A Sword Through the Nine Heavens Chapter 574: Chen 2 Village


   Chenerzhuang’s shop is in the most remote alley in the village. The alley is deserted and deserted. No one has passed by for a long time. Only a few withered leaves are floating, falling on the ground.

   The gravel road on the ground has been polished very smoothly. It has been seen that for some years, the cracks in the stone are still covered with grass, and there is grass growing on one of the roads, indicating that very few people have set foot here.

   There is a sense of silence throughout the alley.

   People who often deal with dead people usually stay away. After all, the villagers think that the dead are bad and don't want to be contaminated. If they have anything to do, they will not go to other people's coffin shops.

   But Chen Erzhuang is the only one in a few small villages nearby to do funeral business. Anyone whose old man has been ascended to heaven at the age of a hundred or someone has died unexpectedly will go to Chen Erzhuang.

   When I find Old Xu Tou, Chen Erzhuang usually rarely talks with people, staying in his store all day, sometimes he won't see him for a few days.

   Kiba stood in front of Chen Erzhuang’s shop, his shop didn’t even have a sign. You don’t need a sign to think about it. Everyone knows what business he does. Besides, there is only one store in this alley, so it is not difficult to find.

   There is a mighty statue of Zhong Kui at the entrance of Chen Erzhuang's shop, which is tied with paper. Old Xu Tou also specially praised the craftsmanship of his paper man. The paper man is vivid and very lifelike.

   This Zhong Kui is very tall, about five meters in height. The tiger's eyes are angrily staring at outsiders, as if it can make all the evil things evade. A mahogany sword in his hand is extremely sharp, and the villain in the world is not merciful.

   The paint on the wooden door has come off, it looks like it has been around for a long time, and it has worn out very badly.

   Kiba walked in. The light in the shop was very dark. It was bright day, but I always felt that the sun couldn’t get in. There was a faint musty smell in the shop, and there was also the smell of incense candle tribute. Would love this place.

Next to    is a wooden shelf with bundles of paper money stacked on it. At the top, there are various incense sticks, some of which are even thicker than a thumb. There are white candles on the other shelf, and stacks of yellow talisman paper. I don’t know what it is for.

   There are four or five coffins behind the shelf. The lids of the coffins are ajar, and the wood smells strong, as if it were just cut off. Many people may not like the smell of wood, but Kiba likes them very much.

   Some of these coffins are made of cedar and some are made of nanmu. There are a few beds next to the coffin, and a few people are lying on it!

   "Don't be dead, right?"

   I don’t know why, obviously I am a distracted cultivator, and if my spiritual power is shaken, no dead person can hurt me, but when Kiba saw this situation, he still felt a little creepy.

   Usually he would not be afraid to see a dead person, but seeing a dead person in such a strange place, he always felt a lump in his heart, thinking that he would walk over, the dead person suddenly sat up, the feeling is definitely unforgettable for life .

   But Kiba soon discovered that it was not a dead person, but a person made of wood, because he felt the smell of camphor wood. These wooden men wore very new and gorgeous blue clothes, and he suddenly understood what clothes it was.

   Shroud.

   I have to say that these wooden people are made quite realistic, tall, fat, short and thin, and similar in shape to people. They even have eyes and eyebrows and hair, and they are even colored, so lifelike, if it weren’t for the eyes that were not colored. , Kiba can even treat it as a real person.

   The wooden man wears a shroud, I am afraid it is for display. It's just that this situation is too weird, and Kiba is sure that he doesn't like it here.

   "Tell me about the details of the deceased."

   At this moment, a low and hoarse voice suddenly appeared behind Kiyu, and Kiyu hit an agitated spirit. He was a distracted cultivator, and he didn't find anyone behind him!

   Kiha turned around, frowning and looking at the person in front of him. When he entered the store just now, he didn't even feel that there was a living person in the store. This guy appeared out of thin air, which surprised him.

  "Your name is Chen Erzhuang, right? Excuse me."

   Kiha looked at Chen Erzhuang, there is vitality flowing in his body. I don’t know if it’s because of dealing with the dead all the year round. The vitality does not seem to be very strong, but it is certain that he is a living person, and Kiba Nor did he feel any spiritual power fluctuations from him.

   "Let's talk about the situation of the deceased in detail, and is there a burial or a celestial burial?" Chen Erzhuang's face was blocked by the shadow, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

  Sky burial is buried in the Mass Burial Valley, which is a name for nearby villages.

   "Do you dare to do a sky burial after that happened?" Kiba asked curiously.

   The case of old man Zhao cheating his corpse scared the simple villagers very much. Hearing from Mr. Xu said that the nearby villages would not dare to carry his dead relatives to the Mass Burial Valley.

   Although they believe that the Mass Burial Valley is a crack leading to the next life, since the corpse fraud incident, everyone is worried that they will be brought in, so they would rather bury their relatives in the ground and let them find their way to the underworld.

   "Only you choose not to do it, not if I dare to do it."

   Chen Erzhuang's voice is very calm, so calm that makes people feel unbelievable, as if the incident of old man Zhao's corpse fraud did not leave a shadow in his heart.

   Kiba looked up and glanced, suddenly his eyes were startled, he actually saw a coffin hanging in the air under the gloomy beams of the store!

   this coffin

Although the material is made of wood, Kiba did not feel the smell of wood from it.

   He could control anything made of wood out of thin air, let them take root or change their shape forcibly. But he couldn't control the coffin on the beam, which made him feel weird.

   The weirdest thing is, why hang the coffin on the beam in the store?

   "That coffin is a bit interesting."

   Kiba pointed to the coffin under the beam, and his spiritual sense went out, all disappeared like a rock sinking into the sea, without any life fluctuations, and without any special breath, it seemed like an empty coffin.

   "You are not here to do business. You don't smell of death, but you smell of death." After Chen Erzhuang finished speaking, he turned around slowly and walked towards the back of the shop.

   "The smell of death? The smell of death?" Mu Yu was taken aback for a moment. He had the death aura of Mingcao, the purest death aura in the world. Can Chen Erzhuang detect this?

   This Chen Erzhuang is probably not a mortal, right?

   "Wait, I have something to ask you." Mu Yu flashed around and stopped in front of Chen Erzhuang.

   Chen Erzhuang saw Mu Yu suddenly appear in front of him, but he was not surprised, and he didn't even move.

   "You are a cultivator." Chen Erzhuang said.

   "Yes, I came to you to investigate the matter of Grandpa Zhao's death and resurrection."

   Kiyu found that he couldn't see through Chen Erzhuang, and that there was no spiritual fluctuation in his body, so he was a mortal. However, mortals would generally call the cultivator immortal masters in awe, and they would also show sincerity and fear, but Chen Erzhuang did not do so.

   "The offspring of Mrs. Zhao are not filial, so I took them all away, that's it." Chen Erzhuang said simply.

   Kiyu suddenly reached out and put his hand on Chen Erzhuang's body, the spiritual power in his body instantly poured in, frowning: "Why is there no curse on you?"

  Chen Erzhuang remained motionless when Kiba stretched out his hand, and didn’t worry about what Kiba would do to him: “I’ve been in contact with the dead all the year round, so naturally I won’t be cursed by the dead.”

   Mu Yu retracted his hand. Chen Erzhuang was undoubtedly a living person, and Mu Yu's spiritual power could not be input into the opponent's body, indicating that the opponent was not a cultivator.

   This is very strange. Chen Erzhuang's calm performance is very abnormal. It is impossible for a mortal to be so calm and calm when facing a cultivator, but Chen Erzhuang has not even breathed.

  "You are not here to do business, so please come back! I only do business with dead people." Chen Erzhuang didn't look at Kiba, but walked around Kiba and continued to the back of the shop.

   Kiyu looked at Chen Erzhuang's back, and took another look at the coffin hung on the beam of the room. This time, he didn't say anything, but chose to leave this gloomy place.

  ——

   "Xiaoshuai, did you find something wrong just now?" Kiba did not leave too far, but stopped under a tree outside the village.

   Xiaoshuai flicked his tail and said: "Well, there are weird everywhere! How can a living person live in such a gloomy place?"

   Kiyu didn’t find anything unusual about Chen Erzhuang. If I had to say it, it was that Chen Erzhuang had not been used with insidious formations like other villagers, and he appeared to face him. That prajna is nothing, this is obviously not in line with common sense.

   "Why didn't you control him directly just now? Just ask him what secrets he hides?" Long Teng's suggestion was very simple and rude.

   "The Soul Tree is very harmful to people, do you have any common sense, big earthworms!" Xiao Shuai said.

  The spirit tree was originally used to invade the nerves of the prey, thereby controlling the prey. If it acts on people at will, it will naturally be harmful, especially for mortals without cultivation. Mu Yu hadn't figured out Chen Erzhuang's situation yet, so he didn't want to attack him.

   Kiha shook his head: "I don't think things are that simple. Although the hanging coffin seems to be nothing, but it is really wrong. Who else hangs the coffin on the beams of the room? And since walking into Chen Er After Zhuang’s shop, I felt as if there were a pair of eyes watching me in the dark ~ IndoMTL.com~ This feeling did not come from Chen Erzhuang, but from a certain corner in the dark. If someone behind him is manipulating Chen In the case of Erzhuang, just in case, I still can’t get rid of it."

   If there is no such feeling of being watched, Mu Yu can't find the source of that feeling with the cultivation base of the distraction period, then it is very likely that the mysterious guy behind his cultivation base is not weaker than Mu Yu.

   "Do you think there is a dead person lying in that coffin?" Xiaoshuai asked curiously.

   "Why don't you go and have a look alone at night?" Long Teng said.

   Xiaoshuai waved his hand: "No, I don't like gloomy places. Why can't we basking in the sun and eating barbecue, have to deal with the dead?"

   Kiha doesn’t like the Chen Erzhuang shop, but what makes him more concerned is that he feels that there are a lot of wood in the backyard of Chen Erzhuang. These woods are freshly cut, but they are not used to make coffins. The material is the same as the wooden people wearing shrouds in the store, they are all camphor wood.

   I have never heard of using camphor wood to make coffins, but there are wooden people in Chen Erzhuang’s shop. If all these camphor woods are used to make wooden people, why does Chen Erzhuang make so many wooden people?

   There are paper men in the workshop as the servants of the underworld to bury them, but I have never heard of carved wooden men.

Buried.

   "Chen Erzhuang must have a problem! Let's see if we can find the mysterious guy that Old Xu said from him." Mu Yu was lost in thought.
