Folk funerals can be simply divided into two types.
One is day burial and the other is night burial.
Sun burial is a normal process. The first seven people watch the funeral and are buried, with filial sons and grandsons leading the way, and relatives and friends mourning behind.
Night burials are more special. This type of burial is basically for people who died unexpectedly due to various reasons. They are afraid that their resentment will not dissipate after death. The first seven ghosts will be fierce on that day and hurt their families, so they must be promptly Buried to prevent accidents.
One thing that is more special about night burials than day burials is the funeral specifications. In addition to filial sons and grandsons, there are also two lamps to guide the way.
The spirit-guiding lamp is also called the soul-inducing lamp.
According to folklore, the spirit lamp can open a way to the underworld for the buried, and it can also serve as a warning to inform the living people and lonely ghosts around.
Someone is on the way, please give way.
Shen Lin's eyes flickered. He stared closely at the two blood-red lanterns, simulating all the situations in his mind.
If the prediction is correct, these two spiritual lamps may be the key to restarting the ghost funeral.
Shen Lin was still thinking about what those two lamps belonged to, whether they were supernatural objects or part of a ghost funeral.
"What did you find?"
Zhao Ziliang's weak voice came from beside him. He looked in a miserable state, with cracks all over his body like a piece of granite that had fallen to the ground. It looked like he was on the verge of life and death just now. If Shen Lin hadn't given up the coffin at the last moment, Once closed, Zhao Ziliang is probably already a corpse.
"The situation is very complicated, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. I suspect that the ghost funeral is an important factor in the balance of the evil ghosts in Fengmen Village. It is precisely because it stopped that everything became more and more extreme. To improve everything, the ghosts must be restarted. Funeral." Shen Lin said.
"Restart the ghost? Is this possible? Don't wait until you restart the ghost. Let's get in first." Zhao Ziliang looked at the ghosts around him. He has not forgotten what he suffered when he stopped these things. , I was still in my prime at that time, if I had to endure it again, it was still unclear whether I would survive.
"Okay, take those two lanterns and guide the ghosts' spirits. We will be the guides for the ghosts' funeral."
"Are you kidding? You are holding those two lanterns and leading the way for ghosts. Do you know what you are talking about?" He Tianxiong shouted. The ghosts in front of him made him full of fear and fear. He was worried about Shen Lin's plan. One hundred and eighty against.
These words seemed to ignite the smell of gunpowder that had accumulated in the air for a long time. Shen Lin's body flashed red directly in front of He Tianxiong. He grabbed He Tianxiong's collar and spoke viciously.
"If you're afraid of death, get out of here. If you want to survive, don't complain to me. Remember, it's you who want something from me now. Correct your posture. You only need to do two things, obey and be obedient."
"Are you threatening me?"
He Tianxiong's angry words came out from between his teeth. The two of them were so close, so close that they seemed to be about to fight in the next second.
"So what?" Shen Lin stared at the other person's eyes and groaned word by word.
The two sides are at war with each other and are on the verge of breaking out.
"Okay, okay, what time has it been? Are you children? Are you so confused about the importance?"
Zhao Ziliang hurriedly came up to persuade him.
The persuasion here is not all to ease the relationship between the two parties. As a ghost controller who has direct contact with Shen Lin and even fought against him, Zhao Ziliang knows the nature of the guy in front of him.
He is an out-and-out lunatic, crazy to others and even crazier to himself.
If He Tianxiong might be just pretending, then Shen Lin, a lunatic, would really take action.
What's more, you never know what this madman has up his sleeve.
The group of Shanshui Community, who thought they were in a dead-end situation, were suddenly walked out of the situation by the other party.
From the moment they met again, Zhao Ziliang knew very well what all this meant. It was best not to become an enemy of Shen Lin. This is a lunatic with an above-average IQ. He dares to gamble with you at all costs.
You'd better not bet with him because he will always win.
Shen Lin grabbed the opponent harder and harder, and his eyes became colder and colder, filled with murderous intent.
He really had murderous intentions, and the current situation was not irreconcilable. There were two spirit lamps, and he and Zhao Ziliang had just the right number of people. He Tianxiong's presence was just the icing on the cake at best.
What's more, the conflict with the circle of friends cannot be eliminated. This guy originally came to kill him, and now he behaves like this.
No one can guarantee what will go wrong in the future.
One mouse excrement can ruin a pot of soup. In this situation, Shen Lin did not allow any mistakes.
He Tianxiong also had a cold face and faced Shen Lin tit for tat. Just as he was about to retaliate, he felt something. The silent ghosts around him seemed to have made some movements. The movements were so subtle that it was difficult to detect without paying attention. , which made his pupils dilate, slightly in disbelief.
Shen Lin's acuity was far superior to that of He Tianxiong. The moment the ghost made a move, he directly let go of He Tianxiong's hand.
"There is no time to think about it. The Ghost Funeral will absorb someone every once in a while. This kind of absorption is almost impossible to resist. We must restart the Ghost Funeral as soon as possible."
Shen Lin suppressed his voice, and his low roar silenced everything around him. The presence of several horrors made the atmosphere depressingly terrifying.
When the evil ghost comes, the fight at this time is seeking death. Shen Lin once personally experienced the horror of ghost funeral, and the ghost coffin almost broke through the blockade of the ghost pawn shop.
If this situation continues, anything may happen. Maybe in the next second, they will be killed by the evil ghost without any warning.
The three people realized everything at the same time.
Zhao Ziliang gritted his teeth, his expression hesitant but determined, as if he had made a decision.
He walked towards the two ghost figures at the beginning, looking at the two blood-red lanterns with fear in his eyes. Who knew what would happen if he picked up the lanterns.
But do they have any choice now?
Resolutely, he stretched out his hand to attack. Zhao Ziliang was worried that he would shrink back due to fear for a second.
His hand touched the pitch-black lantern pole without any hindrance, and it felt cold. A cold aura spread around him from the lantern, like the erosion of a ghost.
This kind of erosion is not fatal, and it is not even an itch for Zhao Ziliang who carries the ghost skin.
With a gentle tug, the blood-red spirit lamp was in Zhao Ziliang's hand the next second.
The red light enveloped his whole body, making the surroundings look a little weirder.
Shen Lin saw everything about Zhao Ziliang through the red light. Obviously, there was no problem with the other party, which showed that his guess was right!
Facts speak louder than words. He Tianxiong also saw all this and gritted his teeth. He also stepped forward and grabbed another lantern.
It is unrealistic to try to get Shen Lin to take action in this situation. He must show his role, otherwise he will be abandoned by Shen Lin without hesitation.
At this point, He Tianxiong was very confident.
In the pitch-black night, the scarlet light emitted by the blood-red lanterns became the only source of light in this world. Everything around them was terrifyingly quiet. Two or three cold winds blew on their cheeks, and the cold breath reminded the three of them all the time. , they are still alive.
Time passed by minute by second, and there was no need to delay. Zhao Ziliang and He Tianxiong were not stupid people. They were fully prepared the moment they held the spiritual lamp.
Just like Shen Lin said, they are part of the ghost funeral at this moment, and they are the guides of this fierce ghost.
They attract ghosts and spirits!
After a brief silence, He Tianxiong and Zhao Ziliang looked at each other, and they took the first step in perfect agreement.
The pace is hanging in the air, and nothing has happened yet. His left foot landed, but nothing happened.
It was at that moment that they felt that the ghost figures behind them seemed to be taking a step forward in unison with their footsteps.
it works! Joy filled the faces of the three of them at the same time, which at least showed that what they took such a huge risk to do was not in vain.
"Don't be anxious. It's best for the two of you to stay on an even footing and not be too far apart. The most taboo thing about guiding spirits is that there is too much gap between the front and back." Shen Lin warned that at this point, they could not tolerate any mistakes.
"Okay, where to go?" Zhao Ziliang asked hurriedly.
To guide spirits, there must be a direction. They cannot wander aimlessly throughout the village.
Shen Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. He had expected the answer to this question a long time ago.
"Go to the village entrance! East of the village entrance!"
If the prediction is correct, the moment they arrive, the missing half of the corpse and the suppressed grave will appear, and he can also use this to get the bone pen.
This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. While maintaining the balance of Fengmen Village, it can complete the task of the ghost pawn shop.
He Tianxiong's face was ugly. He was obviously not happy, but his steps did not slow down. From the first step, he and Zhao Ziliang maintained the most basic balance. Both sides held lanterns and moved slowly according to Shen Lin's command. Heading towards the entrance of the village.
Silence became the only main tone in the night, and there were only two people holding lanterns to guide the way and countless ghost figures behind them.
At the moment when he was taking steps, the coffin inexplicably returned to its original state, and the ghostly figure carrying the coffin silently arrived. Shen Lin stood beside the black coffin and moved forward slowly with the team.
Shen Lin guessed that all this was not ordinary wood, but the evolution of evil ghosts. This feeling was very strange and could not be explained.
The team's progress is very steady. Although the speed is a bit slow, it will be completed sooner or later.
Things progressed as expected, and Shen Lin slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, a cold breath came, as if something broke into the ghost funeral procession. Shen Lin seemed to feel the instability of the procession, and felt a shock in the dark.
It was as if a slow-moving vehicle had hit something.
At this moment, Shen Lin heard a roar.
That was Zhao Ziliang's voice, and the roar was filled with sadness and disbelief, which made his pupils slowly dilate.
At this moment, Shen Lin looked through everything at the front of the team, and he seemed to see something.
It was a sedan chair with front and rear doors.
Ghost sedan!
