Chapter 888 Funeral
After Su Yuan told these people the purpose and method of using rice, it was not difficult for the remaining three people to survive the ghost feast on the fifth day.
After all, three bowls of rice for three people were enough to last until the next day, not to mention that he had taken the initiative to clean up a wave of ghosts in the ancient house, artificially reducing the number of ghosts.
As for Su Yuan and Yang Jian, after hiding in the ghost realm, they completely ignored the remaining three people.
At this moment, Su Yuan has not blocked Yang Jian's senses, so Yang Jian can still clearly see everything happening in the outside world. By dyeing rice with blood and feeding the ghost, he can temporarily stabilize the ghost. His behavior made the evil spirits stop attacking him.
This method is very simple.
But if Su Yuan didn't say anything, even if he held rice in his hand, someone would still die.
"Since you want to save them, why bother?"
Su Yuan said calmly: "I didn't want to save them. Among those people, Zhou Deng is actually the only one who is pretty good. Although there are flaws in his character, they are mostly due to the influence of the supernatural. It is a pity for a person like him to die here. If he were left outside, he would at least be able to Maintain the tranquility of a city."
"As for the messenger Eagle, he is not bad in nature, but he has no ability. He has been on the fourth floor and has not yet mastered the supernatural power. He can still use it after training. Yes, as for Fan Xing, he is just selling the headquarters to save face, but he still has some sense of sight. Whether he lives or dies, you don’t need to care too much.”
If Fan Xing in the outside world knew what Su Yuan said about him, he would probably be ashamed. However, the ghost realm is isolated from everything, so he naturally knows nothing about what happened in it.
After listening to Su Yuan's explanation, Yang Jian shook his head and didn't say much. After all, it was just like what Su Yuan said. Although everyone discovered the rice together, the other party really paid for it. The supernatural props, and also the other party's supernatural props, made the process of taking away the rice smooth and without the slightest danger, so how to deal with it was Su Yuan's business.
He couldn't say much. If he didn't have these rice, he would be in trouble when facing those evil spirits in this situation.
You shouldn't die if you die, but the message delivery mission will most likely fail.
"Maintaining the ghost realm all the time must be a heavy burden, right? Are you sure you can handle it? Do you want me to do it instead?"
After all, the ghost realm is a supernatural ability that has always been maintained. Even aliens will not be able to withstand it. Although aliens are mostly the ghosts they control have already died, it does not mean that they are invincible.
Because even if it is a ghost, there is still the possibility of recovering from death.
Just like Yang Jian's father back then, Guimeng was hit by a bus and fell into a state of panic, but now he has recovered.
"That's not enough. If I really can't hold on, I will naturally inform you."
"That's up to you,"
Since Su Yuan rejected his proposal, Yang Jian didn't take it seriously and continued to watch the outside world.
The three people outside saw that there was no safety risk, and they immediately felt relieved.
“Speaking of which, are these three bowls of rice enough for us to last until dawn?”
Zhou Deng stretched out a hand, holding the blue and white porcelain-like white rice. The rice was stained with blood, and at the same time, a fierce ghost occasionally took away a grain, and then returned to its previous state of being separated by the ghost realm, turning into a hazy shadow.
Such a scene has been repeated many times, and the three of them are not surprised. After watching it for a long time, there is no safety risk, and naturally they will feel a little bored.
"It shouldn't be a big problem. After all, there is enough rice. Judging from the current number of ghosts, it is completely enough for us to last until dawn."
The eagle also talked and said: "It's unbelievable. We I actually made it through it, the burial on the first day, the vigil on the second day, and the funeral on the third day. The condolences on the fourth day and the ghost feast on the fifth day will probably be completed in two more days.”
“That’s right, cheer up.”
Fan Xing said casually. He didn't see much despair on his face, but more helplessness.
Maybe he feels helpless because he will become someone else's thug in the future. As a ghost controller and the person in charge, he has experienced quite a lot of dangers, but in the final analysis, it is just for To solve the problem of the resurgence of evil ghosts.
But now the problem of Li Gui's resurrection has not been solved, and he has become the younger brother first, but the reality is really speechless.
But fortunately, Su Yuan has a big enough reputation, so it is not too shameful to take refuge in his subordinates.
Thinking about this, Fan Xing felt faintly comforted in his heart.
“Then let’s analyze the events on the sixth day first. According to the rules, the first day is the burial, the second day vigil, the third day funeral, the fourth day condolences, and the fifth day ghosts. Banquet, what is the sixth day? Is it time to be cremated?"
At this time, Zhou Deng suddenly said: "Where are we going to find a torch to burn the old man? Having said that, the dead old man is not an ordinary person. He should not be burned with an ordinary torch. Is he going to use will-o'-the-wisp?"
Eagle shook his head: "It's too early to say this now, and the process of cremation is not something that existed in ancient times. The ancients didn't like that, so it's probably not cremation. But I personally think that the sixth day should be Reasoning together with the seventh day."
Fan Xing said: "What do you have? What’s the idea?”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t think of it at the moment, I just vaguely felt that this was a direction of thinking.”
Yingying said, after all, he is not a person with brain power. A skilled person can think of so many things, but he doesn’t know how many brain cells he has lost.
“Hey, why do you think so much? Just ask the boss directly.”
With that said, Zhou Deng shouted: "Two big guys, what will be the process tomorrow?"
No one could be seen in the empty back hall, but there was a strange sound.
“No need to guess, the sixth day is the funeral and the seventh day is the day of soul rebirth, so the two hours cannot be on the same day. Tomorrow we have to carry this red coffin and leave the ancient house. Send this old man to be buried behind, where the tombstones are."
"Really? Boss, I don't have much education, don't lie. Me! If the inference is wrong, someone will die. The old ghost is really going to wake up, and he is not easy to mess with."
What Zhou Deng said is true, after all, the condolence situation on the fourth day is also true. It was obvious to all that the old man's gradually resurrected body was able to suppress a large number of evil spirits and was unable to move just by virtue of his supernatural power. It was quite terrifying.
If an accident does occur, Su Yuan and Yang Jian may not be in trouble, but they can't say for sure.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be a funeral tomorrow, because the seventh day is the day of resurrection. This is how the saying of the first seven resurrections comes about. If the order is messed up, everything will be invalid. After the letter delivery task reminder The king will stay in this ancient house for seven days, and the seven days will start from the first day of the burial. I have always followed the steps of the funeral.”
“This is the rule. The first few days are the most difficult. Now that many things are over, there will be no mistakes in the remaining two days.”
Su Yuan's words made the three of them fall into deep thought, including Yang Jian.
It really makes sense if you think about it seriously.
The steps have been basically completed, and the remaining funeral and the first seven days of rebirth just fill the seven-day gap, which also coincides with the special time of the first seven days.
"So, tomorrow we are going to carry this coffin out of the old house and go to the old forest behind for burial?" Zhou Deng said, touching his chin.
"I think this judgment should be correct, and it is finalized for now." Eagle said: "If there are any other ideas that can be put forward during the next period of time, we can discuss it again. "
"Forget it, I have no objection."
"I have no objection either."
Fan Xing also said quickly, and then he looked at the red coffin on the side, and shivered inexplicably, as if the next moment, the corpse of the old man in the coffin would revive and pop out.
After the discussion, the back hall fell into silence again. As time passed by, the ghosts in the ancient house also disappeared, leaving behind strange silhouettes.
Three bowls of rice combined are a lot.
It is enough for a ghost to take away only one grain of rice, so these three bowls can be used for a long time.
But.
After the previous ghosts disappeared, new ghosts poured in from the direction of the gate of the ancient house.
But it’s not as dense as before.
Everyone was fighting, and no one died. It seemed that this was the only good news heard these days.
Time passes little by little.
Half an hour, an hour, two hours and it was the afternoon of the fifth day in a blink of an eye.
There are fewer and fewer ghosts flocking to the ancient house.
Of course, there is less and less rice in everyone’s hands.
In the dark and cold old house, vague and strange outlines are densely crowded around, as if they want to engulf everyone here.
But these vague outlines of ghosts cannot interfere with the living people in the ancient house.
It’s like being in another world, unable to touch or touch each other.
In this way, this delicate state has been maintained. At twelve o'clock, the ancient house entered the sixth day. This day is called the funeral.
At the moment when the sixth day arrived, not only did nothing abnormal happen in the ancient house, but the evil ghosts were dissipating and gradually leaving.
Even the blood-stained rice seems to have lost its appeal to those evil ghosts at this moment. Unless they are very close, the ghosts in the ancient house are basically wandering around. Left slowly.
The crisis is slowly being eliminated.
Su Yuan saw the vague ghost figure on the wall also leaving. The ghost was walking along the wall, all the way towards the outside of the ancient house, and finally disappeared at the patio, seemingly directly along the patio. The gap left here.
The blurry ghost figures are also dissipating, and these figures can be vaguely seen shaking, gradually scattering away.
Even supernatural interference is becoming less and less.
Although the ghost realm is isolated from everything, it is not completely absolute. At least some ghosts can still invade along the ghost realm, but all the evil ghosts that invade are controlled by Su Yuan himself. It was solved, so everything was fine all the time.
But now, not only are there no evil ghosts invading, there are also no supernatural beings trying to invade the ghost realm.
Without any hesitation, the two of them left the ghost realm directly and returned to the back hall.
Yang Jian's ghostly eyes peered at the surrounding movements, and then he came to a conclusion.
Su Yuan said calmly: "It's normal for the ghost banquet to end and the ghosts to disperse. There will be a temporary rest time. You can have a good rest. Strictly speaking, midnight is safe for mouth, and it is also Dangerous, safe because the dangers of the previous day will Disappear, the danger is that a new day will usher in new horrors."
It sounded very reasonable, and the eagle immediately re-entered the room and took out all the backpacks of the previous people. Everyone is dead, but now it’s the survivors who are getting the advantage.
There are sufficient supplies inside, including flashlights, clothes, food and water, as well as some emergency medical supplies. It is enough to stay for another week, let alone two days.
It’s just that no one wants to stay that long.
"Come on, come on, eat more, eat and drink well, ready to go on the road, eh, there is wine? That's really good."
"Bah, bah, crow's mouth!"
".
A dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth. It probably refers to people like Zhou Deng. But after spending so many days together, everyone has already become accustomed to his character. I'm used to it Normally, they just stared at each other for a few times.
Su Yuan and Yang Jian also ate a little, and then they leaned against the wall next to each other and remained motionless. Su Yuan's eyes were closed, and it looked like He seemed to be asleep, and Yang Jian also had his eyes closed, but a ghost eye on his forehead was moving restlessly, peeping at all abnormalities and movements around him
It has to be said that people with many eyes are different. Even when they are asleep, ghost eyes can serve as a warning.
It is quiet today however.
There wasn't even a sound of wind outside, let alone any weird knocking on the door.
The interior of the ancient house is no longer so cold.
Some weird auras have dissipated inexplicably, and even the ancient house is now a little brighter, no longer so gloomy, and even the darkness in the corridor no longer exists.
There was no movement in the rooms on the left and right, and the end of the corridor could be seen. Before, these two corridors were endless, and the same was true for those rooms.
Just like that, time seemed to pass by little by little, and everyone present seemed to have fallen asleep. I don’t know how long it took, but suddenly, a subtle creaking sound sounded, waking everyone up.
I don’t know when the back door opened, as if it was blown open by the wind, or it was opened artificially. When Su Yuan saw this, he said calmly: "Let's go, it's time for the funeral." . ”
Change it first and see it again tomorrow morning.
