Grace

Standing between the yin and yang realms, while completing his mission, he is also communicating with the ghosts of the underworld.

Why the hair became like this, we have to start from the third day after Kang Youzhi's death.

That day Zuo Qi went to the kitchen to steal food as usual, even if it was food for worshiping the dead, he still took it.In other people's words, the dead are already dead, they don't know anything, they don't know how to eat, and they rot in front of the coffin, so what if the dead are fumigated to life.

He picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, took two meat buns, and a plate of kimchi and walked towards the house.As soon as he opened the door, he saw the man sitting on the edge of the bed with his eyes open, looking at him, he pushed it out in a jerk, and went in after he calmed down. The man was gone, and there was no one on the bed.

Instead, there was movement from behind the tassel curtain. He lifted the curtain and saw that the man was rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find things inside.

"Why are you awake?" Zuo Qi's surprise passed, and after he calmed down, he made a familiar familiarity.

Master Qu: "I'm suffering from frostbite, not a permanent vegetative state. As for why I'm waking up now... that's because I'm going to see off my relatives."

"Send off your relatives? But the groom who got married is no longer here."

"What I want to send off is the bridegroom. What I mean by sending off relatives is not a red thing, but a white thing."

"Isn't your second brother the one who died? Why can't you feel any sadness in you? Aren't you sad?"

"Death is like a lamp going out. There is no need to be sad. Besides, I am very busy now. If you want to teach me by example, let's talk about it another day."

"Oh, ruthless man."

Master Qu pointed to the ground, "Your steamed stuffed bun is already covered with dust."

"Are you going to compensate me?"

"I just want to tell you that I don't like the smell of buns, please throw them out as soon as possible so that they don't continue to pollute the air in the house."

Master Qu pinched his nose and continued to search in the cabinet.Because he was so absorbed in the search, he didn't notice that he was already sweating profusely at the moment. He had just woken up, and his body was still very weak, and a small amount of exercise was beyond the body's load.

Zuo Qi couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to help.

"What are you looking for? I'll help you find it together."

"Host soil clothes."

"What does it look like?"

"It's clothes embroidered with the sky and a mountain."

"Why do you embroider the sky and mountains on your clothes?"

"That's another space for the dead." Master Qu took the trouble to answer his doubts. "This is the duty and meaning of my life in this world. Qu Shiluo wants to guide the dead on the road to hell."

The search is endless like this, and the clothes are mixed in a pile of colorful clothes, so I can't tell who is who.Zuo Qi grabbed a piece of clothing, looked left and right, and after confirming that it was not the back soil clothing that Master Qu was talking about, he threw it back and left it on the ground.

Master Qu: "This is it!" Seeing that Zuo Qi was about to throw it away again, he quickly grabbed it.

"This is what you said about the post-native clothes. It's not very good."

"You are ignorant." He glanced at it. "Besides, you are an ordinary person, how could you see how unusual it is."

Zuo Qi spat, "Why is there a mountain embroidered on the dark clothes?"

"This is not a mountain, this is the underworld. According to legend, the Mingshan is hell."

On the first seven days of Kang Youzhi, Master Qu sneaked into the mourning hall with Zuo Qi.

Zuo Qi: "Hey, isn't this your home? If you want to see your second brother, come here directly. Why are you sneaking around like a thief."

Master Qu rolled his eyes at him, "It sounds like you really didn't consider yourself a thief." He looked at the coffin with calm eyes, and there was a flash of strange emotion in his calm, and he soon returned to normal. "I can't let them know I'm awake right now, so please be quiet."

"Aren't you reconciling with your family?" Zuo Qi lowered his voice in cooperation with him.

Master Qu shook his head first, then nodded.

"What do you mean by shaking your head?" He was almost confused.

"Yes and no, but there is no conflict."

"It's weird, what can't you get along with your own family? But seeing that you have been abandoned by them in the yard for many years, you must not be an important family member to them."

"I do not know either."

"Hey, I'm just joking, don't be so depressed."

While observing the coffin, he said: "I was selected as a priest since I was a child. The last priest was my master. Before he died, he calculated from the hexagrams that the Kang family was doomed. In order to protect the health of the Kang family, I released my whole body." Yunbu formed an invisible talisman to protect the Kang family, and fell into a deep sleep since then."

"So this time you woke up forcibly for Kang Youzhi?"

"I don't have much time to be awake, and I'm going to sleep again soon."

"Are you going to sleep forever?" I've never seen a person sacrifice himself continuously, this man is the first one in front of him, it really aroused Zuo Qi's interest in him.

Master Qu lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, "I won't fall asleep all the time. I was born as a short-lived ghost, and I won't live long."

Thinking of the doctors and doctors who came to the yard before, they all said that he had a terminal illness, which turned out to be true.Obviously, he looks very healthy, and he doesn't look sick at all, so what kind of terminal illness would such a lively person suffer from?At this age, knowing that my time is numbered and still being so calm, I really don't know if I see through life or death or just pretend.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Gross syndrome."

"never heard of that."

"At the beginning, I couldn't move normally, couldn't control my body, and couldn't walk properly. Later, when it got serious, I couldn't move, eat, and finally couldn't breathe in bed. I was bit by bit by the illness. The last life."

Zuo Qi listened quietly, without speaking.

It was rare for him to be quiet and not interrupt others.He seemed to be in a trance, staring at Master Qu, the depths of his pupils were as dark as a mirror, and there was no trace of waves, and there was no unnecessary expression after listening.

Maybe he didn't understand.

Maybe he understood, but he had no idea at all.

"What are you thinking? Are you sympathizing with me?" Master Qu asked.

"No."

"Ah, it looks like I'm being too sentimental." Master Qu curled his lips. "I'm still wondering if you really sympathize with me, how should I reply, but luckily you didn't."

Zuo Qi's eyes flickered slightly, "I have no sympathy, it's impossible for you to hope to get sympathy from me."

Master Qu smiled, then turned his gaze back to the coffin.He groped around the belly of the coffin, as if he was groping for something.

Zuo Qi: "Is there anything wrong with the coffin?"

Master Qu looked at him suspiciously, "How do you know?"

"You have written all your thoughts on your face, only the blind can't see it."

"The belly of the coffin is a small universe, but the left and right sides of the second brother's coffin are not consistent. The right side is half a centimeter inward than the left, which destroys the luck of the universe." He then pointed to an imperceptible small hole on the left. "The coffin must be sealed after death. The coffin is a hotbed for the dead and has the meaning of requiem, but once it is no longer sealed, it is not a coffin. It is very easy to cause accidents after being buried in the ground."

"What happened?"

"For example, cheating corpses..."

"I don't know much, so don't fool me."

"If you were dead and knew that there was a big hole in the wall of your last "home", wouldn't you cheat on the corpse?"

This sounded like a joke, but Master Qu said it with such a serious expression, it didn't seem like a joke anymore, Zuo Qi was in doubt, he couldn't judge whether it was true or not by his expression.Holding back, he had no choice but to ask dryly, "Will your second brother really cheat corpses after being buried?"

"It's fake. It's not a fake corpse, but a lifetime of blessings and misfortunes being taken advantage of by someone with a heart."

"How do you say that?"

"All the answers lie in this coffin that cannot speak." Master Qu ground all the remaining incense into powder and sprinkled it on the coffin. "The fullness of the left and the loss of the right converge into a two-party battle. It is very easy for the luck to escape from the corpse and be trapped in the coffin. When the right side's luck is weak, it must focus on the left, and the luck will overflow along the small hole. The luck and People's lives are closely related, and fortune and misfortune depend on it to maintain."

"It's said that people are dead. Since people are gone, why do we need luck?"

"Before reincarnation, you need the help of luck, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the six reincarnations smoothly. If a person has no record of good fortune and misfortune in the previous life, then this person is not eligible for reincarnation. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise all luck will dissipate after the first seven days. "

Master Qu picked up a pinch of incense ash from the ground, pulled off a strand of hair, and wrapped it in a talisman.He wrapped the talisman in the palm of his hand, closed his eyes, and muttered something, only some yellow powder remained in the palm of his hand after a while.He blew on the small hole, and all the powder went in, and then he wiped it with two fingers, and the small hole on the coffin was automatically closed.

Zuo Qi rubbed his chin, speechless, "Who would want to take away Kang Youzhi's luck?"

"This technique of transferring luck needs to be maintained for seven days. As long as you know who stays here every day, you can know who it is."

"Thinking about it this way, I might know who it is." He snapped his fingers.

"Who?"

"Your little nephew, Kang Yuanci."

Master Qu didn't give him a good look, and even wanted to kick him. "Let's not say that Kang Yuanci doesn't know these spells, even if he knows it, it's absolutely impossible for him to use such a sinister method against his second uncle."

"But in the past few days, I only saw him running here alone, and every time he came here, he would sit for an hour or two, talking to his second uncle."

Qu Shi was surprised, "How do you know it so clearly? You even know that Yuan Ci is talking about something on your mind."

"I ran into him when I came here to steal things. I didn't want him to see him, so I hid under the table and wanted to wait for him to leave before I came out. I didn't know that this kid was always waiting, and my feet were numb. , he's full of bitterness and hasn't finished complaining
