect us, and we should take good care of the children in each family. If something happens if they don't obey, don't blame the old man for not reminding me."
After the words fell, everyone nodded in response. Now that something like this has happened, and with the methods I revealed earlier, they will not question anything at all, but secretly pray in their hearts that it can be resolved soon.
"You take these talismans and distribute them. Remember, you are not allowed to leave the room after they are posted. No matter who calls you from the door, you are not allowed to open it. Even if you hold it in, you have to hold it in until tomorrow morning, you know?"
I slowly took out a thick stack of talisman paper from my pocket and handed it to the old man, while speaking in a serious tone.
"I understand, master, let's just do what you say. Alas, the master who claimed to be Liu Xian's disciple also came here before, but he just said that he was too cruel and needed help and left. This is not the case now. None of them have come back. Fortunately, we have you, otherwise we wouldn’t know what to do.”
After taking the talisman, the old man's expression softened a little.
"Don't worry about him. I'm taking over your business now. Just do as I tell you."
After hearing this, I knew who this so-called disciple of Liu Xian was. Isn't this the common man who helped the Huang family speak before?
To be honest, his counselor was not qualified to handle this matter. The main reason was that the person who died was too vicious. Even I found it very difficult to solve it.
Of course, this is not a tricky thing to worry about, but it means that a lot of time will be wasted. The body will be ejected if it is contaminated by evil things. Even if it is solved, the first seven days will be busy. On this day, the soul of the deceased will go home to see his relatives for the last time. If it is normal, , usually they will leave to reincarnate after reading it, but the sudden death is not as simple as just coming to see it, but it is very possible to kill their loved ones and take them away in minutes.
"Okay, Master, I'll trouble you three tonight. Do you think the cost of the consultation...?"
The old man quickly apologized with a smile, but at the end of his words, his expression suddenly became awkward.
"As long as you mean it, I'll give it to you. I'm not here specifically for money. Of course, since ancient times, it's a natural rule to give money when doing things. You have to give what you should give. As for how much you give, it's up to you."
I raised my eyebrows, then responded calmly.
"Okay, master is indeed a master. I admire the old man. The money will definitely be more, as long as you can handle this matter well."
The old man couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that I didn't speak loudly like those people before. In fact, the conditions of his family were not bad. Both his sons and daughters could make money, but they spent so much money at once, and things were so complicated My son couldn't figure it out, which made him feel very distressed. Now that he sees me being so casual, let alone being happy.
After chatting for a while, the time soon arrived in the evening. Brother Kong Ming and I had important things to do, so we had a simple meal and hurriedly called the old man and his family back to the house.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to be quite casual. If it were me, I would definitely charge you a lot of money. This kind of thing is thankless, and I feel sorry for not getting some reward for my hard work."
In the mourning hall, the three of us first found a table and placed it directly under the coffin, and then started chatting for a while.
"Excellent, senior brother, money is something external to the body. It cannot be brought with you during life or taken with you after death. Moreover, this is an act of saving people. How can it be treated as gold and silver?"
Hearing this, Kong Ming on the side quickly shook his head and sighed.
"I think what your senior brother said is very good. There is no one who works hard without getting paid. Although I am not greedy for money, at least I have to give him some meaning. I have a breeze in my sleeves and a high moral integrity. This kind of living is just for the sake of fame. Sooner or later you will starve yourself to death, only a fool like you would do that."
I crossed my legs and smiled disdainfully.
"That's right. Kong Ming, why do you have to be so tired when you live? It's not good to do as you please. What we do is not illegal or disciplinary. Don't refuse what you deserve. I won't take anything that I shouldn't, brother. I'm sorry. Point, living comfortably is the most important thing.”
Kong Wen said as he took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and put it in his mouth.
"Oh, you smoke too?"
Seeing this, I chuckled.
"Brother, although it says - "Smoking is harmful to health", have you ever seen anyone abide by it? Smoking is a mood and a feeling. Smoking is not sugar, and it is not sweet when you put it in your mouth. "
As soon as the words fell, Kong Wen picked up the match and started puffing away skillfully.
"Oh, you two are really on the same page, and the little monk can't save you."
Seeing this scene, Kong Ming in the middle could only shake his head helplessly.
"Come on, why are you saving me, and what's the use of others' help? In the end, you have to save yourself. Besides, don't bring up the Buddhist rules and precepts to talk to me. I often break the rules. Maybe it's just your senior brother. Only then did I understand.”
I grinned.
"No, I just choose to return to secular life because I don't follow the rules. It's too hard to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. It's better to eat meat and drink alcohol. No, after returning to secular life, my life is more and more prosperous. I practice kung fu every day and help my elder brother with some work. , not to mention how comfortable it is.”
Unexpectedly, Kong Wen waved his hand and showed no good impression of Buddhism at all.
"Amitabha, Buddha, you have to forgive these two people. They are just blinded by the things in the world of mortals. Sooner or later they will wake up. That's good, that's good..."
Seeing that Kong Wen and I were talking more and more outrageously, Kong Ming was simply selectively deaf and immediately stopped talking to each other.
Huhuhu~!
At this moment, a strange and sinister wind suddenly blew in the mourning hall. Then, the coffin suddenly began to make a sound, from which it could be heard that someone seemed to be chirping, accompanied by heavy breathing.
"Hehe, here we are, it looks like we have a lot of work tonight."
Seeing this, I raised my eyelids slightly, and then gave Kong Wen a look.
"Interesting, but it's just an appetizer. Let me start."
Hearing this, Kong Wen stood up slowly, his eyes becoming extremely sharp in an instant.
