Chapter 263 Shroud
Su Nuobai did not refuse and opened the ghost gate to pray for Uncle Mao's reincarnation.
The three of them each took out some silver and handed it to her: "Master Su, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid no one would have noticed that my father was gone."
Feng Zhi took the money and retreated behind Su Nuobai.
"It was just a chance encounter. Live a good life from now on." Su Nuobai left after saying that.
She didn't go to say hello to Lu Heyu, but just sent him a message and returned to Shengjing City.
"Uncle Jia, is Master Su coming today?" a man asked Uncle Jia anxiously.
"Master Su said she would come, but she didn't say when. If you're not in a hurry, you can come see her tomorrow. There's no need to rush now."
"I'm just anxious, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here waiting."
As soon as Su Nuobai arrived, he noticed the face of the man sitting on the small stool: a single bony peak, four tails drooping. With facial bones and flesh disproportionate to each other, it was inevitable that his marriage would not last long.
He is a widower with a curse.
"Why are you so anxious? What happened?"
As soon as Du Shuang saw her coming, he quickly said, "Master Su, I often hear the sound of cloth tearing at home at night."
"Also, there are needle marks on my body." He said as he lifted up the back of his clothes to show her.
Everyone saw that there was a row of stitches on his back, which looked very strange.
Su Nuobai looked at him for a long time: "You didn't tell the whole story."
Du Shuang's face turned pale and he stammered, not knowing what to say.
"During the New Year, when you were offering sacrifices to your ancestors, you saw a beautiful and ornate burial garment when you entered the ancestral hall, and you became tempted to steal it."
"When no one was around at night, you sneaked into the ancestral hall and stole the burial clothes. You took them to the burial clothes shop and sold them for a lot of silver."
"Am I right?"
Du Shuang's face was ugly, and he could only nod his head: "Yes, I was just greedy for a moment."
"Do you know why this burial clothes is enshrined in the ancestral hall?" Su Nuobai looked at him and asked.
"I don't know." Du Shuang shook his head.
"This shroud wraps a corpse that died with its eyes open. It's enshrined in the ancestral hall in the hope of alleviating its pain, but you've become greedy."
"Once you are greedy, you will have to bear all the suffering for him." Su Nuobai said and looked at him calmly.
Du Shuang sat down on the ground: "Master Su, I know I was wrong, please help me."
Su Nuobai looked at him and said, "Go buy the burial clothes and put them back in the ancestral hall. Eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures every day to pray for him. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."
"Thank you, Master Su. Thank you, Master Su." Du Shuang put down the three buns and hurried to buy funeral clothes.
Uncle Jia watched him running away and asked, "Can I buy it back?"
Su Nuobai: "The shroud was bought the same day he sold it. It's hard to get it back."
"What if I can't find it?" Mo Bao tilted his head and looked at her.
"If you can't find it, you will have to suffer like this until you die." Su Nuobai shook his head helplessly.
Everyone around sighed. Human greed is truly just a moment.
Su Nuobai waited for a while and saw a young couple running towards her.
Both of them looked pale, very pale.
"Su, Master Su, I. The window grilles in our house are bleeding." The man was so nervous that his hands were shaking.
The woman held his hand tightly and was unwilling to let go. She looked around fearfully, afraid that something scary would jump out from somewhere.
Su Nuobai looked at the two people and saw that they still had a faint gloomy aura: "You should have gotten married yesterday."
"Yes, yes, yes. Last night, my wife and I had just finished our marriage ceremony when I looked up and saw red liquid leaking from the paper cutouts on our windows."
"We both thought we were seeing things, but when we got closer we found that it was the same as blood, and there was a faint smell of blood." Sha Yuan said this with some fear.
"Neither of us dared to sleep last night. We stayed awake until dawn. Seeing that nothing was wrong, we couldn't help but take a nap. When we woke up, we hurried to find you."
Tan Ying added, grabbing her husband's arm.
"Why is this nice window paper-cut bleeding?" Brother Zhou looked puzzled.
Sha Yuan shook his head for a while: "We don't know either. My wife and I have never done anything bad."
He quickly denied it, fearing that people would misunderstand that they had done something bad, which led to such a strange thing happening.
Su Nuobai was also quite puzzled. The two men looked like they had never done anything bad, so how could they have provoked these things?
"Where did you get the window decorations in your house?"
Sha Yuan: "I just bought it randomly on the street before the wedding. I don't really see what's so strange about it. My mother took care of it, so I don't know where I bought it."
"Feng Zhi, go with him and bring back their window paper-cuts for me to see." Su Nuobai looked at Feng Zhi and said.
"I'll wait for you here." Tan Ying didn't dare to go, so she decided to wait for him here.
Sha Yuan nodded: "Okay, it's not safe for you to go back."
"Master Su, what's going on with the bleeding window paper-cuts?" Uncle Jia and the others were extremely curious.
"I need to see the details to know. I can't just make up something for you without seeing it!" Su Nuobai said with a smile.
While waiting for the wind to arrive, everyone talked about some strange things they had heard.
"Master Su, is there really such a thing as a yellow-skinned man asking for a title?" One person remembered something he often heard people mention.
"The weasel is also known as the Yellow Immortal. When it reaches a certain level of cultivation, it needs to transform. At this time, it will put on human clothes and ask the first person it meets."
"Do I look like a human to you?" Su Nuobai looked at the people around him and asked, "Do you know how to answer?"
A group of people shook their heads. They were so scared that they didn't know how to answer him.
"Master Su, how should I answer this?" Uncle Jia had also heard of such a legend.
Su Nuobai: "The normal answer is yes, then it will shed its beast form and become human, and will also establish a good relationship with you. It will give you a prediction of good or bad luck or give you some money."
"What if the answer doesn't sound right?" someone in the crowd asked.
Su Nuobai raised her eyes and looked at him, only to see that the man was so nervous that his hands and feet were sweating.
“You met.”
Her words were a confirmation, not a question.
Xiang Chengyi nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, but it was a long time ago."
"Have you encountered anything since then?" Su Nuobai looked at him and asked.
Xiang Chengyi shook his head quickly: "I haven't encountered anything."
"That means the demon you encountered was actually kind. You ruined a hundred years of its cultivation with just one sentence. It's already good that it didn't become possessed and cause trouble for three generations of your family."
Su Nuobai also had to admit that he was quite lucky.
