At this time, it was getting late, and the dignitaries of the town kept coming forward to talk to Zhang Hang and Mu Bixing.Most of these people came to invite the two of them to their house for dinner and stay overnight.The reputation of the Zhenling Division is far away from the town, and if someone from the Zhenling Division can live in the house for one night, and then send some silver taels, ask for a peace charm, and the spirit will not dare to make trouble.Sheung Shui Town is located in a remote area and is sparsely populated, and it is also a rare opportunity to meet people from the Town Spirit Division, even if Zhang Xuanmu is only a Jiupin corpse protector, these people are also vying to invite.However, these benefits obviously have nothing to do with Ding Xiao.At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, wearing a blue-background finch pattern official uniform.As soon as Zhang Mu and the others saw the official uniform on this person, they already knew the identity of this person.According to the records of the Zhenling Division, this person's name is Li Shang, and he is the head of Sheung Shui Town.Three-star spirit disciple, the strength is one level higher than Zhang Mu and the others, and the spirit phase is a second-order beast spirit phoenix-tailed blue feather finch!
Zhang Hang and Mu Bixing hugged their fists and said, "The Nine Rank Corpse Protector of the Corpse Department of the Zhenling Division has seen Master Li."
The town spirit division sent the coffin to borrow the road, and there was a lot of disturbance, please forgive me. ”Li Shang smiled slightly, hugged his fists and saluted back, "The two of you are polite, the Zhenling Division guarantees the safety of one party, why bother it." ”"I see that it is getting late, and the two of you have been tired all the way, so it is better to rest in my house tonight, and I will do my best to be a landlord."
Zhang Mu and the two glanced at each other, since the town head came forward in person, it was difficult for them to refuse.What's more, looking at Li Shang's diligent appearance, it is estimated that he has also taken a fancy to the peace charm of the Zhenling Division, and when the time comes, he will not be stingy than others.Seeing that the two of them did not refuse, Li Shang looked at Ding Xiao not far away again, and his face was sad, "These years have been raging, and this coffin needs to be placed carefully." ”Zhang Hang immediately said, "Master Li doesn't have to worry, Senior Brother Mu and I have already laid down the spirit talisman, we just need to find a remote place and place the coffin." ”Li Shang nodded, said a few words to his subordinates, and personally took Zhang Mu and the others away.After a while, a subordinate of the Li Mansion stood five or six meters in front of Ding Xiao with a food box, and said to Ding Xiao, "Little brother, come with me." ”Li Shang didn't invite him, and Ding Xiao was not surprised, after all, he was a coffin bearer.The coffin on the back does not leave the body, it is inconvenient to come to the door, and it is necessary to settle outside the town.The subordinates of the Li Mansion called him "little brother", which was already friendly, and in the past, other people would probably only call him "Hey, coffin bearer"."
Thank you."
Ding Xiao said a word, and followed the man to the outside of the town.The man led the way in front, and secretly looked at the coffin behind Ding Xiao from time to time.After walking for a while, the man couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, I heard that the spirit evil has been very fierce over the years, and the fierce phase has been frequent, and even your Zhenling Division has a headache, is it true?"
”Ding Xiao looked at the servant and said, "I'm just carrying the coffin, and I don't know about it." ”Ding Xiao didn't want to say more, but the other party was still asking, "Fifteen years ago, Luofeng City was slaughtered by ferocious slaughter overnight, some people say that the city was shrouded in black fog that night, and in the early morning of the second day, the corpses and bones in the whole city were piled up like a mountain......
"There are more than 200,000 people in the city, and none of them survived!"
”"Slaughtering a city overnight, what kind of fierce god is that!""
Ever since that night, this has happened again and again!
The situation of the soul borrowing the corpse is also out of control, and it is even said that it is nine out of ten corpses, which is really scary. ”Ding Xiao was slightly stunned.Fifteen years ago......
Fallen Maple City......
Ding Xiao had read about this from "Notes of the Corpse Department", but he only knew a rough idea, after all, this level of spiritual evil was not the turn of the corpse to intervene.Although Ding Xiao didn't answer, the servant said to himself, "Hey, these days, it's really getting more and more chaotic, it's not easy to live, and it's not easy to die peacefully." ”It's not easy to live, and it's not easy to die peacefully......
Ding Xiao felt the same way."
By the way, some people say that you are the one who carries the coffin......
It's a person who has stepped into the underworld, so even if the corpse turns into a demon, the spirit will not attack you, is it true?
”Ding Xiao shook his head helplessly, this guy's curiosity is a bit heavy......
If you don't answer him one or two questions, he's afraid he won't stop.Ding Xiao sighed and said, "When we carry the coffin, our backs are against the bottom of the coffin, and the corpse is facing outward. ”"Actually, there are soul talismans, and there are not many cases where the soul borrows the corpse to cause trouble."
The man nodded as if he suddenly realized, "I see, it's ......"
What made Ding Xiao miscalculate was that even if he answered a question, that guy didn't seem to have the intention of stopping.Along the way, he never stopped, and kept talking.Whose old man has "returned" again, whose grave has something strange again, and even the old man who has been buried in the past has become restless."
In the past, it was said that the soul of grievances would not be dispersed and it was easy to get into trouble, but now, it seems to have changed."
Ding Xiao didn't answer much, he just wanted to get to the foothold as soon as possible and take a breath and rest for a while, but he couldn't finish talking.Ding Xiao frowned and suddenly interrupted him, "You are afraid of me, so you keep talking all the way to give yourself courage?"
”The man was suddenly stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "This ......
Truth be told, it's a little bit, but ......
But I'm more afraid of the thing you carry......"
Ding Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, the Spirit Talisman is still there."
I'm not half-human, half-ghost, just lead the way quietly. ”After that, the man did stop a lot.After leaving the city, they didn't go far before they came to a small ruined temple."
Little brother, Lord Zhang said that it is best to place the coffin in a spiritual place, although this temple has been abandoned for many years, but it was once a temple, you can rest here......
That, I'm not coming in. ”"Remember that you have used these utensils, they need to be broken and buried!"
The man stood at the door of the ruined temple, put the food at the door, and hurriedly turned away.Ding Xiao has been a coffin bearer for six years, and he knows the rules of coffin bearers very well.The person carrying the coffin has been carrying the coffin for a long time, and in the eyes of everyone, it is inevitable that the person carrying the coffin will look at it differently, and even the tableware they have used needs special treatment.When he saw the man departing, he carefully untied the rope of the coffin and laid it flat.Lighting the soul-attracting lamp, Ding Xiao turned around and glanced at the statue of the god enshrined in the temple.The idol was mutilated, half of the face was missing, and it was impossible to see who the god was, and it was covered with dust.In the dim light, the smile of the mutilated idol seemed a little hideous, as if it had come to life with the beating of the firelight.Looking at the statue, Ding Xiao sighed, "Can you really suppress the spirit?"
If so, why is it that the gods are silent when the demons are raging and the gods enjoy the incense?
”It turns out that it still depends on the spirit talisman!
Ding Xiao glanced at the spirit talisman, which shone with a slight golden light at night, and there was nothing abnormal."
Hey, I'll spend the night here tonight, and I'm much more comfortable without those two guys."
Immediately, Ding Xiao went to the door to get the food box and ate it in a big gulp.In the dead of night, in the empty ruined temple, the faint light swayed, and only the sound of Ding Xiao's dishes and chopsticks hitting was heard.Just as Ding Xiao was feasting, a strange sound came from behind him.Ding Xiao hurriedly turned his head and stared at the coffin not far away, even the chopsticks were hanging in the air and forgot to put them down!
The voice just now......
It seems to be coming from that direction!
