From Jiu Shu's world

Henry Zhang cupped his hands and said: "Dare to ask the old gentleman, but is it Senior Huai Bailiu?"

The old man nodded and said, "I am."

Henry Zhangdao: "Junior Henry Zhang, it was Uncle Simu who asked me to come here to ask Senior Huai about it."

Hearing the name of Priest Simu, Huai Bailiu's tone fluctuated a bit; "Oh, Simu? This guy hasn't been here for a while."

Henry Zhang handed over the talisman given by Uncle Simu. This yellow talisman was only half, and it was regarded as a token of Simu and Huai Bailiu.Huai Bailiu took the half of the yellow talisman, glanced under the lamp, and then looked at Henry Zhangdao: "Since it is the nephew of the guy with four eyes, let's go into the room and talk."

Huai Bailiu stepped aside and let Henry Zhang walk into the coffin shop.Henry Zhang went in, and with a little light, looked around the coffin shop. The shop was not too big or too small, and it was very clean. The first thing you saw was a partition wall, with a god cage hanging on the wall, and a table under the god cage. There are two chairs next to the table, and the left side of the partition wall is a passage covered by a white cloth curtain, which should lead to the back room.

The things in the room were very simple. There was a pot of tea and a few cups on the table, and the wooden boards for making the coffin were neatly stacked on one side of the room. There was no ready-made coffin in this store.

After closing the door, Huai Bailiu walked aside holding the lamp, and asked in an old voice, "What are you looking at?"

Henry Zhang replied: "I didn't see anything, Senior Huai is a good crafter."

Henry Zhang’s words were not flattering, but the scene in the coffin shop made Henry guess that Huai Bailiu’s craftsmanship was not bad.If you want to ask how to say this, then there is something to say.

The coffin in the coffin shop is about a place for the dead to live in. If it is done well, it is sending people to the next life, and it is doing good deeds.If it is done poorly, I am afraid that disaster will happen.

Ordinary coffinmakers do not have the ability to spell, so they can only keep in mind the common taboos in this industry, and then choose coffins that are mostly unoffensive fir and ordinary pine and cypress trees. These coffins are usually built in advance, and no matter how bad they are, they have to be assembled once or twice.

This is not the case for powerful coffin craftsmen. They never build the coffin in advance, but start work when there is work.The deceased's date of birth, height and weight, as well as the cause of death, when and where he died will be asked one by one, and then the wood will be selected and built on the spot.

Even if these powerful coffinmakers are not practitioners, they can at least be called warlocks. There are opinions on the selection of materials, carving, painting and even the size of the coffin, in order to ensure the safety of the family and the peace of the deceased.

Just to give an example, for example, this pine and cypress is originally a yin tree, and it is born with the effect of gathering yin. After a long period of time, it can even lock the soul of the dead and imprison the soul of the dead in the coffin. Naturally, ordinary coffinmakers dare not use the year Wood that is too tall, or mixed with fir when used, can avoid disasters.

But this is not the case for a coffin maker who is capable. If they encounter the ghost of the dead, they will die in peace and have resentment in their hearts. They will even take the initiative to use the old pine and cypress trees to seal the grieving ghost in the coffin.Don't get me wrong, they are not doing justice for the heavens, but for salvation.

They worked hard on the size and even the pattern of the coffin, and engraved the scriptures on the subtleties, slowly saving the dead souls in the coffin, dispelling their grievances, and allowing them to escape from the world and be reborn.The coffin was also tricked. After being buried in the ground, they also knew that after a few years of decay, the souls of the dead who were imprisoned and rescued after the coffin decayed would naturally be able to pass away.

Therefore, Henry Zhang saw the decoration here, and had the endorsement of the four-eyed Taoist priest, so he praised: good craftsmanship.

Huai Bailiu glanced at Henry Zhang, and was not humble, and said: "You are a young man, but you have good eyesight."

As he spoke, he put the kerosene lamp on the table, and sat on the chair on the right. He said, "Sit down and talk."

Henry Zhang sat on the left, the flame of the kerosene lamp danced, and the light shone across the faces of the two of them. It looked a little weird in this dim coffin shop.

Huai Bailiu seemed to be thinking about something, with a strange expression on his face.After a while he lifted the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Henry Zhang, then put it in front of Henry Zhang, and said, “Please drink tea.”

Henry Zhang didn’t know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he reached for the teacup on the table, touched it slightly, but couldn’t pick it up, and it seemed like a heavy weight when he remained motionless.

Henry Zhang’s face did not change, and he knew it in his heart. It seemed that Huai Bailiu didn’t fully believe in the half of the yellow talisman, and used a small magic technique of forbidden objects to try Henry Zhang’s weight and origin.

The small magic technique of this forbidden object is not difficult. All sects and sects and even warlocks know a thing or two. They cast spells secretly to imprison things like a thousand catties, making people unable to lift them. Most of them are used to test catties and scare people. Refund the other party.

It is obviously used here to test Henry Zhang's strength, to see what kind of spell Henry Zhang used to solve the curse, and whether the origin is from Maoshan, and the second is to see how capable he is.

Henry Zhang kept his composure, and chanted the mantra secretly, the aura broke through the confinement, and the situation was broken in an understatement. He took a sip from the teacup, and said, "Good tea." It was quite calm.

Huai Bailiu saw that Henry Zhang had broken the forbidden technique, and he believed it a little bit, and said in his mouth: "Your junior is a little bit better than that guy with four eyes."

Huai Bailiu has not seen Taoist Priest Four Eyes for more than half a year, and the natural impression is that Taoist Priest Four Eyes is in the Yin God Realm. Seeing that Zhang Xuan is so calm, he naturally thinks that Zhang Xuan has a higher cultivation base.

Although this Huai Bailiu is only at the ninth level of Qi training, his tone is not small.However, Zhang Xuan didn’t underestimate him when he saw him like this. It’s one thing to talk about cultivation, but another thing to say about experience. It's just because of qualifications.

Huai Bailiu boasted, and then asked: "Simu asked you to come, but what's the matter? In this troubled time in Qinglin Town, there are a lot less foreign traders, and fewer people died. The day is over."

Henry Zhang replied: "I don't know if there is a tree heart of the five Yin trees that are more than a hundred years old here?"

When Huai Bailiu heard this name, he said with a little bit of surprise: "The tree of the five yins, the four eyes want to form the formation of the five yins gathering evil?"

The Five Yin Gathering Evil Formation is an evil formation, which gathers evil energy. Generally speaking, no one would set up such a formation for no reason, unless it is for refining corpses or to harm people.

Huai Bailiu's suspicion lies here, Simu is from Maoshan, although he escapes from others, he will never set up a formation to harm others, which is why he let Simu exchange for this formation back then, but now this young man unexpectedly Said to take the tree of the five shades, this...

Seeing that he was suspicious, Henry Zhang explained: "The person who set up the formation was not the uncle, but the junior. The junior found an ancient corpse by chance, and the formation was for refining the corpse."

Henry Zhang spoke thoroughly, a blood-eating locust appeared in the palm of his left hand, crawled to the left, looked at the right, and then moved his body as if saluting Huai Bailiu.

When Huai Bailiu saw this Gu insect, he showed his original expression, and sighed: "Witch Gu, it's no wonder you and Simu are so close, he even gave you the formation of five yin gathering evil spirits."

Simu likes the trick of refining Gu and refining corpses, he knows a thing or two, but because of the teacher's order, he dare not make it his main business, but it doesn't prevent Simu from liking it.

Huai Bailiu's eyes moved slightly, as if he had made some decision, and said, "Of course I have the heart of this hundred-year-old tree of five shades. But I also have something more suitable than this."

"Ok?"

Henry Zhang looked at Huai Bailiu suspiciously, wondering what this meant, and was thinking of asking questions.Suddenly there was a series of rapid knocks on the door, and an anxious voice outside the door shouted:

"Master Huai, something happened."

Chapter 1: Liu Family's Strange Corpse

The eager knock on the door interrupted the conversation between Henry Zhang and Huai Bailiu, and the two looked at each other, Huai Bailiu stood up and said: "It seems that we are going to talk tomorrow, business is here."

Henry Zhang nodded and did not speak, and naturally there is no reason to interfere with other people’s business when looking for someone to do things.Huai Bailiu yelled at the people outside the door: "Here we come." Then he went to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, a dark-faced man in green clothes came in. He looked about 30 to [-] years old, and he looked fairly honest, but his anxious face seemed to be more than just a funeral.

As soon as the man came in, he grabbed Huai Bailiu's arm and hurriedly said: "Master Huai, something happened to our master's house."

Huai Bailiu saw that his expression was wrong, it was definitely not a simple funeral, otherwise he wouldn't panic like this.Shen Sheng asked: "Liu Qi, what happened so flustered?"

The man named Liu Qi said: "I... our second lady is dead... dead."

Huai Bailiu didn't speak, just watched him and treated him carefully.But at this time, Liu Qi glanced behind Huai Bailiu, his face turned pale with fright, and he exclaimed with a trembling voice: "Ghost...ghost!"

Huai Bailiu looked over, and saw Zhang Xuanan sitting there quietly, under the dim light, most of his whole body was hidden in the shadows, this appearance was really scary.

Huai Bailiu grabbed Liu Qi who was about to escape, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, kid, this is not a ghost but my guest."

Huai Bailiu grasped hard, Liu Qi was distracted by the pain, and for a while he couldn't care about his fear, and then he heard the old man Huai Bailiu's words, and then he slowly recovered, and when he took a closer look, he was really a person, long He let out a sigh of relief, looking like the rest of his life after a catastrophe.

It's no wonder that there is such a person sitting under the shrine in the coffin shop at night, who is not afraid?One must know that Huai Bailiu has lived alone all his life, so where is the second person in his house?

Huai Bailiu saw that he had slowed down, and asked again, "What happened to the Liu family?"

Liu Qi came back to his senses, looked at Henry Zhang's direction and said nothing, then he moved to Huai Bailiu's side and whispered, "Second Miss, she..."

I didn’t hear what happened behind Henry Zhang, but after a few minutes, Huai Bailiu’s face gradually darkened, and he nodded and said, “Got it, I’ll go right away.”

Seeing that he agreed, Liu Qi seemed to be relying on him, and he let go of his watch. In fact, what happened to the Liu family this time was a bit scary, otherwise, Huai Bailiu would not have been allowed to rush there late at night.

Huai Bailiu turned to Henry Zhang and asked, "Do you have your Taoist robe with you?"
