Chapter 303: Rest in peace
Chapter 303: Rest in peace
The Shang family's ancestor pretended to get up from the coffin, but his movements were extremely slow, probably because of the copper bell in the hands of the fourth son of the Shi family.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the copper bell was suppressing the Shang Family Ancestor, when the Shang Family Ancestor was about to stand up, the Corpse Boss directly tapped the red pen stained with Nascent Soul blood on the center of the Shang Family Ancestor's eyebrows.
"Fall down!"
The red pen of the Corpse Boss directly pressed the ancestor of the Shang family down. At the same time, the fourth son of the Corpse Family had already swung the copper bell over the ancestor of the Shang family's head.
Soon, the corpse finally closed its eyes unwillingly.
"Damn it, this foolproof thing was almost ruined by that reckless guy."
After saying this, the corpse boss looked at the corpse of the shop assistant and said, "Drag this unfortunate fellow away. Don't let anyone in without my order."
Over there, Elder Shang arranged all the shop assistants outside and started busying himself helping Old Five distribute invitations.
At the same time, the corpse boss used the blood of the Nascent Soul to write and draw on the face of the Shangjia Patriarch. Finally, he was seen with his hands stained with blood, and found the wine jar that sealed the residual soul of the Shangjia Patriarch and placed it on the altar.
"Third brother, you will be in charge of summoning the spirits!"
The corpse boss did not close the red coffin and said this.
The third son of the Shi family said, “It takes me a lot of effort to fold the paper, but it happens to be night time, so it’s just in time to attract the merchant ancestor.”
After he finished speaking, he took out paper, paste, bamboo strips, etc. from his storage bag.
Everyone saw his hands flying up and down, and soon he made a paper man out of bamboo strips and white paper.
Then he took out a pen and drew blush and the person's features on the blank paper dolls. Finally, there were six paper dolls and a paper sedan chair in the mourning hall.
Among the six paper figures, four are sedan bearers, and two are male and female guide boys holding lanterns.
At this time, Corpse Master San pinched a piece of corpse oil from the body of the Shang family's ancestor and applied the oil to the six paper figures.
At this time, the only thing that had not been painted on the six paper figures was the eyes, but Corpse Old Third was not in a hurry.
He said to Tian Lin and the others, "Everyone, let's all put on mourning clothes and hide our bodies, and let the evil spirit of the Shang family ancestor fall into the trap."
Mei Xiangu couldn't help but ask, "Is it that simple? Will the Shangjia Patriarch really take the bait?"
The old corpse said: "Evil spirits don't have much wisdom, they kill and eat people based on instinct. Now the remaining soul of the Shang family ancestor is here, and his body is also here. Where else would he go if not here?"
After saying this, he closed the coffin lid and asked the Shang clan leader, "How are the preparations outside going?"
Just then, Corpse Old Five came in and said to Corpse Old Da, "The invitations and everything else are ready, and the banquet is also ready. What do you want to say now?"
Boss Corpse looked at the sky and asked his fourth brother, "There is still about an hour left, so you can hang up all the wind chimes. When the moon rises, we have to hide our bodies."
Shi Lao Si said, "Don't worry, big brother. Just leave this to me." After saying this, he said to the Shang clan leader, "My copper bells are not cheap. If one breaks, you have to compensate me."
Regardless of whether Patriarch Shang agreed or not, the fourth son of the Shi family left the house and hung wind chimes at the front door and in every room.
By the time he finished everything, there were already more than twenty tables outside the lobby.
There were corpse rice, incense, candles and other items on the table.
Tian Lin noticed that the so-called corpse rice was actually dried maggots, but these maggots were quite large, and it was unknown what they were raised on.
By this time, it was already dark, and everyone followed the orders of the Corpse Boss and wore mourning clothes and retreated.
Over at the mourning hall, Corpse Old Third had finished drawing eyes on several paper figures. Tian Lin and others were in the side room, and through the window they saw two small paper figures holding lanterns, accompanied by four bearers carrying a sedan, leaving the Shang Mansion from the backyard.
As night falls, the moonlight shines through the clouds onto the merchant's old house.
At the gate of the empty old merchant's house, the sound of a door being pushed open was heard. The mummies seemed to come alive and walked into the yard with invitations in their hands.
They said nothing, as if they had rehearsed it, and each found a seat corresponding to his or her name and sat down.
At this time, the incense sticks were still burning, and the white candles reflected a red light, so that the pale faces of the mummies turned a little red.
The group of people just sat there like that until an hour later, there was the sound of the door being pushed open again.
Tian Lin and the others saw that the two guide boys who had left from the back door had returned. Behind them, four paper figures carrying a sedan chair were struggling to move forward, as if the sedan chair on their shoulders was weighed down by a heavy object.
Tian Lin and others knew that the ancestor of the Shang family was really found by these paper figures and invited back.
Everyone watched as the paper dolls carried the sedan chair into the mourning hall. Not long after, the sound of wind chimes suddenly rang out in the hall.
Tian Lin and others followed the previous instructions of the Corpse Boss and ran out of the house and towards the mourning hall after the sound of wind chimes rang.
At this moment, the entire business is hung with wind chimes, and the sound of countless wind chimes makes it very lively.
Not to mention evil spirits, even Tian Lin and others felt inexplicably irritated when they heard the sound of the wind chimes.
Everyone saw that the paper sedan and paper man had turned into a ball of fire, and that the bowl of Nascent Soul blood that had not been used up on the altar during the day had disappeared into the bowl.
Just before the burned-out candle, a red portrait of the merchant's ancestor appeared.
"Drawing to lock the spirit?"
Tian Lin remembered that when he was in Chenxiantang, he had seen a man named Zhou who had reached the Golden Core Realm perform this magical power.
This magical power can trap a person's soul or evil spirit on paper and turn it into a painting.
Obviously, most of the remaining soul of the Shang family ancestor was trapped in the painting at this moment.
At this time, Boss Corpse walked forward, put the scroll together, then walked to the red coffin and opened the coffin lid.
I saw that he had some water in his mouth at some point, and he opened his mouth and spit out the liquid, which blurred and washed away the figure in the painting.
The white paper turned white again, and the red figure painting had been twisted into a drop of blood.
Tian Lin and others saw that the remnant soul of the Shang family's ancestor was trapped in that drop of blood, making it impossible for Cai Hun to break free.
The corpse boss slapped the blood into the body of the merchant ancestor, and the corpse opened its eyes in an instant.
But before the corpse could stand up, the corpse boss closed the coffin lid and said, "Mourning!"
Except for Fairy Mei, everyone in the mourning hall, including Tian Lin, was crying.
The brothers of the Shi family were the most professional. When they cried, along with the wind chimes, it was like a lullaby, and the corpse in the red coffin gradually became quiet.
The paper sedan burned up, revealing only the body of Mr. Shang. But no one cared about Mr. Shang's body at this time. The old corpse said, "Let's take the coffin and bury this ghost as soon as possible."
The red coffin is extremely heavy, and even one with foundation-building skills would find it difficult to lift it.
Tian Lin, Ju Yunhai and others each held hands to carry the coffin, and under the guidance of the second son of the Shi family, they came to the back mountain which had been arranged long ago.
The coffin was buried, and Corpse Master Er took a huge stone and began to knock on the tombstone.
He said proudly: "This stone tablet is both a curse and a seal. As long as I write his date of birth and name on it, he won't be able to come out again."
