Chapter 868 The process of folk customs (please subscribe, please collect, please monthly votes, please recommend votes)
The old man’s body is very heavy.
Even if it uses the supernatural power of a ghost that was once swallowed by Junxiong, it is still heavy.
This is still enough to prove the strength of this old man who has survived until now during the Republic of China. This supernatural characteristic can carry the devil on his back. While carrying the devil on his back, the devil falls into a state of silence. They will not attack the person carrying the ghost, but similarly, the more terrifying the ghost is, the more difficult it will be to carry it. It will exceed the supernatural level of the ghost itself, and there may even be situations where it cannot be carried.
Of course, humans cannot resist the supernatural power of carrying corpses. Even if they are carried on their backs, they will only turn into corpses.
However, it is perfect for use in this situation.
Su Yuan carried the old man to the back hall. The ghost masters just stood there and watched. Although they were puzzled by his behavior, they did not dare to interrupt or even stop him.
Normally speaking, in the face of supernatural events, as long as the situation does not worsen, you should not take unnecessary actions. Su Yuan’s behavior is difficult for these people to understand. They can’t understand why he Will actively choose to come into contact with this old man's body.
The old man's body is very cold and seems to be rotting. When he is carrying it, he can clearly feel the coldness that penetrates into the bone marrow. If it were someone else, even a ghost controller, just I am afraid that even this kind of coldness may not be able to bear it.
And the faint smell of corpses was really disgusting, but fortunately, the situation improved after entering the back hall.
The few sticks of burning incense showed no signs of shortening after several hours. They exuded a faint fragrance and even covered part of the corpse odor, making the stench less strong.
Su Yuan walked over carrying the body, and Chu Renmei quietly emerged, and under his control, pushed the red coffin away.
The coffin was empty, with nothing in it. It seemed that it was just waiting for a corpse to move in. Without hesitation, Su Yuan quickly placed the old man’s corpse in. When the corpse was placed in the coffin, the one lying flat on it A moment later, Yang Jian came over.
"Did you discover something?"
This kind of behavior cannot be hidden from Yang Jian. With his intelligence, Su Yuan can probably guess something even if he doesn't tell. The question came, but Su Yuan had no intention of hiding it and said directly: "Did you notice something strange about the two lanterns at the gate just now?"
Yang Jian frowned. Of course he saw the abnormality of the lantern. It changed from red to white, and there were black words on it, just like preparations for a funeral.
Suddenly, when he thought of the funeral and the mission of the ghost post office, he had to stay here for seven days, an idea flashed in Yang Jian's mind, and he connected all these things.
“Isn’t it possible?”
Looking at Yang Jian’s drastic change in expression, Su Yuan nodded gently: “Yes, it’s what you thought, this letter delivery mission, The main purpose is to let us help this old man to be buried.”
Since ancient times, people have regarded the dead as the greatest, which has led to many traditional customs. No one knows what the real purpose of these customs is. Too many truths have been hidden in the fog of history. However, when it comes In modern society, traditional customs have basically been abandoned. Many funerals are held in different ways. Each place has its own traditions and customs.
But basically it is no longer like it used to be. It basically ends in three days, with people dying on the first day, mourning on the second day, and burials in graves on the third day.
But here it is seven days.
In other words, if the ancient house here really wants people like them who have the status of messengers to help hold funerals, they must follow the ancient etiquette. The kind that lasts until the first seven resurrection days. If something goes wrong during this period, the ancient house will lose control.
It is basically self-evident what it means once it is out of control.
If we follow the traditional method, the entire funeral process can basically be divided into encoffining, announcing the funeral, attending the funeral, hanging up the body, keeping a wake, carrying out the funeral procession, and the funeral and burial. The seventh day is the burial, which can also be said to be the first seven souls. Today's seventh day is the burial. It was the day of the coffin, so Su Yuan put the body in the coffin because the old man had already changed his clothes and did not need their help to change the shroud.
But the next day is the problem. The next day should be the day to report the funeral, but the question is, who should I go to to report it?
According to Su Yuan, this old man lived from the Republic of China to the present and died until the end of his life. However, how many people in the Republic of China could live like this old man to this time? They must have all died a long time ago.
And in the ancient house The old man's body is extremely mysterious, and it is not known if there are any descendants. Even if there are, it is not easy to find the old man's descendants. Judging from the country's population, it is impossible to find the old man's descendants in a short time even with the help of the headquarters. It was found in a short period of seven days, not to mention that it was still a chaotic era.
So it is simply impossible to spread the news of the old man's death and have people come to pay condolences.
Especially since this house is located in a supernatural place, it is impossible for ordinary people to reach here.
Unless the old man has thought everything out from the beginning and prepared everything, it can be inferred that the target that the old man wants to notify has already ruled out the possibility of human beings.
And what is in the supernatural land?
Of course it’s a ghost!
Then you are looking for a ghost to report your funeral?
This thought flashed through Yang Jian's mind, and he suddenly felt unbelievable.
What a joke! What's the difference between looking for a ghost to report a funeral and looking for death?
There are not many things in the supernatural place, but there are many ghosts. Just look at the ghosts on the bus.
Looking at Yang Jian's extremely ugly face, Su Yuan acted very calmly. After all, he already knew everything he needed to know. This is the benefit of knowing the plot in advance, and it is also the benefit of the time traveler. If Everything is proceeding normally according to the order. If there are no accidents, there will be no problems from the first to the seventh day. The real danger will only appear during the first seven Soul Nights.
When that day comes, what we have to face is one of the seven members of the Republic of China after Li Gui’s resurrection!
I hope that when Zhang Dong dies, he will be self-aware and dismember his own supernatural body in advance, otherwise, it will be extremely troublesome to deal with it.
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Su Yuan said: "Okay, the first day of encoffining has been completed. I think nothing abnormal will happen next. Don't think too much, just take a step and see. One step, as long as the steps are correct, the balance will not be broken so easily." (End of Chapter)
