It was almost noon the next day when Sister Shaoyao came back. This girl was humming songs as she walked, with a proud look on her face. Just by the cheerful look on her face, I could tell that I must have had a great time with her old friend last night.
“It’s true that people feel so refreshed when happy events happen!” I smiled and said, “The woman I nourished this night is just different. She always walks with wind.”
“Of course.” Sister Shaoyao He rolled his eyes at me and said with a smile: "I once gave you a chance, but I don't want it, so I deserve it!"
"Since you two are already in love, why don't you bring your old sweetheart back?" Let me recognize a familiar face!" I said.
"Why? Am I familiar with you?" Sister Shaoyao ignored me and went back to her Sanji pawn humming a tune.
"Are you feeling sour and uncomfortable?" That guy Yi Ba said, patting me on the shoulder with a scornful tone.
"Who said I'm not cool? I'm just curious to see if that man is as handsome as me? If he's handsomer than me, I'll admit it; if he's uglier than me, Sister Shaoyao, A flower, but even if it is stuck on cow dung," I said.
That night, Wei Chenxin, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly came to Yiba Pavilion.
"Is something wrong?" Seeing the anxious look on Wei Chenxin's face, I took the initiative to ask him.
"Map Pozi is dying, can you and Daoist Yi go to Qinglong Bay?" Wei Chenxin said.
"Did she ask you to come?" I asked.
“Yes!” Wei Chenxin nodded and said, “It was my fault before, but now I understand.”
“What is the relationship between you and Mapozi? "I am very curious about this.
"I am an orphan. She originally wanted to accept me as her disciple, but I failed to live up to expectations and ran away to robbing tombs, which made her angry." Wei Chenxin said lightly.
"Pozi Mapo is the keeper of the consort's tomb. Are you worthy of her by robbing the consort's tomb?" I asked.
"Aren't I obsessed with money? Besides, every time I make up my mind to take action, but as soon as I get to the Prince Consort's Tomb, I feel guilty all over, and I don't dare to take action."
< br>I believe what Wei Chenxin said. Last time I went with him to rob the consort's tomb, and we only dug out some blood and soil, and he stopped. For a tomb robber, let alone blood and soil, even if he digs out zombies, he has to take something before he is willing to leave.
“Let’s go! Let’s go and have a look with you.”
We drove the broken bread and went to Qinglong Bay with Wei Chenxin.
From a distance, I saw two white lanterns hanging at the gate of Mapozi's house, with the word "Dian" written on them.
"Has Madam Mapo left already?" I asked.
“There is still one breath left.” Wei Chenxin said.
"Why hang up white lanterns when no one has left?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face.
"She asked me to do this. She said that before she died, she would see me decorate the mourning hall according to her instructions, without any deviation." Wei Chenxin said.
"What is Mapo doing?" I asked Yi Ba. He should know the path here better than me.
"Let's go take a look first! Let's see what Mapozi says." Yi Badao said.
Ma Pozi’s house has been decorated as a mourning hall. Wei Chenxin said that she was still breathing, so logically she should be lying on the bed! But Mapozi didn't, she was lying in the coffin.
“Here we come!”
As soon as we entered the door, Mapozi sat up from the uncovered coffin and greeted us.
Although I know that Mapozi is not dead, her action of sitting up is really scary. I was so scared that my legs went weak. If Yi Ba hadn't supported me in time, I probably would have sat down on the ground.
"What's causing the trouble, old man?" When I came back to my senses, I asked Mapozi with a confused look on my face.
"If it weren't for this unimproved thing, I wouldn't have to be like this." Mapozi pointed at Wei Chenxin, sighed, and said, "But fortunately, at the last moment, this kid Finally my conscience found out. I thought that if I left, the Prince Consort's Tomb would not be saved. But now, Wei Chenxin has changed his mind, and with the two of you, there may be some hope."
"Call us here, what do you mean? Do you want an order?" Yi Ba asked.
"I need your help with my funeral." When Mapozi said this, her eyes were looking at Yi Ba. She obviously wanted Yi Ba's help! As for me, I am just a handyman at best.
Although you can tell at a glance that this is a mourning hall, I finally felt that it was a little weird and different from ordinary mourning halls.
Yi Ba glanced at the layout of the room and asked Mapozi: "Are you really planning to do this?"
"It's destiny." When Mapozi said these four words, he was very Calmly.
"Uncle Duan invited someone here, his name is Gan Qiming." Yi Ba said.
"Gan Qiming?" Mapozi frowned and said, "It is indeed him."
After saying these four words, Mapozi fell headlong into the In the coffin, I couldn't wake up no matter how much I shouted.
"What's going on?" I asked Yi Ba confused.
“The time has come and she is gone.” Yi Ba said.
"Died so suddenly?" I didn't quite believe what was happening in front of me.
Yi Ba pointed to the stick of incense stuck in the incense burner and said: "When the incense is gone, people will go. This is what Mapao arranged for herself. Since she made such a choice, we also I can only respect her wishes.”
“What should I do about the funeral that Mrs. Map said?” I asked Yi Ba.
"She must have chosen the cemetery before she died, right?" Yi Ba asked Wei Chenxin.
"It's right at the Prince Consort's Tomb." Wei Chenxin said.
"Yes!" Yi Ba nodded and said, "Just do as she said! Tomorrow at 3:00, the burial will be on time. Go and call some helpers!"
Wei Chenxin ran to call someone, but I looked at Yi Ba with a puzzled look on my face and asked, "Why are we buried in such a hurry?"
"She arranged it herself." Yi Ba said.
"Then do we need to change her into a shroud?" Mapozi was wearing a bright red jacket, and her pants and shoes were also bright red. This color always looks weird when worn on a dead person.
“No need, this outfit was her own decision.” Yi Badao said.
"What is the purpose of Mapozi doing this?" I asked.
"Save the Prince Consort's Tomb."
Yi Ba simply said this to me without explaining it in detail. I knew he might be inconvenienced, so I didn't ask any questions.
Wei Chenxin quickly called for people, because Mapozi had already arranged everything in front of him, and Yi Ba started performing rituals there. In the process of doing the ritual, Yi Ba burned the talisman left by Mapozi into ashes, and then smeared the ashes on her seven orifices to seal her seven orifices.
Sealing the seven orifices, although I don’t know anything else about this thing, I still know something about it. Master once told me that after a person dies, the corpse energy formed by the corpse will come out from the seven orifices. If the seven orifices are sealed and the corpse energy cannot escape, it will be easy to form a zombie.
I seem to understand that Mapozi does this to turn herself into a zombie. Zombies are much more powerful than ghosts. Uncle Duan and the others came to steal the Prince Consort's Tomb. Even if they passed the Yin Soldier level, they couldn't pass the Mapozi level!
Once a person becomes a zombie, it is naturally impossible for him to enter the underworld and be reincarnated. There are only two endings, one is to be destroyed, and the other is to float in the world forever without humans or ghosts.
If nothing else, in order to guard the Prince Consort's Tomb, Mapozi really sacrificed his life to do his duty. Just for her professionalism, I must sincerely admire her from the bottom of my heart.
Mapo has arranged everything. All Yi Ba and I need to do is follow her arrangements.
Nothing unexpected happened. At three quarters of the Yin hour, Mapozi was buried on time.
According to Mapozi's arrangement, her tomb only needs to be filled with soil, and no grave mounds can be left. After the burial, no incense, candles, money or paper can be burned.
"Does she have anything else to explain?" After everything was done, Yi Ba asked Wei Chenxin. "Thank you both for your help!" Wei Chenxin saluted us and said, "I can do the rest by myself. You two have been busy all night and are tired. Please go back and rest early!"
